Poinsettia flower

The Stampin' Up! team I am in meets regularly once a month to share ideas and learn new techniques and we also do a card swap within our team. This month is Christmas in July, we are making Christmas cards for our swap. As I didn't really have any Christmas Stamp sets (can't wait for the next holiday catty to come out 😁) I thought maybe I could make a Poinsettia out of the Pop of Petals stamp set and punch! This is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty good! What do you think?

What I did to achieve this is I stamped in the same colour as the cardstock and punched out 4 flowers in  the Lovely Lipstick cardstock and ink and stamped and cut out 2 in the Call me Clover cardstock and ink.  The top flower I left whole but the rest I cut into 4 separate petals then glued them individually to the back of the whole flower.  I did the same for the leaves.  I put some wink of stella on the petals and I am thinking of maybe putting a clear faceted gem in the centre as well.

The embossed strip across the card is the Seaside Textured Impressions embossing folder.  I just love the mini sequin trim!

Unicorn card

What do you do on a Saturday morning?  

This morning I decided to make a unicorn card.  I've had in my head for a while now to make one but just haven't made myself sit down and actually get it from my head onto a card.

This is what my card turned out like....

There was a bit of a process to come up with this card, first was the eyes.  Where to place them on the card, What shape do I want?

So first I jumped on my computer opened a word document and played with lines to make an eye.  I like this shape a lot, it is a very happy eye.

Once I had the shape and size I wanted I printed it out then traced over it onto the cardstock as it gave my lines more of a smooth look and same size.

You can see here my fist attempt at the eyes and cheeks....I was not happy with it.

Hmm now the head dress for my Unicorn.  I had to find the right size first and work out what colours I wanted.  The first flower I tried just looked way to big so I found theses cute flowers in one of my stamp sets (which is a discontinued stamp set but I didn't have any others that were the right size).  I cut out the amount I thought I would need and set about putting them together. I did a lot of putting it on the card base above the eyes I'd drawn on to get the shape and Order I wanted for the flowers.  

Now the ears...hmmm what am I going to use that has the right shape I want.  Again I found a discontinued punch that had the perfect shape for the outside and inside of the ears! If you don't have anything like this you can always find a picture on Google and cut them out.

Ok ears done, now the horn, again onto Google and found the perfect shape I wanted!  Copy and pasted it onto a word document and resized it and printed it out.  I love my brother scan and cut!  I scanned the image into my scan and cut, put the cardstock through and cut the horn out....Perfect!

I wanted a gold horn so I used a versamark pen and coloured the areas I wanted gold then used the Gold embossing powder.

My unicorn needs some cute decorations so I found this cute star stamp from the Wood Words stamp set and put them to the side of the eyes using the versamark ink and Gold embossing powder.

Now when I put it all together on the card base it needed something between the flowers and the eyes.  My Detailed with Love stamp set had the perfect stamp which I also did in the Gold embossing powder.  

Oh cheeks, my unicorn needs some blusher so using just a bit of scrunched up hand towel I blotted some light ink in the cheek area.  Then using some silver embossing powder I sprinkled a few bits over the ink then heated.  I then used the Clear wink of stellar and painted that over the ink as well.

I placed it all together on the card base to make sure of placement before gluing.

Oh I also wink of stellared the inside of the ears as well.

Once it was all glued down I glued some embellishments in the middle of the flowers and stamped a sentiment from the Detailed with Love stamp set on the bottom then glued it onto the folded card base.

Wullah!! Done!!

I hope you like my first attempt at a Unicorn Card.

Any question please feel free to ask me. I will list what I have used for you (apart from the discontinued stamp set and punch used for the ears and flowers. I had a look and I think the Bouquet Blooms Stamp set would be a great alternative for the flowers...so now I have to buy it ;) )
