Flying Unicorns Christmas Card

Cards do not need to be elaborate, detailed or chock full of product.  Sometimes a simple card speaks volumes, conveys your message clearly and provides a classic comfort to those receiving it.

This card was simple thanks to the wonderful new collection by Kaisercraft - St Nicholas Collection.  It has a few sheets of small journal cards which help making a quick classic card extra easy.  

Pick up the St Nicholas Collection at the Flying Unicorns here and you are one simple step away from making all your holiday and Christmas cards. 

How easy?  I mounted my Kaisercraft tag on some gold/yellow cardstock, inked the egdes.  Then mounted that on a layer of Kaisercraft St Nicholas Collection - Grandfather Frost  paper P1284.  

That layer was mounted on red/burgundy cardstock.

I punched holes for the twine and then glued the embellishments on.  Done.

Prima December BAP -Love Is...

Prima's  December Build A Page Challenge

When I saw Magda's creative design, I knew Prima's square Stitch Stamp was perfect for this challenge.  I scrapped a photo of my husband and me on a trip to Florida summer 2012.  I picked the music paper from Finnabair's  Vintage Vanity A4 pad as an accent to symbolize my musician husband. You can find the post on Prima's blog here. 

And what a great design by Magda Bolinska.  

I played off the colors in the photo as my inspiration by painting on some Splash of Color Silks next to my stamping. Just fun, careless brush strokes as the Splash of Color silks were meant to be used. 

I also painted the Prima crystals at the bottom to blend in better.   The black washi tape from Prima's Engraver collection was ripped then glued.   I always like to secure my tape with glue to hold it better. 

Thanks for looking.  Consider playing along with the Prima BAP challenge.

Flying Unicorns Dec Kit of the Month - Umbrellas

Flying Unicorns Kit of the Month for December -Magic

The Kit of the Month (KOM) is called Magic.   It most certainly is a box full of fun, colorful and wonderful magic. Kaisercraft, Marion Smith, Pink Paislee, Petaloo and Prima, stamps, mist, flowers, wood  and metal embellishments and more.

The Kaisercraft Enchanted Garden begged me to pull out some photos I took of my niece a few  summers ago twirling some paper umbrellas in the yard on a sunny summer day.

I thought I would create the Enchanted Garden on my page for little niece.

The Prima Lucido flowers were a great match and pop of color and sparkle.  I tucked in some web weave trim as leafy greens.

My background is from Shimmerz Spritz mists that are listed below. Also some dribbles and drips of 13 Arts  Ayeeda ink and then some Prima stenciling. I also rubbed pink gelato around the page with my fingers  and misted with water to give a more uniform look to the background.

The wood fencing came in the kit as well.  Adds great effect to my garden.

Here are the Prima Lucido flowers upclose.  Pretty.

Thanks for stopping.    Order your kit today.

Flying Unicorns Kit of the Month for December - Magic - Magic Happens

Flying Unicorns Kit of the Month December - Magic

Flying Unicorns has released it's Kit of the Month called Magic and it is packed with Magic and beauty.   I thought I would create a soft Christmas piece to reflect the magic of the season.

I started with some stamping and inking and misting with Shimmerz  to create the background.  After that, I used a Prima Mask -Bubbles and some molding paste. 

After my background was created, I worked on the "Magic" sentiment and the Dusty Attic chipboard. 

I painted both the cardboard and the chipboard with gesso then rolled embossing ink onto it and topped with Stampendous Aged White embossing enamel. 

The holly leaves are punched from Tim Holtz holly die. I folded in the middle to crease, added ink gto the edges.   I stamped on them with white paint and embossed the edges with fine gold powder.

Thanks for looking.  You can get your kit at the Flying Unicorns. 

I have also provided you with handy links to the Flying Unicorns store to assist in your shopping.
