Belle de Fleur Sneak peek from the new Kanban Crafts collection

Sneak Peek time here at Unicorn Crafts ready for the release on Thursday 1 day spectacular show on Create & Craft TV.

Belle De Fleur is a stunning new collection which is brought to you by Kanban Crafts. The collection is huge and extremely versatile and great for all sorts of projects. 

I have designed this as one of my samples to be shown on the tv on Thursday. 

It is a giant chipboard scallop edge tag which I have layered papers and distressed using Tim Holtz distress inks.

I have used various elements from across the kit to embellish the tag and used die cut flowers, postcards, toppers etc to layer the tag design.

Within the kits there are lots of different shape, size and patterned flowers and butterflies which are beautiful.

I have to say the Paris theme element in the kits is one of my favourites but lets be honest the whole kit is stunning.

Don't forget to tune in on Thursday to Create & Craft TV and catch the Kanban Crafts 1 day Spectacular shows to order your kits.

Thanks for looking and don't forget you can follow on our Facebook page Unicorn Crafts - Handmade Cards and accessories.

Lots of hugs

Tiddly Ink Stamps - Cheerleading fun Thank You Card

It was the Uk Schools Cheer leading championships last weekend and a friend asked me to make a Thank you card for her daughter's cheer leading coaches. 

It had to be big ready for the messages from all the parents so it is a A4 size card in landscape. I used the squad colours for the backing and additional elements and made the bunting from a Stampin Up Bunting punch and hand stamped the letters from a alphabet stamp set by Dovecraft.

Now for the cheer leaders these super cute cheer leaders are by the amazing Tiddly Inks Stamps & Digi's and is called Annie Cheers!. 

I coloured the 6 images in a mixture of hair colours and kept the uniform matching the squad. I have used Mainly Promarker Pens for the colouring.

The Owls sentiments down the side were Die cut from an alphabet set by Memory Box.

I have to say I love this card it's full of fun.

Thanks for looking

Joining the Kanban Design Team

Some amazing news came through last week, I have been selected to join the Kanban Crafts design team with the other lovely ladies I'm sure we are going to have a fab time.
Here are a few cards I have made this week using some of the older Kanban craft supplies. The oldies are goodies though :)

Workshop Reviews

Well I have been so busy with work and workshops so I'm here now with some reviews of our recent workshops.

This was the first of our workshops at The Tree House Bookshop in Kenilworth, we looked at Distress ink techniques and this was one of our projects. To tie in with the bookshops recent Shakespeare celebrations we decided to use some his famous quotations for the plaque.

Our next class is on this Thursday at 10.30 am and we are joining in the Foodie Fortnight antics going on in Kenilworth with an Afternoon themed selection of projects. We still have a couple of spaces available if you would like to join in.

A beautiful spring day for the beginning of April

I have naughtily been neglecting my blog so I am back and have lots going on to tell everyone about.

Firstly we have joined forces with The Tree House Book Shop and their fab venue so that we can hold more Craft workshops and offer fab facilities whilst we are there.

We currently have the first 8 weeks booked in which is very exciting and these classes can all be booked via me or the bookshop with a non refundable deposit of £5.00. For more information go to our Facebook page where all the details can be found.

We are also happy to announce that we will be showcasing our goods at the New Fargo Village in Coventry in September when it opens it's doors. We will be part  Kejoe's Designs outlet called Express your shelves. We will also be running papercrafting classes within the venue on a regular basis too.

And finally we have big plans for a special wedding stationery workshop held once a month. More details to be announced.

Now I have samples to get making for the Bookshop so I will be back later to show you all what we have planned.

Tuesday already??

Well Tuesday is already here and wow the last few days have flown by. I've been crafting behind the scenes in preperation for some workshops and also some card orders.

This is one thing that I created today using Card-io products, I used Versacolor Topaz and distressed the areas and then used Dragonfly garden stamp set to add pattern to the cards and the envelopes in side to hold the cards are also stamped.

Loved making this it is so versatile and could be done in allsorts of colours.

See you all very soon
