Christmas is Coming at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Include Pearls/Bling

I've made these cards in 3 different colours.  They were quite quick to stitch up and I decided to change the individual stitches for the lights into beads as I have quite a few in my stash.  I'm really pleased with how they turned out.



Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy and Healthy New Year.

Go Gold for Childhood Cancer at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Gp Gold for Childhood Cancer.
 

This theme was my choice.  I was inspired by a little girl local to me, Sophie Fairall, who sadly passed away a year ago at the age of just 10 from cancer.  Her family have been fighting to raise awareness of childhood cancer and improve the hospital experience for sick children and their families ever since.  September is childhood cancer awareness month which I didn't know about before. To find out more about Sophie's journey and her remarkable legacy please visit https://www.sophieslegacy.co.uk/

Summertime at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Summer Time

  Who doesn't love a bit of nice summery weather?  I'm lucky enough to live 10 minutes from the beach and it's just beautiful at this time of year.  Ive made this summery card using a chart from a magazine, hand dyed fabric by KLT Charting and some paper from a pad I bought in Lidl.

Christmas in July

 

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Christmas in July


 I've made this card using variegated DMC thread, I thought the colours quite suited the Christmas tree chart.  Luckily I had some tree paper in my stash which I think goes quite well too.


 Seems mad to be thinking about Christmas already but it'll come round soon enough!

Monochrome at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Monochrome

I decided to get out my pad of black and white papers and used three complementary designs and make a simple card.  I used my die cutter to cut out the hand stamped sentiment and added a small butterfly punch.  I'm really pleased with how this turned out.

Include Pears/Bling at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Include Pearls/Bling

I've made this cute cat card for my son for Christmas.  It's by Durene Jones and I modified it slightly by using sparkly etoile threads for some of the green in the tree, the sentiment and the stars.

Include an Animal at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Include an Animal

I've made this cute little bear using a kit from a magazine.  He's really sweet and not too difficult to stitch apart from the backstitch, which was a bit fiddly.  He's going to be for my mother-in-law for her birthday.

Dots and/or Stripes at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Dots and/or Stripes

I thought that my washi tape collection would be perfect for this challenge.  I've got a selection of pink and blue shades in my stash but thought I'd use blue as it's my husband's birthday next month.



I'm really pleased with how this turned out.  It was a bit tricky gettng all the tape to line up square but I think it's worked out OK.

Let's See Red at Unicorn

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Let's See Red

I'm not a massive fan of Valentine's day so I've decided to ignore the obvious red theme for this time of year and get a head start on my Christmas cards instead!


I love a clean and simple card and this theme has given me the opportunity to play with my new circle cutter that I got for Christmas last year.  I used holographic card and ribbons from my stash to come up with a simple but elegant design.

Layer it Up at Unicorn

 

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new monthly challenge at Unicorn.  Our theme this time is Layer it Up


I've made another 3D aperture card using a kit that I picked up at he craft show at the NEC a couple of years ago.  This was quick and easy for me to do, it's hard to fit in card making at this time of year when it's so busy!

 

 

Happy New Year to you all, hopefully 2022 will be a much better one for all of us!
