Hello !
C’est de nouveau samedi, ce qui signifie un nouveau défi chez Less is More et quelle chance puisqu’il s’agit de celui que vous attendez tous (je vous jure qu’on finit par l’aimer !)…..
Bonjour !
It’s Saturday again, which means a new challenge over at Less is More and what a chance since it’s the one that you all are waiting for (I swear that you’ll finish by loving it !)….
Et oui, nous aimerions voir dans notre galerie cette semaine, des cartes faites sur une seule couche (One Layer Card) et des étoiles pour les illustrer ! Comme vous le savez déjà, notre sponsor ce mois-ci est Uniko et nous avons encore le grand honneur d’accueillir cette semaine sa fondatrice, Bev, en tant que Invité Créative ! Pour ceux qui ont la chance d’être dans les alentours de Doncaster Dimanche, je vous rappelle qu’elle tiendra un stand au Stamp Magic Craft Show. Une belle occasion de la rencontrer ainsi que certains membres de l’équipe et d’y trouver la prochaine sortie qui a lieu lundi prochain sur le site !
We would love to see in our gallery this week, One Layer Cards with some stars to illustrate them ! As you already know, our sponsor this month is Uniko and we have again the great honour to welcome this week its creator, Bev, as our Guest Designer ! For the lucky ones who are around Doncaster on Sunday, I remind you that she will have a stand at the Stamp Magic Craft Show. A lovely occasion to meet her as well as some members of the team and to find the next release which will be available next Monday on the web shop !
1/ Joyeux Noël
J’ai dans ma réserve, un tas de tampons en bois, qui pour certains d’entre eux n’ont encore pas été utilisés (oui je sais, j’ai honte !). J’ai donc voulu y remédier en utilisant cette magnifique étoile !
I have in my stash, a lot of wooden stamps, which for some of them have never been used (yes I know, I’m ashamed !). So I wanted to remedy it by using this wonderful star !
Sur une double carte bleue j’ai tamponné l’étoile et le sentiment avec de l’encre Versamark et j’ai embossé à chaud avec de la poudre blanche !
On a double blue card, I stamped the star and the sentiment with Versamark and I heat embossed with white embossing powder.
Même si pour nos challenges nous aimons voir des cartes avec des espaces vides, du coup je trouvais que la mienne avais trop d’espace vide et j’ai donc rajouté ce ruban de petites étoiles tout droit sorti de la dernière réalisation de Septembre de chez Uniko !
Even if for our challenges we love to see cards with blank spaces, I found that mine had to much empty space, so I added this ribbon of little stars that just comes straight from the latest September release at Uniko !
Pour finir j’ai juste ajouté une petite perle au centre de l’étoile avec un crayon Pearl Pen !
To finish, I just added a little drop of a cream Pearl Pen on the center of the star !
Stamp: PSX “G-0181”, Uniko “Reach for the stars”, CAS-ual fridays “Lovely snowflake” (sentiment) – Embellishment: Hero Arts “white EP”, Viva Decor Pearl Pen “Cream”.

2/ Bonne Année / Happy New Year
Pour cette carte j’ai été inspirée entre autres par deux défis en cours : CAS Colours & Sketch pour le sketch et Christmas Cards Challenge pour les couleurs.
For this card I’ve been inspired among others by two current challenges : CAS Colours & Sketch for the sketch and Christmas Cards Challenge for the colours.
Voici ma carte / Here is my card.
Comme vous pouvez le constater, cette carte est très simple et facile à réaliser. J’ai tamponné tous les éléments avec de l’encre Versamark et j’ai embossé à chaud avec de la poudre argenté.
As you can notice it, this card is very simple and easy to make. I stamped all the elements with Versamark ink and I heat embossed with silver powder.
Puis avec des crayons de couleurs je me suis amusée à colorer l’intérieur des étoiles. Un peu de Wink of Stella sur les étoiles pour donner un peu plus de brillance à la carte (malheureusement ça ne se voit pas sur la photo) et voilà !
Then with coloured pencils I had fun to colour inside the stars. A bit of Wink of Stella over the stars to give a little bit more of shimmer to the card (unfortunately we cannot see it on the picture), and Voilà !
Stamp: Uniko “Background builders: seeing stars”, Simply Graphic “planche bonheur et prospérité” (sentiment) – Embellishment: Hero Arts “silver EP”, Kuretake Wink of Stella “Clear & Silver” – Coloured Pencils : Faber-Castell Polychromos “#134 & 138”.

3/ Joyeux Anniversaire
J’ai fait cette carte pour ma chère équipière Sharon qui fêtait son anniversaire mardi dernier, n’hésitez pas à lui laisser un peu mot pour l’occasion !
I made this card for my dear teamy Sharon who celebrated her birthday this past Tuesday, do not hesitate to leave her a lovely comment for the occasion !
Sur une double carte blanche j’ai masqué pour créer une bande puis j’ai mélangé cinq tons d’encres Distress. J’ai enlevé les bandes de masquage puis j’ai séché avec le pistolet à air chaud. J’ai appliqué de la poudre antistatique et j’ai tamponné les différentes étoiles avec de l’encre Versamark avant d’embosser avec de la poudre or. Pour finir j’ai tamponné le sentiment en noir.
I masked a double white card to create a stripe then I blended five shades of Distress inks. I took off the masking stripes then I heat dried. I put some antistatic powder and I stamped the different stars with Versamark ink before heat embossing with gold powder. To finish I stamped the sentiment in black.
Stamp: Uniko “Background builders: seeing stars”, Simply Graphic “planche anniversaire” (sentiment) – Embellishment: Simon Says Stamp “Antique Silver”, Ranger “Perfect Pearls” – Inks : Distress “Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seeds, Ripe Persimmon, Abandoned Coral”.

You are rocking the stars week Izzy! What a trio of delightful cards. Firstly, let me say your last card, which I am lucky to have receives is stunning! The warm colours and rich gold stars are so beautiful. Thank you for sending it to me. Love the vibrancy of the starry baubles with that wonderful CAS design, and your white star card is just perfection. Beautifully crisp and the string of stars really completes it beautifully xx
Wonderful makes once again, Izzy. Loving the starry baubles and the gold embossed stars on that delicious blend of colours. But for me, the star in white on blue looks beautiful. Such a gorgeous design, and perfect paired with those Uniko stars xx
Gorgeous card, Izzy! The white on blue is stunning!

Each of these cards are so amazing. Just when I thought I found my fav and new one appears as I scroll down. Wow!
Another week of fabulous cards, Izzy. Love that ribbon of stars on your first card and it was the perfect addition. Will have to add that set to my list now just for that image. Beautiful colouring and colours on your star ornament card. I’m really loving purple this year. And Sharon’s card is so soft and pretty. I’m sure she loved it. Great cards. Have a wonderful week. xx
Wonderful use of the AAA Cards sketch, delighted to have you playing along.
Delighting in your trio of lovely cards, Izzy…starry sensational, indeed! Thank you for sharing your first pretty blue wonder at Addicted to Stamps and More and Happy Little Stampers. Cheering that you’ve added the silver/purple stars to INKspirational. And the third, with the sunrise/sunset strip, sporting gold stars, is a welcome addition to our challenge at STAMPlorations’ CAS challenge!
Hugs~carol
All three of your star-inspired cards are gorgeous, Isabelle. Their designs are simple and interesting. So is your use of embossing powder. Thanks for entering your second card in the CC&S challenge this week. Warmly, Cathy
Ooooh! A trio of starry delights Izzy! The elegance of the first star against that blue cardstock is just spectacular and teamed with the Uniko constellation of stars takes it to another level. So crisp and neat. I love your take on the CAS colours and sketches challenge with Uniko taking centre stage on that one too plus how classy is the shimmer on your last card. So beautiful, such crisp inky blending and striking, dazzling Uniko stars again. You’ve certainly rocked this one. Hugs xx
Very pretty card, love the colors! thanks for joining us at AAA Cards!
Beautiful assortment of cards, and you’ve used my all time favourite PSX star stamp in the first one! Cathy x

A big fan of your amazing creativity but my favourite (although you shouldn’t have favourites) is the first card…absolutely CAS perfection…wonderful x
What a wonderful collection of beautiful cards. Thanks so much for entering your three star card at CASology. It’s a wonderful card.
A trio of delicious starry cards, Isabelle … gorgeous, crisp designs .. and as ever, so impeccably executed! I’m especially partial to the first one … a beautiful delicate main image and a wonderful ribbon of tiny stars … all in crisp white against that luscious wedgewood blue … love it! Bises, Anita 🙂
