CAS Colours & Sketches #162

Hey!

Welcome back to another fun challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. This week is sketch week and our host Stef has a fun and easy sketch for you HERE and seen below...




I was in a Spring mood with it being so sunny yesterday in the NE of the UK and decided to give the recently released Some Bunny some inky love...




I can't resist paper piecing the bunny, it is so quick and fun to do. I found a scrap of pink polka dot DP to use.




The colours of my card were inspired by the current Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below, which made for a perfect pink bunny against a backdrop of die cut light green 'mounds' and some kraft 'ground'!




Ok, that's all from me just now, but I will be sharing more today and also HERE with todays SOTW using this weeks CAS Colours & Sketches sketch too ;)

Thanks for stopping by & I hope to see you over in the challenge gallery HERE.

CAS Colours & Sketches #161

Hey!

Welcome back to another fun week & challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. This month our hostess is Stef and this week she has inspired us with another fun colour challenge HERE and seen below.




Shades of purple are not my go to colours and adding in metallic silver had me thrown for a little bit. After I had made my card using the nearest colours I have to those above, I realised I have used the same flowers as the last colour challenge...




Beautiful Blooms II is a lovely flower to stamp in two shades of the same colour :) I used VersaMagic Purple Hydrangea for the outline and Spring Pansy for the centre detail. The sentiment is from Pure Florals: Cosmos and embossed in Silver Dollar. 





As you can see in the close up the Silver Dollar EP adds a lovely shine to the sentiment and I finished the card of by adding a few tiny white crystal sequins. So, I'll be adding my card to the current challenge HERE over at AAA Cards, which is to use sequins :)




That's all from me just now, I hope to see you over in the CC&S gallery and be sure to check out the rest of the CC&S Design Team creations HERE.

Bunny in a Teacup!

Hey!

I'm back today with another bunny card and another one that I was planning on sharing during the release...



Yep, bunny in a teacup! Isn't he cute sat in there?




I paper pieced the tea cup from I LOVE Tea with a small left over of Papertrey Ink Bitty Dot DP in Aqua Mist. I then used my craft knife to make a slit for the fussy cut bunny to slide into. I kept bunny simple with just a little Copic marker to his ears, face & tummy. The sentiment is from the new Simply Said clear stamp set.

I'm having so much fun with Some Bunny that I have another card to share with you tomorrow using him and paring him with more previously released Uniko sets :)

Until then, thank you for stopping by today.
Hugs

Bunny with Balloons!

Hey & Happy Monday!

I do hope your week has got off to a good start? We had a dusting of the white stuff outside this morning, which was fun for the beans to run about in for a few minutes before we went to do errands. I'm almost back to full health and I had a little creative time yesterday afternoon while the beans were napping to create todays card...




This was one of the cards I had planned on making for the release, but due to getting poorly it didn't happen, until now. I hope it was worth the wait?! 




I have used Some Bunny which is paper pieced, a really fun and easy technique to do with the bunny and paired him with the previously released but recently back in stock Balloon Bash clear stamp set. The sentiment is from Simply Said Birthday.

That's all I have for you here today, but I also have a Stamp Of The Week card HERE using this weeks SOTW, which is Balloon Bash. I'd love you to pop on over and see what I have over there today too :)

Ok, I will be back tomorrow with another bunny card and post. Until then, thank you for stopping by today.

CAS Colours & Sketches #160

* For the Uniko February Reveal, Release & GIVEAWAY post please CLICK HERE*

Hey!

Welcome back to another fun challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. This week is sketch week and our host Stef has a fun and easy sketch for you...




I have love on the brain with Valentine's Day just days away and I had all the Uniko February Release goodies on my desk & so this happened...




Yep, another Valentine's card! I don't really need anymore as I only have one husband ;) Though this could be given at anytime of the year, not just for Valentine's. 

On my card I have used the new I Love You sentiment from Simply Said and I have used a trio of hearts. The larger heart with the swirl is from the new I LOVE Tea set, the medium heart from Flower Power #3 and the tiny heart from the new Some Bunny set.




Ok, that's all from me today, I'm hoping it will be a busy one here at Uniko HQ with it being release day ;) If you fancy a look be sure to join in on the release day blog hop, there are prizes!! If not, I hope to see you over HERE in the CAS Colours & Sketches gallery.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Uniko's 4th Birthday, February Release, Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hey!

Today is a celebration here at Uniko HQ, this day 4 years ago Uniko went live and we launched into the clear stamping & paper crafting world of business. 

Being able to celebrate 4 years is down to YOU my friends, loyal customers and blog readers, who have stuck by me and helped me to keep going and to enjoy bringing you (in small amounts) products to use in your love for paper crafting. 

It really does bring me so much joy each time I see a new customer order and a huge grin on my face when I see a card or project around blog land with Uniko products used on it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you that makes this happen. 

So today I bring you 4 new additions to the Uniko line up...



Beautiful Blooms III Acetate £9.00 DVD Case £9.95
Copyright Uniko Ltd 2016

Beautiful Blooms III is a gorgeous new floral addition to the Beautiful Blooms series. The multi stamp bloom is inspired by a vintage teacup motif. This fun, modern graphic floral can be used to create stunning focal points or all over backgrounds for your creative projects. If you liked Beautiful Blooms I and II then this set is sure to be a favourite too!

This is what it could look like if all elements are stamped, This is just an example, but as you have seen there are SO many other possibilities.







I LOVE Tea Acetate £4.00 DVD Case £4.95
Copyright Uniko Ltd 2016

I LOVE Tea is a wonderful mini clear stamp set for tea lovers & friends of yours that love tea. The set features a modern teacup along with a floral motif and wonderful sentiments. Though the set is tea themed it could easily be customised for any hot beverage any time of the year. It also coordinates wonderfully with the previously released I LOVE Coffee clear stamp set.



Simply Said Acetate £4.00 DVD Case £4.95
Copyright Uniko Ltd 2016


This sentiment set is a great addition and staple to any crafter/stampers arsenal. It features a total of 23 sentiments which are suitable for an array of occasions. They are the perfect size to coordinate with an abundance of previously released Uniko sentiments.



Some Bunny Acetate £4.00 DVD Case £4.95
Copyright Uniko Ltd 2016

Some Bunny is a new cute addition to the Uniko clear stamp range. The set features a large bunny which is suitable for many occasions, from Valentine's to Easter to New Baby cards, projects and more. Along with the featured bunny comes bunny accessories! Use these to dress up bunny or use to stamp patterns or accentuate the mix and match sentiments also contained in the set.

Projects I have created will be added here later today, due having a chest infection and sinusitis I simply ran out of energy last night to photograph and edit them, my sincere apologies. However, I know the FABulous Uniko DT and Uniko DT Alumni have a wealth of projects to inspire you today!

As tradition holds we have our release day blog hop, simply visit & comment along the hop by midnight Thursday 26th February, to be in the chance of winning the ENTIRE release! If you have already purchased any or all of the release a refund will be given.
