Stamp Of The Week – Pure Florals: Cosmos

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… Pure Florals: Cosmos

PFCosmosPP

This is the set the Design Team and I have revisited this month with a blog hop & giveaway HERE, so with it already out and getting some inky love and attention I thought I would give it some more this week!

I seem to be having many a day where everything I want to do either takes me twice as long as originally planned or turns out to be a waste of time!

2016SOTW42

My card today took me forever to make, the fussy cutting which I normally enjoy seemed to take me forever to do and then I needed some designer paper which I rarely use and had to search high and low for some that suited my card and inspiration photo I was following!

I was inspired by a new to me challenge called Inspired by All the Little Things seen HERE and below. Isn’t that photo inspiring and pretty.

As you can see I kept my card pretty CAS and flat, adhering the flowers and leaves with DST. I added a sentiment from Simply Said and some Wink Of Stella to the flowers for some subtle sparkle.

2016SOTW42a

That’s all I have today, struggling with the creativity tonight 🙁 Anyway, there is still time to join in and comment along the hop HERE to be in the chance of winning the featured clear stamp set. Plus there is also the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop in progress and details and giveaway info HERE.

Ok, that’s all from me today, a little more rest needed to recover and get back up to 100%. Thanks for stopping by today, see you tomorrow and don’t forget that this set is discounted in store HERE this week too!

Todays card is another that was made for and during the class the other Saturday at The Paperlane. The design was inspired and a CASE of THIS card by Sarah G on the hop, isn’t Sarah’s card AMAZING?

HappyBirthdayCosmos

Amazingly I watercolored the flowers, which was quite refreshing and therapeutic, fussy cutting them out was too 😉 I also added a little splash of Wink Of Stella to make them sparkle and shine a little.

2016SOTW41a

Hopefully I will get back into the studio this week creating, I have been hit by yet another virus and was totally out of action again from Wednesday last week. I am feeling better but still full of cold, at least I can stand up without being dizzy!

Anyway, there is still time to join in and comment along the hop HERE to be in the chance of winning the featured clear stamp set. Plus there is also the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop in progress and details and giveaway info HERE.

Ok, that’s all from me today, a little more rest needed to recover and get back up to 100%, hopefully with all the playgroups stopping for Easter I will get my immune system back to normal too 😉

Thanks for stopping by today, see you tomorrow and don’t forget that this set is discounted in store HERE this week too!

Uniko Challenge #30

Hey!

Today over HERE, we have a new Uniko Challenge starting. This month we have a fun colour challenge to inspire your creativity…

ChallengeGraphic3

With Spring almost here and Easter just around the corner, it seemed fitting for this months challenge 🙂

With the recent Uniko release featuring a cute bunny and florals it was a perfect opportunity for me to ink them up! This time I decided to stamp them onto a different kind of surface…

UnikoChallenge#30

I’ve had these SU! mini canvas bags for AGES and whilst STILL cleaning and sorting out following our house move (yes, still sorting a year on) I came across these bags and thought they would be perfect to decorate for the beans Easter gifts. I’ll add some mini chocolate eggs of some kind to them and keep the bags once they’ve eaten the chocolate as a little memento with the box of stuff I have saved in the loft already!

UnikoChallenge#30a

I stamped the bunny from Some Bunny in SU! Early Espresso ink and the sentiment from the same clear stamp set in VersaFine Onyx Black ink. The flowers are from Pure Florals: Cosmos Uniko’s Revisited Clear Stamp Set this month HERE (there is still time to hop along, comment and be in the chance of winning the set) and I did some simple masking and stamped them in a trio of SU! Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Summer Sun inks.

Ok, that’s all from me just now, but be sure to pop on over HERE to see the inspiration from our Guest Designer Cornelia and the Uniko DT. I hope to see you in the gallery 😉

Stamp Of The Week – Background Builders: Vines

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… Background Builders: Vines

BBVinesPP

I’ve one last card to share using this weeks SOTW, I had planned on sharing more, but simply ran out of weekend. Mainly due to the piles of washing and ironing I have neglected the past couple of days. If I don’t do a little bit everyday it just gets WAY out of hand!

Anyway, enough of my rambling, this is one of the cards we made at my recent class at The Paperlane on Saturday…

2016SOTW40

I used one of the background building strips behind the double layered mini tag from Pretty Pink Posh, which is embellished with a partial stamped piece of a larger background building stamps from the set. I added a trio of tiny flowers and a sentiment from Simply Said and tied a bow of bakers twine to the tags. Once the tag was adhered to the card I added a trio of flowers adhered to the card using foam adhesive and some tiny rhinestones.

2016SOTW40aThat’s all from me today using this set, but I will be back tomorrow with more to share and another SOTW set. Don’t forget that this set is discounted in store HERE and will be back to normal price tomorrow.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today.

I’m enjoying revisiting this clear stamp set & with a lot of the challenges around blogland turning towards Spring is a lovely refreshing change…

2016SOTW39

Again my card is inspired by a few challenges! First up the layout is based on the new CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below. I love the quirky style of the sketch and tried to translate this onto my card using various stamps from the set.

2016SOTW39a

The colours I have used are inspired by the new Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below and as the current challenge over at TIME OUT Challenges is Spring or Easter with an optional twist of masking. I didn’t do any masking on my card but can still enter for the other part. Be sure to check the challenge out HERE.

I had a good creative evening last night and made a few CAS cards, including todays…

2016SOTW37

A nice bright and cheery Spring/Easter card to brighten a dull, cold and VERY rainy day! The tiny florals in the set are great for creating bloom clusters like I have on this card. I added a sentiment from Some Bunny and I love adding a white on white decorative die cut strip to my cards at the moment, I love the subtle interest it creates. So not so see the join of the die cut I added some Bakers Twine and a bow.

BBVinesPP

It seems as though my mojo is slowly returning, all be it super CAS…

2016SOTW38

For todays card I decided to pair a few of the flowers from the set with one of the sentiments from the Hero Arts Acts Of Kindness stamp set. The tiny flower stamps are perfect to use as confetti, hence my choice of sentiment 😉

2016SOTW38a

Again I turned to a challenge for my colour choices, this time I was inspired by the challenge colours over at TGIF Challenge! seen HERE and below.

Sorry for the long absence in blogging, I have still been suffering from illnesses and consequently I have had a lack of mojo this past week 🙁

Anyway, it’s Monday and with a new week comes new motivation to kick this bugs behind and find my creative energy! So with that, this evening I ‘made’ myself sit down and create a card using this weeks SOTW. This was and still is a favourite of mine and it was nice to dust it off and give it some new inky love…

2016SOTW36

For todays card I decided to pair a few of the flowers from the set with a NBUS SU! stamp set I got last month from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. As I have used some NBUS on my card it is perfect to enter into the lovely Darnell’s current NBUS Challenge HERE.

As usual I also turned to a couple of my other favourite challenges to spark my creativity! First up the layout of my card is based on the current CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below.

CTS_162

As you can see I used a little artistic license for the sketch, I added the bakers twine bow below the panel instead of on the panel like the sketch shows as it worked better for my card with the large sentiment.

2016SOTW36aAnd for the colours of my card I used the current (soon to be ending) Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below.

That’s all from me today using this set, but I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Don’t forget that this set is discounted in store HERE this week too.

Stamp Of The Week & Uniko Challenge #29 Reminder

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… Beautiful Blooms II

BeautifulBloomsIIPP

Today I am combining SOTW with my Uniko Challenge #29 reminder card 😉 I had a bit of creative block yesterday, I have SO much I want to do on my bean free days, it’s hard to know where to start! It is also eerily quiet without them, I don’t think I have quite got used to them not being here for an afternoon!

2016SOTW35

Anyway, I decided to use the Uniko Challenge colours seen HERE and below as my inspiration!

ChallengeGraphic2

I also needed some help with my card layout, so I turned to the new CAS Colours & Sketches challenge seen HERE and below for the layout of my card.

sketch 162-2

I was stumped for a while as to what to use for the strips on the sketch and then it occurred to me that I have used ribbon for AGES. Do you find yourself reaching for the same accessories over and over, not using different things? I do and I have to say I have missed not adding ribbon!

2016SOTW35a

I added a few SU! It’s My Party Enamel Dots and a sentiment from Simply Said stamped in Hero Arts Soft Granite ink to finish the design off.

That’s all from me today using this set, but I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Don’t forget that this set is discounted in store HERE this week too. I hope to see you in the challenge galleries 😉

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today.

Stamp Of The Week – Beautiful Blooms II

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… Beautiful Blooms II

BeautifulBloomsIIPP

This is my card today…

2016SOTW34

I was inspired by the new Freshly Made Sketches sketch seen HERE and below for the layout of my card.

FMS Final 225-001

I decided to look through my NBUS stash pile and was looking for something a little different to use. I came across a gold die cut which looked fun to create the panel. Instead of using the panel I decided to use the negative stripes and I am rather pleased how it turned out 🙂

2016SOTW34a

I still had some pink CS left on my desk from another card I am sharing tomorrow and so that helped me with my colour scheme. I added some Wink Of Stella to the white areas on the stamped bloom and leaves and adhered the bloom to the card using foam adhesive.

Super quick and simple again tonight, so that’s all from me today using this set, but I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Don’t forget that this set is discounted in store HERE this week too.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today.
