11th Birthday Release In Review Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!
Hello & Happy Friday!
As you may remember, there was a delay with post and a few of the Brand Ambassadors didn’t have chance to fully showcase the 11th Birthday products on the official release post HERE. So I thought it would be nice to have a Release in Review Blog Hop. Plus, you get to see lots more creativity in one place using all the new goodies.
Hopefully you have hopped on over from HERE and the start of the hop. And you won’t want to miss leaving a comment on all the stops as of course I have a giveaway!
Now let’s get to the inspiration I have for you today using some of the products you can see above.
First up I was inspired to use the Stencil – Bokeh Layering Hearts to create this fun and colourful card.
Obviously the name of the stencil implies the idea behind it, to create a soft out of focus layered look. But when I design products I look at ways to get more creative options.
Like I have used on my card today. The large heart is sized perfectly for the LOVE word to fit inside. Once I had a selection of inked hearts I adhered them with foam adhesive, layering them slightly and added a few heart enamel dots and a partial stamped sentiment from Up & Away.
Talking of Up & Away, that’s what I used for my next card today…
Today I decided to make a slimline card. I started by stamping the sentiment and the smaller hot air balloons. I then masked the hot air balloons before ink blending a soft sunny sky.
I then added some soft clouds using the Stencil – Cloud 9 before removing the masks and colouring the balloons with Copic Markers.
Lastly I added one of the larger hot air balloons, that is stamped with the Background Blocks Graffiti Texture. I then adhered the fussy cut balloon using foam adhesive.
For my third card today I continued the sky theme and combined Stencil – Cloud 9 with the clouds from Up & Away.
Kraft card stock is perfect for white fluffy clouds! And I couldn’t resist using the love is in the air sentiment again.
Lastly for today I couldn’t resist using Hoppy Easter to create another fun and colourful card.
I stamped the solid bunnies in a selection of colourful inks and used my MISTI stamping tool to help me line and space them. I then had a great idea to add fluffy bunny tails. I’m hoping The Beans won’t realise I raided their craft box for them!
I think they turned out super cute, though it adds quite a bit of bulk, so definitely a card that won’t be posted! The sentiment is from Everyday Spring Sentiments.
That’s all from me today, but be sure to check out all the wonderful inspiration from the Brand Ambassadors.
Now for the giveaway. I am going to choose one lucky winner to receive a Uniko Clear Stamp & Stencil Bundle worth a minimum of £30. It will be a mix of the new release featured in the hop with a few of my favourites mixed in too.
Simply leave a comment along all stops of the hop before midnight BST Saturday 8th April 2023 and I will randomly select a lucky winner and announce ASAP after the closing date.

The bunny card looks great with all the bright colours. It’s my favourite one. Thanks for showing. Nicole
Love the variations using Up & Away stamp set and the bunnies are so adorable in bright colors!
Lots of loveliness here Bev. Love how you have used the hearts in your first card. How clever to add another stamp to your big balloon in the second card. And those bunnies…just too cute! X
Fabulous set of cards with the new release Bev. My favourites have to be the stunning layered hearts which really pop and the bunnies – adore those little fluffy tails!!

Fabulous cards! I especially love the stenciled heart designs and the colors you used, and those colorful bunnies are just too cute! So fun to add the pompom tails!
They are all wonderful. I do like the kraft card with the clever sentiment to go with it, but maybe the bunnies are my fave.
