Stamp Of The Week – Sweet Baby

Hey!

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

I enjoyed making yesterdays shaker card so much that I couldn’t resist making another! This time I used the cute teddy bear in the set…

I decided I wanted to play along with the current “Less is More” challenge HERE which is to use non white white space! Basically a card with a coloured card base and plenty of uncluttered space on the card.

Oh, and you might want to join in on the challenges this month over there as Uniko is the sponsor this month 😉

So, with that in mind I decided to use a kraft card base and used the same Papertrey Inks Mega Limitless Layers Dies to create the shaker frame along with a Sizzix circle die. The shaker mix is from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards and is the Phosphorescence mix. The sentiment is a mix of Sweet Baby and I added a few SU! It’s My Party Enamel dots.

Again, I decided to make the card gender neutral and coloured my bears in shades of aqua to match the sequin shaker mix.

Ok, that’s all from me today and using this set. I will be back with more to share tomorrow with a new SOTW. Don’t forget that this set is discounted HERE on the website until tomorrow.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Stamp Of The Week – Sweet Baby

Hey!

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

Whilst creating yesterdays SOTW card using the duck and ducklings I had an idea for a shaker card and continued the theme, stamped and coloured a few extra ducks to create todays shaker card…

I’m super pleased how this one turned out 🙂 I used Papertrey Inks Mega Limitless Layers Dies to create the shaker frame along with a Sizzix circle die. The shaker mix is from Little Things from Lucy’s Cards and is the Phosphorescence mix. The sentiment is a mix of Sweet Baby and Simply Said and I added a few SU! It’s My Party Enamel dots.

I chose a Soft Stone card base to mix with the yellow and shades of aqua, which creates a general baby card suitable for both genders. So fun to make I might just have to do a teddy bear one 😉

Ok, that’s all from me today, I will be back with more to share using this set tomorrow. Don’t forget that this set is discounted this week HERE on the website.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Stamp Of The Week – Sweet Baby

Hey!

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

Later than planned with my next SOTW card due to a migraine on Wednesday resulting in an early night and Date Night yesterday resulting in a late night! We went out for dinner and a movie and I enjoyed Superman V Batman more than I thought I would, however I am still not sure of Ben Affleck as Batman.

Anyway, back to my card…

Todays card uses the new CAS(E) this Sketch! sketch seen HERE and below, such a fun sketch with so many possibilities. This is the first idea that popped into my head.

I used my Mama Elephant dies to create the scalloped edge to represent ripples on the water. The ducks are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black, flat coloured with Copic markers and fussy cut out. The white panels and the larger duck are adhered to the SU! Pacific Point card base using foam adhesive. I love how the little ducklings sit nestled in the scallops 😉

Ok, that’s all from me today, I will definitely be back with more to share using this set tomorrow. Don’t forget that this set is discounted this week HERE on the website.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Stamp Of The Week – Sweet Baby

Hey!

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

I’ve chosen this set to revisit this week for a couple of reasons (no I am not pregnant!) first up it recently came back in stock and secondly my friend from Uni just became a Grandma this week 🙂

So, with needing to make a couple of baby cards I thought it the perfect opportunity to give this set some inky love. This is what I came up with for todays card…

Today I was inspired by a card over on Pinterest HERE, by the AMAZING Shari Carroll. I loved the layering of sentiments, die cut frame and colours, so I thought I would give it a whirl with the BABY sentiment from the set. The tiny scattered hearts are stamped from Balloon Bash.

I don’t often make cards which have so many layered elements, but I thoroughly enjoyed the change! The hello sentiment is a Mama Elephant die and the die cut frame is a Papertrey Ink die. I’ve used some stash that hasn’t seen use for some time too, which also felt good 😉

Ok, that’s all from me today, I will be back with more to share using this set tomorrow. Don’t forget that this set is discounted this week HERE on the website.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

Stamp Of The Week – Sweet Baby

Hey!

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

So, with needing to make a couple of baby cards I thought it the perfect opportunity to give this set some inky love. This is what I came up with for todays card…

I used the current CAS(E) this Sketch! sketch seen HERE below for the layout of my card and as my friends daughter has had a little boy I decided to add some naturals to the blue base of the card.

I know I am biased, but I love this cute bear and decided to use him for this card! I simply stamped him onto some kraft CS and fussy cut him out. The sentiment is a mix of precious from Sweet Baby and New Baby from Simply Said.

As I’ve added some Papertrey Ink Bitty Polka Dot Satin ribbon I am going to enter this card into the current “Less is More” challenge HERE, which is to use Polka Dots.

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

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

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…

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.

This is my last card this week using the set, I seem to have lost a couple of days since the restocks arrived and I have been busy preparing the mini April Release too 😉 Anyway, how about my card…

I decided to play along with a couple of challenges for this card. First up the TIME OUT Challenges one HERE, which is to CASE (with your own twist) this beautiful card by Marjan seen below…

I especially like the die cut window Marjan created, but I decided to add my own twist and reverse the window, adding foam adhesive to the die cut square instead of the larger stamped panel.

Along with the die cut detail I was inspired by the trio of colours Marjan used too and replicated those on my card. I added some polka dots too, which is perfect for this weeks “Less Is More” challenge HERE.

Ok, that’s all from me tonight, I’m going to spend a little time with the hubby tonight, we are currently watching the second season of Daredevil and loving it!

I hope you all had a lovely Easter Sunday and thanks for stopping by today, see you tomorrow with a new Stamp Of The Week and don’t forget that this set is discounted in store HERE only until tomorrow!

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…

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!

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.

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!

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…

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?

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.

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…

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…

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!

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 😉
