Uniko’s 11th Birthday Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Woohoo 🎉 🙌 🥳 


The day is *finally* here and our 11th Birthday Release is now available HERE on the Uniko Website! Hopefully you have hopped on over from HERE where I have formally introduced the new products and you will also find the Brand Ambassador blog hop. There is a £30 eGift certificate up for grabs, so be sure to hop along and comment.

Now let’s see some of the new products in action…

For my first card today I wanted to create a Spring flower garden. I started by stamping and masking the Spring Botanicals Snowdrop, then the new Spring Botanicals Crocus and then Spring Botanicals Daffodil.

I stamped on Kraft card as I knew I wanted to colour with Prismacolor Pencils and use white and light grey for the snowdrops. I finished the card off with the Mother’s Day sentiment from Everyday Love Sentiments and Everyday Spring Sentiments.

Next up I decided to make a welcome baby card using the bunny from Hoppy Easter.

I started by stamping the Large Background Scattered Polka Hearts in Ballet Slipper ink. I then stamped the outline bunny and bunny tail before fussy cutting them out.

I created the background with a bit of masking and soft ink blending. You might notice a little black ink smudge which I covered with some white Nuvo Drops! The sentiment is another from Everyday Spring Sentiments.

Lastly for today it was only right that I showcased Up & Away and Stencil – Cloud 9.

I already had these balloons stamped, coloured and fussy cut, so apart from waiting for the sparkly clouds to dry, this card was pretty quick to make.

The hot air balloons are adhered using foam adhesive for a little dimension and don’t you just love the sparkle of the clouds.

I hope you like the new products and have enjoyed the fun over the past few days. Be sure to stick around over the coming week/s as I have so much more to share! 

Until then, happy shopping 😉

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star!

Hey & Happy Friday!

I thought I would pop by today and share a super quick card I have made whilst the beans are at nursery. I realised on dropping them off today that it is their nursery assistant’s last day and is leaving for maternity leave.

Unprepared as ever, I thought about what I was going to make for a mummy to be who I don’t know that well and who has decided not to find out the gender of their baby to be.

Here’s what I cam up with…

TwinkleTwinkle

I still had Background Builders: Seeing Stars on my desk from making my CAS Colours & Sketches DT card HERE yesterday, so I decided to pair the smaller stars in the set with the ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ sentiment from Reach For The Stars.

TwinkleTwinkle1

I kept the layout really simple and having treat myself to the Altenew Warm & Cozy ink collection earlier in the week, I decided to use those and a yellow card base for a gender neutral colour scheme.

That’s all I have to share for today, I had better dash and go collect The Beans from nursery. Thank goodness it’s Friday and hopefully I will find some time to create and relax over the weekend!

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

SweetBabyPP

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…

2016SOTW49

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.

Less-Is-More-Header

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.

2016SOTW49a

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 🙂

Hey!

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…

2016SOTW48

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.

2016SOTW48a

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 🙂

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…

2016SOTW47

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.

CTS_166

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 😉

2016SOTW47a

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.
