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…

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

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.

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.

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.

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…

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

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.

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.

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.

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…

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

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 😉

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.

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.

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…

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…

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.

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.

And 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.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today.

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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

This is my card today…

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

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 🙂

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.

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

For my card today I have used some NBUS the SU! File Tabs Edgelits Dies, which I have had for a couple of months. I have been wanting to use them like I have on my card today for some time now!

I saw this idea a while back either on Instagram or Pinterest, but unfortunately I forgot to save the image. The colours of my card are inspired by the new ColourQ challenge colours seen HERE and below.

As there were 4 colours I decided the best way to incorporate them all was by adding strips of CS behind the main image panel. This is a great way for using up those scraps of CS that I seem to have TONS of! Am I the only one who has SO many scraps and half cut into CS in boxes?? I am trying my best to use those before cutting into new sheets.

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.

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

For todays card I wanted to create a patterned background and so I decided to do this using the leaves. I have another card later in the week where I have used all of the stamps from the set to create a background which is just as fun!

I simply cut a piece of white CS to the size I wanted and stamped both sizes of the leaves randomly, trying to rotate them as I stamped . I then stamped the outline bloom on a smaller CS layer and masked the bloom to stamp coordinating leaves from Flower Power #6.

I then stamped a sentiment from the new Simply Said clear stamp set and added some pale blue embroidery thread around the top, tying it in a bow. Once I had adhered all the pieces on my card, I decided to stamp the bloom again, cutting out just the centre petals and adding some glitter.

The colour scheme of my card is inspired by the current {Cupcake Inspirations} challenge seen HERE and below. This time it is a lovely Spring colour challenge. I used SU! Bashful Blue and Lucky Limeade for my colours.

That’s all from me today, 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.

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

This week I decided to go floral and give Beautiful Blooms II some more love. It seems to be one of my all time ‘go to’ flowers and with that I thought it would spark some creativity I seem to be lacking these past few days.

Anyway, here is my first new card using the set…

The colours of my card were inspired by the current Fusion Card Challenge HERE and below. The inspiration photo is what I used and it is the floral cushion in the forefront of the photo that sparked me.

I started by stamping and heat embossing the outline bloom in detail white onto a scrap of pink CS, I think it is a leftover of SU! Regal Rose CS. I then set to fussy cutting the blooms out. The leaves are stamped onto SU! Whisper White CS in VersaMagic Ocean Depth ink and also fussy cut out. I added a panel of SU! SoftSky CS at an angle to my card base before adhering the blooms and leaves in a cluster using DST.

A fairly quick CAS card to kick the week off 🙂 That’s all I have for today, I am feeling the tiredness after an early start and a full on day with beans full of beans!! I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Don’t forget that this set is discounted in store HERE this week too.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Uniko Challenge #29

Hey!

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

As February is Uniko’s birthday month, I chose our logo colours as the combination 🙂 I hope you like them and they inspire you to join in.

Anyway, with the colours being linked to our logo, I continued the theme for my card and used the Uniko logo flower. This is the small one found in I LOVE Coffee, but there is a slightly larger version in Flower Power #3.

I was inspired by the current CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below for my card design and I am pretty chuffed with how it turned out 😉

I’m a little disappointed that my pink isn’t quite the pink I was after and should have used a ‘pinker’ shade. It’s annoying as VersaMagic don’t seem to have a medium pink that I like and the Memento Luxe pink I have is more of a bright raspberry pink. I do have quite a few SU! inks but I am fussy about combining different ink mediums on a card, unless for a sentiment. And I don’t have the other two colours in SU! inks 🙁 I guess I am a little too fussy and OCD about certain things!

The sentiment is from Simply Said Birthday and I add a trio of SU! enamel dots to embellish it, love the glossiness of these 🙂

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