Stamp Of The Week – Balloon Bash

Hey!

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

My apologies for being MIA with SOTW last week and I was planning on sharing more of the Uniko February and 4th Birthday celebrations over here too, but due to a sudden onset of a chest infection and sinusitis last Monday I was only able to keep up with the essentials over on the blogspot blog. You can catch up with all the fun and release day blog hop & giveaway HERE, there is still time to enter too.

Anyway, back to this weeks SOTW and my card for today…

Today I have started off CAS and bright with a sprinkling of sequins! Perfect for a wintery code day with a dusting of snow we had this morning.

I started by stamping and fussy cutting the balloons, the pink one is adhered flat to the card with the turquoise one foam mounted. The sentiment is from the new Simply Said sentiment set and the sequins are Pretty Pink Posh.

The new challenge over HERE at AAA Cards is sequins, so my card is perfect for that challenge! I seem to struggle with adding sequins to my cards, I always think that I’ve just plopped them rather than placing them nicely! Oh well, think I need more practice 😉

That’s all from me here today, but I’ve used Balloon Bash with one of the new February Release stamp sets over HERE today too, for a bonus of inspiration using this set 😉

Ok, 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.

Anyway, onto my last card this week using this set…

It was inspired by a new to me colour challenge, one that I came across this morning whilst hopping to each of the Uniko Design Teams blogs HERE as we start the February Release product introductions 🙂

The challenge is called TGIF Challenge! and they do a mixture of challenges. This week HERE is a colour challenge…

For my card I simply used all of the colours and randomly stamping the smaller outline butterfly across the bottom of my card and up towards the righthand top corner. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of CS and mounted with foam adhesive. I had a little ink boo boo on the card just above the sentiment strip so added a fussy cut butterfly to cover it 😉

Ok, that’s all from me today, I will be back tomorrow with LOTS more to share. Until then, be sure to keep an eye out on the blogs and social media for all the fun and GIVEAWAYS! We have another product introduction tomorrow, so be sure to stop by both blogs for a closer look and inspiration 😉

Stamp Of The Week – English Country Garden Butterflies

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… English Country Garden – Butterflies

I also did a ‘Pin it, to WIN it’ HERE on Pinterest too 😉

I’m a bit late today due to an unforeseen lack of beans napping this afternoon, anyway, back to my SOTW card,

First of all I was inspired by the new challenge and join in with the celebrations over at “Less is More” this week as they celebrate their 5th Birthday! Congrats LIM 🙂

This week is a colour week, White on White with a splash of black or metallics and it is a FUN sponsored challenge, including Uniko as a sponsor!! Be sure to check out the fun & join in HERE, there are a few more Uniko February peeks over there too 😉

I also used the new Fusion Card Challenge HERE and below as I enjoyed using the sketch so much for yesterdays card.

I kept things really simple, stamping the trio of butterflies in Encore Gold ink. The larger of the butterflies is fussy cut out for a little dimension and I added a strip of gold CS die cut with a Mama Elephant die from the landscape collection.

Ok, that’s all from me tonight, I am ‘stressing’ a little over the amount of things I still need to do for the February Release and Birthday celebrations. Be sure to keep an eye out on the blogs and social media for all the fun and GIVEAWAYS! We have our first product introduction tomorrow, so be sure to stop by both blogs for a closer look and inspiration 😉

Don’t forget that this set is 20% off this week HERE in store, for this week only. That’s all from me today, I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by today 🙂

Stamp Of The Week – English Country Garden Butterflies

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… English Country Garden – Butterflies

I also did a ‘Pin it, to WIN it’ HERE on Pinterest too 😉

Anyway, back to my SOTW card…

Well, I have no inspiration block this week using this clear stamp set 😉 Being one of my FAVES and a sucker for butterflies, the ideas just keep flowing. Seeing a perfect challenge adds to the fun too! This afternoon I saw the new Fusion Card Challenge HERE and seen below and immediately I knew what I wanted to do.

Out came the watercolour card a trio of SU! inks and my watercolour brush. This card was SO simple to make too. I literally stamped the butterflies in the trio of colours and did some quick, rough watercoloring over the image simply using the colour from the stamped image.

I fussy cut them out, added a touch of Wink Of Stella & adhered them to a panel of white CS which I have die cit using the Mama Elephant Landscape dies. This panel is then adhered to my card base using foam adhesive.

Ok, that’s all from me today, I’m tired this evening after a fun filled morning at a soft play & ball pit with the beans this morning and then a clingy bean due to teething this afternoon. His brother is currently serenading him to sleep!

Anyway, still lots to do for the February Release and Birthday celebrations. Be sure to keep an eye out on the blogs and social media for all the fun and GIVEAWAYS!

Stamp Of The Week – English Country Garden Butterflies

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… English Country Garden – Butterflies

I also did a ‘Pin it, to WIN it’ HERE on Pinterest yesterday too 😉

Anyway, back to my SOTW card…

A new challenge started over at CAS Colours & Sketches HERE today and our hostess this month Stef has kicked things off with a FAB cheerful colour combo…

Whilst I was creating my card that I have shared HERE, this idea popped into my head! What do you think? I started by stamping the butterfly in Melon Mambo then colouring with a light pink Copic marker in various places, which I then added a slight touch of Wink Of Stella to.

To stamp the 2 tone background using Pumpkin Pie I stamped the flower trio confetti from Balloon Bash twice before re-inking. I then repeated the process around the butterfly leaving a slight border. The sentiment is ANOTHER peek at one coming in the February Release 😉 Any guesses as to what the set might be about?!

Ok, that’s all from me today, I am not feeling so chirpy today, think I missed my not so little beans this afternoon. Strange how you look forward to some ‘me’ time and then when you get it I feel lost! Anyway, still lots to do for the February Release and Birthday celebrations. Be sure to keep an eye out on the blogs and social media for all the fun and GIVEAWAYS!

Stamp Of The Week – English Country Garden Butterflies

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… English Country Garden – Butterflies

If you missed it yesterday I have another fabulous & exciting opportunity for one of you. How would YOU like to be a Uniko Guest Stamp Designer? For all the details and to enter check out the post HERE.

Anyway, back to my SOTW card…

Today I decided to take 30+ minutes out to sit and colour the butterfly using a select few of my Copic Marker collection. I used to have nearly all of the Copic colours but as I don’t use them as much as I should I narrowed my colours down to just a select few. I thought it would be nice to join in on Kathy Racoon’s 30 Day Color Challenge, #thedailymarker30day over at Kathy’s blog The Daily Marker.

Along with the colouring challenge I decided to add in a couple more! First up the layout of my card is based on the new Freshly Made Sketches layout seen HERE and below and the new Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below.

The leaf and floral detail behind the butterfly is from Background Builders: Vines and the sentiment is another peek of one from a set being released next week! I’m still in love with my Wink Of Stella pen and though I was happy with my colouring, I decided to add a good dose of sparkle too 😉

Ok, that’s all from me today, I am still super busy in the Uniko Studio surrounded by a sea of photopolymer! Lots still to do for the February Release and Birthday celebrations. Be sure to keep an eye out on the blogs and social media for all the fun and GIVEAWAYS!

Stamp Of The Week – English Country Garden Butterflies

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… English Country Garden – Butterflies

With February comes the start of my excitement and countdown to the Uniko February Release AND Uniko’s 4th Birthday! Yesterday I kicked things off over HERE with a post that tells you how Uniko came to be, there is also a fun GIVEAWAY too 😉

Today I have another fabulous & exciting opportunity for one of you. How would YOU like to be a Uniko Guest Stamp Designer? For all the details and to enter check out the post HERE.

Anyway, back to my SOTW card…

For my card today I was inspired by a previous card I made using Beautiful Blooms II and Natures Treasures II, seen HERE and below. Having used the swirly leaves on yesterdays card it sparked the idea to CASE myself!

I kept the colours and the layout basically the same but switched the bloom for the butterfly and rearranged some of the swirls. The sentiment is an early sneak peek from the upcoming February Release 😉

With stamping the butterfly and not colouring it in I decided to add a sprinkling of glitter, perfect for the new challenge this week over at CASology HERE, who’s cue word is glitter.

Stamp Of The Week – Flower Power #2

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… Flower Power #2

Todays card was made straight after yesterdays SOTW card and so again, the colours of my card were inspired by the current Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below. I couldn’t resist playing along again as I do love a mix of Aqua and Pink 😉

This time I decided to focus upon the half blooms contained in the set and I also used one of the sentiments. The current CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below was perfect too.

I started by stamping the stems and staggering them so that the flowers wouldn’t all be in a straight line. The blooms were stamped and fussy cut with the outline ones adhered with foam adhesive. I almost got all of the striped on the leaves lined up as they go along the card, but I have only just noticed that now 😉

Ok, that’s all from me today, we have family coming this afternoon so I had better do a little hovering! I’ll be back tomorrow with more to share, but until then, thank you for stopping by today. Oh, and a little thank you to everyone who has ordered this weeks SOTW, it is now currently out of stock!

Stamp Of The Week – Flower Power #2

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… Flower Power #2

So much for an afternoon of creativity yesterday, I’ve been hit with ANOTHER cold 🙁 Seems to be the same every time we go back to playgroups after a break. Anyway, after an afternoon of rest instead and an early night the mojo and energy have returned this evening – YAY!

My card today mixes SOTW and a Uniko Challenge reminder. The current Uniko Challenge HERE is an ‘Anything Goes Challenge with an option of LOVE.

At first look my card appears to fit into the ‘Anything Goes’ category, but if you look closely I have used the LOVE sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments #5 and stamped it in VersaMark Dazzle ink on a diagonal across the white mat layer.

The colours of my card were inspired by the current Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below. I couldn’t resist playing along as I do love a mix of Aqua and Pink 😉

Ok, that’s all from me today, I’ll be back tomorrow with more to share, but until then, thank you for stopping by today.

Stamp Of The Week – Flower Power #2

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… Flower Power #2

For my card today I have combined 2 challenges, first up I have used the NEW CAS Colours & Sketches colours seen HERE and below. I then saw the NEW Freshly Made Sketches sketch seen HERE and below and instantly thought how perfect for using with Flower Power #2 😉

I set to ‘work’ by stamping the outline bloom in SU! Rose Red & So Saffron 3 times in each colour, then fussy cut them all out. I then placed them onto my white layer of CS before stamping another of the sentiments from Hero Arts Acts Of Kindness stamp set (loving the sentiments in this set).

Another super quick thank you/ kindness card ready to pop into the post! I’ve used the CC&S challenge colours HERE too, on my DT card, just if you are looking for a bit more inspiration today!

Ok, that’s all from me today, I have a bean free afternoon and I am going to make the most of it and have some inky crafting fun 🙂

I’ll be back tomorrow with more to share, but until then, thank you for stopping by today.
