Stamp Of The Week – All Occasion Sentiments #3

Hey!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW). This week I am dusting off… All Occasion Sentiments #3

AllOccasionSentiment3PP

I’m back this week dusting off another clear stamp set that came back in stock recently and one which is a go to sentiment set for those quick CAS cards!

2016SOTW56

Again todays card is another quick CAS card, with the Easter break over the beans are back at playgroups and now I am full of cold AGAIN 🙁 which has meant not a lot of energy once they are in bed to create 🙁 I’m hoping this one will be short lived!

Anyway, enough of my woes, back card! As you can see I have paired it with the newly released Fun Flowers again.

2016SOTW56a

My colours were based on the new ColourQ challenge colours seen HERE and below. I love the soft Spring like pallet.

A little tip when using the Fun Flowers set it is easier to position and stamp/stack the flowers by starting with the smallest first and working up to the biggest.

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

Thanks for stopping by 🙂

AllOccasionSentiment3PP

I’m back this week dusting off another clear stamp set that came back in stock recently and one which is a go to sentiment set for those quick CAS cards! Tonights card was one of those…

2016SOTW55

With the April Release now available HERE to buy and the Design Team Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY HERE, I couldn’t resist using the Fun Flowers paired with the ‘Fabulous’ sentiment, one of my favourites in the set 😉

2016SOTW55a

My card is so simple, I literally stamped the ‘Fabulous’ sentiment in VersaMark ink and dusted it with gold embossing powder. Before I heat set any of the card design I repeated the process for each stamped flower. This way you can easily see the images you have stamped and the card won’t get over heated/warped multiple times.

Also I have found that when using the Fun Flowers set it is easier to position and stamp/stack the flowers by starting with the smallest first and working up to the biggest.

Short & sweet from me tonight, I have a couple more orders to pack ready to post tomorrow. It’s a good job the beans like their trip out in the pram everyday 😉

Anyway, I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Don’t forget that this set is discounted HERE on the website this week.

Stamp Of The Week – All Occasion Sentiments #2

Hey!

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

AllOccasionSentiments2PP

This is my last project this week featuring this set, I’ve had a lot of fun giving it so much inky love and paring it with other Uniko clear stamp sets. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as me?!

Anyway, I’m not 100% sure of this card, but I thought I would still share it with you…

2016SOTW7

My card layout was inspired by the current Freshly Made Sketches sketch seen HERE and below and I used the current CAS Colours & Sketches colours again seen HERE and below.

FMS Final 218-001

CC&S color155-001

I can’t decide if it is the lighter shade of grey I decided to use which is Soft Stone or if it is the stamped HAPPY background that makes me not *love* my card. However, I was told at University when studying for my degree in Textiles & Surface Pattern that just because you don’t *love* or *like* what you have created, there will be somewhere out there that does.

2016SOTW7a

OK, that’s all from me today, I will be back tomorrow with a NEW SOTW week set. Don’t forget that this set is 20% off this week HERE in store, for this week only. Plus we still have a CRAZY January Sale on for a limited time only, so be sure to grab a bargain while you can & retiring clear stamps or dies before they are gone for good.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today 🙂

Stamp Of The Week – All Occasion Sentiments #2

Hey!

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

AllOccasionSentiments2PP

Though I have mainly focused on masculine cards this week, I couldn’t resist making a masculine card to ‘match’ the floral feminine card I made HERE yesterday.

2016SOTW6

Creating the BG was so much fun and I wanted to test it out using the CAS Colours & Sketches colours seen HERE and below and I also wanted to pair the HAPPY sentiment with images from Nautical Treasures.

CC&S color155-001

As you can see my main focus colours are the Marina Mist & Smokey Slate, using only a hint of Pool Party with the bakers twine on the tag. I decided to create the same sized card as my floral version and used the same tag, even though the HAPPY sentiment didn’t quite fit I think that it gives a fun & interesting feature to the card.

2016SOTW6a

OK, that’s all from me today, I will be back tomorrow with the last instalment using this SOTW week set. Don’t forget that this set is 20% off this week HERE in store, for this week only. Plus we still have a CRAZY January Sale on for a limited time only, so be sure to grab a bargain while you can & retiring clear stamps or dies before they are gone for good.

Stamp Of The Week – All Occasion Sentiments #2

Hey!

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

AllOccasionSentiments2PP

I feel I have neglected the feminine cards this week with this set revisit, so today I went for pretty colours and flowers to accompany the ‘Hey!’ sentiment…

2016SOTW5

I started by stamping the Hey! in VersaMagic Pink Grapefruit ink, I then selected a SU! tag die to die cut the sentiment out. This in turn determined the overall size of my card which ended up being a 10.5cm square card.

2016SOTW5a

I knew I wanted to used a flower stamp on this card somewhere and so Flower Power #6 was inked as it was still on my desk 😉 This turned out well as I could then coordinated my randomly stamped BG on my base card using the matching tiny stamps from the popular Background Builders: Vines set, which I have reordered and will be back in stock over the next couple of weeks (along with 6 others).

The background was created by randomly stamping the tiny solid flower silhouette in VersaMagic Aquatic Splash ink then I stamped the tiny flower in VersaMagic Turquoise Gem twice in random places to create a dark and light shade of the flower.

It’s quite a ‘busy’ card for me with the stamped BG, but with keeping other embellishment and all the stamped images on white it still has a CAS look to it.

2016SOTW5b

As you can see I actually finished the card inside with a Happy Birthday sentiment from Simply Said Birthday which is in the same font as the Hey! I also added a trio of the flowers to accent it.

OK, that’s all from me today, I had better get some work done before these beans are awake! Don’t forget that this set is 20% off this week HERE in store. Plus we still have a CRAZY January Sale on for a limited time only, so be sure to grab a bargain while you can & retiring clear stamps or dies before they are gone for good.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today 🙂

Stamp Of The Week – All Occasion Sentiments #2

Hey!

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

AllOccasionSentiments2PP

Today I decided to focus on the large ‘birthday’ sentiment and wanted to create a colourful young masculine card, this is what I came up with…

2016SOTW4

I’d been looking at Papertrey Inks Make it Monday videos for technique inspiration and I came across THIS one by Lizzy Jones, which she calls Confetti Cluster Stamping. So I gave it a go using my favourite trio of colours adding in some light grey.

2016SOTW4a

I used 6 little stars from Essentially Christmas to stamp randomly inside the stars which I had drawn in pencil around my Sizzix Framelit Dies. Even though I have stamped quite a few of the stars in Raspberry Fizz I think this card still works for a masculine card. This is helped by using a neutral base card and added turquoise blue layer to matt the stamped focal panel.

I don’t think I have entered a card at The Male Room, if I have I’ve not done so for a very long time. Anyway, the current challenge HERE is a theme challenge which is ‘Anything Goes’, so I am entering my card over there.

Challenge #26

OK, that’s all from me today, I have a bean free day and LOTS to accomplish in my 9hrs!! Don’t forget that this set is 20% off this week HERE in store. Plus we still have a CRAZY January Sale on for a limited time only, so be sure to grab a bargain while you can & retiring clear stamps or dies before they are gone for good.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today 🙂

AllOccasionSentiments2PP

Todays card was made recently when I received a nice surprise on Christmas Day! I’d been such a good girl in 2015, that Santa brought me a Heidi Swapp Mini Minc Machine – YAY! Unfortunately the Mini Minc played up and stopped working completely so I had to send it back (via Santa), after waiting a few days I got an upgrade to a full size Minc Machine *GRIN*.

Anyway, I had to give it a test run and played with the usual freebies you get with it and then I remembered I have some foils I used a Uni, way back probably 5+ years ago. So up into the loft I went and I eventually dug them out and found a BEAUTIFUL multi coloured foil which resulted in this card…

2016SOTW3

As the ‘AWESOME’ is fairly small only 2 colours from the rainbow picked up. However I have a super CAS card HERE today which shows the full rainbow effect.

2016SOTW3a

Not to take too much shine away from the foiled sentiment & in keeping with the star for the ‘O’, I stamped the star background strips from Background Builders: Christmas in VersaMark ink onto a black panel of CS and then dusted Perfect Pearls over the stamping to make them shimmer & shine. This is a little more subtle than using heat embossing. The result a quick & simple card to congratulate someone on how awesome they are.

OK, that’s all from me today, don’t forget that this set is 20% off this week HERE in store. Plus we still have a CRAZY January Sale on for a limited time only, so be sure to grab a bargain while you can & retiring clear stamps or dies before they are gone for good.

Stamp Of The Week – All Occasion Sentiments #2

Hey!

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

AllOccasionSentiments2PP

I am pleased to have started the New Year on a HAPPY note 🙂 So much so that I can’t seem to stop using the large HAPPY contained in this weeks SOTW clear stamp set!

This set is perfect for those harder to create masculine cards and todays card is an example of a super CAS card suitable for both genders and all ages…

2016SOTW2

Another thing I am trying to do this year whilst creating, is to step away from my usual ‘go to’ colours and reach for those that I neglect. Like most crafters I have a HUGE selection of ink pads from different manufacturers and HUGE selection of card colours, but I always reach for the same ones and so before I buy more I am making myself use what I have.  I have done this on my card today, reaching for green and pairing it with a trio of yellow, purple and blue.

2016SOTW2a

On my card today I have paired the HAPPY with a trio of stars from Essentially Christmas and the BIRTHDAY from Simply Said Birthday. I added a trio of tiny rhinestones to the centre of the smallest star and adhered the stamped panel to my card base using foam adhesive.

OK, that’s enough waffle from me today, don’t forget that this set is 20% off this week HERE in store. Plus we still have a CRAZY January Sale on for a limited time only, so be sure to grab a bargain while you can & retiring clear stamps or dies before they are gone for good.

Stamp Of The Week – All Occasion Sentiments #2

Hey & Happy New Year!

Welcome back to the NEW feature here at Uniko, Stamp Of The Week (SOTW).

Basically each week I will be choosing a stamp set to dust off & give some inky love to.  I am open to requests of stamp sets to revisit, so if you have a request either leave a comment or drop me an email. Along with giving the set some love, the featured set is also discounted in store for that week.

This week I am dusting off… All Occasion Sentiments #2

AllOccasionSentiments2PP

Now, I have been busy behind the scenes over the Christmas Holiday period, preparing for ALL the exciting things 2016 😉 and getting ahead with things like SOTW. I realised with all the crazy in preparation for Christmas & my life with two 16 month old twin boys (the beans), life isn’t going to calm down anytime soon, so I needed to plan, organise and prepare myself – Lol! So, fingers crossed I theoretically shouldn’t get behind with things!

Anyway, here I am with my first card instalment for the first SOTW of 2016…

2016SOTW1

I chose this set as it is full of possibilities and perfect for creating cards to celebrate the New Year along with birthdays & general hello’s that *hopefully* you will see this week on the blog.

For my card I have paired the set with three other Uniko clear stamp sets, Background Builders: Christmas, Essentially Christmas & Garlands Galore. I love designing the clear stamps so that they can be mixed and matched together to create endless possibilities and give value for money 🙂

2016SOTW1a

I started out by using a Sizzix framelits star die to die cut the aperture out of my white CS panel. I then stamped the trio of liner stars down the edge before adding some glitter using a glue pen to the die cut star edges. The panel was temporarily adhered to the card base so that I could stamp the ‘HAPPY’ and then the New Year was stamped afterwards staring backwards with the ‘R’. Before I adhered the panel to the card base with foam adhesive I decided to add a few random stars stamped in the same VersaMagic Turquoise Gem ink as the ‘HAPPY’.

Hopefully this card will soon arrive at its destination and brought some cheer to one of my friends New Year. One of my resolutions this year is to send ‘more’ if not ALL of the cards I make in 2016. I am really bad at sending cards I make which is terrible for a card maker 🙁 so I WILL rectify this in 2016.

OK, that’s enough waffle from me today, don’t forget that this set is 20% off this week HERE in store. Plus we still have a CRAZY January Sale on for a limited time only, so be sure to grab a bargain while you can & retiring clear stamps or dies before they are gone for good.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today 🙂

Introducing… All Occasion Sentiments #6

Hey!

Yay! Now the real fun begins as today the DT and I get to introduce the first product being released on September 19th 🙂

Here is the sneak peek I shared earlier in case you missed it…

So the title of this set kinda gives it away really and you have an idea what’s in store, more larger sized sentiments that will take pride of place on your cards and projects.

How about a card to show you a little of what this set has in store & a BIG peek at another set being released!

Like all the All Occasion Sentiment sets, the sentiments are large enough to take centre stage on your cards / creations but also leave scope for added detail. Even though here in the UK we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, I went with an Autumnal colour scheme.

I started by stamping the large THANKS in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and flat coloured the letters in a selection of Copics. I then added some leaf detail to the panel using another set being introduced this week!

Like all crafters / stampers / card makers etc, I like to get the most out of my existing supplies, so when I designed the leaf stamps I designed them so they would work with a lot of previously released sets, as you will see later in the week. On this card I have used the smallest leaf from Flower Power #6 stamped in Memento Luxe Morocco ink.

Now I know the DT have some FABulous projects to share with you so be sure to hop along to their blogs and leave some love…
