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

Clear Stamps

This set is one of my all time favourite flowers, it is originally based on a cherry blossom. The set has recently come back in stock and so I decided I would dust it off and give it some more love.

This is how I decided to use it today…

2016SOTW62

As usual I was inspired by a challenge, the same as Tuesday! My colour combination is from the new ColourQ challenge colours seen HERE and below.

I recently purchased the SU! Sunshine Wishes dies as I just LOVE the heart die in the collection, which I have used on my card today. The layout of my card is a CASE of one I came across on Pinterest HERE.

2016SOTW62a

I was hoping to have shared this yesterday, but simply ran out of time, this week is going WAY to fast! I WILL be back tomorrow with more to share. Don’t forget that this set is discounted HERE on the website this week.

CLICK HERE to see more from Anita and leave some love 🙂

This is how I was inspired…

USC#33

Like Sarah G I was inspired to use Garlands Galore with tiny flowers from Background Builders: Vines and hearts from Flower Power #3. I was also inspired by a birthday card I received this year and have been wanting to ‘CASE’ it ever since. when I saw the inspiration photo that Nicki chose I knew the design would work.

USC#33a

In hindsight, the grey I used for the garland strings is a little dark and I wish I had used my  SU! Going Grey rather than PTI Smokey Shadow – never mind!

The other colours I used are VersaMagic Pink Grapefruit, Mango Madness and Oasis Green. The sentiment is from Simply Said.

The Uniko Design Team have done an awesome job and have created a wealth of inspiration HERE. Be sure to pop on over to the Uniko blogspot blog to find the links and also the linky to link up your creations!

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

BBtriangulatePP copy

Here’s todays card…

2016SOTW60

I was inspired by the new CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below. I opted for my usual ‘go to’ colours for a bright and modern card.

CTS_177

The sentiment is from Pure Florals: Cosmos and I added a few SU! It’s My Party enamel dots and to the Smokey Shadow outline triangles I added some Wink Of Stella.

2016SOTW60a

Ok, that’s all from me tonight, I feel like I am getting a cold 🙁 so an early ‘ish’ night is in order! 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 – Background Builders: Triangulate

Hey!

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

BBtriangulatePP copy

For todays card I decided to go for a more feminine card, to show that this set is also good for the girls too!

2016SOTW59

I was inspired by the new Freshly Made Sketch sketch seen HERE and below for the layout of my card. My colours were inspired by THIS tribal pin I had saved ages ago.

FMS Final 241-001

I used one of the longer building stamps to stamp the lower section of the white mat layer, stamping it seven times. I then used 4 SU! markers to randomly colour a selection of the triangles.

2016SOTW59a

The sentiment is a mix of All Occasion Sentiments #2 and Simply Said Birthday. I also stamped a trio of single triangles to accent the sentiment, which is adhered to the card using foam adhesive.

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.

Stamp Of The Week – Background Builders: Triangulate

Hey!

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

BBtriangulatePP copy

I’m FINALLY back this week dusting off another clear stamp set that is an awesome ‘go to’ set for those pesky men in our lives 😉

So, with Father’s Day this Sunday here in the UK, I set about making another card for the occasion. You can never have too many cards to choose from 😉

2016SOTW58

This time I went for the ColourQ challenge colours seen HERE and below. Another mix of colours I wouldn’t have chosen myself, but work really well together.

346

I started by masking off a section at the bottom of my card to stamp the liner triangles. I then worked out where my sentiment panel and navy strip of card would sit, so that I knew where to stamp my selection of single triangles. I wanted to keep that all important white space to keep it a CAS card.

2016SOTW58a

As it is CAS I thought I would enter my card into this weeks CASology challenge seen HERE, which this week is masculine.

Week 202 - Masculine

AND, I’m entering over HERE too at The Male Room, who’s current challenge is Father’s Day!

Challenge #37

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.

Stamp Of The Week – Background Builders: Triangulate

Hey!

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

BBtriangulatePP copy

I’m FINALLY back this week dusting off another clear stamp set that is an awesome ‘go to’ set for those pesky men in our lives 😉

Background Builders: Triangulate came about due to the geometric and tribal trends and was also a follow on set from Background Builders: Circles and Background Builders: Squared.

Anyway, I was browsing Pinterest and came across THIS card by Maile Belles. I loved the layout and simplicity of the design and I had to CASE it using these stamps.

DSC_0080E

This is my CASE…

2016SOTW57a

My colours were inspired by a NEW challenge I came across last week called The Heart Desires. Their current challenge HERE is an inspiration photo, with three options including a colour palette, seen below.

THD1

As you can see I opted for the geometrics and also the colours. I combined two sentiments with the triangles, All Occasion Sentiments #2 and Simply Said, creating another Father’s Day card.

2016SOTW57

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.

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

BBVinesPP

I’ve one last card to share using this weeks SOTW, I had planned on sharing more, but simply ran out of weekend. Mainly due to the piles of washing and ironing I have neglected the past couple of days. If I don’t do a little bit everyday it just gets WAY out of hand!

Anyway, enough of my rambling, this is one of the cards we made at my recent class at The Paperlane on Saturday…

2016SOTW40

I used one of the background building strips behind the double layered mini tag from Pretty Pink Posh, which is embellished with a partial stamped piece of a larger background building stamps from the set. I added a trio of tiny flowers and a sentiment from Simply Said and tied a bow of bakers twine to the tags. Once the tag was adhered to the card I added a trio of flowers adhered to the card using foam adhesive and some tiny rhinestones.

2016SOTW40aThat’s all from me today using this set, but I will be back tomorrow with more to share and another SOTW set. Don’t forget that this set is discounted in store HERE and will be back to normal price tomorrow.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today.

BBVinesPP

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

2016SOTW37

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.

2016SOTW37a

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.
