The day is HERE! It's the Uniko Studio December Release & Reveal. Are you ready to see the NEW products that are NOW available to purchase on the Uniko website?!?!

All Occasion Sentiments #5 £4.95

www.unikostudio.co.uk

First up is All Occasion Sentiments #5. This series has been very popular and so it would have been rude not to have a LOVE themed set in the series! As you can see from the image above it features 8 stamps in lovely trendy & modern fonts. It is also suitable for other occasions such as weddings, engagements & anniversary cards as well as Valentine's Day. The size of the sentiments are perfectly sized to work with sentiments contained in the 4 preceding All Occasion Sentiment sets in the series.

Next we have another mini set called Always & Forever...

Always & Forever £4.95

www.unikostudio.co.uk

As you can see the set features two focal image hearts AND one of the hearts coordinates with the flower from the previously released & VERY popular Beautiful Blooms 1 clear stamp set. The set also contains an accent heart & variety of Love themed sentiments.

So what do you think?! Aren't they just FANTASTIC!! :D

Hearts, Hearts, Hearts.....I LOVE THEM! I've always been drawn to hearts, and I never get tired of using them on cards. So, I took full advantage of Uniko's awesome set, Always & Forever. I stamped both large heart images twice, in two different colors, fussy cut them, and popped them up with foam tape. The sentiment is stamped on white cardstock, cut out, silver Stickles added to the edge, and popped up. Finally, the bottom corners are rounded with a punch. That's it!

Couple more things you don't want to miss:

Don't forget to comment along the hop as one lucky commenter will win the entire release along with a little Christmas surprise! You have until midnight Friday, Dec 13th to comment for a chance to win & Beverley at Uniko Studio will announce the winner on the blog & the Facebook page.

One last little thing for all you Release Day Uniko Studio Fans:

Uniko Studio December Intro - Always & Forever

Welcome back for another product intro for Uniko Studio's December Release!

This stamp set is called "Always & Forever" and is another LOVE theme, which like yesterday's set can be used all year round for a variety of occasions and not just Valentine's Day. It also features a flower from a previously released & VERY popular set which will add SO many more possibilities.

I have another simple card to share with you today. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set, and wanted to feature the "love YOU" on this card. It is embossed with gold embossing powder and popped up with foam tape. I used one of the small sentiments and stamped it over and over to form a square frame around the heart. The last finishing touch is a bow using grosgrain ribbon :)

I'm so glad you stopped in today! Be sure to check out the other design team members' projects!!

Uniko Studio December Intro - All Occasion Sentiments #5

I'm SO happy you've stopped by today! Uniko Studio is in full swing and counting down the days to the December Release, which is the 11th at 9am GMT (3am Central), where both the products you've seen Sneak Peeks for and those being introduced today and tomorrow will be available for purchase HERE.

Today's introduction is #5 in the All Occasion Sentiment series. This set is all about LOVE but not just Valentine's. It'll work for occasions all year round!

One of my favorite color combos is kraft, red, and black. It seems to be popular with Valentine/Love themes, so I decided to use it on today's card.

It's a very simple, one layer CAS card. I started by stamping "LOVE" in the vertical center of the card, then stamped it again on either side. I did the same with the arrows, and the red hearts below. The arrow was taken from the Accent Essentials: Arrows stamp set---such a great match to use with this new set!! The red heart is from another December new release set (you'll see more tomorrow!). Finally, the small black heart is from the Flower Power #3 stamp set.

A few members of the Design Team also have projects to share with you today, along with the Guest Designer for December, Gillian from Made With Sparkle. For lots more peeks at this set and fabulous inspiration, be sure to visit the blogs listed below!

10 Minute Craft Dash #30 - Uniko Sponsored

Exciting news! Uniko Studio is sponsoring the 10 Minute Craft Dash over on Paulina's blog, Pretty Pink Posh! The colors for challenge #30 are just FAB, so I encourage you to visit the blog and check out the creations that the design team has created to inspire you to play along! :) Many of the Uniko Studio design team are also participating. There is a £15 Gift Certificate to the Uniko Studio online store up for grabs, so that's great motivation to join in, don't you think?!

This is my first time participating in this challenge. To be honest, I am THE SLOWEST card maker EVER!! So, it's very intimidating to do a challenge like this. But, I had an idea in mind, and it came together so well! I am REALLY loving this card.

I knew a one layer card would be the best option, haha. I started off by stamping the bottom row of circles, and worked my way up. After I was done stamping, I felt it still needed something, and there were a couple minutes left, so I added two gold sequins.

Phew! I made it under 10 minutes, thank goodness! :) Thanks for taking the time to stop by today. Have a great one!

Supplies: 
Stamps: Uniko Studio Beautiful Blooms I, All Occasion Sentiments #1, Round in Circles
Cardstock: PTI - White;
Ink: SU - Night of Navy, Rose Red, So Saffron
Other: Sequins

Uniko Studio Challenge #5

Hello all! Uniko Studio's Challenge #5 is now taking place over on the Uniko Studio blog! This month's challenge theme is Christmas or Winter Holiday, with Sparkles!! ;)

I had to use some of the NEWLY released Christmas stamps for this challenge! The card base is PTI Soft Stone. I stamped MERRY & BRIGHT on a white cardstock panel. Below, I added a strip of red stars, then silver xmas trees, then another strip of light blue stars. The stars have Stickles added to each one. The panel is adhered to a light blue piece of cardstock, some Soft Stone ribbon added, then I attached it to the card base with foam tape. For a final finishing touch, I added some silver Stickles to the edge of the blue cardstock. This just makes it totally POP and SPARKLE! LOVE IT! :)

What do you think?! Feedback is always welcomed ;) I really appreciate you coming by for a visit!!

You've got plenty of time to enter your project. December 14th is the deadline.

Uniko Studio *Favorite* Revisited Blog Hop

Welcome to the Uniko Studio November Revisited Blog Hop! If you are following along in order, then you should have arrived here from Gayatri's blog. If not, feel free to head over to the Uniko blog to start from the beginning!

This month, Beverley asked all the design team members to choose their FAVORITE Uniko stamp or die set to feature on their blog. It was a tough choice (because there are so many Fabulous ones!), but I ultimately decided on Background Builders: Chevrons. Make sure to read through the end of this post for details on how you can win the stamp set!!

My hubby's birthday is coming up, so I thought it was appropriate to make a birthday card. I stamped 3 of the chevrons in 3 colors creating a repeating pattern for the "present". It is adhered to a dark blue panel and attached to the base with foam tape. The bow is from the Label Love: Birthday stamp set. The stars are taken from the All Occasion Sentiments #2 set...from the word "Awesome", fussy cut and adhered with foam tape.

One of my favorite parts of this card is the stamped background pattern on the card base. I used the same 3 ink colors as the present, and carefully and randomly stamped the "HAPPY" and the "BIRTHDAY" to create the look of patterned paper. I felt that it was a little too bold, so to soften the look of it, I cut a piece of vellum the same size as the cardstock base and adhered it with vellum tape. I really love the way it looks ;) What do you think?!

I'm so glad you came by to check out my creation. You will DEFINITELY want to continue the hop to see the design team's awesome work! Beverley is extremely generous this month and will be giving away one of EACH of the DT favorites...so that totals TEN winners! How incredible is that?!?! All you need to do for a chance to win is leave a comment on each of the blogs below by Thurs, Nov 14th. The winner for the Background Builders: Chevron stamp set will be announced here on my blog on Friday, Nov 15th (the winners for the other prizes will also be announced on their respective blogs).

Uniko Studio Design Team Inspiration...

Hey all! Today I have a Design Team Inspiration post over on the Uniko Studio blog, so be sure to check it out....

Uniko Studio October Release!!

Hello and welcome to the Uniko Studio October Release day! I've got a really fun snowflake card to share with you!

The new Snowflake dies are INCREDIBLE!! I've done something a little different here. I layered the smallest snowflake die (black) BEHIND the middle-sized grey snowflake. You can see the black peeking through (click on the photo to get a better look)! Then, the red snowflake is layered behind the others. It's all popped up with foam tape for dimension, and a few red stickles were added to the points of the snowflake. Super easy CAS card!

All the stamps and dies that have been introduced this week are NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON THE UNIKO WEBSITE!!

Simply comment along the hop to be in the chance of winning the ENTIRE release. (If you win & have already purchased the release a full refund will be given). You have until Thursday, October 31st to comment & the winner will be announced on the Uniko blog & Facebook page.

Uniko Studio Intro...Jolly Christmas

I'm excited to share another card I've made for the Uniko Studio October Release! During the past few days, Beverley and a few of the Design Team members have been introducing the new stamp sets that are scheduled to be released this coming Saturday, Oct 26th (that's when you'll be able to purchase the new sets on the Uniko website!).

Today's introduction is Jolly Christmas. This set is simple and whimsical. Here's what I've created.

The Christmas tree is stamped repeatedly using variegated colors of green, and of course, the red one which takes center stage. Using black ink, I stamped the sentiment inside 3 of the trees, reading vertically. A yellow star with gold stickles is popped up for dimension.

Make sure to stop on over at the Uniko Studio blog to see Beverley's beautiful creations, along with some of the other design team members as well.

Uniko Studio Intro...Peace on Earth

I'm excited to share a card I've made for the Uniko Studio October Release! During the past couple days, Beverley and a few of the Design Team members have been introducing the new stamp sets that are scheduled to be released this coming Saturday, Oct 26th (that's when you'll be able to purchase the new sets on the Uniko website!).

Today's introduction is Peace on Earth. This set is very simple, but elegant. Here's what I've created.

The red cardstock base is stamped with white pigment ink around the edge, creating a border. The doves are glistening with Stickles - I just love the look of that! The die cut edge is inked with Cherry Cobbler ink, and adhered using foam tape.

Make sure to stop on over at the Uniko Studio blog to see Beverley's beautiful creations, along with some of the other design team members as well.

Uniko Studio Challenge #4 - Fall Foliage

Hello all! Uniko Studio's Challenge #4 is now taking place over on the Uniko Studio blog! To celebrate the change of seasons and the beautiful scenery, we are focusing on Fall Foliage.

I knew immediately what stamp set I wanted to use when I found out what this challenge theme was. Nature's Treasure I is PERFECT for this challenge!!

I really enjoyed making this card. I feel that I stepped outside my comfort zone a little bit and made something different than my usual style. I played around with some distress inks (also used regular pigment inks as well), and wanted to make the leaves look like real fall leaves with the changing colors. Using a Tim Holtz ink blender, I applied the ink to the stamp, all while trying to blend the colors where they meet.

The thank you sentiment is stamped onto a piece of vellum and adhered using vellum tape. A few gold and amber sequins and brown rhinestones give it a glistening final touch.

I'm also entering this into the Color Media Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on my card. I really appreciate you coming by for a visit!!

You've got plenty of time to enter your project. November 14th is the deadline.

The Prizes:

• A £10 Gift Certificate to the Winner & a Guest Design Team spot on the blog for the next challenge

Moxie Fab World: All That Glitters is Gold

I haven't jumped on the Gold bandwagon much lately, but I decided to use it in this anniversary card for my husband. I'm entering it in the All That Glitters is Gold Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

I've incorporated gold in several ways. The two outside hearts are embossed with gold ep (the middle one is red, glittery ep). The edge of the card front has a strip of gold, glittery cardstock. My favorite part is the stitching. I used gold embroidery floss along with the Sew Easy tool to stitch a zigzag pattern over the part where the card base and the gold strip meet. I think it gives the card that extra special touch ;)

Thanks for stopping in for a visit!

Supplies
Stamps: PTI - Heart-2-Heart #3; Uniko Studio - Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum

Papertrey September Blog Hop Challenge

I've got a card to share with you for this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. The theme is Wreaths, and I experimented a little and came up with something a little different for mine ;) I would love to hear your opinions on this creation!

So for the base of the wreath, I first cut out a ring using two Spellbinders circle dies and cardstock. Then, I wrapped PTI Raspberry Fizz Satin Ribbon around the ring, on a slight angle so that it overlaps each other and the cardstock cannot be seen. It was adhered to the card base using Score Tape.

The flowers are from Mini Blooms, and three of them I embossed using gold embossing powder (they look a little green in the photo). They were also attached using Score Tape (LOVE that stuff!).

I added some gold trim at the top...not sure if I like it. What do you think?? I felt like it needed something. Maybe a gold bow would have worked better...

***I am also entering this in the Moxie Fab World: All That Glitters is Gold Challenge!***

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at my card!!

Supplies
Stamps: PTI - Mini Blooms
Cardstock: PTI - Rustic White
Ink: Stampin' Up! - Night of Navy, Pink Passion, Mellow Moss
Other: PTI Mini Bloom dies; Gold embossing powder; Gold trim (Michael's), Raspberry Fizz Ribbon-PTI

Uniko Studio Challenge #3 - Washi Tape

Hello all! I'm popping in real quick today to let you know that the next challenge is now taking place over on the Uniko Studio blog! This time it's all about Washi Tape! Now, you can either use real Washi Tape on your project, or use Uniko's Washi Tape stamp set, or the Xmas Washi set!

Here is my take on the challenge. I used Wonderful Washi and stamped on vellum. Then fussy cut the pieces and adhered to the card base. Next, I die-cut the Graphic Flowers for the center. Adhered using foam tape, and finished off with a clear rhinestone in the center!! Hope I've inspired you to create something for this challenge!

You've got plenty of time to enter your project...October 14th is the deadline.

The Prizes:

• A £10 Gift Certificate to the Winner & Guest Design Team spot on the blog for the next challenge
• Top Three Spotlight

Supplies: 
Stamps: Uniko Studio - Wonderful Washi
Cardstock: PTI - Rustic White; SU - Not Quite Navy 
Ink: SU - Not Quite Navy, Sage Shadow, Lavender Lace 
Other: Die - Uniko Studio Graphic Flowers, Foam Tape, Vellum, Rhinestone

Uniko Studio Blog Hop - Flower Power

Hey all! It's time for Uniko Studio's next Revisited Blog Hop! This month is all about Flower Power. I used Flower Power #1 to make a CAS card. Check it out.

The white cardstock base is stamped randomly with yellow ink using the solid flower. The outlined flower is also stamped randomly with black ink. The sentiment is stamped onto a separate piece of white cardstock and adhered using foam tape. Before adhering that, I created a grid pattern with a ruler and black marker on the bottom of the card base. This would be a fun card set to make as a gift. You could swap out the yellow with some other bright colors for a nice variety ;)

I have also entered this into the current Runway Inspired Challenge - #43. See the inspiration image below.

So glad you came by for a visit! Be sure to visit and comment on all the design team members' blogs because Beverley from Uniko is giving away ALL 3 Flower Power series stamp sets!! You have until midnight September 14th to comment to be eligible to win! The lucky winner will be announced on the Uniko blog September 15th. Enjoy the fabulous inspiration along the hop!

Celebrating Bev - A Bridal Blog Hop!

Today's post is very special :) The Uniko Studio Design Team has put together a Surprise Bridal Blog Hop honoring Beverley. Her wedding is just days away, and we want to show our support of her super special day!

Beverley - I wish you so much joy as you celebrate the love and commitment between you and your fiance! I know just how special this time is for you, and I hope everything goes perfect, and that you will create memories that you will remember FOREVER!!! Sending all my love, Nicki :)

Ok, onto the card! I used the Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum clear stamp set as the main focus of this card. The large flower is embossed using white embossing powder. I colored it with Prismacolor pencils--two shades of teal. The flower and leaves were both cut using Uniko's awesome new dies!! The flower is popped up with foam dimensionals.

The background pattern was created using Background Basics: Lattice, with white ink. With the addition of the sentiment flag and the sequins and pearls, the card is complete! I think this is one of my favorite cards EVER. :)

Be sure to visit the Uniko Studio blog and send your well wishes to Beverley as she quickly approaches her special wedding day! Then, get hopping along to the design team members' blogs to see their absolutely FABULOUS creations!!!

Uniko Studio Design Team Inspiration

Hello! Today I have a special project to share with you for Uniko Studio!
I stamped onto patterned paper...a very neat technique. To see the full project and how I did it, check out the Uniko Studio Blog.

Uniko Studio Super Free Saturday!

Happy Saturday my lovely followers! It's time for another Uniko Studio Super Free Saturday! If you are not familiar with SFS, let me explain. Bev over at Uniko, has designed a great digital freebie for anyone to download! Just visit the WEBSITE, and you'll see the details there. Print it on your home printer, and then CREATE with one or more of the elements in the download. The possibilities really are endless!!

I decided to incorporate elements from the SFS digital file, and a couple stamp sets.

You can see that I used the green panel, and tilted it on an angle. I cut out two pieces from other elements in the free digital download--the flower cluster in the white panel, and the top part of the red/white polka dot panel. I adhered the polka dot piece right on top of the green panel, and the flower is raised with foam tape. The entire green panel is also adhered using foam tape.

I used the "thank you" sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments #3. I masked off the "you" and "thank" separately so I could make the sentiment on two lines, instead of one.

The polka dots and the circles stamped on the card base are from Background Builders: Round in Circles (one of my fav Uniko sets!!).

I hope I've inspired you to CREATE!! Be sure to also check out the Uniko Studio Blog, where Bev has some more projects to share using the SFS download, as well as other design team members!

Supplies:

Stamps/Artwork: Uniko Studio - Funky Florals SFS, All Occasion Sentiments #3, Background Builders: Round in Circles

Uniko Studio August Release Day!

I hope you're as excited as I am about the new release from Uniko Studio!! Today is officially the day where all the latest stamp and die sets are fully revealed and are available for purchase over at the Uniko Studio website!

Check out the sets below...

 

 I'm also excited to share this card with you! I just love how it turned out. The color combination is one I don't think I've ever used before.

The base of the card was stamped repeatedly to create a pattern using Background Builder: Flower Power. I am very pleasantly surprised, being the perfectionist that I am, that it was SOOOO easy to use these stamps to create a background! They really are pretty easy to line up over and over again to create a look that appears to be patterned paper!!

The rest of the card was stamped with images from the Flower Power #3 set. The pink flower is cut out and popped up with foam tape. I just love the little hearts in this set! It was a perfect finishing touch for this wedding card :)

I hope I have inspired you today to go and create something pretty ;) Oh, and of course to visit the Uniko website and take a look at all the wonderful stamp sets and dies they have to offer!!!

For more inspiration, don't forget to join in on the design team blog hop!! Simply comment along the hop to be in the chance of winning the ENTIRE release plus the Time clear stamp set. (If you win & have already purchased the release a full refund will be given. If you already own the Time set a gift certificate for the same price will be given). You have until Wednesday, August 14th to comment & the winner will be announced on the Uniko blog & Facebook page.

Uniko Studio August Release Intro - All Occasion Sentiments #3

Welcome back to another intro of the Uniko Studio August release! Once again, Bev over at Uniko has created an awesome set of large sentiments.

Here is my one layer card. I chose three shades of purple and combined one of the sentiments with the Beautiful Blooms set. If you look closely, I had to mask out some sections. This is the first time I've tried masking in this way, and I think it's a neat effect, but I think I could use a little more practice ;)

Uniko Studio August Release Intro - Background Builders: Flower Power

Good morning! Hope you are all having a great week!

I'm excited to share with you my first project for the Uniko Studio August Release. It's a Background Builder set called Flower Power. This will coordinate with many of the Flower Power sets, or you can use it by itself for a beautiful effect! (like I've done below)

It's a pretty simple card really. I used two of the stamps from the set and alternated them using silver embossing powder. I just LOVE the pattern it created! Before embossing, I die cut the scalloped shape (a NEW die cut set you'll see later in the week!) from the black cardstock. I layered some patterned paper underneath, stamped the sentiment multiple times, and added a few rhinestones for added interest!!

You will definitely want to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to see what gorgeous creations they have whipped up!!
