The Tropical trend is still HOT at the moment and Bev just had to jump on the band wagon and put her take on the trend out there!

Firstly, I'd like to introduce you to Bob, Bob the Toucan! Bob was originally drawn way back in 2007/2008 while Bev was at Uni, the jungle/tropical trend was evident back then too ;)

Bev has added in fun, graphical modern styled Hibiscus flowers to compliment the paradise theme, which also work perfectly with the previously released Paradise Hummingbird set.

Lastly, we have a lovely mini complimentary set called Paradise Leaves. This is not only a FAB add on set to the two mentioned above, but is also FUN on it's own.

Uniko April Release & Blog Hop!

Good morning!

It's that time again for another NEW RELEASE from UNIKO!! There are 2 BRAND NEW stamp sets being released today, and they are AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE on the Uniko website! YAY!

So let's get started by revealing the 2 new additions to the Uniko line up...

This first set explains itself really, it is a fun cupcake building set suitable for all those occasions which are worth celebrating with cake! 

Next up we have a FUN on trend flower building mini clear stamp set...

Fun Flowers £4.00 - £4.95

This set is what the title of it says, FUN! With the popularity of 'doodle' styled images and colouring books, this set provides the images to achieve those things on your creations AND so much more.

I have a fun one layer card to share. Lately I've been loving the bold look of distress inks and markers, so I decided to start by blending 4 different distress inks over part of the card base. Then, I stamped the flowers in black over most of the blended color so it showed through the images. LOVE that look! The sentiment is also stamped in black. The end result completely reminds me of a Retro 80's theme, right?! Or wait, is it 70's?? Not sure, but I definitely didn't have that in mind as I was creating!!

As tradition holds, we have our release day blog hop, simply visit & comment along the hop by midnight BST Sunday, April 17th, 2016 for your chance to win the ENTIRE Release AND a £10 eGift Certificate to spend in store! If you have already purchased any or all of the release, a refund will be given.

Both the new products are available HERE now to purchase. Bev at Uniko has increased the stock levels this month, so fingers crossed no one will miss out.

So, let's see what the rest of the Design Team have created...

Uniko September Reveal, Release & Giveaway!

Woop Woop! The day is finally here...the 3 BRAND NEW stamp sets being released today are NOW AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE on the Uniko website! YAY!

If you've been commenting on the posts the past few days (since the Sneak Peeks), you might want to check HERE to see if you are a mystery prize winner! 

Here it is! The full reveal of the September Release! Enjoy!

All Occasion Sentiments #6 £4.95

As per customer request, the next addition to the All Occasion Sentiment series is here! Although Thanksgiving is not celebrated in the UK, Bev opted for an Autumnal kind of feel to the set with the large outlined THANKS and added in a few other popular sentiments.

Background Builders: Triangulate £9.95

Geometrics and tribal patterns are still a huge trend within the paper crafting industry, so Bev started designing and created her own version, Triangulate. This set is very similar to the previously released Background Builders: Round In Circles and Background Builders: Squared, adding more stamping mix and match possibilities.

Natures Treasures II £4.95

Last up we have Natures Treasures II, the next in the series with a variety of leaves and foliage. This addition to the Natures Treasures series came about as Bev LOVES to add leaves to a cluster of flowers on a CAS card. She also LOVES making her supplies and stamps stretch without breaking the bank! 

This set has a nifty feature in that the single leaves from Beautiful Blooms II and Flower Power #6 coordinate with the larger leaves in this set for EVEN MORE possibilities.

Ready to see my card?! Here I've used All Occasion Sentiments #6 and Triangulate sets. I wanted to stamp the triangles in a pattern that looks like confetti falling. I chose a masculine color palette and will be giving this to my hubby for his birthday in a couple months ;) The "36" are dies from Top Dog Dies. I die cut white card stock and inked it up with one of the coordinating triangle colors.

That's all from me, but as tradition holds we have our release day blog hop. Simply visit and comment along the hop by midnight Saturday, September 26th to be in the chance of winning the ENTIRE release! If you have already purchased any or all of the release a refund will be given.

So, let's see what Bev and the rest of the AWESOME Design Team have created...

Uniko Studio February Release & Blog Hop!

Good morning stampers! It's already time for a new release from Uniko Studio! I am showcasing two stamp sets today. The first is called Label Love: Birthday, and whatdya know, it's Uniko's first birthday today. The second is called Bright Butterflies. Make sure to read all the way down to the end of the post to find out how to enter for a chance to win the ENTIRE February 2013 Release! WOO!

The first card above is pretty self-explanatory. The second one uses both the solid and the polka dotted balloons. I stamped the kraft colored balloons first, leaving the bottom portion of the balloon cut off. Then the polka dotted ones were stamped on top. I wanted to just create a fun pattern that didn't necessarily look like balloons, and with the colors I used, it turned out kinda looking like Easter eggs, LOL! Oh well, I still like it. The top cardstock panel is popped up with dimensionals and a small strip of patterned paper is peeking out at the bottom.

The butterflies are heat embossed with white EP, and then I inked a sponge with teal ink and applied it to the white cardstock, leaving it to fade slightly at the bottom so the sentiment could pop on the white background. I added small black rhinestones on either side of the sentiment.

Along with the two clear stamp sets being released this month, there are FOUR new digital paper collections available as well! They include: Big Birthday Wishes, Bright Butterflies Additions collection, Classics Spring, and Eclectic Mix Spring. See the images below!

I hope you enjoyed my samples using the new goodies ;) Now, on to the details of the giveaway. All you need to do is participate in the Blog Hop and leave a comment on the designers' blogs! That means you have up to TEN chances to enter! So hop on over to the Uniko Studio blog if you are just starting out, or continue onto Ren-Yi's blog if you've already started the hop.

Uniko Studio November Release & Reveal

Hello everyone! It's time for the Uniko Studio November Release & Reveal! There are a whopping 16 new projects being released today, and you'll definitely want to check them out! A new feature being added during this release are Digital Cut Files for your digital diecut machine. This month's release is all about Christmas and Winter. There are really a lot of fun digital papers to choose from--you'll see I used a variety of them on my cards below. To see the other design team members' projects, visit the Uniko Studio Blog for the links to their blogs.

**Make sure to read all the way to the end of this post. There is info on how to earn a chance to win some free goodies :)

Papers used from the Classics Christmas pack and 'Tis the Season

Papers used from the Eclectic Mix Christmas pack. Thank You clear stamps from the Label Love: Thank You set.

Paper used from the Eclectic Mix Christmas pack, and the Holly Jolly was cut from the paper in the 'Tis the Season pack.

TIP: If you are new to using Digital Files to create cards, I want to share something that I learned works well. I am very new myself and this time around I printed the patterned paper files on the color laser printer at work on regular printer paper. Then, depending on how I was going to use them, I either cut out the paper and attached to the cardstock like I would regular patterned paper you buy at the store. Or when using diecuts, I first adhered the paper to a piece of cardstock to give it more stability, then diecut it together. That resulted in a perfect diecut piece!!

This is only a small sample of all the wonderful things included in the UNIKO STUDIO NOVEMBER RELEASE!! Head over to the Uniko website to see everthing. Make sure to also visit the Uniko Blog for a chance to win Label Love: Christmas and ALL the Digital Products released this month!!
