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

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:

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.
