Hello!

Today I'm sharing a couple of sneak peeks at the two clear stamp sets Uniko is releasing TOMORROW for the June release! Check them out...

This first sneak peek gives it away really! Elements of the set have been designed for some time now, some even since Bev's early years at University. It is also a follow on / addition to the previously released and popular Paradise - Hummingbird clear stamp set.

The second mini set being released this month follows the tropical theme and trend, it is a perfect add on set to the two mentioned above for even more possibilities!

Below I have outlined the release schedule & there are a couple of changes this month...

Honey Bee Stamps - Bless You

Hello there crafty friends! I hope you’ve been enjoying this fun week celebrating the Honey Bee 1st Birthday! Make sure to hop along and leave comments on the DT blogs for a chance to win some awesome prizes!

Today I’m sharing a card that uses stamps from two new sets that are being revealed this week, Bless Your Heart and Country Wreath. The flowers were first heat embossed with gold embossing powder on watercolor paper. Then I water colored them with Distress Inks: Peacock Feathers, Squeezed Lemonade, and Abandoned Coral. I fussy cut each one and layered them on the card base. The textured stripes on the bottom of the card were dry embossed with an embossing folder, then a piece of twine wrapped around it then adhered to the card base.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a great rest of your week! Happy crafting :)

This first sneak peek will be not be hard to guess for those who saw Uniko's recent publication in Simply Cards & Papercrafts which Beverley from Uniko shared HERE. She has tweaked and expanded the digital stamp to create a yummy mini clear stamp set ;)

Next up is a FUN flower building set with a 'nod' towards the doodle trend. This mini set has SO many possibilities and lends itself to a number of techniques. It is also fun to color too ;)

Honey Bee Stamps - Another Sneak Peek!

Hello there! I'm here today with a one-layer card using a few of the new Honey Bee stamp sets that will be released in just a couple weeks!!

I started by die cutting a circle out of masking paper. After attaching that to the card base, I blended two distress inks, Evergreen Bough and Shaded Lilac, to create the solid circle as the background for the other elements.

The masking paper was removed and then I used the MISTI tool to line up the “you are such a blessing” sentiment exactly where I wanted it. Then, I added some leaves and accents around the edge of the circle. A handful of Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins were added for the finishing touch!

So glad you stopped by today!

Sneak Peek - Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Friday everyone! It's a special day today because I've got a sneak peek of just some of the new Honey Bee Stamps that are being released very soon! :D

I've created this birthday card using an awesome new sentiment set and a wreath set that has lots of options for different occasions. This is a simple one layer card. The wreath was created by first stamping the light brown wreath, then the dark brown bow. Then, I stamped each cluster of flowers and leaves until the wreath looked full! Pretty simple and easy! There are endless combinations that can be created with the wreath set.
I hope I've inspired you, and hope you can squeeze some crafty time in today!
