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!!

Uniko Studio June Release Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to another FUN blog hop to celebrate Uniko Studio's June Product Release!! In case you're wondering, the full June product release was on June 11th, and the blog hop was postponed until now to give the design team some time to work on their projects since many were having some much deserved vacation time with family!! If you'd like to see Beverley's blog post with all the new products, check it out here!

I'll keep this short and sweet so you can continue on to the rest of the DT blogs! Enjoy the creations! All supplies are listed at the end of the post.

I'm entering both birthday cards into the CAS-ual Fridays CFC:107 challenge - Hunger Games (projects with arrows).
The orange, yellow, and green flower bday card is being entered into the Moxie Fab World: Tuesday Trigger: Scene in Tangerine! I was inspired by the colors of the inspiration photo :)

colourQ Challenge #192

I have several Father's Day cards that I'll need this year, so I thought I'd join in on a challenge and get started on them.

This is my first time participating in the colourQ challenge! I really love the color combo this week, and it's perfect for a Father's Day card!

Here's what I came up with. I created the sentiment in Adobe Illustrator and printed it on white cardstock. The patterned paper is die cut so the sentiment shows through. The arrow stamp is from the Square Prints Papertrey Ink stamp set by Maile Belles. The sentiment panel is popped up with foam tape, and a button with twine finishes it off!

Thanks for stopping by....I'd love to hear your feedback on my creation!

Supplies
Stamps: PTI - Square Prints
Cardstock: PTI - White; Stampin' Up! - Certainly Celery
Patterned Paper: MME - Moments
Ink: Stampin' Up! - Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze; TH Distress Ink - Tumbled Glass, Pumice Stone
Other: Spellbinders Circle die, PTI White Button, Divine Twine, Foam Dimensionals
