Uniko - Reveal, Release & GIVEAWAY September 2017

Hi there and thanks for visiting me again today!
So you've had the Sneaky Peeks and Introductions and now we have the BIG Reveal, Release and GIVEAWAY of this month's new stamp sets from Uniko
Here's my cards showcasing the new sets and they are now available in the shop HERE and waiting for you to buy! As I said I'm having a rainbow frenzy so here's the finale with a riot of rainbow colours! Grab your sunglasses ...
These first 2 use star images from the BG Builders: Seeing Stars set; the first one coloured with Promarkers and the second one stamped with Altenew Inks. I've also added sentiments from the Simply Said Block set and teamed them with my latest favourite word die from Neat & Tangled. 

Over at Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge it's a 'Stamp-it' theme so this one is heading over there - I've certainly filled every little bit of the card front with stamping so hope they appreciate it over there! 

Next up a double stamped panel of the Background Block: stars, coloured in rainbow theme again with Promarkers. The bold sentiments on the strip of white cardstock are from older sets: All Occasion Sentiments #2 and Simply Said Birthday. The wide strip gives the impression that the block is bigger than it actually is ... just a little neat trick I think! 

... and last but not least we are back with the Background Block - Scattered Polka Dots from the beginning of the week. Inked using Altenew Inks, in Rainbow order, with a Birthday sentiment from the Simply Said Blocks. I've gone with balloons instead of stars for a real party card and these are from the older 'Balloon Bash' set.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my creations with these new sets this week and all that's left for me to do is set you off on the traditional Design Team Blog Hop , wishing you lots of luck. 

All the details are over on the Uniko blog HERE so if you get lost along the way just head back there and here's the order.

Uniko - Reveal, Release & GIVEAWAY May 2017

Hi there and thanks for visiting me again today!
So you've had the Sneaky Peeks and Introductions and now we have the BIG Reveal, Release and GIVEAWAY of this month's new stamp sets from Uniko
Here's my cards showcasing these fabulous sets and they are now available in the shop HERE and waiting for you to buy!

This one is similar to my previous card using Happy Succulent in rainbow colours but here I've used the Kuretake Gansai water colours to create a deeper and more dramatic colour way! 

... and another one featuring the Happy Succulent set, this time watercoloured using Distress Inks

Here the Doodle Flower block background is watercoloured with Kuretake Zig Clear Brush markers. A popped up, fuzzy cut, embossed sentiment from the All Occasion Sentiments #1 set finishes this one.

I hope you've enjoyed the inspiration this week and are full of ideas of how to use these new goodies. 

All that's left for me to do is set you off on the traditional Design Team Blog Hop and wish you luck.

Uniko Reveal, Release and Blog Hop - November 2016

It's here! Time to announce the full reveal, release and traditional blog hop for the November 2016 release of Christmas stamp sets from
Uniko
I'm sure you'll agree these are all stunning and work perfectly  either stand-alone or combined with previously releases sets.
They're full of stylish Christmas images and the most gorgeous swirly sentiments to mix and match with standard text too.

I love creating backgrounds for cards using all those mini stamp images 

that get forgotten about so on these first 3 I've teamed the new sets 

with images from previously released sets too: 

BG Builders Vines - Winter Addition and Label Love: Christmas 

in traditional and non-traditional colours!

and another one for the Rustic Wreath gallery ... loving this 

colourway for Christmas this year!

I'd like to add this one to the TimeOut Challenge this week 

where it's a Christmas theme with the option of shimmer, glitter.

I've used some sparkling sequins so hope they count!

Here's the order for the hop

quick Christmas makes!

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the HOP!

Uniko - Reveal, Release & Blog Hop - October 2016

Whoopie! It's here!
Uniko October Release
Here's my release day takes with the new sets and don't forget to hop along to the Uniko blog HERE for links to my fellow teamies who've worked their magic with the set too!

First up a shaker card using the centre circle of the largest image from Marvellous Mendhi which is filled with gold seed beads. The 'Celebrate' Sentiment is from a previously released All Occasion  Sentiments set and the 'Your Day' is from the new Simply Said II

This one uses the Christmas Foliage set and I've sneaked a 'Happy' greeting

and gold mini foliage stamp from the 'Essentially Christmas' set which

was released in time for Christmas last year. The 'Christmas' greeting is

from the Simply Said II set - released today!

This week at Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge it's

Anything Goes so I'm heading across there with this one.

... and a couple more using the Originally Organic set and if you don't 

like colouring then these images work just as well using the outlines only.

For this first one I watercoloured with distress inks to create my background then

spritzed with water and perfect pearls before adding the outline stamps using

Versafine Onyx Black ink and a sentiment from the new Simply Said II

With this one I stamped the images first using Versamark ink then heat embossed

in Silver Pearl EP by wow then added brushos with water over the top followed

by the 'bleaching' technique with water to remove the pigment from the buds,

leaves and petals. This time I sneaked in a sentiment from the 

Paradise: Hummingbird set.

I hope you feel inspired and will be heading straight to the Uniko shop to buy! Before that you might want to join our traditional Release Day  Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY! Here's the order and if you get lost just head to the Uniko blog HERE where you'll find all the links too.

Uniko Reveal, Release and GIVEAWAY - June 2016

Hi there friends, I'm back with the 'delayed' DT Reveal, Release  and Blog hop following the June release of stamp sets from  Uniko
There were 2 sets released earlier this month and there's been a few sneaky peeks over the last few weeks but here's mine followed by the images you'll need if you'd like to purchase the sets from HERE
Ok so super-girlie here in pink ...
This one uses images from both sets (Paradise & Paradise Leaves) which I've used to create a background. There are some tone on tone outline images to the plain stitched rectangle but not sure it's obvious  in the photograph. The sentiment is from the Paradise set and I've fussy cut one of the hibiscus and added some glossy accents for a little shine.

Yep I've gone a bit crazy here colouring Bob the Toucan and decided to 

make my Dad a father's day card. My thinking is it's my Dad sitting superior 

above all those other toucans! Hahahaha!

The sentiment is actually from a Paper Smooches set but thought it worked

well with the images. The 'bills / beaks' are coloured with Zig Clear Brush pens

and the leaves with Promarkers. I also added a little black spot with a

Promarker and and added some glossy accents for highlights.

Ooops perhaps I should show you the stamp sets here and then a few more examples.

Next up a mass-produced trio of tropical fun!

My inspiration came from THIS card by Yana Smakula

I love watching her You Tube tutorials and she makes lots of backgrounds 

using her stamps and typically on an A4 sheet of card to make multiples.

These didn't quite pan-out how I intended but here's two of them. 

Apart from the lime green the images are all stamped in Altenew inks.

So as tradition goes let's head to the blog hop ...
