Uniko Revisit - June 2019

Hi there friends, it's another REVIST month over at Uniko where Bev asks us to 'dig out', dust down and bring a previously released set back into the spotlight! 
This month it's the turn of Explosion, Explosion Additions and their coordinating dies and as we are close to Father's Day I decided to combine this occasion with my first card:

A very 'busy' background of the images and sentiments here from both sets - quick and easy to do with the 'Happy Father's Day' explosion die popped up on an Art Impressions Action Wobbler for a bit of added fun.

A little more 'white' space on this one with a die-cut explosion adhered to the card front as well as a 'sunken' WOW die for extra interest. The 'You Rock' sentiment is from the Simply Said Blocks range also by Uniko.

As is the tradition there's a blog hop giveaway; the prize being an e-gift voucher for £25 and you have until Midnight (BST) to join the hop and comment on the blogs to be in with a chance of winning the prize.

You'll find all the details over at Uniko HERE and here's the list of blogs you need to visit on the hop! I wish you lots of luck!

To Bee or Not to Bee Blog Hop

Hi Friends 

Welcome to the 2019 BEE or not to BEE Blog Hop!

Along with some of my fellow teamies at Uniko I'm joining in a very special Blog Hop today, to celebrate World Bee Day, to support bees and to raise public awareness of the importance of bees. The HOP is being hosted by Milka of Crafty Milka and you are invited to Hop Along and hopefully win some BEE-utiful prizes! Why not head over to Milka's blog HERE to see what it's all about.

Here's my card using some Uniko products; the BIG & BOLD 'Happy' and Bee Happy stamp sets along with a Sizzix Honeycomb die with lots of honey-coloured inky blending behind.

Before I leave you to HOP here's some useful facts about bees and how important they are to the human race. 

Happy Hopping and Good Luck!

Thanks for calling by today!

Uniko - Bev's 40th Birthday Blog Hop

Hi friends, can you believe that Bev, super talented and simply awesome owner of Uniko is celebrating a BIG birthday today! 40 years young! 

The Uniko DT are sharing a sneaky surprise birthday blog hop in honour of Bev's birthday today so why not head on over to the blog HERE for more details. You can also join in by creating a birthday card for Bev and link it up to the post. We hope she'll love the fact that we've taken over the blog!!!
Here's my card and I just couldn't resist going with my 'go to' rainbow blended look using the Uniko Stylised Floral Stencil along with some birthday sentiments from the Simply Said Blocks range. I recently purchased the Bold Numeral dies by Altenew, die-cutting the stencilled panel with 40 before popping them up on 4 layers of black cardstock. A few enamel dots to finish the look!

Many congratulations on your special birthday Bev and hope it's FAB-u-lous,

 bursting with fun and surprises!

It's also my sister and brother-in-laws' wedding anniversary today so using slightly 'cooler' rainbow tones on this one with a die-cut heart from WPlus9, circular 'Happy' sentiment by Neat and Tangled plus die-cut 'popped-up' Anniversary sentiment from Clearly Besotted.

As always thanks for calling by my blog today

Uniko - Reveal, Release and Blog Hop Giveaway May 2019

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 goodies from Uniko.
Here's my cards showcasing these fabulous sets and they will be available in the shop HERE and waiting for you to buy!
The first 2 feature the Mid Century Modern Florals set teamed with the BIG & BOLD Wish stamp set and the coordinating word die on the first one.

This one uses just the Mid Century Modern Florals and I have to admit that as soon as I saw the set I thought of the Orla Kiely homeware designs so this card features my take on that theme with a sentiment from the Simply Said Blocks 

And some butterfly mania below with the first one also including the Large Background Sketched Foliage set. There's lots of shimmer pen used on these 3 below but it's not obvious in the photos but I can assure you there's plenty of glittery shine in real life! The sentiments for these are from the previously released Wonderful Day stamp set. 

All that's left for me to do is set you off on the traditional Design Team Blog Hop and wish you luck. All the details are over on the Uniko blog HERE so if you get lost along the way just head back there.
