Uniko - Challenge #60 Reminder

Hey there it's time to give you a gentle reminder about our last challenge of 2020 over at Uniko

The theme for this one is 'tis the season' with the optional twist to add Sparkle! Well you know me ... I can't resist a bit of bling but maybe I've gone a bit OTT here! I decided to pull out my favourite Uniko Christmas goodies and they are all the Winter Foliage range; stamps, dies and stencil along with a die-cut 'Joy' sentiment from Hero Arts and the 'To The World' sentiment is from the Uniko Simply Said Christmas set.

Here's what |I came up with:



I didn't get round to joining in with Tracey McNeely's 25 days of Christmas tags in early November as I wasn't organised enough but I had a little bit of stencilled card left so made the tag as well. 




Hopefully there'll be a couple more similar ideas on my IG post ... assuming I remember to post them!

As always there's plenty of fantastic creations by my fellow teamies, so why not head over to the Uniko blog HERE to check out the links and pay them a visit! I'm sure they'd appreciate it and here's our Cue Card for the challenge which we'd love to see displayed in your blog post.




Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Sathya, one of our previous Uniko Challenge winners. Do pop along and visit her blog and leave a friendly word and some love.

You have until Friday, 1st January to link up to the challenge and all the details you need about prizes and how to play can be found over at Uniko HERE

As always thanks for calling by my blog today and I hope you feel inspired and will play along with us!

Uniko - DT Inspiration Post: Thank You

Hi there, WOW it's obviously a while since I posted anything here - Blogger has changed! Yikes going to have to take a little time to suss a few things out!

Anyway I hope you are all keeping well, wherever you are during this very stressful and weird time. We are well and trying to juggle both working at home, on the whole, with an 8 month old puppy in tow who is up to lots of mischief - hence crafting has taken a VERY back seat of late.

So today I'm back with a little reminder about our current challenge over at Uniko where the theme is Anything Goes with the optional twist of 'Thank You'

Here's my card which I put together on one of our dreary days in the UK and decided to skip the old Autumn tones in favour of bright cheery.

Uniko - Challenge #59 Reminder


Hi there, I'm back with a little reminder about our current challenge over at Uniko and the theme for this one is Anything Goes with the optional twist to make it Bright & Happy.

Here's my card using the floral image from Hello Lovely along with some sentiments from the beautiful set along with a 'beautiful' die-cut word die and shadow. Once again I've channelled Bev's beautiful colour blending combos, which also happen to be some of my own favourites. I've used Distress Oxides in Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers.

Uniko Challenge #59


Hi there friends, I hope you are all keeping safe and well during this very difficult time. 

Today we are starting our latest challenge over at Uniko and hopefully it'll put everyone in a cheery mood despite the restrictions and stresses. 

Here's the cue card to explain what's required



... and here's my card using the Mid Century Modern II Stencil with some Uniko sentiments and a die-cut 'sending' word from Simon Says Stamp. I've channelled some of Bev's beautiful colour blending combos here as they are definitely cheerful, bright and happy in my opinion.

Uniko Challenge #58

Hi there, I'm back with a little reminder about our current challenge over at Uniko where the theme is Spots & Stripes with the optional TWIST to use a stencil.

I've got to admit that my mojo isn't exactly flowing at the moment during this stressful time so I've just the one card and it's not the most exciting I've ever done but hope you'll understand ...



I used a home made 'GinaK' style turnaround card adding lines and spots around the corners of my original square panel, using BackGround Builders Classics and Round in Circles sets with a bold sentiment from BIG & BOLD Hello. I opted for bright and cheery colours to hopefully make someone smile. 

As always there's plenty of fantastic creations by my fellow teamies, so why not head over to the Uniko blog HERE to check out the links and pay them a visit! I'm sure they'd appreciate it!

Uniko - Revisit March 2020


Hi there friends, I hope you are all keeping well and safe during these scary times and sending lots of love and crafty hugs your way (from a distance of course)!

So 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 an oldie but goodie and has to go down as my all time favourite floral set by Uniko, which is, of course, the Pure Florals - Gerbera set. It's never a chore to play with this one, especially with the co-ordinating dies; it's a dream!

I've gone with 2 shaker card examples, basically because I set myself a stupid task of sorting out my sequins the other day!!!! I'd forgotten how many different types I have!!







As is the tradition there's a blog hop giveaway; the prize being the Pure Florals Gebera set or an alternative prize if you already own this one! You have until midnight (GMT) on Sunday 22 March 2020 to comment along the hop and here's the blogs you need to visit.

Sarah (That's Me!)

You'll find all the details over at Uniko HERE and I'd like to wish you lots of luck on the hop and here's the image of the Gerbera set we've revisited. Hope you enjoyed the inspiration and as always thanks for visiting my blog today.

Uniko - Introducing Spring Botanicals Tulip

Hello again and once again welcome to the latest introductory post for the new goodies, being released by Uniko this month. They will all be available to purchase from the store on Sunday, 23rd February 2020. 



Today, the Team and I are showcasing the latest set in the Spring Botanicals range - this time with tulips! Let's hope these beautiful flowers start popping up in our gardens soon too. It was my Mum's birthday yesterday so this set worked a treat for her card, especially as tulips are one of her favourite blooms. It was also another opportunity to feature the fantastic outlined alphabet set that we introduced on Tuesday.


I also made a matching gift tag for mum's gift too!



Last one for this post using some Easter sentiments, included in the set along with a stencilled background using Uniko's Lattice stencil.




Tomorrow is the final day of our introductions to the new goodies before the BIG REVEAL, RELEASE & GIVEAWAY on Sunday. The release schedule, can be found over on the Uniko blog HERE as well as links and peeks at how my fellow teamies have worked their magic!

DON'T FORGET to enter the HUGE prize giveaway to 'WIN stamps for a year' details on THIS post!




Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll be back for more introductions tomorrow.
