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.

Uniko - Introducing English Country Garden Dies & Large BG Sketched Foliage

Thanks for visiting again today as it's time for Day 2 of the introductions in preparation for the latest release of new products from Uniko.

At last there'll be some Designer Dies to coordinate with the previously released English Country Gardens set! Yippee and I've a couple of projects using them below as well as a new Large Background stamp called Sketched Foliage.

As well as the regular Design Team we're also joined by Jenny from Crafting in the Country who is the Uniko Guest Designer for this release so do pop along and visit her blog and leave a friendly word. 
Here goes with an embossed resist look for the first one and the second stamped then coloured using Polychromos. The sentiments are from the Simply Said Blocks range: 

... and a 'same but different' duo just using the butterflies and a sentiment from Paradise Hummingbird

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!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll be back for more introductions this week.

Less is More #388 - 8th Birthday

Hey there friends

It's BIRTHDAY time ... YIPPEE and I'm delighted and highly honoured to have been invited back to my favourite Challenge blog; Less is More, of course, as a Guest Designer this month in celebration of this fabulous birthday!

Congratulations Girls and here's to the next one! 

It's COLOUR challenge time and the girls have chosen a really fun combo which I love

... and I've 2 cards to share with you; first up a silly fishy one using Briny Blue by Paper Smooches, a stencil from Uniko (Wonky Stripes) and a mish-mash of sentiments from the Briny Blue set and some Uniko sentiment stamps. I couldn't resist a couple of googlie eyes too and as the card is for my sister, who celebrates her birthday tomorrow - how about some superb lashes to those eyes!!

Next up, this one uses images and sentiments by Uniko, which is sponsoring the challenge. I've used the pre-Christmas released Pure Florals: Peony set, initially heat embossed in white powder on to the Navy cardstock before re-stamping in a no-line colouring effect. The bloom is coloured with promarkers then with some added detail using Polychromo pencils.

Ok that's all from me but I'm' in no doubt that there'll be plenty more inspiration from the regular Design Team as well as some other ex-DT members. Why not head over to the blog HERE to check them out too. 

Thanks as always for calling by and thanks for inviting me to join your birthday party girls!

Uniko - Introducing Life is a song, Background Blocks Equaliser

Hi There,
I'm back with Day 4 of our introductions to this month's release of new goodies from Uniko and we're adding a little musical note or two to your day. I've a little trio going on and having googled graphic equalisers for ideas I hope you like my colour combos!


These first 2 are coloured using the Zig Clear brush Markers having stamped the images in Memento Tuxedo Black, which works ok providing you don't add water. 

For this next one I heat embossed the Background Block with WOW Gold embossing powder then coloured the 'LED' lights with Polychromos and added a 'You Rock' sentiment from the previously released Simply Said Block Sentiments

 

There's one more day of introductions tomorrow before the BIG reveal, release and giveaway on Wednesday so I hope you'll be back to join me! 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!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll be back tomorrow for the next introduction.
