HAPPY Lattice...

Hey!

Happy Friday everyone :) I'm back today with another card to share. Yesterday I saw the current CASE Study challenge HERE and seen below on Facebook and instantly my card idea 'popped' into my head and I couldn't wait to create it! 

Another Maile Belles beauty to CASE and it certainly got my creative mojo going! I was firstly inspired by the hearts, the solid heart surrounded by the outline heart. I instantly thought of Background Builders: Lattice...

I was also inspired by the colours, placement and use of die cut! I'm really pleased that the card turned out as I had imagined, as sometimes I have an idea in my head and it's a nightmare to get it onto CS and made into a card! 

There is still time to join in on the CASE challenge HERE and don't forget the awesome prize up for grabs a £20 Uniko Studio gift certificate! 

Simply CASE one of the Design Teams cards shown in the May DT Blog Hop, blog about it or put it on your online gallery and link it up below so we can see :) Using Uniko Studio products is not a requirement, but we always LOVE to see them used! 

That's all from me today, I'll be back again in the morning with more to share :)

Thanks for stopping by

Blooming Vellum!

Hey!

Finally I found a little inky time this week & also time to finish a card I had started making on Saturday during the demo at The Paperlane...

I'm totally on a vellum kick at the moment and I am hooked on using the NEW Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum (Back in Stock 28th May). I used the same technique I did HERE on this card using Cosmic Shimmer EP and Copic markers. 

This little bloom is perfect for the current CASology challenge HERE, the code word being bloom!

This bloom was easy to fussy cut out as it's on vellum (no more fussy cutting soon *wink*) and I used small amounts of double sided tape to adhere it to the card, strategically placing it along the embossed lines so it can't be seen.

There is still time to join in on the CASE challenge HERE and don't forget the awesome prize up for grabs a £20 Uniko Studio gift certificate! 

Simply CASE one of the Design Teams cards shown in the May DT Blog Hop, blog about it or put it on your online gallery and link it up below so we can see :) Using Uniko Studio products is not a requirement, but we always LOVE to see them used!

A Fond Farewell & A Warm Hello...

Hey!

Today we have a Fond Farewell to one of Uniko Studios Design Team members who has been with us since before day 1 when Uniko Studio was only an idea on paper!

Due to life & work commitments Kerry is stepping down from the Design Team :( I'm going to miss seeing Kerry's Layerlicious Lovliness on the DT Blog Hops but I am sure she will still be creating with Uniko Studio products now & then! 

THANK YOU Kerry for all your hard work and support with Uniko Studio it is truly appreciated. Hugs x

With fond farewells always comes a Warm Hello... as I now get to introduce you to the newest member of the Uniko Studio Design Team...

The one & only super talented Taheerah! 

I was super excited when Taheerah agreed to be Guest Designer last month for release & she certainly 'WOW'ed me with her creation using Uniko Studio products. So when Taheerah said she would join the permanent DT I was beyond ecstatic! You're going to LOVE stopping by Taheerah's blog HERE to see her creations :)

I know you'll all give Kerry a fond virtual hug farewell & Taheerah a warm hug hello :) I thought I make a SUPER simple & CAS card as it be wrong not to have a project to share...

The Gerbera's were still on my desk after making yesterdays card so made this nearly one layer card, this time I used the solid bloom and paired it with a sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments #1. I used the current CAS(E) this Sketch! layout for my card seen HERE and below and again I used the Dynamic Duos Anniversary Challenge colours I picked yesterday. 

Did you miss the May Design Team Blog Hop HERE? Well, there is still time to comment along the hop to win a prize & there is also a CASE challenge going on & a prize is up for grabs for the challenge too! 

Did you know Uniko Studio is on Facebook? We have a page HERE and it's updated regularly with all the goings on here at Uniko Studio. It would make my Birthday if you'd pop over & like my page! If we get to 200 likes before my birthday is over I will draw a lucky FB liker for a prize too!!

That's all from me today, I'm off out for my birthday today, a spot of retail therapy, self indulgence, a meal out and getting my geek on later to see the NEW Star Trek in 3D! 

I hope you all have a lovely day whatever you maybe up to! Thanks for stopping by :)

Happy Birthday Gerbera!

Hey!

In T Minus 50 minutes it'll be my birthday and the end of my 33rd year! I already know that my 34th year is going to be a FANTASTIC one with my Wedding Day in Hawaii & FABulous trip around the west coast of the USA planned :) 

Today has been a super busy one in the studio but I managed to squeeze in a little crafting time to make todays card...

Continuing with this months revisited set Pure Florals: Gerbera I decided to ink it up again & paired it with the clocking in card from Extra Time & a sentiment from Time. I've had this card idea in my head since Saturday night when I saw the current retrosketches sketch seen HERE and below...

I also played along with the current Dynamic Duos Anniversary challenge HERE and decided to pick this colour combo to use...

May Design Team Blog Hop!

Hey!

Happy Weekend! 

I'm SO glad you've stopped by the blog today as we've a Design Team Blog Hop for you to enjoy. So grab a drink, get comfy and enjoy! 

This month here at Uniko Studio we are having a fresh look at the previously released Pure Florals: Gerbera. This set was released last year back in July HERE. Gerbera daisies are a lovely flower as they come in SO many wonderful colours :)

Here's a look at the set...

This is a 2 step stamping clear stamp set containing 2 views of the flower & 2 sizes of leaves which are also 2 step stampable, plus a variety of mix & match sentiments! 

I thought I'd share a couple of older cards using this set first... 

I found some time this week & created this new card to share with you too...

I was inspired by the current CASE Study challenge seen HERE and below. After all this months muse at CASE Study is my crafting crush, so I had to join in again on all the fun! 

I started out by stamping the full linear bloom onto the Kraft CS base using Versamark ink and then over stamped the side view linear flower so it slightly went off the edge of the card. I then stamped the side view flower again onto cream CS and coloured it in using Copic markers before fussy cutting it out. A little bit of cream twill and a simple sentiment finished it off nicely! 

Ok, so that's enough from me lets get onto the Design Team Hop, your first stop from here is Aimes & I know your going to LOVE the project she has whipped up for you!

Sequins & Butterflies

Hey!

Happy Friday to you all, I hope you've all had a good week so far & are looking forward to the weekend :) It's been a busy but good week here in the studio with lots of lovely things going on. One of the things I've been up to this week, is creating some Uniko Studio product card kits to sell at The Paperlane where I do my demonstrations and classes. The card I have to share with you today is from one of the card kits I've put together using the BRIGHT Butterflies Designer Dies...

I've fallen in LOVE with the sequin trend and so had to use them & pairing them with a pink & silver die cut butterfly is a lovely sparkly result! It was a time consuming process threading & wrapping the sequins around the cream panel but quite relaxing too. The butterfly is adhered to the panel using foam adhesive to lift it off the sequins.

This card is SO sparkly in real life & you can see some of the sparkle in the photo above. I'm at The Paperlane tomorrow doing a demonstration in the morning 10am - 2pm and there are still a couple of places left in the class from 2pm - 5pm. I'd LOVE to see you of your in the area :)

Be sure to stop by the blog here tomorrow too as the Design Team & I have a 'Revisited' Blog Hop planned with a challenge & of course a PRIZE!! 

The SALE & FREE Worldwide Shipping in the shop ends tomorrow too, so be sure to take full advantage while you can!! 

That's all from me today, I hope you all have a lovely day & thanks for stopping by.
