Hello & Happy Thursday!
Today I am doing a little reminiscing with a throwback Thursday.
Unfortunately, the time has come to say farewell to a couple of clear stamp sets. I never find this easy and it really does take me a while to let them go. BUT, as much as I do love these sets, trends change, just like the seasons AND there is always so much newness around the corner.
So what are we saying farewell to?
Decorative Doilies - The Hands Of Time
Firstly it is with a heavy heart we are saying farewell to Decorative Doilies - The Hands Of Time. This stamp set holds a special place in my heart. I originally designed elements of this set at college while studying for my degree in Textiles and Surface Design.
This set is closely connected to the two clear stamps I launched Uniko with back in February 2012, Today, Tomorrow and Always Time and Today, Tomorrow and Always Extra Time. These sets were designed for my final major project and I poured hours of research, drawing and designing into them as I learned Adobe Illustrator.
Here are a couple of my favourite cards made using this set. You can see more on Pinterest HERE.
And for old times sake, I have a fresh card to share with you using this set...
The next stamp set we are bidding farewell to is...
This is another stamp set from the early years of Uniko, April 2014 to be exact! Here are a few of my favourites using this set. And you can see more HERE on Pinterest.
And again, for old times sake, a new one...
So that's it, my Throwback Thursday and a farewell to these two stamp sets. It's been lovely looking back and I know for sure these early stamp sets will always have a special place in my heart and crafting stash.
There are still some available on the website HERE at bargain prices, waiting for a loving inky home. Once they are gone the product will be removed from the website 😢
That's all from me today.
So fun to see your old & new cards, Bev! Really love the rainbow doily card!
ReplyDeleteWOW Bev these look amazing and what a stunner of a 'new' card using the Doilies/hand stamps...so eye catching and so fresh x. The 'new' vine card is so delicate and so very pretty x. Thanks for the inspiration x.
ReplyDeleteAlways sad to see stamp sets retiring. I have the Decorative Doilies set which I must ink up again soon! X
ReplyDeleteWow lots of gorgeous cards and so many wonderful ideas! Thanks so much for joining our sketch challenge at CC&S 🙂
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the doilies. They remind me of the Spirograph I loved as a kid. Beautiful take on our sketch Beverley. Thanks so much for playing along with us at the CC&S challenge blog this week!
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad to say goodbye to much-loved sets Beverley but what a swansong - that rainbow of colours brings those circles together beautifully. Thanks for playing over at CAS Colours & Sketches this week!
ReplyDeleteWow Bev, surely you're having second thoughts about Decorative Doilies - they look so fresh and modern! Love the cards you've made with this set and the rainbow one especially. Thank you for sharing your talents with us at CAS Colours and Sketches :) Vicky x
ReplyDeleteLove the colors, the doily stamp set is beautiful and I really hate seeing good things come to an end, however, space must be made for all things new, not necessarily better. Love how you put your card together, a beautiful send off! Thanks so much for joining us this week at CC&S
