Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Flowers and Confetti

Good morning!

Anita here with some BA inspiration for you.  As you will be aware, if you've seen Bev's most recent posts, Uniko is celebrating it's 12th Birthday this month!  So it will be birthday inspiration aplenty this month.  Please do check back over the posts of the last few days to find out all about the Uniko Giveaways, and there's much more to come this month too.

On to my card, and I've mixed a few different products to create this one.

On a panel of white cardstock, slightly smaller than my card base, I began by masking off a "swoosh" and lightly ink blending using Distress Inks in Squeezed Lemonade and Dried Marigold.  I then laid the Party Confetti Stencil over the top and ink blended using Dried Marigold (over the Squeezed Lemonade) and Abandoned Coral (over the Dried Marigold).  I then removed the masks and stamped the large peonies image from the Hello Lovely Clear Stamp Set.  I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Flower Power #2 Clear Stamp set and heat embossed in white onto a strip of coral cardstock.  The panel was then adhered on 3D foam.

I think the floral image, along with the swoosh of colour and confetti stencilling is a great mix for a feminine birthday card.  And I think you can tell from these sunny colours that I can't wait for Spring to arrive!

There will be lots more inspiration in the coming days and throughout the rest of February so I encourage you to check in and see lots more from the team.

Thanks for taking a look and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

 

Let The Celebrations Begin 🎉

 

Hello & Happy February! 

Welcome to a fun month of celebrations, giveaways, LOTS of inspiration and a NEW Release at the end of the month.

Although January felt like the longest month, it doesn't seem a year since our 10th Birthday celebrations! Last year was a big milestone and probably another year to add to one of the hardest. However, with your support and custom, Uniko is here to celebrate another year.

THANK YOU ❤️

It wouldn't be a birthday month without a party. So as tradition holds we have our usual Birthday Card Link Party! 

Simply create a birthday card using Uniko products and share it using the linky at the bottom of this post.

Uniko 10th Birthday Celebrations - Introducing Alumni CASE Yourself

 Welcome to Day 2 of Uniko's 10th Birthday Celebrations 🎉

Today I am introducing a fun feature we have this month here on the blog. If you are a long standing fan and follower of Uniko, you will know that Uniko has been honoured to have so many talented crafters as part of the team over the years. 

With it being a milestone birthday I have called upon a few of the Uniko Alumni to join in on the celebrations with a fun feature. They will be appearing here on the blog this month in-between quests up until our traditional countdown to release day. Each of the Alumni have been given the task of choosing a favourite make from their time on the team (a task in itself) and then to CASE it using a newer product.

I couldn't resist joining in the fun myself 😉 so I am kicking things off! So, what card have I chosen to CASE? This for me was the hardest task, but after looking through Uniko's first year I went back to the beginning and decided to CASE one of my very first cards I made using Uniko clear stamps...

Hands up, who remembers Today, Tomorrow & Always Time and Today, Tomorrow & Always Extra Time? These were Uniko's two debuting clear stamp sets in 2012 and I combined them onto this card. 

Now here is how I CASE'd myself...

As you can see I pretty much kept the card layout, stamping layout and colours the same. Not my usual colours for a floral card, but I think the loopy florals from Kindness Blooms lend themselves to a non traditional twist like this.

In place of the clocking in card on the original card I knew a Background Block design would be perfect, choosing one of the 22 current designs wasn't easy. Background Blocks Solid Wonky Stripes won in the end!

My question to you is, what Uniko products would you have chosen to CASE my card? I'd love to know and if you decide to make and CASE, I'd love to see 😊

That's all I have to share today and I hope you enjoy this feature this month. If you missed the start of the celebrations, you can catch up HERE.
