So this month we have the following challenge...

Spring is just around the corner for those in the Northern hemisphere and who doesn't love pretty flowers and bunnies?!

Challenge Guidelines:

This month we have TWO awesome Guest Designers joining us, Marianne and Milka, both where lucky winners of Uniko Challenge #38.

March 2017 Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hey & Happy Weekend!

It's the 11th of the month, which means as it is not a release month (sorry, I promise it'll be worth the wait till next month) the Design Team and I are here today with the usual Design Team Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY!

This month we have decided to dust off and revisit the previously released Some Bunny clear stamp set...

This clear stamp set was released last year HERE and is one of the only two 'cute' sets I have designed! The introduction to this set can be seen HERE and the set also has a Pinterest page HERE, in which you can find lots of inspiration using it.

As usual I have picked a couple of my 'old' favourites using this set...

This next card is by DT Alumni Amy Gray...

Now, how about some fresh new inspiration using this set AND don't forget to comment along the Design Team blogs to be in the chance of winning the Some Bunny clear stamp set and an £10 eGift Certificate.  Or a £15 Gift Certificate if you already own the clear stamps. You have until Midnight GMT Friday 25th March to get your comments in.

CAS Colours & Sketches #164

Hey!

Sorry I have been so quiet here, I'm just about feeling as near to 100% that I am going to get after all the bugs and illnesses, plus almost caught up on other jobs in the studio! 

Anyway, thanks for sticking around and I am back today with a card for the new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches HERE. This week is sketch week and our hostess Jane has a fun sketch for you to try...

Jane would really like you to keep the square element square, but if you think 'outside the box' this sketch has LOTS of potential! 

Here is what I came up with...

Firstly I decided to use the recently released & popular Beautiful Blooms III clear stamp set (due back in stock on the 23rd March & available for pre order HERE). 

I then turned to the current Uniko Challenge colours seen HERE and below, there is still time to join in and be in the chance of winning a eGift Certificate to spend in store.

I'm not sure if I have used this die cut technique before, so I thought I would used it for my card. I simply placed and traced round my square die, so I knew where to stamp my flower and sentiment. I then die cut the square and adhered the main white mat layer to the pink card base using DST and adhered the die cut square using foam adhesive.

I love the dimension and how the colour of the base card peeks through without overpowering the image. 

Ok, that's all from me just now, but be sure to check out the CC&S design team samples and inspiration HERE and I look forward to seeing your creations in the gallery :)

Thanks for stopping by today.

CAS Colours & Sketches #162

Hey!

Welcome back to another fun challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. This week is sketch week and our host Stef has a fun and easy sketch for you HERE and seen below...

I was in a Spring mood with it being so sunny yesterday in the NE of the UK and decided to give the recently released Some Bunny some inky love...

I can't resist paper piecing the bunny, it is so quick and fun to do. I found a scrap of pink polka dot DP to use.

The colours of my card were inspired by the current Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below, which made for a perfect pink bunny against a backdrop of die cut light green 'mounds' and some kraft 'ground'!

Ok, that's all from me just now, but I will be sharing more today and also HERE with todays SOTW using this weeks CAS Colours & Sketches sketch too ;)

Thanks for stopping by & I hope to see you over in the challenge gallery HERE.

Introducing... Some Bunny

Hey!

I am SO happy you have stopped by today, here at Uniko we are in full swing with the February Release & 4th Birthday Celebrations! In case you have missed some of the FUN there is a giveaway HERE and HERE.

Today is the last of the product introductions, I can't believe that tomorrow is the full reveal & release day! Anyway, today the Uniko Design Team, Amy Gray a Uniko DT Alumni and I have whipped up a few projects using todays set to inspire you and give you an idea of the possibilities it has.

Here is the sneak peek I shared a few days ago...

I channeled my inner cute to create this clear stamp set, which is based on a cute soft toy bunny that Josh one of my twin boys has a favourite for. 

You may have seen my card HERE over on "Less is More", they are currently celebrating their 5th Birthday and Uniko is one of the sponsors for the challenge. I thought I would share it today for those who haven't seen it...

The challenge over at LIM is white on white with a splash of black or metallics. As you can clearly see I chose black. I simply stamped him on white CS and fussy cut him out, I added a tiny heart also from the set to his tummy. The sentiment is from Simply Said and I added a couple more stamped hearts for decoration.

For reference the bunny is a reasonable size, measuring 56 x 66mm approximately. Sorry, just the one card from me today, I have been hit by yet another chesty cold and my creativity seemed to go astray with my energy last night :(

But

 now I am passing you over to the fabulous Uniko Design Team and our guest Amy Gray a Uniko DT Alumni to inspire you, please click on the links below to see what they have created and don't forget to leave them some love too ;)

Below I have outlined the release schedule and as it is a celebration, it would be rude not to have prizes...

Sneak Peeks 5th & 6th February. These little teasers give you hints at what is in store!

Introducing... 7th - 10th February - Here you'll get to see the soon to be released products in action. The Uniko Design Team and a few Uniko DT Alumni will be joining in on the introductions and you won't want to miss a second!

Release Day! Thursday 11th February you will get to see all the products in their entirety and purchase them HERE on the website! As tradition holds there will be a Uniko Design Team & Alumni Blog Hop with a chance for a lucky person to win the ENTIRE release & more!

Now, you won't want to miss out on any of the fun from the 5th - 10th February as I will be drawing totally random winners for mystery prizes. I'm not giving any hints as to the prizes or their value, you'll just have to join in on the fun!

Places to join in on the fun & possibly win a prize are by commenting along the way on the Uniko Blogs, Design Team Blogs, Alumni Blogs, liking the Uniko Facebook Page, following on Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram.

Hope to see you tomorrow for more & thank you for stopping by today :)
