June 2024 Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Happy Weekend & HAPPY NEW RELEASE DAY.

I'm so glad you have stopped by the blog today as today is the day ALL the products myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors have been showcasing this week are now available HERE on the BRAND NEW Uniko website.

Yes, that's correct! 

The long awaited and much anticipated fresh Uniko website is finally here. It's been a learning curve for me as we've transferred over to a new and more efficient platform, unfortunately it wasn't possible to transfer account details over, my apologies for that. If you've already been over and registered an account on the new site this week, thank you. 

I am still working on adding some of the pretty details and fancy features. The focus has been on functionality and accessibility. I will keep you informed of new features as and when they are added. 

Last little bit of website news, I will have access to the old platform for one more week. If you require a screenshot of your purchase history, drop me an email and I can do that for you. This is the only information I am able to access before the website is gone forever. 

Ok, now let's get to the FUN and formally introduce the new products.

First up we have the next stencil in the Ink & Flip line up. This time I have gone for a geometric hexagon and again I have gone for the two layer option giving more creative possibilities. 




 Stencil - Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Hexagon £8

Next up we have a BEEautiful addition to the Flower Power Collection. I can't wait to see all the mix and matches with the previously released Flower Power sets. 

As you can see this stamp set features two hexagon flowers that can be used on their own, but they can be layered up too. There is a little bitty bee that is the same, but smaller version than the one in Bee Happy. You get the usual stem and leaves with a fun hexagon in fill and this can be die cut using the same leaf and stem die from the Designer Dies Flower Power 1 - 6 Collection. There are 2 separate leaves and 4 sentiment options. 

As the font is the same as all the other Flower Power clear stamp sets there will be lots more sentiment options to Buzz By and Say! 



 Flower Power #9 £6.50

Next we have a fun addition to the Background Blocks Collection. Another FUN stripe design and one that has lots of creative possibilities. I can't wait to see what you all do with this one! 



Background Blocks Offset Stripes £6.50

Lastly, but by no means least we have a fun Mid Century Modern inspired addition to the Flower Power Collection. In this I have added two different kinds of single leaves and the sentiments are all bloom inspired.

Back In Stock!

Happy Friday!

I thought I would pop by today & let you know about a HUGE batch of restocks which arrived in the studio this week - yay! 

With no new release scheduled until January 2020, it gave me the opportunity to restock a lot of popular clear stamp sets and some of which have been out of stock for some time now, apologies for that.

Anyway, let's have a look and see what's back...


So many favourites of mine here :) Today I was inspired to used Background Builders: Vines, you can check out my card and post HERE.

Have a wonderful Friday & I hope you find some time to be creative.

CAS Colours & Sketches #287 - Sketch

Hey!

Welcome back to another week at CAS Colours & Sketches and the last week in August! This week our hostess is Karen and she has this fun sketch HERE and seen below...




I've been wanting to put my background building stamp skills to the test ever since the recent Uniko Background Builders: Happy Hexagons landed on my desk, I just needed a little time to do it! I had a bit of time this past Thursday, whilst The Beans were out with their grandparents and set to making the largest panel on the sketch...




I used my MISTI tool and the Background Builders: Happy Hexagons acetate sheet the stamps come on to stamp and perfectly space the outline hexagons strip in VersaMark ink. I then heat embossed them in white. 




I also gave my recently purchased Altenew watercolours another outing, using the majority of yellows and oranges in the set, just randomly colouring them. The sentiment & bee is from Bee Happy

That's all from me today, I hope thatI have inspired you to join in on the challenge?! If you need a little more inspiration, pop on over HERE to see what the CC&S Design Team have created.

Thanks for stopping by!

Introducing... Background Builders: Happy Hexagons & Beautiful

Hey!

Welcome back to day 2 of the August 2018 Release product introductions.

This is the fun part, you now get to see all the sneak peeks in action. The Design Team have worked their socks off and created an abundance of inspiration to share with you over the coming days :)

Yesterday myself and the Design Team re-introduced the 'So Much' mini clear stamp set HERE, be sure to check out all the inspiration and comment along the hop ;)

Today we are introducing 2 new clear stamp sets, Background Builders: Happy Hexagons & Beautiful.

Here is a little look at Background Builders: Happy Hexagons...




Geometrics, particularly hexagons are bang on trend right now and can be seen all around the paper crafting industry. I didn't have this in mind when I was designing the stamp set, I was mainly thinking to add to the Uniko Background Builders Geometric collection! 

This was one of the cards from the Uniko Summer Stamping Retreat and it features all 4 of the single large hexagon stamps. The smaller squished hexagon is such a fun shape to add sentiments inside and some from the Simply Said range are the perfect size ;)




I've used my current favourite Altenew inks on this card and my 'go to' shades are the second lightest in the colour quads. The tiny solid hexagons are from Bee Happy clear stamp set, which was another influence on designing this new background builder. 

Next is Beautiful...




This clear stamp set came about through some logo designing I did for a friend and I was drawing imagery related to holistic therapies and geraniums were one of the flowers I started with. To cut a long story short, I ended up designing a logo completely different and these were calling to be put into a stamp set! 




This is another of the cards made at the Uniko Summer Stamping Retreat. The focus being on the sentiment and flowers stamped and heat embossed in white.

Ok, that's all I have to share here, but why not grab a cup of your favourite beverage and hop along with myself and the team...?





Well, I thoroughly enjoyed that hop and I am all inspired to get inky! I'd love to know your thoughts on these clear stamp sets and which is your favourite of the two, that is if you can decide?! 

That's all from myself and the Design Team today, but be sure to come by tomorrow for even more product introductions :)
