Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Alphabet and Animals!

Good morning, 

Steph her today. Did I mention how much I loved the Uniko Alphabet Solid stamp set during the February birthday release? So, I have used this stamp set as my focus for my Uniko Brand Ambassador inspiration post this month and teamed it with Uniko's animal themed stamps, creating some 'play on words' sentiments to add even more fun! 

First we have a 'Hoppy' birthday card using the bunny from the Uniko Hoppy Easter stamp set and the birthday from the Uniko WILD stamp set (currently unavailable).

I'm particularly pleased with this daft sentiment! The cat stamp is from the Uniko Mid Century Modern Purrfect Day stamp set. The rest of the sentiment is made from parts from the 'From our home to yours' in the Uniko Festive Sentiments stamp set. 

And finally, also a slightly daft sentiment teamed with the paw print from the Uniko Paw Print Hearts stamp set and a heart from the Uniko Falling Hearts Serenade stamp set. 

For all these cards I used VersaMagic chalk inks which give a nice effect to the silhouette style of these cards.

Thanks for visiting today.

Much love

Steph x

Rainbow Waves & Paw Print Hearts

Happy FriYAY!

It's been another day of show prep in the studio today, but I managed to find some inspiration and time to finish add something to this background I stamped a few days ago. 





I've been on a little watercolour kick this past week, working on some cards coming for the April Release at the end of the month. 

But I had this idea to do some watercolour waves using the Background Blocks Waves. I started with a panel of watercolour card that I washed with water before putting inside my stamping platform. I then inked the Background Blocks Waves in Poppy, Marmalade, Buttercup, Parsley, Oceanside and Blueberry. Stamping it down onto the card and letting the colours smoosh and bleed into the paper.




I then couldn't decide what to put on the background, but then today I thought of Paw Print Hearts. So I simply used my stamping platform to stamp the heart and sentiment in black ink before adhering the panel to a piece of Honeysuckle card. 

Like all sympathy cards they are difficult to make, but good to have on hand for when they are sadly needed. 

Right, time to do a bit more prep.

Brand Ambassador Inspiration - BIG & BOLD Love & Paw Print Hearts

Bonjour !

It's Izzy here. I echo Steph's post (see HERE) with her Love cards but this time for another loved one...your four-legged fellow. 

So I made 3 cards using the Paw Print Hearts and the BIG & BOLD Love stamp sets where I show you how versatile but also complementary both sets are.


For my first card I wanted something bold and bright so I stamped the paw prints in different colours all over the double white card and I stamped in a very light grey an outline heart from the BIG & BOLD set between the paw prints. 

Then, I stamped the word LOVE from the Big & bold set, on a piece of Vellum and I heat embossed it with black embossing powder. 

To finish, I fussy cut the word LOVE, I foam mounted it on the card and I stamped in black the rest of the sentiment.


Since I was little, I have always had a cat at home. Currently we have three! Most of my friends also have a cat or a dog. We know very well that they are not eternal and that it is always very painful when they leave us. A card does not replace them but it brings a little comfort in these painful moments.

For my second card I also uses the Scattered Polka Hearts stencil to make the background with a light pink ink. On white card stock I stamped two hearts in pink from the BIG & BOLD set and the heart from the Paw Prints set in red. 

To finish, I stamped the sentiment from the Paw Print Hearts set, I fussy cut the hearts and I foam mounted them on the card.


For my last card I wanted to use the cat from the recent Uniko January release:  Mid Century Modern Purrfect Day and I combined it with the other two sets.

It's a One Layer card since I directly stamped all the elements on the card base. I started by stamping the paw prints in grey as well as the silhouette of the cat. Then I stamped the little hearts in red.

For the sentiment I used some masking tape. I first stamped the heart in red, I masked it and I stamped the "L" of the word. Then I shifted a bit the stamp to finally stamped the rest of the word. 

And that's all for me today. I really enjoyed making these cards and I hope I inspired you to use and combine your Uniko's products. You will be surprised how versatile they all are !

Have a lovely day and thank you so much for stopping by.
