Introducing... Anniversaire Arts Décoratifs & B. Builders Arts Décoratifs

Hey!

Welcome to Day 2 of the February 2020 & 8th Birthday Release product introductions. If you missed day 1, be sure to catch up HERE.

Today myself and my awesome Brand Ambassadors are back to introduce two more clear stamp sets which continue the Art Deco theme. 

The first is a mini sentiment set called Anniversaire Arts Décoratifs. This set features celebratory sentiments in a 1920's font and also way of talking, from having a roaring good time, to drinking champagne and dancing on the tables to all the dazzle dazzle in between! 

The second is the latest addition to the Background Builders series of stamps. It's been a while since I added to this series & it is such a fun addition. The stamp set features 5 Art Deco styled building strips to create fabulous patterned backgrounds. 

Let's have a look at how these stamps can be used...

Hey & Happy Weekend!

Welcome to the first release of 2020, I have so many fun products in store for you this year and I am excited to share these 4 brand new clear stamp sets and re-introduce one returning from retirement.

*PLEASE NOTE:- To protect my designs and discourage the blatant theft of them, there is a watermark over the top of the product image. This makes the image appear that the lines are not solid. I apologise for the inconvenience and ensure you that this is not part of the design or physical stamps you will receive. To see what the stamp/s look like when stamped, please have a look at the samples in the product gallery. Thank you for your understanding*

Next up a new, but also not so new floral stamp set! Hello Lovely. This clear stamp set features the Peony design from the popular Pure Florals Peony clear stamp set. 

Instead of the large single peony blooms that are in the Pure Florals set, I have scaled them down and clustered them together to form this beautiful bouquet stamp. I have shared a comparison of the Pure Florals Peony stamps against this new stamp HERE on yesterdays introducing post.

This set is perfect for so many occasions and it's not just for those who love to colour too ;)

Lastly, but by no means least I re-introduce to you the previously retired, Always & Forever clear stamp set. This clear stamp set first debuted back in December 2013 HERE. This set was designed to coordinate with Beautiful Blooms I and now has so many more creative possibilities with the Uniko products that have launched since it retired!

Introducing... Background Builders Classics & Sentiments Outlined

Hey!

Welcome to Day 1 of the July 2019 Release product introductions.

I've been waiting for this day for AGES and now this is the fun part where myself, my guest designer and the design team get to show you LOTS of inspiration! You get to see all the sneak peeks I've shared over the past two days in action on cards & projects over the next few days leading up to 26th, July, Release Day!

Today's products are two new clear stamp set, another addition to the Background Builders collection, featuring classic designs and then a new mini clear stamp set featuring 3 fun sentiments in an outlined font.

Let's have a quick look at both sets in action on one card...

I've used nearly all of the Background Builders Classic clear stamps to create this fun and colourful background. I used my Misti to keep my stamps lined up nicely and evenly spaced apart, plus it was useful for the solid line stamps as I had to stamp them a couple of times. I desperately need some re-inkers for some of my favourite Altenew colours!

Once I had finished stamping, I decided to trim down the panel, adhering it to a strip of PTI Smokey Shadow CS and then onto my card base. I then placed the sentiment I wanted to use in my small Misti, but decided to mask off part of the sentiment to use just the word celebrate.

I saved the rest of the colourful stamped pattern, you can check that card out over on the website blog! Link below ;)

It wouldn't be a release without a daily blog hop full of inspiration! 

As usual my AWESOME Design Team and wonderful Guest Designer this month, Keren Baker have worked their magic with today's products, so be sure to hop along & see them...

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 :)
