Officially Introducing... Falling Hearts Serenade, Everyday Love Sentiments and Stencil - Bokeh Layering Hearts

 




Welcome to the final day of product introductions for our 11th Birthday Release. 

Today myself and Brand Ambassador Steph are 'officially' introducing three products that will now be available on the Uniko website after being launched on the How To Craft Network (HTCN) back at the end of January. 

If you missed watching me on the HTCN you can catch up HERE and see the inspiration I shared using the products. 

So let's have another look at these in action...










Are you totally loved up seeing these. Oh, the possibilities from Weddings, Anniversaries, Just Because and of course Valentine's Day. I am sure you would think of even more occasions.

So that's it, that wraps up all the introductions for this release. It might be small, but it packs a creative punch and we are excited to reveal them all tomorrow at 9am GMT with our usual Blog Hop and Giveaway. 

Hope to see you then.

Introducing... Hoppy Easter and Everyday Spring Sentiments

 


Welcome to Day 2 of the product introductions for our 11th Birthday Release. 

Today myself and the Brand Ambassadors are showcasing two clear stamp sets, Hoppy Easter and Everyday Spring Sentiments.

As you know, I don't really draw cute images, but I was loving the Mid Century Modern Meow with the solid and outline cat images, I decided to do a bunny version. It's not Mid Century Modern styled, but it's my version of cute, I guess you could say! 

Let's HOP along with the Brand Ambassadors and see these sets in action...

Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Masculine Birthday Cards

 Bonjour !

Izzy here, I hope that you are enjoying all the great Grand Prize Giveaways and the fabulous discount that Bev is offering to celebrate the 11 years of Uniko.

To go on with the celebration, I made two masculine birthday cards. If you are like me, I always struggle when it comes to make a masculine card but fortunately some colour combos help a lot.

For my first card, I used two stencils, Balloon Bash & Party Confetti that I combined together,  as well as the Big & Bold Happy bundle.


On a white card stock I first blended the blue/green inks through the Balloon Bash stencil to make the balloons shapes, then I placed it back and I layered the Party Confetti stencil and I blended the same inks on top.

For the sentiment, I die cut the Happy word in a metallic paper and I stamped in black the birthday word. I also added the black thread with a fine black liner.

To finish my card, I stamped this image on a teal card stock and I stamped the little circles that come from the Big & Bold Happy stamp set.

For my second card, I used two stamp set from the last release, Background Blocks Linear and Mid Century Modern Frames.


I kept this one very simple and I get inspired here by the colours of the last challenge at Color Hues. 
So I simply stamped the lines on a white piece of card stock and I coloured some parts with lime and cyan markers.

Then on another piece of card stock I stamped one of the frames together with a sentiment and I also coloured it with the same markers.

To finish this card, I flat adhered this panel on a double white card and I fussy cut the frame and I foam mounted it on the card.

That's all for me today. And don't forget you still have time to join in either the Grand Prize giveaways (HERE and HERE) and/or the Linky Party.  

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

BA inspiration: Balloon Bash and Mid Century Modern Squares

Hello friends!

Good Morning and Hope you all are well!

Vinita here with my first inspiration post. As you all know it's Uniko's 11th Birthday this month. So be sure to join the linky party here to win a Uniko Prize  £25 eGift Certificate!

A Birthday card with Uniko Birthday Balloon Bash clear stamp set. This is such a fabulous set I can't get enough of it! So here is my card:

I started on a white panel using Uniko - Mid Century Modern Squares stencil. First I inked it with various yellow shade inks and then again placed the stencil over the yellow design as shown in the pic using red ink.

And outlined the image using a black pen shown in the above pic.

Stamped a balloon image and fussy cut it, adhered it with foam tape. I added a string from the same set. And completed it with a large wish sentiment from Uniko Big & Bold- Wish stamp and die set.

This stamp set makes it so easy to create! What do you think?

So, guys, there is still some time to join, would love to see what you all come up with!

Happy crafty hugs!
Vinita
