It's been TOO long!

Hey!

Yes, I am still alive & kicking! I'm sorry I've been MIA as of late here on the blog, I've been busy behind the scenes working on the next release, designing & Oh Yes ... Wedding / Holiday planning! 

The date & location have been finalised for the Wedding & the Holiday has been planned & booked - YAY! Now, I can start planning the Wedding details like flowers, cakes and most importantly my dress! 

Anyway, I'll try not to over take the blog here with wedding talk too much! I'm back today & thought I'd share a few DT cards that have been around on blogland whilst I've been MIA...

How about this Bright & Cheerful Wonderful Washi/Time card from Amber...

I love the clock face peeping in from the lower left & the zesty colours. Check out more of Amber's creations on her blog HERE.

Next up are a few more Extra Time cards from Erika...

I love the CAS stamped oval - a shape I rarely use. The little detail stamp at the bottom is from Label Love: Thank you & works perfectly in the oval shape.

Erika has chosen my FAVE clock face from the set for her second card here. Love the scallops & 'POP' of red with the kraft on this card.

You can check out more of Erika's creations & FAB photography HERE on her blog.

How about another Wonderful Washi card? This time from DT member Stacey...

I LOVE the fresh colour combo on this card. The sentiment is from Label Love: Thank you and works perfectly on this card :) 

You can check out more of Stacey's creations HERE on her blog!

Wonderful Washi is BACK IN STOCK on the website HERE!! 

I have one more card to share with you from DT member Aimes...

Yum! Don't you just LOVE that lattice design? I love the elegance of black and white & the touch of silver adds that something special to the card. The Label & sentiment is from Label Love: Thank you & again works perfectly!

You can check out more of Aimes' creations HERE on her blog! 

OK, so that's all from me today, I hope to find a little crafty mojo this afternoon and make some cards to share with you all as there is still a few days until I start sharing Feb Release Sneak Peeks with you all!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Jam Packed!

Hey!

Happy Weekend! This is one jam packed Saturday here at Uniko Studio, firstly I am at The Paper Lane today in Northallerton, UK. Doing a Uniko Studio Clear Stamp Demo morning 10 - 2pm and also a class 2 - 5pm. 

If your out and about near Northallerton pop in & say 'Hello', I'd love to see you :) I'll do my best to remember to take some photo's this time to share with you all here on the blog!

Today, Uniko Studio is sponsoring & Guest Designing for Addicted to CAS you can see my project below and join in with all the fun HERE at the Addicted to CAS blog.

The challenge code word is.... Embossing and so I decided to do some heat embossing on my cards...

On this first card I stamped the solid Gerbera flower from Uniko Studio Pure Florals: Gerbera with Smokey Shadow ink onto Basic Grey CS. I then stamped the Lattice design over the top using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with Crystal EP.

Just look at that sparkle...

For my second card I used the same CS but switched the stamps and EP to White Detail! I started out stamping & embossing the individual chevrons from Uniko Studio Wonderful Washi: Christmas. The label is heat embossed with white detail onto Soft Stone CS, cut out and mounted onto the card using foam adhesive. 

All supplies are listed below! If you join in on the fun over at Addicted to CAS, you could win yourself some Uniko Studio goodies!

Along with all that I am super excited as this Paper Crafts magazine is out today...

Why, am I excited about this particular magazine? Well, Uniko Studio's TIME clear stamp is featured in this magazine and I can't wait to get my copy in the mail to see it!!

That's enough excitement for one day! If you missed the Design Team Blog Hop yesterday you can catch up on it HERE. There's a chance to win a Uniko Studio Extra Time stamp set so you might just want to check it out!

Thanks for stopping by & have a FAB weekend!

Design Team Blog Hop!

Hey All!

Welcome to the first Uniko Studio Design Team Blog Hop of 2013. With it being a New Year and nearly Uniko Studio's second year in business I decided to make a few changes and devise a plan, regular blog hops are part of that plan! 

I could be generalising but if you're a crafter like me you have to have the latest crafting item whether it be stamps, dies, patterned paper, gadget etc... Throughout the year you spend on your hobby and have a lovely array of stash use items a couple of times before your onto the next stamp, die etc and those previously bought items sit in boxes in your nicely organised crafting space until you have a specific project in mind. 

So, I get to my point... I set the Uniko Studio Design Team a challenge to dust of their Extra Time stamps and put them to use on a project or two...

Today Tomorrow & Always Extra Time £15.95 

Copyright Uniko Studio  2012-13

www.unikostudio.com

Extra Time was one of the Uniko Studio debuting stamp sets back in February 2012, it has a fun clocking in card which measures 6.4 x 9cm, a selection of clock faces which coordinate with a 1 3/4" circle punch, separate clock hands to stamp your own time on the clock faces and a abundance of sentiments! Use this set on it's own or pair it with TIME for even more possibilities!

This set is perfect for making cards for the men in your life and more. I joined in on the challenge, dusted my Extra Time set off to create this card...

Here's a couple of cards I've made previously using this set...

The next blog in the hop is the talented Aimes, if you find a broken link in the hop below is a hop list...

Ok, I'm hopping along to Aimes' blog HERE to see what magic she has whipped up using this set! Thanks for stopping by.

Thank You & A Happy New Year!

Hey!

I hope everyone had a FABulously Festive Season & Santa brought you all that you desire! I had a lovely few days with my hunny's family & ate rather a lot of yumminess! 

Today my Brother, SIL & Nephew are travelling up North to spend New Year at our house & Karl's Mam & Dad will join us for meals & celebrations so it will be a full house!

Yesterday, I squeezed in a little inky time in-between a few chores and made this little Thank You card...

I enjoyed making my last OL Christmas card HERE & didn't make many so I decided to make a BRIGHT cheery Thank You version. Time is limited and I've a few of these to send out! 

I also want to THANK YOU ALL for your support, custom & encouragement towards Uniko Studio & wish you all a lovely, happy & healthy NEW YEAR. 

See you all in 2013 for an even better year! 

Hugs
