I'm SO happy you've stopped by the blog today as today is March 2014 Design Team Blog Hop. As we've quite a few new followers here, ("Hello & Thank you") I will explain what's going on!
Here at Uniko Studio I currently only release new products every other month. This is for a number of reasons, firstly, being an avid paper crafter myself and knowing the current economic climate I know 'some' are on a limited budget when it comes to buying new stash, so this way you're not tempted to splurge too much every month. The second reason is that it is just me here at Uniko Studio HQ. I currently run this little business single handedly, designing, blogging, demoing, classes, packing etc, etc. so releasing every other month gives me chance to keep my head above water, well, just about!
So, on the in-between release months the Design Team & I take a look back at a previously released product, dust it off and give it some love! This month I decided to dust off the previously released Background Builders: Round In Circles clear stamp set which was released HERE back in April 2013.
This set also has a co-ordinating Digital Patterned Paper Collection...
Geometrics still seem to be trending throughout the paper crafting world and they are also FABulous to use for all those hard to make masculine cards.
Here are a couple of old FAVES using the set & digital collection...
How about a new card using this set...
For this card I decided to make a masculine birthday card. The current Color Throwdown challenge colours seen HERE and below are perfect for a masculine card.
Here's a close up of the details...
To inspire you more there is a whole bunch of cards HERE on the Uniko Studio Background Builders: Round in Circles Pinterest board.
And how about some inspiration from the FABulous Design Team:
How about a GIVEAWAY...?
Simply comment along the hop for the chance to win the featured set PLUS the co-ordinating Digital Patterned Paper Collection or a Gift Certificate to the same value if you already own them. You have until Midnight Wednesday 14th May to comment and I will announce the winner here on the blog Thursday 15th May.
Happy Hopping!
Happy Hopping!
