Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Balloon Bash Stencil
Welcome everyone!
Steph here today. After all the fantastic birthday celebrations for Uniko’s 10th birthday in February, I didn’t feel like stopping the celebrations just yet!
As I had the Uniko Balloon Bash stencil out, I decided to use this for my Brand Ambassador inspiration post. It is such a delightful stencil to use and you can create quick but stylish cards with it easily. I also focused on slimline cards for this showcase.
For my first card I have simply used one balloon shape and blended red, orange and yellow balloons in clusters up the card. I used watercolour card as I find it easier to blend on, and distress oxides which I prefer to the original distress inks. I have added a sentiment from Uniko Birthday Sentiments set and finished off with enamel dots.
I hope this has reinvigorated the birthday spirit for you and that you can see just how simple and effective the Uniko Balloon Bash stencil is. I love it!
Much love

Brand Ambassador Inspiration - CASEing using Fun Flowers
Hello!
I so enjoyed seeing all the Alumni CASEing their cards during February's birthday month that I decided to give it a go myself.
So I dug back in history to December 2016 and here's the first card I decided to bring bang up to date:
I always used to round the bottom right corner of my cards and have tried this again for both of my updated cards. What do you think?
I hope you have enjoyed this little trip down memory lane and encourage you to do the same - it's so fun looking back.
Thanks for looking today, it's been fabulous to have your company.
Stay safe and keep crafting!

Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Cards for Ukraine
Good afternoon, Julie here hoping to encourage you to spread a little bit of sunshine and support the people of the Ukraine at this sad time. The lovely Nancy of Color Hues and Seize the Birthday, has had the wonderful idea that Color Hues offer card makers, the chance to flood the internet with a show of solidarity with the Ukranian people with a mass of blue and yellow themed cards.
Nancy first saw the original idea on the Share Handmade Kindness FB group on Saturday by card maker Linda Eterno. After seeing the post, Nancy then contacted the Color Hues team as well as the ladies over at Seize the Birthday to ask if we would join in. So for their latest challenge they are doing something slightly different, a yellow and blue challenge running alongside their regular colour combo challenge.
All 4 of our special Uniko cards are really special. very clever use of the splatters stamp and excellent real splatters on your butterfly. I am always jealous of other people splatters! Thanks for all the inspiration xx
