NEW Exclusive Launch - How To Craft Network

Hello & Happy Saturday! 

What a whirlwind of a week, thank you for the fabulous response to the New Release last Friday / weekend. I am so glad so many of you love the Mid Century Modern collection as much as I do. I am working hard to get the stamps back in stock as soon as possible. The Stencil - MOD Background Builders Circles flew off the shelves too, but that is now back in stock HERE.

I haven't forgotten the winner of the giveaway, I will announce the winner at the end of my post! Thank you for all the lovely comments, they are all much appreciated by myself and the team.

Now onto the other news, that I am a little late sharing, the other NEW and Exclusive Launch of 3 products over on the How To Craft Network (HTCN). 

Did you catch me live on YouTube yesterday? I saw a few names on the live comment feed, but I am still getting my head round focusing on demoing and then looking up at the cameras and feed! 

If you missed the show, you can catch up HERE. 

But I thought I would pop by and share a look at the NEW products here today too, so let's get to it! 

First up is Falling Hearts Serenade. 

I've had this series idea in my head since I released Snowflake Serenade! So it feels good to finally get going with it. 

Like the snowflake clear stamp set, it features a swirling cascade of hearts and roses. Along with a main sentiment and some mix and match sentiments. I also added in some individual accent hearts. 

A couple of fun coordinating features about this set to make it a little more versatile with Uniko products you may have in your stash. Firstly the rose. It's a lot smaller, has a curved stem and is a slightly less detailed. But it is a version of the closed rose from Pure Florals Rose. Second the sentiment font choices are carried through from Snowflake Serenade and the Spring Botanical series.

Next in the launch bundle on HTCN is a new sentiment set, Everyday Love Sentiments. You will recognise this font from our popular Everyday Sentiments and Christmas Sentiments. I think this is a great addition to the Uniko line up.

Lastly in the bundle is a stencil duo, Bokeh Layering Hearts. 

This stencil has a fun feature too, in that the hearts are the same shape as those from Background Builders Hearts, BIG & BOLD Love and Paw Print Hearts.

These are available to purchase HERE on the HTCN. They will come to the Uniko store, but not until late February. So if you want to be in the first to get them, don't miss the opportunity.

Now that I have formally introduced the newness and where you can purchase it, I thought I would share some of the cards I made for the show.

First up a clean & simple slimline card.

For this card I used the hearts & roses cascade to stamp down the length of the panel. I then simply heat embossed with star dust embossing powder for some beautiful sparkle. I then simply coloured with some Copic Markers. 

I kept the sentiment sparkle free and just popped it up with foam adhesive.

My second card is a little less clean and simple! 

For this card I used one of the stencils from Stencil - Bokeh Layering Hearts with the Falling Hearts Serenade.

I used Concord & 9th Ballet Slipper card as my base and inked blended around the edges a bit before inking the heart stencil. I then cleaned and flipped the hearts to ink again, creating this blur effect. 

I then stamped the cascading image and decided on the large love from Big & Bold Love which I also sparkly heat embossed.

Lastly, the card I demonstrated on the show...

I hope you like this new collection & the HTCN show! 

Ok, so how about the winner from the giveaway HERE. 

Without further ado, the winner is...

Sharon Gullikson 🎉
