Today is my birthday and as I turn 22 again 😜 I thought I would share a Flower Power birthday card & and I also have a discount code valid for 24hrs.
I had so much fun stamping this rainbow of Flower Power #7 flowers and yes, I did fussy cut them out to create a fun cascade down my card front.
The sentiment is a combination of a partial stamp of the HAPPY from You Are Sentiments Outlined, which I have coloured using a black fine liner. The birthday part of the sentiment is from Birthday Sentiments. I adhered both sentiments with foam adhesive. To finish the card I added Dandelion Yellow Nuvo Drops to the centre of the flowers.
Now onto the Birthday discount code...
That's all from me today. I am probably enjoying chocolate Mickey Waffles with The Beans as you read this and then off to a local Titanic exhibit. Oh and there will be cake of course 😂
It's always a good day in The Studio when a bunch of restocks arrive 😊 and today is that day! A few of these clear stamp sets have been out of stock for a while - my apologies for that.
I feel like things are getting back to 'normality' and I am able to spend more of my day in The Studio now that The Beans are back at school, I finally have more time to start investing and restocking again. However, I am taking things slowly and at a speed I can manage, it's just me here in The Studio! Plus I always want to bring you new stuff too!!
I've had a few emails about when Designer Dies will be restocked, so to hopefully answer some future emails I will post here! I will be restocking dies, but I don't currently have a date as to when this will be, my apologies for this I know you love dies and it's frustrating when they're out of stock.
Uniko dies are manufactured in the US, so along with this factor and the pandemic, they are also a BIG investment for a small business like Uniko. With not attending any craft shows since October 2019, plus being closed to orders during lockdown in 2020 due to the pandemic, I have had to decide what to feed Uniko funds into and currently my decision is for restocking stamps, stencils and new releases of these products. I hope you understand my decision and believe me, it isn't easy making them.
Anyway, lets have a look and see what clear stamp loveliness is lining the Uniko shelves again...
I'm excited for these stamps to be back, a selection perfect for those masculine cards needed for Fathers's Day and the Gerbera Daisy perfect for all those Summery cards!
I hope there is something back in stock that you've been waiting for. If you have emailed me about a particular restock, they're on the list for the next batch in June.
Before I go today, it's my BIRTHDAY and I'm 21 again - haha! So in celebration I have a discount code AND a selection of birthday products are on SALE.
Ok, it must be time for cake now! Have a lovely day and weekend 😊
My apologies for my disappearance just before & over Christmas. I simply took on too much and got totally overwhelmed before Christmas with how much I needed to get done and then Christmas Day came & went! I have since been enjoying some much needed downtime with The Beans & my husband.
This is a little snapshot of our Christmas Day!
I hope you all had a lovely day even though it may have looked different this year under the circumstances.
As 2020 draws to a close, one of the strangest and another of the hardest years in my 41 years of life, I am looking not to what was bad or hard, but to all that I am grateful for.
I am grateful for...
good health
my family
to have a roof over my head
for my business
FOR YOU ALL HERE
Thank you for your continued support & custom at Uniko and sticking with me during one of the toughest years. This card is for YOU ALL.
Today after clearing a walk way and an area on my desk, I made time for me in the studio to create this simple one layer thank you card. Apart from the smaller thank you stamps and one which is on the retired shelf, I think I *need* to design some larger thank you sentiment stamps ;)
Though having Alphabet Outlined is proving to be very useful to spell out larger words, which is what I did for todays card. I paired it with the flower from You Are, Yes You and simply coloured with Copic Markers.
That's all my creativity I have to share with you today, but before I go and maybe pour myself a large glass of gin, I have a little discount code for you to use on the Uniko website.
THANK YOU once again for all your support & custom. Cheers to a New Year with LOTS more exciting Uniko products to come your way. Nothing, not even Covid 19 is going to stop me from bringing you more FUN and inspiration.
Today I am sending you some happiness, good health and sunshine wishes your way. I know that all around the world we are struggling to deal with the craziness of everything. Stay strong, listen to your government guidelines and spend some time creating to take your mind off it all.
I thought I would pop by to tell you about a Uniko feature in the newest issue of Die-Cutting Essentials that came out on Thursday.
I am super excited to share a little peek at the feature I did for the magazine using the newest Uniko Designer Dies Kindness Blooms collection. This collection of dies coordinate with the previously released Kindness Blooms clear stamp set and were released last month during our 8th Birthday celebrations.
This is my favourite card I made for the feature. One because it was super fun to make and two it shows most of the dies in the collection AND it also shows how the tiniest die in the collection can be used in a different way to create a fun background.
Yes, I really did use the tiny circle die to die cut all those individual holes in the background! I've also used both the solid flower die combined with the detail loopy flower die combined with the coordinating stamps. All the details and instructions for this card can be found inside the magazine. You can buy the magazine online HERE.
I've not managed to create anything new with this clear stamp set just yet, but I hope to this week if time allows. However, I did receive this beautiful card through the post this past week from a lovely customer, Anne S, who is clearly enjoying combining the stamps and dies.
It makes my day to see customers and friends finding enjoyment and creativity using the products I design. It inspires me to create and gives me new ideas of how to use them! It delighted me even more to receive this prettiness in the mail, which I will display in the studio. Thank you Anne :)
One last thing before I sign off for the day, it's been a long one as I've not been sleeping well these past few days. Like most I am sure with all that is happening and on our minds.
Paper crafting, stamping, die cutting and making hand made cards is a wonderful therapy and distraction to all that is going on. So I thought that whilst Post Offices remain open here in the UK I would give you all a little discount code to use to treat yourself to something from the Uniko store.
Use Code happyspring10 during checkout.
Plus, with receiving the news yesterday that Happy Stampers Festival will not be going ahead at the end of April I have a lot of inventory and I am in need to create some space in the studio!
Thank you in advance for your support and custom. Each and everyone of you is truly appreciated.
Wishing you all a wonderful day with whoever you are celebrating with today and this holiday season.
I wish those with loved ones far away or passed, that you find comfort in the memories you have and share them with those you have with you, so that their memory lives on.
This is one of my favourite makes this year for the Christmas cards. So I thought I would share it with everyone again, wishing I had the time and money to send each and everyone of you one in the post.
But as I can't, how about a little gift for you all instead...
