Snowflakes & Flourishes!

Hey!

Happy Monday, I do hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was a fabulous one here in the studio with the October Release, if you missed it you can still catch up on all the fun HERE and there is still time to comment along the hop & be in the chance of winning the entire release.

Ok, so the Stunning Snowflakes are back (sorry), I don't think they've made it back onto the shelf yet!

This time I paired them with FONTiment Fancies - Swirls & Flourishes and I think they go together perfectly. 

I saw the current colours over on Dynamic Duos HERE and seen below and thought I'd use them of my card. Purple is not a colour I reach for often, but when I do I really like the results.

Short & sweet from me today, as I've lots to do thanks to all the lovely customers who have visited Uniko Studio over the weekend THANK YOU :) I'll be back tomorrow with more to share, until then thanks for stopping by today.

Flourishing Beautiful Blooms

Hey!

Happy Monday, it was a gloomy start here but the sun has finally broken through the clouds and just in time for me to walk to the Post Office to post some lovely orders  - thank you! 

I have a CAS card to share with you today which is one I had made whilst demoing at The Paperlane but left behind so I made it again this afternoon but with a different colour combination...

I have neglected some what FONTiment Fancies - Swirls & Flourishes so decided on Saturday it was time to show it some LOVE! I've used the flourishes on a similar card HERE but decided they would pair nicely with Beautiful Blooms I. 

I used the current Dynamic Duos challenge colours seen HERE and below and simply stamped the flourish twice before re-inking to achieve the lighter shade of green.

Another short & sweet post from me today, but I hope you've enjoyed the eye candy today & I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by & enjoy your day :)

Getting Fancy with FONTiments!

Hey!

Welcome back to the blog & to the Uniko Studio product focus theme. Today I am focusing on 2 stamp sets, FONTiments - Birthday & FONTiment Fancies Swirls & Fourishes...

How about a few NEW projects using these 2 stamp sets ...

My first card uses the current iSpy Sketch HERE and seen below and the current The Play Date Cafe challenge colours seen HERE and below.

My next 2 cards are simple watercolour backgrounds with statement sentiments taking the focus along with the lovely colours. Another couple of quick and easy cards to make into a gift set in an array of colours...

Now for a few goodies but oldies to inspire you...

I hope I've inspired you to look back at stamps sets you haven't used for a while & at how you can use them differently either following a challenge or creating just for fun. 

Thanks for stopping by today & enjoy the rest of your day!

Sometimes ...

Hey!

Sometimes things just don't go to plan, thats applies both to my week so far & this card that I have to share with you today...

For this card I used the current challenge over on 'Less is More' which is to use their blog logo as inspiration ...

When I first saw the challenge and looked at the logo I had planned to make a card using Kraft, White & Black but ended up using Soft Stone & Black instead! I concentrated on the Flourishes in the logo & the Fancy Script so I used FONTiments - Birthday & FONTiment Fancies Swirls & Flourishes.

Lets hope the remainder of my week goes to plan as we're off to the British F1 this weekend & are camping in this crazy British weather! I'm packing for all the seasons we may encounter, I just hope I can fit it all into the car! 

I'll still be here on the blog with some scheduled posts so be sure to pop on by. Thanks for stopping by today.

Hugs

The Uniko Studio Saturday Show!

Happy Weekend!

I'm back today to share a few cards that I have spotted around blogland that use Uniko Studio stamps in such FAB ways!

First up is Pauline ...

Just look at this pastel beauty using Background Builders - Lattice, it looks good enough to eat! I love that Pauline has combined 3 of the lattice designs to build a background too. Pauline is also the creator of this next beauty ...

Lovely PINK doily goodness on this card! Love the die cut decorative edge too, it works lovely with the largest doily pattern.

Next up is Ardyth ...

I just love the large graphic flower embossed in glossy black against the rainbow background, stunning! Must get me some black glossy embossing powder!

How about some FONTiment Fancies - Swirls & Flourishes paired with FONTiments - Birthday? Just look at this CAS design from Sue in such a classic colour combo ...

Camilla has WOWed me again with this card using Background Builders - Lattice a clock face from  Extra Time & the graphic flowers from Time ...

I love the colour combo plus how Camilla has cut out the Lattice panel, FAB! Camilla also has this beauty in her Flickr account ...

Hearts & Doilies a perfect combination! 

Thank you ladies for creating such loveliness using Uniko Studio stamps! I LOVE to see what you all create so don't forget to drop me an email or link via the comments to your creations! 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Colourful Swirls & Flourishes

Hello!

Today I have a colourful one layer card to share with you. I used the current colours over at ColourQ which I really enjoyed using. Here are the colours ...

I don't own Soft Sky so I substituted it for Pool Party which is a very close match. Here is how I used the colours ...

I used Swirls & Flourishes from FONTiment Fancies & paired it with 2 small doilies from Decorative Doilies - The Hands of Time & also a sentiment from FONTiments - Birthday. A few tiny rhinestones added a bit of sparkle! 

I hope your all having a lovely weekend & find some time to get inky! Thanks for stopping by today.

Pink!

Hello!

Today I have a pink number to share with you all. I thought it would break the manly theme thats been on the blog the last few days!

For this card I used the solid butterfly brush from Joyful Butterfly and printed it onto pink CS. I then added some Hero Arts Prisma glitter to it to make it sparkle. I then stamped one of the Lattice designs from Background Builders Lattice and coloured it with a Copic trio of pinks. The 'Happy' and the 'Birthday' is from FONTiments - Birthday. The flourishes are from FONTiment Fancies - Swirls & Flourishes. 

A lovely girly CAS card! Thats all from me today, thanks for stopping by!

May Sneak Peek 1

Hey!

I'm SO happy you have stopped by the blog today, I have a little Sneak Peek to share with you of a NEW digital download collection which will be available on the website Monday morning at 9am GMT. So, without further ado here it is ...

What do you think? Are you looking forward to seeing more of this collection on Monday?! Not long to wait! Until then I do have a card to share with you all today...

I thought FONTiment Fancies - Swirls & Flourishes needed a little inky love! I started off by marking out the centre of the card panel with a light pencil line. I then stamped the top flourish, sentiment and then rotated the flourish stamp and stamped it again to frame the sentiment from FONTiments - Birthday. 

I then used Memento London Fog ink to stamp the Lattice. I used a Copic marker BG07 to colour the middle section of the Lattice. A few rhinestones finished the card off. A simple card which can be switched up for different occasions. I think this could be a stylish yet elegant Wedding card.

Thats all I have to share with you all today, be sure to pop by tomorrow for the next Sneak Peek! Thanks for stopping by!

Feeling Fancy!

Hey!

I'm back today with some 'Fancy' cards to share! Continuing with my daily focus on a NEW Uniko Studio product, today I have focused on Fontiment Fancies - Swirls & Flourishes. As the name of the set goes it pairs well with Fontiments - Birthday, so it only seemed right that I used those too! 

The stamps in this set are great for creating fancy frames for sentiments! As you can see in the card below.

There is a lot of white space on this CAS card, but using bright colours to stamp the flourishes with a bold black sentiment really draws your focus to this part of the card. 

This next card also has quite a bit of white space, but I decided to mat the stamped piece onto a coloured card base for that added colour splash! 

For this card I used one of the larger flourishes & one of the medium swirls. Another sentiment mix from Fontiments - Birthday. I should have finished the inside of the card & when I do I will stamp the sentiment 'it's your birthday'. 

For this last card I used the large bracket stamp. First of all I cut a panel the same size as my card front & marked the centre before I stamped the bracket 3 times. I then cut the panel following the contours of the bracket. 

I then stamped the cluster of swirls & flourishes and another sentiment combination from Fontiments - Birthday. Now, that I am looking at this card as I type it has sparked another card LO using the same stamps! 

As you can see there was a bit of a colour theme going on! I came across The Play Date Cafe's current challenge HERE. Such a bright & cheery colour combination I decided to play along! 

That's all I have to share for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with another product focus and cards to share! Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs!
