Mid Century Monday

Happy Monday.

I love a fresh new week and although I am super exhausted after a long weekend of travel and being at Crafterama Kent, which was amazing by the way. I am excited for a brand new week of inspiration AND a fun announcement on Wednesday. 

Last week before I went to Crafterama Kent I needed to fill a couple if spaces on display boards and one space was on my Mid Century Modern board. Here is what I chose to ink up...






Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder came back in stock recently and it was a delight to ink it up again. This set is more geared towards Christmas, but I love showing how my products can be used all year round.


I chose a super fun and colourful design, but one which took lots of masking! Thank goodness for a stamping platform to achieve a colourful look like this! 




This card made me happy when I'd finished stamping, so that's why I chose this sentiment and I completed the look with a sparkly bow.

That's all I have to share today, have a wonderful Monday.

Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Wednesday Wreaths

Morning all, 

Steph here today and for my Uniko Brand Ambassador post this month I thought I would focus on the Uniko Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder stamp set since we gave some love to the Uniko Mid Century Modern Baubles stamp set last month. 

On this card I have stamped the wreath outline twice, rotating a little between stamping, and coloured with alcohol markers. To this I added some stamped and fussy cut berries and bows. Finally I stamped the sentiment and adhered using foam pads. 

Here I have offset stamped the wreath using the outline and block stamps. I have added bows and berries stamped onto coloured card and shaded using alcohol markers. The sentiment has been stamped in blue and black ink giving and offset appearance. 

For my final card I stamped the wreath using the block stamp only and onto white card. This was fussy cut before holly leaves and berries were added. The berries also have glossy accents added. Finally I used a piece of green card to add the sentiment. 

I do love these mid century modern sets, there is so much possibility with them. I'd love to see what you are inspired to make and don't forget to tag Uniko in your projects too. 

Much love

Steph x

Uniko Birthday Mash-Up With Seven Hills Crafts - Part 2


Happy Friday & Happy Valentine's Day 💖

Welcome to part 2 of the Uniko Birthday Mash-Up with Seven Hills Crafts. If you missed yesterdays post   with the lovely Tara, owner of Seven Hills Crafts, you can catch up HERE

Today is my turn to bring the inspiration using some products from the Seven Hills Crafts website paired with something from Uniko. Here's what I chose...





If you know me, you know I love pattern. I couldn't resist these fun Geo Mod Stencils by Kristina Werner with Concord & 9th. All these fun elements just called my name. 




These elements scream 1980's to me and having grown up in the 80's they appeal to my inner child! I went for some bright colours for this first card using Sweet Pea, Fig and Oceanside. I then decided to add the striped elements in black.

To make it a mash-up I needed to use Uniko for the sentiment. I reached for the HAPPY from Everyday Love Sentiments and the Birthday from Birthday Sentiments.

I couldn't stop at just one card, so I made a second.




For this card I chose Pink Lemonade, Lilac and Sea Glass for my colours. I also decided not to layer the stencils exactly, like I did for the card above. 

These stencils really do give so many options as to how you layer the elements they contain. I wanted a few more flowers and some of the other elements that didn't fit on my card above.




Again I chose to ink the striped elements in black and this time I used the large birthday from Uniko's Mid Century Modern Birthday and the smaller happy from Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder.

That's not all from me today, be sure to check the Uniko Website Blog this afternoon for a card and I might just have a giveaway filled with LOVE 💖

 Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday and Merry Christmas Eve!


Vinita here! Did you see Uniko's Christmas release last month? I loved everything in it. I spent a whole day creating Christmas cards! I picked a few items from this release and mixed and matched them with old ones!



 
I started by stamping the mehendi mandala design in Jet black archival ink at the top corner representing the Sun in festive colors. I watercolored it with my brush pens. At the bottom corner, I stamped the solid Christmas tree in ombre green DI with its outline image using Jet Black ink.
Then, I added some gifts with a Merry Christmas sentiment. I colored the gifts using acrylic markers. I quickly applied some Bronze Perfect Pearls to the Christmas tree, gifts, and sentiment; it was all magic. The black ink turned into bronze, and I added some bronze splatters.

Here is a close-up image:




I hope I have helped with ideas. This is such a fun way to gift someone. 
Will come back again tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy crafting!

Rainbow Wreath

Happy Wednesday 😃

I'm here today to get you over the mid week hump with a Mid Century Modern beauty. This week Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder is the Card Of The Week product with 15% off HERE

This is the card featured on the website.





I couldn't resist inking it up today but in rainbow colours. It was quite grey and overcast here to start, but by the time I had finished this card the sun had come out. 





I used the same technique to create the rainbow of colours that I demonstrated in my video HERE the other day. I love how it turned out.




Once I had stamped the rainbow I then stamped the outline version of the wreath and heat embossed with Stardust EP. I gave the same sparkle treatment to the bow and sentiment also from the set which I fussy cut and adhered using foam tape.




That's all I have to share today, mummy duties have taken priority with a poorly Bean in the house. I'll be back later in the week with more to share.

Retro Hex Glitter Baubles

Happy Festive Friday 

Today I have a fun retro Christmas card to share with you. I had this idea last weekend at the Crafterama show in Lincoln. More so when I got my hands on these fabulous and super sparkly Funky Fossil Stellar Pastes.




I knew that I wanted to turn the Ink & Flip Geometric Hexagon Layering Stencil focal point into a bauble. Originally I wanted to create a fully pasted bauble, but due to the depth of the paste, on the flip pasting the line definition inside the design was lost.





So I went with the second option of glittering just one side of each bauble. The colours of pastes I chose are Party Dress and Icicle Dreams, which I thought would pair lovely with Honeysuckle and Oceanside.




Once the baubles were inked, pasted and dried I fussy cut them out. I decided upon the bow from Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder, along with one of the sentiments from the stamp set. I drew the bauble strings with a dark grey fine liner. 




It's not often I go for a DL site card, but I thought the size of the baubles worked better on this. What do you think? 

That's all I have for today, but I will be sharing more over the weekend.

A Little Bit of Sunshine

Hello & Happy Weekend! 

Well, it's no surprise really, but summer is yet to be seen here in the UK. The weather as usual has been pretty dismal today and I was in need of some cheer. So I took a break from working on the new website and squeezed in a little creative time to make this card...





I used the Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder before for sun rays and I liked the results, so I decided to use it again. I stamped the solid wreath twice in Buttercup and then Honeycomb, moving the wreath slightly for the Honeycomb colour. I then used the outline wreath and stamped it in Clementine ink. 




With the Cloud 9 Stencil coming back in stock recently I decided it was high time I inked it up again too. This time I wanted to create a kind of sunrise/sunset sky, starting off with some light pink, melon and lilac shades before going darker with Fig and Honeysuckle. I then added Powder blue over the sun rays to blur out the white background. 




To finish my card I added the sunshine sentiment from Spring Botanicals Daffodil. I then decided to go a little bit mix media and added some Gansi Tambi Starry Colour splats! 

That's all from me today, if you have sunshine, please send it to the UK!!

Uniko's Customer Top 10 of 2023 - Number 10

Hello & Happy Festive Friday 🎄

Apologies for being quiet round here this week, I have been gifted with an early Christmas sinus cold 🥴 and I've been resting amongst finishing last minute Christmas preparations. Hopefully I am over the worst and on the road to recovery, ready for 🎅🏻 

So while I've been resting, my brain hasn't and I thought it would be fun to see out 2023 with a little feature, Uniko's Customer Top 10 of 2023. 

I'm here today to kick things off. Coming in at the 10th most popular product of 2023 is, Stencil - MOD Background Builder.




This stencil joined us in October/November 2022 and was the first to feature this fun background building feature as well as providing an instant focal point. 

Even though there is an abundance of inspiration using this stencil, there is always room for more, so I squeezed in a little creative time to make this...




I set about a long task with a lot of masking to ink this in these beautiful Concord & 9th colours! But I think it was worth it as the result is so cheerful. 




Next was to decide on a sentiment and as I had Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder at hand I decided upon Happy Wishes. 

Thank you for stopping by & enjoy the inspiration during this often busy period. Remember it's okay to take time for you.

This week I am using Mid Century Modern Christmas. I have two cards to share in my post below and I will be making my 3rd during todays video. 

For my first card today I was totally inspired by this weeks challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches seen HERE and below. 





As soon as I saw the sketch I knew the triangle tree from Mid Century Modern Christmas would work perfectly. I wasn't sold on the colours, but I think I made them work.




The bow and Christmas part of the sentiment are from Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder and the wishes is from Birthday Sentiments.




My second card today I was inspired to pair Mid Century Modern Christmas with the Stencil - Layering Bauhaus Blocks. Yes, I am still enjoying this stencil & the creative possibilities.




This took a little bit of masking to use just 3 of the blocks from the stencil, but I think the masking was worth it for the results. I will explain what I did in todays video. 




My favourite number is 3 and I couldn't stop at just two cards, so I thought I would make a third during todays video HEREI hope you enjoy the video and don't forget you need to watch to find out about the giveaway and how to enter to be in the chance of winning.

Merry Monday BA Inspiration with Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder & BB Arts Décoratifs Christmas

 Bonjour !

Izzy here with my last cards to inspire you with the last release products. This time I used the Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder & the Background Blocks Arts Décoratifs Christmas sets.

Let's go with the Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder. I saw recently a video from Jennifer McGuire and she was using a 4-for-1 card technique to make beautiful and quick cards. Honestly this is really what I need when Christmas is too close and that I'm running out of time to make cards. She made this technique with stencils but I tried it with stamps and my MISTI.


I didn't make 4 cards because I was only able to put two pieces of white card stock in my MISTI at the same time. To help you to understand, the red/orange wreaths on both cards is only one stamping action. Same for the green one and for the gold outlines embossing.


To make the cards, I used Kaleidacolor inks so that it changes a bit of colours on each card. For the holly and the berries stamping, it was just about to place them in a corner and then turn the card to stamp them back. 



The only things that change from one card to the other, are the colours, the card bases and the sentiments (both coming from this set).

It was just a try but I finally loved how they turned out and I think I will use this technique in December!

For my third card, I combined the Background Blocks Arts Décoratifs Christmas together with the Background Blocks Arts Décoratifs that I used as background. I thought it was an original matching but I didn't know by that time that my team mates' had had the same idea. Anyway, I hope that it will still inspire you.


On a black double card, I stamped and gold heat embossed the background. And on a gold card stock I stamped in black the BB Arts Décoratifs Christmas. 



To make it pop up even more, I just added some colours to the trees and the stars. No sentiment needed as it speaks by itself.

Et voilà ! That's all for me with the Christmas cards. I hope that you have enjoyed the inspiration and thank you so much for stopping by.
