MOD Circles HB2U

Happy Thursday.

I'm finally back with a new card to share. 

Well, it's actually a card I finally got round to finishing! I stamped this panel during this video HERE when I introduced the Background Block MOD Circle Builder.

I went ahead and added some colour using some Stampin' Blend markers and then the panel sat on my desk. I simply couldn't decide how to finish the card or what sentiment to add.

Today I settled on adding HB2U using Alphabet Solid stamped in black, fussy cut and adhered using foam adhesive.

I think finishing this card has given my creative mojo a little boost, so hopefully I will have more to share in the coming days.

Introducing... Mid Century Modern Florals & Mid Century Modern Background Blocks I & II

Hey!

Welcome to Day 1 of the April / May 2019 Release product introductions.

I've been waiting for this day for AGES and now this is the fun part where myself, my guest designer and the design team get to show you LOTS of inspiration! You get to see all the sneak peeks I shared yesterday in action on cards & projects over the next few days leading up to 5th May, Release Day! 

I decided it was time to shake things up, find inspiration from my BA (Hons) Degree routes and  live up to my brand name - Uniko...

Today we are introducing a collection of three stamp sets that are inspired by the Mid Century Modern design movement (1933 - 1965). You can read more about the movement HERE and this little collage of images shows the style and colours...

Here is a look at some of the projects I have made and I am sharing over on the website blog....

It wouldn't be a release without a daily blog hop full of inspiration! 

As usual my AWESOME Design Team and wonderful Guest Designer Jenny from Crafting in the Country have worked their magic with todays products, so be sure to hop along & see them...

Cure for the Monday Blues - Pattern Tastic!

Hey!

I think I'm back in the creative groove, it's been a while since I dedicated a block of a few hours to sit and create and I've missed it! I've been working hard creating samples to share with you for the ever approaching February Release and also creating projects for the two classes on Saturday at The Paperlane. There is one space left in each class see the Classes & Demo page HERE for the details.

Anyway, I found a little time to squeeze in a card for the newest challenge in town called Cure for the Monday Blues & hosted by the awesomely talented & very creative DT member Taheerah. Be sure to stop by Taheerah's BLOG for all the details.

This week the inspiration is THIS pattern tastic inspiration photo...

Now I couldn't resist joining in with this one! I instantly reached for my loved but neglected Background Builders: Chevrons set to start this card stamping it repeatedly in black ink onto a rectangle of white CS. I then used my Spica at you pens to add a splash of colour. 

Before adhering the rectangle on an angle to the base card I stamped the base card with the grunge circles from Background Builders: Round In Circles and added a die cut star stamped with a sneaky peek of a new set coming your way very soon! 

Ok, that's all from me today, there is much inking & stamping to be done! Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today :)

Hey!

Hey Everyone!

Today I have another scheduled post & a simple floral card to share with you all...

I've used a mix of Uniko Studio stamp sets on this card. I started out by stamping a Wonderful Washi ribbon down the side of a white card base using Smokey Shadow ink. I then stamped the 'Hey!' sentiment on to a white piece of CS and die cut it using a Sizzix circle die post stamping, so that I could position the sentiment to leave room to adhere a cluster of leaves & flowers from Natures Treasures 1 and Flower Power #2.

Thats all from me today & thank you for stopping by :)

Supplies

Card Stock: White from stash

Ink: PTI Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise & Smokey Shadow. SU! Orchid Opulence

Stamps: Uniko Studio Natures Treasures 1, Flower Power #2, All Occasions Sentiments #2 & Wonderful Washi

Pattern Mixing...

Hey!

Happy Monday, I hope your week has got off to a good start. Things have here in the studio with NEW soon to be released product entering the studio! 

You'll get a little peek at one of the April Release products in use if you stop by the blog tomorrow & if your in the North East why not pop by The Paperlane on Saturday, you'll be able to see the NEW product it action & even purchase it 3 weeks early! 

Anyway, onto todays card, a new trend in fashion is to mix patterns & this is exactly what I've done on this masculine birthday card...

There is definitely A LOT going on on this card and it kinda has a retro feel to it. It's FUN to play about with scraps of patterned paper & a variety of stamps! I used some KaiserCraft scraps from their Shaken Not Stirred Collection which created the colour theme for the card. 

I started out by paper piecing the label frame on a separate piece of white card stock & cut it out. Before I adhered the paper pieced label to the base card, I stamped the label on the base card and stamped the circles, spots & stars so I knew how they'd look & be once the label was in place.

That's all I have to share with you today, it's a busy time here in the studio with lots of exciting things in the pipeline! 

Hope to see you tomorrow & thanks for stopping by today.

Runway Inspired

Hey!

Now, being a Surface Pattern & Stamp Designer and having done & achieved a First Class Honours in Textiles & Surface Design I often look to the Runway & Fashion to see the latest trends emerge and for inspiration. 

I can't believe that this is my first Runway Inspired Challenge entry! I've wanted to participate for ages and this week I got my self organised and had a go...

Below is the Runway Inspired photo...

As you can see from my card I was inspired by the yellow! I used the hint of blue in the strip across the top and also the bold white lines of the top. I used the neutral shoe colour for the base of my card.

In hindsight I wish that I had heat embossed the flower in white so that the lines stood out more against the yellow, but thats the beauty of hindsight. Be sure to checkout the Runway Inspired Challenge HERE.

That's all I have to share with you for today, I'll be back again tomorrow with more to share. Thanks for stopping by.
