Card Of The Week - Pure Florals Chrysanthemum

Happy FriYAY! 

I thought I would pop by and share a card using this week's Card Of The Week clear stamp set, Pure Florals Chrysanthemum.

This is my original card featured on the website...

And here is how I used the set today.

I love this flower, but I often don't have the patience to colour it! So I am always looking for fun ways to add colour. 

I came across THIS card on Pinterest and really liked the idea of adding a splash of colour with the sentiment strips over black & white stamped image. And I thought it would perfect with the Chrysanthemum.

I was going to use the sentiments from the stamp set, but knew I wanted three colours like my original card for the strips of card. So I had a look through my stash and came across the Sentiments Outlined and this sentiment was perfect. 

Shame I couldn't adhere them straight! Oh well, I still love how it came out. 

Don't forget that the Pure Florals Chrysanthemum is 15% off this week, until Monday morning when it'll change to a new product.

Also, did you see that a whole bunch of clear stamp restocks arrived yesterday and are now available on the website.

I know there are many of you waiting for the Christmas in July and August 2025 Releases to come back in stock. These are in my next batch due on 26th November. 

The best and quickest way to know when a product is back in stock is to sign up for the notify me when back in stock feature. This also helps me with ordering restocks.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Festive Friday Mid Century Modern Style Part 2 and 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways Day 8

Happy Festive Friday!

Today I am back with more festive Mid Century Modern Style Christmas cards and 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways Day 8.

Today I decided to ink up Mid Century Modern Baubles and share my quicker colouring tip. You can watch it HERE on my YouTube short. You know me, anything for a quick colour option! 

As you can see I went with some softer more pastel shades and it's funny as I seem to always reach for similar colours when using this stamp set. I must challenge myself to use some brights and traditional Christmas colours with these baubles! 

I've added a little dimension with adhering the upper bauble with foam tape and I also added a little bit of sparkle using a jelly pen.

Before I go, the giveaway. Be sure to leave a comment by 31st July 2025 for your chance to win this stamp set I've used on this card If you are the lucky winner picked randomly from comments left across Uniko’s social media and already own the products, an alternative will be offered. 

Winners will be announced first week of August 2025.

Simple Spotlight Saturday 💐

Hello & Happy Weekend, 

I planned on sharing this card yesterday, but due to some technical difficulties I wasn't able to edit my photos. Technical support obtained from my husband and I am back, just need him to sort all the others I have on my list - haha! 

Anyway, back to my card.

I still had Spring Botanicals Daffodil on my desk from my last card I shared using it HERE. I wanted another quick and cheerful colouring technique, so opted for the spotlight technique.

Here I trimmed a piece of printer paper to the size of my card panel. I then die cut 3 circles to use as a mask to ink through. You could choose any shape or even the Stencil -  Mid Century Modern Shapes is a good choice. 

I then inked with Clementine & Honeysuckle, Buttercup & Sprout, then Oceanside and Harbour inks through each circle. 

Once I was happy I stamped thee Daffodil and then added the Happy Mother's Day sentiment which is a mix of stamps from Everyday Love Sentiments and Everyday Spring Sentiments. A trio of Buttercup enamel dots finished the card for me. 

One for the Mother-in-law tomorrow!
