September 2018 Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hey!

It's time for another Uniko Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY - Whoohoo!! For those of you who are new around these parts I will explain what this post is all about...

Here at Uniko HQ it is just myself behind the screen, blogging, designing, packaging stamps & orders through the Uniko online shop, customer service and all the things in between. I *usually* release new product every other month for a number of reasons, but mainly so I can keep up with everything!

On non - release months like this month I like to set myself and the Design Team a challenge to look back at a previously released product and give it some more love. 

Usually I choose just one product that was released the previous year or a once favourite that hasn't seen much air time. However, this time I couldn't decide on the product and as a team we randomly selected a stamp set and then I went a little polka crazy and added in some popular sentiment sets too...

Large Background Scattered Polka Dots

Large Background Scattered Polka Hearts

Simply Said Blocks

Simply Said Blocks II

Stencil Scattered Polka Dots

Stencil Scattered Polka Hexagons

These clear stamp sets and stencils are perfect for all sorts of backgrounds for all sorts of occasions that the Design Team will show you. They are a perfect addition to anyones crafting arsenal!

Anyway, lets see how the design team have been inspired to use the products and be sure to comment along the hop for your chance to win a Uniko £20 eGift Certificate. You have until Midnight (GMT) until midnight BST Saturday 22nd Sept 2018 to comment.

Happy Hopping!

CAS Colours & Sketches #276 - Sketch

Hey!

Welcome back to week 2 of June. This month at CAS Colours & Sketches and Wei is our hostess.  This week HERE Wei has a fun clean and simple sketch to spark your card making...

So many ideas for this sketch, but limited time meant that I went for the super quick option of creating a window for my sentiment and some simple stencilling. 

I used a MFT die to create the window and used the 'Sending Hugs' sentiment from Simply Said Blocks II. I then used my Uniko Scattered Polka Dot stencil to create a fun trio of coloured polka dots, moving the stencil slightly for each colour. 

That's all from me today, I hope thatI have inspired you to join in on the challenge?! If you need a little more inspiration, pop on over HERE to see what the CC&S Design Team have created.

Thanks for stopping by!

CAS Colours & Sketches #269 - Sketch

Hey!

I can't believe that this is the last challenge for April! This month our hostess is Karen and she has already inspired us with 3 fab challenges. This week is sketch week and Karen has come up with this FAB one to inspire you HERE and seen below... 

And here is how I decided to use this weeks sketch...

I've enjoyed dusting off some 'older' Uniko clear stamps these past few weeks and I happened to have Background Blocks: Scattered Polka Dots and Originally Organic Additions on my desk for other projects and thought they would pair nicely using the sketch.

The polka dot background is stamped in white ink onto a SU! Berry Burst panel, which I then trimmed and die cut a small circle. I then layered it with some white card slightly bigger to stamp the leaf sprig and flower from Originally Organic Additions. I added a little bit of bakers twine and foam mounted the panel to a white card base.

That's all from me today, I hope thatI have inspired you to join in on the challenge?! If you need a little more inspiration, pop on over HERE to see what the CC&S Design Team have created.

CAS Colours & Sketches #254 - Sketch

Hey!

Welcome back to another fun year of challenges at CAS Colours & Sketches. I look forward to seeing you join in on the fun and seeing your creativity in the gallery each week. 

Yay! I am your hostess for January, and as we are already into the second week of January we are starting things off HERE with a sketch...

This time I was hostess, I really wanted to keep my sketches as CAS as possible and open for interpretation. Feel free to flip or rotate the sketch as desired. 

Here's how I decided to use the sketch...

I've been having some fun recently using the Uniko Stencils that I released towards the end of 2017, as I feel I've not given them as much love as my Uniko Clear Stamps! As you can see today I decided to give the Scattered Polka Dot stencil so more love.

This time instead of blending a rainbow of Distress Oxide inks, I decided to do some clever masking and ink each individual dot with a different colour. Good job it was only a small section, as it was a little time consuming! 

I added a trimmed sentiment from Simply Said Blocks for my rectangle element and the 'you' is from the December Release Freebie (still a few available to add to purchases of £20 or more, before shipping costs and after any discounts have been applied). I then adhered the panel to a Lemon Lime Twist card base.

There are so many people that are inspiring me in my life right now, it'll be a tough decision as to who I send it to. I think I'll have to make a few more of this design and use some of the other stencil designs ;)

That's all from me today, I hope thatI have inspired you to join in on the challenge?! If you need a little more inspiration, pop on over HERE to see what the CC&S Design Team have created.

Thanks for stopping by!
