Simply Cards & Papercraft Feature Plus FREE Digital Downloads.

Hello & Happy FriYAY 🎉

Earlier this week I was delighted to receive my copy of Simply Cards & Papercraft issue #244 in the mail. I am always excited to see Uniko in print and again I have designed a fabulous collection of FREE digital images for you all to use.

If you love Uniko's Paradise Collection as much as me, then I think you will enjoy this Tropical Bouquets digital collection too.

Here is a peek at the feature in the magazine and a full look at one of the cards I have made for the feature using the images. 

The FREE Digital Collection can be downloaded by visiting CraftWorld HERE. I hope you enjoy using them and if you are on social media, please tag @unikoltd so I can see them or why not join Uniko's Facebook Group Uniko Ltd and share your makes in there. 

And how about a little Giveaway. 

I've an extra copy of the magazine to give to one lucky comment left on any of Uniko's posts across all social media, sharing the news about this collection. So if you follow Uniko on Instagram and Facebook as well as the blogs, you have even more chances to win! 

Simply leave a comment before midnight Friday 19th May 2023 and I will randomly select a winner and announce Monday 22nd May 2023.

Featured In.... Simply Cards & Papercraft Magazine!

Woohoo!

I'm super excited to pop by this evening & tell you about another little feature I have in a magazine. This time it is with Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine and I have designed some FREE downloadable digital stamps for you to use :)

Can you spot a trio of the cards on the lower right of the front cover?! 

One trends that is still going strong in the papercraft industry (and others) is the Tropical theme. Currently the focus of the trend is more on the leaves & foliage rather than the tropical blooms. So, I used this, along with my previously released Tropical themed clear stamp sets, Paradise, Paradise Humming Bird & Paradise Leaves to create some digital stamps.

Here is a look at the collection of stamps available for download from Simply Cards & Papercrafts Magazine website HERE.

And here are a couple of the cards I have made using the digital stamps which are featured in the magazine...

On this first card I have used just the FREE digital stamps. I enlarged the background stamp to fill a panel of white card & used my Copic Markers to colour the leaves in. The sentiment is then sized to layer across the background on a separately printed panel & I added some foam adhesive for dimension.

For this second card I used the large tropical leaf background again, but this time I erased the top section of the background. I've then added Bob the Toucan from Paradise clear stamps & a Father's Day sentiment from Simply Said clear stamps.

For all the details & more samples using the FREE digital stamps, be sure to grab yourself a copy of the magazine from the Simply Cards & Papercrafts website or in the UK most leading supermarkets, Hobbycraft & WH Smith stock the magazine.

Please note that these digital stamps are only available to download HERE from Simply Cards & Papercrafts website. They are not available for download from Uniko. 

Enjoy & thanks for stopping by!

Hey!

It's a miserable rainy October day here in the NE of the UK, but I have some news which has brightened my day & hopefully yours too! 

I'm super duper excited to share my latest digital stamp collection and feature in Simply Cards & Papercrafts...

Yep, along with 2 releases in a row and the NEW Uniko Stencils, I've been busy again behind the scenes here at Uniko and designed this collection of 5 digital stamps. See them featured in Simply Cards & Papercrafts issue 169. The issue is out and available to buy today from most leading supermarkets and shops who sell magazines.

The digital collection is available to download HERE. 

You might recognise some of these images from now retired Uniko clear stamps, but I have revised them slightly and refreshed them. I've also added in some current Uniko imagery along with a fun new curved holly design, which I have used on one of my cards featured in the magazine.

I hope to share a few more projects using this collection soon, but in the mean time I'd LOVE to see what you create if you download and use the collection. Please email photos of your projects to bev@uniko.co.uk and say if you are happy for me to share them here on the blog too! Or #unikoltd on Instagram or Facebook.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the freebie!

CAS Colours & Sketches #190

Hey!

Karen is our hostess this month over at CAS Colours & Sketches and this week is sketch week. Karen  has this sketch HERE and seen below for you to try...

I hope my curve is curvy enough for you Karen! Karen wants to see a defined curve to your cards this week ;)

So this is what I came up with...

You may have seen my earlier post today, HERE. I have designed a digital stamp collection for Simply Cards & Papercrafts, available for download for FREE HERE. 

So as you can see I decided to use one of the images again for my card! I scaled the image down slightly and changed the orientation a little as I copied and pasted it into a document to create my own patterned paper. I then coloured it with Copic markers and die cut a curved edge using my Mama Elephant Dies. 

Ok, that's all from me today! I hope I have inspired you to give the sketch a go and join in on the challenge this week. Be sure to stop on over HERE and check out what the rest of the CAS Colours & Sketches DT have done using the colours and I hope to see you in the gallery.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Uniko & Simply Cards & Papercrafts!

Hey!

Argh, so much for getting back into a routine, first one of the playgroups is cancelled this week AND then I end up with a stinking cold, with two crazy 2 year olds running riot! 

Anyway, you might have seen me share this on Facebook the other day...

Yep, Uniko is featured in Simply Cards & Papercrafts again, and this time I have designed a lovely floral digital stamp collection. The issue is out and available to buy today from most leading supermarkets and shops who sell magazines.

The digital collection is available to download HERE.

For those of you unable to locate or purchase the magazine here is a peek at the feature...

AND how about a close up of a couple of the cards I made using the digital stamps...

I hope to share a few more projects using this collection soon, but in the mean time I'd LOVE to see what you create if you download and use the collection. Please email photos of your projects to bev@uniko.co.uk and say if you are happy for me to share them here on the blog too! 

I'll be back again later today with my CC&S Design Team card. Until then, thanks for stopping by and enjoy the freebie!

Simply Cards & Papercrafts!

Hey!

Sorry I have been MIA over the past few days, though it seems like weeks as time is just not slowing down. I've been hit by the bugs again this past weekend, I think it's been a combination of playgroups with the beans and working all the hours once they are in bed! 

March already, how did that happen?! Though it's good as it means Spring here in the UK is only a couple of weeks away - YAY! 

You may have seen this photo that I shared around social media towards the end of last week...

I was asked by the lovely Aimes (Editor & Chief of Simply Cards & Papercrafts) if I would design a set of free digital stamps and create some projects. How could I refuse that offer?! 

I thought I would share a closer look at the feature in the magazine for those who are unable to purchase the magazine. Also because I have yet to find my creative energy this week :( I'm sure I will at some point as I have some DT stuff to catch up on ;)

Anyway, here is the feature...

You might recognise the bunny from the recently released Some Bunny clear stamp set. I had some more fun posing him in a birthday box and with some birthday balloons ;)

To download your freebie stamps be sure to visit www.papercraftmagazines.com I'd love to see what you create using them :)

Ok, that's all from me tonight, I think another early night is called for if I am going to shift this bug and annoying cough. I'll be back later this week with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by today.
