March Meet The Maker - Favourite Collection

Happy Wonderful Wednesday.


Today on March Meet The Maker it's all about Favourite Collection. Now this is a little tricky, my favourites constantly change and well, I love everything I design! 

So far during March Meet The Maker I have given love to the products in the Organic series and I have also given a little love to the one of a kind Ink & Flip Stencils. So, it was only right that I let the Uniko Mid Century Modern Collection take the limelight today.









Whilst technically the Bauhaus design movement (1919-1933) was before Mid Century Modern (1945-1970), I've included them in the Uniko collection because, well they do work lovely together.

This collection is also a firm favourite with Uniko customers and often sells out quickly, I've had a recent rush on what *was* in stock, such as Mid Century Modern Florals which has had a flurry and sold out last week. 

With that, it is a collection I restock fairly quickly, more on that later though. Let's have a look at some of this collection in action, I've created a couple of cards using some of the products that are currently still in stock! 





I feel I've neglected the Stencil - Mid Century Modern Circle & Stars so chose that for some fresh inky love. As you know I love pink & orange together and so I chose to section off a little of the background to ink with Honeysuckle and then I placed the stencil and inked through with Marmalade to create this striking background inside the circle die.




I chose the Smile sentiment from Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments as this really does make me smile. And I finished with a few Marmalade enamel dots.

I had fun with circle die cuts that I created another fun card using more of a spotlight technique. I ink blended the stencil all over my base card using Blueberry, Fig and Grapefruit inks..




I then die cut circles from another layer before adhering using foam tape and finishing with another of the sentiments from Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments.




Along with making these new creations, I've been busy in the studio designing new products to expand this collection later this year and if you already love the collection, I think you'll love these new additions too 😜

Are you a fan of Mid Century Modern?


Before I go today I have some restock news, the following highly popular and requested clear stamps and stencils are now available...

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!
