Super FREE Saturday Returns!

* This is my 2nd post this morning, if you missed the February 2017 Release Sneak Peeks click HERE*

Hey!

Yep, those of you who have been following Uniko for a while may remember a feature I had a few years ago called Super FREE Saturday. It was a featured I did roughly every month, where I  designed a little digital freebie for you all to use. Some were pre coloured, ready to print and cut others were outline images for you to colour.

Anyway, I thought I would reintroduce the feature and again it will be every other month in between releases. I know it IS release month this month, but we're celebrating so I couldn't resist having an 'extra' freebie for you all to use ;)

This is a is a beautiful design especially for those who like to colour! It is called 'happy roses' and is a compilation design from a number of Uniko clear stamp sets, Flower Power #6 and Originally Organic. They pair up beautifully ;)

I've created a couple of samples to inspire you and show you how they can be used...

 This first card both the floral design and sentiment are printed onto white card stock and I have simply coloured the design with Copic Markers. I used a total of 5 markers and just did simple flat colouring.

My next card is again a one layer card. This time I printed the floral design onto Kraft card stock and coloured it in using Prismacolour pencils. 

I opted for two shades of yellow, so that the roses would really 'pop' against the Kraft card stock. The sentiment is stamped and is also a little sneak at a sentiment from a set we will be introducing on Tuesday ;)

Sarah G here crashing the Uniko blog....I love the colouring that Bev has done on this gorgeous image.  I have focused on the digi as an outline image by foiling in gold and hot pink:

Foiling is really hard to pick up in a decent photo but I hope you can see it!  I have more over at my blog....back over to Bev :)

Deborah here to crash the party too! Well, why not? I made a card using these pretty flowers too. Details on my blog:

I'd LOVE to see what you create using this digital stamp! Tag @unikoltd on Facebook and Instagram.

Or why not create a card and link up to our current Anything Goes Challenge with Optional Twist Love HERE or we have our 5th Birthday Linky Party HERE. There are FAB prizes to be won on both these posts ;)

Ok, that is all from me today but I will be back tomorrow with more Sneak Peeks to share and MORE!!

Super FREE Saturday & Uniko Studio Challenge #10

Hey & Happy Weekend!

It's been quite a while since I last launched a Super FREE Saturday collection, but today sees the next collection available for download for FREE from the Uniko Studio website HERE. 

I had a little brainwave whilst designing this collection and decided it would be fun to coordinate the collection with the current Uniko Studio Challenge #10 HERE. This will make is super easy for everyone to join in on the challenge.

How about a look at the collection...

As you can see I've kept it really simple, it is a printable JPG available in A4 and US letter size. It features all the colours and the theme for this months Uniko Studio Challenge HERE.

Now I've created a couple of cards to show you it in use...

This first  card is SO simple, in Photoshop I used my marque tool to select the circle image and pasted it into a separate document and then I simply printed the document and trimmed it to size and mounted it onto a lilac card base.  Below is a close up of the image...

For my next card I used one of the journal cards...

For this card I printed the A4 sheet of designs & fussy cut out the journal card I wished to use. I also trimmed the Thinking Of You sentiment. The current Freshly Made Sketch layout seen HERE and below lent itself perfectly for this card.

Below is a close up of the detail...

I'd LOVE you to download the collection and join in on the challenge, don't forget the winner of the challenge gets a £10 Gift Certificate to spend in store and a Guest Design spot on the blog! 

I hope you've enjoyed today's cards and like this new SFS collection :) That's all from me today, but I will be back tomorrow with more to share, until then, thank you for stopping by today.

Super FREE Saturday!

Hey & Happy Weekend!

I can't believe that today is the last day of November and it is also Super Free Saturday here at Uniko Studio. I've been a bit sporadic this year with the Super Free Saturdays this year and it is on my New Years Resolution list to get them as regular as clock work for 2014!

Anyway, let's have a look at this months freebie...

It's called Peace * Love * Joy and is trio of circular labels with a mini poinsettia inside them. They come in a mini PNG file which is available for download HERE on the website.

I had ideas galore in which to use these little labels, but time flew away from me and I only managed to whip up this trio of cards which are inspired by THIS snowflake card made by Maile Belles.

I simply printed off the file with the 3 labels and fussy cut them out. I then used my At You Spica Pens to colour the poinsettia in and the rim of the label. This is then layered onto the largest Designer Die Snowflake and adhered to the card using foam adhesive. The medium and small snowflake die cuts are adhered flat to the card. Below is a close up of the detail, it doesn't  show how sparkly the poinsettia is though in the photo but it is there in real life.

After making this one I went on to make two more with the same colours but switching them around....

I can't decide which colour version I like the best! I do hope you will pop over to the website HERE & download the file. I'd LOVE to see too what you make using them and you can link your project up HERE into the current challenge too, email entries are welcome too just email me a photo of your project & I'll upload your entry.

While your over on the website why not check out the Black Friday & Cyber Monday Bargains! They end on Monday midnight GMT and they're being snapped up and you wouldn't want to miss out.

Ok, that's all from me today I will be back tomorrow with my Countdown to Christmas advent, where I will be sharing an ideas & quick projects to hopefully inspire you a bit more with your Christmas & Holiday preparations. Until then , thank you for stopping by today :)

Super FREE Saturday - Funky Florals

Hey!

Welcome to another Super FREE Saturday here at Uniko Studio. This month brings you a super trendy digital print out collection featuring funky florals in some yummy Stampin' Up! colours, check it out...

This Super FREE Saturday collection can be downloaded for FREE via the Uniko Studio website HERE. Simply register on the website if you haven't already and download the file - easy!

How about a couple of projects using the collection...

For my first card I used one of the journalling cards and stamped a sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments #1 and Time. I printed an extra journalling card so I could fussy cut the flower out and adhere it using foam adhesive.

Before I adhered the journalling card to the SU! Strawberry Slush mat layer I stamped same said layer with the small polka dots from Background Builders: Round In Circles using white pigment ink.

For my next card using the freebie I decided to use the current Uniko Studio Challenge sketch seen HERE and below...

I used a 1 3/4" circle punch to cut out the round label from the collection and stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from Label Love: Birthday before mounting it onto a die cut.

The friend sentiment is from All Occasion Sentiments #3 and I stamped it before I adhered the white panels to the base card using foam adhesive. I printed & fussy cut a couple of the flowers which appear on the red journalling card to finish the sketch layout.

Why not have a go & use the freebie to create a card & enter it into the Uniko Studio Challenge #2?

A few of the Design Team have created projects using the collection too, links to their blogs are below...

Super FREE Saturday - "Hello" Speech Cloud

Hey!

Welcome to another Super FREE Saturday here at Uniko Studio. This month brings you a super trendy digital collection featuring speech clouds, lots of "hello's" and a modern floral digital patterned paper, check it out...

This Super FREE Saturday collection can be downloaded for FREE via the Uniko Studio website HERE. Simply register on the website if you haven't already and download the file - easy!

How about a couple of projects using the collection...

For my first card I used one of the cloud speech bubbles, digitally stamping it in a turquoise colour and then sizing one of the "hello" sentiments to fit inside, I then printed it & cut it out. I decided to pair it with Background Builders: Chevrons and the friend sentiment from Time.

Keeping with the "Hello" theme I made a second card using the digital patterned paper in the collection & simply printed and die cut a couple of BRIGHT Butterflies, the sentiment is again from Time.

For my last card using the collection I decided to change the theme to make a simple birthday card...

I started out by creating a document 13.5cm x 10cm in Photoshop and place the digital paper into my document & resizing it slightly & moving it down to a small section. (Note, I printed all the pieces for each card onto one A4 sheet of 160gsm paper). I then printed the document and trimmed it to size before stamping my sentiment from Flower Power #2. I fussy cut two flowers from the paper and adhered them using glue dots for a slight bit of dimension and added some bling to finish.

That's all the projects I have to share today using the collection. If you download the collection and use it I'd LOVE to see your projects, why not upload them to the Uniko Studio Flickr Group HERE or send me a link to your project on your blog or you can even email me a photo!  

You could also enter your card / project HERE in the Uniko Studio Challenge as the theme of this collection fits in perfectly with the challenge theme!

Super FREE Saturday - Summer Bloom

Hey!

I'm SO glad you stopped by the blog today as I've a treat in store for you all :) Yep, it's time for another Super FREE Saturday...

This Super FREE Saturday collection is called Summer Bloom and it can be downloaded for FREE via the Uniko Studio website HERE. Simply register if you haven't already and download the file - easy! 

This collection features a solid and linear bloom, leaf stem and one sentiment. The images come as individual Photoshop brushes (CS5) and also transparent PNG files.

How about a card showing you how I've used the collection...

I created a super simple card which was really easy to do. I started out by creating a 10 cm x 14 cm document in Photoshop. I then selected the solid stem and leaves, changed the colour and adjusted the size of my brush and stamped it on my document. I then stamped the sentiment and also the linear bloom. 

I then transferred this document into an A4 document to print, but before I printed it out I chose another Uniko Studio Digital Downloadable Collection - Round In Circles and selected a small piece of one of the patterned papers. I then stamped the linear flower over the top. I used my bucket tool to fill in some of the areas of the bloom and then printed my document. 

I trimmed the mat layer to size and mounted it onto my base card and then fussy cut the bloom out and adhered it slightly off centre using foam adhesive, I added a little touch of glitter and left it at that!

If you download the collection and use it I'd LOVE to see your projects, why not upload them to the Uniko Studio Flickr Group HERE or send me a link to your project on your blog or you can even email me a photo! 

That's NOT all from me this morning, I'll be back in 30 minutes with the BIG June Release Design Team Blog Hop, Enjoy!

A Few Things...

Hey!

Wow, what a busy weekend and start to the week here in The Studio. It's been that busy I haven't had time to ink my stamps and make a card :( 

So instead I thought I'd share a few cards I've spotted around blogland...

First up are these beauties from Deborah...

Pure Florals: Gerbera paired with Wonderful Washi in such calming pastel tones is simply stunning. I love how the longest Washi ribbon draws you down to the sentiment on the card. 

How about some gold snowflakes?

Deborah used Decorative Doilies - The Hands of Time to create this wonderful Christmas card, such perfect embossing. Be sure to check out Deborah's blog HERE to see more stunning creations.

Next up is Sue...

This CAS Pure Florals: Gebera card is just perfect, the placement and colouring and the choice of sentiment is just lovely.

Sue has also been using the Super Free Saturday kit from September to make this Halloween card...

Be sure to pop over to Sue's blog HERE to see more lovely creations.

I've one more card to share with you today from Vicki...

Vicki has used this months Super FREE Saturday kit that was released on Saturday HERE and you can download it HERE. I LOVE that big red bauble paired with the chevrons, this card has certainly got me in the Christmas spirit. Be sure to pop by Vicki's blog HERE, she has many wonderful projects to admire. 

So in other news, the NEXT Uniko Studio release is just around the corner and I can't wait to start sharing peeks with you all! 

I am also doing a Uniko Studio demo at The Paper Lane in Northallerton on Saturday 1st December 11 - 2pm. I am also running a CAS Christmas card class after the demo, for more information and to sign up for the class visit The Paper Lane website HERE.

I think that's all for today, I do hope all those on the East Coast are safe and well, thinking of you all who are and have been affected by Hurricane Sandy.
