December 2018 Release Sneak Peeks!

Hey!

Yep, I must be a little crazy, but I thought I would squeeze in one more release before 2018 is over ;) So, I am super happy to share the December 2018 Release Sneak Peeks with you...

This month I am releasing 3 NEW clear stamp sets...

This first peek you might have seen on Social Media over the past couple of weeks ;) It is the latest Pure Florals flower and one that has been highly requested for some time now.

This second peek is of a new Winter themed set, with my favourite, snowflakes!! And lastly, but by no means least the last clear stamp set for this release is another fun modern flower builder clear stamp set.

And how about a couple more Uniko Stencils to add into the mix?!

Just a 'little' release this month ;) I will be back tomorrow with the first product introduction, I do hope you will join me and I look forward to hearing what you think about these Sneak Peeks :)

* Release Day is Tuesday 11th December and all the products will be available to purchase at 9pm GMT *

Thanks for stopping by today.

Poinsettia Showcase

Hello everyone Rahmat here.
Today I am up with Pure floral - poinsettia in focus. I was coloring these for the Dailymarker challenge, and thought of sharing here the variations in form of cards using this one set.

All the 4 colored ones are colored using alcohol markers. The embossed one is heat embossed on vellum using WOW gold pearl EP.
All the sentiments are from the same set.
One thing I tried to keep same in all cards is the position of the Poinsettia, I wanted it to be in the center and in focus.

I hope you like all these different versions of this stamp.

           Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate your kind  feedback :) Have a great day!
                                                                     

CAS Colours & Sketches #301 - Seasonal Colours

Hello December!

The countdown to Christmas has begun and over at CAS Colours & Sketches the Design Team are getting into the festive spirit too. This week the challenge HERE is to choose a colour combo from 2018 and make it seasonal.

I chose to use the colours from challenge #264 seen HERE and below...

And here is how I made them festive...

I recently purchased the Tree Shaker die from Pretty Pink Posh and I couldn't wait to get using it! I decided to make a non shaker card and combine it with Background Builders Christmas 2018. I am just loving the Christmas fairy light trend and can't stop using this stamp either ;)

I stamped it on a white mat layer in VersaFine Onyx Black ink, used my Stampin' Up! markers in the colours I chose to colour the bulbs and then added some White Blizzard Glitter Nuvo Drops, another favourite! 

The tree is adhered to the card using foam adhesive and then the panel adhered to the card using foam adhesive too. 

This is my second to last Design Team post for CAS Colours & Sketches, as I took the decision to step down once we had finished the challenges for 2018 :( I am sad to be leaving, as it has been fun. But my time is needed in other areas of Uniko ;)

Anyway, there is more inspiration from the CC&S Design Team over HERE. Be sure to check out which colour combo they've all chosen to make seasonal :) I look forward to seeing you in the gallery and happy festive CAS card making!

CAS Colours & Sketches #300 - Sketch & Happy Birthday CC&S!

Hey!

Happy 6th Birthday CAS Colours & Sketches!

This month at CAS Colours & Sketches our hostess is Patricia, the challenge owner.  This week Patricia has created a sketch for the Birthday week seen HERE and below...

And here is how I used the sketch...

I thought most people would go with the obvious of balloons for a birthday card, so I thought I'd be a little different and opted for celebratory stars. I used Background Builders: Seeing Stars clear stamp set paired with a *new* sentiment from one of the upcoming December Release clear stamp sets! 

The solid stars on my white layer are stamped in Altenew inks, Coral Berry, Warm Sunshine & Aqualicious. I then stamped the star with the linear detail in VersaFine Onyx Black ink and coloured some of the sections using Stampin' Up! Stampin' Blends and added glitter to the non coloured section. These are then fussy cut and adhered to the card using 1mm thick foam adhesive.

It wouldn't be a birthday celebration without a gift! 

Uniko is super proud to be the sponsor of this CAS Colours & Sketches Birthday Sketch Challenge!

As long as you meet the requirements of the challenge (see the challenge rules HERE). One lucky winner will receive an in stock stamp set (any value) of their choosing from the Uniko website HERE.

That's all from me today, I hope that I 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 #299 - Colours

Hey!

This month at CAS Colours & Sketches our hostess is Patricia, the challenge owner.  This week is colour week HERE and seen below...

And here is how I decided to use them...

I'm still 'trying' to build up my stash of Christmas cards! I know I need to be sending them out soon, especially to those across the pond and beyond! 

The layout of my card uses the current sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch! seen HERE and below and I love how my card turned out ;)

I used my current go to favourites of Winter Foliage and Simply Said Blocks Christmas. The sentiment is adhered using foam adhesive and I added some white dot detail using Nuvo Drops to the berries.

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!
