Happy Everything!

Hey!

Happy Monday, I hope everyones week has got off to a great start? It certainly has here in the UK as we've basked in the sunshine on this May bank holiday. I've spent some time in the garden this afternoon sorting out the flower beds and mowing the lawns along with other jobs. Still much to be done but it's looking better and is SO much more enjoyable when its sunny & warm.

I made a card yesterday which I didn't get to share, so I'm sharing it with you all now...

How about a rainbow Chrysanthemum?! It certainly draws focus to the card & I really enjoyed colouring it in rainbow style! I used the current CAS(E) this Sketch! for the layout for my card seen HERE and below and I was also inspired by the current Addicted to CAS challenge seen HERE, the code word being rainbow.

As it's a holiday day here in the UK and everything is making me happy I thought I'd celebrate with a SALE over at the Uniko Studio SHOP!! There is 10% off selected stamp sets and 50% off digital products AND how about FREE WORLDWIDE SHIPPING on all orders!! Pop over to grab yourself a bargain!

That's all from me today, but I'll be back again tomorrow with more to share. Thanks for stopping by today.

Supplies:

Card Stock: WPlus9 White, Black from stash

Take Care

Happy Friday!

The weekend is nearly here and it's a holiday weekend here in the UK and dare I speak to soon, but it's set to be the hottest of the year so far which isn't hard to beat! I'm looking forward to an extra day with my hunny & hopefully some sunshine!

Anyway, I've a super CAS card to share today...

I noticed that the new CASology challenge code word HERE this week is care and so thought of the Take Care sentiment from Flower Power #1. I went on a bike ride yesterday evening to meet my guy after he finished work. The sun was out & still quite warm and I saw my first butterfly of the year which reminded me that I hadn't used my BRIGHT Butterflies dies for some time. 

The patterned paper is a left over piece from the Eclectic Mix Summer Digital Patterned Paper Collection. I've got plenty of paper scraps and this card layout is perfect for using such left overs. 

That's all from me today, thank you for stopping by.

Makes My Heart Happy...

Hey!

There are many things in life that make my heart happy & one of those things is coming across customer creations using Uniko Studio products. So I thought I'd share a few of my recent finds with you all...

These first two cards are by Vicki, you can see more of Vicki's creations HERE. Both cards are so Summery and as you may know I'm a sucker for butterflies! On Vicki's second card she has paired the BRIGHT Butterflies with Background Builders: Round In Circles & a sentiment from Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum. Simply perfect sums up both these cards :)

How about some more lovely butterflies? This time from Sue, you can check out more of Sue's creations HERE.

On this first card Sue has paired BRIGHT Butterflies with the Round In Circles Digital Patterned Paper Collection & All Occasion Sentiments #1. Loving the layout & retro squares :) Continuing the circle  & butterfly theme Sue created this awesome easel card...

Loving the soft pastels on this card, reminds me of the beach :)

I have one more card to share, continuing the butterfly theme that seems to have occurred today! This one is by Gillian & you can check out more of Gillian's creations HERE.

Don't you just love the sparkle of those butterflies? Happy sigh! Well, that's all from me today, I hope to find a little inky time later today to create some projects to share with you.

I'd LOVE to see more customer creations just email me a link or photo of your creation, it would make my heart happy :)

Thanks for stopping by

Flower Fusion

Hey!

Popping in quickly before we head out for Sunday dinner with a card I made this morning using the new Fusion challenge seen HERE and below my card...

I used both the sketch and photo inspiration for my card. I wished I had more of the turquoise colour showing on the card, but hey ho thats the way it goes!

It's been a while since I used the graphic flower trio from Time and I decided to pair it with Flower Power #1 and a super pairing even if I do say so myself! This card is also perfect for the Addicted to CAS challenge HERE, the code word being Flower. 

My tummy is rumbling now so I guess it's time to go! 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Just a note...

Happy Friday!

Popping in real quick for a graphic style floral 'Just a note' card today...

I've had this card sketched out for a while now a found time yesterday to make it. Sorry to have more Chrysanthemums again, but they seem to be my go to set at the moment!

Flowers is the current Addicted to CAS challenge theme seen HERE, so I thought I'd link up to that challenge.

That's all from me today, I'll be back tomorrow with more to share. Hope you all have a lovely day & YAY! for the weekend!

Thanks for stopping by.

Crazy for Circles!

Hey!

I'm back today with some projects featuring circles, to be more specific Background Builders: Round In Circles. 

My first card is one for the guys...

I've used the current Dynamic Duos challenge colours and Dessert Option for making a masculine card, seen HERE and below.

Circles & any geometric to be honest are good staple stamps to have in your stash for creating masculine cards and projects for those guys that are really hard to create for. It's my guys birthday next week and I'll be using Background Builders: Round In Circles for his card no doubt!

Anyway, I enjoyed creating this card so much I thought I'd make another in a more feminine colour scheme and one that seems to be quite on trend lately...

I was also inspired by Taheerah's card HERE which she made & showed on her blog yesterday using the same Uniko Studio set as I have today. This first photo doesn't do the sparkle justice, but this one does...

I used Versamark ink and Powdered Pearls for the gold shimmer and it shimmers beautifully. I was never a lover of gold but it's certainly growing on me!

This set Background Builders: Round In Circles has been one of the top sellers this month and selling out quick, get your set HERE before they sell out. New stock will be added but it takes around 3 weeks for stock to arrive!

Ok, that's all from me today, I'll be back tomorrow with more to share! Thank you for stopping by & leaving such lovely comments :) I read them all and very much appreciate them. I've had to turn moderation on for anonymous commenters as I was getting spammed BIG time!

Until tomorrow!

Delicate Chrysanthemums...

Hey!

Today I've some delicate vellum Chrysanthemums to share with you...

This card was inspired by the Fusion #3 inspiration photo seen HERE and below. This time I kept the black & grey to a minimum & muted the raspberry pink.

I seem to LOVE playing with vellum at the moment! I had intended to adhere raspberry pink CS behind the vellum strip but really only wanted the flowers to be highlighted having embossed them with  Cosmic White EP. So, reached for my trusty Copic markers and did some more flat colouring to the reverse of the flowers.

Love the effect, colourful yet translucent! Looking at the sketch below my card there are similarities in the layout which weren't intended! Ha! 

There is some wonderful creations in the Fusion Gallery for this challenge HERE. It's well worth a gander even if you've not time to enter the challenge as it ends today. 

That's all from me today, I'll be back tomorrow with more to share and  most likely something other than Chrysanthemums, but I can't guarantee that it won't be! 

Thanks for stopping by today.
