Introducing... Beautiful Blooms I

Happy Friday Everyone!

I'm am SO hApPy you've stopped by the blog today as I am introducing my favourite set of the whole June Release. Like I said when I Sneak Peeked this set I was in love when I originally drew it, then I fell in love a little more when I edited it for the stamp set AND now it's photopolymer I am SO in LOVE! Haha!

I just hope you all love it as much as me! I've a few cards to share with you today using the set & I know for a fact you'll be seeing it A LOT here on the blog in the future!!

Ok, onto the eye candy as that's what you've all stopped by for...




I've used a simple masking technique on this card, stamping the bloom in Memento Tuxedo Black in and colouring the flowers in with various Copic colours. The sentiment is from Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum. I fussy cut one of the blooms and added Prisma Glitter to make it pop and adhered it to the card using foam adhesive.




My next card uses the NEW The Play Date Cafe challenge colours seen HERE and below. It happens to be one of my favourite combinations too, so combining it with a favourite stamp set seemed perfect...







I started out by stamping the Congratulations sentiment from Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum. I was then able to perfectly stamp the blooms, again using a mask to overlay the 2 flowers in the top right of my card. A bit of layering with Bazzill grey card stock and a few rhinestones finished this card.




My next card is a wonderful one layer beauty...




It uses the large bloom, large stem and two of the leaves contained in the set. I simply stamped all the flower pieces onto my card base using VersaMark and then heat embossed with true white Cosmic Shimmer EP.



That's all I have to share today using Beautiful Blooms I, I hope you've enjoyed todays projects :) I'll be back tomorrow with product introduction #5! Until then, thank you for stopping by and for all your lovely comments.

Introducing... Background Builders: Chevrons

Hey!

I'm back today to share the next June Release product introduction... Background Builders: Chevrons. Chevrons have been trending for a while and I've wanted a chevron set for some time now so that's how this set came about! 

I've a couple of projects to share using this new set...




A bright & cheery AWESOME card :) I've used 3 chevron stamps on this  card to create the multicoloured stamped background. 

I started out by masking off a section on the white mat layer using some low tack masking tape, where I wanted the sentiment to be. I then inked and stamped each of the individual chevron strips to create the background, it was super easy and quick and I love how it turned out :) I then used a fine liner to draw in the lines, stamped the sentiment and highlighted the star with a yellow Copic marker.





I've one more card to share today using Background Builders: Chevrons that could easily be mass-produced...




For this card I simply stamped a white panel of CS with another of the chevron stamps and then die cut with a circle die before adhering to the base card using foam adhesive. The sentiment is from Label Love: Birthday and I added a few purple rhinestones to add a little something.





Taheerah has a card to share using today's set too, so be sure to stop on by and give her some love :)

Don't forget there are mystery prizes up for grabs that will be announced HERE on the blog on June 11th. There are lots of ways to win, by commenting on the blog or a DT member blog during the countdown to release, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

Introducing...All Occasion Sentiments #2

Hey!

What a FABulous week it's been so far & it's only Wednesday! Did you enjoy yesterday's product introduction? If you missed it you can catch up on it HERE and HERE. Don't forget there are mystery prizes up for grabs that will be announced HERE on the blog on June 11th. There are lots of ways to win, by commenting on the blog or a DT member blog during the countdown to release, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. 

OK, back to what we're all here for another product introduction! Today, I get to introduce you to the next All Occasion Sentiments stamp set, a mini set which packs a punch again with some super sized sentiments...




This first card was inspired by the NEW Runway Inspired Challenge HERE and seen below. I'd had a similar card in mind before I saw the challenge, but as soon as I saw the inspiration photo this card was practically finished! 




The result a clean & simple, graphic masculine card that gets straight to the point!




My next card is one for the girls and has a little more fuss about it...




On this card you get a little peek a Flower Power #2, which will be formally introduced later in the lead up to release! 

I started out by stamping the sentiment, which comes as 2 separate stamps onto Pool Party CS. I decided to stamp the 'HAPPY' in Hawaiian Shores to add a little more interest and to limit the amount of black. The flower is stamped in Pool Party ink first and then VersaMark and heat embossed with Cosmic Shimmer EP. I added a few aqua rhinestones to 3 of the white flower centres for that added bling!




I've one last card to share today using one of the other sentiments contained in the set. For this card I used the CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE, and I decided to play along with the NEW 'Less is More' challenge HERE which is to use the colour of your front door. My front door is a regular UPVC white door with a silver letter box...




So, I went with a white and silver colour combo to create this card...




I used silver pigment ink to stamp the 'Awesome' and heat embossed with stardust EP for that added sparkle. I then just stamped, embossed and fussy cut the star out to overlay the one in the sentiment. I used a Washi ribbon from Wonderful Washi Christmas, again stamped in silver and embossed with stardust EP.




I'd LOVE to know what you think of todays introduction :) A couple of design team members are introducing with me today too, so be sure to stop by Aimes' BLOG and Taheerah's BLOG to see how they've used All Occasion Sentiments #2.

We also have a FABulos guest designer joining us this month for release, who I am sure is a FAN of many a crafter and not just me!

 So without further ado I would like to welcome Jen Nelson as Guest Designer, welcome Jen :) I can't wait to see how Jen has used the NEW soon to be released Uniko Studio products and we don't have to wait too long as Jen has a card today too introducing todays set. 

Be sure to stop on by Jen's Blog The Tiny Blue Butterfly to see how she has used All Occasion Sentiments #2.

I'll be back tomorrow with the next product introduction, until then thank you for stopping by & have a lovely day.

Flower Circle

Hey!

Popping in quick this evening to share this super CAS card I made this afternoon...




I used a couple of challenges for this card, first of all the NEW Addicted to CAS challenge HERE to use circles and the current ColourQ challenge colours seen HERE and below.






I decided to keep the card blank so that I can send it for any occasion and also because I couldn't decide where to put one! I added a little bit of bling to the larger flowers for that added sparkle and little bit of faux stitching using a sparkle grey gel pen...




That's all from me this evening, I'm off for a little run before bed to tire my mind! Be sure to pop by tomorrow though for Day 3 of the June Release Sneak Peeks :)

Card Stock: White from stash
Ink: SU! Real Red & Daffodil Delight, PTI Hawaiian Shores

Sneak Peek Day 2


Hey!

I'm back today with a couple more June Release Sneaky Peeks...




This is a peek at a new background builder set, I've been wanting chevrons for some time now and can't believe it's taken me SO long to design one and launch one!! It'll be a go to set for me, so I hope you like chevrons!

Now, I am in LOVE with this next set that I'm peeking today...




I was in love when I drew it, then I fell in love a little more when it was edited on my laptop ready for stamp manufacture and now that I have it in photopolymer in my inky hands I'm head over heals in LOVE. Oh my!! I know I am biased but I think Uniko Studio customers might just fall in love too ;)
