CAS Colours & Sketches #191

Hey!

This month over at CAS Colours & Sketches our hostess is Karen. Karen has come up with some fabulous challenges for us, including this weeks lovely colour combo HERE and seen below for you to try...

What a lovely colour combo, don't you think? It had me stumped for a while, but then an idea struck and I went with it. With a restock of lots of clear stamp sets today HERE in the Uniko store, including Peace On Earth that I have used on my card. I decided to make a Christmas card...

I thought the Delightful Dijon resembles a lovely old gold colour and one which I have the SU! card stock for, so decided to use that as my base. I then die cut a white panel stamped the sentiment and olive branch from the set in a close of a match green as I have to Cucumber Crush. Wrapped some Bermuda Bay bakers twine round the panel before adhering to the card base using foam adhesive.

The dove is stamped in Bermuda Bay, fussy cut out and embellished with glitter for a little Christmas sparkle! 

Ok, that's all from me for now, I hope I have inspired you to give these colours a go and join in on the challenge this week. Be sure to stop on over HERE and check out what the rest of the CAS Colours & Sketches DT have done using the colours and I hope to see you in the gallery.

Thanks for stopping by today.

A Warm Welcome...

Hey!

I super duper happy that you have stopped by the blog today as FINALLY I can let the cat out of the bag and introduce to you the newest member of the Uniko Design Team...

Rahmat Gouse from Cards & Cooking Corner

I am sure that Rahmat doesn't need much of an introduction to you all, as she has been a regular follower, customer and frequent participant in Uniko Challenges along with other challenges around blogland and has a wonderful presence on social media.

But, for those of you who don't, here is a little bio from Rahmat...

'Hello, I am Rahmat, I am very delighted to be part of Uniko Design Team! I am a crafter since childhood, I started with embroidery plus sewing, and then I moved onto paper crafting. Initially it was just making cards, and papercrafts for my kids.

A friend of mine saw my cards back in 2013, and forced me to make 10 cards for her, since then a spark was ignited, and I worked my way through finding things in this crafting world, like a little Alice in the Wonderland!

It took me sometime to discover my very style, which is CAS mostly, but I do love to try out different techniques from time to time. Embroidery being my first love, I take every possible chance to add a stitch or two on my cards.

I started blogging about a bit over 2 years now, and got more and more into card making since then. I am a mother to 2 teens, a teacher by profession, but currently doing substitute teaching. Besides card making, I also enjoy photography, cooking, traveling  and I also love to give lessons for free on Indian cooking. 

Be sure to follow me on Instagram for a glimpse of all the above at @rahmat.ccc'

Here are a few of my favourites Rahmat has created using Uniko goodies...

I am sure you will all join me in giving Rahmat a warm welcome and leave some love for her here and on Rahman's blog HERE. 

Welcome Rahmat! We look forward to seeing more of your wonderful inspiration using Uniko goodies ;) Super lucky an honoured to have you as part of the Uniko DT and family!

Hugs

CAS Colours & Sketches #190

Hey!

Karen is our hostess this month over at CAS Colours & Sketches and this week is sketch week. Karen  has this sketch HERE and seen below for you to try...

I hope my curve is curvy enough for you Karen! Karen wants to see a defined curve to your cards this week ;)

So this is what I came up with...

You may have seen my earlier post today, HERE. I have designed a digital stamp collection for Simply Cards & Papercrafts, available for download for FREE HERE. 

So as you can see I decided to use one of the images again for my card! I scaled the image down slightly and changed the orientation a little as I copied and pasted it into a document to create my own patterned paper. I then coloured it with Copic markers and die cut a curved edge using my Mama Elephant Dies. 

Ok, that's all from me today! I hope I have inspired you to give the sketch a go and join in on the challenge this week. Be sure to stop on over HERE and check out what the rest of the CAS Colours & Sketches DT have done using the colours and I hope to see you in the gallery.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Uniko & Simply Cards & Papercrafts!

Hey!

Argh, so much for getting back into a routine, first one of the playgroups is cancelled this week AND then I end up with a stinking cold, with two crazy 2 year olds running riot! 

Anyway, you might have seen me share this on Facebook the other day...

Yep, Uniko is featured in Simply Cards & Papercrafts again, and this time I have designed a lovely floral digital stamp collection. The issue is out and available to buy today from most leading supermarkets and shops who sell magazines.

The digital collection is available to download HERE.

For those of you unable to locate or purchase the magazine here is a peek at the feature...

AND how about a close up of a couple of the cards I made using the digital stamps...

I hope to share a few more projects using this collection soon, but in the mean time I'd LOVE to see what you create if you download and use the collection. Please email photos of your projects to bev@uniko.co.uk and say if you are happy for me to share them here on the blog too! 

I'll be back again later today with my CC&S Design Team card. Until then, thanks for stopping by and enjoy the freebie!

CAS - Colours & Sketches #189

Hey!

It's a new month over at CAS Colours & Sketches and we have a new hostess Karen, with some fabulous challenges for us. To start things off Karen has come up with this lovely colour combo HERE and seen below for you to try...

Karen's thinking for these colours is back to school, hence the primary colour choice. I don't have any back to school themed cards or necessity to make them (yet!). So I opted for a doodle flower thank you card...

I used Uniko Fun Flowers for the stamped panel, masking a rectangle first then stamping the flowers in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I then selectively coloured the flowers using Copic markers in the 3 primary colours.

I added a little Wink Of Stella to the coloured sections and raised the panel using foam adhesive onto a white card base. 

By only selectively colouring the flowers, a simple non fussy sentiment and a white card base helped to keep a busy 'ish' stamped panel CAS. 

Ok, that's all from me for now, I hope I have inspired you to give these colours a go and join in on the challenge this week. Be sure to stop on over HERE and check out what the rest of the CAS Colours & Sketches DT have done using the colours and I hope to see you in the gallery.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Supplies:

Stamps: Uniko Fun Flowers & Simply Said
