CAS Colours & Sketches #244 - Sketch

Hey!

I'm not as organised this week as there is SO much going on here at Uniko HQ! We are currently in countdown mode to our October Release and my energy levels are recovering post Happy Stampers Festival in time for Stamp Magic in Doncaster this weekend!

Not only do I have 5 new clear stamp sets being released, which the Design Team and I will start introducing tomorrow, we have a NEW product and TWO Designer Die collections - whoop!

Anyway, enough of that how about a new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. This month Emily is our hostess and this week has this fun sketch HERE to inspire your creativity...

Here is what I came up with...

I've had so much fun using Stunning Snowflakes recently, that when I saw the sketch they seemed perfect to use and create a trio of hanging snowflake decorations :)

I used a trio of recently purchased Distress Oxide inks to stamp the snowflakes and fussy cut them out. The bow is from Christmas Sparkle and the sentiment from one of the October Release clear stamp sets. 

That's all from me today using the sketch, but if you need some more inspiration using the sketch be sure to pop by the CAS Colours & Sketches blog HERE and see how the DT and Guest Designer have used it.

I will be back again shortly with another post! 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Uniko Sponsors "Less Is More"

Hey & Happy World Card Making Day!

I'm super duper pleased you have popped by this morning as today the countdown to the October Release starts, it's Happy Stampers Festival Day AND myself and Uniko are proud to be sponsoring the challenge over at "Less is More" this month  - YAY!

Being the first challenge of the month, it's a colour challenge and it's all about Hot & Spicy colours. When I thought of these colours I thought of the Middle East designs and Marvellous Mehndi...

I used my MISTI to stamp the large mandala on both the square layer and base card in Stampin' Up! Poppy Parade ink and then over stamped them in VersaMark ink, to heat emboss them with clear EP. I then went in and selectively coloured the mandala on the top square only.

The sentiment is a peek at one from a NEW clear stamp set being introduced this week and will be available to purchase on Monday 16th October! I've embellished it with some smaller stamps from Marvellous Mehndi and my favourite Stampin' Up! enamel dots!

I hope I have inspired you to join in on the fun?! 

That's all from myself for now, but be sure to head on over HERE to see what the "Less is More" Design Team have created to inspire you and to join in on the fun too. I hope to see you in the gallery!

I'll be back AGAIN soon with the first of the October Release Sneak Peeks!

CAS Colours & Sketches #243 - Colours

Hey & Hello October!

I feel really ahead of myself as I have made my card AND preparing my post on a Sunday afternoon, I'm usually still writing my post on a Tuesday morning! It sure feels good to be organised for once ;)

Anyway, enough of that how about a fresh new month of challenges over at CAS Colours & Sketches. This month Emily is our hostess and kicking the month off with this wonderful colour combo HERE to inspire your creativity...

Here is what I came up with...

I'd have normally gone for more of an Autumnal leaf card, with this colour combo. However, I was inspired to use them for a floral card, using Flower Power #6 paired with the Thanks sentiment from Simply Said Blocks. Time to get ahead and build my thank you card stash up again! 

Just some simple stamping, fussy cutting and layering using foam adhesive. Plus some Stampin' Up! enamel dots and the Stitched Framelits dies. 

That's all from me today using the sketch, but if you need some more inspiration using the sketch be sure to pop by the CAS Colours & Sketches blog HERE and see how the DT and Guest Designer have used it.

Thanks for stopping by today.
