Happy Birthday Gerbera!

Hey!

In T Minus 50 minutes it'll be my birthday and the end of my 33rd year! I already know that my 34th year is going to be a FANTASTIC one with my Wedding Day in Hawaii & FABulous trip around the west coast of the USA planned :) 

Today has been a super busy one in the studio but I managed to squeeze in a little crafting time to make todays card...

Continuing with this months revisited set Pure Florals: Gerbera I decided to ink it up again & paired it with the clocking in card from Extra Time & a sentiment from Time. I've had this card idea in my head since Saturday night when I saw the current retrosketches sketch seen HERE and below...

I also played along with the current Dynamic Duos Anniversary challenge HERE and decided to pick this colour combo to use...

Did you miss the May Design Team Blog Hop HERE? Well, there is still time to comment along the hop to win a prize & there is also a CASE challenge going on & a prize is up for grabs for the challenge too! 

Did you know Uniko Studio is on Facebook? We have a page HERE and it's updated regularly with all the goings on here at Uniko Studio. It would make my Birthday if you'd pop over & like my page! If we get to 200 likes before my birthday is over I will draw a lucky FB liker for a prize too!!

OK, I'm off to enjoy the last 50 minutes of my 33rd year! Thanks for stopping by today :)

Sequins & Butterflies

Hey!

Happy Friday to you all, I hope you've all had a good week so far & are looking forward to the weekend :) It's been a busy but good week here in the studio with lots of lovely things going on. One of the things I've been up to this week, is creating some Uniko Studio product card kits to sell at The Paperlane where I do my demonstrations and classes. The card I have to share with you today is from one of the card kits I've put together using the BRIGHT Butterflies Designer Dies...

I've fallen in LOVE with the sequin trend and so had to use them & pairing them with a pink & silver die cut butterfly is a lovely sparkly result! It was a time consuming process threading & wrapping the sequins around the cream panel but quite relaxing too. The butterfly is adhered to the panel using foam adhesive to lift it off the sequins.

This card is SO sparkly in real life & you can see some of the sparkle in the photo above. I'm at The Paperlane tomorrow doing a demonstration in the morning 10am - 2pm and there are still a couple of places left in the class from 2pm - 5pm. I'd LOVE to see you of your in the area :)

Be sure to stop by the blog here tomorrow too as the Design Team & I have a 'Revisited' Blog Hop planned with a challenge & of course a PRIZE!! 

The SALE & FREE Worldwide Shipping in the shop ends tomorrow too, so be sure to take full advantage while you can!! 

That's all from me today, I hope you all have a lovely day & thanks for stopping by.

With Sympathy

Hey!

Luckily I haven't had to make many sympathy cards and it's not a type of card that I find easy to make. When I was designing Flower Power #1 I decided that the sentiments theme in the set would be thoughtful & caring and so I added 'With Sympathy'. This sentiment had yet to be inked so I decided to challenge myself and make a sympathy card...

I found the current retro sketch that I used yesterday which can be seen HERE and below really easy to use and great for making a simple CAS card so I used it again. 

This time I used Kraft CS to soften the sketch and decided on simple white embossing. I used the sentiment and stem from Flower Power #1 and the smallest graphic flower from Time.

Looking back I wished I had rounded the corners of the focal panel and base card to soften the feel of the card even more. 

That's all from me today, but I will be back tomorrow with another project to share with you all. I hope you all have a lovely day :)

Don't forget there is 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!

Sequin Butterflies!

Hey!

I'm back on schedule this week, thanks to the sunshine yesterday I managed to work through a list of jobs and create a few cards to share with you all :)

Todays card features sequins, a popular trend in the crafting community and I've finally got some and joined the party...

When I went to buy some from a local department store they had SO many different colours to chose from which makes things hard. I opted finally for a mixed rainbow assortment bag :) which is perfect to create rainbow sequin butterflies! It also works perfectly for the current Addicted to CAS challenge HERE, the code word being Rainbow.

I used the current retro sketch seen HERE and below for the layout of my card. I really let the sequin butterfly take centre stage keeping the sentiment & ribbon simple and opting for a white base card.  Such a versatile sketch that I have another card using it to share with you all tomorrow!

I love the sparkle of the sequins, so pretty :)

That's all from me today, but I will be back tomorrow with another project to share with you all. I hope you all have a lovely day :)

Glorious Sunshine!

Hey!

It's another glorious day of sunshine here in the UK and I hope to be saying that for a few months just to pre warn you - Haha! The sunshine certainly makes me happy and gives me a spring in my step, plus I seem to get more done - Haha! 

Anyway, onto todays card...

I decided this morning to have a little inky session early and played along with the current Fusion (Hypothesis) #5 challenge HERE and seen below.

I fused both the sketch and the colours from the photo inspiration on my card and fused Wonderful Washi, the graphic flowers from Time & a sentiment from Pure Florals: Chrysanthemum

I started out by masking the strips I wanted to stamp on my card base as I didn't want the washi strips to be as wide as the stamps. The flowers were stamped, fussy cut out and adhered to the card. I used foam adhesive for the 2 smaller flowers to add a bit of dimension. I then stamped the sentiment & added a rhinestone to each of the flowers to finish it off. 

That's all from me today, time to tick off a few more jobs on todays 'to do' list and maybe find a little time to soak up some sunshine! 

Just in case you missed the announcement yesterday, there is 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!

Thanks for stopping by today, I'll be back tomorrow with more to share.

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.

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.
