Uniko May / June Release - Introducing Bauhaus Blocks Stamp Set

Hello! 

Day two of the Uniko May / June release introductions and we have a very exciting stamp set for you today called Bauhaus Blocks. 

As you will see from my second card, this set features a collection of geometric designs perfect for colouring any way you choose. I however, saw a mountain (with trees and clouds) and a boat out at sea when I stamped the two images in my first card above! 

Definitely be sure to pop over to the Uniko blog to see the brilliant ways in which the Brand Ambassadors have used these unique and interesting stamps. I’ve really been enjoying playing about with this stamp set.

Uniko May / June Release - Introducing Stencil Flower Power #4

Morning all, 

Welcome to the first day of introductions of the Uniko May / June release. Today we have the Uniko Stencil Flower Power #4 which can be used as a stand alone stencil or with the Uniko Flower Power #4 stamp set. 

I created a lovely rainbow effect with lots of masking and lots of different inks. It took a while to create but so satisfying to thee the end result once the stencil is removed!

My second card couldn’t be more different with a simple one colour tone for a more muted creation. Here I added the little accent stamps from the Flower Power #4 stamp set.

Don't forget to hop over to the Uniko blog and check out the beautiful creations by the rest of the Brand Ambassadors. My card isn’t the only rainbow beauty created using this fabulous stencil!

Much love

Papercraft Challenges #94 - Things With Wings

Good morning all, 

Today we are up with Papercraft Challenges monthly challenge #94 and the theme is 'Things with Wings'. Lots of 'things' could be used here and not just birds or insects but what about planes too?!

My choice of 'things' were butterflies and here I have used Funky Fossil Geo Bugs stamp set which I have coloured, fussy cut and adhered to a background made using Stampin Up! Dictionary stamp.

We look forward to seeing your creations over at the Papercraft Challenges blog where you can also check out the fabulous makes by the rest of the Design Team.

Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Bokeh Layering Hearts

Good morning, 

Today I am showcasing the Uniko Bokeh Layering Hearts stencil set which were released earlier this year. Unfortunately I didn't have time to use them during the Release in Review so I have made three cards today to show the different ways in which they can be used. 

There are two stencils within the Bokeh Layering Hearts set. Here I have used one single stencil featuring just hearts:

I have kept this card very simple and added detail with a shaped die cut. The heart containing the sentiment and the small one to the right of it are fussy cut and applied with foam pads for added interest. 

My next card uses the other stencil from the set featuring the word 'love' in the shape of a heart.

Again the background was simple to create and I chose to use blue to imitate the sky and clouds. I then added the hot air balloon and sentiment from the Uniko Up & Away stamp set. 

My final card uses the two stencils together:

I wanted to make an impact so I chose to layer black and white onto the green hearts. I felt the colours were striking and needed a statement piece as a topper which I found from the Uniko Mid Century Modern Frames stamp set. 

Hopefully that has given you some ideas for using the stencils separately or together. 

Since AAA birthday card challenges has a ‘balloon’ theme for the month of May I will be entering my second card with the hot air balloon (although I’m not sure that’s the sort of balloon they are looking for!!).

I will also be entering my third card into Happy Little Stampers May Stencil Challenge which has an ‘Anything Goes’ theme.

The Male Room Challenge #174 - Animals

Morning all, 

This month’s theme at The Male Room is always a very popular one - ‘Animals’.

I think it’s popular because people have a lot of animal stamps or dies (etc) in their stash and it’s an easy theme to make masculine.

For my card I used Clearly Besotted Love London stamp set which features cute hippos. 

And I have to add that it is pure coincidence that I chose this theme for this challenge that went live the week of our Kings Coronation here in the UK! 

For the background I inked up the Clearly Besotted Splat It stencil which adds to the fun I think.

Hop over to The Male Room blog for more inspiration from the fabulous Design Team and to join in the fun this month. 

Much love
