Uniko Release Day Blog Hop and Giveaway!

Good morning, hope the weather is improving where you are, it's rain falling on frozen ground here in the Welsh borders so treacherous out and about! 

It's finally release day and all the products we've been introducing this week are now available to purchase on the Uniko website.

However, if you need some more inspirational persuasion, get comfy grab a cuppa and keep on reading. 

This card is another using the Flower Power #11 stamp set very like the one on intro day but more tightly grouped. I like the blend of colours this gives but the down side is that the final panel is a tad small.


To compensate for the small panel size, I die cut it with two stacking dies to create the frame and mounted it onto a black base card, then added the leftover as an outer frame. It also means a I have a slim, white square frame to use later!! Another of my ready made Doodle Flower sentiments completes, this time simply stamped on white with black and mounted on a circle of black to match the rest.

Do you remember my intro for MCM Stars and Circles? Well there was a half a panel left over and here it is!


This time I mounted it on a panel of black, trimmed it down and added it to a square white base card, I also incorporated that leftover frame from the first project! The little coloured circles are also a left over from my Sparkles Sentiments card.

Stencil - Mid Century Modern Circles & Stars £4.50

My next card uses three of this weeks release in one card! Central panel Ink n Flip Flower Power #8 stencil, Background Builders Flower Power and the Simply Said Blocks Occasion, plus Happy from a previous set.

You could put any sentiment you wanted to in the center, there are lots of combinations in the Simply Said Blocks series!

After years of making A6 cards, I seem to be embracing the small square format, or is it the tight Yorkshire Lass I am!! 
The leftover from a circle die cut, was stamped repeatedly with one of the Flower Power strips, mounted over a stencilled Flower Power #8 and a die cut frame on a 41/4" base card, simples!!

This card was influenced by one I saw on Pinterest, just a simple gem on kraft.


Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Gem Stencil £8.00

This time I used some Dreamweavers Embossing Paste to create my gem onto a Home Bargains Kraft base card! I could have added something from the Sparkles sentiment set but in the end left it with just the gem!

Finally we have the fab Picked Posies stencils. Remember that panel I had left from my first intro card, well here it is, mounted on some gold mirror card mounted on a 5 x 7 white card with a vellum sentiment panel embossed in gold.


Quite a different look to the first one, it will soon be winging it's way to my Sister in Law, whose birthday is later this month. I glued the vellum onto the stencilled panel by adding glue directly behind the large stamped and embossed sentiment, a great way to hide those dots of glue!!
