Uniko FB VIP Challenge Reminder

This months Uniko FB VIP Challenge is all about GEOMETRICS. Here is a design I came up with using some of the smaller stamps from lots of different sets and the Postage Die set from Waffle Flower.

I found a ready cut panel of white card in the die packaging, so used that to create my design. The stencil which comes with it was used for ease but I could have easily masked off each section before I added the background inking and stamping.

Each of my rectangles was inked with DI, either Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers or Twisted Citron, then with the masking still in place, the stamp detail was added with the same ink. I used BB Pinstripe, BB Triangulate, Bee Happy, Balloon Bash, BB MOD Circle Builder and Uniko Style stamp sets

Finally all masking was removed and the sentiment stamped. Birthday and Christmas Sentiments and a few small silver die cut dots complete. The panel was matted onto some black card and then on pads onto a 5 x 7ich white base card.

There are lots of fab Uniko geometric themed stamps and stencils to use, if you don't have any, think outside the box. Looking forward to seeing all your different geometric designs in the FB VIP gallery!

Introducing Layering Bauhaus Blocks Spring Stencil

Good morning. Today is the first reveal of Uniko's January release where Bev has designed another of those fab Bauhaus stencils. This one is called Spring, it can be used on it's own or in a combination of the other Bauhaus blocks stencils.

My first card uses just the Spring Block stencil and some letters from Alphabet Outlined.

As with other Bauhaus Blocks stencils it is a 3 stencil set which you can use to build up a grid pattern. I made a few errors whilst stencilling it for the first time so decided to save the OK squares by cutting them out and reassembling them onto a panel of white copy paper in a 4 x 4 grid. The inks used here are Distress Inks, Barn Door, Worn Lipstick and Aged Mahogany. I added some glossy accents to a few of the squares before adding my letters to spell LOVE, the small heart conveniently nestling in the center of the O! Mounted on a slightly larger panel of white inked around the edge with Barn Door DI, then added to a 5 x 5 white note card on foam pads.

My second uses a combination of the Spring Blocks and the regular Bauhaus blocks stencil.

This time I used Altenew inks, Vineyard Berry, Heart Beat and Pink Pearl. The inked panel was cut down and added to an A6 side fold card and the speech bubble die cut, Mama Elephant, was stamped and heat embossed in gold with a sentiment from Falling Hearts Serenade and tiny hearts from Balloon Bash. This was added over the stencilled panel with foam pads.

Why not check out the rest of the Uniko team to see what they've done with this fab new stencil?

Happy 13th Birthday Uniko!

Good morning! 

It's February 1st and it's the beginning of a whole MONTH of birthday celebrations over at UNIKO.

Can you believe that Bev started on her journey 13 years ago this month?!

Anyway to kick off the celebrations we are launching with a Birthday Card Linky Party. Simply create a birthday card using any Uniko products (current, retired or digital) and link up in the linky below. More details are at the end of the post including the prize. 

 

The BAs have started it off with some birthday inspired makes, here's mine and what says birthday more than balloons?

Strangely enough this is the first outing for both these sets, even though Balloon Bash was one of the earlier releases I was late to the party, so to speak. It was a very simple card to create and just by changing the balloon colours very versatile too.

To begin I stamped the Block Party Birthday stamp onto an A6 top folding, white note card in Memento Tuxedo Black then on some scrap white, I stamped the balloons from Balloon Bash with the Uniko colours and fussy cut them out. To give them a little dimension, I used a ball tool from the back over foam and attached to my base card with foam tape. There are string stamps in the set but I added mine with a black fine liner and a steady hand. Some white hi lights on the balloons complete, no need even for a sentiment.

So are you all ready to party?!

Why not check out the rest of the team to see what they've been up to?
