Happy Birthday Uniko, 12 Today and a Party!

Good morning folks.

Today we are celebrating Uniko's 12th Birthday with a birthday blog hop and giveaway!

Bev and the BAs are sharing birthday cards for your inspiration.

Here's mine.

When the MOD Background Builder stencil was released last year I had lots of ideas buzzing around in my head and this was one of them, to use the small additional stencil elements to create an all over background style card. I wasn't too sure of of the accuracy of my stencil placement, so went with a fussy cut design using just the two triple corner elements.

The trio of petal shapes were used to create both the green leaves as well as the flowers, using just two for the leaves and adding an extra for the flowers. The stamens were added in the same way using Seedless Preserve over Kitsch Flamingo DI. The leaflets were initially inked in Twisted Citron DI, then again with Mowed Lawn DI towards the bottom. After fussy cutting the elements, I arranged them onto an A6 panel of white card, adding flower centers with a yellow dot stamped from Wonderful Day and die cut with the small circle die in Big n Bold Happy!

I fussy cut the stamped sentiment made from Birthday Sentiments and You Are Sentiments Outlined, placing them flat over the background panel..

So all you have to do now, is link up your own birthday card to the Uniko blog for a chance to win a fabulous prize of a 25£ e gift voucher to spend in store!

Uniko January Release in Review and Blog Hop

It's almost been 2 weeks since the January 2020 Release at Uniko but we thought you might like some more BA inspiration from Bev and the rest of the team

So, with that in mind Bev thought it would be nice for a January 2020 Release In Review Blog Hop & giveaway!

First up is this card.

I've used the grungy heart from the Big n Bold Love set and the small outlined heart from Always and Forever, the gold embossed sentiment is also from that set.

The layout is the latest sketch from the Paper Players and the colours from Sunday Stamps. I added some Glossy Accents to the small hearts which has not allowed the shades of red Copic colouring to show up!

My second card uses the gorgeous Hello Lovely stamp and the Background Blocks Scattered Hearts. The sentiment is from the previously released Sentiments Outlined but there is also a new set to go with this release, You Are Sentiments Outlined.

This card was made at the same time as the wedding card for my BA post but my daughter went with that card.

I used the Scattered Hearts to create a soft background by stamping it in Altenew's SilverStone ink before layering up the fussy cut and coloured Hello Lovely cluster up on pads. The sentiment from Sentiments Outlined, was stamped in the darker Industrial Diamond Altenew ink with a shadow added with a BG96 Copic to make it look 3D. A few clear sequins complete the design.

Below is a little look at the January 2020 release and when you click on an image it will take you to the website where you can read more about them and purchase them if you like.

So now it's time to check out the rest of the Brand Ambassadors for more release inspiration. Be sure to comment along the way for your chance to win the Hello Lovely & You Are, Sentiments Outlined clear stamp sets.

You have until Midnight Thursday 6th February 2020 to leave a comment and the random winner will be announced Friday 7th February 2020.
