Introducing... A Gift For You

Hey & Happy Monday!

Well, it might only be a small release here at Uniko Studio this month, but the three sets being released sure pack a lot of punch! I do hope you agree and that you are looking forward to the full reveal and release tomorrow?? If you missed the first couple of product introductions you can catch up HERE and HERE.

It wouldn't be a birthday celebration without gifts, hence the theme of the next little set I am introducing today...

A Gift For You might only contain a majority of birthday themed sentiments along with a couple of generalised sentiments for gift giving, but this little set will be perfect for all year round gift giving! On this first card I have used the little gift and two step stamping bow and combined it with the large birthday from All Occasion Sentiments #2.

My last  card today uses one of my 'go to' layouts...

I stamped the gift in black and fussy cut it out and then adhered it onto the corner rounded panel using double sided tape. I coloured the ribbon band with a Spica at you pen and added gold glitter to the polka dots. The solid bow is stamped in Turquoise Gem, cut out and adhered using foam adhesive. A couple of tabs of ribbon added to the panel before adhering the panel using foam adhesive, simple!

So, what do you think? Do you like what you've seen?? I'd love to know ;) I've a couple of the DT joining me with the introductions today, along with our Guest Designer this month Rebecca from Mellymoo Papercrafting. Be sure to stop by their blogs for more inspiration using this set...

Countdown to Christmas Day 8 & Sneak Peek 2

Hey!

How are we all this fine day? Are you having a good weekend? I sure hope you are. I'm having an awesomely good weekend filled with lots of excitement *insert BIG GRIN*! Not only am I counting down to Christmas but I am also counting down to the December Release here at Uniko Studio - YAY! For the final Sneak Peek of the release keep reading to the end of the post. First I have my next Countdown to Christmas project to share with you.

It's another snowflake card and a quick mass produceable one too! I just can't make a decision on a final design of Christmas card, I think it's due to a couple of things, firstly that I've still to decide on gifts for people and secondly I'm always thinking, 'but what if the next design I do is better'. Then I will have regret and wished I done those instead.

The current challenge HERE over at Addicted to CAS was part inspiration for this card as the theme is snowflakes. Also I just can't seem to put the Uniko Studio Stunning Snowflakes or Designer Dies Snowflakes away!

I'm sure I will settle on a design soon, time is ticking by WAY too fast and Christmas will be here before I know it. I will have more regret if I don't make anything to give to people. Ok, enough of my rambling let's see what Sneak Peek 2 is...

This little set has SO many possibilities just on its own, but pair it with yesterdays peek for even more. PLUS this little set breathes new life into a previously released and popular clear stamp set - any guesses to what set that might be?

That's all from me today, but for the next 3 days you will be getting TWO posts a day as I continue the Countdown to Christmas & I get to formally introduce each of the December Release products available from the website only HERE on December 11th at 9am GMT.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by & for all your lovely comments which are truly appreciated :)

Jolly Baubles!

Hey!

I've finally turned a corner & feeling slightly better, well enough to spend a few hours in the studio! I made a little card which I was happy with until I added some Stickles for some sparkle and it made the colours run :( 

Why didn't you use your trusty glue pen & Hero Arts Prisma Glitter I hear you ask?! Well, I'm all out of glue pens :( Guess I'll be restocking of those when I am at The Paperlane tomorrow! 

Anyway, here's my little card...

Whilst snuggled on the sofa yesterday afternoon trying to rest & get rid of this cold I had an idea pop into my head which I made a note of on my iPhone so I wouldn't forget! The idea is what you see above to use the 3 circle stamps from Background Builders: Round In Circles as baubles on a Christmas card!

I used SU! Real Red & Lucky Limeade as my colours and on the striped bauble/circle I used my SU! markers to selectively colour each line. The bows on each bauble is from Label Love: Birthday and I simply drew the string with a black fine liner. The striped bauble is also punched out and mounted using foam adhesive for a little dimension & the sentiment is from Jolly Christmas.

I will be having another go at this card design when I've stocked up on glue pens! I fancy having ago at using some different colours too. 

That's all from me today & apologies for my lateness in posting, I will be back tomorrow with a card to share for someone FABULOUS. I'm taking part in an AWESOME blog hop which is NOT to be missed! My post will be at an usual time for me 1pm here in the UK, hope to see you tomorrow :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

Friday = Good!

Happy Good Friday & Bank Holiday Weekend!

I hope everyone's Easter holiday has got off to a GOOD start. Mine has which started with a lazy lay in bed, then we crossed off one job on the 'get stuff done' list which was to alter the desks in the studio and after a little more organising I made this card...

I started out with the current ColorQ challenge colours seen HERE and below. I then looked at my Uniko Studio stamps and decided to use a chevron from Wonderful Washi Christmas & Pair it with Label Love: Birthday. 

Usually I go for straight lines horizontally or vertically & rarely digress, but I decided to add some sloping angles to my chevrons and also my focal point. I'm pleased I stepped out of my comfort zone as I really like the result! 

Tomorrow is another day of relaxation & a spot of studio Spring Organising! I will before this Easter holiday is over share a little photo tour of the studio, so you all get to peek at where I spend most of my days! 

Thanks for stopping by today.
