Thanks...

Hey!

Just popping by to share a quick 'Thanks' card with you all...

I was inspired by the current CASology Challenge HERE which is to make a card using the cue word 'Thanks'! I decided to pull out my favourite Background Builders: Lattice stamp and some scraps of Modern Lattice Digital Paper that I had printed. The sentiment is from Label Love: Thank you.

Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days, I'll be back in the swing of things here on the blog as the Sneak Peeks will be starting on Monday leading up to release day on the 24th! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Autumn Neutrals

Hey!

Autumn is definitely in full swing here in the UK, the weather so far this week has kept me in The Studio working & not wanting to go outside! Anyway, I have an Autumnal masculine birthday card to share with you...

I was inspired not only by the weather to make this card but also by the current Less is More Challenge HERE, which is Autumn! 

I decided to keep my card to Autumn Neutrals as I knew I wanted to used Uniko Studio Background Builders Lattice stamps to create a background and if I started adding a lot of colour it would have got a little busy and not so CAS.

I used another Memory Box Die I have had for a while but haven't seem to have used! I think I need to come up with a system of making sure I use stash instead of stashing it! Lol!

That's all from me today, I hope your all having a good week so far? We're half way to the weekend and halfway closer to the next Uniko Studio Super FREE Saturday! Until tomorrow, thanks for stopping by.

Hey!

Happy Weekend! Have you any inky plans this weekend? I hope to get a little inky and spend some time in the studio making a few NEW projects.

I'm back today however with the next instalment in the previously released product focus and my focus today is Background Builders Lattice...

This is a FAB building set which uses the trendy lattice/quatrefoil image - yum! So how about a few NEW projects using this set...

Keeping it Clean & Simple for this minty fresh beauty for the Moxie FAB World Minty Fresh Challenge HERE and also the Addicted To Stamps CAS Challenge HERE. 

I started out by masking off 2cm at the top and bottom of the card base I stamped one of the Background Builder Lattice stamps in Fresh Snow ink. I then took a piece of white card stock stamped and embossed another of the Lattice designs using fine detail white embossing powder. I then used one Distress Marker colour to create a monochrome ombre effect on the 2 layer butterfly. 

Here's a close up ...

Background Builders Lattice also has a digital downloadable paper collection called Modern Lattice available HERE and seen below...

I had to use my FAVE paper from this collection for my next card, the tiny floral paper and kept it CAS to keep in line with the Addicted To Stamps CAS Challenge...

I selected some Soft Stone card stock to use as a mat for the patterned paper before adhering it to the white card base. I left a gap to break up the patterned paper collection and to create space for a sentiment from Time. The die cut flower is a Memory Box die and die cut from card stock which coordinates with the collection.

Now you've seen some NEW projects using this set & digital paper collection how about some oldies but goodies...

As you can see from this card the lattice pairs superbly with the graphic flowers from Time! This next card uses one of the single stamps contained in the set and uses paper piecing one of my FAVE techniques with these smaller stamps...

This card uses one of the patterned papers contained in the Modern Lattice digital paper collection along with the butterfly from English Country Garden digital stamp set and a sentiment from FONTiments - Birthday.

That's all for today using Background Builders Lattice and Modern Lattice digital paper collection. I hope you've enjoyed todays post?! I'll be back again tomorrow with another product focus or two. Thanks for stopping by.

Felt Flower

Good Monday Morning!

I hope you all had a good weekend. I'm back to start the week with a colourful little card ...

For todays card I used the current challenge colours over at The Play Date Cafe HERE. This is a colour combo I have used a lot but not on cards, I have made many a iPhone case & felt brooch using these colours! I used Background Builders Lattice to create the stamped panel & the sentiment is from Time. I couldn't resist adding a felt flower embellishment & button to finish the card off! 

Here is The Play Date Cafe inspiration photo ...

And here is a little close up of the felt flower ...

That's all from me today, I'll be back tomorrow with another card to share. It's a busy time here at Uniko Studio with lots of exciting things happening, be sure to keep stopping by to see what they are! 

Thanks for stopping by!

One for the guys ...

Hey!

It's been a while since I made & shared a card made for a guy, so when I saw this weeks Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger I knew I had to make a 'guy' card! 

This is the Trigger Photo ...

I was totally inspired by the colours ...

I started off by stamping the Lattice background un Memento Rich Cocoa & then chose some Copic colours to match the inspiration photo & randomly coloured the Lattice. The clock face and sentiment are from Extra Time. 

I hope your all having a FAB weekend, thanks for stopping by!

A bit of Mixing & Matching ...

Hey All!

Hope your all having a good week? It's back to work for me after a few days relaxing, lots to get done! Anyway, before I get started I have another card to share using Background Builders Lattice & this time I paired it with the medium & small graphic flowers from Time. 

I enjoyed the retrosketch so much this week & as I was making yesterday's card had this card idea in my head ...

I started off by stamping one of the Lattice strips in SU! Basic Grey and matted this to a PTI Autumn Rose card base. I then stamped the flowers in matching ink, cut them out & adhered them to the card using foam adhesive. I used some dew drop bling for the centre of the flowers & doted a few about too for extra measure! 

That's all from me today! I'll be back tomorrow with another card or two to share with you all. Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Wishes ...

Hey!

Sorry I have been MIA for a few days. I've been spending some time with my hunny for his birthday weekend & would like to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY for today!! 

Anyway, I managed to squeeze in a little inky time while the football was on last night to make this birthday card for him ...

I used 2 challenges for this card, firstly a retrosketch sketch HERE and also the Play Date Cafe Colour Challenge HERE. Below are the two inspiration pictures ...

The last NEW set for my focus which was released last month from Uniko Studio is Background Builders Lattice. I love this set & it has SO many possibilities! I used 2 sentiment stamps from Fontiments - Birthday too. I stamped the lattice in Memento Black ink and coloured the in lattice using 3 Copic colours matched to The Play Date Cafe Challenge. I then stamped the individual lattice stamps coloured them & cut them out & adhered them to the card using foam adhesive. A few dew drops finished the card nicely. A modern masculine card! 

That's all from me today, I'm off to spend some more quality time with my hunny as it's his birthday today & while he is off work too! Were off out for pizza & a movie - yum! I'll be back tomorrow with another card using this set combined with a previously released set! 

Thanks for stopping by!
