Washi TIME!

Hey!

I'm a little later than normal with my post today, with being away for a weekend there is much to catch up on and here at Uniko Studio we have some exciting Design Team announcements coming this Saturday plus exciting NEW products for release next month. You won't want to miss a second! Anyway,  I've got some Wonderful Washi paired with Today, Tomorrow & Always Time to share with you today...

My card LO was inspired by this one below that I came across on Pinterest...

As soon as I saw it I knew that Wonderful Washi would be the perfect stamp set to use. I liked the large sentiment too and decided to use the on from Today, Tomorrow & Always Time. I added a little punched out sparkly heart for the finishing touch which also makes this card perfect for the current CAS-ual Fridays challenge HERE to incorporate a heart.

That's all from me today, until tomorrow thanks for stopping by.

EEK!

Hey!

Happy Wednesday! How's your week going? Good I hope, I can't believe how quickly mine is going! I'm getting into the spirit of Halloween today inspired by all the party stuff and costumes in the shops. Every year there seems to be more and more so it's obviously getting more popular here in the UK. So with that in mind I created a couple of cards for the occasion...

For this first card I used the NEW EEK! Digital Downloadable stamp collection available from the Uniko Studio website HERE.

Instructions:

1. Create a blank document in Adobe Photoshop that was 8.5 x 14 cm. 

2. Load EEK! brushes into Photoshop

3. Select the spiderweb brush and make it slightly lager and stamp it in the upper right hand corner.

4. Select the spider brush and stamp it in the lower left of the document.

5. Using the marque tool select the spider and edit transform to turn it 180 degrees.

6. Using the line tool draw a dashed line from the web to the spider.

7. Chose the 'Happy Halloween' sentiment brush and enlarge and stamp in the lower centre of the document.

8. Print document and trim to adhere to card base.

Before I adhered the digital panel to my card base I used the blank mini banner stamp from Wonderful Washi & stamped it onto a paper printed from Eclectic Mix Halloween and cut it out. I also stamped the hexagon mini banner onto Lucky Limeade CS and cut it out. 

This card fits into the current CAS-ual Friday's challenge HERE which is to use black, white & a colour of your choice. I chose Lucky Limeade from SU! as my colour choice.

The next card I have to share with you today uses EEK! Along with Eclectic Mix Halloween and Classics Halloween...

A super simple card LO using the circle Trick or Treat label brush from the EEK! digital stamp collection. If you use the circle brushes at the size they are when you load them they will coordinate with a 1 3/4" circle punch when you print them out! 

I'm looking forward to using this digital stamp collection along with the paper collections to create some treat boxes and Halloween decorations. I will share them with you when I've had time to play!

That's all from me today, I'll be back again tomorrow with more projects to share using NEW goodies recently released at Uniko Studio. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Lets Strip!

Hello!

Don't worry it's not an explicit post, I'm just referring to the current challenge over on CAS-ual Fridays! The challenge is to use strips of colour or pattern on your creation.

This challenge is perfect for using the NEW Eclectic Mix Summer digital papers! I used 3 of the paper designs contained in the collection on my card today. I love the bright colours contained in this collection so used a Tempting Turquoise card base & a Melon Mambo stamped  sentiment to complement the papers. The daisy is a Stampin' Up! Sizzix die paired with a Memory Box die & a SU! brad. I chose the sentiment 'Wish' from FONTiments - Birthday as I'm wishing everyday that Summer would arrive! 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Lucky No.3

Good Monday Morning!

How are we all? I hope your all good & that Monday has gotten off to a good start. My Monday mornings seem to come round SO quick after my Fridays! Anyway, I'm back today with a Lucky No.3 One Layer Wonder card to share with you all.

The current challenge over on "Less Is More" HERE is a one layer card which features 3 of something...

My card features 3 flowers & 3 gems! The number 3 is my favourite number so I just had to join in with the challenge! I'm reusing a card LO I have featured before HERE & I also incorporated another challenge into my card which is the current Spark Your Creative Spirit Colour Challenge HERE & seen below.

The stamps I used for my card are the medium graphic flower from Time and the sentiment is from FONTiments - Birthday.

Thats all from me today, but I will be back tomorrow, same time, same place! There is much to be done today in The Studio as I have some wedding invitations to finish & some NEW stamp designs to finalise! 

Thanks for stopping by.

Casual & Pink

Good Monday Morning!

Here we are in the last week of June & closer to the NEXT Uniko Studio release! Yep, mid next week we will see the start of the Sneak Peeks at what will be released on July 11th, not long to wait! 

Anyway, until then I have a card to share. For this card I used the current challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays. The challenge this week is to use PINK.

Here is my card ...

I chose to use a BRIGHT pink. Raspberry Fizz from PTI. I kept my card really simple & with no sentiment so it can be used for any occasion that may arise. I used the medium & small graphic flowers from TIME. 

Short & sweet from me today, much to be done! Thanks for stopping by today.

CAS-ual Dad ...

Happy Wednesday!

I'm back today with another Man-tastic card to share! This time I used the current challenge over on CAS-ual Fridays. The challenge over there is CAS masculine cards using designer paper. A perfect challenge to whip up those needed Dad's day cards! 

Here is my card ...

This card is VERY similar to the one I shared on Monday HERE. On Monday's card I used the punched out letters of 'dad', today I have used the negative. Again, I have used the NEW digital downloadable Classics patterned paper from Uniko Studio, available HERE. 

They work perfectly for masculine cards along with Patriotic cards! With the up coming celebrations of The Queens Diamond Jubilee they are half price on the website too! Hurry though as it's only for a limited TIME! 

Well, I'm off to work in a shop called Folio. You can read a little bit about this HERE on my friend Lauren's blog! I will do a post about it in the coming weeks! 

Anyway, must dash! Thanks for stopping by!

Feeling Casual ...

Hello!

Happy half way through the working week! I have a card to share with you today using a technique I've been wanting to have a go at for ages as I keep seeing it pop up here and there in blogland. It just so happens the technique fits into the current challenge over on CAS-ual Fridays HERE.

The challenge is to use punches or dies on your CAS card. Here is what I came up with ...

I don't know what the name of this technique is (so if you know be sure to tell me in the comments section below), but I like the look of it and it's also a good way to use up some scraps of patterned paper! It's good for flat cards too which makes mailing them out cheaper! 

For this card I used some PTI Rustic White CS for the base and main panel. I then used my PTI flower dies to die cut the flowers in the lower left corner. I then used the same dies to die cut some Joyful Butterfly digital download patterned paper. I stamped the sentiment from FONTiments - Birthday using Basic Grey ink. I then matted the panel to a Basic Grey panel before adhering to the card base.

I then glued and fitted the die cut flowers into the die cut spaces on the panel added some sparkly dew drops and ta dah! I'm looking forward to playing around with this technique a bit more! I've only the one card to show you today as it was sunny here in the UK yesterday and so I made the most of it outside enjoying it, we never know here how long it's going to last!

I'll be back tomorrow though with another project to share with you. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello ...?

... is it me you're looking for?!

Ha! Happy Wednesday Peeps! So I was thinking what sentiment I could incorporate into this card that would fit the CAS-ual Friday's challenge - inspired by a song. Then this hit me the Lionel Richie song 'Hello'!

For this card I also used the current sketch over on retro sketches. I really liked the look of this sketch but it took me a while to create a CAS card. Below you can see the sketch but check out the blog HERE to see the DT cards. 

I mainly used the Extra Time set for this card, but used the cog stamp from Time to stamp the decreasing circles in white. I used some of the Time digital paper scraps I had left on my desk for this card. You can purchase & download these HERE! 

Thats all I have to share today, thanks for stopping by!
