April 2016 Reveal, Release & GIVEAWAY!

Hey & HAPPY Monday!

There is no better way to start the week than with a release of new Uniko goodies...right?! Well, I'm super happy you have stopped by today as today we get to see the two new mini clear stamp sets in their entirety, Oh and there is a GIVEAWAY too at the end of the post ;)

Ok, so lets have a look see at these new goodies...

This first set explains itself really, it is a fun cupcake building set suitable for all those occasions which are worth celebrating with cake! 

Next up we have a FUN on trend flower building mini clear stamp set...

This set is what the title of it says, FUN! With the popularity of 'doodle' styled images and colouring books this set provides the images to achieve those things on your creations AND so much more.

Now I have made the formal introductions how about a couple of projects showcasing these two new clear stamp sets.

First up a card using Celebrate With Cake...

I have had so much fun creating the frames for my recent shaker cards, that I decided to make just a frame to place my cupcake inside. Whilst going through my stash preparing for the class at The Paperlane on Saturday I came across this lovely grey speckled 12 x 12 card, which inspired my colour scheme.

I added some sparkle to the cupcake frosting using my clear Wink Of Stella pen and added a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins to embellish the sentiment.

Lastly but no means least and I probably say this every time, but my new 'go to' flower set is Fun Flowers ;) I think if I'd of had time I would have made more than a dozen cards to share with you today using it, but instead I have just a couple...

This card is another which we made at the class on Saturday, it was inspired and a CASE of this card HERE on Pinterest that I came across. I loved the monochrome stamping against the kraft and also how the fussy cut images stamped onto a circle die cut and the reassembled into a circle & foam mounted onto the card creates a lovely focal image. A fun technique I will be sure to try again.

Anyway, that's all from me here, be sure to hop along all the links below and comment along the hop  by midnight BST Sunday 17th April 2016 for you chance to win the ENTIRE Release AND a £10 eGift Certificate to spend in store.

Introducing... Celebrate With Cake

Hey!

I am super happy you have stopped by today, as today the Design Team and I are introducing the first product being released on Monday.

It is just a mini release this month as I am gearing up here at Uniko HQ to my first 'big' outing and stamping event at Happy Stampers Festivals next month. I've done very small and local craft events in the past, pre beans. So this is BIG for me going to an exclusive stampers festival to sell my products. To say I am nervous is an understatement and now I am thinking 'what have I done'! 

Anyway, lets have a look at Celebrate With Cake...

I am on a bit of a shaker card kick at the moment and I couldn't resist making one to showcase this set ;) I also treated myself to some new My Favourite Things dies and needed to give them a whirl too! I've used the MFT Peek A Boo die to create my shaker window in the white CS panel. 

Both the top and bottom of the cupcake is stamped and fussy cut separately to add a little depth. I added a sentiment from Simply Said and a trio of SU! It's My Party enamel dots. 

I loved this weeks CAS Colours & Sketches challenge colours seen HERE and below, that I couldn't resist using them again for my card.

That is all from me here, but be sure to hop along using the links below to see what else I have created and what the AWESOME Design Team have come up with...

Simply Cards & Papercrafts!

Hey!

Sorry I have been MIA over the past few days, though it seems like weeks as time is just not slowing down. I've been hit by the bugs again this past weekend, I think it's been a combination of playgroups with the beans and working all the hours once they are in bed! 

March already, how did that happen?! Though it's good as it means Spring here in the UK is only a couple of weeks away - YAY! 

You may have seen this photo that I shared around social media towards the end of last week...

I was asked by the lovely Aimes (Editor & Chief of Simply Cards & Papercrafts) if I would design a set of free digital stamps and create some projects. How could I refuse that offer?! 

I thought I would share a closer look at the feature in the magazine for those who are unable to purchase the magazine. Also because I have yet to find my creative energy this week :( I'm sure I will at some point as I have some DT stuff to catch up on ;)

Anyway, here is the feature...

You might recognise the bunny from the recently released Some Bunny clear stamp set. I had some more fun posing him in a birthday box and with some birthday balloons ;)

To download your freebie stamps be sure to visit www.papercraftmagazines.com I'd love to see what you create using them :)

Ok, that's all from me tonight, I think another early night is called for if I am going to shift this bug and annoying cough. I'll be back later this week with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by today.
