A Funky Farewell...

Hey & Happy Weekend!

It's time for another of those posts that I find hard to write and put all my feelings into. It is with sadness that we at Uniko are saying farewell to one of our FABulous Design Team members Sarah Gray from Funky Fossil Designs.





Sarah has been a member of the Uniko DT since March 2015, taking a break in 2017 to return in 2018 as part of the Uniko Stencil Design Team.

For over 4 years I have had the honour and pleasure of having Sarah as part of the Uniko family. It seems longer than 4 years as before Sarah was a member of the DT, she was a regular customer too! Seeing the inspiration and creativity flow when Sarah works her magic with Uniko products is simply amazing.

Some of you may know that Sarah launched her own business in the paper crafting industry in 2018, Funky Fossil Designs. Initially specialising in Stencils, Sarah now offers a range of clear stamps and MDF pieces. You can checkout and purchase all the fabulous goodies HERE.




Running a business is not an easy task, especially when you have a family and another job to juggle, so Sarah has taken the hard decision to step down from the Uniko team to focus and grow her own business.

It wouldn't be right to say farewell to a fellow creative, without making a card...


In honour of Sarah's growing business I have combined a Funky Fossil Stencil - Brick Wall with  the foliage image from Uniko's Just Because clear stamp set.

I've had this design sketched out for ages and simply hadn't found the time to sit down and create it, until now.




It was hard to select just one sentiment to the card, so I decided to use three instead! These sentiments are from Simply Said Blocks and Simply Said Blocks II.

Uniko's Brand Ambassadors Jane and Izzy have joined me today to say farewell. Jane has also created a card combining Uniko and Funky Fossil products...



Jane has used Uniko's Background Blocks Pinstripe with Funky Fossil Folksy Christmas clear stamps. 

And this is how Izzy has combined Funky Fossil with Uniko...




Izzy has used Funky Fossils Circle Burst Stencil combined with Uniko's BIG & BOLD Happy clear stamps & Designer Dies.


Thank you Sarah for all that you have done for Uniko, YOU ROCK! As one friend to another and as a small business owner to another, I wish you ALL the success with your amazing, creative business within the paper crafting industry. 

Hugs

a BIG Thank You & Farewell...

Hey!

It's another of those posts that I find hard to write and put all my feelings into. It is with sadness that  we at Uniko are saying farewell to another of our FABulous Design Team members Sarah Gray from Funky Fossil Designs.

Sarah has been a member of the Uniko DT since March 2015. For over 2 years I have had the honour and pleasure of having Sarah as part of the Uniko family. It seems longer than 2 years as before Sarah was a member of the DT, she was a regular customer too! Seeing the inspiration and creativity flow when Sarah works her magic with Uniko products is simply amazing.  

A BIG thank you will never be enough to resonate my gratitude for all that Sarah has done for me and Uniko, she has truly been an inspiration to me and I am sure to all the Uniko customers old and new alike.

I thought it would be nice to share a few of my favourite Sarah creations (choosing just a selection was SO hard)...












What an amazing snippet of Sarah's talent and inspiration using Uniko, don't you think?




So, we couldn't let Sarah leave without giving her a little farewell send off, so the Design Team & I each made a card to share....

a HUGE thank you and Farewell...

Hey!

It's another of those posts that I find hard to write and put all my feelings into. It is with sadness that  we at Uniko are saying farewell to our longest standing Design Team member Nicki Scheck from Creativity Lives Here.

Nicki has been a member of the Uniko DT since October 2012! For nearly 4 years I have had the honour and pleasure of having Nicki as part of the Uniko family. Seeing the inspiration and creativity flow when Nicki works her magic with Uniko products is simply amazing. Plus I have been able to see her beautiful twin boys grow, giving me confidence, support and courage that 'life' is possible with twins!  

A HUGE thank you will never be enough to resonate my gratitude for all that Nicki has done for me and Uniko, she has truly been an inspiration to me and I am sure to all the Uniko customers old and new alike. 

So, I couldn't let Nicki leave without giving her a little farewell send off and making a card. I love Nicki's card making style, stylish, colourful and CAS. Her eye for design and composition is impeccable and I especially love how Nicki combines florals and geometrics with ease. So with that in mind this is the card I came up with...




When I saw the current CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below, I immediately thought of a combination of geometrics and florals - a perfect 'Nicki' card so I gave it ago. 




I also gave my ink blending a little more practice, Nicki's use of colour and blending colours is always flawless and inspiring, I hope I have done it justice for Nicki. I kept the bloom from Beautiful Blooms II (back in stock soon) black and white in contrast to the colourful panel. I did add a little Wink Of Stella to the white parts of the bloom and leaves for an added oomph!




That's all from me, but before I go, I thought I would leave you with a few of my favourite Nicki creations...
















What an amazing snippet of Nicki's talent and inspiration using Uniko, don't you think?


THANK YOU Nicki for everything! You had been a blessing to Uniko and you WILL be truly missed by us all.

Hugs

A Fond Farewell & A Warm Hello...

Hey!

Today we have a Fond Farewell to one of Uniko Studios Design Team members who has been with us since before day 1 when Uniko Studio was only an idea on paper!

Due to life & work commitments Kerry is stepping down from the Design Team :( I'm going to miss seeing Kerry's Layerlicious Lovliness on the DT Blog Hops but I am sure she will still be creating with Uniko Studio products now & then! 

THANK YOU Kerry for all your hard work and support with Uniko Studio it is truly appreciated. Hugs x

With fond farewells always comes a Warm Hello... as I now get to introduce you to the newest member of the Uniko Studio Design Team...




The one & only super talented Taheerah! 

I was super excited when Taheerah agreed to be Guest Designer last month for release & she certainly 'WOW'ed me with her creation using Uniko Studio products. So when Taheerah said she would join the permanent DT I was beyond ecstatic! You're going to LOVE stopping by Taheerah's blog HERE to see her creations :)

I know you'll all give Kerry a fond virtual hug farewell & Taheerah a warm hug hello :) I thought I make a SUPER simple & CAS card as it be wrong not to have a project to share...




The Gerbera's were still on my desk after making yesterdays card so made this nearly one layer card, this time I used the solid bloom and paired it with a sentiment from All Occasion Sentiments #1. I used the current CAS(E) this Sketch! layout for my card seen HERE and below and again I used the Dynamic Duos Anniversary Challenge colours I picked yesterday. 









Did you miss the May Design Team Blog Hop HERE? Well, there is still time to comment along the hop to win a prize & there is also a CASE challenge going on & a prize is up for grabs for the challenge too! 

Did you know Uniko Studio is on Facebook? We have a page HERE and it's updated regularly with all the goings on here at Uniko Studio. It would make my Birthday if you'd pop over & like my page! If we get to 200 likes before my birthday is over I will draw a lucky FB liker for a prize too!!

That's all from me today, I'm off out for my birthday today, a spot of retail therapy, self indulgence, a meal out and getting my geek on later to see the NEW Star Trek in 3D! 

I hope you all have a lovely day whatever you maybe up to! Thanks for stopping by :)

Card Stock: WPlus9 White, SU! Lucky Limeade
