July Design Team Blog Hop!

Hey!

I'm SO happy you've stopped by the blog today as we've a Design Team Blog Hop for you to enjoy. So grab a drink, get comfy and enjoy! 


This month here at Uniko Studio we are having a fresh look at the previously released Label Love: Thank you clear stamp set. This set was released last year back in September HERE. This is such a useful set and can be used on it's own or paired with any Uniko Studio product or even other products you might have in your stash.

Like all the clear stamp sets in the Label Love series the sentiments & labels can be mixed and matched for even MORE possibilities!

Here's a look at the set...




As you might expect due to the name of the set it features 5 Thank you sentiments in lovely modern fonts and four circle labels which coordinate with a 1 3/4" circle punch or die for ease of cutting out. It also features 3 accent stamps.

Lets get to the projects! First I have a couple of older projects using the set...






I've also made a couple of new projects using the set and decided to play along with the current 'Less is More' challenge HERE which is Shades of Grey. I've not quite managed to use 50 shades of grey but used a couple on each of my projects below...




For my first card I decided just to use the Label Love: Thank you set on it's own, I simply stamped one of the Thank you sentiments onto a white piece of card stock and trimmed it at an angle. I then cut a strip of white card to place across the card and stamped another sentiment. The circle embellishment is heat embossed and a few NEW SU! candy dots finished the card off.




For my final card to share with you today I decided to pair Label Love: Thank you with Flower Power #2 and Natures Treasures I using a layout I have used before...




Again I used the shades of grey colour scheme and I'm really pleased how it turned out. The blooms are  2 stepped stamped in Smokey Slate ink for the solid bloom and Smokey Shadow for the lines. The leaves are also stamped with Smokey Shadow ink onto Soft Stone card stock to give them a slight offset against the white & grey background colours...




Ok, so that's enough from me lets get onto the Design Team Hop, you can find the order below in case there is a broken link along the way...

Grey & Yellow

Whoohoo it Wednesday!

Half way through the working week, not that I stick to a normal working schedule! Today I have a card to share which uses an oldie but goodie colour combo, Grey & Yellow. Whilst blog hopping I came across the current colour challenge over on cr84fn HERE.

This was the inspiration photo ...




Here is my card ...




Decorative Doilies The Hands Of Time was still on my desk from yesterdays card so I pulled out one of the medium doily stamps and stamped it in Memento ink London Fog onto white CS & matted it to a Basic Grey CS base. The sentiment is from Extra Time & stamped onto Lemon Tart (PTI) CS which was die cut using PTIs Photo Finishers Holiday dies. I added a few lemon pearls to the doily centres to finish the card off.

It's only 3 weeks till the next Uniko Studio release & there is much to be done, so I had best get to it & get some work done! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

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! 
Hugs
