TIME to celebrate!

Hey!

Happy Friday, I'm celebrating an early weekend today & taking some TIME out of the studio but scheduled this appropriately themed card to share with you today...

I was inspired to pull out Uniko Studio's Time & Extra Time clear stamp sets by the current challenge over at CASology HERE, whose theme is time. It's nice to pull out sets that you haven't used for a while & show them love! 

I used the current CAS(E) this Sketch sketch seen below & HERE for my layout but this time I changed the orientation of the sketch turning it clockwise and moved the panel over to the left.

I'm not one usually to change the orientation of a sketch, or even create a 'loose' interpretation of a sketch, but knew I wanted to shake things up and also I wanted to incorporated those 2 little banners from the NEW Uniko Studio Wonderful Washi: Christmas clear stamp set.

Again, I used the current Play Date Cafe challenge colours seen HERE and below for my card and I'm pleased with the balance.

That's all the 'time' I have to share with you today, but I will be back again tomorrow sharing a couple of the projects that my class at The Paper Lane will be making.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hey!

Happy Friday! Well, we're slowly drying out here after all the rain we've had in the last few days and I'm hoping for a little Autumn sunshine today! Anyway, I've a lil 10.5 cm x 10.5 cm card to share with you today using an Autumn colour combo...

I used the current Play Date Cafe challenge colours HERE and seen below for my card and of course the Wonderful Washi stamp set! It doesn't seem to make it off my desk before it's inked again! Lol!

I kind of cheated and used two neutrals, I couldn't help it it just happened! I managed to use some old supplies on this card too - brads! Not something you see on cards these days. Here's a lil close up...

That's all from me today, I'll be back tomorrow though with the next instalment of Super FREE Saturday, so be sure to pop on by!

Feeling Better ...

Hello!

So sorry to have left you hanging for the past few days with no new cards to share with you all, it's been a little crazy here in The Studio what with work deadlines and being unwell at the same time isn't a good mix. 

I'm back today on form with a CAS card ...

For this card I used the current Play Date Cafe Challenge colours seen HERE and below and also the current Less Is More Challenge which is a sketch seen HERE and below...

The colours screamed flowers to me so I had to use the Pure Florals: Gerbera stamp set and paired it with a sentiment from Extra Time. The colours are so cheery that I felt it to be a get well card, it certainly cheered me up to get back to stamping for the blog here.

Thats all from me today, thank you for stopping by.

YAY ... Happy Friday Everyone!

I hope you have all survived the working week! I have just about, the last few days have been a bit painful, pulling a muscle in the left side of your chest is not good! Anyway, it has not stopped me crafting & playing with paper, ink & stamps! I have blocked the pain out as I sat & made this card ...

I saw the new colours over at The Play Date Cafe and had to join in. The colours are shown below & HERE. 

I really surprised myself with this card & used way more of the yellow than I intended. I thought I would have used more of the mint colour as I an a bit of fan of that colour, but it's only appearance on the card is in one little button form! 

I used PTI Lemon Tart CS for the base & panel as So Saffron was not quite the colour I wanted. I stamped the solid Gerbera from Pure Florals:Gerbera in Regal Rose & Calypso Coral onto White CS and fussy cut them out. It was quite therapeutic. The sentiment is from FONTiments - Birthday and the buttons are Melon Berry, Aqua Mist & Hibiscus Burst from PTI. I finally added a little bit of bling for good measure! 

Thats all from me today, but I will be back tomorrow with more to share. Thanks for stopping by.

Yummy Colours!

Hello Friends!

I'm back today with a card which features a yummy colour combination! I saw this colour combo HERE at The Play Date Cafe & knew I had to make a card using them ...

Here's my card ...

I used a Clean & Simple sketch as the basis for my card but I didn't stick to the sketch completely. I haven't made a square card for ages, it was nice to break the trend! 

Here is the sketch ...

I hope your all having a lovely weekend, thanks for stopping by.

Colour Splash!

Hey Y'all!

Today I have a card to share that has a splash of colour, I was inspired by the current Play Date Cafe challenge, Colour Splash. The colour for this challenge is Blue, my favourite colour ...

As the colour is used A LOT for masculine cards I decided to make a masculine card! I pulled out my trusty  EXTRA TIME stamp set & a couple of PTI dies and this is what I came up with ...

I decided to use 2 shades of blue on my card, Spring Rain & Enchanted Evening from PTI. I'm having fun this week designing NEW goodies for Uniko Studio stamps & digital products TIME is flying! 

Thanks for stopping by today.

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!

Feeling Fancy!

Hey!

I'm back today with some 'Fancy' cards to share! Continuing with my daily focus on a NEW Uniko Studio product, today I have focused on Fontiment Fancies - Swirls & Flourishes. As the name of the set goes it pairs well with Fontiments - Birthday, so it only seemed right that I used those too! 

The stamps in this set are great for creating fancy frames for sentiments! As you can see in the card below.

There is a lot of white space on this CAS card, but using bright colours to stamp the flourishes with a bold black sentiment really draws your focus to this part of the card. 

This next card also has quite a bit of white space, but I decided to mat the stamped piece onto a coloured card base for that added colour splash! 

For this card I used one of the larger flourishes & one of the medium swirls. Another sentiment mix from Fontiments - Birthday. I should have finished the inside of the card & when I do I will stamp the sentiment 'it's your birthday'. 

For this last card I used the large bracket stamp. First of all I cut a panel the same size as my card front & marked the centre before I stamped the bracket 3 times. I then cut the panel following the contours of the bracket. 

I then stamped the cluster of swirls & flourishes and another sentiment combination from Fontiments - Birthday. Now, that I am looking at this card as I type it has sparked another card LO using the same stamps! 

As you can see there was a bit of a colour theme going on! I came across The Play Date Cafe's current challenge HERE. Such a bright & cheery colour combination I decided to play along! 

That's all I have to share for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with another product focus and cards to share! Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs!
