It's a busy day today ......
Happy weekend folks ......
And if you're a Uniko Stamps fan ..... Happy New Release Day!!!
Yes! all the brand new products that we've been teasing you with all week are now available to buy ..... yeah!!
You can find them all on the Uniko website or ...... if you're off to Port Sunlight today for the Happy Stampers Festival and you want to get your hands on them straight away, then you'll find them all on the Uniko stand at the show.
This is actually a scheduled post as I'm currently on the boat, on my way to Port Sunlight ..... I hope!
Fingers crossed the weather's good ...... I don't like it when it's bumpy!!
We should be well into our journey by the time this goes live ....... a little group of six craftaholics, that have all been up since the crack of dawn, armed with shopping lists galore and money to spend. Probably full of coffee and a bacon sandwich at this time, discussing who's buying what, who we want to see first, and what time to stop for lunch! It's going to be a great day ..... we've been looking forward to this for months!
But .... even though I'm off on a jolly, the show must go on as they say. As it's Release Day, me and the rest of the Design Team have been busy creating more inspiration for you using the brand new stamps, stencils and dies.
So grab a cuppa ..... there's a lot to look at. Here we go .....
All the way back to the beginning of the week with the gorgeous Nature's Treasures II stencil and that fab little stamp set ..... Simply Said Blocks II
How perfectly do they go together! I love this new stencil, the leaves are so pretty .....
I've simply stenciled with two shades of green Distress ink, using both sizes of leaves and added one of the Simply Said II sentiments ...... easy!
A few sequins and some dots of glitter glue add a touch of sparkle.
Next up the cute Bee Happy stamp set and the Honeycomb stencil
You don't always have to use the whole of the stencil. Here I've just added part of the design to the bottom of my card.
Distress inks again to add the colour. A fancy die cut edge to the top part, and a few of those cute buzzy bees .....
A simple sentiment keeps the CAS design
Now for two of my favourite favourites (I know I shouldn't really say that but ....... these are gorgeous!) ........ Just Because and the Large French Script
Again, they work so beautifully together.
I stamped the script onto a square piece of card using a grey Versafine ink, and then brushed around the edges with Spun Sugar, and I think it was Victorian Velvet Distress inks.
Using the MISTI, I stamped the pretty silhouette image over the top

I stamped the script onto a square piece of card using a grey Versafine ink, and then brushed around the edges with Spun Sugar, and I think it was Victorian Velvet Distress inks.
Using the MISTI, I stamped the pretty silhouette image over the top
A few drops of water onto the Distress ink, and a few black ink splatters here and there adds a bit more interest to the background.
I then cut the square into four and mounted it onto a couple of layers of white cardstock before attaching it to the front of a 6x6 card. And look ..... there's one of those fab sentiments again ..... told you this was a really useful set!
Still with me? ...... great.
Next up two gorgeous stencil designs ....... Party Confetti and the pretty Stylised Flower
Another card using only part of the stencil .......
And Simply Said II again .... don't they look fab stamped in a coloured ink ......
Of course a party wouldn't be the same without a balloon or two!
Not only have I not used all of the stencil on the next card ..... I haven't used the whole die either
I've die cut my aperture off the edge of the card and placed the stenciled design underneath
A few ink splatters, some sequins, and a bit of coordinating thread ..... held in place by one of the sentiment from the original Simply Said Blocks
On to the Designer Dies now ...... these match previously released Uniko stamp sets ........ Originally Organic Additions ......
A pretty, CAS design using one of the stamps and then I created an aperture using one of the matching dies
Part of the sentiment is stamped on the inside of my card ......
And I used one of the cute little blooms to embellish the heart wreath ...... there's matching dies for the all flowers
Here's a look at the card closed ......
Finally ...... (congratulations by the way if you're still with me) ..... we have the Explosion! Dies
I think these are fab!
I used the Explosion Additions stamps on the background and added some ink splatters .....
Stamped and heat embossed the WOW! then used the matching die to cut it out ........
And attached it to the card using a piece of folded acetate ..... this acts a bit like a spring and allows the word to move.
Phew! Well .... that's it. The brand new Uniko release ..... what's on your shopping list?
