March 2015 Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hey!

I'm SO happy you've stopped by the blog today as today is the March 2015 Design Team Blog Hop.  As we've quite a few new followers here, ("Hello & Thank you") I will explain what's going on! 

Here at Uniko Studio I currently only release new products every other month. This is for a number of reasons, firstly, being an avid paper crafter myself and knowing the current economic climate I know 'some' are on a limited budget when it comes to buying new stash, so this way you're not tempted to splurge too much every month. The second reason is that it is just me here at Uniko Studio HQ. I currently run this little business single handedly, designing, blogging, demoing, classes, packing. Alongside that I am a full time mum to 6 month old twin boys! So releasing every other month gives me chance to keep my head above water, well, just about!

So, on the in-between release months the Design Team & I take a look back at a previously released product, dust it off and give it some love! This month I decided to dust off the previously released Flower Power #4.

With Spring peeking it's head every so often & with Easter on its way. I thought it would be nice to spread some Spring cheer to those who might not be seeing it as much as we are here in the UK.

I apologise in advance for my lack of 'new' creations, I've not had much crafting time since we moved house and my 'work' room is just a room with boxes and no desk, so I am sharing a couple of  cards I created when I released this set...

I know for a fact that the DT have whipped up some awesome creations which more than makes up for my tardiness! So please hop along and see what they have in store for you and be sure to comment along the hop to win a £5 eGift Certificate to spend in store.

Sending Joy

Hello!

It looks like Mother Nature has sent us Summer, well for a few days anyway! I've got a joyful card to share with you today ...

Not my usual go to colours on this card, but it's good to step away from the White, for this card anyway! I used the current Color Throwdown Challenge colours seen HERE and below...

I also used the current Freshly Made Sketches sketch HERE & seen below for my card layout ...

Here is a close up of that Poppy Red Gerbera Flower ...

It's hard to see in the photo but the centre of the flower has some sparkly Stickles. That's all from me today, I'll be back tomorrow with more to share. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs

Fresh Friday

WhoooHooo, Happy Friday!

As your reading this I am well on my way to Silverstone near where I used to live to camp have fun & watch some really fast racing cars! As promised I have a card to share with you all so here it is ...

It's been a while since I've used the cogs & clocks from TIME & EXTRA TIME so I decided to break them out & make a masculine card. For my card I used the current Freshly Made Sketch HERE and seen below. 

It's my first time to use Freshly Made Sketches but it certainly made me think & look at my stamps differently. Well, thats all from me today, I hope you all have a FAB Friday & a good start to your weekend.

Thanks for stopping by today & I'll see you same TIME tomorrow!

Hugs
