Flower Power!

Hey!

Happy Monday! Ready to kick off this working (or not-so working for me - cue one more week off work!) week with some more Uniko Studio sneaky peeks? Products featured in the sneaky peeks are available for purchase on April 11th!

Today we're giving you a taste of a fabulous new stamp set called Flower Power. Flower Power is a sweet set featuring a graphic flower with a choice of super-sweet sentiments. Don't you just love the font? I do! :)

• Get the most out of your sentiment stamps by partially inking them to create a custom sentiment. I partially inked the sentiment stamp, 'I'm here for you' to create the stamp 'for you'.
• Create your own grass by using the stem of a flower stamp. To add depth, try generation stamping (stamping repeatedly without re-inking). 

I made a tag, but be sure to see what some of the Uniko Studio DT inked up for your viewing pleasure:

And remember, that there are mystery prizes up for grabs from comments on the Uniko Studio blog and maybe even the Uniko Studio Facebook page too....! What are you waiting for?!

Faking it: enamel dot styleee...

Hey!

Ready for Day 2 of the release sneaky peeks from Uniko Studio? I hope so!

Today we're giving you a sneaky peek of a new stamp set AND a fab new digital paper collection. My card today features both. Remember: all new products featured are available for purchase on April 11th!

The new set, All Occasion Sentiments features mega-sized sentiments that are perfect for providing the focal point for your projects. I love the variety of fonts in the set, and opted to play with this 'Hello' stamp for my sneaky peek project. I know, I know, gold again! I will get bored of it one day....maybe *wink*

The digital paper I've used is from the new, On the Grid digital paper collection. I love it! I'm a sucker for grids and I love the variety available in the collection. Y'know when you used to be picky about what graph paper to use at school? Should you opt for the 1cm squared type or the super duper 1mm squared type? Just me on this one? Well this collection is the same for me! Decisions, decisions....! :)

I'm also going to enter this card into the Simon Says Stamp and Show: Anything Goes Challenge. Hurry if you want to enter, the challenge closes later today! 

• When working with digital papers - try not to resize them as the design will shrink. Use a crop option instead.
• See those fancy enamel dots that are popping up on projects everywhere? Yeah, I'd love to get me some of them too! But for now, my old collection of brads are working as my faux enamel dots.  Want then to shine? Then simply add a coast of Glossy Accents to them. A great way to use up the old supplies!

Now some of the Uniko Studio DT are giving more sneaky peeks of this stamp set and collection of papers so be sure to check them out:

Golden Butterflies...

Hey!

Happy weekend and happy release countdown, Unkio Studio styleee! :D

We're changing the format of new releases at Uniko Studio: now we'll have a day dedicated to each new product, with the products' full reveal and availability for purchase on April 11th. We'll still be celebrating the actual release date with a fun blog hop - you don't wanna miss it!

So it's Day 1 of product sharing and what a product we're sharing today. Uniko Studio has now entered the die market! Yup! Dies! Not only that but designer dies to coordinate with the BRIGHT Butterflies stamp set (that you can purchase now - it's a bargain!)

 

For my project today, I wanted to show you that you can still have fun with the designer dies even if you don't own the coordinating stamp set (yet!). My simple tag features all three of the designer dies (all three come as one set). The sentiment is actually a sneaky peek of a future set - I was just really taken with that font. It reminded me of the 1920s and persuaded me to take advantage of my gold obsession right now!

I'm also entering this 'happy' creation into the current Simon Says Stamp Challenge and also the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge: Anything Goes! :)

• A tip from my buddy, Debby: don't separate the dies when you receive them. You can create cool projects with the dies joined together; they're all lined up to perfection! 
• Don't pile on the pressure with stamping those sentiments in the apertures. Lightly tack the die-cut white tag to a sheet of gold cardstock then stamp your sentiments in the apertures. If you bodge it up, just tack the white tag to another area of gold card and start again. Then trace the tag on to the gold card and cut it out (if you want a neat reverse to the tag, die cut another tag from white card and adhere to the reverse).
• When stamping on glossy/shiny cardstock, consider using a permanent ink such as Staz-on. Just be sure to wipe it off any clear stamps immediately after use to avoid damage!

That's all from me today, but be sure to get a good sneaky peek at what some of the Uniko Studio DT whipped up with these dies, including our fabbie guest DT and talented buddy of mine, Taheerah!
