More to life ...

Hey!

As the saying begins 'There's more to life than ...' so it is when it comes to Uniko Studio products! With all the hype and excitement over the last weekend and few days here at Uniko Studio with Super FREE Saturday and with the September release just around the corner, I thought it would be nice to do a recap on all the products available from Uniko Studio.

Don't worry I'm not going to cram it all into one blog post! I thought I'd spend the day's up until the Sneak Peeks start focusing on a product or two that are already available on the website. As much as I LOVE new stash it's always good to look back at what you've got & how you can use it differently.

I also thought it would be nice for the NEW followers here at Uniko Studio to see what products are available. So without further ado I thought I start in release order and begin with ...




Today, Tomorrow & Always TIME was one of the first clear stamp sets to be released from Uniko Studio back in February. When I designed this set back in 2011 while still at University I wanted a set that would cater for the men in our lives but wanted to have a feminine feel too and even though I do say so myself this set is perfect for both girls and boys.

Here are a few NEW examples of how this set can be used...




My first card shows the feminine side of this set, using the bold graphic flower contained in the set in all 3 sizes in a cheerful colour combination paired with a 'timless' sentiment. I used the current Clean & Simple sketch for the layout for my card seen HERE and below. I think the flowers are perfect for this layout! 




The photo below shows the techniques of masking and layering I've used on the card ...




How about a card for the boys ...




Using the current Retro Sketch HERE and my go to masculine colour combo I came up with the card above. The bonus of the clock faces contained in this set is that they coordinate with a 1 3/4" circle punch and can be layered & matted with products that coordinate with that size circle such as these Papertrey Ink Mat Stack Dies!




Also stamp the time to that which you choose! 

This set is timeless & has so many possibilities and will always be one of my FAVES! Here is how one customer Lucy Abrams created, who bought Time put it to use & submitted it for publication ...




You can find this in the current Sept/Oct issue of Paper Crafts magazine! Here are a couple of cards from when this set was first released ...






It's been fun focusing on this set, seeing how others have used it and looking back at cards I created back in February. I hope you join me again tomorrow for the next stamp set focus?! 
Thanks for stopping by today.

Word on the street is ...

Some trends are simply timeless!

Well thats what I've heard over on Moxie Fab World & if there is one person who knows about trends in the crafting world it would be Cath Edvalson! 

So, it looks like Uniko Studio is on trend with Decorative Doilies - The Hands of Time! There are a few challenges over on Moxie Fab World and one of them is a Doilies & Lace challenge HERE. So I just had to ink up my set! 

Heres what I came up with ...





I paired the doilies on this one layer card with a sentiment from FONTiments - Birthday. To make the card I stamped a variety of the doilies contained in the set using Memento Black ink. I then used my Raspberry Copic marker to colour in various areas of the doilies. I added a few gems and adhered it to a Raspberry Fizz CS base. 

It was time consuming but therapeutic to colour the doilies in and I will definitely be making a few more of these in other colours! 

That's all from me today! Be sure to pop over to Moxie Fab World and check out & have a go at the challenges over there - they're good fun! Plus you can incorporate your Uniko Studio stamps in the challenges too!

Thanks for stopping by!
