Uniko Sponsors the Winter / Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hey & Happy Friday!

I'm super happy you have stopped by today, we have a lot going on at Uniko HQ today, be sure to stop by the Uniko December Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY post HERE.

AND...

Uniko is honoured to be invited by the lovely Amy from Tsuruta Designs and is proudly to be sponsoring another fun blog hop and challenge...




The winner of the Uniko prize will receive an £15 eGift Certificate to spend in store :)

Anyone is eligible for a Super Sponsor prize if they link up a newly created Fall Themed Coffee, Tea & or Cocoa project, no back-linkng please. Random.org will be used to draw the winners.

To link up your projects and more details about the hop and Super Sponsors pop on over to the Coffee Loving Carmakers Blog HERE.

To kick this FABulous hop off I've created my own Winter/Holiday themed coffee card...




Of course I had to ink up the recently released Uniko I LOVE Coffee clear stamp set for my card and combined it with one of my other favourite Winter themed sets Stunning Snowflakes!




The layout of my card is 'loosely' based around the current CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below and my colour choice is inspired by the current Color Throwdown colours seen HERE and below.






That's all from me, but a couple of the Uniko Design Team members are joining in on the fun and have created a project to share with you. Be sure to click on the links below the photos to pop by and leave them some LOVE :)

December 2015 Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hey!

I'm SO happy you've stopped by the blog today as today is the December 2015 Design Team Blog Hop. Along with the hop we have a GIVEAWAY! So be sure to grab a drink, get comfy, relax and enjoy!

As we've quite a few new followers here, ("Hello & Thank you") I will explain what's going on! Here at Uniko I *USUALLY* 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 HQ. I currently run this little business single handedly, designing, blogging, demoing, classes, packing. Alongside that I am a full time mum to 13  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 as we are FAST approaching Christmas I decided to dust off the previously released Background Builders: Christmas to give you all some last minute inspiration & me the opportunity to make more much needed Christmas cards!




As you can see this set features a wonderful selection of Christmas background building strips, some of which are even suitable all year round.

As always I like to share a couple of my 'old faves' using the sets...




This first card features the 2 step stamping holly building stamps & is paired with sentiments from All Occasion Sentiments #4. My next card shows how the set can be used all year round...




And here is a new project featuring the set...



Usually I would reach for the snowflakes as they are my favourite, but after choosing an old favourite above I reached for the 2 step holly stamps. I decided to play along at CAS Colours & Sketches again  HERE and this week it is choose a sketch from 2015 and make it Christmassy.




The sketch I chose to work with is from challenge #111 HERE and seen below, some fun diagonals another favourite of mine ;)




I decided to make a one layer card for easy Christmas mailing and I defined my triangular panels my using two shades of green to stamp the holly leaves, which I think creates a lovely effect. I decided to keep the sentiment simple & stamped it in black ink to stand out against the pattern. I was toying with the idea of adding an embellishment but thought it would distract from the focus of the two tone holly and the CASness of the sketch and card design, so left it off. I'd love to know what you think :)




Ok, that is all from me but how about some more inspiration from the awesome DT.

AND don't forget the GIVEAWAY... Simply comment along the hop by midnight Thursday 31st December 2015 (GMT) for your chance to win the featured set or a eGift Certificate code to the same value if you already own them...
