K1-1299 - Wild Birtday - Uniko-Birthday

Let's party! cause Uniko turns 8 this month!
On the Uniko Blog you'll find all details needed to celebrate with us!

K1-1299 - Wild Birtday

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

To inspire you and bring you into party mood, I made a wild and funny (male) birthday card!

In my Washi Tape drawer I found this cute animal-printed tape-
The nine different animals have the perfect size for a horizontal Din A6 cardfront. 
The tape has only two shades of teal plus white, so I decided to continue this colour scheme in a monochromatic card with only  different shadings of teal plus white.
Was easy-peasy, cause the Oxide Inks evergreen bough and pine needles have almost the same shades of teal / green like the tape.
The papers beneath the sentiment strips are self-coloured to get the perfect tone.

For the background I stamped a part of the brand new "Background Blocks - Scattered Hearts" and the rest of the card was made with the "Wild" stamp set from last year.
All coloured parts were made with the two Oxide Inks and a waterbrush - nothing more!

Update: 2020/02-06:
I couldn't resist and added a little bit of Glitter to the pawprints ...

K1-1294 - Sweetheart - Uniko #57 Reminder

Two weeks ago the first Uniko Challenge of 2020 started and today Iwant to remind you about it!

It's still enough time to play! Three more weeks, until Friday, 21st February.

It's an Anything Goes Challenge with the optional twist of Cool Winter Colours.

K1-1294 - Sweetheart

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

I made a monochromatic card.
It's almost a one layer card, but it has a little sentiment banner, adhered with thin 3D pads.
The main patterned area I masked off and then coloured with Oxide Inks through the "Doodle Flower" Stencil.
Then I stamped some extra hearts from the "Always & Forever" set and embellished them with a gold metallic pencil so the colour fitting Washitape with the golden arrows is integrated perfectly in the design.
The little sentiment strip is made with the same colours like the flowers nad stamped with stamps from two sets - "Always & Forever" again and "Reach for the Stars".

K1-1296 & K1-1297 - Two "Love You Always" cards / Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration

Sorry for the long rest in my online activities! We had several private things (from family stuff to healty stuff to demages in the house...) to take care for during the last few monthes - some of them were / are very time consuming and so I need time for these things instead of crafting and blogging... sad but necessary!

But now I'm hopefully back here and we can start an exciting and creative new year with lots of fun and inspirations!
Let's get started!

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

Today there is a Blog HOP & Giveaway on the UNIKO Blog!

January 2020 Release In Review!

I made two CAS (clean and simple) cards with the new "Always & Forever" stamp set. 
One is a real OLC (one layer card), the other one is very close to an OLC.

The layout or sketch is similar, but the second card has a little twist - I stamped the heart twice, one time directly on the card, the second time on an extra piece of paper. This one I fussycut out without the stitching line and added it with dimensional pads on the other (darker) one. So the darker stitching line of the cardbase-heart peeks out from below. 
I like this nice effect!

K1-1261 - Folk-Snowflake Background - Detail

:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:

The steps to create a card like this one are so easy and they don't need lots of time!

• Create an easy and colourful background paper with two or three alcohol inks and the smooshing technique.
  Pep it up with a bit of additional ink ot blending solution (splatters ot brush strokes).
• Take your Christmas Folk Snowflake Stencil and trace all edges with a fine marker. Work slow and careful to get a good result!
• Cut this paper, have an eye on the pattern (there are different possibilities).
• Adhere the paper on a fitting coloured paper and these two layers on your card base or adhere your paper directly on the card front.
• Stamp the sentiment three times in different colours or techniques. In my case I stamped them in Distress Oxide Inks, picked raspberry and abandoned coral (mixed them on the stamp). The first one I just let as it was, the second one I covered with a clear star gelly roll pencil and the third one I heat embossed with fine clear powder.
• I cut out 1/4 of one snowflake / star of the background pattern and put it on the sentiment layer.
  Adhere this sentiment layer with 3D pads on the front. It's extra eye catching when you insert the little cut out piece in the original background pattern - same position of the elements!
• If you want, you can embellish the card with some glitter or enamel doots, rhinestones, pearls or sequins. But don't do too much, sometimes less is more when you have a busy background!
