Uniko - April Release Day & Blog hop

YAY! Today is release day at Uniko and the first chance to see the new stamp sets in their entirety. A delightful duo of deliciousness!

  

I have two cards to share today and my first uses the oh so scrummy Celebate with Cake. Who doesn't love cupcakes?


I paired up this set with some patterned paper and matched the ink colours accordingly.


Supplies: Stamps: Uniko, Celebrate With Cake
Inks: SU, mint macaron, crisp cantaloupe, mosst meadow
Dies: Spellbinders standard circles small; Lawn Fawn, large stitched square tackables
Paper: SU, Birthday Bouquet
Embellishments: Papermania, iridescent adhesive stones; Wink of Stella 

My second card using Fun Flowers sees me slipping back to my all time favourite purple colours.


I paired this set up with one of Uniko's All Occasion Sentiments and tried to achieve an ombre effect using three of the purple shades.


Supplies: 
Stamps: Uniko, Fun Flowers, All Occasion Sentiments #6
Inks: Memento, lulu lavendar, sweet plum, grape jelly, elderberry

I'm keeping my blogging fairly brief today. It would be so easy to let the writing flow about these amazing new stamps, but I know you're going to be keen to get buying and/or trying to win them. So I'll cut to the chase and just add the blog hop order straightaway:

Jane - that's me

Thanks for finding time to stop by today, so pleased to see you.  And keep crafting!

    Striking perfect elegance Jane and love your colour combos! Now did you say you don't like orange? I'd never have guessed on that first one ... you should use it more often as it's magic here. Sarah x

    Two stunning cards with CAS perfection. Love the patterned paper you have paired with the cupcake and the gradient of purples on your second is delightful. A wonderful showcase of these two sets as always ;) Hugs Bev x
