Shadow Stamping

Good Morning,

It's time for another challenge at Less Is More and this week is a one layer card featuring Shadow Stamping. I couldn't wait to have another play with the gorgeous Background Builders Vines set that was released yesterday at Uniko Studio. I just love love love this set.  I don't know if my shadow stamping has shown up too well in my photo though as all the stamps as quite little. But I promise I did do it!

Supplies Used:
Uniko Studio - Background Builders - Vines
Stampin Up - Express Yourself
Twine from my stash
Ink Duster

I have a whole day of crafting ahead of me and I can't wait.

Uniko Studio April Release & Reveal

Good Morning,

It's release day at Uniko Studio, so we can finally share with your the April release in full and I am sure you won't be disappointed.

First up is Background Builders - Vines, I have fallen head over heals in love with this set, so many great stamps in it. You will be seeing a lot more of this set from me in the coming weeks.

The second set is Flower Power #4, a great addition to the flower power series and I love those cute stitched leaves.

Both sets are available in store now, so quick go get them before they go!

I have a couple of cards to share with you using these sets, my first card is using the Background Builders Vines set (have I said how much I love this set?)

Next is my card using the Flower Power #4 set and I have used one of the tiny flowers from the Background Builders set as a small highlight and the sentiment is from the Uniko stamp set 'Time'.

Usually at this point we would have a Design Team Blog Hop, but due to some hiccups this is being delayed until the 26th April and all the Design Team will have samples from these sets, so hopefully you will manage to join in then.  And yes Beverley will kindly have some more prizes up for grabs.

Good Afternoon,

So how does my card fit into the 'helpful hints' for a CAS card

Turquoise

Good Morning,

It's a colour challenge this week at Less Is More and the chosen colour is 'Turquoise'.  I love any shade of blue so have lots of ideas in my head, but my card is one that I made cause I recently bought some new Simon Says Stamp sentiments and I wanted to try them out.

Glitter from my stash

Will hopefully get a bit more crafting done this morning.

Uniko Studio Challenge - More Inspiration

Good Morning,

There is only 10 days until the end of the Monthly challenge at Uniko Studio so I thought I would hopefully give you all a bit more inspiration.  The matching dies for the Beautiful Blooms I are fairly new to the store so when I got my hands on them I couldn't wait to have a play about with them.  They are in stock at the moment, so click here to get your hands on them.

Supplies Used:
Uniko Studio - Beautiful Blooms I Stamp and Die
Uniko Studio - Time (Sentiment)
Stampin Up - Distress Tool

Here is the colour scheme for the challenge, you can use all the colours or just one. As you can see I chosen only one colour and used that as the focus of my card.  The theme is 'Hello Spring' and flowers certainly say Spring to me.

Thanks for visiting and hopefully I will get to see some wonderful Uniko creations from you all.

So how does my card fit into the 'helpful hints' for a CAS card

• Quick & easy to recreate - Stamp, colour, die cut and position = super quick & easy
