Uniko - July Release and Reveal ....

... Good afternoon from a tropically hot Northville! We've got blue skies, brilliant sunshine and building humidity! The temperature at the moment, 12.30pm is 30C (86F), and the weatherman says that it'll get to 32C (89F) by late this afternoon. So it's nice to play in my craft room where I've got air conditioning! I'm busy making DT cards for upcoming posts.

It's release day for Uniko's new stamp sets and they have a distinctly tropical theme! First up is a large set featuring lush flowers and Bob the toucan!

This is such a versatile and fun set and Bev has made some lovely cards which you can see here. This set will work for both masculine and feminine style cards. My first thought when I saw the images was a toucan on a beer mug - does anyone else remember the Guinness ads? See end of post.

Bev has also got a smaller set of wonderfully lush tropical leaves that will work with Paradise (above) and also with the super Hummingbird set.

The Design Team will be showcasing this release on a special date - 25th June, when there will be the chance to win the entire June release as well as the previously released Paradise Hummingbird.

But, in the meantime, you can get a sneak peek of some finished cards on Bev's blog and also on Sarah P's blog.

Now, before I go, here's that link to one of the Guinness adverts - from 1981 - I'd forgotten they were that old!

Uniko - Sneak Peek .....

..... Hello, good morning! I'm here today with a couple of sneak peeks of the new release from Uniko. Bev has two super fun sets for us this month - they will be available tomorrow! First up is this set:

You can probably guess the theme - tropical - it's very on-trend set with so many possibilities. This set works really well with Hummingbird - a previously released set. And here's a look at the second set:

Love these lush looking leaves; Bev draws the most gorgeous leaves and these tropical beauties will work perfectly with many of her sets. Full details of the release schedule are as follows:
