Challenge #91 CASE Beverley Brown

Hi everyone!

One fortnight flew by again and we have a new challenge for you. This time it's one of our CASE With Your Own Twist challenges and we have the great joy to CASE (=copy and share everything) Beverley Brown from Uniko Studio. Uniko is one of our regular sponsors and we are very excited to get to CASE Bev -she  used to be a DT member here at TIME OUT before her business and little twins stole her from us! :) This challenge is also sponsored by Uniko  our winner (chosen by the DT) will receive a £15 gift voucher to Uniko store.

Before we'll have a look at Beverley's card, let's read what she tells us about herself!


My name is Beverley Brown and I am the owner of Uniko Ltd, a small family run business based in the North East of the United Kingdom.

Uniko specialises in clear stamps, which are designed specifically for stampers by myself an avid stamper. You will see that my designs are unique, clean styled, modern and trendy. Having a love for pattern design and completing a design degree I have a wealth of knowledge and understanding, often looking to current and future trends when designing my products.

I pride myself in providing high quality, clear photopolymer stamps at an affordable price. With an aim to provide beautiful products which give you the tools to create beautiful handmade cards and gifts. Knowing that you are the heart and soul of the paper crafting community I am committed to exceeding your expectations in the quality of our products and customer service.

Now it's time for Bev's extremely inspiring card! 


Wow and wow... I bet it will be so fun for you to CASE this card! Those bold stripes, the floral image and Bev's color palette all look so beautiful! Let's see how our design team members along with our Guest Designer Lucie  were inspired. If you don't know Lucie yet you'll love what you see in her blog Lucie G's Creative Space, she has great eye for design and detail!

Fantastic inspiration, I'm sure you'll all agree! Now it's your turn to take TIME OUT and CASE Bev With your Own Twist. The main thing is to be inspired and have fun, that's what the "Own Twist" is all about -feel free to use completely different colours for example. Enjoy!

This challenge runs until 5 pm Wednesday 13th of September.

Reminder #90

Hello There,

We are here to remind you that there is still time to join in our current challenge:

Autumn with the optional twist of Speed Stamping


We are defining speed stamping as making your card in 10 mins or less. This excludes the time you need to plan the design and get all your products ready to make the card.

So get all your cardstock, dies, inks etc ready before you start the clock!

This speed stamping is optional and purely just for fun. We would love you to tell us how long it took you to make your card. We have a prize for all those who choose to speed stamp but this will not be for the fastest just chosen randomly from those who just have a go!


Our prize is a $15 gift voucher from our superb sponsors Happy Little Stamper

Happy Little Stampers

Our very creative Guest Designer, Elaine, is joining us again this week and she has been speed stamping!

Now some inspiration from Elaine and the DT-you will see those of the team who used speed stamping have let you know how long it took them to make their cards!
