Uniko - Reveal, Release & Giveaway February 2020

Hi there and thanks for visiting me again today!
We've made it! Yeah!
You've survived the Sneaky Peeks and all those Introductions and now we have the BIG Reveal, Release and GIVEAWAY of this month's new stamp sets from Uniko celebrating their 8th Birthday!



Here's my cards showcasing these fabulous sets and they are now available in the shop HERE and waiting for you to buy! First up 2 'same but different' ones using BG Block Arts Decoratif, sentiments from Anniversaire Arts Decoratifs and the Kindness Blooms Designer Dies; all coloured with Zig Clear Brush pens.


Next up a trio of very similar cards using the same Background Block and more of the sentiments - hopefully teaming these with the gold gives them more of 1920s look!

 

Don't forget you can still join in the 'WIN STAMPS FOR A YEAR' competition by following this link to HUGE prize giveaway post!

So all that's left for me to do is set you off on the traditional Design Team Blog Hop and wish you luck; details are over on the Uniko blog HERE so if you get lost along the way just head back there.

Uniko Release IN REVIEW - Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY

Hi there and thanks for visiting me again today! The January release at Uniko was a little different to normal in that the Design Team only had one stamp set each to work with BUT all that has changed and we are now able to REVIEW the whole bundle!!!! 
Here's a couple of examples I've made to showcase the sets and I hope you like them. The release has already been on sale for a week or so and it's a great bundle for those Valentines, Anniversaries and Weddings in particular!
First up ... A trio of cards using a combination of the new sets: Background Block: Scattered Hearts, alongside the BIG & BOLD Love set with a sentiment, on the last one, from 'YOU ARE ... Sentiments Outlined'  

... Not exactly your traditional Valentine colours but I can't resist rainbow colours!

Still not those traditional Valentine colours but slightly less 'BOLD' than the first one!!

... and just because I rather liked this colour combo!

Next up using the Hello Lovely stamp and sentiments! What a delightful bouquet of blooms and it's great coloured or simply stamp the outline as I've done on the next card. This one is a bit of both with a 'popped up' coloured section, using Polychromos and a strip of patterned paper and self-adhesive pearls to accessorise.

Last one for today ... another example using sentiments from BIG & BOLD - LOVE; this time teamed with the Hello Lovely bouquet. I stamped the bouquet twice at both ends of the panel then coloured some cardstock with Promarkers to create my sentiment panel, with matching strips down the side. 

Although this review is a little later than the original release date, there's still the traditional BIG Reveal, Release and Blog Hop GIVEAWAY to look forward too!
So here's the list you need and all the details including prizes, are over on the Uniko blog HERE if you get lost along the way just head back there.

Uniko Release Day - January 2020

Hi there and thanks for visiting me today!
It's a bit of a different release this month as it's come around so quickly since Christmas and the team haven't received the new goodies so didn't take part in the usual introductions BUT if you've been following the Uniko blog HERE you'll have seen Bev has been working her little socks off with some fantastic ideas using the new stamp sets.
SO for today it's just straight into the BIG Reveal, Release and GIVEAWAY of this month's new stamp sets from Uniko including the RE-RELEASE of Always and Forever, which I've used here for 2 new examples ... using this set:
For the first one it's straight stamping using Altenew Inks with a sentiment duo from BIG & BOLD Hugs and a strip of striped washi tape down the right-hand border. there's also some glamour dust to the flowers but sadly, not really evident in the photo.

This one includes a dry-embossed background panel with the Uniko stamps, on the front panel mounted on 3d foam. The images were inked in Versamark ink before heat-embossing with white embossing powder then blended using distress inks with a few splatters of Perfect Pearls and water to finish.

All that's left for me to do is set you off on the traditional Design Team Blog Hop and wish you luck. Details are over on the Uniko blog HERE so if you get lost along the way just head back there.

Uniko - Reveal, Release & Giveaway October 2019

Hi crafty friends and I'm thrilled you've stopped by my blog today as it's the BIG Reveal, Release and GIVEAWAY of this month's new products from Uniko
You've no doubt noticed Bev has been showcasing these new goodies for the last few weeks since they were on sale at the Happy Stampers Festival in Port Sunlight at the beginning of the month. Today my fellow teamies and I are posting our creations, whilst inviting you to join the traditional release day blog hop, at the same time.
So First up I couldn't resist testing this gorgeous new Winter Foliage stencil with some beautiful WOW sparkling embossing powder, which I bought at Port Sunlight, over texture paste. The stencil coordinates beautifully with many of the previously released sets, but here I've teamed it with one of the new Festive Sentiments Outlined.

Next up I've teamed up the new Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas with Festive Sentiments Outlined. The sentiments were stamped in Versamark Ink then embossed with clear embossing powder to create a tone on tone look 

 

Another one using these same sets in a different way; firstly inking up a panel with 3 distress oxide inks in tones of pink and red before heat embossing the background block with Versafine ink and clear embossing powder. To add some extra detail I've used tinsel white embossing powder as glitter to highlight some of the images and sentiment.

Next up a trio using the new large stamp set, called Season of Beauty. It's a modern twist on a poinsettia style bloom which can be used in non-traditional colourways as I've shown here. There's also some gorgeous foliage in the set and festive sentiments too. 

This next one is a very simple effect using white embossing to one of the foliage images then adding some sparkly glitter to the edges and sentiment. IRL it pops dramatically on the dark grey card stock.

Finally using the new coordinating designer dies for Winter Foliage to match the ever popular stamp set and I'm delighted that we now have dies to cut those fiddly holly leaves, berries and sprigs of garland. I've added a glittery gold embossed sentiment from the Season of Beauty set to finish this festive card.

Finally here's the long awaited BIG & BOLD Snow die, with shadow die, to match the previously released stamp set. Using one of my all time favourite Uniko sets for Christmas; Stunning Snowflakes, I've stamped a background for my card using Altenew Inks before adding the die-cut embossed 'snow' sentiment.

Sadly I ran out of time and have yet to create a card with the new Stunning Snowflake die but I have a sparkly die-cut waiting to go when I get a moment!

I hope you've enjoyed viewing my examples and please pop along to visit my fellow Design Team members - you won't be disappointed and may I wish you luck on the HOP!
