Uniko - October New Release Reveal & Blog Hop

YAY!!! It's finally Uniko's October release day!!!

And here they all are ready and waiting for your orders:

 

 

  

And of course I have some samples using these fabulous new sets to share with you today.



I'm so loving the look of black and white on kraft cardstock that I got carried away and made a matching card and tag set.


The card features three raised elements - Santa, star and tree - created by stamping onto scrap card and hand cutting before popping up onto pads. I've also highlighted and coloured some of the letters and elements using a white pencil - have I said I'm totally in love with this look? Mmm, thought so!

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Block Party Christmas
Ink: Mememnto, tuxedo black
Die: Lil'inker, stichd mats rectangles
Colour: Prismacolor, white


The tag also features a hand cut Santa, this time heat embossed and very shiny. He's sitting on top of a die cut wreath and the addition of some sparkly gems to finish it all off a treat.

Supplies:
Stamps:Uniko, Background Blocks Wonky Stripes, Festive Sentiments, Block Party Christmas
Inks:  Versamark + Ranger Superfine black & white embossing powder
Dies: MFT Die-namics, basic stitched tags; Xcut Spiro circles
Card: AC, kraft cardstock
Embellishments: Prismacolor pencil, white; Bling Bling, gems 

 My next card uses those beautiful falling snowflakes and gave me an excuse to get very messy with brushos in some of my favourite colours.
 

I heat embossed the snowflakes in white and then added the brusho powders - stunning magic happened with a little added water! I then framed the whole thing, added a sentiment and matted it onto purple card.


Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Background Blocks Falling Snow, Festive Sentiments
Inks: Versamark + WOW! Sparkling Snow embossing powder; Memento, grape jelly; Brusho, ultra marine, turquoise, violet
Die: Lawn Fawn, stiched rectangle frames 

My final card for this release uses the oh so pretty and whimsical Organic Wishes.  



I started by randomly stamping and heat embossing just about all of the different seed heads from this set. I then applied distress ink over the top using some lovely bright colours. I die cut this panel and matted it onto black cardstock and stamped a sentiment onto a stitched rectangle. I think I'm in love with the dramatic and vibrant look of this card.



As they say in theatrical circles 'that's a wrap'. I hope I've given you food for thought and helped you to make up your mind about which stamps sets are the ones winging their way into your basket - probably all of them, how can you possibly resist?

And just to add to your decisions here are a few extra bonus products included in this release.

Two die sets:

 

And two stencils:
  

Now I just need to leave you with the blog hop order so that you can soak up the inspiration from all the Uniko DT. And as usual there will be a giveaway, check out all the details HERE.

Jane - that's me

Thanks for looking today. And keep crafting!

  4. Goodness, Jane, you've designed a series of amazing cards to showcase the new release! The colourful snowflakes and organic wishes cards are incredibly pretty; your kraft/black/white card and tag...oh my stars! Those are the showstoppers for me! I'm beyond anxious to get my sets; I have some catching up (and casing *grin*) to do! I wonder if we can 'convince' Bev to make a matching die for Santa!

  24. WOW Jane! You really have worked wonders with these stamps :) The black, white and kraft colour combo is classic and stunning, I especially like how you spotlighted some of the images by stamping them again and raising them with foam adhesive. Your Brusho snowflake card is simply elegant and I love the bright and cheeriness of your Organic Wishes card. Overall an amazing showcase of these stamps, thank you so much. Hugs Bev x
