Uniko October Release Blog Hop

Well have you spent up on Christmas card making supplies yet? And have you seen the wonderful new Christmas themed release from Uniko? Perhaps you'd like the chance to win them? Read on and find out how.

But first some inspiration using Uniko's new Christmas release to make you want them even more! I've chosen a simple colour scheme of black, white, kraft and pale turquoise and been busy crafting up some ideas.


This particular stamp set - Winter Foliage - is an oldie but goodie given a brand new lease of life with its matching designer dies. It has to be my favourite from this release and has barely moved off my craft room table since I opened it. I paired it up with another go to for me at the moment - Festive Sentiments Outlined.


Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Winter Foliage, Festive Sentiments Outlined
Inks: Versafine Clair, nocturne; SU, tempting turquoise
Card: Papermilldirect, pale turquoise, black; AC, kraft
Dies: Uniko, Winter Foliage; Lawn Fawn, stitched rectangle frames

Next up is the pretty Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas. Once again I've paired it up with a greeting from Festive Sentiments Outlined.


I stamped and heat embossed the block onto kraft card and then added colours using my Prismacolor pencils.


Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas, Festive Sentiments Outlined
Inks: Versamark + Ranger superfine black embossing powder
Card: Papermilldirect, pale turquoise, black; AC, kraft
Colours: Prismacolor, white, light aqua

My next card uses the leaves from Season of Beauty stamped in lack and turquoise. the greeting is also from this stamp set - such great value!


I added in some of the tiny stamps from the set and a trio of clear gems too.


Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Season of Beauty
Inks: Versafine Clair, nocturne; SU, tempting turquiose
Card: Papermilldirect, pale turquoise, black; AC, kraft
Embellisment: Pretty Pink Posh, clear gems

My final share is something completely different! I die cut the  Sparkling Snowflake four times and then adhered them together to create a hanging tree bauble. And I couldn't resist adding some Stickles sparkle as well.


Supplies:
Die: Uniko, Sparkling snowflake
Card: Papermilldirect, pale turquoise
Stickles, waterfall

That's all my shares for today. Now you need to get yourself on over to the Uniko blog to find out how to win and follow round the blog hop leaving comments as you go may just be the way.
