November 2016 Reveal, Release & GIVEAWAY!
Hey & Welcome to the Uniko November 2016 Reveal, Release & GIVEAWAY!
As we’ve quite a few new followers here, (“Hello & Thank you”) I will explain what’s going on! Here at Uniko I *USUALLY* only release new products every other month. This is for a number of reasons, firstly, being an avid paper crafter myself and knowing the current economic climate I know ‘some’ are on a limited budget when it comes to buying new stash, so this way you’re not tempted to splurge too much every month.
The second reason is that it is just me here at Uniko HQ. I currently run this little business single handedly, designing, blogging, demoing, classes, packing. Alongside that I am a full time mum to 2 year old twin boys. So releasing every other month gives me chance to keep my head above water, well…just about! However, with having a break over the Summer with releases I wanted to squeeze one last release in before the end of the year!
If you missed any of the product introductions, you can catch up HERE and HERE.
Let’s have a look at the three clear stamp sets…
First up is Christmas Pop, this is a FUN geometric styled Christmas Tree building stamp set. Along with the obvious Christmas theme it is also suitable for other occasions and stylised creations.

Next we have a mini Christmas Sentiment clear stamp set called Most Wonderful. This set contains two full mixed font sentiments and then a multitude of mix font sentiment building stamps.

Lastly but by no means least we have a fun addition to the ‘Rustic’ collection! This fun mini set has so many possibilities on its own, but pair it with sentiments and images from Rustic Christmas and Background Builders: Vines and Vines Winter Additions for even MORE possibilities!

Now I have done all the formal introductions, how about some more cards using these sets to inspire you…

First up I have used Christmas Pop in a non Christmas way. This set contains some fun geometric triangles and I couldn’t resit using them to create a funky background for a birthday card.

I used two of the triangles to create my BG and then I coloured sections of the decreasing triangle one using my Stampin’ Up! bright marker collection. I then stamped a sentiment from Simply Said Birthday onto a banner die cut (Project Life) and adhered it to the card using foam adhesive.
Next I decided to go Christmassy, I really need to build up my stash of Christmas cards ready to send out 😉 This time I opted for a reasonably quick CAS card using the outline tree and some Papertrey Ink Bitty Dot Designer Paper.

After fussy cutting the Christmas Trees, which too the longest! I stacked/layered them one on top of the other leaving a small border to create taller elongated tree. The sentiment is from Most Wonderful and I finished the card off with a few sparkly star embellishments.

My last card for today uses Rustic Wreath. This time I used the wreath to make a garland along the edge of my card. I embellished the garland with a couple of the smaller stamps from the set to fill it out and add interest.

I then stamped the ‘deck the halls’ sentiment in Chocolate Chip ink, to tie in with the berry sprig stamped in the garland. To finish the card off I stamped a cluster of the smaller images from the set to embellish the sentiment as it needed a little something to balance the card out.

These are beautiful cards Bev! I love how you’ve used the geometrical trees in a creative and new way!! Techniques that help us stretch our supplies are my favorite and using stamps in unexpected ways is so clever!! I adore your CAS card and the softness of the wreath card is amazing! All the stamped elements look very harmonious together. Thanks for sharing.
cheers

That geometric birthday card looks fabulous, Bev! I love the bold black stripes and pops of colour. The way you have used the wreath to create a garland/festive border is so creative too 🙂 This is a fab release and I had lots of fun playing with the stamps x
Love, love the birthday card – would make a wonderful masculine card! The dotty Christmas tree is such fun and the wreath border is so elegant. Love this release! xxx
Lovely cards and stunning stamps.
I want them all ❤
The geometric, artsy birthday card, to the trio of stacked trees to the oh-so-pretty vine garland and pine cones (which I adore!!)…absolutely marvelous! Clever showcases of ‘thinking outside the box’, which amplifies just how versatile these sets are! A whole lot of WOW happening here!

You really know how to work magic with your sets Bev, totally inspiring. The first one using the tree to create a geometric pattern is inspired and the other Christmas cakes are so elegant and classy. Awesome colour combos too. Hope you’re really busy with orders as these are just fantastic sets for Christmas … and birthdays obviously! x
