Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Snow

 Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

Vinita here, Are you ready for a beautiful winter card with snowflakes............ Snow love is here!

  I stamped my snowflakes from the framed snowflakes stamp set on a white card panel using the Unchanted Mariner DI. Then I ink-blended my background using picked raspberry and lumber plaid DI.

Once again I heat embossed in opaque bright white EP for more snowflake elements from the same set and added some splatters using silver perfect pearl. I love the wholesome look!

I used the bold snow die with outline coverage in a white scrap piece, which was left after blending the background with a glitter silver CS. To finish it off, I added the Let It sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this card!

Happy crafting!

BA Inspiration - Snowflakes Framed Two Ways

 Good afternoon, Julie here with a little bit of festive inspiration using the newly released Framed Snowflakes stamp set. If you saw the release in review post on Saturday, you'll recognise this new stamp set. I had to make a card for the new challenge at Color Hues so thought I would share that card together with another made from a panel I had leftover from the release day blog hop that I didn't use. Here are both cards, same stamp for the main panel but two different looks.

This first card uses the leftover panel but I chopped it in half and turned each half around! To make the panel I simply stamped the stamp onto a white card panel and heat embossed with fine white EP. When cool, I inked in some bright DIs with a blending brush, Blueprint Sketch, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron, randomly over the top. All excess ink was removed with a soft cloth before biting the bullet and cutting it in half.

Each half was then rotated and glued to my base card, leaving a gap in the center. This I covered with my sentiment banner, from Christmas Wishes. I stamped a few matching snowflakes from Snowflake Serenade. before adding it across the center. A couple of strips of glitter paper just neatened up the central panel.

Finally this is the card I made for the Color Hues challenge, a simple almost one layer card. The stamp stamped as before but this time straight onto a base card. A mix of Wilted Violet and Salty Ocean DI blended over the top and a fussy cut sentiment from Stunning Snowflakes added on pads.

A few PPP sequins to add sparkle complete the design. I think it would be a great idea for batch making, simply stamp your sentiment directly onto the card to make it perfect for posting!

That's it from me for today, hope I've given you some inspiration for your Christmas makes.

12 Days of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways - Day 3

  

Hello & Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways - Day 3

Every Friday, I will have a new Christmas themed card or project to share with you, along with a video showing how I made it. Plus, if you watch the video you will find out what the giveaway is and how to enter for your chance to win 😊 All the videos are HERE on the Uniko YouTube Channel.

This week has been all about our New Release and introducing the new clear stamps available tomorrow! And I planned it a little bit that I would be introducing our new Framed Snowflakes HERE today, so I thought I would use the set a little more in todays video.

This is the card I made testing my idea to step inside the frame and infill the sentiment gap with more pretty snowflakes to make a whole yummy snowflake panel.  Lots of sparkly embossing, some simple colouring and a fun clean and simple design.

And below is the version I made during my video HERE today. Same concept, same amount of sparkle, but a little less colouring!

I hope you enjoy the video and don't forget you need to watch to find out about the giveaway and how to enter to be in the chance of winning. If you have any festive requests for upcoming 12 Days Of Christmas videos, please add them to the comments here or on any of Uniko's social media.

Introducing... Framed - Snowflakes

Welcome to Day 4 and the final day of the product introductions for our October Release. 

Today I am introducing a new addition to our Framed Series and hopefully a clear stamp set that fills a snowflake gap in the Uniko clear stamp line up! 

Just like the other sets in the Framed Series, this clear stamp set features a main frame stamp filled with new pretty snowflakes with a gap left for your chosen sentiment. There are also 4 individual snowflake stamps perfect for adding details and creating your own beautiful backgrounds.

For my first card today I started with an Aqua Sky card panel. I then used Distress Oxide Ink in Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet to create a spotlight effect for my sentiment. After my ink blending was dry, I left it overnight, but you could heat set. I then went to stamping the frame in VersaMark ink and heat embossing in white.

 

I then stamped my sentiment from Most Wonderful before fussy cutting the frame out before adhering to my white card base with double sided tape. I also stamped a trio of individual snowflakes, heat embossed and fussy cut them to adhering with foam adhesive.

For my second card today I wanted to feature the individual snowflakes for a clean & simple design. I started by masking off a section on my base card and then ink blended Peacock Feathers and Wilted Violet.

I then stamped the snowflakes and my chosen sentiment from Stunning Snowflakes in Nocturne ink & heat embossed with Stardust embossing powder. Simple, but with lots of sparkle!

That's all I have to share just now, but I will be back this afternoon with more to share & this weeks instalment of our 12 Days of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways! I do hope you will pop back then to see what I am making and watch my video to find out about this weeks prize.

If you missed Day 1, Day 2 and day 3 product introductions, you can catch up HERE, HERE and HERE. So that's all the introductions, which means tomorrow is release day. They will be available 9pm BST and we will have our usual Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway at 9am BST here on the blog.
