Good morning folks.
It's day 3 of the new release from Uniko. and today we introduce another set of dies to go with a previously released set. This time Bev has chosen Kindness Blooms to be the next die set release.
In my card I've used the dies to create my own letterpress elements, just to show you how you can get more from your dies.
I took the large looped outline from the set and cut 3 from card and one from vellum. I did the same for the leaf die but cut another two sets. Each element was then glued together, 3 card then one vellum to create your type-press block. The vellum needs to be the top layer as this is how you add the ink!
I prepared my BigShot for embossing, adding my tan mat over my base cutting plate. After deciding on the layout I carefully added the stacked die cuts to a panel of white card which I had previously laid onto the tan mat and placed the top plate over, trying very hard not to disturb the die cuts.
After running the sandwich through, I again moved carefully to remove the letterpress elements from the machine to reveal the design.
To complete I stamped the sentiment in matching ink and added some sequins and a large gem to the bloom center. I decided to trim the panel down a little and added it to a matching pink base card.
For more inspiration using these new dies, check out the rest of the team below.
