Release Day, Blog Hop and Giveaway

Good morning. It's release day at Uniko and we are giving you the chance to win the whole release in our blog hop. Just leave a comment as you hop along to win, simples!! The stamps and stencil are also available to purchase here.

My first card using the new release, combines Mid Century Modern Frames and Purrfect for this 50's inspired card.



The largest of the frames was stamped followed by the cat outline. I didn't need to mask it off as I was going to colour it with black Copic. I also stamped a few of the small atomic elements in black. The sentiment is from the frames set too.

Keeping with the cat set, I created this fun card.


I used a Sizzix plate die for the circular openings as well as a couple more made using a punch. The solid cat was stamped in various directions with Memento Tuxedo Black onto the largest 7 circles, adding the features with clear EP and white gel pen. The smaller circles were placed back into the panel and secured at the back with tape, the stamped ones placed in and similarly secured before adding to a white base card. A sentiment combining the Mid Century modern Frames and Purrfect sets completes.

My next card is very simple and uses the BB Mid Century Linear Lines stamp.



I simply stamped and embossed the lines a few times in my MISTI to build up the dimension then added the sentiment, So Much, with Jewelled Gold EP and fussy cut. The finished panel was added to a matching base card on pads.

Now do you remember my stencil panel card from yesterday? Well here is the other half in another masculine birthday card.


I simply trimmed the leftover panel down, cut it into two and popped both pieces up on pads onto an A6 base card with the sentiment from Floral Vines stamped in black in the gap. It was a bit of a faff to get all the different colours inked onto the panel so I'm pleased I managed to make two cards from the one panel!

So what do you think? I know I've had fun playing with the new release and I know the rest of the girls have had a fun time playing too. For the chance to win the full release hop along to leave some love as Bev will be drawing one lucky commenter from blogs and social media to win.

Happy hopping!
