Good morning, time for a few more ideas using the stamps from the new release which are available on the Uniko page now.
My first card is simply another way to use the Framed Fairy Lights.
Once the lights were stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with white EP, I added dark blue watercolour to the background and coloured the lights with Zig markers. The panel was trimmed to the edge of the embossed frame and added to a note card, a simple white embossed sentiment from the set completes.
My second card uses the BB Snow Flurry and Christmas Pop stamp sets to create this little scene.
The Trees were stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with white EP before cutting out, the snow flurry was simply stamped in dark blue ink and cut to leave a small border. A small panel of matching white card was scored using a scoreboard and added to the Snow Flurry panel and the trees added on top. The sentiment from Peace on Earth was with Versamark and Silver EP.

This next card was inspired by a comment my daughter made when she was over about it being the lines of a carol so why not include some music in the design.
On a panel of white card I stamped the JOY from Big n Bold with Versamark and heat embossed with gold EP. I then added the text and music in black and a couple of holly sprigs for added festive charm. I hope I haven't infringed any copyrights with my stamped snippet of score!!
My final card uses that fab poinsettia stamp.
I have to admit that this should have been used in a card earlier this week but life got in the way as well as an inky splat on the OLC I was making!! Anyway I decided I had spent too much effort on colouring it to not make a card and while pondering what to do I came across the Case a DT member at JUGS. When I saw Elizabeth's card I knew I could use my poinsettia!
I used the same orientation as her card, the circle aperture, the floral motif, red and green colours along with gold embossing on the flowers but put my own spin on it.
I stamped the poinsettia with Altenew Silver Stone ink first as I wanted to colour it with Copic markers and they don't mix well with EP, so I left the stamp in my MISTI whilst I coloured it.
Once coloured, I placed it back into the MISTI and stamped over it with Versamark and embossed with gold EP and fussy cut it out, that got rid of the red inky splodge!
The top panel I had in my stash and I used the Festive Foliage stencil to emboss a panel to put behind the opening. The Merry, instead of a die cut, was stamped, embossed with gold EP and fussy cut and the Christmas part stamped onto the embossed panel.
My fussy cut poinsettia was added to the aperture so that a few sepals were hanging over the edge and then the whole panel was added onto a base card with foam tape. I know the original card had layers of die cuts to give dimension but you can't do that with fussy cutting so easily, the foam pads have the same effect.
So that's all from me but please check out the rest of the team to see what they've been up to. Don't forget to leave some love along the way for a chance to win the entire release!!! The winner will be announced on November 11th 2024.
