It's only 14 days until Christmas!! Are you all ready for the big day? Are your cards done? Is your Christmas list for Santa ready to post? Are you still looking for things to put on there? (Are you on the naughty, or the nice list?) Have you still got gifts to buy? Well ..... I have a nice little treat for you ........ there's a BRAND NEW RELEASE from Uniko today.
We've got three fabulous new stamps sets ...... the stunning new Pure Florals Peony
How gorgeous is this and, there's a great collection of words on there too.
There's the new Wonderful Day .....
A cute little floral set, featuring outline and solid stamps to create pretty, modern floral designs, along with more fabulous sentiments
And last but not least ...... Snowflake Serenade.
Perfect if like me, you still have Christmas cards to make but, also great for other winter celebrations.
There's two new stencil designs too ....... In the Forest
and Let It Snow
All of the new stamps and stencils will be available to purchase on the Uniko website from 9pm (GMT) this evening. Which are your favourites?
As with all the Uniko new releases we're having our traditional Design Team New Release Day Blog Hop, hopefully giving you some inspiration using the brand new designs.
As I've said, I'm still making Christmas cards. Although there's not many names left on the list now, thank goodness.
Here's a quick and easy design using the new In the Forest stencil
I've created a simple winter scene, inking through part of the stencil with a green Distress Ink, and then added in a little bit of a landscape, using a simple mask cut from a piece of copier paper, placed in and around the trees, and then Distress Ink brushed along the edge
I added some glitter along the tops of the hills for a touch of sparkle, and used some chunky white embossing powder here and there to give a snowy look
A little detail added to one of the trees using some glitter glue ..... and a sentiment stamped across the bottom
The stencils are also great for doing those last minute gift tags ....... I need a whole load of those too!
White paste through the snowflake stencil and then sprinkled with glitter .... perfect!
A simple sentiment is all that's needed on the bottom
Add a little sparkle around the trees to highlight a tone on tone design .....
And again a simple sentiment ......
I love this new holly and snowflake flourish from Snowflake Serenade
I've stamped and heat embossed the image in gold, and then added a touch of colour to the holly leaves using a ZIG marker and a waterbrush.
A touch of gold shimmer and some red glitter glue berries .....
One of the sentiments stamped in silver ......
and a few extra snowflakes here and there ..... finishing everything off with a splattering of gold and silver ink.
If you're all Christmas'd out don't worry there's something for you in the new release. What about the gorgeous new Pure Florals Peony ..... this is going to be a favourite I think!
Here I've used the large bloom, just stamped in gold ink all over my white card. I could have heat embossed the flowers and added colour but, I think the gold on the white looks so elegant.
A touch of black in the centre from the sentiment
And a few sparkly sequins to finish off.
I do hope you love this new release as much as we do.
Don't forget it'll be available this evening 9pm (GMT) on the Uniko website. In the meantime why not hop on through the Blog Hop to see what the rest of the Design Team have been up to
Linda (that's me)
Happy hopping!
Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day.
I'm going to try and tidy my craft room I think ..... I can't actually see my desk at the moment and the floor well, the less said about that the better!!
Cheerio until next time .......
