Good morning
It's Release Day at Uniko so the new Natures Treasures II Designer Dies are now available to purchase from the shop, here. You can see the full product image at the end of my post, below.
The team have more projects for you today which you can find over on the Uniko blog post, and by following the links of each of the Brand Ambassadors you may find some extra inspiration too. And if you comment over on each of our blogs you'll be in with a chance of winning a gift certificate. All the details are over on the main blog post.
So, two more for you, here they are...
This leaf is my favourite from the set so I had to use it again on this card, and I stuck with the ombre theme too. On a scrap of cardstock I ink blended with Distress Oxides, fading it out, the die cut the leaf from it. I stamped the Background Blocks Halftone image on the card base as I figured the fading out dots was a great match for the ombre leaf, which I adhered over it. And I finished with a sentiment from the Simply Said Blocks II stamp set.
- Stamp: Uniko - Simply Said Blocks II, Background Blocks Halftone
- Dies: Uniko - Natures Treasures II
- Ink: Distress Oxide - Abandoned Coral, Saltwater Taffy; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
And for my final card I combined the die set with the co-ordinating stamp set, Natures Treasures II...
I die cut the leaves from some green cardstock and then stamped with the co-ordinating image in VersaMark and heat embossed in cooper. I die cut a white cardstock panel and heat embossed the sentiment from the Simply Said clear stamp set, before then adhering the leaves and trimming off the edges.
Materials used:
- Stamps: Uniko - Natures Treasures II, Simply Said
- Dies: Uniko - Natures Treasures II; Create a Smile - Double Stitched Rectangles
- Ink: VersaMark
- Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Copper

ReplyDeleteLove your cards Anita. Both so different.
ReplyDeleteGosh, What wonderful cards, beautiful ideas from this lovely die.
ReplyDeleteI love having a coordinating die for my stamps as I'm not very good with fussy cutting! How lovely that copper embossing look!
ReplyDeleteFantastic cards again Anita. Love the mix of ombré with the halftone background. Really like how die cutting the leaves as well as stamping them really makes them pop on your second card. X
ReplyDeleteLove your cards--especially the one with the ombre leaf! I've got to do that!
ReplyDeleteThese are both great examples of how to use the die set. I love those copper leaves!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card with the copper. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Love the background with the ombre pink die cut for your first card, and the second one is elegant with the embossed design!
ReplyDeleteStunning and very stylish cards - love how you have used the stamps and dies together, and thanks for the blog hop inspirations
