Uniko May/June 2023 Release - Introducing...Bauhaus Blocks Clear Stamps

Good morning

Back today with the second introduction from the latest release coming up from Uniko.

This is the first of two products inspired by Bauhaus art...Baushaus Blocks Clear Stamp Set.  This set features five block designs and four sentiments, in a font representative of the Bauhaus period.  I love it!

Here's my first card, and I tried to replicate the common colours used from the era...

On a die cut panel I stamped three of the blocks in a row using Copic-friendly black ink.  I coloured sections using my Copics and finished with the sentiment stamped in black. 

Materials used:

• Stamp: Uniko - Bauhaus Blocks
• Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles
• Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Coloured with Copics

And for my second card I combined the new set with the Background Block Pinstripe clear stamp...

Here I stamped the block first on some neutral cardstock in a pale ink before colouring the sections with Copics.  Then, with the stamp still in my Misti, I restamped in VersaMark ink and heat embossed the design in white.  This was then die cut with a pierced square die.  On the card base I stamped the pinstripes and the sentiment below.  The die cut square was then popped up on 3D foam

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Bauhaus Blocks, Background Blocks Pinstripe
• Ink: Distress Ink - Antique Linen; VersaMark; Altenew - Moon Rock; Distress Oxide - Iced Spruce
• Embossing Powder: Brutus Monroe - Alabaster
• Coloured with Copics
• Die: MFT Dienamics - Pierced Square Stax

And for my final card I used the remaining block from the set, and kept it super simple...

It doesn't get much simpler than this. I stamped the block onto a die cut panel using Copic-friendly ink, coloured with Copics and then stamped the sentiment below.  I picked out the yellow shade from the colouring and used this as my card base.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko Bauhaus Blocks
• Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Coloured with Copics
• Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Scalloped Rectangles

For more projects using this new stamp set by the talented Bev and my fellow Brand Ambassadors, please do pop over to the main Uniko blog, here.

The new products will be available to purchase from the Uniko website from 2 June at 9.00am BST.

I'll be back with more inspiration tomorrow, using the final product from this latest release.  Hope to see you then.

Uniko May/June 2023 Release - Introducing...Stencil Flower Power #4

Good morning

I'm here today to introduce the first product from the latest release coming up from Uniko.

I think you'll love this one as it's a new addition to the Flower Power series....a stencil, Flower Power #4 to co-ordinate with the existing stamp set.

Here's my first card, and I went super CAS with this one...

I just love how fluid this design is so I wanted to keep this one super simple.  Just the stencil inked up using two ink shades, off the edge of the card base.  I added a sentiment, which is from a new stamp set we'll be introducing tomorrow, and stamped this in a soft grey ink to echo the soft shades of the flower.  A few smooth silver gems finished the card. 

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Flower Power #4
• Stamp: Uniko - Bauhaus Blocks
• Ink: Distress Oxide - Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers; Altenew - Silver Lake
• Gems from stash

And for my second card I combined the stencil with the Flower Power #4 stamp set...

Here I ink blended the top area of the card in a light purple before adding the stencil and ink blending in two further shades.  I then stamped the flowers from the Flower Power #4 stamp set in purple ink before colouring in with Copics.  I added the decorative elements from the stamp set in blue ink and finished with some black gemstones and a sentiment from the new Bauhaus Blocks set which will be introduced tomorrow, on a dimensional die cut strip.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Flower Power #4
• Stamps: Uniko - Flower Power #4, Bauhaus Blocks
• Ink: Distress Oxide - Shaded Lilac, Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch; Memento - Grape Jelly, Paris Dusk
• Coloured with Copics
• Die: MFT Dienamics - Stitched Rectangle Stax

For more projects by the talented Bev and my fellow Brand Ambassadors, please do pop over to the main Uniko blog, here, to see this new stencil in action

The new products will be available to purchase from the Uniko website from 2 June at 9.00am BST.

I'll be back with more inspiration using more of the new products tomorrow.
