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

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