Uniko October/November 2024 Release - Introducing...Background Blocks Snow Flurry

Hi there

Ok, so, the last two days we've been welcoming back two re-introductions at Uniko.  Today we have the first of the new introductions and it's another addition to the fabulous Background Blocks series...Snow Flurry.

In this festive design, Bev has once again used her much loved snowflake designs and I just love how this stamp is in reverse, so the emphasis is on stamping the background.

I have two very different cards for you today, here's the first, and I've combined it with stamps from the Big & Bold Snow stamp set...

I began by stamping the snow flurry stamp on the card base multiple times with three shades of ink until I achieved a nice blend of colours.  I then stamped the Snow sentiment and heat embossed it in white on vellum and die cut it with the co-ordinating die.  I adhered the vellum on tiny 3D foam pads behind just the white parts and then finished by adding the white embossed sentiment strip.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Background Blocks Snow Flurry, Big & Bold Snow
• Ink: Altenew - Winter Lake, Wisteria, Pink Diamond; VersaMark
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
• Die: Altenew - Featured Sentiments
• Vellum from stash

And now my second card...

On a piece of white cardstock I randomly blended ink in pink, aqua and lime shades.  I then stamped the Snow Flurry stamp over the top in a very dark navy ink which then let the snowflakes show through in the bright colours.  I die cut three rounded squares and adhered these to the card base.  The sentiment strip, embossed in white on black and mounted on a pink frame, was then adhered on 3D foam.  This sentiment is from a set we are introducing later in the week.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Background Blocks Snow Flurry
• Ink: Altenew - Pinkalicious, Aqualicious, Bamboo, Dark Night; VersaMark
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White
• Die: MFT Die-namics - Stitched Rounded Rectangles

Take a look at the Uniko blog, here, for more inspiration from the rest of the team.  It's amazing what different projects have been created using the same background stamp.

All the new products will be available from Sunday 3 November 2024.

I hope you'll pop back tomorrow where myself and the team will be introducing another new stamp set.
