Uniko October/November 2024 Release - Introducing...BIG & BOLD Joy

Good morning.

It's time for another new introduction from the upcoming release at Uniko.

And this time it's another great addition to the Big & Bold family of stamp sets...Big & Bold Joy.  Another great set, I think you'll agree.

The focal point on my first card is all heat embossed stamping...

On a panel of raspberry coloured cardstock I planned out where I wanted the various elements.  I started by stamping and heat embossing the dove in white.  Next I masked the dove and then stamped and heat embossed the word Joy in platinum.  I then stamped and embossed the foliage in green glitter and then finally the second part of the sentiment was heat embossed in red glitter.  And finally, before adhering the panel to my card base, I blended a darker shade of red ink around the edges to give it some depth.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Big & Bold Joy
• Ink: VersaMark; Distress Ink - Aged Mahogany
• Embossing Powder: Brutus Monroe - Alabaster; Wow! - Platinum; Heat It Up Embossing Tinsel - Green and Red

Next I combined the set with stamps from the Christmas Pop set...

On the card base I stamped the tree and star to create a backdrop which was to show through an aperture.  I die cut an aperture from a panel and I then heat embossed the Joy in gold on a strip of vellum which was fussy cut and then wrapped around the panel and adhered on the reverse before adhering the panel flat to the card base.  The rest of the greeting was heat embossed in white on a grey sentiment strip and adhered on 3D foam.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Big & Bold Joy, Christmas Pop
• Ink: Memento - Cottage Ivy; Versa Color - Gold; VersaMark
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Metallic Gold Rich; Brutus Monroe - Alabaster
• Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles
• Vellum from stash

We still have another introduction tomorrow before the big reveal on Sunday so be sure to pop back if you can, and visit the main Uniko blog, here.

I'll be back tomorrow with a couple more cards using another of the new products.
