Uniko Natures Treasure II Dies Reveal, Release and Giveaway Blog Hop

Morning all, 

I hope you have enjoyed the Introductions by the Uniko Brand Ambassadors this week. Today we are revealing the Natures Treasure II dies in full and showcasing some more ways to use them, with or without the Natures Treasure II stamp set. 

For my first card I used the dies with the co-ordinating stamp set and only partially cut the leaves by lining up the cardstock and dies 'sandwich' with the edge of the cutting plate. This removed the pressure from the 'sandwich' and didn't cut past the line I wanted to stop at.

I die cut the leaves first then stamped them in a darker ink (you could also use versamark ink for the same effect) as I thought it would be easier to line up the stamps in this instance than try to line up the dies. I then die cut the panel using a rectangular stitched edge die and heat embossed the sentiment from the Uniko Big & Bold You stamp set. I then adhered this to the card front using foam pads but you could also die cut the leaves straight from the card front instead which would look really good.  

For my next card I wanted to show how the dies work just as well without the stamp set.

I made a cascade of leaves down the left hand side of the card and added a simple sentiment from the Uniko Everyday Love stamp set for a quick and easy make. 

Don't forget to hop over to the Uniko blog and also join in with the Brand Ambassador blog hop. Leave some love along the way and you could be the winner of a lovely Uniko prize.
