Uniko Beautiful Blooms I & Dies Revisited Blog Hop & Giveaway

Good morning all, 

Who fancies a GIVEAWAY?! You do? Well read on… 

This year at Uniko we will be revisiting so older but still much loved Uniko products and doing a Brand Ambassador blog hop and giveaway as we go. The intention is to do this every other month.

This month we are revisiting Uniko Beautiful Blooms I stamp set and matching dies. These can be purchased as a bundle or as separate items. This is one of my favourite Uniko sets so I’m very pleased to be kicking off the year with it.

With my first card I wanted to create a bouquet of flowers so I used the smaller of the two blooms, stems and leaves and stamped each three times using various different colours or shades. For the bloom heads I inked the whole stamp in a lighter shade and the inner section in a darker tone. Once dry I die cut the elements and adhered them onto a piece of watercolour card which I had inked in one corner. Finally I stamped the sentiment in a bold black ink using Uniko Birthday Sentiments stamp set. It has such a lovely font it works well in the open space at the top of the card. 

Initially I was going to create a floating frame on my second card but then I remembered the last time I tried this and how it was quite tricky with the middle cut out so I opted to do the floating elements to one side instead. I wanted to ink the florals up in black as I knew they would still look superb. (I just love the style of this bloom!). I decided this would work well as a sympathy card so I took the sentiment from the Uniko Paw Print Hearts stamp set.

My final card uses only the smaller leaves from the set to show how you can make great cards using the smaller elements of a stamp set. Again I have used Uniko Birthday Sentiments stamp set for the fun sentiment.

Now as promised, here is the blog hop for you to leave lovely comments and you will be entered into a draw to win the Uniko Beautiful Blooms I stamp and dies (or an alternative prize to the same value if you already own this set):



Steph - that’s me!
