Uniko - Block Party Christmas ...

... Hi! We've shown you a peek of the October Uniko release, and now we start with our introductions. Today we're introducing Block Party Christmas. This is a large stamp measuring 3⅝" x 5⅛" and it's full of images and text. You'll recognise some of the images from other stamps sets. By this time of the year, I'm normally well into making my Christmas cards, but not so much this year. This stamp makes it so easy to mass produce Christmas cards:

Stamps: Uniko - Block Party Christmas, Most Wonderful, Festive Sentiments, Reach for the Stars
Inks: Versamark; Gina K - Black Onyx; Delicata - Silvery Shimmer, Golden Glitz; Stampin' Up! - Emerald Envy, Real Red
Accessories: White Lustre Card; SU Card - Emerald Envy, Real Red, So Saffron, Smoky Slate; Embossing Powder - Silver Tinsel, Gold Tinsel, Red Tinsel, Green Tinsel

I really like this stamp with all its lovely details. I let the image be the main focus and shine - quite literally! I used my MISTI to stamp the image in the centre of a 4½" x 6¼" in Versamark and then I used sparkly embossing powders. On the inside, I cut mat layers to match the colour of the embossing powders, and on the white panels I stamped a simple greeting and added some stars - also to match the colour of the powders.

As these cards are all one layer, I'm submitting them to Inkspirational - INK#145 where it's designer's choice and they've picked One Layer Cards.

You've seen what I've made with this stamp, now visit Uniko to see more inspiring projects from the rest of the team. They've all made such gorgeous cards! Before I go, here's a quick reminder of the release schedule:

That's all from me for now - do come back tomorrow to see more introduction cards from me and the team!
