Uniko's Christmas *almost* in July release day!

Good morning friends and welcome back to my blog. Today is the day that you can purchase the new goodies from Uniko's Christmas *almost* in July release. I've had so much fun this week as brand ambassador and I do have one more card for you using the new release products. Before I show you my card I thought I would re-cap the new products that are now available.

And that wraps up the new Release. I hope you love the products as much as I do. But, as always, the Brand Ambassadors are here to tempt and inspire you a little bit more.

For my final card I used the Winter Garlands clear stamp to create a get well card.  I went with a horizontal A2 card for a change and I think it turned out great.  I hope you like it.

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping 3 of the garlands onto alcohol marker friendly card and coloured them with my Promarkers.  I didn't use my usual green combo and this time went with a more olive toned colour scheme.  I initially had a different idea in my head for this card so fussy cut all three garlands and also separated them into 3 smaller pieces.  My idea was initially to have a wreath style arrangement but didn't want to make a Christmas card as I wanted to showcase how this particular stamp is suitable for all year round.  I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and arranged the garlands coming in from the sides leaving a space in the centre for my sentiment.  In hindsight I could have just stamped them directly onto the card in this arrangement but hey-ho the fussy cutting wasn't too bad.  I added the garlands with liquid glue.  I stamped the get well message in the centre with black ink and also added black spatter.  I added some scrap white card behind the panel before adhering it to my card base with double sided tape.  For the inside I cut another white panel and as I had two pieces of the garland left over adhered them to the top left and bottom right corners with liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in the centre with black ink and also added some black spatters just in the corners.  The panel was added to my card base with double sided tape. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Uniko's Christmas *almost* in July release - day 4 introductions

Good morning friends and welcome back to my blog. It's day four and the final day of introductions for Uniko's Christmas *almost* in July release. Today's introduction is another clear stamp set called 'Winter Garlands' and it contains 3 different gorgeous garlands that will fit vertically or horizontally on your A2 panel. This is another set that can be used for both Christmas and all year through. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I went very clean and simple for today's card.  I cut a white panel of alcohol marker friendly card to 4' x 5 1/4" and stamped the holly garland vertically more towards the left side of the panel.  I used my Promarkers to colour the holly and berries and stamped the sentiment in black ink.  I adhered the panel onto my card base using double sided tape.  Literally about 4 steps to make this card and it would be perfect to mass produce.  For the inside I cut another white panel and stamped the garland horizontally at the bottom of the panel and again coloured it with my Promarkers.  I stamped a strip sentiment below the garland using black ink and then adhered the panel onto my card base using double sided tape.  I didn't think my card needed anything else as I loved the CAS design. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
