12 Days Of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways Day 3 - Background Blocks Snow Flurry ❄️



 Hello & Happy Tuesday.

The countdown to Christmas is on and here at Uniko we kicked things off on the 1st with a Christmas Linky Party, be sure to check it out HERE

Yesterday we were full of Christmas Joy 🤩 so be sure to check out my blog post and video HERE and HERE

Today I am dreaming of a white Christmas and have some fun inspiration using Background Blocks Snow Flurry clear stamp that was released last month. 





For my first card I was inspired by a layout by Kristina Werner I saw HERE on Pinterest. I loved the idea of adding Bakers Twine around the edge of the block with simple paper piercing. 




I added a simple matching Bakers Twine bow adhered using Nuvo Drops and I added a fun sequin. My sentiment is from Christmas Sentiments stamped in Oceanside and I used scissors to create my own banner. A few tiny sparkly rhinestones finished my card.

My second card here today was created from a stamped piece I would normally discard in the bin! But I looked at it and thought I could create a fun shaker card with it.




I used a polaroid die I have in my stash, I'm unsure of which brand it is. Plus a selection of various sequins for the shaker element. The die cut snowflake is from Waffle Flower Small Snowflake  Die and I used the beautiful C9 Rainbow Glitter Paper which is so sparkly. My sentiment is from Christmas Sentiments.





Just like other years I have a daily video over on the Uniko YouTube Channel and you can watch today's bonus card using this clear stamp set HERE. Watch and comment over there for another entry into the giveaway 😃

Today I would love to know how you wrap your Christmas gifts. Do you go with a theme? Do you choose depending on who you're wrapping for or do you just go with whatever wrapping paper takes your eye in the shops? 

I'd LOVE to know.

The giveaway prize today is snow much fun, a snow ❄️ themed Uniko goodie pack which includes a stencil, 2 clear stamp sets and a set of Uniko Designer Dies.

  1. I absolutely love that second card, Bev.
    We don't exchange gifts at Christmas, so I don't have to ever worry about wrapping paper. I have also noticed that people here in Greece tend to use bags rather than wrapping paper for their gifts.

  2. Both cards are so pretty! I love the way you added the twine to frame the stamped snowflakes, and the shaker card is so fun! Love them both!
    I have an assortment of wrapping paper, and I just pick a few designs to use each year. I haven't had to buy new paper for quite a long time..... some of the rolls I have are really big!

  3. Fabulous cards and I love the colour you've used. I wrap presents in brown recycled paper, with minimum tape on the outside so the paper can be reused.

  4. Gorgeous cards, Bev! I'm terrible at gift wrapping, but when I do, I go with kraft paper and red bows. I love that combination!
