12 Days Of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways - Day 7 Background Blocks With Festive Twists

 Hello & Happy Weekend.

With the announcement of yesterday's Fabulous Festive Offers, it got me inspired and changed the whole plan for todays post! 

If you missed the offers, keep reading I will give a recap at the end of todays post. So, a while back I did a Background Blocks 3 Ways, I thought I would do that again, but add a festive twist to them. Let's have a look...





For my first card I chose Background Blocks Layered Stripes. I think this block pattern works wonderfully to look like wrapped gifts under the Christmas tree. That what the look I was going for with this card. 

I used my stamping platform to stamp the block on the angle in Poppy and Cranberry inks, I finished with a sentiment from Christmas Sentiments and added a festive bow from Mid Century Modern Baubles.




Next I decided to use a recent restock, Background Blocks Pinstripe. Again I was going for a fun festive look, but this time decided to overlap the pattern. I used cranberry and Evergreen to stamp the block. 




I chose a different sentiment from Christmas Sentiments to adorn this card and stamped the same bow in Poppy.




For my third card today be sure to watch todays video over on Uniko's YouTube Channel HERE. I've used a different Background Block and added a fun festive twist. 

The giveaway today is 3 Background Blocks (in stock) of the winners choosing. My question today is, which is your favourite Uniko Background Block. 

Now for some Fabulous Festive Offer Reminder...

Firstly, FREE Worldwide Shipping minimum spend has reduced to just £30 to qualify for free shipping. This is normally £75 for those outside the UK and £60 in the UK.

This is perfect for my lovely customers in the EU and Northern Ireland.

  1. Lovely cards, my favourite is the second one with the pinstripes. It's hard to choose my favourite background block, but I think the Solid Wonky Stripes is at the top of my list.
