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.

Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Thursday Tags

Bonjour !

Izzy here. I hope you have enjoyed the last release because today I'm taking this opportunity to show you some more inspirations with it. 

As Christmas is very close, I decided to make, not cards, but tags for gifts. 


The two first tags are made with the Framed - Fairy Lights clear stamp set.

 
I simply die cut a tag in a white card stock, I stamped and I black heat embossed part of the Fairy Lights on as well as a sentiment, then I coloured all the lights with coloured fine liners and I added a red ribbon.


For this one I combined the Fairy Lights with the Jolly Christmas set. 
I stamped and I white heat embossed the lights on a black tag and I coloured them with coloured glitters as I've already done it when introducing this set.
On a piece of white card stock I stamped Santa and I coloured it with coloured pencils.
To finish, I put some glitter on Santa too and I foam mounted it on the tag.


The second set of tags is made with the Background Blocks - Snow Flurry and the Christmas Pop clear stamp sets.


For this tag I used both sets together. I die cut a tag in a Kraft sheet thenI stamped and I white heat embossed the Background Blocks - Snow Flurry on top. 
On Kraft paper, I stamped in black the trees from the Christmas Pop set and I fussy cut them.
I stamped the sentiment (Background Builders - Winter Wonderland) on a black strip and I white heat embossed it.
To finish, I flat adhered the sentiment and the trees on the tag.


Here I combined one of the trees together with the Quilted stencil. I die cut a tag in a Kraft sheet then I used the stencil with white ink.
I stamped and I white heat embossed the tree on a piece of red card stock and I fussy cut it.
To finish, I foam mounted the tree on the tag and I added a red and white thread.


For the last tag I stamped the Background Blocks - Snow Flurry with a ombré blue ink. 
In a glitter white paper, I cut the gorgeous Sparkling Snowflake, and I flat adhered it on the tag.


For the third set of tags, I used the beautiful Pure Florals - Poinsettia. As far as I remember, it is one of the first stamp I ordered at Uniko and I still love it so much !


Here I combined the poinsettia with the Background Blocks - Falling Snowflakes. I stamped it and I white heat embossed it on a piece of Vellum then I used a tag die to cut it. I also cut the same tag in a white card stock to put it behind.
On a Bristol paper, I stamped and I black heat embossed the poinsettia. I used pink Zig Clean Color Real brushes to colour it. 
As the real poinsettia is a large stamp, I cut the center of the flower and I arranged some petals around so that it fits the tag.
On a black strip of card stock, I stamped and I white heat embossed a sentiment.
To finish, I glued the sentiment and the poinsettia on the Vellum tag.


Here I combined the poinsettia with the Background Blocks - Layered Stripes that I stamped on a white tag with Lightening Black ink. 
I stamped the poinsettia on a white card stock, I coloured it in red with coloured pencils and as for the previous tag, I cut the center of the flower and I added some petals that I coloured in green.

And last but not least, I made a tag with the new stamp of the Big & Bold collection.


As the name suggests, Big & Bold - Joy, I wanted a cheerful tag with lots of colours.
So I used here the Wonky Stripes stencil with lots of coloured inks to make the background.
Once dry, I stamped in black the word Joy and two little images from this set and I heat embossed them with glittery embossing powder.

Et voilà ! As you can see, there's a lot to do with the last new release but also with the Uniko products you already have. 
Thanks for joining me today and hopefully I've given you some inspiration to prepare your Christmas all in beauty !

Have a lovely day and thank you for stopping by.

It's Beginning To Look Like... Introducing Background Blocks Snow Flurry

Happy Thursday.

I hope you are enjoying the festivities so far this week here on the blog and social media? I am having a blast and I am so inspired by all the makes our Guest Natalia and The Uniko Brand Ambassadors have made.

So far this week we have reintroduced Christmas Pop and Pure Florals Poinsettia. Today we have the first brand new clear stamp to introduce, Background Blocks Snow Flurry.

Those who have been around these parts for some time, know I love a snowflake! I also hold each Uniko snowflake design dear and I just had to put some favourites into this fun background block design.

Let's have a look at what Natalia our guest and the Brand Ambassadors have created using this new clear stamp.






















So much beautiful snowflake goodness right there, I have a feeling this stamp is going to be a 'go to' this year to pair with so many other Uniko products. I hope you love it as much as I do and that you will join us tomorrow for another introduction.
