Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Christmas In July!

Hello again friends, I'm here with another card to inspire you and celebrate Christmas in July with Uniko!  Today I'm using the Background Blocks: Scandinavian Christmas stamp along with a sentiment from Pure Florals: Poinsettia stamp.   

For my card I gold heat embossed the background blocks stamp onto a dark rich green card and added 4 layers of the gold frame for some dimension.  I stamped and gold heat embossed the sentiment onto the green card and used a die to cut it out.  I added it with foam squares to the bottom left corner and finished off with some gold pearls.  A fairly simple card but it looks so beautiful and shiny in real life.  

Bev along with my fellow Brand Ambassadors will be sharing Christmas in July inspiration all throughout the month and there will be a giveaway PLUS a new release - how exciting! 

 

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to check back for more inspiration.  

Love and hugs, 

Win it Wednesday - Christmas Scramble

Happy Wednesday.

Gosh, how did we get to Wednesday already? First week of the school summer holidays and I already feel like I am chasing my tail keeping up with everything! Hence why I am a little late with today's card and Win it Wednesday.

I managed to squeeze in 10 minutes to make this card...

I'm always inspired when restocks arrive and I couldn't resist inking up Background Blocks Christmas Scramble for this quick and easy, plus fairly mass produceable Christmas card.

I started by stamping the block in VersaMark and heat embossing with Polished Gold EP. I then highlighted the letters with a Dark Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blend to make them stand out against the red card stock. To finish I adhered the panel to a white card base.

As it is Win It Wednesday I am giving away this clear stamp.

Simply comment on this post here or across Uniko's social media by the 31st July 2026 for your chance to win. Winners announced in August and an alternative prize to the same value will be offered ONLY if you already own this stamp.

Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Christmas Ornaments!

  Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Vinta here and back with another inspiration card on Christmas theme for Uniko! 

I combined Layering Bauhaus blocks stencil set with Mid Century Modern Baubles stamp set to make my ornaments.

To make my Christmas Ornaments, I used the Altenew inks: evergreen, caribbean sky, midnight violet, red royal and fresh peach. hickory smoke archival ink. The flower is from the Flower Power #12 stamp set.

The sentiment is from the Most wonderful stamp set and created snowy dots using my white gel pen.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

Christmas in July!

It’s that time of year again, Christmas in July!

 

If you’re anything like me it’s always a rush to get those cards finished up in time for Christmas, so I love to get a head start in July.

I went for non traditional colours for my card this time, I love how bright and colourful it turned out. It was so quick and easy to make too so great for production lines and mass producing. 

I started out by stamping the wreath in the middle using the mid century modern wreath building stamp set. I started with the black lines and added a light green ink next with the block stamp. I then moved it around a little to heat emboss some gold over the top. 

I made the berries and wreath and off centre stamped the colours to the outline. Fussy cutting everything out and added foam tape to add to my card base. Then finished off with the sentiment and mounted it on some hot pink cardstock to match the pink bow and that was my card finished up! 

I love how it turned out and it would be so easy to make a set in different colours. It’s a fun stamp set that can be used to make modern and more traditional cards and definitely going to be a staple in my stash.

Win it Wednesday - Come On England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Happy Wednesday.

It's still kind of Christmas in July here at Uniko, with a twist. I used the Stencil - Ink & Flip Christmas Star to create a good luck card for the England team tonight ⚽️

I simply used white pigment ink through the stencil and made it a little more solid by heart embossing with white embossing powder. My sentiment choice is from Everyday Spring Sentiments as I didn't have a Come On England one! 

Maybe that will change if they win the world cup.

As it is Win It Wednesday I am giving away this stencil, plus a secret add on that's coming at the end of July.

Good Luck Lads & Come On ENGLAND!

Christmas Tree Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday.

Today I decided to dust off the Stencil - Ink & Flip Christmas Tree Pattern for this clean & simple Christmas card.

I started by cutting two white card mat layers, 9.5 x 13cm and on one I inked the stencil with my new favourite colour combination, Basil and Berry Kiss. I then trimmed the panel into a triangle and adhered it to the other mat layer.

To finish I added a Berry Kiss die cut bow and a sentiment from Christmas sentiments before adhering to my white card base. Though there were a few steps to this, I think this would be pretty easy to mass produce.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Christmas in July Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Deck The Halls

Bonjour !

Izzy here and I'm back with a new inspiration card for celebrating Christmas in July with Uniko !

For this new inspiration I chose to combine an old set, Rustic Wreath (soon back in stock), with a stencil of the last release Ink & Flip Chevron Duo.

On a double white card, I simply stamped the different elements of the set Rustic Wreath to make the wreath. Then I separated the card with a line of gold heat embossing in order to make the stencilling.

I used the Ink & Flip Chevron Duo with red Distress oxide ink because the pattern reminded me of candy canes. But in the end, I think it looks more like floorboards ! 😄

To finish my card, I simply chose the sentiment from the set that went perfectly with this scene.

Well, that's all from me today. Thanks for joining me and hopefully I've given you some inspiration. And remember, if you like the products of my two inspiration posts, they will be very soon back in stock.

Have a lovely day and thank you for stopping by.
