Two For Tuesday - Christmas Bauhaus

Hello & Happy Tuesday.

I've a couple of quick Christmas cards to share with you today using the Background Blocks Bauhaus. I came up with these couple of ideas when the stamp came back in stock at the end of November. I just needed 20 mins to make them!

Let's have a look...

I started with using the Background Blocks Bauhaus on the landscape orientation to create a one layer card. I used VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and for my Christmas Sentiments, sentiment. 

I chose Dark Poppy Parade and Dark Granny Apple Stampin' Blends to randomly colour the stamp to create a festive look. You can watch this card being made over on YouTube HERE.

I had so much fun making this simple card, I went on to make another. 

This time I went for a similar look to a previous card I have made using this stamp, which I shared HERE. 

I used the same colours and a different sentiment from Christmas Sentiments and switched things up with using the block landscape and also mounting the stamped layer onto my base card using foam tape.

That's all I have for today.

Celebrate With Background Blocks Bauhaus

Hello & Happy Tuesday. 

Today I have a quick card using the Background Blocks Bauhaus stamp which was released back in August. 

This stamp, like all the Background Blocks, is great for quick cards and adding fun patterns. 

I stamped the block twice across the top of my white card panel (9.5 x 13cm) in VersaFine Clair Morning Mist ink. 

I then used a trio of Stampin' Up! Markers in Pretty Peacock, Not Quite Navy and Grapefruit Grove to colour some of the semi circles. 

I finished by adhering the panel to a Concord & 9th Sorbet card base and added a fussy cut celebrate from Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments. Plus a trio of Midnight enamel dots.

A restock of this stamp, all of the July, August and the popular Mid Century Modern collection is due in the studio week beginning 22rd August, so not long to wait now. 

Plus I will have sorted the new USA shipping following the tariffs by then too.

Introducing... Background Blocks Bauhaus

Happy Wednesday.

Welcome to day 2 of the Uniko August 2025 Release product introductions. Today we have another product with a retro vibe. Although Bauhaus was a design style and movement of it's own, it does fit into the same period of time and work well with the Mid Century Modern style. 

So today we get to introduce you to Background Blocks Bauhaus. Perfect for an instant focal image, but this will work wonderfully with any of the Bauhaus inspired and Mid Century Modern products.

Let's see what the Brand Ambassadors have created.

How fun is this stamp? A so many beautiful makes from the Brand Ambassadors. I'm excited to use this stamp more and see more from the Brand Ambassadors over the coming days and weeks. It's always difficult to show a products full potential in one blog post!

See you tomorrow for day 3.
