Festive Friday Mid Century Modern Style Part 2 and 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways Day 8



Happy Festive Friday!

Today I am back with more festive Mid Century Modern Style Christmas cards and 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways Day 8.





Today I decided to ink up Mid Century Modern Baubles and share my quicker colouring tip. You can watch it HERE on my YouTube short. You know me, anything for a quick colour option! 




As you can see I went with some softer more pastel shades and it's funny as I seem to always reach for similar colours when using this stamp set. I must challenge myself to use some brights and traditional Christmas colours with these baubles! 




I've added a little dimension with adhering the upper bauble with foam tape and I also added a little bit of sparkle using a jelly pen.

Before I go, the giveaway. Be sure to leave a comment by 31st July 2025 for your chance to win this stamp set I've used on this card If you are the lucky winner picked randomly from comments left across Uniko’s social media and already own the products, an alternative will be offered. 

Winners will be announced first week of August 2025.

12 Days Of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways - Day 5 Rustic Wreath


Hello & Welcome to Day 5 of Uniko's 12 Days Of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways. 

Today is Thursday so I have a couple of throwbacks to share with you using todays clear stamp set, Rustic Wreath, along with a new card AND a bonus card in todays YouTube video HERE. 





This first card uses flowers from a now retired clear stamp set called Winter Vines Additions. But the look could easily be achieved with a similar small flower from Flower Power #1. The sentiment is from Simply Said Blocks Christmas.




This second card uses the smaller elements from the clear stamp set to create an all over pattern. It looks a bit like festive wrapping paper and I used a scalloped stitched edging die to add a bit of interest.

And here is what I have created especially for today.





For my card today I wanted the look of a hanging bauble or wreath. So I stamped the wreath once in Artichoke and turned it slightly and stamped again with Evergreen to make a full looking wreath. I then die cut using a circle die & punched a small hole for the twine.




I embellished with the pinecones & trio of berries from the set, but paired a little leaf from Autumn Serenade and a trio of enamel dots.




As you can see in this last photo I adhered the bauble to the card using foam tape for a smidge of dimension and added a little red ribbon bow to finish.

Do you hang a seasonal wreath on your door?

I normally do at Christmas, but I have yet to locate the one in the loft! In the past I made aa fresh one, but it's been a while since I had time to do that! 

Today's giveaway is the Rustic Wreath clear stamp set & I'll include a couple of other goodies as well. Thank you for all the lovely comments & support so far for this fun series. I hope you are enjoying it as much as I am.

           Hello & Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Inspiration & Giveaways - Day 10

Every Friday, I will have a new Christmas themed card or project to share with you, along with a video showing how I made it. Plus, if you watch the video you will find out what the giveaway is and how to enter for your chance to win 😊 All the videos are HERE on the Uniko YouTube Channel.

This week I am using Mid Century Modern Baubles and along with this card, I am also sharing another fun and creative way to use your stamps. You'll have to watch the video to see what it is!





I've gone for bold colours this week, red, white and navy blue with a touch of gold embossing. I talk about this set a little more and my ideas behind adding the elements it contains.


 




I share a few of my tips when embossing and of course tell you about the giveaway during the video HERE and how to enter! Only two weeks left, but you've still time to catch up on all the videos posted.

Still time to shop Uniko's Thankful for You SALE too and receive a surprise discount code with your order...



I decided to do #blackfriday a little different this year. Of course there is a SALE. 

BUT, I am also giving back to everyone who places an order between 21st - 27th November 2023*. Receive a surprise discount, from £5-£25 to use with your next order. 

* Code cards look like this (with a code on them obviously 😉) and they are tucked inside an envelope. So even I don’t know what I’m putting in your orders. It’s totally random as to who gets what discount. But you are guaranteed the minimum of at least £5.

Introducing... Christmas Sparkle & Winter Foliage

YAY!

Thanks for all the lovely comments yesterday, didn't the Design Team do an awesome job showcasing the new clear stamps? If you missed it you can catch up HERE.

I'm SO glad that you have decided to come back today ;) as we have the last two product introductions for Sept/Oct product  release. That means tomorrow is release day!

Anyway, lets have a look at Christmas Sparkle and Winter Foliage. Both these clear stamp sets are awesome on their own, but they can be used together beautifully AND they work with other previously released Uniko Christmas/Winter themed clear stamps ;)

I had this card design in my head ever since I was designing the Christmas Sparkle bauble, so I had to recreate it for todays introduction!




The bauble is a two step stamp, which allows for a multitude of possibilities, however I decided to stamp both in Encore Silver ink and heat emboss with Stardust EP for a WOW of sparkle! 




The fussy cut sparkly raised bauble is hanging from the bough of holly embellished with the layered poinsettia and sparkly ribbon from last years Christmas clear stamp set Jingle Bells. 

My next card focuses on Winter Foliage...




This clear stamp set features a large pine bough and pinecones, you might recognise the images as they are larger versions of the pinecones from the previously released Background Builders: Winter Vines clear stamp setand the pine bough is from the previously released Jingle Bells clear stamp set. 



The pinecone stamp is a two step stamp and the large sentiment is from All Occasion Sentiments #4. Apart from the fussy cutting of the pinecones, this was a really quick and easily mass produceable Christmas card ;)

Ok, that's all I have to share with you here, but hop along the Design Team Blog links below for even more inspiration. I know for a fact you won't be disappointed, the team have created amazing projects showcasing how this set can be used...
