Christmas In July 2025 - Introducing - Background Blocks My Favourite Colour

  

Happy Tinsel Tuesday!

Welcome to day 4 of the Uniko Christmas in July 2025 Release products introductions. If you've missed day 1, 2 and 3 you can catch up HERE, HERE and HERE.

Ok, so we might not actually be introducing anything tinsel, but it's actually not far off! Today we have another Background Block, Background Blocks My Favourite Colour.

I love Christmas lights and when I came across this sentiment I knew I had to do it Uniko style! You might recognise the font I have used that matches ones in the Mid Century Modern Collection too.

Let's have a look at this stamp in action.

So sparkly, twinkly and colourful, you could almost think it was Christmas! I'm smitten with this new Background Block and I hope you like it too. 

AND that's not all, I have a video introduction over on the Uniko YouTube channel HERE. 

All the products being introduced over the next few days will be available at 9am BST Thursday 31st July 2025.

CAS Colours & Sketches #301 - Seasonal Colours

Hello December!

The countdown to Christmas has begun and over at CAS Colours & Sketches the Design Team are getting into the festive spirit too. This week the challenge HERE is to choose a colour combo from 2018 and make it seasonal.

I chose to use the colours from challenge #264 seen HERE and below...

And here is how I made them festive...

I recently purchased the Tree Shaker die from Pretty Pink Posh and I couldn't wait to get using it! I decided to make a non shaker card and combine it with Background Builders Christmas 2018. I am just loving the Christmas fairy light trend and can't stop using this stamp either ;)

I stamped it on a white mat layer in VersaFine Onyx Black ink, used my Stampin' Up! markers in the colours I chose to colour the bulbs and then added some White Blizzard Glitter Nuvo Drops, another favourite! 

The tree is adhered to the card using foam adhesive and then the panel adhered to the card using foam adhesive too. 

This is my second to last Design Team post for CAS Colours & Sketches, as I took the decision to step down once we had finished the challenges for 2018 :( I am sad to be leaving, as it has been fun. But my time is needed in other areas of Uniko ;)

Anyway, there is more inspiration from the CC&S Design Team over HERE. Be sure to check out which colour combo they've all chosen to make seasonal :) I look forward to seeing you in the gallery and happy festive CAS card making!
