Festive Friday - Bright Snowflakes

Happy FriYAY!

Today I have a FLIPPIN' awesome Festive Friday card to share with you. It's an idea I've had floating round my head for a while, so it felt good to finally see it in real life.

I chose the Stencil - Ink & Flip Snowflake Pattern from the Christmas in July Release as I felt I had neglected it a little compare to the Stencil - Ink & Flip Christmas Tree Pattern. 

I chose two of my favourite brighter colours, Honeysuckle and Oceanside, but in hindsight could have gone even brighter. 

I love the frosted feel vellum gives to a card and added a panel over the top. Another reason why I chose bright colours as I knew the vellum would mute the colours a little. 

I adhered a Simply Said Blocks Christmas sentiment to the vellum using foam tape and adhered the panel to my stencilled card using glue behind the sentiment strip to hide the adhesive. I finished with a trio of Sunflower enamel dots. 

You can watch me make this card if you're unsure of how the Ink & Flip Snowflake Pattern works or you need a little reminder. I have a YouTube Short HERE. 

I'd love to know the colour combo you would use for this stencil.

Snowflake Serenade - 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways Day 12

 

Happy Thursday.

Welcome to the final day, day 12 of the 12 Days of Christmas Giveaways. I hope you have enjoyed the inspiration and there is still time to comment across social media to be in the chance to win. 

When I was thinking about what to use for my post and product today, I realised I haven't used any snowflakes. And for me Christmas involves snowflakes. So it was time to dust off Snowflake Serenade and give it some fresh inky love.

Here's what I came up with.

I fancied ombre blues today, selecting Powder, Harbor, Blueberry and Midnight. I then ink blended them onto a piece of white card. 

I then placed this into my stamping platform and positioned the snowflake serenade, sentiment and a trio of accent snowflakes before inking with Encore Silver ink and heat embossed with Stardust EP.

A pretty simple, pretty quick, super sparkly snowflake card to add to the Christmas card stash. If you fancy watching me make this card, I have a YouTube short HERE. 

Before I go, the giveaway. Be sure to leave a comment by 31st July 2025 for your chance to win the Snowflake Serenade 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.
