AAA Colourful Colourboard #24

Good morning and Happy New Year from AAA Colourful!

How is your New Year going so far and did you have a good Christmas break? We spent Christmas with family in Northern Ireland, which is always tricky to organise since I don't have the 'magic' of Santa and have to get the presents over there without the children seeing! 

So here we go with the AAA Colourful Colourboard #24.



As I prep my January cards before Christmas I am usually still in the festive mood when designing my cards and they are my favourite cards to create anyway! I went a bit overboard with this month's challenge as you will see!


Since the 'JOY' is die cut from the three different shades of pink, I then used them on further cards. 




At least I got to add to the Christmas card stash! And now it is your turn to play along. Create your card and join in the fun over on the AAA Colourful blog.

Much love

Uniko Ink & Flip Inspiration Week

Happy New Year to you all! 

My first blog post of 2026 and we are over a week into the New Year already! Back at work and the festive period is a distant memory…as are the chocolates.

Here at Uniko we are having a week of fabulous inspiration using Bev’s clever Ink & Flip designs. Bev was kind enough to let us choose which Ink & Flip stencil we wanted to use and I chose Uniko Ink & Flip Christmas Tree Pattern stencil because I just love it! Christmas may be over but as I’ve depleted my Christmas card stash I wanted to start on some cards for this year. And I decided to mix up the colours for a bit of fun. 



All three cards were made from one panel of inked trees and I just played about with the layouts to make it work. 

Make sure you head over to the Uniko blog to check out the wonderful work by Natalie today and also the rest of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors from earlier in the week and over the next couple of days.

Much love
