BA Inspiration at Uniko

 Good morning folks, it's my turn for a little bit of BA inspiration over at Uniko with a pair of Christmas makes.

All the details can be found on the Uniko blog.

This card I made after seeing the latest sketch at CAS Colours and Sketches.

As you can see, my card is portrait rather than the landscape format of the sketch.

To start, I used a circle die to emboss my panel, then cut a mask from a Post-It using the same die.

I then added the mask over the embossing and stamped the holly leaves and evergreen foliage. I stamped the holly berries and a couple of pine cones and used the dies to cut them out. The evergreen bough was coloured in with a couple of green pencil crayons as were the veins on the holly leaves for extra interest.

Removing the mask, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and embossed in gold EP before adding the berries and cones with glue.

Check out the Uniko blog for details of my other card.

 Afternoon crafters, I'm sharing a couple of cards I made for a BA post over at Uniko using the Winter Foliage stamp, die and stencil together with the Christmas Wishes stamp set.

I was inspired by the latest challenge at CAS Christmas Card Challenge where their cue word is PINE, hence the use of Winter Foliage!

Here are the two cards I created, full details are over on the Uniko blog.

Morning all. It's time for a brand new challenge at Uniko.

Here's my card based on the twist this time.

Its a very simple card, just a couple of stamped holly leaves and berries from the Winter Foliage stamp set and the matching dies. the leaves were stamped on green card and although the veins showed up to begin with they had faded by the time I took the photo! The berries were stamped with red on red and then some Glossy Accents added on top.

From a panel of red card, I cut a curve using an Avery Elle set and knocked back the colour with some Rusty Hinge and Barn Door DI around the edges, before adding it to a white, A6 note card. The thread is 1/3rd of a strand of twine as it was too thick originally. I made a rough bow and glued it to another die cut set of berries. The leaves were added and then sandwiched by the glossy accented berries and glued along the edge of the join after I'd stamped the greeting from Christmas Sentiments.

So where will the theme take you? We'd love to see you in our gallery. For more inspiration please check out the rest of the team and our GD here.
