Uniko - Background Builders Christmas Revisited

This month Uniko is revisiting Background Builders Christmas - very topical theme wouldn't you say?


This is such a versatile stamp set and can be used in so many different ways. Whether it's taking centre stage or a supporting role - must have pantos on my mind - it's a winner.

For my first card I created a swag by bending the holly strip on an acrylic block before stamping.


I then hung some trees from the November release Essentially Christmas and decorated them with bows and stars.


Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Background builders Christmas, Essentially Christmas
Inks: SU, crushed curry, real red, garden green 

My next card features three strung baubles stamped in a favourite Christmas colour combo.


I added a strip of very sparkly - in real life - card along the bottom and popped the baubles up on foam pads.


Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Background Builders Christmas, Balloon Bash, Labeled Christmas
Inks: SU, real red, marina mist, crumb cake
Die: Spellbinders standard circles small
Card: sparkle from my stash

My first two cards were definitely Christmas themed but my next card shows a different way that this stamp set can be used.



I repeated a pattern with the stamp set and added a silver foiled strip to frame the sentiment.


Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, Background Builders Christmas, Classic Numbers, All Occasion Sentiments #6
Inks: Memento, grape jelly, bahama blue, summer sky
Ranger Foil Tape Sheet

I know by now you're going to be putting this stamp set into your shopping basket, but just in case you need a little more convincing, follow the Uniko DT bloghop and be inspired.

    Jane - they are all just brilliant. I think the Christmas baubles are super, and I do like how you've filled in the little trees on the first card. Absolutely love the 2016 card too. Great work. xxx
