Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Ink & Flip Triangulate Stencil Floral card!

 Hello to all!

Happy Tuesday!

Today, I am featuring florals with geometric-shape patterns!

The 70s were known for their adventurous use of color and innovative patterns. And bold geometric shapes to earthy tones. Are you drawn to the vibrant, eye-catching colours and patterns, or do you prefer the more subdued, nature -inspired themes?

On a white square panel, I placed my Ink & Flip Triangulate stencil and blended the Fossilized amber DI. I created a pattern using the Mid-Century Modern Florals stamp set in candied apple DI in between the triangular shapes. And for the leaves, I used bundled sage DI. I finished it off with the Best Wishes sentiment from the Organic Blooms stamp set! 

Happy crafting!

June 2026 Reveal, Release Day with Brand Ambassador Hop & Giveaway!

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Finally, today is a release day at Uniko! This release is so versatile perfect for any occasions, masculine ones, birthdays, geometrical and so on.......!

It's time to feature all the June 2026 small release!

Card 1

Background Blocks Scramble Stamp set

Pretty Thank you so Much with Floral illustrations! 

A thoughtful image makes it personal. A gorgeous contemporary card to say Thank You to a special person! They're easy to share and feel more genuine, replying with a kind gesture to make someone smile.

On a teal grey card, I played with my ZIG Brush markers to color the Thank You script in rainbow colors. And then I stamped the Floral patterns in Lady bug and Cottage ivy Memento inks.

I combined it with the new Triangulate stencil pattern on the top and bottom of the card using Sea breeze Ink. and added a dotted line with my black pen. So easy- peasy!

Card 2

Ink & Flip Triangulate stencil

I love the geometric patterns partly because they can be used simply by changing the colors, sentiments and used for any occasion!

I created a quilted grid background for my card. I love geometrics and ink blending.

On a white card base, I put my stencil diagonal and added crackling campfire DI through it. I left one triangle in between the each row to create a quilting pattern for my focal point. I flipped my stencil and repeated the same DI ▶◀ to make this pattern.

To build another layer, I again rotated my stencil and created the quilted pattern using chipped sapphire DI and again flipped my stencil to complete a square with triangular shapes using the same ink. I die cut some stitched squares and placed in between the blank space for more dimension. 

I used For my Dad sentiment to bring everything together! The dad sentiment is from the Everyday family sentiments stamp set and for you is from the Spring Botanicals Crocus stamp set.

This variation in intensity is what gives the pattern the 3D look.

I absolutely love the end result. Don't you!!

Card 3

Warm and romantic florals with dotted confetti prints, the Layering Modern Blooms stencil set, designed with a mix of expressive blossoms.

 I combined it with lilac posies, dandelion, lady bug and grape jelly Memento inks with rustic wilderness Archival ink. A perfect pick for expressive designs with retro pattern play to any creative project. The sentiment is from the Flower Power #10 stamp set.

Card 4

Ink & Flip Chevron Duo stencil set

Interlocking X- like shapes repetition in a warm, inviting pattern of peanut brittle and rich cocoa memento inks. The design carries a retro, optimistic feel with "X" pattern and just for you anchoring its message. The piece embodies affection and simple joy, a graphic ode to enduring connection and cheerful aesthetics. I combined it with Just For You sentiment from the Organic Blooms stamp set.

As always me and all the Brand Ambassadors are inspire you a little bit more for a beautiful hop here at Uniko.

Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to Day 2, Introducing a dynamic interplay of Ink & Flip Triangulate stencil at Uniko. This bold geometric pattern creates an energetic visual pulse, evoking a sense of playful order and mid- century modern flair. It's a statement of contemporary design. 

 

I really wanted to achieve modern look from this Ink & Flip Triangulate stencil in the rainbow colors! 

First, I applied fossilized amber, candied apple, picked raspberry and shaded lilac DI through the stencil on a textured baby blue card .Then I flipped the stencil by overlapping the colored triangles and added unicorn dreams texture paste for some texture and dimension with transparency accents. 

The sentiment Shine Bright is from the Sparkle sentiments set. I first stamped it in shaded lilac DI and highlighted it with sparkly embossing powder. I added a dot holographic panel on the card base before lying my main panel.

A close up.......

A colorful card with no actual coloring for a Birthday guy! Bright, bold and ready to party 🎉🎈📦 

I stamped and embossed in white using the Background Blocks Birthday Scramble set. I blended the DI over white embossing and wiped off excess ink from the scrambled bold letters. Using a water-dipped brush, I lift up more ink for more color fun! Love the result!! I added a little water splatter and blot.

I stamped circle elements to create a boundary around the centre piece from the Background Builders: Round in Circle stamp set, and I dazzled it with some sequins!

Card 2

Next up is a new Layering Stencil, Retro Rainbow. This stencil is different from the previously released Stencil - Layering Retro Lines. I love this!!

I created a Retro Double Arch with a sunspot design! This layered Retro Rainbow stencil is absolutely so versatile and can be added to previously released.

I took a piece of Pastel Yellow textured CS. Started to create an arch using this beautiful stencil. I used Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, Abandoned Coral, Carved Pumpkin and Fossilized Amber DO inks to create the rainbow stripes. Then I created an artistic rainbow with a modern look using the Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set using the same inks. I doodled some designs using my white gel pen. And added a sundrop using circles from the Mid Century Modern Florals stamp set.

The sentiment is from the same set.

Card 3

With a little water on my water brush tip, I created the water wash look to the letters. Using the same ink choice, I stamped the outlined rainbow along with a cloud and falling Hearts. Stamped a heart above the letters and watercolored it.

Uniko Ink & Flip Inspiration Week

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Happy New Year, everyone! I am back now with my first post for Uniko.

I moved into our new home on the last day of the past year. Hence, everything was so quiet last month. The majority of my craft supplies are in packed boxes. As it is not easy to unpack all the boxes to set up in my new room, as there is no space for the craft room. So, it will take some time to set up my room and keep me busy, away from the hustle and bustle.

So here I created a sweet card for the Ink & Flip Stencils Inspiration with Bev at Uniko! Bev is offering 20% off the Ink & Flip Stencils. 

Today is my turn to join this inspirational week. And there will be more new releases at the end of the month. 

 

I love the minimal look of this single-layer card in soft colors!

I used Speckled Egg, Rustic Wilderness, Evergreen Bough, Paradise Teal, and Prize Ribbon Archival inks for the minimal look using Ink & Flip Mid Century Leaves stencil today.

The flowers were inked using the Layering Flower Fusion stencil set, and the sentiment is also from the same stamp set.

Now head over to the Uniko blog to see what Bev has created today!

Thanks for visiting today!

Happy crafting!

Delicate butterflies in Swiss dots!

 Hello to all!

Happy Friday!

Today, I am on the Uniko Blog with an inspiration card using the latest release product!

I wanted to create a card with a vintage, old-style look using a Swiss dots stamp.

To start the card, I stamped the tiny Swiss dots on a grey CS panel using chipped sapphire DI.  I layered my butterflies from the English Country Garden Butterflies die set and stamped them in Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink using the Swiss Dots stamp. The sentiment is from the same set.

I layered my panel on a pink panel, and before adhering it to my blue card base, I tied my panel with a pink ribbon. Then finished off the card with a few rhinestones.

I'm thrilled with the way it turned out!

I hope you enjoyed the card I shared with you today. I love what I do, working on designs, new ideas and much more!

Happy crafting!

Day 5: Introducing Flower Power 12

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

Today is the last day of the Introduction of a new release at Uniko: Flower Power 12 stamp set!

I love this new set, having outlined and solid images with leaf patterns. The font of the sentiments is amazing, too!

To create my card, I began by stamping the solid image flowers in red pigment ink. Then I stamped the leaves in hickory smoke ink. I colored the leaves using a grey brush marker. The sentiment is from the same set. I placed silver glitter strips to enhance the beauty of this card and added a few silver pearls.

Day 4: Introducing Background Blocks My Favorite Color

Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

Introduction Day 4: Background Blocks my Favorite Color, a new release at Uniko! This time, Bev did an awesome job designing new products, agreed!

I thought it would be fun to make a Christmas card in non-traditional colours.

On a pink die-cut panel, I stamped the light string part only and covered the sentiment part with masking tape. I heat-embossed the lights using Wow White Puff Twinkle Glitter EP.

I used my Zig brush marker pens to fill the colours in the lights. Then I stamped the bold sentiment in dual shades of pink, as shown in the above pictures. It really stands out!

 Hello crafty friends!

Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to the Uniko Blog's April Release Introduction Day 2. Today, I am featuring a Layering Flower Fusion Stencil—four sets in total. Let's see the details.

I placed another leaf image set over my inked panel using Mawed Lawn DI.

Then I placed the smaller floral image stencil using mustard seed, saltwater taffy and seedless preserve DI.

At the end, I placed the dotted stencil from the set over my inked florals to create the centre of the flowers using Jet Black archival ink. What a beautiful layering flower fusion created in minutes!

The sentiment is from the Sunshine & Rainbow stamp set. I die-cut the panel using a scalloped square die and mounted it on my black card base with dimensionals.

I started by stamping the Background Blocks Grid on a white CS. I watercolored a few of the grid blocks.

I inked up the big butterfly using the English Country Garden Butterflies stamp &die set and watercolored it with my ZIG markers.

The leaf flourishes are die-cut from some green scraps using the Nature's Treasure II stamp and die set.  I created a clear window using an acetate sheet and added that sweet butterfly and green foliage.

Snow

Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

 Are you ready for a beautiful winter card with snowflakes............ Snow love is here, my Uniko Brand Ambassador inspiration!

  I stamped my snowflakes from the framed snowflakes stamp set on a white card panel using the Unchanted Mariner DI. Then I ink-blended my background using picked raspberry and lumber plaid DI.

Once again I heat embossed in opaque bright white EP for more snowflake elements from the same set and added some splatters using silver perfect pearl. I love the wholesome look!

I used the bold snow die with outline coverage in a white scrap piece, which was left after blending the background with a glitter silver CS. To finish it off, I added the Let It sentiment.

I hope you enjoyed this card!

Happy crafting!
