Mid Century Modern Baubles & Introducing MCM Baubles Stencil & Mask Inspiration Week - Release Day Blog Hop & Giveaway

 Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

As I mentioned yesterday, the new MCM Bauble stencil hasn't arrived with me, so I am sharing two cards using the MCM Baubles stamp set. I love all the small elements in this set, and my inner creative artist is showcasing how you can use them easily on the cards.


Card 1


I created a modern and stylish card!




I created a simple  Pattern Christmas Tree card using one of the small elements from the MCM Baubles stamp set. 
I started stamping from the top centre of the card in a shade of green using cracked pistachio, mowed lawn, lucky clover and pine needles DI, left some space for the sentiment in between, and then stamped once again to create my patterned Christmas Tree.  I then stamped the Merry Christmas sentiment in the centre with a piece of golden pearl lace.
I added a star to the top of the tree and embellished it, adding a few red rhinestones in the flower centre. And drew a line for the tree.



Card 2




For this card, I added some elements to create my Christmas wreaths. It was always so much fun adding small elements from the set. I used the twisted citron and mowed lawn, lumberjack plaid DI. The sentiment is from the same set and embellished with a few rhinestones in the centre of the bows.


Be sure to leave a comment along the hop for your chance to win a £20 eGift code to spend in the store.
New arrivals are available here.

Mid Century Modern Baubles & Introducing MCM Baubles Stencil & Mask Inspiration Week - Day 5

Hello everyone!

 Happy Friday!

Welcome to Day 5 of the Mid Century Modern Baubles & Introducing MCM Baubles Stencil & Mask Inspiration this week. All Uniko Brand Ambassadors are revisiting the most beautiful Mid Century Modern Baubles stamp set with a new product, the same matching stencil!

Unfortunately, my new stencil hasn't arrived, so I am showcasing the previously released MCM Baubles stamp set.




I stamped all the baubles on a white CS. I watercolored them with my ZIG watercolor brushes. And stamped a few small elements to decorate them using fossilised amber, chipped sapphire DI and fussy cut them all. On a navy blue CS, I added all the baubles by adding the Season's Greetings sentiment. I added some false-stitched lines to create a border and embellished it with rhinestones.


I hope you enjoyed this bright and beautiful creation.
Tomorrow is our Traditional Blog Hop day with a new stencil release. I hope you will enjoy seeing new projects! Mine will be using the same stamp set, and I will surprise you!!!

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!

September 2025 Non Release Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

It's time to revisit the previous releases of Uniko products! I love this year's release so much. Bev cleverly designed all the products! So, Bev set a challenge for the Uniko Design Team to revisit any product from this year's releases with a giveaway!

For my card, I combined  the Swiss Dots background stamp with the Spring Botanicals Primrose stamp and here is my card:




You will agree that the Swiss dots background stamp is a great addition to Uniko products, and using it with other floral stamps changes the style with a dainty look!
On a scalloped die-cut white card base, I stamped the swiss dots at the bottom part only.
On another white CS piece, I stamped the primroses using my ZIG water brush pens and watercolored them, fussy cut the bunch from the bottom part only. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.
I adhered that panel to my card base using adhesive doublefoam tape.

A lot more inspirations at the Uniko blog by Uniko Ambassadors here!

Card 1




For my first card, I used Ink & Flip Mid Century Leaves Stencil. I used Altenew Inks: Jet black, sea glass, ocean waves, pale tomato, raspberry, hunter green, warm sunshine, caramel toffee inks. I combined it with oval shaped circle element from the Background Builders MCM set. The sentiment is from the Origanally Organic Flower Garden stamp set. And embellished it with a few rhinestones.


Card 2




I called this rainbow oxides of flutters by! Oxide inks worked well on dark surface paper. I hope you all like it!



I started by stamping a semicircle element and then drew the line in between the two using a white Posco pen. Then I stamped the wings using silver metallic pigment ink.

I used distress oxide inks kitsch flamingo, picked raspberry, fossilised amber, carved pumpkin, speckled egg and rustic wilderness. I gave the shadow the impact of a darker colour. Then I used silver metallic ink to highlight the wings. It's hard to catch the transparent impact and silver metallic shine, so take a close-up look above.

The sentiment and tiny flowers are from the Butterfly Serenade stamp set.


 Card 3





This Background Blocks Bauhaus is my favourite from this release. I created a rainbow color theme card using my fine liner brush markers in different colors. I masked some of the parts of the stamp set for the sentiment inside it, the sentiment is from the Sunshine and rainbows stamp set, and I drew a rectangle box inside with my black pen.



Card 4





The MOD Circle Builder stamp set has many possibilities, too. On a white die-cut stitched panel, I stamped the image using Carved Pumpkin DO ink, which looks so beautiful as it is.






Then I watercolored the circles using the same DO ink. Then highlighted some of the parts with a glitter pen. The sentiment is from the Sparkle Sentiments set.



Card 5





I started with Background Builder Blocks Splatter Stamp on a white die cut panel in Monochrome style using salty ocean, mermaid lagoon, uncharted mariner and chipped sapphire DI. Then I stamped the Polka dots using the same inks. The sentiment is from the Just Because stamp set. This card is perfect for Masculine ones too!


Card 6





For this, I wanted to create something different. I created a sunset scene with greenery and the shadow of the flower branch. I think this idea worked well using the Layering Bauhaus Retro 
stripes stencil!
I started with one of the stripes from the no.3 layering panel on a white textured CS, shown in the pic below, using speckled egg distress oxide ink. For the sun impact at the top centre, I used a semicircle from the Background Builders MCM stamp set.





Using twisted citron, I blended the ink on some of the panel and drew the stripe lines using the stencil with a black pen. Then I stamped the floral branches from the Just Because stamp set. The sentiment is from the same set. And jewelled it with a few rhinestones!

Here is the hop list with some more amazing inspirations at Uniko:

Introducing: Stencil Layering Retro stripes and Ink & Flip Mid Century Leaves

Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday! 

Welcome to Day 5, featuring two new stencils and a new addition to the Ink & Flip series!


First showcasing the Bauhaus Layering Retro Stripes Stencil with 5 easy layers.





On a white panel, I placed my first layer of the stencil and inked it using rustic hinge Distress ink.





Then I placed the second layer of the stencil and inked it with Carved pumpkin DI. And now I placed the 3rd layer of the stencil using fossilised amber ink and proceeded with the same procedure using the 4th and 5th layers of the stencil.  And voila, done with such crisp results!






The sentiment is from the Sunshine and rainbows stamp set. I hope it's clear how easy to use this pretty stencil with such a good result!



Now featuring Ink & Flip Mid Century Leaves Stencil






On a white CS panel, I placed my stencil and blended some DI through this stencil as shown in the pic below.





Then I flipped the stencil and inked the leaves again. The line impact is from this new release. The sentiment is from the Originally Organic Flower Garden stamp set. I embellished it with a few rhinestones.    

Tomorrow is the final release day, so don't forget to visit the Uniko Brand Ambassador's Blog Hop!

Happy crafting!

Introducing: Background Blocks Swiss Dots

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Welcome to Day 4 at Uniko!

Introducing: Background Blocks Swiss Dots, a perfect addition and much needed basic design!

Here is a shaker card using these pretty Swiss dots.





Who doesn't love a shaker card? When I saw this cute Polka Dots stamp set, I knew what I wanted to make!
For this card, I used a Pillow style die from Spellbinders. Stamped the Polka dots on a white die-cut panel and filled it with various shaker elements. The sentiment is from the Big & Bold Happy stamp set.
Wow! So much fun!
