Zesty Lemon..... Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration Card!

Brand Ambassador Inspirations : Summer cards

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

Today's card inspirations are full of summer and sunshine! I made two cards showcasing Monstera Leaves in summery colors and sunny mood. I am showcasing super trendy technique of contemporary art - abstract collages! I am on the Uniko blog today.

First card

The soft pastel hues of the summer sun along with circle is the inspiration of this card. I love how this circle created a landing spot for smaller stamped leaves.

To create this look, I stamped the circle from the Background Builders: Round in circle stamp set using Memento rose bud ink and to achieve the  soft color impact, I re-stamped the image using Frost white pigment ink on it. Then I stamped the Paradise leaves in black and soft lemon color. In between the top two leaves I created a summer sun in soft yellow using the little part of the circle image directly.

The sentiment is from the Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set. The completed panel attached to light cream color using double tape.

For this card, I created a simple stroked panel by dragging my Memento dye ink directly in smoky blue from the top to bottom directly 3- 4 times. I stamped the paradise and monstera leaves straight on the card using both outlined and solid images in sweet plum dye ink and Versafine Onyx black ink.

The sentiment is from the Originally Organic Flower Garden stamp set.

Have a sun-filled day!

Happy crafting!

Would love to join these challenges:

Brand Ambassador Inspiration: My Favorite Color Is Rainbow!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

I am on Uniko Blog today! 

A cute lil' spring pattern came to life using a mix and match of some stamps!

I am obsessed with small rainbow image from the My Favorite Color Is Rainbow Stamp set!

Bring cheer and vibrance to any card with this gorgeous rainbow background! If you are looking for a burst of positivity, colors and happiness, this rainbow-patterned background with blooms will give you just that!

On a textured white panel CS, I stamped the rainbow images in rows along with Florals using Mid Century Modern Florals stamp set,  Then I turned the rainbow image into tortoise, how fun. I used my ZIG clear brushes and stamped the sentiment. 

I hope you enjoyed the outcome!

Happy crafting!

Welcome to the March 2026 Non-Release Brand Ambassador Hop & GIVEAWAY!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

Today, I have to share some  inspirations with you all using the last two months release. I love how the full release allows you to create a trendy, abstract and retro look for your projects. You can easily create a variety of designs using the new stencils, stamps, and the other Uniko Ambassadors are also sharing many ideas to help you create your own designs.

Card 1

This pattern showed a balanced arrangement of semi-circular shapes using the Ink & Flip Layering Retro Flowers Stencil from Uniko. I used only the semi - circles stencil from the set. A medley of orange, blue and green gives a fresh atmosphere with a touch of red and maroon color to this unique design. It's a simple, geometric style design with a splash of vibrant colors. The textured look added visual depth and created a cozy atmosphere!

I used speckled egg, salvaged patina, uncharted mariner, rusty hinge distress oxides inks and red, maroon, and dark blue pigment inks.

I enjoyed the retro feel of it! It's always fun to play, love the outcome what I expected!

Card 2

My second card features the Ink & Flip Layering Retro Flowers Stencil and pairs it with the Layering Organic Blooms Stencil, perfect for spring and summer.

On a Baby Pink textured CS, I first created the leaves using Midnight Violet Altenew ink at the bottom. Then I added some blooms using the Pinkalicious and Velvet Altenew inks with my blended brushes. I added one more stem using the same style. Then, I added the Blush Altenew ink with my blended brush to create a little more texture and depth to my background. The sentiment and the pollen dots are from the Organic Blooms stamp set. I highlighted the leaves and blooms using my white acrylic marker.

I added some splatters to enhance more dimension to this ethnic and abstract floral pattern, right!!

Card 3

Happy spring sailing! A playful mix of geometry, summery colors and botanical rhythm with a punch of creativity!

For this card, I used the Layering Bauhaus Spring stencil. I used squeezed lemon, Cracked Pistachio, Pine Needles, Seedless Preserves, Wilted Violet, Candied Apple, Saltwater Taffy, Tumbled Glass, Uncharted Mariner, Bundled Sage Distress Inks.

It is delicately framed by a little cream scalloped border, a beautiful way to highlight the full block!

The sentiment is from Everyday Spring Sentiments stamp set.

Card 4

I am obsessed with small rainbow image from the My Favorite Color Is Rainbow Stamp set!

Looking to add a burst of celebration to your design in an easiest way! The right bold Happy Birthday  font can instantly set the tone of colors and make your message shine with stylish flair.

It's not just typography --- it's a design experience that adds magic to every project.

For my card, I used Geometric Happy Birthday Stencil. The stencil is super quick to use. You can add just two colors and add colors in rainbow style. A few enamel dot finished it off super quick!

And I break the font according to my need. I replaced the letter A to a rainbow image and the whole impact turned into a visual art! 

I used Picked Raspberry, Broken China, Scattered Straw, Victorian Velvet, Stormy Sky and Abandoned Coral Distress inks. For the rainbow stamped image I used my Acrylic markers. Don't afraid to mix and match to your design and experiment with a different style! So clean and simple it is!

Happy Weekend.

First, a little formal introduction...

Background Blocks Birthday Scramble is a fun instant sentiment block. With the popularity of last year's Christmas version, Bev couldn't resist making a birthday version.

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!!

Stencil - Layering Retro Rainbow £14.50

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

 I love rainbows. And this is such a fun and cute stamp set!

Background Blocks My Favourite Colour Is Rainbow £6.50

www.uniko.co.uk

On a piece of white CS, I started with stamping the rainbow phrase in multicolors using Mermaid Lagoon, fossilized amber, Carved Pumpkin, Mowed Lawn and Crackling Campfire DI. 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.

Card 4

Ink & Flip Stencils are just special to me. I love the unique design of this amazing stencil!

Retro Flowers is a two-layer stencil. One for the flowers and one for the centre of the flowers. They can be used together or individually for even more creative options.

Stencil - Ink & Flip Layering Retro Flowers £8.00

For my last card, I am featuring the Ink & Flip Layering Retro Flowers stencil! I wanted a textured look, so I applied some textured paste to showcase these pretty retro flowers. The sentiment is heat embossed in the silver pearl using the Mid Century Everyday Sentiment stamp set.

And that wraps up this little January Release. I hope you love the products as much as I do. But, as always, the Brand Ambassadors are here to tempt and inspire you a little bit more.
