Introducing Ink & Flip Triangulate Stencil

 Hello everyone!

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.......



This design is just set on point and just features triangles. Each row features squares of background color in between the colorful triangles, while triangular patterns is playing optical illusion with sparkle and shine here.

Happy crafting!

Have a wonderful day!

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:

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.

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!
