Ink & Flip Masculine Inspiration Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Hello everyone!

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Time for the Uniko Brand Ambassador Blog Hop with Masculine Inspiration!

The Uniko owner, Bev, started creating and launching these Ink & Flip stencils in August 2023. And come up with so many creative styles with one layer and more with geometrical patterns! But shamefully, one of the very BIG brand copied two of the designs going to be launched in August. Kindly support small businesses 😡

Here I started using an Ink & Flip Delightful stencil in action.

I used Mermaid Lagoon, Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxides, and Faded Jeans Distress Ink to create the delightful diamonds in blue tones. And stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment.

I stamped and watercoloured my organic flowers using Candied Apple Distress Ink and added some white dots using a gel pen in the centre of the flowers. I fussy cut all the flowers and placed them on the background.

Here is the list to join the blog hop:

May 2025 Non Release Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hello everyone!

Happy Sunday!

It's always good to revisit a previous product release this Year. Bev suggested we choose any product from this year's release.

Today, I am featuring the Layering Flower Fusion stencil from the newest release in April. This is my favorite one, having so many options.

I created this beautiful background using distress Oxides inks with a vintage feel.

On a white textured panel, I started by inking the layering stencils individually.

The tiny floral element and the sentiment are from the Big & Bold Hello stamp set. I highlighted the sentiment using a die-cut frame in black for more interest.

Don't forget to comment along the hop on all the designers' posts with a giveaway to win the £25 eGift code to spend in the Uniko store!

April 2025 Release Day, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway

 Hello crafty Friends!

Happy Sunday!

Welcome to the Uniko New Products launch! All the new products we shared all week are officially available at the Uniko store now, and I can't wait to see what you guys create with them!

Card 1

Butterfly Serenade Stamp set is so versatile. You can create so many different styles using this stamp set.

I directly stamped the full image on a white panel using heat embossing ink and heat embossed it in Opaque Bright White EP. I blended the stamped panel in various colors of different DI in rainbow order-  mustard seed, mowed lawn, salty ocean, wilted violet, abandoned coral, picked raspberry and twisted citron. I added some water droplets and cleaned the panel using a baby wipe. 

The sentiment is from the same set. I mounted the panel to my white card base.

Card 2

For this card, I am featuring the Layering Spring Blossom stencil with shaker cuteness!

First, I layered all the stencils from this set one by one using carved pumpkin, crushed olive, fossilised amber, wilted violet, speckled egg, salvaged patina, and mermaid lagoon distress oxide inks. Then, I used the small solid flower image from the Originally Organic Flower Garden stamp set on the larger-sized floral images using rustic wilderness, Mermaid Lagoon, and wilted violet distress oxide inks. I used the outlined floral image on the small floral ones using Jet Black ink. 

I added a die-cut black frame to create some shaker fun with tiny colored flower sequins.

Card 3

For this Ink & Flip Delightful Diamonds stencil, I used cracked pistachio and scorched timber distress inks. I added a green decor marker between the white lines. I fussy-cut all along the design.

The happy word is from the Big & Bold Happy collection die set, which is distressed using mawed lawn ink. The sentiment is also from the same set. I placed my hand-cut stencil panel at the focal point, and before adhering it, I added a green twine to it. I added some enamel dots for more interest.

Card 4

 I started by stamping Background Blocks Pinstripes in carved pumpkin DI. Then I overstamped the Originally Organic Flower Garden flower bunch image using candied apple DI. For the coloring part, I just blended the lines using a pinch of water with a pointed brush.  The sentiment is from the same set. In the end, I added some black splatters. And voila, see the magic. I love the outcome.

Card 5

For my last card, I am featuring the Layering Flower Fusion stencil. On a textured baby pink panel, I laid my stencil one by one using Little Birdie Primrose, midnight blue and cranberry pigment inks. I added a scalloped die-cut heart.

The sentiment is from the So Much stamp set, which I stamped in Little Birdie Primrose and Midnight pigment inks. I also added some dots using my ZIG water brush pens.

Introduction Day 5......... Layering Spring Blossom

 Hello crafty friends!

Happy Saturday!

Welcome to the Final Introduction, Day 5. Today, I am featuring Layering Spring Blossom, which has three layers.

I took a textured CS to showcase the magic of this pretty spring blossom layering stencil.

First, I placed the first layer of a larger-sized floral image stencil on my textured navy blue CS and inked it with Glacier white pigment ink. Then, I placed the second small floral image with leaves stencil and the third one with dots using the same white pigment ink.

Again, I placed the first layer & second layer stencil and inked up the floral images using crushed olive and rustic wilderness distress oxide inks for some colors to pop.

The sentiment is from the Flower Power #10 stamp set. And placed this panel on a textured cream Card base. 

 Check out Uniko Blog for more inspiration, along with all the DT members' blog posts.

See you tomorrow for the Final release and blog hop!

Happy crafting!
