Flippin' Seasonal Fun: Release day, Brand Ambassador Blog hop & Giveaway!

Hello to all!

Happy Saturday!

Finally, Today is official Release day, I love this small release yet so power-packed!!

 Time for a spooky Halloween card in a cute way!




I placed my Cobweb stencil on a white card panel at the top corner and filled the space using my Alcohol pastel ink pens. Added some dots using a gold marker. Love the pastel look.
I stamped a cat image using Archival Jet Black Ink. Added a bow for fun and the sentiment is from the same set. Placed my panel on a gold mirror cardstock.


Now some modern-style Christmas cards!




I started with a Background cobweb outer stencil using chipped sapphire distress ink and fussy cut out the shape. Then on my white card base, I created a background placing the cobweb stencil 1 using a rusty hinge and chipped sapphire distress inks. Using a Framed snowflake stamp set and Christmas greetings sentiment I created a background with nice ice blue glitter embossing powder. Then I put this embossed panel using double side foam tape.





I wanted a distressed Christmas tree image and this Ink & Flip Christmas tree is a perfect stencil for this look!

I started with a white square card base, I created the Geometric Christmas tree background using lumberjack plaid distress ink. Then I flipped the stencil and inked the stencil using Mowed Lawn, vintage photo Distress ink. I applied the same distressed inks using my foam brushes around this beautiful Christmas tree for a distressed look. Added some waterdrops. The sentiment is from the Baubles &Wreath builder stamp set using my Alcohol pastel ink pens.

Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Let's start with some more fun by introducing a new layering stencil! It has such a fun design that you can create so many designs with only the first layer, which I will reveal on the final day!

Are you ready for some Halloween cards, what's more spooky than this........!




On a white card panel, I inked through the stencil using villainous potion DI and rotated the stencil to create this angular design, inked it again for a subtle resist look. In the centre, I got the outer lined cobweb image. Then I placed my cobweb stencil and inked it with lost shadow and hickory smoke DI.
I added some tiny dots in cream color for a more realistic cobweb look. I added a spooky spider with EEK die-cut sentiment!

That's it for me today, I hope you enjoyed this spooky design! Visit Uniko's blog for more spooky inspiration by my co-designers here!

Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Some summery cards

Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

I am back for Uniko Inspirations featuring  2 cards made with different stamps and a summery feel in my favourite blue colors.


Card 1




This card showcases a lot of mixing of stamps and a stencil in an abstract style. 
I started with a small rainbow using orange blossom archival ink and clouds in baby pink ink. I stamped one of the striped circles using Uniko Background Builders: Round in the circle stamp set in blue ink. And the solid leaves from the Just Because stamp set. A line of the beaded circles was added to the circle stamp set. 
The sentiment is from the Just Because stamp set. Ultimately, I added a strip of pink blings under my rainbow.


Card 2




This was so easy to make. I started with the Uniko Background Blocks Pinstripe stamp set in Cornflower Blue Archival ink on a white card sheet 2 times. Then stamped both solid and outlined monstera leaves in Momento Luxe Nautical blue ink on the striped background as shown in the below pic.




Added this to my blue CS. The sentiment is from the Remembrance stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy crafting!

Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Stencil Christmas Cards

 Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

Today I am on Uniko Blog with some Christmas in July inspiration cards. I have fun making samples with MOD Background Builder Circles. I really like how they turned out!


Card 1

 I created a stencilled panel in the festive Christmas colors using Distress inks lumberjack plaid and cracked pistachio by masking the stencil. 




I added the panel to a red color card stock and adhered that panel to my white card base. The sentiment is from the Most Wonderful stamp set. The addition of red pearls enhances the beauty of this card, isn't it!

Card 2

I came up with an idea for a type of pinwheel flower using it somewhere. How would it work initially? The end result is here.



What do you think? Pretty funky Christmas card in rainbow colors! The colors of the pinwheel flowers and the background is created using the Distress inks pine needles, mowed lawn, crackling campfire, carved pumpkin, uncharted mariner, chipped sapphire, picked raspberry, and wilted violet.



 The sentiment is from the Season of the Beauty stamp set. The colored rhinestones are added to the center of the flowers.

Go and make some funky pinwheel flowers for yourself. The MOD background Builder Circles is such a fun and versatile stencil, you definitely go for it!

Thanks for visiting today!

Happy crafting!

Have you noticed the fabulous new website look.......? If not, visit now; all the latest products are available here!!!









So let's get started with my first card.



I created some dimensional hexagons in rainbow colors using different distress inks. Firstly, I masked the panel to create my design. Adhered my first layer of stencil applied the distress ink and then flipped the stencil, inking the dimensional hexagons one by one. The sentiment is from the everyday spring sentiments stamp set.




Created the diagonal offside stripes in bold colors inking twice. First in salty ocean distress ink and then picked raspberry ink by overlapping the stripes.
The sentiment in the center is from Big & bold Happy stamp set.




 For this card, I started by stamping some offset stripes on a white panel. Die cut a butterfly from this.
On my black card base adhered two layered of textured sheets in yellow and soft green. Stamped the pattern using Background blocks linear stamp set in rustic wilderness distress oxide.

Before adhering to the striped panel, I placed a piece of black CS under the butterfly for dimension.
I love you sentiment is from Flower power 9 stamp set. Finished it off with some black rhinestones.





How fun to play and match with some new designs to old ones!
This is what I thought of this set when I opened up my new goodies and came up with this fun idea, beautiful blooms and so whimsical!

First, I created some stripes by a masking technique using background builder offset stripes, and outlined the stripes using a black Sharpie pen. The cat is from Mid-Century Modern Purrfect Day. The blooms are from the Flower Power 9 stamp set and I watercolored them using my ZIG watercolor brushes.
The sentiment and the small hexagon elements from the Bee stamp set and placed some small rhinestones to enhance the beauty of this card!





Now some colorful blooms card using Flower Power 10 stamp set. At the bottom, I placed the scattered polka dots stencil and inked it in jet black ink. Stamped the blooms and leaves, watercolored them all. Added a thin black strip and placed some adhesive half-black pearls.





For my last card, I created a background pattern using the floral images from the Flower Power 10 set. I stamped the flowers and leaves multiple times using the last shadow ink.
Then watercoloured my florals and leaves using ZIG watercolor brushes. 
After creating my own background pattern, I adhered that panel to my black card base with matching color stripes. I heat-embossed the sentiment in white from the same set and finished it off with some rhinestones.
Yes, I was oohing and aahing over this for quite some time seeing the result!!

Day 2 ...... Introducing: Flower Power #9

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

Oh, my sweet bees!!

Welcome back to Day 2! Today Introducing the Flower Power series #9, another addition. This set has many elements with hexagon-shaped flowers and I adore the sweet buzzing bee with such cute sentiments.




I randomly stamped the honeycomb image with mustard seed distress ink for a grungy look on a white scalloped frame die-cut panel.
I stamped the bee with I miss you sentiment. Added the smallest hexagon flower in black, complimenting perfectly with this sentiment. 
At the bottom using the masking tape, stamped some flowers in black with rhinestones to glam up!







I am so positive that once you have tried the new Hexagon-shaped flowers, you will be amazed at how well they work and how beautiful the textures are! 
For this card, I created a rainbow color theme with hexagon flowers using different distress inks and bees amongst them, like a garden. The sentiment is from the same set. Added crystal clear pearl drops to the flower centre.

Super easy and cute.

Day1..... Introducing Ink & Flip Geometric Hexagon

 Hello to all!

Happy Tuesday!


I am excited to show the June first release product: Ink & Flip Geometric Hexagon Stencil! 

Great combination of Art and Math, the possibilities are endless!

This one may be for me. You can make many patterns using this ink & flip stencil and create a card for any occasion by changing colors, textures, and techniques!

Here is the first idea I had with my first try with the new two-layered Hexagon pattern stencil!




To create my background I placed my first layer of the stencil and applied distress inks. Then, I flipped my same stencil and inked again using a foam brush. In the center, you will get a hexagon. Now I adhered my second layer of the stencil to create a Pattern inside the Hexagon. The bee hive with a bee's knees with a sentiment from the Bee Happy stamp set.



I tried to keep a dimensional look for the guys in your life with my next design.
There is so much to notice in these pieces! The more you did, the more possibilities you saw.....!!




I created the geometric Hexagons in shades of brown with 3D dimensions at the center panel using the Hexagon pattern stencil. Masked both sides and applied Altenew peach perfect, dark chocolate, caramel toffee and paper bag ink. I trimmed the extra piece in length and added that trimmed piece using foam tape for the dimension with a Birthday sentiment from the Big & Bold Happy stamp set. 
It's got that retro, mid-century look that I love!

The addition of the loop idea came from my dear Bev's flower card and inspired me to add this beautiful flower black ribbon loop. In my opinion, it gives an aesthetic look, what do you think........! Finished it off with some rhinestones.

In the meantime, check out more inspirations by our fab Uniko Brand Ambassadors here:

Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Background Block MOD Builder stamp and stencil cards

 Hello friends!

Happy Monday!

Today I am showcasing the beautiful stamp and stencil from Uniko: Background Block MOD Builder!

Card 1

This Background Block MOD Builder stamp totally amazed me with its pattern block, so many possibilities. Do you agree with me!!!

I created a Masculine style card in grey tones! 


I started with a whole block from the upper side on a white panel and then the lower side using archival jet black ink. Then I filled the Neutral grey color using a Copic Marker in the whole pattern. I adhered that patterned panel to the black base card. Added another white panel with a sentiment I Miss You from the Just Because stamp set. Simply finished it off with some black pearls.



Card 2

The next card showcases the Background Block Mod Builder stencil with the same pattern in multicolored spring gardening. I used only the centre part of the stencil.



The repeating pattern makes it perfect. I used different Distress inks to create the pattern and cut the panel from the center. The sentiment is from the Just Because stamp set and is finished with a few white pearls in the center of the flowers.

Working with these two was so much fun!
Happy crafting!

March Non- Release Spring Botanicals Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

Spring has already arrived with so many beautiful blooms! Today is a bright and sunny day here after two days of rain........ I made two cards for today's hop and making me smile out loud because I know spring is already in the air YAY!

We are giving love to the Spring Botanical series!

To make this card I used the Spring Botanicals Daffodil stamp set. Since our daffodils just started blooming this week in my park, why not use this beautiful stamp and give it some love!!




I stamped the daffodil flower in Black archival ink. I paired it with the Background Blocks splatter stamp set using DI.



Then I watercolored the flower using the distressed inks.




I stamped the sentiment using black archival ink and layered it to my metallic olive green CS.




In the end, finished it off with some black sequins. Love the watercolor look!


Card 2





I used the same set in a different style for my other card.





On a piece of white CS, I stamped the image using DI. I watercolored it with the same inks and then fussy cut it for a dimensional look. To create my background, I paired it with the Mid-Century Modern Squares stencil. The mowed lawn ink is blended on the bigger white panel and the squeezed lemonade ink is blended on the small white panel to match my daffodil flower. I love the soft look I achieved on this.




The sentiment is from the same set and I finished it with some lemon and apple green sequins.
I had so much fun with these. Hope I inspired you!
