Day 5: Introducing Flower Power 12

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

Today is the last day of the Introduction of a new release at Uniko: Flower Power 12 stamp set!

I love this new set, having outlined and solid images with leaf patterns. The font of the sentiments is amazing, too!

To create my card, I began by stamping the solid image flowers in red pigment ink. Then I stamped the leaves in hickory smoke ink. I colored the leaves using a grey brush marker. The sentiment is from the same set. I placed silver glitter strips to enhance the beauty of this card and added a few silver pearls.

Day 4: Introducing Background Blocks My Favorite Color

Hello everyone!

Happy Tuesday!

Introduction Day 4: Background Blocks my Favorite Color, a new release at Uniko! This time, Bev did an awesome job designing new products, agreed!

I thought it would be fun to make a Christmas card in non-traditional colours.

On a pink die-cut panel, I stamped the light string part only and covered the sentiment part with masking tape. I heat-embossed the lights using Wow White Puff Twinkle Glitter EP.

I used my Zig brush marker pens to fill the colours in the lights. Then I stamped the bold sentiment in dual shades of pink, as shown in the above pictures. It really stands out!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

Another Introduction of the New Release at Uniko Blog with fabulous Ink & Flip Christmas Pattern and Snowflake Pattern, another addition to the Ink & Flip series! You will be amazed to see the outcome!

I used Fossilised Amber, Carved Pumpkin, Abandoned Coral, and Rustic Wilderness DO inks to create my card using the Ink & Flip Christmas Tree Pattern.

The sentiment is from the upcoming new release, which I stamped on a die-cut stitched circle. I trimmed the lower part of the circle slightly and heat-embossed the sentiment in opaque bright white Wow EP. I added tiny white dots using a Posco white pen.

The other new stencil Ink & Flip Snowflake Pattern!

I used Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet DO inks. I added tiny snowflakes to the centre of all the patterned backgrounds. The sentiment is from the Big & Bold snow stamp set.

Christmas in July Day 2: Introducing Background Blocks Merry Christmas Scramble

Hello everyone!

 Happy Sunday!

I hope you are enjoying your day!

I am back with the next Uniko stamp Introduction, Christmas in July New Release called Background Blocks Merry Christmas Scramble.

I love the Christmas font and its modern style, which can be used in many ways. Awesome pattern!

I stamped the Merry Christmas Scramble on a double-stitched die-cut white panel and heat-embossed it using White Gold Pearl EP. Then I colored the Christmas word using my ZIG watercolor brush markers. I matted a gold pearl PP on a white card base and added my stamped panel to it. 

Here is a closer look: 

It's hard to capture the impression in a gold pearl, but in real life, it looks so pretty!

I hope you enjoyed it.

Christmas in July Brand Ambassador Inspiration : Interactive card

 Hello everyone!

Happy Monday!

"Christmas in July" is our theme this month, and I created an interactive card with a modern touch as a Brand Ambassador Inspiration!

I wanted to create a double-pocket card with Christmas wishes, so here is my take on it with such fun!

One pocket is vellum one, to create some mystery about what is behind the message!

And another one is behind the Christmas trees!!

For my card, I started stamping the background block waves twice on a piece of vellum and heat-embossed it using Wow Opaque Bright White embossing powder. And cut it according to my need as shown in the pic below.

Then, on another piece of white CS panel, I stamped the bold Merry Christmas sentiment from the Most Wonderful Stamp set and tiny snowflakes from the Big & Bold Snow stamp set using DI.

The Christmas tree is also from the Most Wonderful stamp set, and I colored it with my new sparkly watercolored pen.

Firstly, I adhered my tree panel to a white card base using foam adhesive tape, leaving the upper side open to put the Christmas wishes panel inside. Then I created a window panel on the Christmas tree panel and placed the vellum waves panel as snow waves using the foam adhesive.

Have you seen the shimmer on the Christmas tree? 

I love the sparkly outcome, it gave the festive feel!!

I hope you enjoyed the process, and I can inspire you to make your one!

Happy crafting!

Have a wonderful day!

Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration at Uniko's VIP Facebook!

 Hello to all! 

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Today, I am presenting a card with a Christmas theme as an inspiration at Uniko's VIP Facebook challenge in a vintage color scheme!

I chose one of the baubles from Uniko's Mid Century Modern Bauble stamp set. For stamping the baubles, I used my watercolour ZIG brush markers. 

I created the background first with an outlined ornament. Then I stamped the solid circles using DI. I watercolored the baubles with a pinch of color and more water for the vintage feel. Stamped the motifs to decorate my baubles. 

And finished it off with some black enamel dots.

I hope I inspired you to start your Christmas creations early!

Happy crafting!

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:

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.

Introduction Day 4.......Originally Organic Flower Garden

 Hello crafty friends!

Happy Friday!

Welcome to Introduction Day 4 at Uniko Blog. Today I am featuring a nature-themed card using the new Orignally Organic Flower Garden stamp set.

It's a new addition to Bev's Signature design style with the organic flower series. It has a bunch of small garden flowers, big stems, and branches with so many beautiful sentiments!

For this card, I used cloud stencil 9 to create a cloudy sky background using salty ocean DI and to create the ground, I blended the mowed lawn DI.

Next, I stamped the floral images, both big and small, from the stamp set onto this inked panel using Uncharted Mariner DI with the Hello Friend sentiment. I watercolored them using mustard seed and the same blue DI. I also added a solid floral image between the floral gardens.

Check out the Uniko Blog for more inspiration from all the other DT members' blog posts.
