Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Christmas in July

 Hello to all!

Happy Sunday!

I hope you all are enjoying your weekend!

Uniko is ready for some Christmas inspiration cards in July in advance! And at the end of the month, some new festive release to celebrate the Christmas in July, Be ready!!!

Here is my Christmas inspiration card.

I created a Christmas card in abstract geometric style which has modern and vintage feel on it.

If you see deeply there is a big Christmas tree in this triangle pattern! So much fun with the Ink & Flip Triangulate stencil and techniques.

On a white panel, I started stenciling some of the triangles randomly using Rich Cocoa Memento ink and vintage photo Archival ink. Then I flipped the stencil and inked some triangles in cottage ivy Memento ink. I created a big triangle as Christmas tree. Then I added Gold texture paste for my abstract triangle pattern. I added some splatters too for more texture and interest. The sentiment is from the Mid Century Modern Christmas stamp set.

I finished it off with some foiled sequin stars.

Have a wonderful day!

Happy crafting!

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!

Introducing... Stencil - Ink & Flip Butterfly Pattern

 Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

Welcome to Day 3: Introducing the Ink & Flip Butterfly pattern, a new Uniko Brand addition!

Let's check today's card. I am excited to showcase my card in rainbow colors and this stencil is a perfect combination. And with a little colour twist, you can create so many versatile cards!

On a white card base, I blended DO inks in rainbow colors using barn door, carved pumpkin, twisted citron, fossilized amber, mermaid lagoon, unhartered mariner, picked raspberry and wilted violet.

Then, I placed my stencil and applied the textured background. I flipped the stencil and added some textures again to create a glittery impact for my butterflies. Then I stamped the beautiful butterfly image in black on the textured BG from the Butterfly Serenade stamp set.

The sentiment is from the same set and heat embossed in Metallic Platinum Sparkle EP on black, and placed in the centre of the card.

Celebrate every moment!

 Hello to all!

Happy Tuesday!

I am in love to make 3D Christmas tags, so made another one for this festive season and to decorate my Christmas tree with a winter feel & blue frosty theme!

I tried to create a scene on both sides of the tag, as a girl watching from her window, a snowman playing in the winter with the snowball and on the other side a car borrowing a Christmas tree as a gift while going to the house through the Winter Wonderland!!

There are a lot of tiny details. I started by die-cutting the outlined Christmas tree with a star border tree out of a holographic sheet and added the acetate die-cut sheet behind them. And started decorating my tree from one side as shown in the below pic with a closure look:

Now decorated the other side!

a closer look:

I added snow paste for winter textures and cotton for the snow textures.

Winter town landscape!

Hello friends!

Happy Monday!

Hoping you all enjoyed your weekend!

This time I made a beautiful winter town landscape with textures and adorable reindeer!

I started by dry embossing a white CS using 3d waffled diamonds and placed that layer on a navy blue base.

Die cut some 3 layers Christmas trees out of bottle green and lime green CS. Applied distress inks on them and added snow texture to them. 

Die cut some houses, watercolored them and added snow textures to them.

Then build a reindeer, watercolored it and arranged all the pieces.

Collect all the pieces, die cut a framed door die and made a scene. In the end added a sentiment, love the outcome!

Happy crafting!

Now die-cut stitched frames from a white handmade sheet. Die cut an Ampersand in textured metallic gold sheet and some true love stems in white. Added some gold markers to the love stems for the textures.

 Hello everyone!

Happy Thursday!

https://christmaskickstartchallenge.blogspot.com/2022/12/lets-trim-tree-for-challenge-68.html

The basic white top layer is debossed using spots EF from Itsy Bitsy.

My card base is a textured coconut cream CS. I added an inverted scalloped rectangle in Kraft color with dimension and created this adorable winter scene.

Added a torn snowbank to give detail and a layer of sparkle is heat embossed for more interest.

I die-cut some Christmas trees from a dazzling cream embossed textured sheet and a glittery tangerine sheet.  The cute fawn is in the kraft sheet.

The neon sunset glitter dots are the perfect combo with Kraft paper. I stamped the sentiment using archival ink.

Hope you enjoyed the process!
