Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Ink & Flip Chevron Duo

  Hello everyone!

Happy Saturday!

Vinita here today!

A mesmerising pattern of interlocked blue geometric shapes creates a vibrant optical illusion. The bold, clean lines and stark contrast conjure a dynamic mid-century modern aesthetic. It pulses with rhythmic energy, transforming a flat surface into a visually captivating, three-dimensional experience.



I used Uncharted Mariner and Mermaid Lagoon DI to create a chevron pattern using the Ink & Flip Chevron Duo stencil. I love the 3d dimensional look I achieved! I added a Happy Birthday sentiment, perfect for Masculine ones!

Happy weekend!

Happy crafting!

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 card in July in advance! And at the end of the month, some new festive release to celebrate the Christmas in July, Be ready!!!

Vinita is here with 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!

The more I use and see others use this stencil, the more creative possibilities are shown. The team have done just that, thinking of ways to use it along with striking colour combos. 

Thank you for joining us today and I hope you come back tomorrow for the next product introduction. All the products being introduced will be available at 9am BST Saturday 27th June.

Two For Tuesday - Hexagonal Christmas

Happy Tuesday.

It's been a crazy start to Autumn here at Uniko HQ and I am hoping things are settling, in that I can start sharing more inspiration here and across social media.

Today I made time to make a couple of cards and I even recorded making one and have a YouTube Short HERE. 

I fancied Inking & Flipping and turning it Christmassy. 





For this card I was inspired by a layout I've used before HERE. As you can see I replaced the Chrysanthemum with the Ink & Flip Geometric Hexagon. 

I started inking with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink. Cleaned the stencil, flipped and used Nuvo Glacier Paste in Golden Era. 

I added a hand drawn string with a fine liner, added a sentiment from Christmas Sentiments and a bow stamped in Dragonfruit using the one from Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder.




Sometimes I like using a little bit of ribbon and these little tabs are one of my favourite ways to use it. It doesn't create bulk. I adhered the bauble layer to my card base using foam tape, 1mm thick.

Next up I wanted to use both layers of the Ink & Flip Geometric Hexagon.




First I started with the bauble. I inked it with Dragonfruit & then Peacock. I also stamped the same bow and fussy cut both the hexagon and bow.

Next I went to the background layer. I inked with Honeysuckle and Oceanside to create a slightly softer feel to the colours. I added gold splatter using Gansi Tambi Starry Watercolours.




I stamped the same sentiment, drew a line for the bauble string before adhering the hexagon and bow using foam adhesive.

That's all I have today, but I would love to know which is your favourite of the two.

Bauhaus Geometrics & a Winner!

Happy Saturday.

What a beautiful day here in the North East, sunshine & warmth makes it feel like summer has arrived. I've had a very lazy Bean free day and I've made a few cards to share with you over the coming days. Along with designing some fun new products, but you'll have to wait a bit longer to see those ;)

Anyway, as I am announcing the winner for the May/June Mini Release, I thought I would make another card using the Bauhaus Blocks clear stamp set. This time I decided to pair it with the Stencil - Christmas Pop, without the Christmas look! 






I simply wanted to create this fun geometric background along the sides of my card base. I used Concord & 9th Cobblestone, Buttercup & Marmalade for my colours. The Bauhaus Block is adhered using foam tape and I added a few enamel dots for good measure. 




Now I've shared my card, how about we get to the winner. Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment here and across the social media platforms, your support, comments and lovely orders all make my day and I am sure I speak for the Uniko Brand Ambassadors too.

The lucky winner chosen from the comments left across social media is .

Congratulations Karen! 

Please send Uniko a DM on social media or an email via bev@uniko.co.uk along with your postal address and I will get your goodies in the post to you.

2023 May/June Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hello, Happy Friday AND Happy New Release Day!

I'm super excited to share these new products with you and they are now officially available to purchase over HERE on the website.

But, let me first formally introduce them. 

First up we have the newest addition to the Flower Power Collection with, Stencil - Flower Power #4. This stencil is a supersized version of the outline flower image from the Flower Power #4 Clear Stamp Set. Bringing even more creative possibilities to both products.

Next is Bauhaus Blocks Clear Stamp set. 

This clear stamp features 5 blocks in size, featuring Bauhaus inspired geometrics and patterns, along with 4 sentiment options in a fun modern font. The set is perfect for masculine themed products and pairs with lots of other previously released Uniko products you might have in your stash.

Lastly for this mini release, but by no means least I have a new addition to the layering stencil collection, Stencil - Layering Bauhaus Blocks Builder.

The name says it all really! It has 3 layers to achieve different colours, its block themed and inspired by Bauhaus. 

You might notice the common newest feature that I have incorporated into Uniko Stencil more recently. The option of a focal point or building to fill a larger space. Having the layers makes it a little more complex, but it it still super easy to achieve an all over pattern. 

I will be going LIVE over on the Uniko Facebook Page tonight at 7pm BST to demo this stencil. I hope you will join me, but if you can't the live will be recorded to watch back at a time that suits you.

Brand Ambassador Post : Background Blocks - Pinstripe II

 Hi there!

Hannelie here today with a set of cards so quick and so clean and so simple . I just realised again that cardmaking doesn't have to be complicated to be fun !

I started off with the intention to make five cards (the first five photos) and then the idea came to (sort of) combine a couple of them on one card... 

All you need is a background stamp, a sentiment stamp & some colored card stock . A couple of geometric dies or punches would make it even easier 😊

Inspiration for the designs come from some mid century posters like THIS pin combining bold color blocks with stripes. The color block provides a great spot to place the sentiment!













Here's the card with the combination of elements :





... and the complete set !



I used :


Thank you so much for popping in today! 

I hope you feel inspired ♥
