Ink & Flip Inspiration Week - Day 1

Hello & Happy Monday.

Welcome to the first Ink & Flip Inspiration Week of 2026.

If you're not sure what an Ink & Flip is, keep reading and stick around this week as you'll get all you need to know, inspiration and more from myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors about these unique and creative stencils. 

Ink & Flip Stencils first debuted on the Uniko brand back in July 2023. It is a unique concept I designed that began with fun geometric designs. Since then I have developed the concept further to create all over patterns. There is currently 13 different Ink & Flip Stencils available HERE on the website, literally something to suit everyone. 

There is lots of inspiration here on the blog, by searching Ink & Flip in the sidebar. Plus there are lots of videos and shorts over on the YouTube Channel.

When I do an Ink & Flip Inspiration Week, it usually means there are some NEW Ink & Flip Stencils on the way. And I am pleased to say there are two new designs coming at the end of the month. 

Anyway, enough talk, let's get to some inspiration. Here is what I have created for today...





I first chose to use the Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Butterfly Stencil, as I have had this rainbow idea for a while. It took some time to mask and ink both sides, but I really think that it was worth the time.




I also wanted to pair the butterfly with something different than the background layer that comes with the butterfly, so I chose Ink & Flip Delightful Diamonds Pattern. I inked the diamonds in Pebble and Dove to make the rainbow colours pop. My sentiment choice today is from Floral Vines.

As it's a special week, I thought I would offer all of the Ink & Flip Stencils at 20% off this week. A couple of the stencils that are out of stock are available on back order too.




Thank you for joining me today. I will be back tomorrow with the lovely Anita to share more inspiration using these fun and creative stencils.

Mid Century Modern Baubles & Introducing MCM Baubles Stencil & Mask Inspiration Week

Hello & Happy Monday. 

Today I am kicking off a Mid Century Modern Baubles Inspiration Week, to also introduce a NEW addition Mid Century Modern Baubles Stencil & Mask, to use with or even without the stamp set. This new stencil will be available to purchase on Saturday 29th November. 

Mid Century Modern Baubles was release back in July / August 2023 and has been a firm favourite for all those who love, like me, the Mid Century Modern theme. 

Here are a couple of my favourites I made back when the stamps were released.






When I designed this stamp set, I also designed a stencil & mask to go along side it. However, at the time I thought it was too 'simple' and not necessary. 

Since then I have had LOTS of requests to bring a stencil out that makes colouring these baubles a breeze. Especially useful for those who like ink blending like myself. 

So I introduce you to the Mid Century Modern Baubles Stencil & Mask. 




And of course I have some inspiration to share with you today using this new addition.




For my first card I wanted to achieve a similar look to the first card above. I started with the Mid Century Modern Baubles Stencil and inked the larger bauble, first with Poppy to the middle of the bauble, then with Cranberry to the outer edges.




I then stamped the black details from the Mid Century Modern Baubles clear stamp set, finally adding a bow stamped in Sunflower ink, fussy cut and adhered using glue. I topped it off with a gold embellishment.

Next up today I wanted to show how you can use the stencil and mask to add colour to the stamped baubles.




For this card I started by stamping the bauble on the left. I then used the coordinating stencil shape to ink through using Grapefruit ink. I then used the corresponding mask to mask this bauble to stamp the bauble behind. I kept the mask in place and then coloured the second bauble with Aqua Sky ink. 

Next I stamped the details of the baubles. Again, I kept the bauble mask in place on the left bauble and stamped the solid circle shape with Oceanside and the burst detail in Peacock.

For the bauble on the left I used Sorbet and Cayenne respectively.




Lastly I finished with bows stamped in Cayenne and Peacock, which I fussy cut before adhering and adding a gold embellishment. The sentiment is another from the stamp set.

These two cards barely scratch the surface of the creative possibilities this stencil has and as I am only releasing this one stencil, I thought it would be fun to have a Brand Ambassador inspiration week, leading up to the release of the stencil & mask on Saturday 29th November 9am GMT. Where we will have a traditional Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway. 

Be sure to pop by tomorrow for more inspiration from myself and Anita.
