Win it Wednesday - Come On England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Happy Wednesday.

It's still kind of Christmas in July here at Uniko, with a twist. I used the Stencil - Ink & Flip Christmas Star to create a good luck card for the England team tonight ⚽️

I simply used white pigment ink through the stencil and made it a little more solid by heart embossing with white embossing powder. My sentiment choice is from Everyday Spring Sentiments as I didn't have a Come On England one! 

Maybe that will change if they win the world cup.

As it is Win It Wednesday I am giving away this stencil, plus a secret add on that's coming at the end of July. 

Simply comment on this post here or across Uniko's social media by the 31st July 2026 for your chance to win. Winners announced in August and an alternative prize to the same value will be offered ONLY if you already own this stencil.

Good Luck Lads & Come On ENGLAND!

Christmas Tree Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday.

Today I decided to dust off the Stencil - Ink & Flip Christmas Tree Pattern for this clean & simple Christmas card.

I started by cutting two white card mat layers, 9.5 x 13cm and on one I inked the stencil with my new favourite colour combination, Basil and Berry Kiss. I then trimmed the panel into a triangle and adhered it to the other mat layer.

To finish I added a Berry Kiss die cut bow and a sentiment from Christmas sentiments before adhering to my white card base. Though there were a few steps to this, I think this would be pretty easy to mass produce.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Christmas in July Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Deck The Halls

Bonjour !

Izzy here and I'm back with a new inspiration card for celebrating Christmas in July with Uniko !

For this new inspiration I chose to combine an old set, Rustic Wreath (soon back in stock), with a stencil of the last release Ink & Flip Chevron Duo.

On a double white card, I simply stamped the different elements of the set Rustic Wreath to make the wreath. Then I separated the card with a line of gold heat embossing in order to make the stencilling.

I used the Ink & Flip Chevron Duo with red Distress oxide ink because the pattern reminded me of candy canes. But in the end, I think it looks more like floorboards ! 😄

To finish my card, I simply chose the sentiment from the set that went perfectly with this scene.

Well, that's all from me today. Thanks for joining me and hopefully I've given you some inspiration. And remember, if you like the products of my two inspiration posts, they will be very soon back in stock.

Have a lovely day and thank you for stopping by.

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! 

Christmas In July Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Scandinavian Christmas

Bonjour !

Izzy here with an inspiration card for celebrating Christmas in July with Uniko !

To make my card I imagined a Christmas present and to do it I choose the beautiful set Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas, which will be soon back in stock (if not yet !) and here is what I came up with.

I simply stamped twice the block on tow pieces of white card stock and I coloured them with coloured pencils.

On the back of another piece of card stock I attached the thread in order to make the bow on the front and I flat adhered this piece on a double white card.

To finish, I cut the two images and I foam mounted them on the double card. I thought it was not necessary to add any sentiment on the top, and I will stamp the appropriate one when I will send it (just in a few months !).

Well, that's all from me today. Thanks for joining me and hopefully I've given you some more inspiration to start your Christmas stash. I will come back soon with more inspiration.

Have a lovely weekend and thank you for stopping by.

Festive Friday, BA Inspiration using MCM Baubles stamp set and stencil

Good morning, Julie here with a card for Uniko's celebration of Christmas in July!

It's a great opportunity to get my Christmas card stash up as I've been a bit remiss in making them thus far! Here's a design I made using a mixture of MCM Bauble stamps and the matching stencil.

I'd seen a card on Pinterest where the front of the card was covered with die cut Christmas baubles and thought I could use the stamp and or stencil to get a similar effect.

On an A6 white card panel, I created rows of interlocking baubles using one of the baubles MCM stencil using a mix of Distress Inks, before adding the centers with one of the detail stamps from the matching stamp set. I thought I could add more dimension by adding a darker area over the white embossed detail. To achieve this, I stamped the shape from the stamp set onto some scrap paper, then traced over it onto a piece of acetate from some packaging and cutting away the center to create a stencil. 

Hangers were added with sparkly platinum WOW EP and some really old holographic gems were added to each center. As the background was so detailed I kept the sentiment simple, Season's Greetings from Christmas Sentiments, stamped with black on white and mounted on black.

That's all from for today but please check out some of the other BAs and Bev for more Christmas in July ideas!

 

Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Christmas in July!

Hello friends and welcome to my first post celebrating Christmas In July with Uniko! Today I'm sharing a clean and simple layout using the gorgeous Rustic Wreath stamp set.

I cut a white panel 3 3/4" x 5" and stamped the wreath twice using two different shades of green ink.  I used some of the smaller images in the set to fill in my wreath (berries, acorn and leaves) using red, brown and a Christmas pine ink.  I stamped the sentiment below the wreath using black ink and finished off with some gold pearls.  A really quick card suitable for mass producing but it looks so elegant.  

Bev along with my fellow Brand Ambassadors will be sharing Christmas in July inspiration all throughout the month and there will be a giveaway PLUS a new release - how exciting!  

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to check back for more inspiration.  

Love and hugs,
