Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Watercolour Emboss Resist

Morning all, 

Steph here today with some watercolour emboss resist which I was inspired to do following this lovely example by Anita. I started off with the Uniko Background Builders Arts Decoratifs stamp set and repeatedly heat emboss one line of the set in white. I then used metallic watercolours to create a wash across the card in various colours.

For my next card I heat embossed the Uniko Large Background: Scattered Polka Hearts stamp in white and did an ombre wash using four different blue inks. I white heat embossed one of the hearts from Uniko Always & Forever set, ink washed and fussy cut before adhering to the background with foam pads.

Finally, I remembered this fantastic card from Jules and was inspired to try the resist embossing with the Uniko Remembrance stamp set. 

I definitely need to work on my watercolour skills so that's on the list for this year! 

Much love

You're Going to Flip - Ink & Flip Christmas Star Revisited

Hello & Welcome to You're Going to Flip Week! 

If you missed what this is all about and the sneak peek, be sure to check out yesterdays post HERE. Today we a starting with a revisit and giving fresh inky love to the very first Ink & Flip stencil I designed and released back in July 2023, Ink & Flip Christmas Star.

I called it Christmas Star as it 'fell in' with the Christmas release! But really, this design can be used all year round and is especially great for those masculine cards. 

If you've never seen the Ink & Flip Christmas Star in action before, or you need a reminder, be sure to check out my video over HERE on Uniko's YouTube channel.

And be sure to hop along and see all the new wonderful inspiration from the team...

Welcome to, You're going to Flip Week & a Sneak Peek!

Hello, happy Monday and welcome to, You're Going To Flip Week! 

Myself and the Brand Ambassadors are doing things a little different this week. Mainly because I am a little 'off' schedule with a spell of poorly Beans, poorly husband's working from home and taking over the studio, the start of craft shows and then two weeks Easter holidays, I didn't want to rush a bigger release, but I didn't want to wait to bring you this either. 

This week on the blog leading up to Saturday when this NEW Ink & Flip layering stencil is available, we will be revisiting all the previously released Ink & Flip Stencils in turn each day with lots of inspiration on how to use these stencils. 

Hence, the naming of this week, You're Going to Flip Week! 

Let's have a look at the sneak peek...

I just love starting the week with a sneak peek 😃 and I think you might just flip 😉 when you see this in action in a few days. I hope you will join us this week for the fun and don't worry, there are new stamps on the way in May!

Brand Ambassador Inspiration: Background Block MOD Builder stamp and stencil cards

 Hello friends!

Happy Monday!

Vinita here showcasing the beautiful stamp and stencil: Background Block MOD Builder! 

Missed last month's new product release as my package was stuck at the Customs Deptt. But finally, the package has arrived, happy me!!!!

Card 1

This Background Block MOD Builder stamp totally amazed me with its pattern block, so many possibilities. Do you agree with me!!!

I created a Masculine style card in grey tones! 

I started with a whole block from the upper side on a white panel and then the lower side using archival jet black ink. Then I filled the Neutral grey color using a Copic Marker in the whole pattern. I adhered that patterned panel to the black base card. Added another white panel with a sentiment I Miss You from the Just Because stamp set. Simply finished it off with some black pearls.

Card 2

The next card showcases the Background Block Mod Builder stencil with the same pattern in multicolored spring gardening. I used only the centre part of the stencil.

The repeating pattern makes it perfect. I used different Distress inks to create the pattern and cut the panel from the centre. The sentiment is from the Just Because stamp set and is finished with a few white pearls in the centre of the flowers.

Working with these two was so much fun!

Happy crafting!
