Uniko Let's Have Some FLIPPIN' Seasonal Fun - Day 1

Good morning, 

Welcome to the next few days of flippin' awesome designs from the Uniko Brand Ambassadors as we revisit some of the brilliant Uniko Ink & Flip stencils and introduce two new stencils (which are fabulous by the way!).

Today we are revisiting Uniko Ink & Flip Christmas Star stencil. I have created a Christmas card using this star but also shown how it doesn't need to be restricted to your Christmas stash. 

Using the Uniko Ink & Flip Christmas Star I selected several Distress Oxide inks and created shading and used white ink to create a light effect. Once dry I stamped the star banner from Uniko Reach For The Stars stamp set and added the sentiment from the same set in navy. I adhered this panel to a navy card blank to finish. 

For this card I offset the stencil and inked up in two shades of pink Distree Oxide ink. the sentiment is from Uniko Most Wonderful stamp set and inked up with Speckled Egg Distress Oxide ink to match the duck egg blue card blank. Finally I added some Nuvo Drops.

Of course there's lots more inspiration over on the Uniko blog and on each of the Brand Ambassadors individual blogs.

Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Flower Power

Good morning all, 

Today I am focusing on the Uniko Flower Power series for my Brand Ambassador inspiration. 

My first card uses Uniko Flower Power #2 stamp set. I have also used the Uniko Flower Power #1 - #6 matching die set for some of these cards. 

The flower stems and sentiments are stamped directly onto the card and the flower heads have been stamped, die cut and adhered using foam pads. 

My next card uses Uniko Flower Power #4 stamp set.

Both the stems and the flower heads have been stamped and die cut with the stems being adhered to the card flat, and the heads again adhered using foam pads. 

My final card uses Uniko Flower Power #6 stamp set.

I didn't use the die set here but I did want to move away from the CAS nature of the first two cards and fill the background with florals. I used the flower head and one of the leaves from the set and stamped them around the sentiment from the Uniko Birthday Wishes stamp set.

My passion for this series of stamps has definitely been re-ignited having had a play around with them. I have used only one Flower Power stamp set per card but of course you can mix and match these sets so the possibilities are endless!
