Uniko Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY - Ink & Flip Seasonal Fun

Good morning, 

Welcome to the reveal of two new wonderful Uniko Ink & Flip stencils. If you are new to these, the stencils are (cleverly) designed to be inked, cleaned, flipped and inked using the reverse to create such a fantastic result. 

This week we have been revisiting the previously released Uniko Ink & Flip Christmas Star and Uniko Ink & Flip Snowflake as well as introducing two new Ink & Flip stencils. Here is the full reveal of the two new stencils.

Uniko Ink & Flip Layering Cobweb

A two part stencil, inner & outer which both can be inked and flipped.

My previous creations used the cobweb to create Halloween style cards but this card represents a cobweb hanging from branches on a frosty morning. The sentiment is from the Uniko Snowflake Serenade stamp set and the branches are from the Uniko Winter Foliage stamp set, die cut using the matching dies for this stamp set.

Uniko Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Christmas Tree

A two part stencil, inner & outer which both can be inked and flipped.

Here I have used only the inner stencil to create my row of Christmas trees. I masked an area across the centre of the card in order to stamp my sentiment from the Uniko Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder stamp set. 

So now you've seen the new stencils in full, head over to the Uniko blog and follow the Brand Ambassador blog hop to see their amazing creations. Leave some lovely comments along the way and you could be in with a chance to win your choice of three Uniko Ink & Flip stencils (check out the full range on the Uniko shop).

Uniko Let's Have Some FLIPPIN' Seasonal Fun - Introducing Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Christmas Tree

Morning! 

Welcome back to our week of celebrating the brilliant Uniko Ink & Flip stencils. As part of this fun we have revisited some previously released stencils and we are introducing two new ones. Yesterday we introduced the fabulous Ink & Flip Layering Cobweb and today we are introducing the equally wonderful Uniko Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Christmas Tree.

For this card I stuck with the traditional greens of an evergreen tree and light blues for the outer stencil, representing the sky. I added the stars to the top of my tree and the sky from the Uniko Reach For The Stars stamp set. The sentiment is from the Uniko Most Wonderful stamp set.

I went with non traditional colours for my next card but ones I like to use often on my Christmas cards. I went with a softer palette for the background and bolder colours for the tree which I inked up three times before fussy cutting. I scored a fold line down the centre of each tree, folded and adhered the right half of one to the left half of the next to create my 3D tree. I then adhered this to the inked panel. The sentiment is also from the Uniko Most Wonderful stamp set.

Now head over to the Uniko blog to check out the fantastic ideas the rest of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors had for this great new product.

Uniko Let's Have Some FLIPPIN' Seasonal Fun - Day 2

Hello there, 

Welcome to day 2 of our Uniko Brand Ambassador revisit of some previously released Ink & Flip stencils. Yesterday we had a play around with the Uniko Ink & Flip Christmas Star stencil so today it's the turn of the Uniko Ink & Flip Snowflake stencil.

For my first card I created a shaker card, firstly inking the stencil in two shades of turquoise Distress Oxide ink. I then cut out the centre star, backed it with acetate, built up the edges with foam pads to create the shaker pocket and added in some clear sequins. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment (from the Uniko Big & Bold Snow stamp set) directly on the card base and adhered the shaker topper to finish. 

My next card uses Uniko Background Blocks Scandinavian Christmas stamp to repeat stamp the background. I then drew the snowflake using the Uniko Ink & Flip Snowflake stencil and coloured the background to highlight the snowflake in the centre. I went on to create a second card in this style to see what it looked like if some of the background were darkened.

The sentiment on both cards comes from the Uniko Christmas Sentiments stamp set. I can't decide which I prefer, how about you?

There is of course lots of brilliant inspiration over on the Uniko blog and the Brand Ambassadors blogs, so make sure you have a hop over there to check it out. Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the sneak peeks of two new Uniko Ink & Flip stencils!

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.
