Uniko Ink and Flip Stencils

*This post contains affiliate links to Simon Says Stamp.

I've been eyeing the Ink and Flip stencils from Uniko for a while now.  Bev recently had a sale, and I jumped at the chance to pick up a couple.  I got the Christmas Star and Snowflake stencils.  Just as the name suggests, you create the patterns by inking, turning, and also flipping the stencils.

These are SO easy to work with, you can definitely mass produce a bunch of cards in a hurry.

For each of the stencils, I used just two colors:  Sky and Dusk for the Snowflake card, and Carnation and Peony for the Christmas Star card.  To mix things up a little bit, with the Christmas Star stencil I did not flip/rotate exactly, I did it a bit offset because I like the extra motion/layering you get when you do that.  There are some great samples on the Uniko website where folks selectively inked the areas to create rainbow cards, but I went simple and easy this go round.

Finishing off the panels was really easy as well.  For the snowflake, I used sentiments from the Holiday Messages set inked in Versa Clair black.

For the Christmas Star, I die cut the Merry & Bright sentiment twice from white cardstock and once from Champagne Matte.  These were adhered together and then directly to my card panel.  I also added a few Trinity Stamps Boiled Sugar embellishments.

Can't wait to ink these up again! 

Just a Note

Another quick post/card using one of my favorite techniques - generational stamping.

I'm using stamps from Uniko Studio.  For the top part I just randomly stamped the circle image in first and second generation rotating the stamp between generations.

It's a really quick one layer card and you could easily whip up a set of cards to give as a gift in very short order.

That's all for now - gotta scoot!  Hope your Christmas preparations are coming along!

Hello for Uniko Studio and Moxie Fab World Challenges

Very easy CAS card today.

I stamped that Hello sentiment, just love the size and font of it, with Memento black ink.  Then section, by section, I put some of the Webster's Pages Composition and Color washi over it used a kraft knife to cut around it, and then removed the excess.  It takes a while, but it's a really neat effect.

The panel looked a little stark, so I added some washi to the right and left of the sentiment.

Then I just alternated with a roll of washi I have in my stash to create the bottom border, and added a little black cardstock above and below the white panel for contrast.

I'm entering this in Uniko Studio's challenge to use washi as well as Moxie Fab World's Stickers and Tape challenge.

Hope you are having a great week!
