Introducing... Background Blocks Bauhaus

Happy Wednesday.

Welcome to day 2 of the Uniko August 2025 Release product introductions. Today we have another product with a retro vibe. Although Bauhaus was a design style and movement of it's own, it does fit into the same period of time and work well with the Mid Century Modern style.

So today we get to introduce you to Background Blocks Bauhaus. Perfect for an instant focal image, but this will work wonderfully with any of the Bauhaus inspired and Mid Century Modern products.

Let's see what the Brand Ambassadors have created.

How fun is this stamp? A so many beautiful makes from the Brand Ambassadors. I'm excited to use this stamp more and see more from the Brand Ambassadors over the coming days and weeks. It's always difficult to show a products full potential in one blog post!

See you tomorrow for day 3.

August 2025 - Sneak Peeks

Hello & Happy Monday!

Here at Uniko we are kicking off a new week with MORE Sneak Peeks for another mini New Release! So I don't normally do two product releases so close together, but as I will be on vacation for two and a bit weeks in September, I simply couldn't wait until late September to bring you these new products! They really are that good.

So let's get to the sneak peeks 😃

If you LOVE Uniko's Mid Century Modern & Bauhaus style products, these first three peeks will be right up your street!

They are fantastic on their own, but combined with the previously release products they are going to up level and bring fresh and exciting creative possibilities.

This first peek is of a fun Background Builder stamp set with lots of fun Mid Century Modern elements.

The next peek is of a fun Background Block, you know I love a good instant pattern!

You might recognise the pattern in this next peek from a previously released and popular stencil design. This is the stamp version.

Next we have a basic pattern, but one I think has been missing from the Uniko product line up for a while.

The next peek is of a new layering stencil and if you love anything retro, this is a must have!

And lastly, but by no means least I have another Ink & Flip Pattern Stencil with a retro twist too.

That wraps up the peeks and I am sure there will be something for everyone. I do hope you will find time to join myself and most of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors from tomorrow as we start the introductions.

All these products will be available at 9am BST Sunday 10th August 2025.

Spring/Summer 2025 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hey & Happy Friday!

I'm super happy you have stopped by today, Uniko is yet again honoured to be invited by the lovely Amy from Tsuruta Designs and proudly sponsoring the 2025 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Hopefully you have hopped on over from HERE, but if you missed the start or get lost along the way, be sure to go to start at the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog.

Today, myself and some of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are joining in and we've created some Uniko coffee and tea inspiration to share with you.

Be sure to hop along the links below and leave a comment to be in the chance to win a £25 eGift Certificate to spend at Uniko. Comments need to be left by 2pm BST Friday 30th May 2025 to be in the chance of being randomly selected as the winner. The winner will be announced Monday 2nd June 2025 here on the Uniko blogspot blog.

Let's have a look at the inspiration.

I couldn't resist pairing the Stencil - Layering Spring Blossom with the I LOVE Coffee cup and friends sentiment from the set. I was channelling coffee vibes and used a trio of browns to ink the 3 layers of the stencil.

I had to add a little splash of spring colour and decided to add a little cluster of spring blooms from Originally Organic Flower Garden, that I coloured using alcohol markers.

And here are the links to the Uniko Brand Ambassadors for even more inspiration.

January 2025 Release - Introducing... Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Gem AND Sparkle Sentiments Clear Stamp Set

Happy New Year!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Uniko January 2025 Release product introductions. Today we are ringing in the New Year with bling!

I am so excited to be starting the New Year with new products and I chose these two products, Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Gem AND Sparkle Sentiments today as I think they can be used for New Year cards and of course, so many more occasions.

A while ago I was asked by the editor of Simply Cards & Papercrafts magazine if I had any new Ink & Flip Stencil designs in the works. And this was one of them and while I was planning my cards for the feature in the magazine (available later this week in the shops), I felt it needed some accompanying sentiments. This inspired the Sparkle Sentiments clear stamp set.

Enough talk, let's have a look at these in action...

Bev

I hope you love this stencil as much as I do AND as it is New Year's Day, I'll be giving one set of the stencils away to one lucky comment left on any of the blog posts & or across Uniko's social media posts to win this stencil set.

Happy hopping & see you in 2025!

June 2024 Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Happy Weekend & HAPPY NEW RELEASE DAY.

I'm so glad you have stopped by the blog today as today is the day ALL the products myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors have been showcasing this week are now available HERE on the BRAND NEW Uniko website.

Yes, that's correct!

The long awaited and much anticipated fresh Uniko website is finally here. It's been a learning curve for me as we've transferred over to a new and more efficient platform, unfortunately it wasn't possible to transfer account details over, my apologies for that. If you've already been over and registered an account on the new site this week, thank you.

I am still working on adding some of the pretty details and fancy features. The focus has been on functionality and accessibility. I will keep you informed of new features as and when they are added.

Last little bit of website news, I will have access to the old platform for one more week. If you require a screenshot of your purchase history, drop me an email and I can do that for you. This is the only information I am able to access before the website is gone forever.

Ok, now let's get to the FUN and formally introduce the new products.

First up we have the next stencil in the Ink & Flip line up. This time I have gone for a geometric hexagon and again I have gone for the two layer option giving more creative possibilities.

Stencil - Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Hexagon £8

www.uniko.co.uk

Next up we have a BEEautiful addition to the Flower Power Collection. I can't wait to see all the mix and matches with the previously released Flower Power sets.

As you can see this stamp set features two hexagon flowers that can be used on their own, but they can be layered up too. There is a little bitty bee that is the same, but smaller version than the one in Bee Happy. You get the usual stem and leaves with a fun hexagon in fill and this can be die cut using the same leaf and stem die from the Designer Dies Flower Power 1 - 6 Collection. There are 2 separate leaves and 4 sentiment options.

As the font is the same as all the other Flower Power clear stamp sets there will be lots more sentiment options to Buzz By and Say!

Flower Power #9 £6.50

www.uniko.co.uk

Next we have a fun addition to the Background Blocks Collection. Another FUN stripe design and one that has lots of creative possibilities. I can't wait to see what you all do with this one!

Background Blocks Offset Stripes £6.50

Lastly, but by no means least we have a fun Mid Century Modern inspired addition to the Flower Power Collection. In this I have added two different kinds of single leaves and the sentiments are all bloom inspired.

Flower Power #10 £6.50

www.uniko.co.uk

Now I have formally introduced the newness, let's have a look at some more inspiration using them...

What an amazing hop to round off this release. I'm sure you will agree with me that the Brand Ambassadors have done an amazing job this week at showcasing all the new products.

To win the entire release, simply leave a comment along the hop before midnight Sunday 7th July 2024 and I will randomly select a winner.

Along with the new release, a bunch of requested restocks arrived in the studio this week. These include, Background Blocks Doodle Flower, Background Blocks MOD Builder, Birthday Sentiments, Birthday Wishes, Simply Said Blocks, Simply Said Blocks III, Stencil - MOD Background Builder Circles, Stencil - Flower Power #1 and Stencil - Pure Florals Gerbera.

Two Ways With Background Builders Round In Circles

Happy Weekend.

And Happy Bank Holiday weekend to those in the UK, I hope some of you are enjoying some sunshine, it's been rather grey, wet and dismal here in the North East 😒 Though, at least I feel like I've not missed it with being poorly (again). Seriously, my immune system is rubbish and even more so when the boys bring the bugs home from school, hence my quietness this week.

Anyway, I'm slowly getting better after lots of rest and sleep. I actually found some energy to finish these two cards I started a few days ago.

I've said it so many times, but restocks always inspire me to create, especially when they've been out of stock for a while like Background Builders: Round In Circles.

Do you ever have moments where you think your creativity might run out? That you'll be unable to think of something 'new' to create using a much loved stamp set, stencil or die? I do, quite often, but then I end up surprising myself like I did with this duo!

I started by using the open dot builder strip to stamp the background. I then crazily spent ages colouring the dots in a rainbow of colours! It was super time consuming, but I think the end result was worth it.

I then die cut the 3 circles before adhering to my Pebble base card, stamping the circle designs inside and adding the sentiment from Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments.

With the background taking so long, I couldn't let the die cut circles go to waste, so I created a second card using them.

I placed the die cuts exactly onto my card base as they were die cut from my first card by using the above panel as a template before I adhered it onto my first card.

I love many things about clear stamps, one of those things is the ability to shape the longer stamps. Just like I did with this one. Again I added a sentiment from the Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments.

I'm delighted this clear stamp set, along with a whole host of others are back in stock. Though a few of Uniko's newer and most popular designs have sold out already at the shows! Restocks shouldn't be too long.

Anyway, that's all I have today.

October 2023 NEW Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hello, Happy Saturday, Happy World Card Making Day AND Happy New Release Day!

Wow! Could the weekend be any better?

I hope you have enjoyed my introductions this week and I'm super excited to share these new products with you. They will be available to purchase at 9pm BST tonight HERE on the website.

But, let me first formally introduce them.

First we have the next addition to the BIG & BOLD series with BIG & BOLD thank/s/ful. This set is super versatile, making two large sentiments. But you can make a third when you pair it with BIG & BOLD You.

The set also features a two step leaf in both solid and outline form along with a variety of accent sentiments.

BIG & BOLD thank/s/ful £11

www.uniko.co.uk

Next we have Autumn Serenade.

Autumn Serenade £11

www.uniko.co.uk

The large swirling stamp has been calling for this autumnal look for a while now and linking it to BIG & BOLD thank/s/ful with the same leaf image makes it even more versatile. Like other clear stamp sets in the Serenade series, it features mix and match sentiments, along with lots of fun accent stamps.

Keeping with an autumnal seasonal feel and upcoming Armistice Day I am delighted to add Uniko's version of poppies to the floral line up. Though it has lots more creative potential.

Remembrance £11

www.uniko.co.uk

Lastly, but by no means least we have the next addition to the Framed Series with Framed - Snowflakes. It was time to add more snowflakes to the Uniko line up and I think this makes the perfect addition.

Framed - Snowflakes £11

And now we have the formal introductions done, let's get to more inspiration using them. Be sure to leave some comments love either on their blogs or social media. You have until midnight Saturday 14th October 2023 to comment and then I will be randomly selecting a winner to win the entire release.
