Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025 - Number 4

Happy Sunday.

I'm getting close to revealing the number one product of 2025, but today I have the number 4 top selling product of 2025 determined by sales. And that is Background Blocks Mid Century Modern.





Again, I am delighted to see this stamp in the top 25, especially when it was released way back in May 2019. 

I've been a bit slack on creating this past week or so, I've been caught up tidying and organising the studio. Plus purging lots of crafty stuff I've not used for a while. You can check out what I am selling over on my Vinted profile HERE

So, again today I am sharing some of my favourite makes using this stamp.





Just like many of the Background Blocks in the Uniko inventory, this one is perfect for those masculine makes. Use it as an instant focal point background stamped singly, or as an all over pattern like I have done on this first card. 

Here I have paired the background with the Stencil - Mid Century Modern Shapes and Alphabet Outlined.

The stamp is also fun to use in a more abstract way, like I have on these next two cards. Plus it is easily feminised with flowers, especially Mid Century Modern Florals.






This stamp isn't going anywhere and will be back as soon as possible. Plus, it is definitely on my list to ink up more next year and I am sure it will appear in a fun feature I have planned for 2026. 

I need your help in making some room on the shelves in the studio for restocks and newness coming in 2026. 

If you're not signed up to the Uniko Newsletter you might not have seen this BLOWOUT SALE! It's not one to be missed.





I'll be back tomorrow with number 3 of the top 25 of 2025.

Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025 - Number 7

Happy Sunday & Winter Solstice.

I'm back today with the next in the top 10 of Uniko's 25 Products of 2025. These have been determined by sales this year. Coming in at number 7 is the Stencil - Mid Century Modern Circles & Stars.





I was hoping to have something new to share, but unfortunately I've ba een a little poorly and out of action the last couple of days, so again I am sharing a few of my favourite makes using this stencil. 





When I designed this stencil I was thinking of a design suited to more masculine cards and projects, but also one that would enhance Mid Century Modern clear stamps like Mid Century Modern Frames and Mid Century Modern Birthday.




And of course it had to look good with florals too! 




I'm sure I will be inking this fun stencil up more in 2026! But for today, that's all I have to share.

Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025 - Number 9

Happy Wonderful Wednesday.

We're into the top 10 of Uniko's 25 Products of 2025. These have been determined by sales this year. Coming in at number 9 is Mid Century Modern Florals





It warms my heart to see this stamp set in the top 25, let alone the top 10. Especially when this stamp set originally debuted in May 2019!

Here are a few of my favourite makes using this set.











And today I have shared a quick YouTube short HERE showing how I stamped six floral ideas using this stamp set. 

Along with flowers, this stamp set has so much more potential with the fun graphic shapes. It's just a case of letting your creativity take control.

Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025 no.15 - 11

Happy Festive Friday.

Welcome back to this months fun feature on the blog, Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025. If you've missed the first few posts you can catch up HERE, HERE and HERE

Today I am sharing products no. 15 - 11.

Coming in at number 15 is the Stencil - Mid Century Modern





It's been ages since I inked up this stencil, so I gave it some fresh inky love. And my card was was inspired by this image I came across on Pinterest.




It took quite a bit of masking to achieve a similar look, but I really love how this turned out. I inked all the lines with Parsely.



Then I added the Christmas tree pot using the stamp from Pattern Building Christmas Tree and the sentiment from Simply Said II. To finish I added some enamel dots.




Next is the Stencil - MOD Background Builder Circles coming in at number 14.




And here are a couple of my favourite makes using it.




First up is this fun, bright and cheerful card pairing the stencil with Mid Century Modern Purrfect Day. I love using it as as a backdrop to the focal point.

And this second card shows the stencil used with its Background Block MOD Circle Builder counterpart. I love this offset look.




Coming in at lucky number 13 is Background Blocks MOD Builder.




And here are a few of my favourite makes.








Uniko stencils have been really popular this year, as coming in at number 12 is the Stencil - Ink & Flip Diamonds.




And here is my favourite card I've made using this ink & flip.




Lastly for today is Background Blocks Waves which comes in at number 11.




And two of my favourite makes using the stamp, as I couldn't choose just one! 






That's all from me today, thank you for joining me.

Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025 No.25 - 21

Hello & Happy Thursday. 

In years gone by I have done various things here on the blog during December, countdowns and giveaways. As I was browsing website reports, mainly to see what the most popular product has been in 2025. I thought it would be a fun little feature to share here on the blog, sharing some old inspiration and of course some new inspiration.

So welcome to Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025.

Today I am sharing numbers 25 - 21 and a mix of old and new inspiration. 

Coming in at number 25 is Background Builders: Round in Circles





Here is this stamp set in action.





And it just so happens I have chosen this previously made card as this week's Card Of The Week! All the products used to make this card are 15% off on the website until Monday 8th December 9am GMT.




Coming in at number 24 is the Stencil - Ink & Flip Mid Century Leaves




This is a favourite of mine, so I created something new to share with you. As we're on the countdown to Christmas, and I still need Christmas cards, I went for a festive look. 




I chose to ink the leaves in Clover and then Evergreen to create my background. I then embellished with a sentiment from Christmas Sentiments and the flower from Flower Power #10.




I think it looks cute dressed up all festive!

The next product coming in at number 23, which I was surprised at, I thought it would be higher up, is Background Blocks Merry Christmas Scramble




Again, this is a favourite of mine so I have created something new to share with you. I love keeping things clean and simple with this stamp, so went for this simple design.




I started by stamping the block in black ink and heat embossing with my favourite Stardust EP. I then used a selection of Stampin' Blends to colour the block before adhering to my card base using foam tape.




Next is number 22, again a product I was surprised to see so low down in the ranks. But on the other hand, I am pleased to see Background Builders Mid Century Modern in the top 25 of 2025.




And this card is one of my favourite makes using this set. 

 


I'll definitely be inking this one up again soon, as it is just so much fun and you can get really creative with it. 




Lastly for today and coming in at number 21 is the Stencil Ink & Flip Layering Flower. Again another favourite and one I am pleased to see in the top 25. 




And here is a new card using this stencil combo. As I've started a festive theme, I went for a festive look again.




I started with the background, inking in Clover and Evergreen. I then used the flower detail and inked in Poppy and Cranberry. 

My sentiment choice is from Simply Said Blocks Christmas and I added some sparkly rhinestones to finish.




That's all for today. I'd love to know your thoughts and what is your prediction as to what else is in the top 25 of 2025?

I'll be back in a few days to share numbers 20 - 16!
