Thank You 🥰 & Last Few Hours!

Hello March & Happy Sunday Evening! 

I wanted to pop by and say Thank you for celebrating with Uniko. 

I am simply blown away by the overwhelming response to the Uniko 13th Birthday February Release this weekend 🥰 Clearly I didn't anticipate so many wonderful orders, that not only did the FREE Stencil - Geometric Happy Birthday get snapped up on Friday, there are a number of sellouts. 

Don't panic, I will be getting a restock of the Free Stencil along with the Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms this week, along with some requested restocks, and I should have them by Friday 7th March. 

*Please Note* Any order placed after 11pm Friday 28th Feb there will be a slight delay in shipping your order, as I don't want you to miss out on the free gift. My sincere apologies for the inconvenience and my oversight on not ordering enough 🥴

Clear stamp set restocks will take a little longer, I will update as soon as I have an expected date. Thank you for those who have signed up for the Notify Me When Back In Stock, I will be ordering items with most requests along with the new release sellouts. 

There is still time to hop and comment along our traditional Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway, so be sure to join in HERE.

AND There Is Still Time To...

Take advantage of FREE Shipping on all orders of £40 or more. Normally this is £60 for UK and £70 for International. This expires at midnight GMT tonight. 

How about a little inspiration I didn't get round to adding to my post on Friday and to end my post a little sweeter. I know that both of this have flown off the shelves and are currently sold out, but I didn't have anything else finished to photograph earlier.

First up is the Layering Organic Blooms panel I stencilled during my YT video HERE. I know I wasn't totally happy with the colour combination, but it has grown on me a little since. 

I decided to trim the panel down to 10 x 13.5 cm and adhered it to a 10.5 x 14cm card base. I added a simple 'Thank You' from Everyday Sentiments and a few C9 Sorbet Enamel Dots.

Next up is the images I stamped from Organic Blooms and coloured using the stencils, which I also demoed during my video. 

For this card I fussy cut the images out, adhering the stems direct to my card panel and the blooms with foam adhesive. I used the same sentiment and a trio of Buttercup Enamel Dots to finish.

Thank you again for all your lovely orders and support, I truly appreciate each and every one of you ♥️

Celebrating 13 Years - New Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway

 Happy Friday 🎉

We made it to the end of the month and what a month it has been. So much creative inspiration and fun, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. And I don't think there is a better way to end a month, than with a New Release! 

I hope you have enjoyed the introductions of all of the products this past week, the Brand Ambassadors have done a fabulous job of showcasing them. We have more inspiration to share with you in our traditional release day blog hop. 

But before we get to that and you rush off to purchase the new goodies HERE, let me formally introduce them to you.

First up we have Alphabet Solid. 

This stamp set is like the peas that compliment the carrots in crafting alphabet form! It works wonderfully on its own or pair it with Alphabet Outlined for a fun combination. The font also matches the ones used in stamp sets in the Sentiment Outlined Collection.

I'm delighted to bring back Bright Butterflies clear stamp set from retirement. Originally released in February 2013, it has stood the test of time and pairs wonderfully with so many Uniko stamps.

Or, why not pair the Bright Butterflies with the new Stencil - Layering Bright Butterflies? This layering stencil is so much fun and has lots of creative potential.

I'm loving layering stencils and this Scandinavian inspired floral and foliage 4 layer stencil is up there as a favourite. The stencil is drawn in my signature style and I am sure it'll pair wonderfully with lots from the Organic Collection.

This is what the stencil looks like complete...

I'm finally jumping on the bandwagon of designing stamps to pair and compliment stencils. Organic Blooms clear stamp set is designed to be used on its own or combine with the Layering - Organic Blooms Stencil for even more creative possibilities and even quick colouring option!

Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms and Organic Bloom Clear Stamps

Hello & Happy Wednesday! 

Welcome to day 4 of the Uniko 13th Birthday February Release introductions. Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are Introducing Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms and Organic Bloom Clear Stamps. 

I've fallen in love with designing layering stencils!! 

This time I couldn't resist adding an option of using a coordinating clear stamp set. Both products can be used on their own or paired together for even more options. 

Along with the designs being drawn in my organic style seen in clear stamps such as Originally Organic and Originally Organic Additions. The products have an element taken from the Papercraft Society Box I designed for CraftStash. Plus they have a lovely Scandinavian look to them.

Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing Alphabet Solid and Background Blocks Waves

Hello & Happy Tuesday! 

Welcome to day 3 of the Uniko 13th Birthday February Release introductions. Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are Introducing Alphabet Solid and Background Blocks Waves. 

I originally intended to release Alphabet Solid the same time as the previously released Alphabet Outlined back in February 2020, but I changed my mind last minute and shelved it. I decided now was the time for it to be released. 

And well, you know me I love a Background Block and a stripy one at that, so a wave design it had to be! 

Let's have a look at these two products in action.

I love seeing the creative ways alphabet stamps are used, they are such a great staple to have on hand for personalised cards. And I'm excited to see even more creative pairings with the Background Blocks Waves. The Brand Ambassadors showcased it wonderfully.

Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing Stencil Layering Bright Butterflies & Re-introducing Bright Butterflies Clear Stamps

Hello & Happy Monday! 

Welcome to day 2 of the Uniko 13th Birthday February Release introductions. Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are Introducing Stencil Layering Bright Butterflies & Re-introducing Bright Butterflies Clear Stamps.

I had an idea for a layering butterfly stencil, but I was thinking of shapes of butterfly and that got me thinking back to the original Bright Butterflies Clear Stamps originally released back in February 2013. I loved these butterflies and their shapes, so I thought I would super size them and add some more details in the layering options. 

So that got me to thinking of how much I loved creating with these cute butterflies, so decided I would re-release those along with this fun layering stencil.

Let's have a look at these in action.

I've literally butterflies with all this wonderful inspiration and I hope you like these new and returning additions to the Uniko line up as much as I do! 

Until tomorrow, Crafty Hugs
