Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025 - Number 10

Hello & Happy Tuesday. 

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 10 is Bauhaus Blocks





I was delighted to see this clear stamp set in the top 25, so I couldn't resist making a couple of new cards in a video. You can watch this HERE on the Uniko YouTube Channel. I also share my insights into using the Taylored Expressions Magnetic Glass Board and the NEW Misti Light. Both are available from Dies To Die For.





As it's Tuesday, I have two cards to share. 




Let's have a closer look at the first card.




For this first card I stamp the blocks on an angle in opposing corners. I like to do things in threes or odd numbers, I find it pleasing to the eye.




I used a trio of Stampin' Blends to colour various parts of each of the blocks, in Light Summer Splash, Light Pumpkin Pie and Light Strawberry Slush. Once I stamped the sentiment I adhered the panel to my card using foam adhesive.




For my second card I went for a slightly longer card than I usually use, 10.5 x 15cm. I stamped all five blocks from the stamp set, coloured and then fussy cut them. Next I adhered the blocks using foam adhesive and added the thank you sentiment, also from the set. 




I hope these new ideas inspire you.

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!

Mid Century Modern Baubles & Introducing MCM Baubles Stencil & Mask Inspiration Week

Hello & Happy Monday. 

Today I am kicking off a Mid Century Modern Baubles Inspiration Week, to also introduce a NEW addition Mid Century Modern Baubles Stencil & Mask, to use with or even without the stamp set. This new stencil will be available to purchase on Saturday 29th November. 

Mid Century Modern Baubles was release back in July / August 2023 and has been a firm favourite for all those who love, like me, the Mid Century Modern theme. 

Here are a couple of my favourites I made back when the stamps were released.






When I designed this stamp set, I also designed a stencil & mask to go along side it. However, at the time I thought it was too 'simple' and not necessary. 

Since then I have had LOTS of requests to bring a stencil out that makes colouring these baubles a breeze. Especially useful for those who like ink blending like myself. 

So I introduce you to the Mid Century Modern Baubles Stencil & Mask. 




And of course I have some inspiration to share with you today using this new addition.




For my first card I wanted to achieve a similar look to the first card above. I started with the Mid Century Modern Baubles Stencil and inked the larger bauble, first with Poppy to the middle of the bauble, then with Cranberry to the outer edges.




I then stamped the black details from the Mid Century Modern Baubles clear stamp set, finally adding a bow stamped in Sunflower ink, fussy cut and adhered using glue. I topped it off with a gold embellishment.

Next up today I wanted to show how you can use the stencil and mask to add colour to the stamped baubles.




For this card I started by stamping the bauble on the left. I then used the coordinating stencil shape to ink through using Grapefruit ink. I then used the corresponding mask to mask this bauble to stamp the bauble behind. I kept the mask in place and then coloured the second bauble with Aqua Sky ink. 

Next I stamped the details of the baubles. Again, I kept the bauble mask in place on the left bauble and stamped the solid circle shape with Oceanside and the burst detail in Peacock.

For the bauble on the left I used Sorbet and Cayenne respectively.




Lastly I finished with bows stamped in Cayenne and Peacock, which I fussy cut before adhering and adding a gold embellishment. The sentiment is another from the stamp set.

These two cards barely scratch the surface of the creative possibilities this stencil has and as I am only releasing this one stencil, I thought it would be fun to have a Brand Ambassador inspiration week, leading up to the release of the stencil & mask on Saturday 29th November 9am GMT. Where we will have a traditional Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway. 

Be sure to pop by tomorrow for more inspiration from myself and Anita.
