June 2015 Design Team Blog Hop, GIVEAWAY & NEWS!

* This is my 2nd post for the day, for my TIME OUT Challenges card please click HERE*


Hey!

I'm SO happy you've stopped by the blog today as today is the June 2015 Design Team Blog Hop. Along with the hop and giveaway, I am also sharing lots of NEWS!! So be sure to grab a drink, get comfy, relax and enjoy!

As we've quite a few new followers here, ("Hello & Thank you") I will explain what's going on! Here at Uniko I currently only release new products every other month. This is for a number of reasons, firstly, being an avid paper crafter myself and knowing the current economic climate I know 'some' are on a limited budget when it comes to buying new stash, so this way you're not tempted to splurge too much every month.

The second reason is that it is just me here at Uniko HQ. I currently run this little business single handedly, designing, blogging, demoing, classes, packing. Alongside that I am a full time mum to 9 month old twin boys! So releasing every other month gives me chance to keep my head above water, well...just about!

So, on the in-between release months the Design Team & I take a look back at a previously released product, dust it off and give it some love! This month I decided to dust off the previously released Pure Florals: Gerbera...




Along with this set being the TOP selling product here at Uniko ;) I thought it would be nice for some lovely Summer floral cards (though this is the kind of flower that can be used all year round too.

Here are a couple of my 'old faves' using the set...






Unfortunately I haven't had time to create a new project due to reasons below, but I know the DT will make up for my tardiness!


Before I get to the Design Team Blog Hop, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the newest member of the Design Team. I am super honoured and happy to introduce you to...

Jane Taylor from Purplejet Loves Crafts




Now for some AWESOME projects from the Design Team using Pure Florals: Gerbera. The GIVEAWAY... Simply comment along the hop for your chance to win the featured set or a eGift Certificate code to the same value if you already own the set.

So, that's not ALL for today! You may have noticed a few updates here on the Uniko blog over the past week or so. I've been working hard behind the scenes with the help of my husband on a little rebranding of the company and a NEW website design with LOTS of NEW features. The new website will go LIVE at this SUNDAY 14th June 2015 (Fingers, toes & everything crossed!)

We have 7 stamp set RESTOCKS (available now on the current website) including Always & Forever, Balloon Bash, Background Builders: Squared, English Country Garden Butterflies, Flower Power #5 and #6 and Simply Said Birthday.

PHEW! I think that is all I have to share with you today, please bear with me whilst I iron out any kinks with the new website. I will also be sharing more information on the new product packaging over the next day or so and other bits & pieces too!

THANK YOU so much for stopping by today and your continued support and custom which makes my little dream and business stay alive.
