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.

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

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!

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.

June 2024 Release Sneak Peeks

Hello & Happy Monday.

I never used to love Monday's, but since I've gotten older, I love the freshness of a new week and I love them even more so when I start the week with some NEW Release Sneak Peeks! 

It's a fairly small release this month, but one that packs a punch and also breathes new life into some older and much loved Uniko products.

Let's have a look...

First up is a peek at another of Uniko's unique and innovative Ink & Flip Stencils. This new addition is just as fun as the previously released designs and I can also see it being used with previously released ones as well as so many other Uniko images and sentiments.

Next up is a sweet addition to the Flower Power series of clear stamps.

I think this one might cause a BUZZ and keep you busy as you not only create with this new clear stamp set, but have fun pairing it with others in the Uniko product line.

You know I love a stripe and you probably thought there were no more ways stripes could be done! But I think this one will be a fun addition to your crafting stash...

And lastly, but by no means least for this release I have another fun Flower Power addition. For me this one has a bit of a Mid Century Modern / Organic style to it.

So there you have them, the four peeks of this June Release. Tomorrow, myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors will be here with the first of the inspiration posts.

I'm so excited for you to see these products in action. I do hope you will stop by and join in on the fun. All the newness will be available for purchase Saturday 29th June at 9am BST. 

Thank you for stopping by today.

Friday Focus - Flower Power #5 - #8

Hello & Happy Friday.

Today I am back with another Friday Focus and continuing with the Flower Power Series. If you missed last week you can catch up HERE. 

This week my focus is on Flower Power #5 - #8 seen in the picture below...

And now let's see the new inspiration I've created.

Starting with Flower Power #5, which to me is like a modern and graphic poppy. I went for a duo of peach colours, Grapefruit and Sorbet paired with black making for a striking card.

I decided not to mask the flowers and let them overlap each other. I did however mask my border and then stamped one of the Background Builders Classics strips. My sentiment choice for this card is from Flower Power #6.

This leads me nicely onto Flower Power #6, a beautiful modern 2 step stamping rose. I am super excited that our Birthday Wishes clear stamp set is coming back in stock next week (Tuesday) and so I decided to pair the roses with one of my favourite sentiments from the set.

For the solid layer of the rose I used Ballet Slipper and the detail petals layer I used my favourite Honeysuckle. I did a little masking for the leaves and to layer the bottom two roses. But I let them overlap the sentiment.

My third card for today features the modern daisy flower from Flower Power #7 and I was reminiscing about making daisy chains as a child for this card! 

We're being treated to some wonderful sunshine and hot weather, so my colours reflected this with my choice of Honeysuckle, Buttercup and Oceanside. My sentiment choice is from Flower Power #5 which has a thank you theme.

Lastly, but no means least I have this cute design using Flower Power #8. I actually made this card quite a while ago, but forgot about it until it popped up in my photo memories! 

I love the Flower Power flowers for making clusters of flowers like I have here and even though Flower Power #8 doesn't (currently) have dies to match, this one is fairly easy to fussy cut. You could also use your scan and cut.

I finished the card with the Happy Birthday sentiment from Floral Vines and added enamel dots to the flower centres. 

I've absolutely loved these past two weeks, inking up these clear stamps and playing with different combinations and pairings. AND I can't wait to show you what's coming! I hope you will join us for the usual Uniko Countdown to Release fun.

I hope you've enjoyed this as much as I have and thank you for stopping by today.
