January 2025 Release - Reintroducing... Background Builders Flower Power

Happy Weekend.

Welcome to the final day of product introductions for the Uniko January 2025 Release. Today we have a re-introduction, Background Builders Flower Power. 

This clear stamp set originally released in August 2013 and was one that was loved and popular. But like others, sometimes I make the tough decision to retire them to make room for newness. So why am I bringing it back? I hear you ask.

On Thursday we saw the penultimate addition to the Flower Power clear stamp collection being introduced and when designing it, I thought of how this series has grown and how some of the flowers are connected to this set I designed all those years ago.

So I thought I would bring it back for some fresh inky love and all the new creative pairings and possibilities. Before we get to the new inspiration from myself and the Brand Ambassadors, I thought it would be fun to see a few cards from its original release...

Now let's see it with new creative eyes...

So many fun pairings and techniques. I hope you are as delighted as I am that this clear stamp set is returning. 

This wraps up all of the new product introductions for this release, which means, tomorrow is the day you have all been waiting for... RELEASE DAY!

All of the products you've seen over the last week will be available at 9am GMT over on the Uniko website. I do hope though, that you will join myself and the Brand Ambassadors here on the blog for our traditional Release Day Blog Hop & Giveaway.

Until tomorrow.

January 2025 Release - Introducing... Ink & Flip Layering Flower Stencil AND Simply Said Blocks Occasions Clear Stamp Set

Happy Friday. 

Welcome to Day 4 of the Uniko January 2025 Release product introductions. Today I introduce to you another fun addition to the Uniko Ink & Flip Stencil series AND another super useful addition to the Simply Said Blocks clear stamp series.

I've been wanting to add a flower to the Ink & Flip line up and I played about with a few ideas, but then I was looking at Flower Power #8 and thought it would be fun to combine the two collections and this is what I came up with. Again, this new Ink & Flip is featured in the newest Simply Cards & Papercrafts magazine.

Simply Said Blocks Occasions inspiration came in October when I had no Uniko Halloween sentiments! It got me to thinking of occasions throughout the year and so this addition to the collection was created. 

Let's have a look at these in action on some cards...

I think you'll agree with me that both these new products have a lot of potential and use all year round. I also love creating products than can be combined with previously released ones for more creative options and breathe new life into them.

Thank you for joining us again today and I hope you will join us tomorrow for the final product re-introduction?

January 2025 Release - Introducing... Flower Power #11 and Stencil - Mid Century Modern Circle & Stars

Welcome to Day 3 of the Uniko January Release product introductions. 

I hope you are enjoying the release so far. Today we are introducing two more products, Flower Power #11 and Stencil - Mid Century Modern Stars & Circles. 

The Uniko Flower Power series is one I added to last year and it sparked my love for the collection again and also sparked inspiration to finish the collection. This is the penultimate one and one that has a spring feel to it, but also has an Art Deco feel to it. Also, like the other Flower Power clear stamp sets, this has a sentiment theme, for this one I chose a friendship. 

The Mid Century Modern Stars & Circles was a last minute addition to the release and one I couldn't keep to myself.

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

Such a fun hop with so much inspiration for all year round, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. That's all from us today, but we will be back tomorrow with even more to share.

January 2025 Release - Introducing... Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Gem AND Sparkle Sentiments Clear Stamp Set

Happy New Year!

Welcome to Day 2 of the Uniko January 2025 Release product introductions. Today we are ringing in the New Year with bling! 

I am so excited to be starting the New Year with new products and I chose these two products, Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Gem AND Sparkle Sentiments today as I think they can be used for New Year cards and of course, so many more occasions. 

A while ago I was asked by the editor of Simply Cards & Papercrafts magazine if I had any new Ink & Flip Stencil designs in the works. And this was one of them and while I was planning my cards for the feature in the magazine (available later this week in the shops), I felt it needed some accompanying sentiments. This inspired the Sparkle Sentiments clear stamp set. 

Enough talk, let's have a look at these in action...

I hope you love this stencil as much as I do AND as it is New Year's Day, I'll be giving one set of the stencils away to one lucky comment left on any of the blog posts & or across Uniko's social media posts to win this stencil set. 

Happy hopping & see you in 2025!
