Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025 - Number 9

Happy Wonderful Wednesday.

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 9 is Mid Century Modern Florals. 

It warms my heart to see this stamp set in the top 25, let alone the top 10. Especially when this stamp set originally debuted in May 2019!

Here are a few of my favourite makes using this set.

And today I have shared a quick YouTube short HERE showing how I stamped six floral ideas using this stamp set. 

Along with flowers, this stamp set has so much more potential with the fun graphic shapes. It's just a case of letting your creativity take control.

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.15 - 11

Happy Festive Friday.

Welcome back to this months fun feature on the blog, Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025. If you've missed the first few posts you can catch up HERE, HERE and HERE. 

Today I am sharing products no. 15 - 11.

Coming in at number 15 is the Stencil - Mid Century Modern. 

It's been ages since I inked up this stencil, so I gave it some fresh inky love. And my card was was inspired by this image I came across on Pinterest.

It took quite a bit of masking to achieve a similar look, but I really love how this turned out. I inked all the lines with Parsely.

Then I added the Christmas tree pot using the stamp from Pattern Building Christmas Tree and the sentiment from Simply Said II. To finish I added some enamel dots.

Next is the Stencil - MOD Background Builder Circles coming in at number 14.

And here are a couple of my favourite makes using it.

First up is this fun, bright and cheerful card pairing the stencil with Mid Century Modern Purrfect Day. I love using it as as a backdrop to the focal point.

And this second card shows the stencil used with its Background Block MOD Circle Builder counterpart. I love this offset look.

Coming in at lucky number 13 is Background Blocks MOD Builder.

And here are a few of my favourite makes.

Uniko stencils have been really popular this year, as coming in at number 12 is the Stencil - Ink & Flip Diamonds.

And here is my favourite card I've made using this ink & flip.

Lastly for today is Background Blocks Waves which comes in at number 11.

And two of my favourite makes using the stamp, as I couldn't choose just one! 

That's all from me today, thank you for joining me.

BA Inspiration -

Evening all Julie here with a little bit of BA Inspiration. Have you got all your Christmas cards made and posted? I hope I have but I do have a few spare just in case.

If you've been really organised and made and sent your Christmas cards, how about an idea for a quick New Year card? 

On an A6 top fold, white note card, I stamped the Background Blocks- Party Confetti in Versamark and embossed with jewelled gold EP. On a separate panel of white, I used the numerals from the Alphabet Solid set to create the 2026 in more of the jewelled gold EP. This was mounted on a slightly larger black one then added over my confetti with foam pads. A simple sentiment from Simply Said Blocks Christmas in black completes.

A very simple design that you could ring the changes with by using gold on black or perhaps silver on black. How about replacing the year with HB2U for a simple birthday card, the possibilities are endless!

Anyway that's it from me for the moment, hope you have a fab Christmas and KEEP CRAFTING!!

Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025 No.16

Happy Wonderful Wednesday.

I'm back today with number 16 of Uniko's Top 25 of 2025. And coming in at number 16 is Christmas Pop. This one was a complete surprise, especially as this was a re-introduction with this stamp set returning from retirement! 

Here are a few of my older favourite makes.

And because I am still needing Christmas cards, I gave the stamps some fresh inky love and created some new inspiration using it.

I chose a rainbow of cheerful colours on this grey December day! I started by stamping the solid Parsley tree in the middle and then worked my way outwards on both sides. 

My sentiment is from Christmas Sentiments and I decided to add the wording layer to the middle tree using Evergreen. A simple card, but I love how it turned out.

That's all from me today, thank you for joining me.

Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025 No.20 - 17

Happy Monday!

Welcome back to this months fun feature on the blog, Uniko's Top 25 Products of 2025. If you missed my first post sharing products 25 - 21, you can catch up HERE. 

Let's have a look at what product came in at number 20, Stencil - Layering Flower Fusion.

I was pleased to see this stencil in the top 25, mainly so I had an excuse to ink it up again! Here's my new inspiration using this 4 layered stencil.

As I am still in need of Christmas cards, I added a festive spin to this new card. I used four colours that haven't left my desk for this series and added in Oceanside and Peacock.

I have a YouTube short HERE, showing the making process of this card. My sentiment choice is from Christmas Sentiments, which hasn't left my desk either! 

Next up is number 19 and although I love butterflies, I was surprised to see Butterfly Serenade being in the top 25. 

And this has to be one of my favourite makes using this stamp set. 

I love maximising those individual stamps to create impact and of course, rainbow colours. So this card was a given to be a favourite make. 

Without giving too much away, you will be seeing more of this stamp set in 2026! 

Coming in at number 18 is the Stencil - Geometric Happy Birthday. 

This one didn't surprise me as this stencil has pretty much sold out instantly as soon as it's back in stock! I know there are lots of geometric lovers like me out there and of course, this stencil is perfect for those masculine makes.

Here is one of my favourite makes.

Lastly for today and coming in at number 17 is Originally Organic Flower Garden. 

It was a delight to see this stamp set in the top 25, as it is definitely one of my favourites and I have so many favourite makes using it! 

This card has caught lots of attention at shows this year.

Again, a card showing how a small accent stamp can create impact, especially with the use of rainbow colours! 

And a bonus is that this card created a twofer. So it is only right I give limelight to the second card I made from this one as well! 

That's all from me today, thank you for joining me.
