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.

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!
