Celebrating 13 Years - New Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway


 Happy Friday 🎉

We made it to the end of the month and what a month it has been. So much creative inspiration and fun, I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. And I don't think there is a better way to end a month, than with a New Release! 

I hope you have enjoyed the introductions of all of the products this past week, the Brand Ambassadors have done a fabulous job of showcasing them. We have more inspiration to share with you in our traditional release day blog hop. 

But before we get to that and you rush off to purchase the new goodies HERE, let me formally introduce them to you.

First up we have Alphabet Solid. 

This stamp set is like the peas that compliment the carrots in crafting alphabet form! It works wonderfully on its own or pair it with Alphabet Outlined for a fun combination. The font also matches the ones used in stamp sets in the Sentiment Outlined Collection.

I'm delighted to bring back Bright Butterflies clear stamp set from retirement. Originally released in February 2013, it has stood the test of time and pairs wonderfully with so many Uniko stamps.

Or, why not pair the Bright Butterflies with the new Stencil - Layering Bright Butterflies? This layering stencil is so much fun and has lots of creative potential.

I'm loving layering stencils and this Scandinavian inspired floral and foliage 4 layer stencil is up there as a favourite. The stencil is drawn in my signature style and I am sure it'll pair wonderfully with lots from the Organic Collection.

I'm finally jumping on the bandwagon of designing stamps to pair and compliment stencils. Organic Blooms clear stamp set is designed to be used on its own or combine with the Layering - Organic Blooms Stencil for even more creative possibilities and even quick colouring option!

Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms and Organic Bloom Clear Stamps


Hello & Happy Wednesday! 

Welcome to day 4 of the Uniko 13th Birthday February Release introductions. Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are Introducing Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms and Organic Bloom Clear Stamps. 

I've fallen in love with designing layering stencils!! 

This time I couldn't resist adding an option of using a coordinating clear stamp set. Both products can be used on their own or paired together for even more options. 

Along with the designs being drawn in my organic style seen in clear stamps such as Originally Organic and Originally Organic Additions. The products have an element taken from the Papercraft Society Box I designed for CraftStash. Plus they have a lovely Scandinavian look to them.

Let's have a look...

Until tomorrow, Crafty Hugs

Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing Alphabet Solid and Background Blocks Waves



Hello & Happy Tuesday! 

Welcome to day 3 of the Uniko 13th Birthday February Release introductions. Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are Introducing Alphabet Solid and Background Blocks Waves. 

I originally intended to release Alphabet Solid the same time as the previously released Alphabet Outlined back in February 2020, but I changed my mind last minute and shelved it. I decided now was the time for it to be released. 

And well, you know me I love a Background Block and a stripy one at that, so a wave design it had to be! 

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

I love seeing the creative ways alphabet stamps are used, they are such a great staple to have on hand for personalised cards. And I'm excited to see even more creative pairings with the Background Blocks Waves. The Brand Ambassadors showcased it wonderfully. 

Until tomorrow, Crafty Hugs

Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing Stencil Layering Bright Butterflies & Re-introducing Bright Butterflies Clear Stamps



Hello & Happy Monday! 

Welcome to day 2 of the Uniko 13th Birthday February Release introductions. Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are Introducing Stencil Layering Bright Butterflies & Re-introducing Bright Butterflies Clear Stamps.

I had an idea for a layering butterfly stencil, but I was thinking of shapes of butterfly and that got me thinking back to the original Bright Butterflies Clear Stamps originally released back in February 2013. I loved these butterflies and their shapes, so I thought I would super size them and add some more details in the layering options. 

So that got me to thinking of how much I loved creating with these cute butterflies, so decided I would re-release those along with this fun layering stencil.

Let's have a look at these in action.

I've literally butterflies with all this wonderful inspiration and I hope you like these new and returning additions to the Uniko line up as much as I do! 

Until tomorrow, Crafty Hugs
