Spring/Summer 2025 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hey & Happy Friday!

I'm super happy you have stopped by today, Uniko is yet again honoured to be invited by the lovely Amy from Tsuruta Designs and proudly sponsoring the 2025 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop.

Hopefully you have hopped on over from HERE, but if you missed the start or get lost along the way, be sure to go to start at the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Blog.

Today, myself and some of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are joining in and we've created some Uniko coffee and tea inspiration to share with you.

Be sure to hop along the links below and leave a comment to be in the chance to win a £25 eGift Certificate to spend at Uniko. Comments need to be left by 2pm BST Friday 30th May 2025 to be in the chance of being randomly selected as the winner. The winner will be announced Monday 2nd June 2025 here on the Uniko blogspot blog.

Let's have a look at the inspiration.

I couldn't resist pairing the Stencil - Layering Spring Blossom with the I LOVE Coffee cup and friends sentiment from the set. I was channelling coffee vibes and used a trio of browns to ink the 3 layers of the stencil.

I had to add a little splash of spring colour and decided to add a little cluster of spring blooms from Originally Organic Flower Garden, that I coloured using alcohol markers.

And here are the links to the Uniko Brand Ambassadors for even more inspiration.

Thank you for hopping along with us here at Uniko, your next and final stop is HERE.

Introducing... Stencil - Layering Spring Blossom

Happy Weekend.

Welcome to the final product introduction for the April 2025 Release. Today we have another layering stencil, I told you I was obsessed!

This stencil is a three layer stencil called Layering Spring Blossom and the flower shaper coordinates with yesterday's product, Originally Organic Flower Garden clear stamp set. Though it can be used wonderfully on its own too.

Let's have a look at the stencil in action...

More pretty flowers to make me happy. I love seeing how the Brand Ambassadors are inspired to use the products. They so often think of things I don't!

Be sure to hop along and leave some comment love along the way, we appreciate them.

This stencil, along with all the products that have been introduced this week are available tomorrow at 9am BST Sunday 27th April on the website. I will also have them with me at Crafterama Lincoln. Plus, we will have our traditional Release Day Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway.

Happy Hopping & Crafty Hugs

Introducing... Stencil - Layering Flower Fusion

Hello & Happy Wednesday.

Welcome to day 2 of the April 2025 product introductions. If you missed the sneak peeks or day 1 introduction, you can catch up HERE and HERE.

I've been on a layering stencil kick recently and totally in floral mode too. I dug through some of my archives and came across some florals I had yet to use, so came up with two floral layering stencils.

Todays Layering Flower Fusion is a fun 4 layer stencil, which I think you can have a lot of inky fun with. Let's have a look at it in action...

I love all the cheerful colours the Brand Ambassadors have used and the various techniques. Although to me this stencil instantly screams spring and summer, I think it will work all year round. Again, be sure to hop along to see the inspiration from the team and leave some comment love.

This stencil, along with all the products being introduced this week are available at 9am BST Sunday 27th April on the website. I will also have them with me at Crafterama Lincoln.

March 2025 Non-Release Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Welcome to the March 2024 Non-Release Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

It's been a while, mainly because of so many recent new releases. But to fill in for the months where I need a beat to catch up and give your bank balance a rest! It's time for a non release inspirational blog hop & giveaway.

For those of you who are new around these parts I will explain what this post is all about...

Here at Uniko HQ it is just myself behind the screen, blogging, designing, packaging stamps & orders through the Uniko online shop, customer service and all the things in between. I *usually* release new product every other month for a number of reasons, but mainly so I can keep up with everything!

On non - release months like this month I like to set myself and the Brand Ambassadors a challenge to look back at a previously released product and give it some more love. Plus, I think it's always nice to revisit older sets and provide more inspiration and not just from me.

So without further ado, lets see the product I decided upon for March.

Sunshine & Rainbows £11.50

Released in June 2022 I finally jumped on the rainbow bandwagon and released my version of a building rainbow stamp set. Not only is this stamp set perfect for up coming spring, but all year round sending hope and cheer.

The set works wonderfully independently, but with so many new products since it was released there are so many creative possibilities and pairings.

Let's have a look and see what the Brand Ambassadors have created. Don't forget to comment along the hop for your chance to win a £25 eGift code to spend in store.

Such a cheerful and colourful hop. You know that I love a rainbow and rainbow colours, so this has set up my Tuesday well for sure. I hope it has added cheer to your day.

I hope you left some comment love along the way, I will randomly select a comment to win the £25 eGift code on Monday 24th March 2025. So be sure to comment before then.

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.

Alphabet Solid Clear Stamp Set £16

Background Blocks Waves.

Yes, I have more stripes to add to this growing collection of instant backgrounds. This one is sure to compliment many images in your stamping 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.

Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms £13.75

This is what the stencil looks like complete...

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!

Spring Botanicals is the long overdue fifth addition to the Spring Botanicals Collection. Drawn in the same style and sentiments in the same fun font combination, you're sure to enjoy this one if you like florals.
