Brand Ambassador Birthday Inspiration Cards!

 Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

Vinita here, We are celebrating Uniko's 12th Birthday this month! Bev has so many surprises this month with some new releases, blog hops, and giveaways as well! So keep an eye on all upcoming events!

I made two Birthday cards with CAS style to celebrate this fab Birthday month!!

I have used the Background blocks Mid-Century Modern II design on a grey panel. I love this background block, it is so cool!

This is a great retro design for creating a card in one go. I heat-embossed the design using Wow Primary Ebony EP. I colored the semi-circle blocks using my Chameleon pens. Adhered that panel to another black panel on a grey card base.

The birthday sentiment completes the design from the Up & away stamp set.

Now my other card has some shimmery touch in pastel colors.

The white pearl embossing powder looks so well on this textured white paper. Again colored the semi-circle blocks using Chameleon pens. Adhered the white panel to shimmery peach CS and again on a textured white card base. The sentiment is from the Mid-Century Modern Frames set.

Simple card but perfect for celebrations! I hope you feel inspired to make some Birthday cards.

Happy crafting!

Uniko 6th Birthday Linky Party!

Hey!

I've finally found a little time and energy to get back here on the blog and share some more inspiration and another FUN birthday celebration! It's been a busy half term week here at Uniko HQ with no nursery for The Beans, which means mummy duties have taken priority and many an activity and adventure has been had ;)

Anyway, it wouldn't be a birthday celebration without a PARTY, right? With the success of last years Birthday Linky Party, I thought it would be lovely to host another. 

Simply create a birthday card, any theme, any style and using any product you like and link it up via the linky below. You don't have to use Uniko products, but I'd LOVE to see you using your Uniko stash and there is an extra opportunity to win a prize if you do ;) Before I get to those, how about a little creative inspiration...

This was one of the cards I created back when I made my Uniko 6th Birthday Treasure Hunt cards that I have shared HERE. There is still time to join in on the Treasure Hunt, which starts over HERE.

I was totally inspired by the Pantone Colour of 2018, Ultraviolet and I really enjoyed using my Altenew inks and Uniko Style clear stamp set to create this layered floral design. 

Ok, so now that I have hopefully inspired you, how about the prizes to inspire you to join in a little bit more?! 

• Main Winner Chosen By the DT - £25 eGift Certificate
• Random Uniko Stamps Winner - In Stock Clear Stamp Set of Winners Choosing (any value)

I look forward to seeing you in the gallery, Hugs

February 2017 & 5th Birthday Sneak Peeks Day 1

WhooHoo!

The Uniko 5th Birthday Celebrations are now in FULL swing, as today I get to show you a couple of the 'official' sneak peeks for the February 2017 Release.

Thank you for your patience in waiting for this release. I treasure your patronage and support for Uniko, whether you've been here since the beginning or just a few days :)

Ok, lets get to these peeks...

First up we have a peek at a tiny section of a new 'style' of stamp, part of a collection that I am introducing to the line up of Uniko clear stamps called Block Party. I can't wait to show you the possibilities of this stamp on Monday 20th Feb ;)

Now, if you LOVE Originally Organic clear stamp set AND the FREE Digital Stamp Set featured in Simply Cards & Papercrafts back in September 2016 (available for download HERE), then I think you might just LOVE this additional clear stamp set!

The possibilities of this set on its own are fabulous, but pair it with Originally Organic and you will be set for endless possibilities!

You will get to see more of this set in use by the DT and myself in the coming days, so stay tuned! I will be back tomorrow with more Sneak Peeks to share with you, hope to see you then :)

Release Schedule...

Sneak Peeks 18th - 19th Sept, these little teasers give you hints at what is in store!

Introducing 20th - 24th Sept, here you will see a closer look at the clear stamp sets being released with a daily blog hop with the Uniko DT.

Release Day! Saturday 25th February 9am BST you will get to see the products in their entirety and purchase them HERE on the website! As usual there will be a Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Thank you for stopping by today and I'd LOVE to hear your initial thoughts on the Sneak Peeks!
Hugs

Happy 5th Birthday Uniko!

Happy Birthday Uniko!

Today we are celebrating Uniko's 5th Birthday. I can't quite believe that Uniko has made it this far! What an amazing 5 years it has been... 

Since I began this adventure back in 2012 awesome life events have taken place. From getting married in Hawaii in Sept 2013 to having twins in Sept 2014 and moving house in Feb 2015! Many of you have been with me since the beginning and have been a part of these along with being truly valued customers and supporters of myself and Uniko.

THANK YOU

Without you Uniko wouldn't be celebrating today, so to show my appreciation I am offering FREE Worldwide Shipping, this weekend!

Usually by now, I would have shared sneak peeks, introduced new products and had a release blog hop today and every other 11th of the month.

This year I have decided to take the pressure off myself a little bit by not having a 'set' schedule for new releases. Being a full time mummy to 2 two and a half year olds has enough stresses of it's own! 

So, instead we have a Birthday Linky Party! 

All you need to do is create a birthday card and link it up via the Linky Tool at the bottom of the post.  The Design Team and I have got the party started and created some birthday cards to inspire you. Be sure to stop on by the blogs via the links and leave some LOVE :)

• Top 3 Chosen By DT - In Stock £4 Clear Stamp Set of Winners Choosing

Simply Cards & Papercrafts!

Hey!

Sorry I have been MIA over the past few days, though it seems like weeks as time is just not slowing down. I've been hit by the bugs again this past weekend, I think it's been a combination of playgroups with the beans and working all the hours once they are in bed! 

March already, how did that happen?! Though it's good as it means Spring here in the UK is only a couple of weeks away - YAY! 

You may have seen this photo that I shared around social media towards the end of last week...

I was asked by the lovely Aimes (Editor & Chief of Simply Cards & Papercrafts) if I would design a set of free digital stamps and create some projects. How could I refuse that offer?! 

I thought I would share a closer look at the feature in the magazine for those who are unable to purchase the magazine. Also because I have yet to find my creative energy this week :( I'm sure I will at some point as I have some DT stuff to catch up on ;)

Anyway, here is the feature...

You might recognise the bunny from the recently released Some Bunny clear stamp set. I had some more fun posing him in a birthday box and with some birthday balloons ;)

To download your freebie stamps be sure to visit www.papercraftmagazines.com I'd love to see what you create using them :)

Ok, that's all from me tonight, I think another early night is called for if I am going to shift this bug and annoying cough. I'll be back later this week with more to share. Until then, thank you for stopping by today.

Uniko's 4th Birthday, February Release, Design Team Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hey!

Today is a celebration here at Uniko HQ, this day 4 years ago Uniko went live and we launched into the clear stamping & paper crafting world of business. 

Being able to celebrate 4 years is down to YOU my friends, loyal customers and blog readers, who have stuck by me and helped me to keep going and to enjoy bringing you (in small amounts) products to use in your love for paper crafting. 

It really does bring me so much joy each time I see a new customer order and a huge grin on my face when I see a card or project around blog land with Uniko products used on it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and every one of you that makes this happen. 

So today I bring you 4 new additions to the Uniko line up...

Beautiful Blooms III Acetate £9.00 DVD Case £9.95

Beautiful Blooms III is a gorgeous new floral addition to the Beautiful Blooms series. The multi stamp bloom is inspired by a vintage teacup motif. This fun, modern graphic floral can be used to create stunning focal points or all over backgrounds for your creative projects. If you liked Beautiful Blooms I and II then this set is sure to be a favourite too!

This is what it could look like if all elements are stamped, This is just an example, but as you have seen there are SO many other possibilities.

I LOVE Tea Acetate £4.00 DVD Case £4.95

I LOVE Tea is a wonderful mini clear stamp set for tea lovers & friends of yours that love tea. The set features a modern teacup along with a floral motif and wonderful sentiments. Though the set is tea themed it could easily be customised for any hot beverage any time of the year. It also coordinates wonderfully with the previously released I LOVE Coffee clear stamp set.

Simply Said Acetate £4.00 DVD Case £4.95

This sentiment set is a great addition and staple to any crafter/stampers arsenal. It features a total of 23 sentiments which are suitable for an array of occasions. They are the perfect size to coordinate with an abundance of previously released Uniko sentiments.

Some Bunny Acetate £4.00 DVD Case £4.95

Some Bunny is a new cute addition to the Uniko clear stamp range. The set features a large bunny which is suitable for many occasions, from Valentine's to Easter to New Baby cards, projects and more. Along with the featured bunny comes bunny accessories! Use these to dress up bunny or use to stamp patterns or accentuate the mix and match sentiments also contained in the set.

Projects I have created will be added here later today, due having a chest infection and sinusitis I simply ran out of energy last night to photograph and edit them, my sincere apologies. However, I know the FABulous Uniko DT and Uniko DT Alumni have a wealth of projects to inspire you today!

As tradition holds we have our release day blog hop, simply visit & comment along the hop by midnight Thursday 26th February, to be in the chance of winning the ENTIRE release! If you have already purchased any or all of the release a refund will be given.

Today we are continuing the countdown to our 4th Birthday, with a couple more sneak peeks of products being released on the 11th February. The first couple were HERE yesterday, in case you missed them!

First up we have a sneak peek at a new sentiment set...

This mini set is jam-packed full of sentiments for all sorts of occasions. They also pair lovely with so many other Uniko sentiment and image sets for even more possibilities. It's certainly proving to be a 'go to' set for me!

Lastly but by no means least I got my 'cute' on when designing for this next set...

This set has a mixture of interchangeable sentiments in two fun an trendy fonts along with the cute bunny ;) As you can see it would be perfect for Easter, but how about new baby, children's cards or even Valentine's??? 

Ok, that's all the sneak peeks for this release, I will be back again tomorrow with the Uniko DT and a Uniko Alumni to introduce you to the first product - YAY! I do hope I will see you tomorrow?! 

Below I have outlined the release schedule and as it is a celebration, it would be rude not to have prizes!
