Spring/Summer 2025 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop WINNER

Hello & Happy FriYAY! 

Today I am popping by to announce the winner of the Spring/Summer 2025 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Thank you to everyone that took the time to hop along and comment. But before I get to the winner I have one more hot drink card to inspire you.

For my card I dusted off I LOVE Tea. I had this fun idea to stamp the garden of flowers from Originally Organic Flower Garden inside the cup and I was delighted to see the stems fit inside perfectly.

I stamped the solid flower from the set onto the side of the tea cup and added one of the sentiment options from I LOVE Tea, before colouring with alcohol markers.

Isn't it great when you can combine new and old products for more creative options?

Ok, now onto the winner. I used random.org to select a lucky comment. 

And the lucky winning comment for the £25 Uniko eGift Code is...

Congratulations Judy! 

Please send an email to bev@uniko.co.uk no later than Saturday 21st June to claim your prize.

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.

Lee30 September 2023 at 14:35

I love that sentiment and love the colors . Thank you ! Happy Coffee Day!

Congratulations Lee! I have sent you an email.

Before I go I have a new card to share with you as I fancied pairing the NEW Autumn Serenade with I LOVE Coffee and this is how it turned out...

I started by stamping the main swirling leaves from Autumn Serenade in a selection of Concord & 9th inks, Spiced Cider, Sunflower, Stardust, Avocado, Artichoke, Wheat and Nutmeg. I used my MISTI to blend and repeat stamp to get a nice autumnal coverage. I then added a sentiment strip and the coffee cup from I LOVE Coffee, adorned with a leaf.

That's all from me today.

Uniko Sponsors The National Coffee Day Coffee Lovers Blog Hop 2023

 

Happy Friday! 

Myself and Uniko are delighted to be joining the Coffee Lovers and sponsoring National Coffee Day in the USA. So happy National Coffee Day to all in the US 😃

To start the hop be sure to head on over HERE for all the details and links to sponsor participants. There is no link up for this hop, just lots of inspiration. Simply hop along and comment for your chance to win one of the fabulous prizes on offer.

Here is what I made to celebrate the occasion...

There was a couple of things that inspired my one layer card today. Firstly, Autumn for my colour choice, the leaves here in the UK are only just starting to fall and change colour. I love the fiery reds and oranges of the season. 

I mixed Concord & 9th Poppy, Honeysuckle and Marmalade to stamp our Background Blocks Splatter. I chose this background because of the accidental coffee/beverage spillage it reminded me of! 

I then stamped our Coffee Cup from I LOVE Coffee with our mini logo on the front and one of the sentiments from the set. I'm pleased how this turned out.

Now for the Uniko Giveaway...

Simply comment on this card on one or all of our social media platforms I have shared it on. Giveaway will close at 10am GMT 5th October 2023 and the winner will be announced on 16th October 2023.

Happy Hopping & Crafty Hugs

Coffee Beans!

Hey & Happy Friday!

The weekend is almost here - yay! I am SO ready for the weekend and to have daddy home to 'help' with the beans! It's been a long week to say the least, even if I did have a bean free day yesterday ;)

During my bean free hours I managed to create a few cards, including this one I have to share with you today...

Today is the last day to get your creations linked up to the Summer 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop HERE. Along with Uniko being a Super Sponsor there are LOTS of other fabulous company prizes to be won. 

Anyway, back to my card. I had been wanting to join in on the current "Less is More" challenge HERE and seen below, since I saw the sketch on Saturday! 

And the current Color Throwdown colours HERE and seen below seemed a fun combination to use too.

As you can see I used the Uniko I LOVE Coffee clear stamp set for the card, using just the trio of beans stamped in Altenew Mocha ink and the wavy sentiment stamped in Altenew Moss ink. The die cut wave is a Mama Elephant die and I added a trio of Stampin' up! enamel dots in Pumpkin Pie.

That's all I have to share for with you today, hopefully I will squeeze in some more inky time when the beans have gone to bed tonight! 

Don't forget I have a Blog Candy GIVEAWAY HERE, be sure to hop on over and comment to be in the chance of winning AND I've a little GIVEAWAY over on my Instagram account today too! 

Thanks for stopping by!

The 2017 Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Hey & Happy Friday!

YAY! It's time for another Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, I'm super happy to be a little organised this time and have a project made to enter on day 1!

Uniko is honoured to have been invited again by the lovely Amy from Tsuruta Designs to sponsoring another fun blog hop and challenge, you can check out all the details over on the Uniko Website Blog HERE, I have blog candy there too ;) AND more details HERE over at the hop!

Anyway, onto my card...

At the moment Summer to me = Tropical! Hence my decision to pair I LOVE Coffee with Paradise clear stamp set.

I was inspired by a couple of challenges for the ink blended panel and layout of my card. Firstly the challenge over at AAA Cards HERE is the resist technique. 

I stamped the outline Hibiscus flower and solid leaves using VersaMark and heat embossed them with clear EP. I then blended two of my favourite distress inks over the top. 

The second challenge I was inspired by was the new CAS(E) this Sketch! layout seen HERE and below.

I continued the Hibiscus flower theme onto the Coffee cup, keeping it simple by stamping it in Lawn Fawn Merman ink and adding a touch of Stampin' Up! glitter for some Summer sparkle! 

The sentiment is a combination from Simply Said and I LOVE Coffee. I added a trio of Stampin' Up! Glitter Enamel Dots to finish the design off.

Ok, that's all I have to share with you today, but be sure to check out my post HERE with the Uniko Sponsor details, more inspiration and BLOG CANDY!

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 another fun blog hop and challenge...

Friday 24th March - Friday 31st March 2017

To link up your projects and more details about the hop and Super Sponsors pop on over to the Coffee Loving Carmakers Blog HERE.

To kick this FABulous hop off I've created my own Spring themed tea card...

I've had this idea in my head for a few days now and I just needed 10 minutes to sit down to create it! At first I couldn't decide whether to use one of the Flower Power stamps to stamp growing outside the teacup from I LOVE Tea, but settled upon the stem from Originally Organic and the flowers from Originally Organic Additions.

I kept the design CAS and left the images just stamped in the colours and uncoloured. The stem and flowers are fussy cut and I made a small cut along the rim of the teacup to place the stem inside so it would look as if the plant is growing out of the teacup.

That's all I had time to make for today, but I hope that I have inspired you to join in on the fun HERE! But, before I go today, how about another PRIZE?! 

Simply leave a comment on this post by 6am (PST) March 31st and I will select one lucky comment to receive an in stock clear stamp set of their choosing from the Uniko website!

Hey & Happy Christmas Eve!

Sorry I have been MIA for SO long, I wasn't expecting to be so busy, stressed and ill these past couple of weeks. We have had yet more bugs in the house and two little beans that stopped sleeping through the night due to being ill :( 

Then, after a much needed mummy Christmas night out I got sick with a chest infection and laryngitis and lost my voice for 3 days! Anyway, we are just about fully recovered, just a few sniffles and a croaky voice for mummy ;)

Now, enough of the waffle, how about I announce a couple of winners...?! First up we have the winner of the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop candy I offered HERE for commenting on the post.

Random.org has helped me pick the winning comment...

Katrina Brown24 September 2016 at 19:35

Beautiful fall card! Love that botanical flourish coming up behind the cup! Thanks for sponsoring!

Congratulations Katrina! Please drop me an email to bev@uniko.co.uk along with your postal address and I will get your prize on its way to you. 

Before I leave, how about a card...

I 'needed' to have a little crafting therapy tonight after a 'challenging' day with the beans! They have lived up to the 'double trouble' comments today, causing havoc! 

As I didn't get to make as many coffee themed cards for the hop as I would have liked and had planned in my head ;) out came the I LOVE Coffee and Marvellous Mehndi clear stamp sets! 

I also decided to play along with a couple of challenges, it has been ages since I've joined in on some of my favourites! First up the layout of my card is from Freshly Made Sketches seen HERE and below. Secondly, my colour choice is from ColourQ seen HERE and below.

I used one of the paisley/patterned teardrop stamps from Marvellous Mehndi, simply over stamping the coffee cup and fussy cutting the cup out, direct on the stamped line not leaving any border. This meant I didn't have to do any masking. The sentiment is from Simply Said and I added minimal colour and just a trio of SU! Candy Dots.

That's all from me tonight, I have made a couple more cards tonight, which I will be sharing on the blog tomorrow. I do hope you will pop back again tomorrow ;) Until then, thank you for stopping by.

Supplies:

Stamps: Uniko I LOVE Coffee, Marvellous Mehndi and Simply Said

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black

Card: SU! Whisper White

Accessories: SU! Marker Pens, Candy Dots and Glitter Paper
