Uniko 10th Birthday Celebrations - February 2022 Release Sneak Peeks AND a Warm Welcome!

 



Hello & Happy Tuesday! 

Woohoo! The 10th Birthday Celebrations continue. It is finally time to share the sneak peeks for the 2022 February Release AND we have a warm welcome to the Uniko Brand Ambassadors.

I hope you have been enjoying the celebrations so far, there is still time to join in on the 10 Quests for your chance to win 😊

Before we get to the sneak peeks I would firstly like to give a warm welcome to Anita Bowden (Neets) to the Uniko Brand Ambassadors.




Hi, I’m Anita (aka Neets) and I live in Torquay, a seaside town on the South West coast of England.  Since childhood I’ve always been creative and would always be making something or doing cross-stitch.  I bought my first home and needed a hobby so I bought some card making kits but found them quite limiting so, after finding some blogs in a craft magazine I was hooked.  Card making is the perfect escapism from my full-time job as an Audio Secretary.  ‘Neet & Crafty’ was born in early 2013 and I’m so glad I became part of the online craft community (although my bank balance would disagree!)  But what a wonderful find it was.  After a few years of experimenting with different styles, I can certainly say the style I feel most at home with is clean and simple.  I’ve had Uniko products in my stash since I started blogging so I’m excited to be joining the Uniko family and can’t wait to get creative with Bev’s fantastic products!


Welcome Anita, I am delighted to have you join Uniko and I am sure I am not the only one who can't wait to see your creativity using the new release. 

How about some sneaky peeks to brighten this day up even more?

This month we have 5 new clear stamp sets and 3 new stencil/mask designs. All the new products will be available to purchase on Sunday 27th February 10am GMT. 




These first two peeks are of new additions to the Background Block series and I am sure they are going to be very versatile and super useful for those masculine makes. 




Next we have a new addition to the BIG & BOLD series and one I am sure will be just as fun as the others. 




How about some useful everyday sentiments? You know I am crushing on this font, so I couldn't resist adding some more useful sentiments which I am sure you'll love just as much as me! 




Lastly for the clear stamps I have a new addition to the Framed series. I am so excited about this one and it is very apt for the birthday release! 




This month we are also re-releasing a previously released and retired clear stamp set. Hands up, who remembers Fun Flowers.




Now there is a reason for this little beauty to return from retirement and this leads me onto sharing a little about the first Uniko Stencil sneak....




This first Stencil & Mask coordinates beautifully with Fun Flowers and will not only provide fresh creative inspiration to the clear stamps, but also with the previously released Stencil - Fun Flowers. 

Next I have the next addition to the Flower Power Stencils, #7. This again is both a stencil and a mask providing so many fun possibilities.




Lastly for this release, but by no means least I have another beautiful Stencil / Mask. This is just stunning on its own, but again will coordinate with Fun Flowers! 





What do you think? 

Are you excited for the first of the introductions tomorrow? I know I am!

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by.

February 2020 & 8th Birthday Reveal, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!



Hey & Happy Sunday!

Welcome to the February & 8th Birthday product reveal, blog hop & GIVEAWAY! Today I am excited to share the SEVEN new clear stamp sets to the Uniko line up AND one new coordinating Designer Die collection.

*PLEASE NOTE:- To protect my designs and discourage the blatant theft of them, there is a watermark over the top of the product image. This makes the image appear that the lines are not solid. I apologise for the inconvenience and ensure you that this is not part of the design or physical stamps you will receive. To see what the stamp/s look like when stamped, please have a look at the samples in the product gallery. Thank you for your understanding*

Also, please note all the products will be available to purchase at 9pm GMT HERE on the Uniko Website. 

The first product I would like to tell you about is Alphabet Outlined. This is a large £16 clear stamp set which features both the alphabet, numbers & punctuation. Fo a size guidance the individual stamps are 2cm tall. Definitely a great addition to your stamp stash!

Next I introduce Anniversaire Arts Décoratifs, the first in the Art Deco themed stamps for this release. As you can see this mini £5 clear stamp set packs a punch with 7 sentiments in a fun Art Deco styled font & with references to 1920's themed celebrations. Plus there are 2 accent stamps.

Next, I introduce Background Blocks Pinstripe II. This block is very similar to Background Blocks Pinstripe, but you will notice how the stripes have change orientation. Pair both the blocks together for a grid effect like Brand Ambassador Wiebke did HERE!

How about some 'Happy Days' with this elegant foliage silhouette design. This mini clear stamp set is similar to the previously released Just Because clear stamp set. I have scaled the silhouette to a similar size and the mix & match sentiments use the same modern fonts.

Lastly, but by no means least. The final clear stamp set for this release is Spring Botanicals Tulips. This is a beautiful addition to the series and perfect for those Spring & Easter themed cards we will be making as we head into Spring here in the Northern Hemisphere. Though like all floral stamps, they can be used for more than their intention and all year round!

If you already own the stamps, this is going to provide so many more options for your creativity with them.

Introducing... Alphabet Outlined & Background Blocks Arts Décoratifs



Hey!


Welcome to Day 1 of the February 2020 & 8th Birthday Release product introductions.


I've been waiting for this day for AGES and now this is the fun part where myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors get to show you LOTS of inspiration! You get to see all the sneak peeks I've shared yesterday in action on cards & projects over the next few days leading up to 23rd February, Release Day!

Today we are introducing two new clear stamp sets, Alphabet Outlined AND Background Blocks Arts Décoratifs. 

Alphabet Outlined is what the name of the clear stamp set says! I've used the same modern font as I have for the previously released Sentiments Outlined, Festive Sentiments Outlined and You Are, Sentiments Outlined. The scale however is larger and the set also includes numbers & punctuation for even more versatility. 

The second stamp we are introducing today is Background Blocks Arts Décoratifs. This stamp set is the first inspired by the Art Deco design style of the 1920's, which is a theme for two other clear stamp sets we are introducing later this week ;)

Let's have a look at some inspiration using these new stamps...








WOW! That was one inspirational hop. You have got to LOVE the fun you can have with an Alpahbet stamp set & my Brand Ambassadors certainly did this. I love the creative and colourful ways they used the Background Block too. 

I hope you enjoyed the hop & left some comment love along the way. I will be randomly selecting some comments left on the Introducing hops to win prizes!

Thank you for stopping by today & I hope you will come back tomorrow for more inspiration.
