Christmas In July 2025 - Introducing Flower Power 12

  

Happy Wonderful Wednesday!

Welcome to day 5 and the last of the Uniko Christmas in July 2025 Release products introductions. Be sure to check out the other introductions from this week and the weekend in the sidebar.

Today, lastly, but by no means least we get to introduce the final Flower Power stamp set, Flower Power #12. This one is beautifully festive and rounds up the collection perfectly.

Let's have a look at it in action.

It feels a little bittersweet to end the product introductions with the last being added to a collection. But I know it is the perfect ending and I can see myself using this pretty little floral a lot this coming Christmas.

AND that's not all the inspiration, as usual I have a video introduction over on the Uniko YouTube channel HERE

All the products will be available tomorrow at 9am BST Thursday 31st July 2025.  But be sure to join us here for the traditional Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Birthday Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Mix and Match

Welcome, 

Steph here and today I am using the Uniko Flower Power and Background Builders to mix and match my three cards. I took my inspiration from this lovely card created by Bev during the January 2025 release. 


For this card I have used Uniko Flower Power #11 from the January release and Uniko Background Builders: Delightful Diamonds stamp sets. For the sentiment I have used Uniko Birthday Wishes stamp set. 


Here I have used Uniko Flower Power #2 and Uniko Background Builders: Round In Circles stamp sets with a sentiment from Uniko Birthday Sentiments stamp set. 


And finally, I have paired Uniko Flower Power #1 with Uniko Background Builders: Seeing Stars and again a sentiment from Uniko Birthday Wishes stamp set. 

I hope you like this set of clean and simple cards and I hope they breathe life into your Uniko Flower Power and Background Builders sets again. 

Much love

January 2025 Release - Reintroducing... Background Builders Flower Power

Happy Weekend.

Welcome to the final day of product introductions for the Uniko January 2025 Release. Today we have a re-introduction, Background Builders Flower Power. 

This clear stamp set originally released in August 2013 and was one that was loved and popular. But like others, sometimes I make the tough decision to retire them to make room for newness. So why am I bringing it back? I hear you ask.

On Thursday we saw the penultimate addition to the Flower Power clear stamp collection being introduced and when designing it, I thought of how this series has grown and how some of the flowers are connected to this set I designed all those years ago.

So I thought I would bring it back for some fresh inky love and all the new creative pairings and possibilities. Before we get to the new inspiration from myself and the Brand Ambassadors, I thought it would be fun to see a few cards from its original release...








Now let's see it with new creative eyes...

So many fun pairings and techniques. I hope you are as delighted as I am that this clear stamp set is returning. 

This wraps up all of the new product introductions for this release, which means, tomorrow is the day you have all been waiting for... RELEASE DAY!

All of the products you've seen over the last week will be available at 9am GMT over on the Uniko website. I do hope though, that you will join myself and the Brand Ambassadors here on the blog for our traditional Release Day Blog Hop & Giveaway.

Until tomorrow.

January 2025 Release - Introducing... Flower Power #11 and Stencil - Mid Century Modern Circle & Stars

Welcome to Day 3 of the Uniko January Release product introductions. 

I hope you are enjoying the release so far. Today we are introducing two more products, Flower Power #11 and Stencil - Mid Century Modern Stars & Circles. 

The Uniko Flower Power series is one I added to last year and it sparked my love for the collection again and also sparked inspiration to finish the collection. This is the penultimate one and one that has a spring feel to it, but also has an Art Deco feel to it. Also, like the other Flower Power clear stamp sets, this has a sentiment theme, for this one I chose a friendship. 

The Mid Century Modern Stars & Circles was a last minute addition to the release and one I couldn't keep to myself.

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

Such a fun hop with so much inspiration for all year round, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. That's all from us today, but we will be back tomorrow with even more to share.

Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Flower Power

 Good morning all, 

Steph here and today I am focusing on the Uniko Flower Power series for my Brand Ambassador inspiration. 

My first card uses Uniko Flower Power #2 stamp set. I have also used the Uniko Flower Power #1 - #6 matching die set for some of these cards. 


The flower stems and sentiments are stamped directly onto the card and the flower heads have been stamped, die cut and adhered using foam pads. 

My next card uses Uniko Flower Power #4 stamp set.


Both the stems and the flower heads have been stamped and die cut with the stems being adhered to the card flat, and the heads again adhered using foam pads. 

My final card uses Uniko Flower Power #6 stamp set.


I didn't use the die set here but I did want to move away from the CAS nature of the first two cards and fill the background with florals. I used the flower head and one of the leaves from the set and stamped them around the sentiment from the Uniko Birthday Wishes stamp set.

My passion for this series of stamps has definitely been re-ignited having had a play around with them. I have used only one Flower Power stamp set per card but of course you can mix and match these sets so the possibilities are endless!

Much love

June 2024 Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Happy Weekend & HAPPY NEW RELEASE DAY.

I'm so glad you have stopped by the blog today as today is the day ALL the products myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors have been showcasing this week are now available HERE on the BRAND NEW Uniko website.

Yes, that's correct! 

The long awaited and much anticipated fresh Uniko website is finally here. It's been a learning curve for me as we've transferred over to a new and more efficient platform, unfortunately it wasn't possible to transfer account details over, my apologies for that. If you've already been over and registered an account on the new site this week, thank you. 

I am still working on adding some of the pretty details and fancy features. The focus has been on functionality and accessibility. I will keep you informed of new features as and when they are added. 

Last little bit of website news, I will have access to the old platform for one more week. If you require a screenshot of your purchase history, drop me an email and I can do that for you. This is the only information I am able to access before the website is gone forever. 

Ok, now let's get to the FUN and formally introduce the new products.

First up we have the next stencil in the Ink & Flip line up. This time I have gone for a geometric hexagon and again I have gone for the two layer option giving more creative possibilities.

Next up we have a BEEautiful addition to the Flower Power Collection. I can't wait to see all the mix and matches with the previously released Flower Power sets. 

As you can see this stamp set features two hexagon flowers that can be used on their own, but they can be layered up too. There is a little bitty bee that is the same, but smaller version than the one in Bee Happy. You get the usual stem and leaves with a fun hexagon in fill and this can be die cut using the same leaf and stem die from the Designer Dies Flower Power 1 - 6 Collection. There are 2 separate leaves and 4 sentiment options. 

As the font is the same as all the other Flower Power clear stamp sets there will be lots more sentiment options to Buzz By and Say!

Next we have a fun addition to the Background Blocks Collection. Another FUN stripe design and one that has lots of creative possibilities. I can't wait to see what you all do with this one!

Lastly, but by no means least we have a fun Mid Century Modern inspired addition to the Flower Power Collection. In this I have added two different kinds of single leaves and the sentiments are all bloom inspired.

Now I have formally introduced the newness, let's have a look at some more inspiration using them...
