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!

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... Originally Organic Flower Garden

Happy FriYAY!

Welcome to day 4 of the April 2025 product introductions. Be sure to check back if you've missed any of the introductions so far, they are definitely not to be missed! 

Today I am delighted to be adding to the Originally Organic series, one of my signature design styles, with Originally Organic Flower Garden. 

This clear stamp set features pretty flowers, stems and a flower garden border style image along with some sentiments in a different font style to my 'usual' Originally Organic clear stamps. A change is as good as a rest, so they say! 

Let's get to the good stuff and see this set in action...


Anita


















All these pretty flowers really make me happy, so many different colouring styles and techniques. I think you can really make this stamp set your own. Plus, you can get different looks by mix and matching with elements and sentiments from the other stamp sets in the series. 

Again, be sure to hop along to see the inspiration from the team and leave some comment love.

This stamp set, 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. 

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...


 Anita
















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. 

Happy Hopping & Crafty Hugs

Hello April 🌸

Hello April & Happy Tuesday. 

A shiny new month ahead and lots of inspiration in store. It's a jam packed month here at Uniko HQ with lots planned for the month. 

This weekend I have another show, here in the North East of the UK with Crafterama in Gateshead. I'm excited to be back on almost home ground & I'm looking forward to chatting & demoing on the Uniko stand. 

Next is the Uniko Stamping Retreat & I've a fun filled day of crafting in store and the attendees are super lucky, they get to see & craft with the new products coming at the end of the month. 

I'll be taking a little 'break' over the Easter weekend, I say 'break' more like getting out of the studio to help my husband install a new fence along the side of our house. Whilst I might add The Beans go off on their jollies with Grandma & Grandad! I often wonder what I agree to 😂

Then the final full week of April we will begin the countdown to the April 2025 Release which will be available on the website and at the Crafterama show in Lincoln

Anyway, enough chat, lets start the month as I mean to go on with inspiration...





My card today was totally inspired by THIS card by Kristina Werner. I've been a fan of Kristina's for many many years and I was delighted when she launched her own collection with Concord & 9th. I've treated myself to a few things, including this skinny frame die. You can purchase it HERE at Seven Hills Crafts.

Anyway, I saw this card, loved the layout and thought it would work wonderfully with the flowers from Organic Blooms.




I often forget about stamping on coloured card. So often I reach for white and a way of adding colour, which I am not always great at doing. But this is a fun and quick way of bringing all the colour.

The colours used are Wildberry, Honeysuckle, Sweet Pea & Pink Lemonade. I chose to use black for my frame and stamping instead of gold that Kristina has used, but I still managed to squeeze in a little white! 

Are you a fan of stamping on coloured card or patterned paper?

Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms and Organic Bloom Clear Stamps


Hello & Happy Wednesday! 

Welcome to day 4 of the Uniko 13th Birthday February Release introductions. Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are Introducing Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms and Organic Bloom Clear Stamps. 

I've fallen in love with designing layering stencils!! 

This time I couldn't resist adding an option of using a coordinating clear stamp set. Both products can be used on their own or paired together for even more options. 

Along with the designs being drawn in my organic style seen in clear stamps such as Originally Organic and Originally Organic Additions. The products have an element taken from the Papercraft Society Box I designed for CraftStash. Plus they have a lovely Scandinavian look to them.

Let's have a look...

Be still my Scandinavian loving heart! Such pretty inspiration evoking beautiful spring and summer vibes. 

Until tomorrow, Crafty Hugs
