Introducing... Ink & Flip Layering Geometric Hexagon

Hello & Happy Tuesday! 

I am so glad you have stopped by the blog today as myself and the Brand Ambassadors are here to tempt your creative taste buds with an array of inspiration. 

The first product I am excited to introduce is another addition to Uniko's innovative Ink & Flip Stencil line up, Ink & Flip Geometric Hexagon. 

This design is a 2 stencil set, again offering a wealth of creative options. It's perfect for those masculine makes, but also breathes new life into previously released Uniko products like Background Builders Happy Hexagons and Bee Happy clear stamps. 

Let's have a look at this new stencil in action...

That hop has my creative juices buzzing! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and I'd love to know what you think of this new addition to the Ink & Flip Stencils.

That's all for today, but don't worry we will be back tomorrow with LOTS more inspiration. This stencil, along with all the products being introduced this week will be available on the website Saturday 29th June 9am BST.

Bauhaus Geometrics & a Winner!

Happy Saturday.

What a beautiful day here in the North East, sunshine & warmth makes it feel like summer has arrived. I've had a very lazy Bean free day and I've made a few cards to share with you over the coming days. Along with designing some fun new products, but you'll have to wait a bit longer to see those ;)

Anyway, as I am announcing the winner for the May/June Mini Release, I thought I would make another card using the Bauhaus Blocks clear stamp set. This time I decided to pair it with the Stencil - Christmas Pop, without the Christmas look! 

I simply wanted to create this fun geometric background along the sides of my card base. I used Concord & 9th Cobblestone, Buttercup & Marmalade for my colours. The Bauhaus Block is adhered using foam tape and I added a few enamel dots for good measure. 

Now I've shared my card, how about we get to the winner. Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment here and across the social media platforms, your support, comments and lovely orders all make my day and I am sure I speak for the Uniko Brand Ambassadors too.

The lucky winner chosen from the comments left across social media is .

Please send Uniko a DM on social media or an email via bev@uniko.co.uk along with your postal address and I will get your goodies in the post to you.

2023 May/June Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Hello, Happy Friday AND Happy New Release Day!

I'm super excited to share these new products with you and they are now officially available to purchase over HERE on the website.

But, let me first formally introduce them. 

First up we have the newest addition to the Flower Power Collection with, Stencil - Flower Power #4. This stencil is a supersized version of the outline flower image from the Flower Power #4 Clear Stamp Set. Bringing even more creative possibilities to both products.

Next is Bauhaus Blocks Clear Stamp set. 

This clear stamp features 5 blocks in size, featuring Bauhaus inspired geometrics and patterns, along with 4 sentiment options in a fun modern font. The set is perfect for masculine themed products and pairs with lots of other previously released Uniko products you might have in your stash.

Lastly for this mini release, but by no means least I have a new addition to the layering stencil collection, Stencil - Layering Bauhaus Blocks Builder.

The name says it all really! It has 3 layers to achieve different colours, its block themed and inspired by Bauhaus. 

You might notice the common newest feature that I have incorporated into Uniko Stencil more recently. The option of a focal point or building to fill a larger space. Having the layers makes it a little more complex, but it it still super easy to achieve an all over pattern. 

I will be going LIVE over on the Uniko Facebook Page tonight at 7pm BST to demo this stencil. I hope you will join me, but if you can't the live will be recorded to watch back at a time that suits you.

Brand Ambassador Post : Background Blocks - Pinstripe II

 Hi there!

Hannelie here today with a set of cards so quick and so clean and so simple . I just realised again that cardmaking doesn't have to be complicated to be fun !

I started off with the intention to make five cards (the first five photos) and then the idea came to (sort of) combine a couple of them on one card... 

All you need is a background stamp, a sentiment stamp & some colored card stock . A couple of geometric dies or punches would make it even easier 😊

Inspiration for the designs come from some mid century posters like THIS pin combining bold color blocks with stripes. The color block provides a great spot to place the sentiment!

Here's the card with the combination of elements :

... and the complete set !

I used :

• Background-blocks-pinstripe-ii-clear-stamp
• Anniversaire-arts-decoratifs-clear-stamp
• Versafine black ink
• Misti stamping tool
• Silhouette cameo (to cut the small circles ,squares and rectangles)
• Circle die (to cut the larger circles)
• Foam squares for dimension

Thank you so much for popping in today! 

I hope you feel inspired ♥

June 2021 Stencil Release Sneak Peeks

 Hello & Happy Wednesday! 

Today is a fun and exciting day at Uniko as I get to show you some sneak peeks at some NEW Uniko Stencils that will be joining the growing collection. There are no clear stamps being released this month, BUT you won't have long to wait as there is another release coming in July! 

Anyway, lets get to these sneak peeks...

First up we have the next addition to the Pure Florals Stencils. A few people guessed right with the flower when I shared a peek a while back on my Instagram stories! I'm excited to be building this series in stencil format as I feel it breathes fresh inky life to the stamp sets.

Next up I couldn't resist a new geometric design...

You know how I love a good geometric for masculine cards! Plus they always pair nicely with florals too. So many fun options with this new stencil.

Lastly for this mini stencil release I have bundled these last two peeks together, as that is how they will be sold as a bundle purchase...

You might recognise this too from a popular clear stamp set. I really don't know why it has taken me so long to bring this combination to the stencil range! I have had SO much fun playing with this combination and pairing the with the stamps ;)

Be sure to pop by tomorrow as myself and my awesome Brand Ambassadors start the introductions. Oh, the prettiness and inspiration over the next few days is amazing! 

All will be available for purchase HERE on the website Sunday 20th June at 9am BST.
