Introducing... Hoppy Easter and Everyday Spring Sentiments

 

Welcome to Day 2 of the product introductions for our 11th Birthday Release. 

Today myself and the Brand Ambassadors are showcasing two clear stamp sets, Hoppy Easter and Everyday Spring Sentiments.

As you know, I don't really draw cute images, but I was loving the Mid Century Modern Meow with the solid and outline cat images, I decided to do a bunny version. It's not Mid Century Modern styled, but it's my version of cute, I guess you could say! 

Let's HOP along with the Brand Ambassadors and see these sets in action...

We will be back tomorrow with more to share. This clear stamp set, along with all we are introducing this week will be available on Saturday 4th March 9am GMT.

Countdown to Christmas Day 3 - Christmas Wishes

 Happy Thursday!

Welcome to Day 3 of Uniko's Countdown to Christmas! 

Today I am sharing some Christmas Wishes, with a little Throwback Thursday spin for good measure...

I love a good sentiment and I love a good font, mix them together and you have another sentiment stamp set to add to the collection! I think sentiment stamp sets are one thing you can't have too many of, that's probably why I keep designing them ;)

Anyway, this first card layout is a throwback favourite to when Background Builders: Christmas first came out in 2013! You can check the original card by Amy Wanford (Aimes) out HERE.

As you can see I have used the same holly stamp & style of ribbon but paired them with the 'Season's Greetings' sentiment from the NEW Christmas Wishes clear stamp set. This is definitely a last minute 'go to' design when I know I'll need more Christmas cards!

This lead me onto my second card for today...

Another throwback layout to 2013, with THIS card I made. I think I have used this card for other occasions too?! It's a lovely CAS layout for using background building stamps.

A super CAS design, fairly easily mass produceable and mailing friendly too. I opted to not add glitter to the outline holly leaves on this occasion, but it would be a lovely sparkly embellishment idea for next time!

That's all my Christmas Wishes for today, I hope I have given you some creative Christmas sentiment inspiration. This stamp set has been super popular this release (thank you), there are less than a handful left on the website, so be quick if it's on your Christmas Wishes list! 

Tomorrow is our Uniko Challenge #62 Reminder, I will be combining the Countdown to Christmas post with my challenge reminder card on the blog tomorrow.

OH, and before I go... Did you see yesterdays post, WIN IT WEDNESDAY?! You might just want to check it out HERE.

Until tomorrow, thank you for stopping by today!

Introducing... Framed - Holly and Christmas Wishes

Hey & Happy Saturday!

Welcome to Day 1 of the Nov/Dec 2020 product introductions. 

Incase you missed the news yesterday, I shared some Sneak Peeks at some new products that will be available at 8pm GMT Monday 30th November over on the website HERE! 

With all the craziness and uncertainty of 2020, I kept the hype of a final release for this year quiet incase things didn't go as planned. BUT I am super happy and excited to finally bring you some new designs.

Today I am sharing a couple of Christmas cards using two new clear stamp sets, Framed - Holly and Christmas Wishes.

Framed - Holly is pretty much as the name suggests, a frame filled with a beautiful modern holly design around the edges. The style is very similar to those in the Originally Organic series. The frame measures 9 x 11.3 cm, so for this card I have trimmed my base card to be equal around all sides.

For my first card I decided to emboss the frame with WOW Metallic Gold Rich embossing powder onto Kraft card stock. I've then coloured the holly leaves and berries with Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is just one of the 'complete' sentiments and a favourite of mine from Christmas Wishes. 

This last card for today shows Framed - Holly on my usual size card, 10.5 x 14 cm and for this card I stamped the frame in VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink and did some simple colouring with Copic Markers. The sentiment is a fave from Simply Said Blocks Christmas, which I have adhered to the card using 1mm thick foam adhesive.

A short & sweet introduction from me today, but I will be sharing LOTS more with these two stamp sets on Monday, RELEASE DAY! 

I will be back again tomorrow with a couple more introductions. I'd love to know what you like the look of so far :) I will choose ONE random comment left on this post on Tuesday 1st December for a £5 eGift Code to spend in store. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Black Friday Bargains AND Nov/Dec 2020 Sneak Peeks!

 

Happy Friday!

What better way to start the weekend than with a SALE?! There are LOTS of bargains to be had over on the Uniko Sale Page HERE. Some are low in stock, so if there is something you've been after be sure to get in quick! I have also reduced the FREE Worldwide Shipping minimum order amount from £50 to £30.

The SALE and FREE Worldwide Shipping Offer will end 9pm GMT Sunday 29th November 2020.

AND it gets better... who's excited for a NEW Release?!

It's been a while coming thanks to the crazy of Covid, but I am pleased to have a mini Festive Release for all your last minute or early 2021 festive crafting!

Here are the Sneak Peeks to whet your crafting appetite ;)

This first peek is of a Pop Art inspired clear stamp set with a Christmas twist. Those who are long time Uniko fans might recognise the style from Explosion! and Explosion! Additions clear stamp sets and Designer Dies.

My next peek is of the first in a NEW series of 'framed' stamps. This set has an Originally Organic style to it, but as you can see it's beautifully festive. 

Lastly for the FESTIVE clear stamps I have an awesome new sentiment set for you...

I've included 'complete' sentiments perfect for inside & outside of your Christmas cards, along with some 'mix & match' sentiments. Excited to show you these paired with some Uniko Christmas firm favourites!

AND if you read my Fall / Winter 2020 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Post HERE, you might have noticed the BIG hint I dropped to the last clear stamp being released ;)

As much as a do love a digital stamp, sometimes you are a little limited in the techniques you can use with them. So I am super excited to introduce another stamp to the Block Party series for all you coffee lovers out there. Block Party Coffee Love. This pairs beautifully with the previously released I LOVE Coffee clear stamp set.

AND that's not all! I have a couple of NEW stencil designs too...

This first stencil design will add even MORE possibilities to the first sneak peek I shared today AND to the previously released Explosion! and Explosion! Additions clear stamps! 

AND FINALLY...

I couldn't resist adding a festive design to the repertoire! Again, those long time fans of Uniko might have a hint to a currently but soon to come back clear stamp set ;)

That's all the sneak peeks I have to share for this release and I am excited to be sharing some projects over the weekend using these new products! 

They will be available to purchase on the website at 8pm GMT Monday 30th November - woohoo! 

Thanks for stopping by today & I would LOVE to know what you are most excited about and can't wait to see more of :)

Introducing... Anniversaire Arts Décoratifs & B. Builders Arts Décoratifs

Hey!

Welcome to Day 2 of the February 2020 & 8th Birthday Release product introductions. If you missed day 1, be sure to catch up HERE.

Today myself and my awesome Brand Ambassadors are back to introduce two more clear stamp sets which continue the Art Deco theme. 

The first is a mini sentiment set called Anniversaire Arts Décoratifs. This set features celebratory sentiments in a 1920's font and also way of talking, from having a roaring good time, to drinking champagne and dancing on the tables to all the dazzle dazzle in between! 

The second is the latest addition to the Background Builders series of stamps. It's been a while since I added to this series & it is such a fun addition. The stamp set features 5 Art Deco styled building strips to create fabulous patterned backgrounds. 

Let's have a look at how these stamps can be used...
