10th Birthday Celebration THANK YOU's and a Fond Farewell

 

Hello & Happy Monday! 

Apologies for the late post today, but I wanted to pop by and finish this celebratory month with some THANK YOU's and of course I have used a little 10th Birthday February 2022 Release on my card today.

Firstly, I want to thank YOU all for making this a fun month. For all your lovely comments, for all the best wishes and cards, for joining in on the quests, sharing creations on social media AND for all your lovely orders. You have kept me wonderfully busy today 😊

Secondly, I want to thank the Uniko Brand Ambassadors past, present and those who came back to help celebrate this month, for all their jaw dropping creative inspiration. I'm sure you will agree that they bring and have brought so much creativity and new ideas on how to use Uniko products. 

I would also like to give a special shout out of thanks to Jane. Jane has been my super star organiser and the brains behind the Quests we have had over the course of this month. I bounced some ideas to Jane and she really did work her magic to make them happen. 

Lastly, and by no means least I would like to give another special thank you to Rahmat as we sadly wish her a fond farewell. After 6 years being a Brand Ambassador for Uniko, Rahmat has taken a hard decision to step down from the team.

I for one will especially miss Rahmat's stunning and creative colouring skills, she has brought so much to the team over the past 6 years and will be greatly missed by all. Though I am sure we will still see beautiful inspiration on social media and as a Guest Alumni here in the future.

And before I go, a clean & simple thank you card dedicated to all I have mentioned above.

A one layer wonder combining Alphabet Outlined and the NEW Background Blocks Splatter. I've had this 'Thank You' stamped out for a while, waiting to be accented in some way. 

Today was the perfect day! I simply partially stamped the splatter in 3 colours of ink, inspired by the Uniko logo colours. Simples!

THANK YOU again.

Uniko 10th Birthday February 2022 Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Happy Sunday AND Happy Uniko 10th Birthday February 2022 Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway Day! 

The day we have all been waiting for. I do hope you have enjoyed all the celebrations this month and you have found time to join in on the quests. 

So without further ado, let's have a look at all the new products available at 10am GMT over on the website HERE.

First up we have two new additions to the Background Blocks series. These are both perfect for those often hard to make masculine cards, but I am sure you will see how they can be feminised too! 

Background Blocks Cogs £6

Background Blocks Splatters £6

It's been a while since the last addition to the BIG & BOLD Series and I thought this one would be a fun addition. As you can see it comes with a lot of mix and match sentiments. The fonts are the same as previously released BIG & BOLD stamp sets and I am sure there are others in the Uniko range that will pair nicely.

BIG & BOLD You £6

You know I am still crushing on this font. So it was essential to add some everyday sentiments for even more opportunities to use it!

Everyday Sentiments £6

Lastly for the stamp sets we have a new addition to the Framed series. Plus I wanted there to be something birthday focused in this release! Like the other Framed stamp sets this comes with the main frame image and some accent stamps. 

Framed - Balloons £11

This month we see the return of Fun Flowers. This stamp set originally released in 2016 and retired maybe a year or so ago, mainly to make room for new things. However, the time is right to bring this stamp set back as you will see shortly with the new stencil additions! 

Fun Flowers £6

The Uniko stencil collection is growing and these larger Flower Power ones are so fun. They also seem to be very on trend right now. I am excited to add Flower Power #7 to the series.

Stencil - Flower Power #7 £4

Next we have two stencils that coordinate and are inspired by the Fun Flowers clear stamp set. I am sure these along with the previously released Stencil - Fun Flowers will provide endless creative inspiration.

Introducing... BIG & BOLD You & Stencil Flower Power #7

 

 Hello & Thursday!

Welcome to Day 2 of the 10th Birthday February 2022 Release product introductions. If you missed day 1 you can catch up HERE. 

Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors have more creative inspiration to share as we introduce BIG & BOLD You & Stencil Flower Power #7.

The BIG & BOLD series of stamps has been slowly growing over the years and I am delighted it remains popular. There are lots of words coming to this series over the course of 2022, but today we see YOU being the focus. Personally I think this is a powerful word and great for encouragement cards and not just seasonal ones. I also think it pairs beautiful with the new Stencil - Flower Power #7 😉 

All the products will be available for purchase at 10am GMT Sunday 28th February 2022.

Okay, lets get to the good stuff...

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.
