Seasonal Stencil Sunday - Double Ink & Flip

Happy Sunday.

Today I have a seasonal stencil Sunday card to share with you, a double Ink & Flip Christmas Tree card. I've had this idea to pair the new Ink & Flip Christmas Tree Pattern with one layer of the older Layering Geometric Christmas Tree.

And it turned out just how I imagined. 

I went for some non-traditional colours for this card, using Concord & 9th Grapefruit and Sorbet for the background pattern, then Eucalyptus and Rainforest for the focal tree. 

The focal tree is adhered to the card using foam tape and I finished with a sentiment from Simply Said Blocks Christmas stamped in VersaFine Clair Morning Mist and a trio of Sorbet enamel dots.

I think there is a lot of fun to be had with this combination of stencils with colour and texture. If you fancy watching how this card came together I have a short over on the Uniko YouTube Channel HERE.

Have a lovely Sunday.

Brilliant Bank Holiday Bargains!

Hello & Happy Monday.

It's a holiday Monday here in the UK and I thought I would have add some bargains to the SALE page on the website.

I've a few items that are overstocked and taking up space thats needed for restocks and the next release in the autumn. Be quick as they'll return to normal price on Tuesday morning! 

And here is a couple of cards using a couple of the Bank Holiday Bargains...

Background Builders: Seeing Stars is one of the Bank Holiday Bargains and it is such a fun set for all occasions. I decided to create this simple Congratulations card.

I chose my favourite trio of Honeysuckle, Buttercup, Oceanside and added in Midnight. I then popped the stamped panel onto my card base using foam tape. 

I created a little reel making this card, which I have shared over on the Uniko Instagram page HERE. 

I enjoyed this layout and colour scheme so much I decided to keep it the same for my second card using Organic Blooms.

Again I have another video making this card which I have shared as a YouTube Short over HERE. 

I love both cards, but I think the Seeing Stars card is the one I prefer, I think it's the straight lines of the geometrics that appeal to me. 

Which card do you prefer?

Before I go, a little friendly reminder.

Introducing... Background Builders Mid Century Modern

Happy Tuesday. 

Welcome to day 1 of the Uniko August 2025 Release product introductions. I have been so excited about these new products being added to the Mid Century Modern Collection. It's a collection I love and I've put a lot of thought and effort into, so to be able to bring more creative possibilities brings me so much joy. 

Enough chat, let's have a look at this stamp set in action.

August 2025 - Sneak Peeks

Hello & Happy Monday!

Here at Uniko we are kicking off a new week with MORE Sneak Peeks for another mini New Release! So I don't normally do two product releases so close together, but as I will be on vacation for two and a bit weeks in September, I simply couldn't wait until late September to bring you these new products! They really are that good.

So let's get to the sneak peeks 😃

If you LOVE Uniko's Mid Century Modern & Bauhaus style products, these first three peeks will be right up your street! 

They are fantastic on their own, but combined with the previously release products they are going to up level and bring fresh and exciting creative possibilities. 

This first peek is of a fun Background Builder stamp set with lots of fun Mid Century Modern elements. 

The next peek is of a fun Background Block, you know I love a good instant pattern! 

You might recognise the pattern in this next peek from a previously released and popular stencil design. This is the stamp version.

Next we have a basic pattern, but one I think has been missing from the Uniko product line up for a while.

The next peek is of a new layering stencil and if you love anything retro, this is a must have! 

And lastly, but by no means least I have another Ink & Flip Pattern Stencil with a retro twist too.

That wraps up the peeks and I am sure there will be something for everyone. I do hope you will find time to join myself and  most of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors from tomorrow as we start the introductions.

All these products will be available at 9am BST Sunday 10th August 2025.
