You Can Never Have Too Much Joy

Happy Tuesday.

Thank you all for filling me with joy. 

All your lovely comments, support, love and orders, you have truly made this little Uniko business owner feel full of joy. It really is a dream come true to bring you my ideas and designs and to have them received so wonderfully by you. 

My heart smiles every time I see something I design used to make a card, tag or however you use it creatively. So thank you. 

Ok, now to some more inspiration. 





I shared this card late last night on Instagram, it was a fun filled day of order packing, but I did manage to squeeze in this card! I felt I needed to give BIG & BOLD Joy some inky love.




I love an ombre card & this came together pretty quick, even with the fussy cutting! I kept the embellishing simple with the little foliage image stamped in Evergreen and Parsley. The joys were stamped in Ballet Slipper, Poppy and Cranberry.




I had so much joy making this card, I went ahead and made another one today, which makes up for not giving this set the love on release day! 




Again I went for clean & simple, but I couldn't resist adding the Christmas sparkle. Once I heat embossed the sentiment I embellished with some stamped holly from Winter Foliage.




I hope these two cards bring you joy today.

The two highly requested, on trend returning from retirement clear stamp sets and three brand new clear stamp sets, our Guest this month Natalia and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors have been introducing this week are now available HERE on the website.

However, if you need some more inspiration persuasion get comfy and keep on reading. Before we get to the amazing blog hop, let me formally introduce these beauties...

Next we have another returning and highly requested clear stamp set, Pure Florals: Poinsettia. This was one of Uniko's first ever clear stamp sets that was originally released in November 2012. It might be 12 years old, but this beautiful festive floral is timeless and comes with a huge variety of mix and match sentiments.

The first of the brand new clear stamps is this frosty, yet fabulous addition to the Background Blocks series. I introduce you to Background Blocks Snow Flurry. This fun block features some of my favourite snowflake designs from Stunning Snowflakes & Framed - Snowflakes.

This next stamp set will no doubt bring joy to your festive card making. This bold joy makes for the perfect statement sentiment, but also pairs beautifully with lots of Uniko's previously released stencils and clear stamps. It also has the versatility to be more than just for Christmas card making.

Lastly, but by no means least we have a new addition to the fun Framed series, Framed - Fairy Lights. This clear stamp set is sure to bring sparkle and shine to your Christmas cards, but like you have hopefully seen during the countdown to release, it is perfect for other occasions too.

It's Beginning To Look Like... Introducing Framed - Fairy Lights

Happy Weekend!

Welcome to the final day of product introductions for our October/Novemeber Release. Today myself, Natalia (our guest this month) and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are introducing the next addition to the Uniko Framed series. 

I introduce Framed - Fairy Lights. 

One of my favourite things is hanging the fairy lights. I love the sparkle and twinkling and I think they really add to the magic of the season. I know I have brought a few versions of fairy lights in different clear stamp sets, but I think this is a wonderful addition to the Uniko line up.

 Let's have a look at what Natalia our guest and the Brand Ambassadors have created using this new clear stamp.

I am feeling so festive and I think I will be putting up the fairy lights in the conservatory this weekend! I really hope you have enjoyed this product introduction and all of the introductions this week, because the good news is, they will be available on the website tomorrow at 9am GMT. 

As usual we have our traditional Blog Hop & Giveaway, I do hope you will stop by and hop along with us.

Until tomorrow,

Today myself, Natalia our Guest and The Brand Ambassadors have another fun clear stamp addition to share with you. This one joins the BIG & BOLD series and I think it's such a lovely festive addition. Though I can see it working for a non festive card too.

It's Beginning To Look Like... Introducing Background Blocks Snow Flurry

Happy Thursday.

I hope you are enjoying the festivities so far this week here on the blog and social media? I am having a blast and I am so inspired by all the makes our Guest Natalia and The Uniko Brand Ambassadors have made.

So far this week we have reintroduced Christmas Pop and Pure Florals Poinsettia. Today we have the first brand new clear stamp to introduce, Background Blocks Snow Flurry.

Those who have been around these parts for some time, know I love a snowflake! I also hold each Uniko snowflake design dear and I just had to put some favourites into this fun background block design.

Let's have a look at what Natalia our guest and the Brand Ambassadors have created using this new clear stamp.






















So much beautiful snowflake goodness right there, I have a feeling this stamp is going to be a 'go to' this year to pair with so many other Uniko products. I hope you love it as much as I do and that you will join us tomorrow for another introduction.

It's Beginning To Look Like... Reintroducing Pure Florals Poinsettia

Hello & Happy Wednesday.

Myself, our Guest & the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are here to get you over the mid week hump with the second of FIVE product introductions for our October/November Release. If you missed the first you can catch up HERE.

I think this is the one many have been waiting for. Today I am delighted to be reintroducing, Pure Florals Poinsettia.

Pure Florals Poinsettia originally made its debut in November 2012. It was one of the first Christmas clear stamp sets I released here at Uniko and is back by popular demand!

Another delight is we have a wonderful Guest Brand Ambassador joining us for this release. If you follow me over on Seven Hills Crafts and their blog you may be familiar with Natalia. Natalia's style of paper crafting and card making always WOWS me, so I was delighted when she said yes to creating with some Uniko stamps. 

Let's have a look at what Natalia and the Brand Ambassadors have created using Pure Florals Poinsettia.






















This clear stamp set has a classic festive elegance to it and I think this hop really shows the beauty this set has to offer. 

I know you'll be seeing more of this in the coming weeks as I crack on with my Christmas card making! I'd love to know what you think. 

Until tomorrow,
