Spring Window

Happy Wednesday. 

Hold onto your Easter bonnets, I'm sharing a card where I dusted off the colouring pencils! Yep, I told you to hold onto them. 

I've actually had this card idea in my head for a while and I just needed to step out of my comfort zone and dust off those pencils. 

I've been following Kit & Clowder for a while and I've been taking a few of their light source tips on board. So I used those to colour this Spring Botanicals Daffodil.

It's far from perfect, but I am pleased how it turned out. Most of all I actually had fun and found it relaxing colouring.

Happy April.

Welcome to the March 2026 Non-Release Brand Ambassador Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Happy Tuesday.

Welcome to the March 2026 Non-Release Brand Ambassador Hop & GIVEAWAY! 

For those of you who are new around these parts I will explain what this post is all about...

Here at Uniko HQ it is just myself behind the screen, blogging, designing, packaging stamps & orders through the Uniko online shop, customer service and all the things in between. I *usually* release new product every other month or so, for a number of reasons, but mainly so I can keep up with everything!

On non - release months like this month I like to set myself and the Brand Ambassadors a challenge to look back at a previously released product and give it some more love. Plus, I think it's always nice to revisit older sets and provide more inspiration and not just from me.

This month I suggested choosing a favourite or favourites from either the January or February 2026 Releases. Let's have a look at what the team have chosen.

I always love seeing all the different products the Brand Ambassadors have chosen to use, so many wonderful techniques too. 

I know that a lot of clear stamps and stencils are currently out of stock, I have a bunch of restocks coming in the next week - two weeks.

I hope you left some comment love along the way, I will randomly select a comment to win the £20 eGift certificate to spend in store. I will announce the winner on Monday 13th April 2026.

Smile, it's Monday!

Happy Monday.

I love a brand new week, and after last week I am ready for a fresh one! And what better way than to start with a Spring card. It was a gorgeous day on Saturday, the sunshine was out, it was warm and a delight to be in the garden, even if it was hard graft. Just one more fence hole to dig out with the jack-hammer! 

Anyway, the sunshine and lighter days inspired my card today... 

I'm quite proud of myself that I chose some colours I wouldn't normally reach for. I started with a Sunflower card base, then I selected Spiced Cider to stamp the diamond detail from Background Builders Delightful Diamonds, plus the tulip from Flower Power #11. 

Of course I used Parsley for the stem & leaves, but in hindsight I should have used Avocado to match the enamel dots. Lastly I used the Smile sentiment from Organic Blooms.

If you fancy watching the process, you can catch it HERE over on the Uniko YouTube channel. 

Before I go today, have you seen the various workshops, aka Uniko Stamping Retreats that are available to book?

Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Floral Friday

Good morning lovely peeps. 

Steph here today with a look at some florals in the stencil form. Using the recent Uniko Ink & Flip Layering Retro Flowers stencil I have created two cards; one using the florals as a background and one where I have fussy cut the florals and teamed them with a couple of other Uniko stencils.

Using both the layering stencils I inked up a full panel of the florals. To this I added a sentiment from the Uniko Organic Blooms stamp set and some cute bee and ladybird toppers.

With the remaining florals I fussy cut them and added them to stems stencilled using the Uniko Layering Flower Fusion stencil, and butterflies created with the Uniko Butterfly Pattern stencil. A little addition of some Nuvo Drops and a sentiment from the Uniko Organic Blooms stamp set to finish the card.

Much love

Spring...

Isn't quite in the air today here in the North East of England. 

However, it's the theme of this months Uniko VIP Facebook Group challenge, so that's what I am sharing here too.

I still have lots of fussy cut flowers using the Ink & Flip Layering Retro Flowers Stencil and I am still having fun thinking of ways to use them.

Today I decided to pair them with the stem & leaves from Flower Power 1. And as it is Mother's Day here in the UK at the weekend, I decided to add this sentiment, which is a mix from Everyday Love Sentiments and Everyday Spring Sentiments.

As you can see I stamped the leaves in Parsley ink onto my card base and then adhered the flowers using foam tape. And of course a few enamel dots to the flower centres. 

That's all I have for today.
