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 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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Don't forget to use the 10% discount code on your orders today, it is only valid until the end of the month! 



Now all of the formal introductions are done, how about we hop along with the Brand Ambassadors to be wowed some more and see how they have used their favourites from the release.


What a wonderful, creative and inspirational hop to bring the month of celebrations to a close. Thank you to all the Brand Ambassadors for wowing us with their creativity and to everyone who has hopped along, left comments and joined in on all the fun.

I've one last GIVEAWAY today, simply leave a comment on all of the stops along the hop for your chance to win £10 eGift Code* to spend in store. You have until Midnight Sunday 6th March 2022 to leave your comments.

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...
