Introducing... Originally Organic Flower Garden

Happy FriYAY!

Welcome to day 4 of the April 2025 product introductions. Be sure to check back if you've missed any of the introductions so far, they are definitely not to be missed! 

Today I am delighted to be adding to the Originally Organic series, one of my signature design styles, with Originally Organic Flower Garden. 

This clear stamp set features pretty flowers, stems and a flower garden border style image along with some sentiments in a different font style to my 'usual' Originally Organic clear stamps. A change is as good as a rest, so they say! 

Let's get to the good stuff and see this set in action...

All these pretty flowers really make me happy, so many different colouring styles and techniques. I think you can really make this stamp set your own. Plus, you can get different looks by mix and matching with elements and sentiments from the other stamp sets in the series. 

Again, be sure to hop along to see the inspiration from the team and leave some comment love.

This stamp set, along with all the products being introduced this week are available at 9am BST Sunday 27th April on the website. I will also have them with me at Crafterama Lincoln.

Introducing... Stencil - Layering Flower Fusion

 Hello & Happy Wednesday.

Welcome to day 2 of the April 2025 product introductions. If you missed the sneak peeks or day 1 introduction, you can catch up HERE and HERE.

I've been on a layering stencil kick recently and totally in floral mode too. I dug through some of my archives and came across some florals I had yet to use, so came up with two floral layering stencils. 

Todays Layering Flower Fusion is a fun 4 layer stencil, which I think you can have a lot of inky fun with. Let's have a look at it in action...

I love all the cheerful colours the Brand Ambassadors have used and the various techniques. Although to me this stencil instantly screams spring and summer, I think it will work all year round. Again, be sure to hop along to see the inspiration from the team and leave some comment love.

This stencil, along with all the products being introduced this week are available at 9am BST Sunday 27th April on the website. I will also have them with me at Crafterama Lincoln.

Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms and Organic Bloom Clear Stamps

Hello & Happy Wednesday! 

Welcome to day 4 of the Uniko 13th Birthday February Release introductions. Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are Introducing Stencil - Layering Organic Blooms and Organic Bloom Clear Stamps. 

I've fallen in love with designing layering stencils!! 

This time I couldn't resist adding an option of using a coordinating clear stamp set. Both products can be used on their own or paired together for even more options. 

Along with the designs being drawn in my organic style seen in clear stamps such as Originally Organic and Originally Organic Additions. The products have an element taken from the Papercraft Society Box I designed for CraftStash. Plus they have a lovely Scandinavian look to them.

Let's have a look...

Be still my Scandinavian loving heart! Such pretty inspiration evoking beautiful spring and summer vibes. 

Until tomorrow, Crafty Hugs

Happy Monday.

I hope you are enjoying all the festivities and inspiration so far, and I am delighted to be starting the week off with some Alumni Brand Ambassador inspiration from the one and only Rahmat Gouse.

Rahmat joined Uniko in September 2016 having been a avid follower, participant in Uniko challenges and customer. Rahmat soon fell in love with the Pure Florals collection and worked her beautiful colouring skills with the florals. 

So I am delighted to share some more stunning cards Rahmat coloured and made especially for today...

I love Rahmat's colouring, and fussy cutting, and creative talent brings these florals to life. Be sure to follow Rahmat on Instagram HERE if you use that social media platform.

January 2025 Release - Introducing... Layering Picked Posies Stencil

Hello & Happy New Years Eve 

I know it's a super busy time of year with all the celebrations, family & friend time. But I couldn't resist ending the year and starting the New Year with some new products. Hopefully you saw the sneak peeks I shared HERE yesterday, but if not be sure to go check them out.

Today myself and the Uniko Brand Ambassadors are kicking off the first of the introductions with a lovely, lovely floral layering stencil, Layering Picked Posies Stencil.

You might recognise this floral from the Exclusive CraftStash Picked Posies Collection I did for them back in late 2023. The flowers are unfortunately no longer available and because I know quite a few of you purchased the collection I didn't just want to re-release them here at Uniko. So I got to thinking how I could bring them to you all here, but differently.

Therefore, I bring you a 4 layered stencil that will work perfectly on its own, but will also pair beautifully with the Exclusive CraftStash Picked Posies Collection. Let's have a look at it in action...

I hope you love this stencil as much as I do AND as it is New Years Eve, I'll be giving one set of the stencils away to one lucky comment left on any of the blog posts & or across Uniko's social media posts to win this stencil set. 

Happy hopping & see you in 2025!

Uniko's Customer Top 10 of 2023 - Number 1

Happy New Years Eve.

I know that some of you down under have already entered 2024, but here in the UK we still have a few hours to go. Anyway, I'm here on this last evening of 2023 to share the product that topped them all, that was the most purchased product. 

Insert drumroll...

Yep, Background Blocks Linear, this simple background was the most purchased product this year. And it delights me that so many of you love it as much as I do. 

Here's what I made using it today...

With Mid Century Modern Florals already out on my desk, I decided to use them with the background to make this cute Happy New Year card.

I started with heat embossing the background in white onto kraft card. I then stamped the flowers in Grapefruit, Sorbet and Aqua Sky, again colours still on my desk! I then stamped the single leaf type petal from Mid Century Modern Florals to create these fun leaves in this lovely Parsley green. My chosen sentiment is from Simply Said Blocks Christmas.

So what do you think of this being the number one product? Thank you for joining me for this fun countdown to the New Year.

Beautiful Blooms & a Winner!

Hello & Happy Thursday.

I'm finally getting round to announcing the winner of the October 2023 Release in Review, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway we had HERE. I know I am late, I have a terrible memory 🙈 but better late than never, right? 

Anyway, before I get to the winner I have a card to share...

I was inspired to make this card with the recent restocks of Background Blocks Nautical Stripes and Beautiful Blooms II. I can't think that I have combined Beautiful Blooms I flowers with many Background Blocks, but I am almost certain I've not combined it with this one. But I am super pleased how well they go together. 

Background Blocks Nautical Stripes is pretty easy to line up and fill a strip down the front of a card base. I did use my stamping tool to make it a bit easier. I then stamped the blooms and leaves, adding some colour shading using the Rock 'n' Roll technique. The images are die cut using the Designer Dies Beautiful Blooms I. 

I finished with the smile die from Uniko's Exclusive Picked Posies Collection, only available at CraftStash HERE. 

Okay, so now onto the winner of the £20 eGift Code. I used Random name generator to select the lucky comment and the lucky one is...
