Uniko 14th Birthday February 2026 Release - Introducing...Background Blocks Birthday Scramble

Hi there

It's the first day of the Uniko 14th Birthday Release introductions.

It's another mini release so the team are showcasing one new product each day this week.  And first up is another newcomer to join the Background Blocks...Background Blocks Birthday Scramble.

For this card I decided to do some paper piecing...

I stamped the whole image in black onto a die cut panel and then stamped parts of the image onto different patterned papers from the same paper pad.  I fussy cut these out and adhered them onto the letters and images on the main panel.  The panel was then adhered to the card base on fun foam.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Background Blocks Birthday Scramble
• Ink: Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye - Quite Contrary (free with publication many years ago)

For lots more inspiration from the rest of the team using this new stamp, please do visit the Uniko blog, here.  I'll be back tomorrow to introduce another of the new products.

All the new products will be available from Saturday 28 February 2026 at 9am GMT.

I hope you'll pop back over the next few days to check out the other new products.

Uniko January 2026 Release - Introducing...Stencil - Ink & Flip Butterfly Pattern

Hi there

I hope you're enjoying the Uniko introductions this week for the January Release.

I promised you another Ink & Flip intro today and here it is....Ink & Flip Butterfly Pattern.

I've used part of the stencil here and added stamped images from the Butterfly Serenade, Flower Power #9 and Anniversaire Arts Decoratifs stamp sets...

This stencil does produce an all over background pattern but I chose to select just five butterflies to blend.  The stencil does just one half of the butterflies and is then flipped to create the opposite halves.  On a die cut panel I ink blended the wings in two shades of ink.  I then stamped two small butterflies in the same two shades from the Butterfly Serenade set, the flight trails from the Flower Power #9 set and the sentiment from the Anniversaire Arts Decoratifs set. The panel was then adhered flat to the card base.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Ink & Flip Butterfly Pattern
• Stamps: Uniko - Butterfly Serenade, Flower Power #9, Anniversaire Arts Decoratifs
• Ink: Altenew - Chamomile, Lagoon; Versafine Clair - Morning Mist, Nocturne
• Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles

For lots more inspiration from the rest of the team using this lovely stencil, please do visit the Uniko blog, here.  I'll be back tomorrow to introduce the last product from this mini release.

All the new products will be available from Saturday 31 January 2026 at 9am GMT.

I hope you'll pop back tomorrow and then on Saturday to see the release reveal in full.

Uniko September 2025 Non-Release Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Good morning!

Uniko have another blog hop and giveaway for you this month.  Bev is currently having a well-earned break so there is no new product release this month.

By commenting along the way, you could be the lucky person that wins a £25 eGift code to spend in the Uniko store.

I chose the lovely stamp set, Originally Organic Flower Garden...

This stamp set was released back in the Spring so I decided to use it again and put an autumnal spin on it.  I simply stamped the image in Copic friendly ink and then coloured using autumnal shades for the flowers and leaves.  I stamped the sentiment below in black and then framed the image using a rectangular scalloped frame die cut.

Materials used:

Uniko August 2025 Release - Introducing...Background Blocks Swiss Dots

Good morning

More from Uniko this morning and it's the introduction of a stamp which I think will be super useful in any crafter's stash - Background Blocks Swiss Dots.

I have two cards for you today, one using the stamp as a background and another using it as the main focal point.

Here's the first and I've used it with the floral image from Pure Florals Cosmos and a greeting from Organic Blooms...

I began by stamping the Cosmos on a white cardstock panel and colouring with Copics.  I then masked the image before stamping the background dots in a gradient of three shades of aqua/teal.  I then stamped the greeting in black ink before matting and layering onto some co-ordinating lilac cardstock, flat to the card base.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Background Blocks Swiss Dots, Pure Florals Cosmos, Organic Blooms
• Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Altenew - Dew Drops, Aqualicious, Teal Cave; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Coloured with Copics
• Cardstock from stash

For my second card I made the dots the focus and added a sentiment from the Simply Said Blocks II set...

On a die cut panel I started by stamping and heat embossing the dots in white.  I then masked around the rectangle and ink blended with three shades of Distress Oxides, the dots resisting the ink.  I then wiped over the design with a soft cloth to remove any excess ink on the dots.  The panel was adhered flat to the card base and I then stamped and cut out the sentiment and finished with some co-ordinating enamel dots.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Background Blocks Swiss Dots; Simply Said Blocks II
• Ink: VersaMark; Distress Oxide - Kitsch Flamingo, Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Embossing Powder: Brutus Monroe - Alabaster
• Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles
• Accents: Doodlebug Sprinkles - Limeade, Blue Jean and Bubblegum Assortments

To see more projects using this versatile stamp, pop on over to the Uniko blog, here.  I'll be back tomorrow to introduce the final two products included in this release.

All the new products will be available from this coming Sunday, 10 August 2025 at 9am BST.

I hope you're enjoying these showcases and would love you to pop back tomorrow.

Uniko Flippin' Fabulous Ink & Flip Masculine Inspiration Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hi there

Yes, I'm still here!  So sorry for the silence, it's been a busy couple of months so I've not managed to find time for any crafting but I'm back today to join in the finale of the masculine themed month with Uniko.

Today the team are showcasing the Ink & Flip stencils and giving them a masculine touch.

And, by visiting each of the Brand Ambassadors along the hop, starting at the Uniko blog, here, as well as commenting on our socials, you're in with a chance of winning an Ink & Flip stencil of your choice.  

I have two stencilled cards to share today, one using an Ink & Flip stencil and another using another stencil from Uniko.

Ok, here's my first where I've chosen the Ink & Flip Christmas Star as it offers a fantastic central focal point for any card...

I inked up both sides of the stencil, first in Pumpkin Pie ink and then with Dusk ink, which created the star and a darker green shade where the the colours overlap.  Next I stamped the sentiment from the Mid Century Modern Birthday stamp set in a darker blue, and then finished with the Background Blocks Linear image stamped in each corner in black.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Ink & Flip Christmas Star
• Stamps: Uniko - Mid Century Modern Birthday; Background Blocks Linear
• Ink: Altenew - Pumpkin Pie, Dusk, Desert Night; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

And for my second masculine make I've used the Mid Century Modern Circles & Stars stencil...

This love using the shifted stencil technique with this stencil, it creates the illusion of so much dimension on a flat panel.  So I began with a dark orange panel of cardstock and inked through the stencil in a dark blue ink.  I then shifted the stencil slightly downwards and to the right and then inked through again with a white pigment ink.  This created the lighter blue and makes the original inking look like shadows.  I die cut the panel and adhered it flat to my card base then found an unused die cut circle in my stash so stamped the sentiment from the Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments set in black. The card was finished with some co-ordinating enamel dots.

Materials used:

• Stencil - Uniko - Mid Century Modern Circles & Stars
• Stamps: Uniko - Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments
• Ink: Altenew - Dusk; Hero Arts - Unicorn; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles; circle from stash
• Accents: Doodlebug Sprinkles - Tangerine and Blue Jeans Assortments

Thanks for visiting today and good luck if you comment along the hop.  

I appreciate you looking and plan to be back again very soon :)

Uniko May 2025 Non-Release Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway!

Good morning!

Uniko have another blog hop and giveaway for you this month.  Bev gets so busy as she runs Uniko single-handedly so on the months where there isn't a new product release, she likes to mix things up a bit.

So this month she has challenged myself and my fellow Brand Ambassadors to choose a favourite or favourites from any of the 2025 releases to date and to share our projects in this blog hop.

By commenting along the way, you could be the lucky person that wins a £25 eGift card!

I found it difficult to pick just one product as my favourite, so I chose two, both of which happen to be layering stencil sets.

First up, I just had to ink up the Layering Picked Posies again...

I wanted to use the stencils to create a border so I found a scalloped stencil mask in my stash and used that to mask the centre of my card base.  I ink blended around the border so it had a definite edge but didn't want it to interfere too much with the pattern so used a very light hand.  I then inked through the various elements of the stencils to create the floral border.  I chose to fill the central area with a larger sentiment from the Birthday Wishes stamp set and then finished by adding a few co-ordinating jewels.

Materials used:

• Stencils: Uniko - Layering Picked Posies; Clearly Besotted - Small Scallops
• Stamp: Uniko - Birthday Wishes
• Ink: Distress Oxide - Salvaged Patina, Lost Shadow, Peacock Feathers, Scattered Straw, Tumbled Glass; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Accents: Little Things from Lucy's Cards - Jewels: Shimmer Pool and Lemon mixes

And as I loved the Layering Bright Butterflies, I inked them up again to create this one...

I inked up all three butterflies using the layering stencils and then fussy cut them out.  I used the Cloud 9 stencil to add clouds with white ink to the blue cardstock background.  I adhered all the butterflies to the card base, overlapping them and using some 3D foam for some dimension.  I finished by heat embossing the sentiment in white on a black strip, which is from the Originally Organic Flower Garden stamp set.

Materials used:

• Stencils: Uniko - Layering Bright Butterflies, Cloud 9
• Stamp: Uniko - Originally Organic Flower Garden
• Ink: Distress Oxide - Saltwater Taffy, Festive Berries, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers; Versafine Clair - Nocturne; VersaMark; Hero Arts - Unicorn
• Embossing Powder: Wow! - Opaque Bright White

Be sure to leave some comments on the Brand Ambassador blogs or social media.  You can find all the links over at the Uniko blog, here.  By leaving comments along the way you will be in with a chance of winning the eGift card.  Bev will randomly choose a winner on 26 May 2025.

Thanks for visiting today and please do visit my fellow Brand Ambassadors, not only to comment, but I'm sure you can find some crafty inspiration from them.

Good morning!

It's release day over at Uniko and I'm here to reveal the whole release and share another card.

Here's the final card I made, combining elements from two of the new products...

I decided to go super clean and simple with this one.  I started by stencilling two of the solid leaf images from the Flower Fusion stencil set in three shades of Distress Ink and then stamped over these with the linear leaves image from the Originally Organic Flower Garden stamp set.  I die cut and mounted this on 3D foam on a larger co-ordinating green die cut from the same square dies set and adhered to my card base.  Finished the card with a greeting, also from the Originally Organic Flower Garden set.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Originally Organic Flower Garden
• Stencils: Uniko - Layering Flower Fusion
• Ink: Distress Ink - Wild Honey, Peeled Paint, Forest Moss; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Uniko April 2025 Release - Introducing...Originally Organic Flower Garden

Hi there

Continuing with the new introductions from Uniko.

Today we are introducing a new addition to the Originally Organic series...Originally Organic Flower Garden.  It works brilliantly with the existing products in the range too.

Here's my first card using one of the main images from the set...

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Originally Organic Flower Garden
• Ink: VersaMark; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Embossing Powder: Brutus Monroe - Alabaster White
• Watercoloured with Derwent Inktense pencils

And my second card I used other images from the set...

I stamped the flowers first, then masked them before in turn stamping and masking the leaves.  I then coloured the images with Copics.  A greeting from the set was stamped in black and I finished with some pale yellow sprinkles.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Originally Organic Flower Garden
• Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Uniko April 2025 Release - Introducing...Ink & Flip Delightful Diamonds

Hi guys

I'm back to share more newness from Uniko and today the team are introducing another, yes Bev has designed another, Ink & Flip stencil...this time Delightful Diamonds.

This is just one stencil, so it has no central focal design but it creates really striking backgrounds, or can be masked to just use part of it.

Here's my first card and I paired it with a sentiment from the Simply Said Blocks set...

For this one I began with a piece of white cardstock and I inked through one side of the stencil using Distress Oxide in Villainous Potion.  I then cleaned off the stencil and flipped it.  I then squished some of the same ink onto a mat and mixed it with some pearlescent stencil paste and spread it over the stencil to create the second part of the pattern.  It's hard to believe this paste is mixed with the same colour of ink!  I cut along the edge of the panel following the pattern and then adhered the cut piece to my card base.  It was then simply finished with a stamped sentiment.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Ink & Flip Delightful Diamonds
• Stamp: Uniko - Simply Said Blocks
• Ink: Distress Oxide - Villianous Potion; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Paste: Sweet Poppy - Stencil Dimensions Pearlescent White

And now for my second card, also using a sentiment from the Mid Century Modern Birthday stamp set...

Now, I'm not going to lie...the inking of this one took me ages and I went through many post-it notes making off the different sections to ink blend each colour.  And I used a card from my Color Cubes as inspiration for this colour palette.  You can see this in the photo below.  I didn't have the exact shades to match but close enough.  I wasn't sure if this worked but liked it a lot more once I'd stamped the bold sentiment.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Ink & Flip Delightful Diamonds
• Stamps: Uniko - Mid Century Modern Birthday
• Ink: Memento - Paris Dusk, Cantaloupe, Lilac Posies; Altenew - Polar Bear, Aqualicious; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

If you'd like to see more examples of projects using this new stencil, take a look at the Uniko blog, here.  My teammates are sharing some great makes.

I'll be back tomorrow to introduce another great new stamp set.

And don't forget, all the new products will be available from next Sunday 27 April 2025.

Uniko April 2025 Release - Introducing...Stencil Layering Flower Fusion

Hi there

It's the second day of the new product introductions from Uniko.

Today, the team are showcasing a new set of layering stencils...Layering Flower Fusion.

I love this set.  You can use all the separate stencils to build a background pattern or just select parts of it to create unique designs.

Here's my first card using the set and for this one I used all four stencils, and a sentiment from the new Butterfly Serenade set that was introduced yesterday...

This was super simple to create, I just used each of the stencils in turn to create the background design.  And I kept it a one layer card by stamping the sentiment in black over the background at the end.

Last year I treated myself to the Color Cubes by Sarah Renae Clark and this was the first time I put them to use to determine my colour palette.  I've have used them a few more times for cards I made for this release and will be sharing them in my upcoming posts.

Materials used:

• Stencils: Uniko - Layering Flower Fusion
• Stamp: Uniko - Butterfly Serenade
• Ink: Altenew - Evergreen, Warm Sunshine, Polar Bear, Misty Morning; Memento - Cottage Ivy; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Accents: Doodlebug Sprinkles - Bumble Bee Assortment

And for my second card I selected various images from the stencils to create a CAS design, using a sentiment from Simply Said Blocks...

I inked three of the flowers in two shades of Distress Oxide and then just one of the leaf sprigs, also with two shades of ink.  I also added the flower centres using the tiny dots in the stencil.  I die cut a stitched panel and stamped a sentiment against the edge, before adhering the panel flat to my card base.

Materials used:

• Stencils: Uniko - Layering Flower Fusion
• Stamp: Uniko - Simply Said Blocks
• Ink: Distress Oxide - Festive Berries, Saltwater Taffy, Dried Marigold, Peacock Feathers, Salvaged Patina; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Double Stitched Rectangles

My fellow Brand Ambassadors have made some beautiful cards using this set, you can see more at the Uniko blog, here.  I'll have more to share tomorrow so please do pop back if you are able.

All the new products will be available from next Sunday 27 April 2025.

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

Happy Wednesday

Welcome to day three of the Uniko new release introductions and today the team are introducing a new layering stencil set and co-ordinating stamp set.

You can use these independently and also together where you use the stencils to colour the stamped images.

For my first card I've used just the stencil set, together with a greeting from the stamp set...

I simply used the stencils to create the floral design directly on the card base.  I then used a curved die to cut the corner piece where I stamped the sentiment.  I added some co-ordinating sprinkles to finish the card.

Materials used:

• Stencils: Uniko - Layering Organic Blooms
• Stamps: Uniko - Organic Blooms
• Ink: Altenew - Wisteria, Ultraviolet, Andromeda, Minty Mint, Sweet Leaf; Versafine Clair - Nocturne
• Die: Avery Elle - Dotted Borders Die
• Accents: Little Things from Lucy's Cards - Sprinkles: Wisteria

And now my second card where I used just the stamp set...

On a die cut panel I stamped the flowers and leaves, using some masking.  I then coloured the image with Copic markers.  I stamped the sentiment, also from the set, onto a vellum strip and heat embossed in white before adhering this from the edge of the panel.  The panel was then adhered flat to the card base.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Organic Blooms
• Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black; VersaMark
• Coloured with Copics
• Embossing Powder: Brutus Monroe - Alabaster
• Die: Create a Smile - Cool Cuts Scalloped Rectangles

And I have one more where I've combined the stencil set with the stamp set...

I stamped a row of the flowers, masking so I could overlap them.  I then used the stencils to ink blend each flower, also using the masks where there were overlaps.  I kept this one really simple and just added a sentiment and nothing more.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Organic Blooms
• Stencils: Uniko - Layering Organic Blooms
• Ink: Memento - Tuxedo Black; Altenew - Rubellite, Pink Diamond, Maple Yellow, Citrus Burst; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

I hope you're enjoying all these introductions this week, I'll be back tomorrow with the final introduction before revealing the entire release on Friday, when the products will be available to purchase.

It's been a long time since I went super simple with a card and I love this one layer card.  It consists of just four stamps.  Two letters from the Alphabet Solid set, together with an additional heart, sentiment and one single gem.

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Alphabet Solid, Background Builders Hearts, Always & Forever

Again, I just adore how this turned out.  Clean and simple designs make my heart happy!  I blended the flower off the edge, using three shades of Distress Ink.  Stamped two letters from the Alphabet Solid set and the remainder of the greeting in black ink.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Flower Power #4

Uniko Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing...Stencil Layering Bright Butterflies & Re-Introducing Bright Butterflies Clear Stamps

Hi there

More introductions today from the upcoming new release from Uniko.

Bev has used a previous stamp set as inspiration for this gorgeous new layering stencil set...Bright Butterflies.  And even better....she's bringing back the Bright Butterflies stamp set too!

These stencils create the most beautiful butterflies, three in total, together with additional design elements.

Here's my first card using the stencils, and I've used them here with stamps from the Happy Days and Just Because stamp sets...

I've used the stencils to create two different butterfly designs and then fussy cut them out.  On my card base I've stamped foliage from the two stamp sets in shades of grey and the sentiment in black ink.  The bodies of the butterflies are adhered flat to the card base and I've used narrow thickness 3D foam to adhere the wings and add a little dimension.

• Stencils: Uniko - Layering Bright Butterflies
• Stamps: Uniko - Happy Days, Just Because
• Ink: Altenew - Puffy Heart, Hydrangea, Andromeda, Mountain Mist, Lagoon, Galactic Stream, Limestone, Industrial Diamond; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

And now my second card using the returning Bright Butterflies stamp set...

I began with a die cut panel and stamped the three butterflies in similar tones, but getting brighter from bottom to top.  I masked the lower and upper butterflies and stamped the cloud from the Sunshine and Rainbows stamp set.  I then used a stencil from my stash to ink blend the sun rays.  I finished by stamping the sentiment and flight trail from the set in black ink,

Materials used:

• Stamps: Uniko - Bright Butterflies, Sunshine & Rainbows
• Stencil: Clearly Besotted - Sunny Day
• Ink: Altenew - Blush, Coral Bliss, Ruby Red, Morning Frost, Warm Sunshine; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

Uniko Celebrating 13 Years - Introducing...Stencil Geometric Happy Birthday

Hi there

It's day one of the introductions from the latest Uniko release.  Bev has some great new additions coming up.

We're kicking off with a new stencil.  This one is initially being offered as a freebie with any orders over £15, prior to it being a new addition to the product catalogue.

This stencil is great for masculine makes and when I first saw this it was giving me camouflage vibes. 

So that's the route I took for my first card, a jungle theme.  Here I used it with three other Uniko stencils...Tropical Leaf #1, Tropical Leaf #2 and Tiger Print (no longer available)...

I began by stencilling the Happy Birthday in three shades of brown/grey ink.  I then masked the words and inked up the other stencils surrounding it.  

Materials used:

• Stencils: Uniko - Geometric Happy Birthday, Tropical Leaf 1, Tropical Leaf #2, Tiger Print
• Ink: Distress Ink - Pumice Stone, Frayed Burlap, Ground Espresso, Peeled Paint, Rustic Wilderness, Rusty Hinge

And now my second card and this one shows that it's not just for masculine cards.  Here I framed the greeting with stamps from the Background Builders Squared and Background Builders Triangulate...

I simple inked through the Happy Birthday with pink and blue ink, creating the lilac where the inks blended.  Then simply stamped two borders above and below in black.

Materials used:

• Stencil: Uniko - Geometric Happy Birthday
• Stamps: Uniko - Background Builders Squared, Background Builders Triangulate
• Ink: Distress Ink - Kitsch Flamingo, Salty Ocean; Versafine Clair - Nocturne

For lots more inspiration from the rest of the team using this stencil set, take a look at the Uniko blog, here.  I'll be back tomorrow to introduce two more products from this new release.

All the new products will be available from Friday 28 February 2025.
