Hi all,
It's the 15th of the month so that means we have a new colourboard for you. AAA Colourful colourboard #32.
Wonderful colours and I knew straight away which stamp set to reach for.
Morning everyone,
We have a great colourboard for you today with AAA Colourful challenge #27.
Just beautiful colours to work with here. I kept my card nice an simple using a stamp set I have had for a good while but not used recently.
There's lots of scope with these zingy colours and I look forward to seeing what you create. Join in over at the AAA Colourful blog.
Much love

Morning all,
For my Uniko Brand Ambassador post this month I thought I would focus on the Uniko Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder stamp set. I'm bringing attention back to this as a Uniko original design as yet again a large US craft brand has helped itself to some of Bev's design elements.
On this card I have stamped the wreath outline twice, rotating a little between stamping, and coloured with alcohol markers. To this I added some stamped and fussy cut berries and bows. Finally I stamped the sentiment and adhered using foam pads.
Here I have offset stamped the wreath using the outline and block stamps. I have added bows and berries stamped onto coloured card and shaded using alcohol markers. The sentiment has been stamped in blue and black ink giving and offset appearance.
For my final card I stamped the wreath using the block stamp only and onto white card. This was fussy cut before holly leaves and berries were added. The berries also have glossy accents added. Finally I used a piece of green card to add the sentiment.
I do love these mid century modern sets, there is so much possibility with them. I'd love to see what you are inspired to make and don't forget to tag Uniko in your projects too.
Much love

Hello!
Welcome to this month's challenge from AAA Colourful where we have a lovely colourboard for you.
When I first saw the colours I thought they lent themselves to a Christmas card so that's what I made!
I have used a stamp set from Clearly Besotted to create my card above which is a very simple stamp and colour with alcohol markers.
Will you create a Christmas card or can you imagine something different with the colours? Join in the fun at the AAA Colourful blog and see what wonders the rest of the Design Team have created.
Much love

Good morning,
Today at AAA Colourful challenge we have a very interesting colourboard for you:
I don't know about you but these colours were difficult for me...until I discovered this cute little stamp by Clearly Besotted in my stash. Green for the frogs, tick! And the rest of the colours used on the books and colouring pencil.
So what will you create with this colourboard? You can get plenty of inspiration from the rest of the AAA Colourful Design Team over on the blog, and I've noticed there are a few Halloween style cards in the mix...now why didn't I think of that?!
Much love

Good morning,
As this is a non release month at Uniko we are having a Brand Ambassador product revisit, blog hop and GIVEAWAY.
This month we are revisiting our favourite products from all those release so far in 2025, listed here for reference.
Wow there's more products there than I expected!
I decided to focus on Uniko Background Blocks Merry Christmas Scramble. For all my cards I stamped the Merry Christmas Scramble and masked it before stamping a series of background / frame stamps. For my first card I used another of the new release stamps, Uniko Background Blocks Swiss Dots
To finish my card I simply coloured the large letters in two shades of green.
I then wanted to see how the stamp would look with the Uniko Framed - Fairy Lights stamped around the large lettering.
For this card I fussy cut some extra letters and adhered them using foam pads.
And finally, I used the same method of masking and stamped the Uniko Framed - Holly over the top.
To make this image stand out more I also coloured outside the frame.
I hope you like this revisit and encourage you to follow the Brand Ambassador blog hop. If you leave lovely comments along the way you could win a £25 eGift code for the Uniko store.
Just a reminder that Bev is currently on holiday so any orders placed will be a little delayed in being sent.
And finally, today we also have a new challenge over on the Uniko VIP facebook page. If you enter a card, you could win a £10 eGift code to spend in the Uniko store.
Much love

Well hello!!
We have finally arrived at our last introduction on this super Christmas in July release and it is a stamp set that is going to be the last addition to the Flower Power series. This is Flower Power #12.
It's funny how sometimes you see a stamp set and immediately know what your want to create with it, and for me this stamp set wanted to be made into a wreath! Now granted, my spacing could have been better but time has been a bit scarce lately otherwise I would have remade it with perfect spacing...because I have some sort of evenness OCD. But, lacking time since we are on school holidays and having been so busy on the run up to them breaking up, you will have to love it for it's flaws and all!
I like to use the Flower Power stamp sets to create beautiful CAS cards so that is what I did here. Adding a little wink of stella to the flowers and a small dot of enamel drop to the centres. Do you remember the sentiment from earlier in the week?!
Now pop over to the Uniko blog and check out the wonderful designs from the rest of the team who have been super creative with this stamp set.
Don't forget that we have the reveal, blog hop and GIVEAWAY tomorrow!
Much love

Hi there,
Welcome to our penultimate introduction on the Uniko Christmas in July release. Today we introduce a very cute background blocks stamp.
Being a little short on time, I simply stamped in black and coloured my Christmas lights in colours that I remember my parents having Christmas lights in back in the 80's!
