Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Mid Century Modern Monday

Good morning all, 

If you were present for our release at the beginning of August, you will be familiar with the Uniko Background Builders Mid Century Modern stamp set. I had a really great time playing with this set so I wanted to use it some more for my Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration post this month. I love background builder sets as there are so many different combinations, layouts, colours etc...to play with.

For my first card I simply stamped the line stamps three times down the card and infilled with the stamps as shown. To this I added a sentiment strip stamped using a sentiment from the Uniko Bauhaus Blocks stamp set. 

On my next card I wanted to use the stepped line so I stamped this four times and selected the various semi circles to stamp over the top. I have used chalk ink on all these cards (I'm a bit obsessed with it at them moment!) which gives a nice translucent effect. The sentiment is a mix of stamps from Uniko Mid Century Modern Wreath Builder and Uniko Mid Century Modern Everyday Sentiments stamp sets.

My final card is inspired by a search of Mid Century Modern Pattern and I absolutely love how it turned out! I have used a couple of other stamp sets to create the background. these being Uniko Mid Century Modern Florals and Uniko Mid Century Modern Birthday stamp sets.

Well I hope you have enjoyed this Mid Century Modern showcase as much as I enjoyed creating it! 

Now it's over to you to show us what you create with your new stamp set. Don't forget to show us over on the Uniko VIP Facebook page. 

Much love

Uniko August 2025 Reveal, Release, Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & GIVEAWAY!

Welcome! 

Yay! We made it to release day here at Uniko and now we can treat you to the full product pictures, along with some more fabulous inspiration using the new products. 

Background Builders Mid Century Modern

Background Blocks Bauhaus

Background Blocks MOD Circle Builder

Background Blocks Swiss Dots

Layering Retro Stripes Stencil

Ink & Flip Mid Century Leaves Stencil

Now for one more card created using a couple of my favourites from the above release.

I think I have to declare the Background Builders Mid Century Modern as my favourite because there are an infinite amount of design combinations to be had. I do rather like the other Uniko background builders sets so if you do to then this is the set for you. I stamped the semi circles and yellow and green shapes before adding the two 'tramlines'. I then thought, 'I wonder what this would look like with Swiss dots over the top'...luckily the Background Blocks Swiss Dots stamp fit neatly inside the two lines I had stamped...it was meant to be! 

Lots more fun to be had with these stamps and stencils and I will definitely be keeping these on my desk for a while longer and having a play!

But of course, the rest of the Uniko Brand Ambassadors have had a great time with these sets too and you can see this over on the Uniko blog. Join in with the blog hop and you could be in with a chance of winning a £25 eGift code for the Uniko store.

Uniko August 2025 Release - Introducing Background Builders Mid Century Modern

Hi all, 

Welcome to our first product introduction for the Uniko August 2025 release. Here we have Background Builders Mid Century Modern stamp set.

I have had a great time playing around with this stamp set which focuses on elements Mid Century Modern pattern design making it very easy to create beautiful backgrounds. I have teamed the stamp set with starburst elements from the Uniko Mid Century Modern Frames stamp set and Uniko Mid Century Modern Florals stamp set. 

As I was stamping my next card I thought about how these stamps from the set could be used on an Easter card...a thought to bank for later! This is a really great set if you like playing around with pattern. 

Pop over to the Uniko blog to check out what the rest of the Brand Ambassadors have created with this delightful stamp set.

Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Alphabets and Animals!

Good morning, 

Did I mention how much I loved the Uniko Alphabet Solid stamp set during the February birthday release? So, I have used this stamp set as my focus for my Uniko Brand Ambassador inspiration post this month and teamed it with Uniko's animal themed stamps, creating some 'play on words' sentiments to add even more fun! 

First we have a 'Hoppy' birthday card using the bunny from the Uniko Hoppy Easter stamp set and the birthday from the Uniko WILD stamp set (currently unavailable).

I'm particularly pleased with this daft sentiment! The cat stamp is from the Uniko Mid Century Modern Purrfect Day stamp set. The rest of the sentiment is made from parts from the 'From our home to yours' in the Uniko Festive Sentiments stamp set. 

And finally, also a slightly daft sentiment teamed with the paw print from the Uniko Paw Print Heart stamp set and a heart from the Uniko Falling Hearts Serenade stamp set. 

For all these cards I used VersaMagic chalk inks which give a nice effect to the silhouette style of these cards.

Thanks for visiting today.

Much love

Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Uniko Style

Good morning, 

Welcome to my Uniko Brand Ambassador inspiration post this month where I have chosen to use the fabulous Uniko Style stamp set. I chose this one because of Bev's super card on the latest release which reminded me of my love for this stamp!

I thought it would be nice to pair the stamp set with a variety of Uniko stencils and each one has turned out surprisingly different. 

For this card I have stamped the Uniko Style florals with chalk ink and paired them with Uniko Mid Century Modern Shapes Circles & Stars stencil. I inked the stencil onto green card using a slightly darker green ink and an orange/brown ink.

This time I used dye inks and teamed with the Uniko MOD Background Builder Circles stencil. I kept the design fresh by stencilling onto white card.

Finally I used pink card and stencil paste through the Uniko Quilted stencil for the background of this card. The florals are slightly different too as I have heat embossed the outline and centres onto pink card.

Hopefully these examples will have you dusting off the Uniko Style stamp set and digging out some stencils to have fun getting inky with. I always end up covered in ink when I stencil! 

As the first card is a masculine card I will be entering it into the AAA Birthday challenge Game #71.

I would like to enter my third card into the Addicted to CAS challenge #278 and Stencil Fun's March challenge.

Much love

Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration - Organic Wishes

Morning all, 

I am using Uniko Organic Wishes stamp set for my Brand Ambassador post this month. I have used it in both a light and dark setting to see what difference can be created. 

Firstly my ‘light’ card. I have teamed Uniko Organic Wishes with Uniko Natures Treasure stamp set. I have used chalk ink on both cards for better comparison.

My second ‘dark’ card uses the Uniko Organic Wishes stamp set as fireworks in the night sky. I have teamed it with Uniko Big & Bold Wish stamp set. 

So which do you like best?

Much love

Uniko Oct Release in Review

Morning all, 

Did you enjoy the wonderful and varied Uniko October release? Well we are back today with a release in review post as not all the Brand Ambassadors were able to take part on release day. 

Let’s have a recap of the fabulous products on this release:

Keeping to the order of the product pictures above, these are some more cards I made using them:

As always the Uniko stamps are fabulous quality and really versatile, easily matching with other Uniko products and other brands too. My absolute favourite from this release is the Remembrance set. Those poppies are so lovely to colour (in whatever medium you choose) and pack such an impact on the card. 

There’s lots more inspiration from the rest of the fabulous Uniko Brand Ambassadors over on the Uniko blog, or simply follow the links below. Leave some lovely comments and you could win yourself a £20 eGift voucher.

Uniko Oct Release Reveal, Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY!

I hope you have all been enjoying Bev’s introductions to the Oct release all this week? If you’ve missed any you can find them here, here, here and here!

So first for the product reveal today we have Uniko Big & Bold Thank / s / ful. This adds to the ‘Big & Bold’ series and has lots of elements to play around with to create the perfect sentiment.

BIG & BOLD thank/s/ful  £11

I thought the main sentiment might be big enough to hold my Wow! One Hundred and One embossing powder and thankfully (no pun intended) I was right as I hardly get to use this embossing ‘powder’. The grains are much larger than regular powder and it’s really hard to get it to stick to the embossing ink, plus it’s no good for detailed stamps. But it worked great here over my ink blended strip. I wasn’t intending on adding the die cut hearts but I managed to make a smudge to the top left just as I was finishing up (annoying!). 

Next up on the release we have Uniko Autumn Serenade which also adds to the lovely ‘Serenade’ series with its cascading beauty.

Autumn Serenade £11

Of course I had to use the colours of autumn here and I was able to carefully ink up different parts of the stamp in different colours before stamping onto the white card. I love the script of the word Autumn in this set too. 

Now for an addition to the florals in the Uniko store and this one is a beauty called Remembrance.

Remembrance £11

This is such a lovely stamp to colour (not so lovely to fussy cut though 😂). I have teamed it with a sentiment from the Uniko Simply Said Blocks II stamp set. 

And finally for this release we have an addition to the ‘Framed’ series in the form of Uniko Framed Snowflakes. 

Framed - Snowflakes £11

www.uniko.co.uk

My card is not that dissimilar to Bev’s on the introduction post but I can assure you we hadn’t seen each others cards before we made these!! I created a ombré ink blended panel onto which I heat embossed the Framed Snowflakes stamp. The sentiment is from the Uniko Christmas Wishes stamp set. 

And that’s it for the release this month but don’t forget to join in with the Brand Ambassador blog hop and you could win the entire release!

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #510

Hi everyone, 

Welcome to this week's Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #510. This week it's a Tic, Tac, Toe board which can be tricky but I like the added challenge! 

We reference Close To My Heart colour names but you can use any brand as long as you make a VERY close match. 

I chose the middle column of Sage, Pine and Shortbread. 

I used Sage and Pine to ink up the Uniko Background Blocks Layered Modern Floral stamp set. I layered this panel onto a Shortbread coloured card and added the sentiment to finish. 

There is some wonderful inspiration over on the Color My Heart blog so pop over there and check it out. 

Much love
