Uniko's 14th Birthday Linky Party

 Hello everyone!

Happy Wednesday!

 

Today is Uniko's 14th Birthday officially. Simply create a birthday card using any Uniko products (current, retired or digital) and link up in the linky at the Uniko blog.

Now, let's have a look at the inspiration.....

Do you create your own designs using Geometric shapes?

This card featured simple geometric shapes with a limited color palette and clean lines. This was absolutely fun to create!

An abstract character built using layering the Bauhaus Spring Blocks Stencil and combining it with the MCM Background Builders stamp set using Jet Black archival inks, fossilized amber, and abandoned coral DO inks.

The sentiment is from the Bauhaus Blocks stamp set.

This creation explores balance, playfulness, and rhythm with a strong visual scene and is perfect for a birthday occasion.

I hope you enjoyed the retro abstract card design I created today, and are inspired to give them a try!

There is plenty of time to join in on the fun at Uniko.

The deadline for submission is 23:59 (GMT) on Sunday, 8th March 2026.

Brand Ambassador Birthday Inspiration Cards!

 

Hello everyone!

Happy Friday!

I am on Uniko Blog today! We are celebrating Uniko's 12th Birthday this month! Bev has so many surprises this month with some new releases, blog hops, and giveaways as well! 

I made two Birthday cards with CAS styles to celebrate this fab Birthday month!!

I have used the Background blocks Mid-Century Modern II design on a grey panel. I love this background block, it is so cool!

This is a great retro design for creating a card in one go. I heat-embossed the design using Wow Primary Ebony EP. I colored the semi-circle blocks using my Chameleon pens. Adhered that panel to another black panel on a grey card base.

The birthday sentiment completes the design from the Up & away stamp set.

Now my other card has some shimmery touch in pastel colors.

The white pearl embossing powder looks so well on this textured white paper. Again colored the semi-circle blocks using Chameleon pens. Adhered the white panel to shimmery peach CS and again on a textured white card base. The sentiment is from the Mid-Century Modern Frames set.

Simple card but perfect for celebrations! I hope you feel inspired to make some Birthday cards.

Celebrating You Today!

 Hello friends!

Happy Thursday!

I am excited to show my new collection with a 3D abstract style die! This is absolutely a versatile die with so many options and can be used for any celebration like Birthdays, holidays, weddings etc!

It can be used in a variety of card sizes too and a limitless color palette. This set contains 3 abstract-style layers with toppers to make any design easy. Wow, It's so pretty!

I started with 3 shades of cardstock: burgundy metallic, rose gold and dual-textured white CS. I die-cut 3 of each abstract design in each color. Then layered, easy peasy!

I laid my topper cover and filled my inlaid die-cuts using my imagination and color filling. I turned my slimline horizental.

I added a gold foiled sentiment with some poinsettia bunch of flowers.

Topping my flower centres with a few half-adhesive pearls!

Happy crafting!

Happy Succulents Birthday card

Hello friends!

Happy Wednesday!

I am popping in today to share with you this bright and cheerful Birthday card celebrating Uniko !0th Birthday, Many Congratulations Bev!

I just love how it popped against white. I stamped my image in DI and colored it with my Polychromos pencils. Then fussy cut the image. 

I die-cut double stitched rectangle panels 2 times. Then again die cut one of these rectangles stitched panels using stitched basic edges. And stamped some pinstripes using DI. 

And stamped the other one with Happy Birthday sentiment.

I used light purple CS for my basic CS. Then placed one of the stitched rectangle panels in the centre. Now arranged the other two panels with my bouquet of Happy succulent floral images using foam tape. I love how the succulents popped off with the stripes.

Finished it off with an enamel heart and some sequins.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
