Birthday Release Day at Uniko

It's here, the February 2026 Birthday Release is finally available on the Uniko website HERE!

Before you dash off to get your hands on the new stash, we're having a bit of reprise of all the release along with a Blog Hop and GIVEAWAY!

But first, here are the details of all the items in the Birthday release and some more inspiration!

First up is Background Blocks Birthday Scramble, a fun, instant, sentiment block, a partner to the Christmas themed one from last year.

Here is a card using the new Layering Stencil, Retro Rainbow and Background Blocks My Favourite Colour is Rainbow.

For this card I used the stencil to create the rainbow, moving it slightly between layers to get the overlapping colours. The overlap isn't perfect but you get the idea of a more blended rainbow. Another fussy cut Cloud 9 stencil cloud hides any misalignments. The sentiment from the stamp set was simply stamped in black and the rainbow coloured appropriately with Copic markers.

Bev is very proud of her innovative Ink & Flip Stencils and this one going to be a firm favourite I'm sure. Retro Flowers is a two layer stencil. One for the flowers and one for the flower centers. They can be used together or individually for even more creative options.

For this card I used some leftover fussy cut blooms from yesterdays card and a few scraps of card and a Gelli plate print made at Art group that went wrong.

I just love the way the lime green Gelli pull shimmers, the acrylic paint I used must have had been pearlescent! I also used an new to me die set from The Greetery which cuts the pattern, mount AND base card. I'd seen Aryth Percy-Robb use this technique in one of her You Tube videos and as I only had a few blooms decided to try. I used 4 blooms in total, 2 cut up into halves and 1 into quarters and arranged them onto my green panel along with a fussy cut thanks from Simply Said Blocks. This was mounted onto one of my die cut white panels and then onto a slightly larger one, edged with some matching Picked Raspberry DI, finally adding the whole onto my die cut base card.

Introducing - Ink n Flip Retro Flowers Stencil

Morning all.

It's the final day of introductions for the Birthday release from Uniko.

Today we are focusing on Ink n Flip Retro Flowers. As you know Bev has devised this fab stencil series and this one is from the all over pattern section. This is a two part stencil, one for the blooms and one for the centers.

Here are a couple of ideas I came up with.

This card uses the stencil to create an all over pattern on an A6 white card panel, by inking one side then flipping to complete each item. I used a couple of DIs, Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry for the petals and Black Soot DI for the centers, just a lighter touch for the grey.

A Doodle Flower sentiment, white on grey, matted on white and black completes.

This second cards starts with a similar panel but this time I fussy cut the blooms out. I first did it without a white border but prefered to have a white border this time.

I used the stem stamp from Flower Power #4 to stamp the leaves and stalk in Altenew's Bamboo ink. Before adding the fussy cut blooms, I die cut the stamped panel to create a curve, as well as a similar panel of black card.

The black panel was glued under the stamped panel to create a border and then added to an A6 white base card. The sentiment was added using Birthday Sentiments in black and Seedless Preserve DI to match the stencilling.

So that's all from me for today but please check the rest of the team's blogs and Insta accounts to see what they've made!
