Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | Graduate with Sentimental Park

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah and to the May Stampin’ Dream Blog Hop. This month we are sharing Graduation card ideas. I have used the Sentimental Park and Petal Park stamp sets for my card. Do check out the list of blogs at the end of this post and hop through to get some more inspiration.

Most of the images on this card are from Sentimental Park., but I needed a flower for the top of that leaf, and so I reached for Petal Park and the coordinating punch. The punch cuts out all three of the flowers, and here I have stacked them to create a fun dimensional arrangement.

I have created a shopping list for this card, which you can find HERE

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Designer Series Paper

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month our technique is to use Designer Series Paper. I LOVE Designer Series Paper, I know some people struggle to cut their paper, but I really love to use it! Although, I like using little pieces… very much like on today’s card.

This card was inspired by THIS card by Kaylee Den Breejen. Kaylee’s card used coloured Designer Series Paper, but I am really enjoying using black and white at the moment, and the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.

The stamped image here is from the coordinating stamp set, Zany Zoo, coloured using Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends.

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for a fun blog hop; sharing lots of ideas using goodies from the New Annual Catalogue. At the bottom of this post you’ll find a list of other blogs to visit today, please do check them out and leave some comment love on your trip!

This card uses the brand new suite; Zany Zoo! I absolutely LOVE this suite, its cute and funny, and the Designer Series Paper is versatile and adorable! The Designer Series Paper has cute critters on one side, and fun black and white prints on the other.

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | Masking with Rays of Light

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Crafty Challenge Blog Hop. This month we had 5 different options, and I’ll admit at this point that I didn’t hit them all! We had In Colours, Masking, For You, 3×3 and Designer Series Paper.

I cut a piece of Basic White into a 3×3″ square, and masked off a 2″ circle in the centre. I then stamped the Rays of Light background stamp in Orchid Oasis, ink blended some Tahitian Tide on the edges and ink splattered some Parakeet Party.

The Hello is taken from the Biggest Wish stamp set, which I stamped and heat embossed before fussy cutting.

A simple card, but one for any occasion.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Watercolour with Irresistible Blooms from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop! I know, I sort of dropped the ball on blog hops in February… but April I am back, and raring to go! Things have been a little busy, and I’ve had a massive change in my day job (as in I’m currently waiting to start a new one, going back to shifts. I am SO excited!). Anyway, so that’s sort of meant that I haven’t had much brain space for crafting or blogging… but I know that I’m about to have more time again, and that feels amazing!

So, this month’s technique is Watercolour! This might be my most favourite technique… I just love getting inky and messy (in a controlled sort of way!), and making something totally unique every time. I’ve used the Irresistible Blooms stamp set and dies from the Online Exclusives, these are sort of limited edition and so if you LOVE them, I’d move fairly quickly to make sure you’re not disappointed.

Each of the flower was stamped and heat embossed in White before being watercoloured using a Stampin’ Up! reinker and a bit of water to keep the colours really vibrant. I’ve used Poppy Parade, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Balmy Blue and Gorgeous Grape.

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | Thank you Lovely Linen!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Crafty Challenge blog hop. This month we were given a number of different ideas and basically told to pick the ones we liked and felt inspired by, and then create! So that I what I did… Inspired by the terms; Sponging, Thank You, Pearls and Standard Horizontal.

I love this piece of Designer Series Paper, from Lovely Linen (Annual Catalogue) and I’ve sponged (well, ink blended because I couldn’t be bothered to dig out my sponges!), the edges with Evening Evergreen ink.

The Thank You is from Something Fancy, and die cut using the coordinating dies.

This card is finished with a little White Crinkle Seam Binding ribbon, and a trio of Iridescent Pearls.

Valentines Blog Hop | Love You a Bunch…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for today’s Valentines Blog hop. In the UK we tend to only send a single Valentines card to our partner… and this might be an option for the card I send my husband this year.

Valentines card ideas using Thanks a Bunch from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2023 with StampinByHannah

I’ve used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set, which is currently FREE as part of Sale-a-bration. I wasn’t sure about Carrots as a theme for stamps when I first saw it… but its a super fun set to stamp! Here I’ve stamped the carrots in So Saffron and Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral, but I’ve seen some fabulous purple carrots on Social Media too!

The background is something I’ve been meaning to try for ages. Such a simple idea, lines drawn with a Stampin’ Blend pen. I’ve used Light Old Olive for these (and I used a ruler), but I think I’d go darker and bolder next time.

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | Painted Poppies

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Stampin’ Dreams blog hop. This month our theme is ‘In Memoriam’ and so the only stamp set I could reach for was Painted Poppies. I love this stamp set for sympathy cards, its just so perfect.

One of the reasons I love the Painted Poppies stamp set so much is that it has 2 step stamping, with a couple of more solid images that you can use to ” colour” those floral and leaf stamps.

The coordinating dies are also fabulous, and I’ve paired it here with the Peaceful Moments for the sentiment

International Blog Highlight | Thank You Sun Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I haven’t joined in with the Blog Highlight for a little while, and I’ve really missed it! So, here we are, back again with a fun Thank You card I made on Sunday afternoon.

I love the Natures Prints stamp set and the coordinating dies (especially that wreath!) but I really struggle to get it used. So, I turned to a sketch I’ve used fair bit this year, of a layer of card stock and a layer of Designer Series Paper… and then had a play about with where the wreath could/should be…

The Sun Prints suite only has a few colours; Gray Granite, Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Starry Sky. Here I’ve used Gray Granite as the card base, and then stamped in Night of Navy.

Can you see, there are 5 Rhinetones on this card? But they are subtle as I’ve coloured them with a dark Night of Navy Blend pen. I love the effect!

If you love this card as much as I do… please consider voting for it over on Kylie’s blog.
