Facebook Live | Butterfly Gala

I had SO much fun with the Brand New Butterfly Gala stamp and punch bundle on this mornings Facebook Live! I do a Facebook Live every Sunday… this week was a little rushed as I was also in the middle of icing a cake and prepping for a Sunday Roast for 10 people… but I didn’t want to miss my first Facebook Live of 2019!

This week I have been so inspired by the Butterfly Gala stamp set, particularly because it has a fabulous matching punch!

Hand made Butterfly Thank You Card  using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! for Facebook Live with StampinByHannah

The first card I made this was was this simply stamped Thank You card, CASE’d from THIS CARD made by my lovely friend Verity! Verity made this card using Black card stock and ink, but I have to say I’m a much bigger fan of something a little softer (most of the time) and so swapped the Basic Black for Night of Navy. Check out the video for how I coloured those butterflies!

Butterfly Gala is part of the Gingham Gala suite in the new Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer Catalogue. I have a fun Launch Party taking place next weekend (with Make and Takes that I will share next week!), and a fun Card Class using the suite on the 22nd January too! I would LOVE to see you at my 2019 events

Tone on Tone stamping with Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with Facebook Live with StampinByHannah

The second card today was inspired by my other friend Jill, who made THIS CARD back in December. I loved the look of the Butterflies stacked on top of each other on Jill’s card, and just had to give it a StampinByHannah twist. Here the 6 butterflies are stamped Tone on Tone in 3 colours; Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Balmy Blue. I really love this soft look, not something that would be in my usual style!

Yes, it is World Card Making Day… and to celebrate I did a special Facebook Live! (Special because I usually go Live on a Sunday Morning, but we are off to see our new Niece tomorrow…. so pulling it forward a day seemed the right thing to do!).

How to make a fun wreath Birthday Card using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The first 2 cards used the same design, but both show how you can completely change a card by changing which stamp set you use! The 1st Christmas card uses the Peaceful Noel Stamp Set, with the Birthday version features Petal Palette. Both use the Merry Christmas Thinlits and Joyeous Noel Glimmer Paper.

InspireCreateChallenge Best Wishes Floral Card Facebook Live using Stampin' Up! Products

I pulled out this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenges Colour palette for this 3rd card…. along with the First Frost Stamp Set. I LOVE how this turned out… seeing as I had NO IDEA what I was going to make before I started!

An Oops!, An Update and some Happy Mail!

StampinByHannah An Oops!, An Update and some Happy Mail!

An Oops!

Hello! So, I have a bit of an Oops! for you today… I had planned to restart my Christmas Countdown series this week. But, for several reasons I haven’t managed to get the video filmed and uploaded. This is partly down to my poor planning, but also, do you remember on Monday I promised a video, and that it’s also yet to be seen….. yeah, well, I’m having some upload issues. I should have them resolved over the weekend (when I’ve worked out what is going wrong) and I WILL have extra videos for you next week to make up for it! PROMISE!

An Update

Happy Mail!

I LOVE getting cute things in the post, and last week I received 2 gorgeous cards from some of my Stampin’ Sisters…. and I just HAD to share them with you too….

Share what you love friend card from Janice Thomson

This lovely card was sent to me by the gorgeous Janice Thomson of Jazzle Dazzle crafts, as a Thank You for organising out Team Blog Hop a few weeks ago. I LOVE doing these, and Thank You cards are really not necessary, but it’s still always nice to get something through the post! Janice has used the Share What You Love Suite on this card… and one of my absolute favourite pieces of Designer Series Paper!

Frosted Floral Pocket card from Sam Roberts

The second card came from Sam Roberts, of Sam’s Crafty Things. Sam shared a whole week of Thinking of You projects last week and I was so excited to receive one of them! This card uses the fun Pocket Card design from one of our Team Make and Takes from our retreat a few weeks ago, paired with this stunning paper from the Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper Pack. Just Lovely!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope to see you over on Facebook tomorrow!

Hi!

I LOVE doing my Facebook Live’s… I try to do one every other Sunday, but I missed a fortnight ago and so moved it to last weekend, so you’ve had 2 this week (You lucky people!).

This fabulous stamp and die bundle is EXCLUSIVELY available in August, and it’s while stocks last too, so Grab it while you can!

This stamp set is one of those that I can see me using for years… there are some really useful sentiments, pretty images, and don’t get me started on those dies! There are 3 label dies in the collection, that cut some really lovely stitched details.

I will be sending everyone who spends more than £45 in my webstore this month a FREE PDF Class download using this fun Colour Your Season bundle too!

Make It Monday | 3 card ideas with Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

Hello Card using Floral Frames and Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday 3 card ideas with Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday banner

I had a heap of fun yesterday on Facebook Live…. usually I share these videos on my blog immediately after, but with everything going on at the moment (crazy busy in the day job, re-marketing the flat, the heat, and a lack of sleep while James has been on nights). So, I decided to combine this weeks Facebook Live and Make It Monday. I hope you don’t mind?!

I do a Facebook Live usually every other week, but I missed last week, so there will be another one this coming Sunday. So, do pop over and Like my Facebook Page so you can join me Live on Sunday morning at 11AM

Card 1:

3 fun card ideas using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper Video Tutorial Facebook Live

This first card uses the fabulous Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. I love that you can make a whole heap of cards with this paper, and each one look different! That’s partly because they are fun painterly patterns, but also that you get 48 sheets of 6 x 6″ paper in the pack…. that’s a whole HEAP of cards! Because I wanted to keep the paper the focus here I’ve kept the rest of the card pretty simple, with a couple of die cuts from the Floral Frames bundle and a Stitched Circle, and a single stamped sentiment. However, you could really dress the card up with extra die cuts, embossing, and more layers!

Card 2:

3 fun card making ideas using patterned paper from Stampin' Up!

The second card I shared yesterday was this one, using the Rooted in Nature stamp and die bundle. I can’t decide which version of this card is my favourite… this one or the one I made in the video? What do you think?

Card Measurements:

Card Base; Blackberry Bliss; 29.7 x 10.5 cm, Scored at 14.85 cm

Whisper White layer; 10 x 14.3 cm

Natures Poem Designer Series Paper: 9.5 x 9 cm and a second piece that measures 9.5 x 4.8 cm

Plus scraps of Blackberry Bliss and Whisper White

You are Wonderful Nature's Poem Card using Rooted In Nature from Stampin' Up!

YouTube Replay…

Card 3:

The 3rd card uses my favourite Designer Series Paper of the moment; Petal Promenade, to make a fun spin on a classic Z fold card. This paper is just so pretty that I can’t help use big pieces of it! It does all the work, and leaves you with a simple task of adding a sentiment. Pretty card – Tick!

Quick and easy Z Fold card using Petal Promenade Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up!

Card Measurements:

Card Base; Petal Pink: 21 x 14.85 cm, scored on the long edge at 10.5 and 3 cm

Designer Series Paper: 14.85 x 7.5 cm and 14.85 x 3 cm

Whisper White 14.85 x 7.5 cm, plus a scrap for stamping

Crafting on a Sunday Morning | Male Appropriate Cards…

Facebook Live Video Tutorial How to make a male card using Animal Outing from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Crafting on a Sunday Morning Male Appropriate Cards…

Stampin' Up! Facebook Live StampinByHannah UK

Every other Sunday morning I go Live on Facebook… and this morning we had heaps of fun making men’s cards! In honour of Father’s Day next weekend, I thought it was about time I gave you some fabulous male inspiration… that was until I remembered that ALL of my guy themed stamp sets retired at the end of May! However, I dug deep into my Stamp Stash… and I think I came up with 3 fun male appropriate cards!

Watercolour Father's Day Card using Basket Weave Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up!

This first card would make a perfect Father’s Day card. Sometimes we are over-taken by the need to throw our entire craft room at a card… and while that has it’s place, guy cards ain’t it! I love keeping things clean and simple for cards for the guys in my life. Here the focus of the card is that fun watercolour lettering; layered with a piece of Coastal Cabana (Yum!) and some Basket Weave Embossing in night of Navy.

Fun Bicycle Card using Stampin' Up! products

One of my favourite guy themed stamp sets is Bike Ride…. while it’s not guy exclusive, I use it regularly for men’s cards. Check out the video for how I used the Stamparatus to create this card…

All of the cards in this week’s Facebook Live used my Standard Card Measurements.

Facebook Live Video Tutorial How to make a male card using Animal Outing from Stampin' Up!

The 3rd and final card uses a probably unexpected stamp set; Animal Outing. While this card is designed for children’s cards, I can see heaps of fun cards for adults too. Here it’s paired with the Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper, and hint of Linen Thread.

Don’t forget to check out the video over on my Facebook page to enter this week’s giveaway… and Like my page to be notified the next time I go Crafting on a Sunday Morning!
