Facebook Live | For the Love of Stampin’ Up!

tampinByHannah Facebook Live Cute Card using Work of Art by Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Facebook Live | For the Love of Stampin’ Up!

Stampin' Up! Facebook Live StampinByHannah UK

I had intended for Facebook Live to be a monthly affair, but I am on Annual Leave from the day job this week and thought I would go Live again this week!  Facebook Live is so much fun, I have the next one in my diary for the 1st December and I do hope that you can join me.

I made 2 cards this week, although the main reason for my broadcast wasn’t necessarily to share my love of card making, but more to share my LOVE of Stampin’ Up! There are so many reasons why… Not only the FABULOUS deal that you get on the Starter Kit, the 20% off all your stampin’ goodies, the catalogues, magazine, exclusive website, mountains of crafty inspiration, and the opportunity to earn free products, vouchers and holidays! I LOVE the community and the friendships. I am heading to Stampin’ Up! OnStage this weekend to be with around 700 of my Stampin’ Sisters to see the new Spring/Summer catalogue and I CANNOT wait!

Stampin' Up! UK Starter Kit

The Starter Kit is always the best deal…. just £99 for £130 worth of Stampin’ Up! goodies of your choice, PLUS a stack of catalogues, order forms and other business gear. Not that you have to make a business of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, we welcome happy shoppers who just want that 20%, business builders, and everyone in between too.

That fabulous basket of Stampin’ Up! goodness just shows quite how much you can get in your Starter Kit! There is a stamp and punch bundle, a pack of Designer Series Paper, 2 packs of card stock, 4 ink pads, notecards and envelopes, embellishments and adhesives in there! Of course, what you put in your kit is totally your choice, but I always think its nice to see how far you cash can go!

tampinByHannah Facebook Live Cute Card using Work of Art by Stampin' Up!

Of all the good stuff that I selected for my Starter Kit there is only one stamp set left. Saying that it is a fabulous one! Work of Art has gathered dust on my shelves a little recently, but I do LOVE it! I took inspiration from the catalogue with this card, but I still think is is fabulous!

Measurements:

Card base – Berry Burst – 4 x 8″ (scored on the long side at 4″)

Whisper White Layer – 3-3/4 x 3-3/4″

StampinByHannah Facebook Live Christmas Card using Peace this Christmas by Stampin' Up!

We always need quick Christmas Cards… while I was searching my catalogue recently I spotted the Peace This Christmas stamp set. This stamp set carried over into the Annual Catalogue from last Christmas, and I still love it! This card was actually inspired by THIS card that the lovely Janice shared with the team at a Training event back in the summer.

Stamped in Basic Grey, Cherry Cobbler, and Garden Green, this is a very Classic Christmas card… but with a bit of Masking (LOVE!) and you could totally dress this one up more with some embellishments or ribbons too! I would LOVE to see your version! Share it with me on my Facebook Page.

Measurements:

Card Base – Cherry Cobbler – 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long edge at 14.85 cm

Basic Grey layer – 9.3 x 13.6

Whisper White layer – 9 x 13.3 cm

Global Design Project 112 – Colour Me Happy

Global Design Project Watecolour Colour Me Happy Card using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Global Design Project 112 – Colour Me Happy

Hello….

So, I had planned for this blog post to go live this morning, but for many many reasons yesterday was a total write off, and so this evening appears to be the time.

This week’s Global Design Project Challenge is a CASE the designer. CASE stands for Copy and Share Everything… or Copy and Selectively Edit, depending on your point of view. I LOVE the card that the GDP have chosen for this weeks inspiration, and just HAD to have a go this week!

Global Design Project Watecolour Colour Me Happy Card using Stampin' Up! products

This card looks really complicated, but really it only took a few minutes to put together… even with the watercolour!

The flowers are stamped in Archival Basic Black ink onto Watercolour Paper. I am loving this stamp set, its called Colour Me Happy, and its a limited edition set released to celebrate the launch of Stampin’ Blends. It coordinates with a lovely card kit, although I think I have used it more on its own than with the kit! Here the flowers are watercoloured in Island Indigo ink, with Tangerine Tango centres. The background is coloured with Crumb Cake ink.

Measurements:

Card Base – Crumb Cake – 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored at 14.85 cm

Basic Black card stock layer – 9 x 13.3 cm

Watercolour paper  – 8.5 x 12.8 cm

So Happy for You Card using Colour Me Happy from Stampin' Up!

The thing that really stood out about Connie’s card was the accents… I have recently been taking the backing paper off of White Perfect Accents for a hint of something on some of my cards. Today though, I thought I would try and taking the backing off some of the Glitter Enamel Dots…. and you know, it works! Peel away the coloured paper backing, and you reveal clear, glitter dots, Perfect for an accent!

The sentiment is also taken from the Colour Me Happy Stamp set, it is heat embossed in White onto a piece of Basic Black card stock, and the end finished with the Triple Banner Punch.

Fresh Florals 18th Birthday Card

Birthday Card using Fresh Florals and Number of Years from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Fresh Florals 18th Birthday Card

We had a BIG birthday in our family yesterday. My Sister-in-Law turned 18! As usual James (my husband) requested a card for his sister… but he couldn’t have a normal card! Oh no, he had made a CD of some very embarrassing music for her, and so wanted a nice card for it to go in. While I’m not going to share a tutorial for this … its just quite a specific request! I will share the card as a whole with you.

Birthday Card using Fresh Florals and Number of Years from Stampin' Up!

Because this card was designed to fit a CD in it, it is a different size to my usual card creations. I do love making a square card every now and again, and this one has layers of Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper and Vellum (Yum!).

Card Measurements:

Card stock – Berry Burst – 10 x 5″ (25 x 12.5 cm)

Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper – 4 3/4 x 4 3/4″ ( 12 x 12 cm)

Vellum – 4 x 4″ (10 x 10 cm)

Fresh Florals Pink Happy Birthday Card using Number of Years from Stampin' Up!

I think Stampin’ Up! have the most perfect stamp set (and coordinating dies) for BIG birthdays…. the Number of Years stamp set and Large Numbers dies. These are BIG! Not only does the stamp set include numbers 0-8, it also has some really handy sentiments AND some pretty floral stamps too. Here I stamped the ’18’ in Whisper White Craft Ink onto Berry Burst card stock, and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. The rest of the sentiment is also stamped in Berry Burst, and also die cut from the Large Numbers dies.

Fresh Florals 18th Birthday Card Envelope using Number of Years from Stampin' Up!

I couldn’t just give my Sister-In-Law (Bella) a pretty card in a boring envelope could I? So, I used the Envelope Punch Board to make this fabulous envelope! It also uses the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper, but in Fresh Fig this time. I LOVE making envelopes from Designer Series Paper, but writing on it can be a little tricky… so I created a tag for the front instead. I used the Number of Years stamp set again to stamp ’18’ in Berry Burst (stamped off once) and added her name using the Labeler Alphabet stamped in Fresh Fig.

Envelope Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 8 1/8 x 8 1/8″

Punched and Scored at 4 1/8″ using the Envelope Punch Board

Closing homemade envelopes can be tricky… here I opted to wrap the envelope with some 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon in Whisper White. So pretty!

Make it Monday | 2 Step Stampin’ with Good Tidings

Make It Monday video tutorial how to make a fabulous Christmas card using 2 step stamping and Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make it Monday | 2 Step Stampin’ with Good Tidings from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday

Welcome to Make It Monday! I have two blog posts coming to you today… because I have a fabulous club launching this afternoon (and this project is quite a big sneaky peak!).

I have been playing around with the Good Tidings stamp set for ages! You guys know I’m such a sucker for a technique, and 2 step stampin is certainly one of my favourites. I just love being about to create a fun, detailed, multi-coloured image quickly and easily…. and for that, this stamp set is Perfect!

Make It Monday 2 Step Stamping with Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

This card uses an unusual colour combination… and not one that you might think of when making your Christmas projects! But I really LOVE the effect when the colours are layered together.

Basic Black
Crushed Curry
Calypso Coral
Emerald Envy
Island Indigo

The leaves and berries both use 2 stamps to create this image, and while they are detailed they are easy enough to line up… and even if you’re a little off, it still looks pretty! The trick is to find parts of the two stamps that line up and match exactly. One the leaf stamps its the insides of the images, where there is a cut out for the berries. You could use a Stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure perfect placement, but because these are photopolymer stamps and are therefore see-through it is not necessary.

Make It Monday video tutorial how to make a fabulous Christmas card using 2 step stamping and Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is also taken from the Good Tidings stamp set. Stamped and heat embossed in White onto a Basic Black die cut stitched circle. I did try something on the original card that I didn’t do in the video… and that was to add a hint of Whisper White craft ink with a sponge dauber for a chalkboard effect… I kinda like it! What do you think?

Because this card is on a Basic Black card base, I also created an inside layer to give you somewhere to write. The inside layer simply features a single holly leaf using the same colour combination as the front. I did make another card using Good Tidings a few weeks ago, which you can find HERE!

The card is finished with a trio of the Black Rhinestone Jewels… I cannot get enough of these! They are just so pretty.

Creativity Combined Blog Hop | Thank You

StampinByHannah Creativity Combined Blog Hop | Thank You

I have something special for you today. Over the past few months I have been working super hard to improve my little corner of the internet, and today I, along with another member of the team, have organised a blog hop to say Thank You to the wonderful Sarah who has helped us all!

I am always after a new technique to try, and when I came across this one on YouTube a few weeks ago I knew it would be perfect for today’s blog post! There will be a video tutorial on this one shortly because I think it is awesome!Thank You Card featuring Die Cut Letterpress technique and Eclectic Layers Thinlits from Stampin' Up!

I have to say this photo doesn’t do this technique justice… as the leaves are embossed into the card. The technique is called Die Cut Letterpress and it is so much fun! The leaves are from the Eclectic Layers Thinlits dies. I die cut them twice out of Thick Whisper White Card stock and once from Vellum. Then layered them together using Tombow glue, the Vellum piece needs to be on the bottom for the inky bit to work.

Then, add ink to the Vellum (I dabbed an ink pad onto the leaves) and run through your Big Shot. The sandwich is important here…. I used the platform I use for embossing folders, then a clear plate, my silicone mat, card stock, Leaves, and the second clear plate. I also found that a couple of sheets of card stock as a shim helped get a good impression, but my Big Shot is on its last legs and the centre of the rollers doesn’t have a lot of pressure.

Creativity Combined Blog Hop Thank You card using Oh So Eclectic and Daisy Delight from Stampin' Up!

The Thank You sentiment is taken from the Daisy Delight Stamp set and is stamped in Berry Burst ink. The card was a little bright at this point and I really wanted to add some Black (I’m on a bit of a Black kick at the moment!). So the black strip is embossed using the Layered Leaves 3D embossing Folder, and the card is finished with a trio of Black Rhinestone jewels and some ink splatter.

Please click on the links below to see the other Thank You cards made by the Creativity Combined Team, and don’t forget to leave them all some comment love!

Inspire.Create.Challenges #004 | Your Kindness Means So Much…

Inspire Create Challenges Kindness Card Colour Combination Challenge using Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up!

I cannot believe it is already the 4th Inspire.Create.Challenge…. I hope that you are having as much fun with these challenges as I am!

I have a pretty simple card for you today, but the stamps on this one do ALL the talking!

Inspire Create Challenges Stampin' Up! Colour Combination using Island Indigo Soft Sky Flirty Flamingo and Whisper White

This colour combination was totally inspired by a swap group at a recent team training I attended. You might remember THIS card I made with the same colours! Actually this card has two sources of inspiration…. because I made it quite quickly after making THIS rainbow creation too…. Do you find that, when your making a few cards at once they seam to use the same stamp set, or have a similar layout? I certainly do! I actually made this card before our first challenge…. and it has been sat on my desk waiting for its moment for WEEKS!

Inspire Create Challenges Kindness Card Colour Combination Challenge using Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up!

Can you guess what Stamp set I have used here? It’s Painted Harvest! I know…. a Painted Harvest card without a sunflower?! This stamp set has the most amazing leaves (don’t tell, but I love the leaves more than the flower!!!) and although they are designed to be stamped one on top of the other (2-step stamping) I really like the look of the more detailed stamps on their own.

Here the leaves have been stamped around the card stock in Island Indigo and Soft Sky. With that cute little dot stamp added in Flirty Flamingo.

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black… I almost went for Island Indigo, but just felt it would be lost and that a slight variation in colour would help it stand out.

Don’t forget to click over to the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog to see what the rest of the Design Team have created with this fun colour combination!

Today is super exciting! I LOVE the start of a new month…. Stampin’ Up! always share the latest offers and new products at the start of a month.

I have a couple of exciting classes and clubs starting this month….. 3. Today is the launch of Stampin’ Up!’s brand new Alcohol Markers; Stampin’ Blends!

I am a BIG fan of colouring… watercolour is my favourite, however these Stampin’ Blends are series competition! They come in 12 fabulous colours… with 3 extra special markers for skin tones and added effects. They have tight fit, nest-able lids so they won’t dry out and the lids wont get lost. Blends are duel tipped; with a brush for large areas and a finer tip for more detailed colouring. The Markers are in Stampin’ Up! colours for total coordination, and a square so they won’t roll off your desk. I am in LOVE!

There are currently 12 pairs of Markers, 12 fabulous colours that will allow you to colour a whole host of images. Each pair has one light and one dark marker in the same ‘colour’ for perfect blending AND they are available either as a combo pack or individually!

There are LOADS of stamp sets that are perfect to use with your new Stampin’ Blends, and I have listed just some of them at the end of this blog post.

The other new product today is the fabulous Colour Me Happy Project Kit and coordinating Colour Me Happy Stamp Set. This kit is BEAUTIFUL! It has features classic patterns and gorgeous Gold Foil Tape… and paired with the stamped images from the stamp set, coloured with your Stampin’ Blends it is the most perfect way to whip up 16 pretty cards in a snap!

I do have to warn you though, the kit and stamp set are WHILE STOCKS LAST…. and I’m sure that they aren’t going to last very long!
