Stampin’ Inspiration; Yuletide Village

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Stampin’ Inspiration! This week I’ve been sharing projects using the Yuletide Village stamp set from the September – December Mini Catalogue. I really love this set, its perfect for a bit of colouring; alcohol markers or watercoloring, as well as looking just as lovely when left as stamped images.

Seasons of Elegance Card Ideas

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… sorry, it’s been a little while, been a bit busy with the baby. However, I am hoping that my plan for a posting schedule might be sustainable, at least for a little while.

Last week I shared a whole heap of projects using the Season of Elegance Suite from Stampin’ Up! Over on my Instagram, and I thought I probably should share them here too… as well as a new YouTube video!

So (hopefully) on a Monday evening, I’ll be sharing a round up of cards, as well as a YouTube video, likely on a theme; either a stamp set or a suite, to give you lots of inspiration all in one place!

This week, like I mentioned it Season of Elegance, which is a fabulous Mega suite from the September-December Mini Catalogue. There are 2 stamp sets, 2 die sets, a pack of Designer Series Paper, a 3D embossing folder, ribbon and embellishments! All in jewel tones, perfect for those festive projects.

Do let me know what you think of this format of post… and I hope to see you again soon

InspireINK | Summer with some of the Cutest Cows…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Welcome to StampinByHannah and to this months InspireINK blog hop. This month our theme is Summer, and because I have 2 very small children, our summer has looked like a lot of days out and visits to the farm! So, it just made sense to me to grab the Cutest Cows stamp set, and make a (quick) card.

Does this happen to anyone else? Where you need a card in a hurry, but what comes to you is using Stampin’ Blends and fussy cutting?! Yes, there is a punch for this cute cow, but I don’t have it, and so it was fussy cutting for me.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Collage stamping with Lovely and Sweet from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! It’s been a little while since I last did a Blog Hop with the ladies from Crafty Collaborations, but I thought this month it was time to change that! So here we are with the August Technique Tuesday Blog Hop with the theme of Collage… which is right up my street! Any excuse to get a bit inky!

I grabbed the Lovely and Sweet Stamp Set for this one and the colour combination of Basic Beige, Crumb Cake, Pretty In Pink and Summer Splash.

I Collage stamped the images around the bottom and left hand edges, and then finished the card with an embossed circle and a simple sentiment.

InspireINK Blog Hop | With Sympathy….

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for the July InspireINK blog hop! I am super excited to be getting stuck into some crafting again after 6 months of very little inspiration (or energy) and then a big craft room move (more of which I will share soon!). This month’s InspireINK blog hop’s theme is Sympathy, which is never the easiest occasion to craft for, and I have to admit to going slightly off-piste with this card. However, I think it would totally work for a sympathetic occasion, or just a ‘thinking of you’ even.

This card uses the Thoughtful Journey Suite, and a piece of the fabulous Basic Beige card stock (seriously, cannot put this away!). The background is embossed using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, which is so pretty, which I then distressed slightly with a nail file.

All the layers on this card are die cut using the Thoughtful Wishes dies, and cut from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is also from the coordinating stamp set, and although the words are joined in a line on the stamp, I preferred the stacked look on this one.

Thanks for stopping by StampinByHannah today, please follow the links below to see more fabulous card making inspiration…

Inspire.Create.Challenge #171 | Summer with Beach Day

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Inspire.Create.Challenge! This time we have a fun theme of ‘Summer’, and so it felt only right to grab for the Beach Day stamp set. I have to admit I didn’t buy the dies for this set, so there is a little bit of fussy cutting on this card… but it was simple, and definitely worth it!

I am in the process of moving my craft room, and so I’m playing about with my photos again. I do love taking photos on this tray!

The card base on this card is summer splash, and I’ve used all 5 new In Colours to colour the surf boards. The embossed layer is actually Coastal Cabana, with I think works really well, with the extra dimension of a bit of Crumb Cake

Thanks for checking out my blog today. Do hop over to the Inspire.Create blog for more Summery inspiration!

Inspire.Create.Challenge | Enduring Beauty

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah and to this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. It’s been a few months since I managed to join in with the Design Team, life has been a bit hectic and my crafty mojo up’d and left sometime in January! (About the same sort of time that I fell pregnant with baby number 3… so that might have something to do with it!

Anyway, aiming to do better, and with a new crafty space about to appear in my house, it’s time to get back on the blogging horse!

So, this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a sketch, and I LOVE this one.

This card is the ‘sister’ of the card I shared yesterday. It uses the Enduring Beauty Stamp set, dies and masks, as well as the Happy Little Things bundle, and a piece of Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper.

The card base is in Pretty in Pink, and I trimmed off the two front corners to create a sort of triangle front panel.

The floral is coloured with Petunia Pop and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends (I really cannot get enough of these new colours!) and I finished it with a trio of the new In Colour Adhesive Dots.

Please hop over to the Inspire.Create.Challenge blog to see more inspiration and I hope to see you really soon!

InspireINK | June 2024 – Blends and Enduring Beauty

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Well, this is a touch embarrassing! I haven’t blogged for 5 months… but thought today would be a great day to restart! So here we are!

The InspireINK blog hop this month has a theme of “What’s on your desk” and I’ve been fiddling about with Blends a lot recently as I try and revive my crafty mojo which has been slight more than MIA in recent months.

I’ve actually got 2 cards to share over the weekend, both very similar, using the brand new 2024-2026 In Colours (which I LOVE!) as well as the Enduring Beauty stamps and masks, and the Happy Little Things bundle.

This card uses Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends to colour the floral image. The card base and ‘Celebrate’ stamping are both in Petunia Pop.

Right. Ready to see what the rest of the team have on their desks?
