Stampin’ By Hannah Product of the Month!

Welcome to September here at StampinByHannah!

This months Product of the Month is …… the Back to Basics Alphabet

Stampin Up Back to Basics Alphabet

I love this stamp set, the font is so simple and classic, but I really struggle to use it! Do you find the same? Well, this month I will be giving you some ideas of how you could use it to its full potentional. It’s a photopolymer set, which makes lining up and stamping words in a straight line much easier, but storage is an issue. Thanks to Connie Stewart for this great storage tip (see video for more!)

 

Hope you follow along with me

Check out my Pinterest Board for more ideas and inspiration!

Weekly Deals – 03.09.2014

Hey, its that time again! Weekly Deals!

This weeks offering is a little different, no stamps, punches or embossing folders, no ribbon or embellishments. Actually, at first glance this weeks deals appear really rather dull! But that is where the surprises start!

Stampin Up! Weekly Deals

5 colours of ink refil! whats so great about those I hear you cry!

Well, where do I begin? first, they are a much needed tool to replenish those ink pads (and much cheaper than buying all those pads again!), they can be used to watercolour, with our Simply Pressed Clay (see above!), dye your ribbons, mixed with water and put into a spraybottle like our Stampin’ Spritzer to make a mist, and loads of techniques involving rubbing alcohol, shaving foam, and many many others!

So really, even if you dont own the ink pads in these colours, grab the refills now while they are such a great price! and use them for many different effects!

Awesome

A merry little star

Just a quick post from me today (I’m away with family, and realised I hadnt scheduled anything for you lovely people over the weekend), I have a super exciting post for you on tuesday, so dont forget to check back then. Also, before I get to today’s card, pop over to my Facebook page, for regular updates and news from the craft room!

 

Right, card time! The Autumn / Winter seasonal catalogue was released this past week, so I thought I’d make another festive card, but this time using mainly non-seasonal product (saying that the sentiment is from the lovely Festival of Trees stamp set which I love so so very much!)

Stampin up Christmas star something to say

So this card uses the same techinque as THIS ONE, embossing the edge of the card blank with clear Stamp Emboss Powder. This time I used that lovely swirl from Everything Eleanor. The stars are stamped using the star from Festival of Trees as well as Something to say (from the annual catalogue). Oh, and that red ribbon?! well, that’s white organza ribbon (its so pretty) coloured with my Real Red Stampin’ Write marker!

I love this card, and although it uses several different techniques it was super simple to put together!

Copy and Share Everything …..

I always find making birthday cards for children difficult, and I tend to gravitate back towards Stampin’ Up! Zoo Babies at every possible opportunity. I’ve had a few childrens (well toddlers) cards to make recently, including a first birthday ‘card-in-a-box’ that I forgot to photograph! Ooops! and had run out of ideas a little by the time another birthday came around, so where did I turn for inspiration ….. Pinterest!

Oh, Pinterest, how I love thee…… I use Pinterest all the time, to collate my ideas, record my projects, for inspiration for many things in my life as well as crafting. I love the organised way of creating ‘boards’, ensuring all my ideas about a particular topic are together – Stampin’ Up!, Wedding, Christmas etc. etc. Go and check out my Pinterest and follow along.

So, I was all out of inspiration, but thats OK, I have a Pinterest Board for that – CASE

CASE stands for : Copy And Share Everything, something actively encouraged by Stampin’ Up! So thats what I did

Stampin Up! Zoo Babies

Using the In Colours 2014-2016 – Tangelo Twist, Hello Honey, Mossy Meadow, and Lost Lagoon, the Zoo Babies Stamp Set, and some scraps of cardstock this was my make.

The recipient LOVED it!

Tuesday Tips! – Colour your pearls

I’m trying really hard to get into a regular posting schedule, and I want to give you more than just cards! So, I thought I would try and give you some tips, tricks, and techniques on tuesdays. Some of these tips will have videos, some will just be blog posts, I might miss a  week here or there (I work full time as a nurse, so some weeks are a little crazy busy round here!), but my aim is to post a few times per week, and I’m hoping this structured posting schedule will help!

So, for the first in a series of Tuesday Tip posts, I thought I would show you my current favourite technique – colouring my jewels and pearls!

 

If you have any techniques / products / ideas that you want more information on, or a video tutorial, leave me a comment below or use the Contact Me form

Super Simple Sunday – A work of art just for men!

Arent mens card hard! well, no….. not when you have Pinterest to help!

So today I was searching around on Pinterest, and came across this great idea for using Work of Art… When I bought the set I could see awesome backgrounds, and I could see flower, but I never saw a boat! until today

Stampin up work of art boat

So this card is super simple! I stamped the components of the boat in Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz, and Crumb Cake. The Sentiment is stamped in Pear Pizzazz on a background of triple stamped Crumb Cake dots (I love that stamp, so much!). I added 3 coloured pearls and matted the piece on a piece of Pumpkin Pie, and a Crumb Cake card base!

Easy peasy!

Lost Wishes….

Hello folks!

I have a lovely card for you today with an interesting technique.

This card using the Everything Eleanor Stamp set, with a sentiment from Blooming with Kindness (check out the bottom of this blog post for links!)

Stampin Up Everything Eleanor Blooming with kindness

 

This card was really easy to create, but is a little different as the stamped images are ‘cut off’ around the sentiment. I did this using a mask. I cut a piece of scrap paper to 1 1/2″ tall, and longer than the width of my card, and used temporary adhesive to attach it to the Whisper White piece of cardstock. I then stamped the flowery images from Everything Eleanor in Lost Lagoon and Hello Honey. around the mask. When you remove that mask, a clean, white space is left. To finish I stamped the sentiment in Lost Lagoon, and attached the whole piece to the front of a Lost Lagoon card base. The card was pretty, but wasnt quite ‘finished’ looking. So I punched three flowers using the Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack, added jewels, and added them to the front of the card with Glue Dots!

Stampin Up Everything Eleanor Blooming with kindness

Simple, but really pretty.
