InspireINK Blog Hop | Happy Birthday with Share a Milkshake

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months InspireINK blog hop. This months theme is ‘Birthday’, I cannot wait to see what the rest of the team have created. To find out, you can use the links at the end of this blog post.

I am still loving the Share a Milkshake stamp set, and I just think it’s the perfect stamp set for a birthday card (other than the fact it doesn’t have a ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment!).

This card was inspired by this one that I found on Pinterest. I haven’t used Crumb Cake like this for ages, I do LOVE a Crumb Cake background. The other colours here are Pretty Peacock and Bubble Bath.

Global Design Project #394 | Thanks Petal Park Slimline Card Idea

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another fun Global Design Project Challenge. This week its a fabulous sketch, which specified a Slimline card. This is not a style of card I make often, but I really enjoyed making this one.

I die cut 3 of the circles from the Stylish Shapes dies to create 3 masks for the circles, and then blended Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Sweet Sorbet through them. If you look really closely you can see the little stitch marks! The punched flowers are from Petal Park and are stamped in the same 3 colours.

Fathers Day Blog Hop | An Idea with Best Family Ever from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for a blog hop all focused on Fathers Day ideas. I know that Fathers Day can be difficult for some of you, and so I am absolutely not offended if you click away now.

Each year I am lucky enough to make 3 Fathers Day cards. One for my own dad, one for my husbands dad, and one for his step-dad. Most years they get the same card, but this year, they might be different as I am sure I will be totalling inspired by some of the cards in this blog hop!

Keeping things fairly simple for this card. Using one of the Basic 3D Embossing folders for the background, actually I just embossed the front of the card blank! and then stamping with Best Family Ever for the sentiment. There is only one ink colour on this card; Night of Navy, although I have stamped it off and then used a Blender pen to colour that cute critter from Zany Zoo!

Pansy Patch Birthday Card

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… quick post from me today, as this card took me so long to make that I ran out of time to write the blog post! Today’s card uses the Patsy dies, and Pansy Patch stamp set and was inspired by THIS card I spotted on Instagram this past week.

This card also uses a few of the new Stampin’ Up! Colours; Azure Afternoon is that bold blue, and Bubble Bath is the colour in the background. The other colours here are Balmy Blue, Parakeet Party, Granny Apple Green, and Crushed Curry.

Happy Birthday with Zany Zoo

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! Today’s card is very special, it was my daughters 4th birthday last week (the last 4 years have gone so super fast… not idea how she is 4 already!), and so I had to make her a birthday card. She LOVES to spend time with me in my craft room, and while she doesn’t join in much, she loves to watch and chat while I craft.

This card was inspired by THIS card from Jaimie Babarczy…. and it does use a couple of retired bits. The cute critter and the Designer Series Paper are both from the Zoo Crew suite, and in fact this little guy isn’t stamped at all, but actually cut from the Designer Series Paper (using a die!) instead.

The large number 4 is sadly a long retired die, but its so perfect for the kids birthdays that it’ll be a feature in my craft room for quite some time yet.

With this card being so special, it also got a stamped inside. I always mean to do this for all my cards, but in reality, it only happens to cards I am actually sending!

And she got a cute envelope too!

Congratulations card idea using Botanical Layers from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. Today I have a simple Congratulations card to share with you. I haven’t actually delivered this card at the time that this blog post goes live, BUT I don’t think my cousin (or any other member of my family!) actually follow this blog, and so I’m sure I’m fairly safe to share it!

Usually, for a Wedding Congratulations card I’m sure most people would go all out. In fact, I’ve done similar before, with layers and dimension, texture and lovely colours. However, that’s not really appropriate for the happy couple today. So, I’ve created something a bit more ‘Them’ that the norm for such an occasion.

This card uses Botanical Layers, which is a stamp set that has carried over from last year and I think it was a bit buried in last years catalogue so I’m so pleased to have it for another year. The leaves are stamped in Soft Seafoam and Lost Lagoon. While the sentiment, taken from Best Family Ever, is in Calypso Coral.

For all this card is simple, I have still ensured that it has a stamped envelope and that the inside hasn’t been neglected either.

Thanks a bunch Sweet Citrus

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. Today I am sharing another card using the Sweet Citrus stamp set and hybrid embossing folder. I really don’t know what took me so long to order this one, because its fabulous!

This card was inspired by THIS fabulous set of cards created by Mikaela Titheridge.

I really loved the pop of Coastal Cabana of Mikaela’s cards and I couldn’t not make a card with similar. I actually tired a heap of different colours for this card base, but my heart just really wanted to use Coastal Cabana too.

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
