Sentimental Swirls | Pootlers Blog Hop!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today. This is the 3rd blog hop with the Pootler’s so far this year, but really I think this is the most special. Over a year ago, Sam Hammond Donald hit the massive career milestone of selling $1Million worth of Stampin’ Up! products, and so got to help design a stamp set. This stamp set launched in January, and today’s hop is dedicated to showcasing this one fabulous stamp set. Check out everyone else’s ideas using the links at the end of this post.

Hello Sentimental Swirls from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

One of the things that I think is really cool about this stamp set is that it coordinates with two fabulous punches; Flowers and Leaves, and the Strawberry Builder. PLUS, it is perfect for two-step stamping (one of my favourite techniques!) for quick colouring.

For this card, I coloured the flowers using Stampin’ Blends, in Misty Moonlight and So Saffron.

InspireINK | Best of 2021

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

This month’s InspireINK blog hop is a ‘Best of 2021’ theme. I don’t think this year has been what anyone has expected, its been challenging, surprising, upsetting, and to be completely honest with you I can’t wait for 2022 to start and us to leave 2021 well behind.

There are of course some good things about 2021, I finally got my craft room into some sort of order (although it’s not yet finished!), and I did manage to get some creative time back. I thought I would share my favourite make of 2021 for this months InspireINK Blog Hop, this fun card using Artistically Inked!

I’m going to have to get this stamp set back out, I haven’t inked it in ages and I absolutely LOVE it!

What is your favourite make of 2021? Share it with me on Facebook or Instagram!

Check out the rest of the blog hop for the Best of 2021 from the fabulous InspireINK team

Pootlers Blog Hop | Happiness with Pansy Patch

Join the Number 1 Stampin' Up! Team in the UK

Welcome to the Pootlers Annual Catalogue 2021 Blog Hop! I am SO excited to be hopping with our fabulous team again. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any of the team in person (Thanks Covid) and I cannot wait to give them all some seriously big squishy hugs at our next event.

One of my favourite suites from the new Annual Catalogue is the Pansy Petals suite. It’s come as a bit of a surprise really, because I’d forgotten that I’d even ordered it! But, it’s so fun to layer up the pansy stamps and there are so many wonderful colour combinations that I can’t see me getting bored with this one any time soon!

Happiness Handstamped card using Pansy Patch from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I made a Home Decor piece with this bundle last weekend, that used a fun pink and coral colour combo, but this time I’ve had a bit of a Google of pansies and found this pretty blue combination. So, the blooms here are stamped in; Balmy Blue, Misty Moonlight (stamped off), Bumblebee (stamped off), Bumblebee, and Blackberry Bliss.

The stamps line up really easily, but the dies also coordinate with the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper if you wanted to go for a non-stamped card!

Fun Pansy floral card using Bumblebee trinkets and Stitched So Sweetly dies from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The card base is one of the brand new In Colours; Soft Succulent, and its a colour I’m loving already! Here I’ve also used a piece of the Designer Series Paper in the same colour, from Pansy Petals, and the sentiment is also stamped in the same ink.

The Bumblebee Trinkets are the perfect finisher. So pretty!

Check out the rest of the team’s creations by clicking on the images below and I hope to see you here again soon!

InspireINK Blog Hop | True Love with Brushed Blooms

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Welcome to StampinByHannah, and thanks for stopping by on the InspireINK blog hop. This months challenge was a sketch, although I’ve gone slightly off plan (don’t I always!), and added a few extra elements.

I’ve been having heaps of fun with the Brushed Blooms bundle and True Love Designer Series Paper this week. I did a Facebook Live using these goodies on Thursday, and I have another card idea for you using the bundle tomorrow too!

Brushed Blooms Friend card using True Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This colour combination is so lovely; Basic Black, Basic White and Pool Party.

The sentiment is from Brushed Blooms, and I heat embossed it white before using the Stitched So Sweetly dies to cut it out.

Quick Designer Series Paper card idea using True Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The Designer Series Paper does most of the work on this card. I couldn’t choose just 3 patterns, so I added all my favourites instead!

Pootlers Team Blog Hop | Happy Birthday with Peaceful Poppies

Join the Number 1 Stampin' Up! Team in the UK

Hello!

Welcome to the Poolers Team Blog Hop! I have to admit to being a bit of a last minute larry this time (in fact, I wrote this blog post after the deadline! oops!)

Peaceful Poppies Happy Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! products for the Pootlers Team Blog Hop with StampinByHannah

When I first saw the catalogue last month I knew that the Peaceful Poppies Suite was at the very top of my list. The Designer Series Paper alone for me is an absolute winner! It’s that pretty watercolour, floral that Stampin’ Up! do SO well, with a strong theme of Blackberry Bliss, a colour I just cannot resist!

This card was the very first thing I made with it too! A Blackberry Bliss card base, layered with a piece of that gorgeous paper, and then added to with a couple of die cuts, a sentiment and a scattering of sequins! Just the sort of card that makes my heart happy.

Floral Happy Birthday card using Peaceful Poppies from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

InspireINK | A Card for a Special Lady…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

This month’s InspireINK blog hop is dedicated to those special ladies, whether that’s you mum (seeing as Mother’s Day is fast approaching), your best friend, Avon lady, or the woman in the post office!

I decided to keep my card a little generic, rather than explicitly Mothers Day, but you could really easily add a different sentiment to make it suitable for what ever the occasion

Mothers Day card using Time for Tea from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been trying to use some of my recently unloved stamp sets. It’s so easy to get carried away with the newest stamps on our shelves, but its really not fair to the others for them to be left out… so this card uses the Time for Tea bundle from the Annual catalogue.

I’ve used the 2-step stamping technique here to create those pretty leaves. The outline stamp was stamped first in Mossy Meadow, then the solid image added after in Mossy Meadow stamped off first. Then, the leaves are die cut using the coordinating dies too!

From me to you card using Time for tea from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The other elements are also take from the Time for Tea bundle, except for that stitched circle (that’s from the Stitched Shapes Framelits… one of my MUST HAVE products!)

I’ve finished this card with a trio of Needlepoint Nook Mini Buttons.

Check out the rest of the Blog Hop to see more cards for that Special Lady…

InspireINK | Hey Love Be My Valentine…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

It’s a bit of a busy day here today, with two blog hops in the space of 3 hours! However, I couldn’t miss the InspireINK blog hop this month, with their theme of Romance. The Hey Love stamp set is one of my new catalogue favourites (so much so that I have a whole Facebook Live using it tomorrow!)

Hey Valentine cute hand stamped card using Hey Love from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

There are some really lovely love themed products in this years Spring Summer Catalogue, particularly the Designer Series Papers, but they didn’t inspire me as much as the Hey Love stamp set! One first look through the catalogue back in November I was totally taken by this adorable gorilla and his other loved up chums!

Here I’ve grabbed my Stampin’ Blends in Smoky Slate and Flirty Flamingo to colour him in. I’ve kept my colouring simple with mostly flat colour and a few shadows added with the Dark Smoky Slate pen, but you could totally go to town on this guy!

Colouring Hey Love Stamp Set with Stampin' Blends from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card was layered up with the layering Circles dies and a heat embossed sentiment, but it was missing something. I knew I had a simple heart stamp somewhere, turns out it was on my desk the whole time in the Piece of Cake Stamp Set, and so I added a trio of trio’s of hearts in Smoky Slate!

I can’t wait to see what the rest of the team have created for this theme. To find out, use the NEXT button to hop along to the next blog in our hop…

Pootlers Blog Hop | Welcome to Spring Summer with Stampin’ Up!

I am so lucky to be part of a fabulous team of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. This month we have 2 fun blog hops jam packed full of crafty ideas and inspiration for you all. Our first Pootlers blog hop of 2019 celebrates the launch of the Brand New Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer catalogue. I am so lucky to coordinate these lovely ladies, but even I haven’t seen their creations this time, so I am SO excited to see what they have all made!

Amazing Life card using Stampin' Up! products for the Pootlers Team Blog Hop with StampinByHannah

One of the things I’ve been doing in my own crafting recently is trying to keep things simple, and when Stampin’ Up! make Designer Series Paper as pretty as this it becomes super easy! Here I have used the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper, and used the colours in it (Night of Navy and Balmy Blue) and my inspiration for the rest of the card.

Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper Just Because Card using Stampin' Up! products with StampinByHannah

The stamp on this card says everything, its taken from the new Amazing Life stamp set, which I was lucky enough to get for FREE at a Stampin’ Up! event back in November. I am So Happy to have Stampin’ Up! in my life, as well as the wonderful team of ladies (and gents) some of whom are taking part in the blog hop today. I can wax lyrical about the team, Stampin’ Up! events, the discount and more… but I’ll save you from that, and let you hop through the list of projects below!
