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!

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!

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!

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.

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 | Fun with Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper

Pootlers Team Blog Hop

Oh, yes, today the team are blog hopping again! This time to celebrate the start of Sale-a-bration! I am in LOVE with the free goodies you can earn as part of Sale-a-bration this year, and don’t even get me started on the tote bag that you could add to a Starter Kit!

I’ve been playing with the Butterfly Gala suite a lot this month as it formed the basis for my first Card Class of 2019, and so I thought I would carry on with a theme… and use the coordinating FREE Designer Series Paper for a cute bag.

Cute Squishy Bag for the Pootles Team Blog Hop Sale-a-bration Special January 2019 using Botanical Butterfly from Stampin' Up!

These papers are stunning, with a pretty pastel palette on one side and black and white on the other, PLUS they coordinate with the fabulous Butterfly Gala Stamp and Punch Bundle too…

I’ve got a quick Video Tutorial for this one coming on Monday so do check back

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!

International Blog Highlight | Travel with Bike Ride from Stampin’ Up!

International Blog Highlight Travel themed Congratulations Card using Bike Ride from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlight Travel with Bike Ride from Stampin’ Up!

Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

Kylie’s challenge for this month was to create a Travel theme’d project… now, while this makes sense as many Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators gather for a trip to Alaska, it proved tricky for me. I really don’t have many stamp sets with a travel theme! There is a whole suite of goodies aimed at Travel Theme’d projects in this years Annual catalogue… but it hasn’t found it way into my craft room just yet. So, I stood, and stared at my stamp shelves for a while… before I realised I have the perfect travel theme’d set… Bike Ride!

Bike Ride is one of those really cool stamp sets that layers together to make something really great… and works perfectly with the Stamparatus! Here the bike has been stamped in a combination of Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Memento Black.

Because bicycles don’t usually float, I needed to find a why of grounding it on the card… and instead of placing it at the bottom, or adding a shadow with a Blends Marker… I decided to use the Petal Pair’s Embossing Folder. I LOVE the look of this, but it is a little tricky, and has creased the card stock… but I don’t think you can tell too badly!

Fun Congratulations card with a bicycle using Bike Ride from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is taken from the Hostess Exclusive Stamp Set Hand-Delivered… I LOVE this font SO much! and the card is completed with a trio of Self-Adhesive Sequins (which I am a little addicted to!)

What’s you favourite finishing touch?

Pootlers Team Blog Hop | Petal Passion Best Wishes…

Fun and Floral Best Wishes card using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Pootlers Team Blog Hop Petal Passion Best Wishes…

Pootles Stampin' Up! Team Blog Hop

Welcome to StampinByHannah… today’s blog post is a super special one! I am privileged to organise our team blog hops, I LOVE doing them! Partly because I just love to share, but I get a sneaky peak of everyone’s projects and I know that this time the girls have made some totally awesome projects! I have been running the hop for 3 wonderful years, and I am so pleased to see so many members of the team taking part this time… we have 30 fabulous blogs for you today! Please take some time to check them all out and leave some comment love on your travels too.

How to make a fabulous Best Wishes card using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

The Petal Palette suite is my absolute favourite from the new Spring Summer catalogue! I am such a sucker for a stamp set with a good font, and this one has fabulous fonts, lovely sentiments and some gorgeous florals too. The stamp set coordinates with a fabulous set of dies, the Petals and More thinlits do more than just cut out some of the stamps, there are some lovely layering pieces in there too.

Pootlers Team Blog Hop with PootlesPapercraft using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

I coloured in the floral stamp with Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils and blended the colours with a Blender pen, before using the coordinating die to cut it out. This floral stamp is then layered with two of the die cuts, and some stamping and Gold Heat Embossing to create the final effect.

Here is the list of the lovely ladies taking part in our Pootlers Team Blog Hop today, please check them out and leave some comment love too. Thanks for checking out StampinByHannah today, and I hope to see you again soon!

Pootlers Team Blog Hop | Snowflake Sentiments

Pootlers Team Blog Hop Christmas Card using Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

Pootles Stampin' Up! Team Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to another Pootler’s Team Blog Hop! We love doing these hops, sharing what we love with all of you! This time we are all sharing projects made using items from the new Stampin’ Up! Autumn / Winter catalogue. I am totally in love with this catalogue, and had a very hard time writing my ‘must have’ list this year….. but there was one bundle that was right at the top of my list…. Snowflake Sentiments!

Pootles Papercraft Team Blog Hop Watercolour Christmas Card using Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

This stamp set just screamed ‘Watercolour’ to me…. and I couldn’t help but make a Watercolour Smooshing card with it for my first make!

I love watercolour techniques (actually I love playing with techniques in general…. but watercolour is up there with my favourites!) and this one is particularly easy: Grab yourself a large Clear Block (or a tile, glass cutting matt, or other surface to use as your ‘palette’) and add ink to it…. I simply just smoosh my ink pad onto the block usually! add some water, and then pick up the ink and water mixture with a piece of Window Sheet (or one of those pieces that come with your photopolymer stamps!). This becomes your ‘brush’…. touch the Window Sheet to a piece of watercolour paper, and move it around to create some fun watercolour effects!

The background here is in Dapper Denim, Pool Party and Smoky Slate.

Pootlers Team Blog Hop Christmas Card using Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment can be added to your watercolour paper before or after the watercolour process…. you get different effects depending on which order you do each step in, but be sure to heat emboss your sentiment in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder to ensure it really pops through that watercolour!

StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! Colour Inspiration Dapper Denim Pool Party Smoky Slate

This card was finished with that fun boarder die cut from the watercolour paper, and a couple of swirls die cut from Silver Foil Paper!

Thank you so much for visiting StampinByHannah today… I would be honoured if you would sign up to my email newsletter while you are here (link in the side bar!)… and don’t forget to hop along to see what the other ladies have made with products from this wonderful catalogue!
