Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Crafty Challenge Blog Hop. This month we had 5 different options, and I’ll admit at this point that I didn’t hit them all! We had In Colours, Masking, For You, 3×3 and Designer Series Paper.
I cut a piece of Basic White into a 3×3″ square, and masked off a 2″ circle in the centre. I then stamped the Rays of Light background stamp in Orchid Oasis, ink blended some Tahitian Tide on the edges and ink splattered some Parakeet Party.
The Hello is taken from the Biggest Wish stamp set, which I stamped and heat embossed before fussy cutting.
A simple card, but one for any occasion.

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I am SUPER excited to release my first card class of 2023! This has been a little while coming, but I think it’s been super worth it!
I have been having so much fun with the Petal Park bundle recently, that it just made sense to share a class using it with you.
My classes are great fun, and totally virtual. All options come with PDF instructions and an exclusive video. However there are a couple of options here.
1) PDF and video instructions ONLY – £15 2) Card Kit, PDF and Video instructions – £25 3) Complete Card Kit, with the stamp and punch bundle, PDF and Video instructions – £60
Options 2 and 3 include a card kit. This kit includes all the pieces needed to make the cards, including card stock, envelopes and embellishments… and option 3 also includes the stamp and punch bundle too! My classes also always include a little special something for you… and a copy of the next Annual Catalogue in April.
You can sign up for this card class by dropping me an email at StampinByHannah{at}outlook.com and I will forward you the payment link.

This weeks YouTube Live used the fabulous Artfully Layered suite from the January-June Mini Catalogue. I have been having great fun with these products, and this month’s Card Club uses the same Designer Series Paper.
The first card we made was inspired by this week’s Global Design Project Sketch Challenge. I don’t make many slim line cards, but I thought it was an interesting idea.
This card is 21 x 15.8 cm, scored at 7.4 cm on the short side…. and it fits in the Stampin’ Up! Slimline Envelopes too! The card base is Mint Macaron, and the circle die cut from the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper.
I tried something with this card I hadn’t done before, and added Adhesive sheet to the back of some Vellum before using the coordinating dies to cut these fun leaves. It works really well… and you cannot tell there is any adhesive there at all. I finished this one with a stamped sentiment a trio of the Faux Sea glass Shapes.
This week’s second card was inspired by a card from one of the Stampin’ Up! Artisans. While she used a slightly different technique, I really liked the general feel of this card, and had to have a go! The leaves were both stamped in Soft Seafoam onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper, and then watercoloured with a combination of Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. I LOVE the final look!
If you have enjoyed today’s project, I have a Card Club for April that uses the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper (and you can always add the Artfully Layered stamp set too!). Club is just £12.50 per month, for 5 months. Sign up by dropping me an email HERE.

StampinByHannah 2018 Annual Catalogue Paper Shares
Are you ready for the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue? I’ve spent this morning packing and preparing my 1st batch of catalogues ready to send out this coming week (my lovely husband has already offered to take them to the post office… not that I can remember which day he said he was going!). You can of course still order a FREE catalogue using THIS page, and I will add you to the list for the 2nd batch which will likely go out just as the catalogue launches on the 1st June.
If you don’t want a physical catalogue, but prefer a digital download I will be sending one out to my email list on the 1st June. You can subscribe to that HERE.
But today, I have something special for you… the launch of my 2018 Annual Catalogue Paper Shares.
I have two options for you… a Designer Series Paper Share, and a second Colour and In-Colour Paper Share.
So, what is a Paper Share?
There are 21 packs of Designer Series Paper in this years Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue… that would cost you £215 if you bought them all. Now, because I have seen all the paper, and I know how GORGEOUS they all are… I know that you are going to want them ALL. But I also understand that £215 on Paper is a lot of money. What a Share does is split that cost in to 4 pieces… making it more affordable for you to get a sample of all the pieces of Designer Series Paper.
So, you pay 1/4 of the price and get a 1/4 of each pack of Designer Series Paper.
I do have one disclaimer; there is one pack of Designer Series Paper that I’m NOT including the share, Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Speciality Paper is BEAUTIFUL but it is just too difficult to cut onto quarters.
Designer Series Paper Share
This Share includes 14 packs of Designer Series Paper:
Tea Room Speciality Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Broadway Speciality Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Share What You Love Speciality Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Graceful Glass 6 x 6 “Designer Vellum – 1 sheet of each of 12 Designs
Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Best Route Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
Garden Impressions 6 x 6″ Designer Series Paper – 1 sheet of each of 12 Designs
Tropical Escape 6 x 6″ Designer Series Paper – 1 sheet of each of 12 Designs
Wood Textures 6 x 6″ Designer Series Paper – 1 sheet of each of 12 Designs
This stack of Designer Series Paper would cost you over £150 if you were to buy it all, but, if you join in with this paper share you can get a 6 x 6″ sample of each pack of paper for just £45 including Postage and Packing.
Colour and In-Colour Paper Share
This share includes a piece of each of the double sided Designs of the Colour Collection Designer Series Paper and the In-Colour Designer Series Paper. The Colour and In-Colour Paper Share includes 20 sheets of Designer Series Paper from each colour family. This share is based on 2 people sharing, and costs £35 including Postage and Packing.
How to Join in…
Please use the form below to sign up for a Paper Share. Please note that I will be sending invoices out between the 22nd and 31st of May, and that these need to be paid before midnight on the 31st May so that I can place the order on the 1st June. I hope (providing that we don’t have any back order issues) to have your shares out to you by the middle of June.
I can only offer Paper Shares to customers in the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria. Although, if you are outside the UK there will be an extra charge for postage to cover international delivery.

Well, I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas / New Year break. I have been super busy with the day job, things are a bit insane over Christmas (I think I managed to get 3 days off over the festive fortnight!) but everything is dying down again now, and I’ve had this past week off to recover!
I’ve missed doing our fortnightly challenges (although I have no idea how I would have fit them in!) and am so pleased to be back blogging with these wonderful ladies again.
This wonderful sketch has been set by the lovely Cat Burchmore, and was definitely a tricky design recreate.
I hadn’t realised quite how many different bits and bobs I had used on this card until I sat down to write this post. Initially I set out to make a card using the A Nice Cuppa stamp and die bundle. But it turns out that although I used the tea pot die, I haven’t used anything else from that suite of products! Instead I have jump all over the Spring / Summer catalogue to collect items for this card!
The Designer Series Paper is called Birthday Bouquet, and features some gorgeous birthday themed and floral prints. The Happy Birthday is taken from Balloon Celebration, another stamp set that comes in a bundle (a fabulous balloon punch!) and then there is an embossing folder, sequin trim and metal rimmed pearls!

There are so many adhesives (that’s glue to you and I!) out there for card making, I thought I would select my favourites!
Snail – a great cute little tape runner. This tape runner contains 12m of permanent adhesive. Great for sticking cardstock to paper, and paper to paper, and wonderful for your basic card making needs, but not so great for 3D projects. Acid free, so great for adding those extra bits to your Project Life albums and scrapbook pages, and rubs away with a clean finger or you Adhesive Remover
Fast Fuse – The beefier brother! This super-sticky tape runner is super strong, great for 3D projects and comes with 20m of tape! Be warned though, watch the video below for usage instructions!
Tear & Tape Adhesive – I LOVE THIS STUFF!! Strong tape, with a tearable paper backing for all your cardmaking and papercraft needs! Comes with over 24m of tape, and is super sticky
Stampin’ Dimensionals – The only foam adhesive you will ever need! This hexagonal foam pieces add height and dimension to your cards and projects, with easy to remove backing paper and plenty on a sheet (300 per pack) I can’t life without these!
Mini Glue Dots – great little glue pieces for holding heavier embellishments, ribbons and punched pieces. These are pressure activated, so push your embellishment onto them on the roll, pull them off and push firmly onto you project to ensure a good stick!
Tombow Multipurpose Glue – The best liquid glue ever! Clear drying, strong hold glue, with two nozzles; a fine tip for detailed application and a broad tip when you need plenty of stick!
2-Way glue pen – Use when the glue is blue for a permanent stick, or leave to go clear for a temporary hold. I use this often for detailed gluing on die cuts, or for a temporary hold of a gift card!

I have a slightly different Technique Tuesday for you this week. I have been loving the Layered Letters Alphabet, I’ve used it for all sorts the projects this month – Catalogue bookmarks, my swatch book, and now my customer Thank You cards for July!
If you have placed an order this month, this card will be coming to you in the post at the end of the month! If you haven’t ordered yet…. you better get ordering to get one!
Aren’t they cute! Check out the video for some great tips about using this stamp set!
Top tips:
– Stamp your layering pieces first! get those rectangles and ovals onto your card – using different colours for each one looks awesome!
-Lay your letters out onto a clear block, to check your spelling! (particularly important if your dyslexic like me!)
-Position your letters onto the layering spots, stamp side down, and pick them all up in one go with a large clear block – this way you can stamp them together like one big stamp!
Do you have any alphabet stamp tips? Let me know in the comments section below!

There are so many different inks out there! Dye, water based dye, pigment, craft, alcohol, ones that smooth out, ones that are best for blending, ones that react with water, the list goes on and on and on!
As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I only use Stampin’ Up! inks these days, but I have used others in the past, and do still reach for them on occasion. But I truly believe for a great all round ink, that’s great for beginner stampers, you cannot beat Stampin’ Up! inks!
Ok, so; there are several different inks in the catalogue. I’ll start with our Classic Inks. Available in Stampin’ pads, as refils, or in Stampin’ Write Markers, the classic ink is a great all round ink. It stamps wonderfully, often a little darker and splotchy at first but it smooths as it dries leaving a perfect crisp image every time! And if you think that is all Stampin’ Up! ink is good for, you are about to learn something! I use our Classic ink for water-colouring, adding some ink onto a clear acrylic block and adding water before using a paintbrush to colour my image. It’s also reactive to water, meaning that you can splatter water onto a project (before it’s completely dry works best) to bleach away some of the colour. It blends beautifully with sponge daubers or a blending tool. And it comes in 46 different colours!
Currently we don’t have a black Classic Ink (I am assured it will return, but it needed re-formulating to make it even better!), but we do have two great black options!
Memento Tuxedo Black is my go-to black ink, and I am so pleased Stampin’ Up! have continued to carry it. I have loved this ink for years! I can guarantee a clean crisp true black image with this ink, and it is safe to use with your Alcohol markers too. The Other option for Black ink is Stazon. Stazon is an alcohol based ink, great for stamping on slick surfaces like Window Sheets or tiles, but its also waterproof, and so great for stamping your images before you watercolour. One thing to be aware of with Stazon though is that it will stain your stamps, special Stazon cleaner is recommended, and I prefer to avoid using it at all with my photopolymer stamps (but sometimes it can’t be avoided!). Stazon is also available as a white ink, which comes with its refill as it is known to dry out quickly.
White ink is also available as a pigment ink; Craft Stanpin’ Ink, is a permanent pigment ink. This is a great white ink, but it takes a while to dry. You can speed up the drying process with your heat tool, you add embossing powder to set it. Craft ink looks awesome on dark card stocks such as Night of Navy or Basic Black.
The final ink I’m going to talk about in Versamark. I love this ink! Versamark is my first choice for stamping and heat embossing, it is a clear sticky ink that holds your embossing powered to the card stock while you heat set it. It is the best! Versamark is also great for creating a tone-on-tone stamped look, or watermark effects.

Welcome to another episode of Cardmaking 101! This week we are looking at ‘how to stamp!’
I think this is one of those things that new card makers can really struggle with, getting a clear, crisp image, and avoiding those dreaded inky halo’s.
I think the best way to explain this one is in video, but the key really is a smooth action (and practice!) getting the stamp mounted properly on your block, and stamping down and straight up – No Rocking!
check out the video to see what I mean
