StampinByHannah Techniques Coordinated Die Cutting with Petal Palette from Stampin’ Up!Stamping Techniques Series

This weeks technique is something I have been wanting to do for a month or so, following a video shared by Jennifer McGuire. The technique is Coordinated Die Cutting, and is a fun way to look at your stamps and matchin dies

Coordinating Die Cut Windows using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

The cards I am sharing today are fairly simple, keeping the technique front and centre. Creating coordinating die cut windows really called to me when I first picked up this stamp and die set, but I know that you can do this with lots and lots of die sets.

The trick to this technique is a simple sheet of vellum, and ensuring that your two layers of card stock and your Vellum are the exact same size. However, once you have all card stock cut, the actual creation of the card is a quick process (as you can see, this video isn’t massively long for once!)

Using Coordinating Dies and Die Cutting in cardmaking using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

The ribbons used on this card are both from the same pack. The Sale-a-bration Shimmer Ribbon Pack contains 3 colours of shimmery ribbons in Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral and Basic Gray. Each ribbon is a different width as well as a different colour, but they are all shimmery and very pretty. This pack of ribbon is completely FREE with a £45 order during Sale-a-bration.

Birthday Card Week | Number of Years Birthday Card

How to make a fun 40th Birthday card using Number of Years from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Birthday Card Week Number of Years Birthday Card

StampinByHannah Independent Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Birthday Card week

Yes, today we continue Birthday Card Week! I know that you make more Birthday Cards than anything else and I get more requests from family and friends to make Birthday cards than any other card. So today I have a fun Birthday Card with a bit of a wow factor…

Fun and modern handmade 40th Birthday card using Number of Years from Stampin' Up!

I’m such a sucker from a great colour combination, and I REALLY love this one! Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist and Melon Mambo.

There are a number of layers on this card… (I would apologise, but I am having heaps of fun with lots of elements at the moment!)

  • Background embossed with the New Simple Stripes Embossing Folder
  • Vellum leaves from the Leaf Punch
  • Lemon Lime Twist square die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits
  • Melon Mambo banner (die cut using the Large Numbers dies)
  • Numbers stamped in Melon Mambo and die cut using the coordinating dies
  • Heat Embossed sentiments
  • Hearts & Stars Elements

Tranquil Tide 40th Birthday Card using Number of Years from Stampin' Up!

The Hearts & Stars Elements are so pretty. The top star is adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, while the lower one is not actually stuck at all, but rather trapped as the dimensional holding the sentiment in place is actually in the centre of it.

What type of card do you  make most of?

Sale-a-bration Spotlight | Lots of Lavender

How to make a quick and easy card using Lots of Lavender from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration #stampinup #saleabration

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Spotlight Lots of Lavender

Stampin' Up! Saleabration

Welcome to Wednesday’s here at StampinByHannah… now, Wednesday is not a usual posting day, but during Sale-a-bration I have an extra blog post (and sometimes a video) for you on a Wednesday! Yay!

This year’s Sale-a-bration event is bigger and better than ever before, with 13 fabulous gifts you can earn for FREE when you spend £45 between now and the end of March! One of those fabulous gifts is Lots of Lavender. I LOVE this stamp set, it features Two-Step Stampin’ (my favourite!) and some beautiful images too.

How to make a fun thank you card using Lots of Lavender from Stampin' Up!

You can choose Lots of Lavender as your FREE gift when you spend £45 in either the Annual OR Spring Summer catalogues, or anywhere on my Stampin’ Up! Webstore.

Today’s video was inspired by THIS card by Teneale Williams. I loved the use of Designer Series Paper, and the slightly distressed look, it’s not something I do often, but I do enjoy taking a nail file to a piece of paper and ‘roughing’ it up a bit!

Lots of Lavender CASe card using Stampin' Up! products

For all I LOVE this stamp set, it did take me a couple of goes before I found a look I LOVED with it… check the video for my top tips!

I also made a card for one of my team mates this past week with Lots of Lavender. I have mentioned before how it is one of my New Year’s resolutions, to send more cards… and I needed to pop something in the post to her, and so a card was needed too.

Birthday Card Week | True Gentleman

Birthday Card Week Quick and Easy Guys Birthday Card using True Gentleman from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Birthday Card Week True Gentleman

StampinByHannah Independent Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator Birthday Card week

Before I get into the blog post for today… I just want to let you know that today is my January Facebook Live Online Card Class! Check out my Facebook page at 2PM!

Last Friday was my birthday… but one day isn’t long enough to celebrate is it?! So, this week I have a WHOLE WEEK of fabulous birthday inspiration for you!

Today’s card is one I made for one of my Father-in-law’s birthday’s before Christmas. As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator I get to pre-order new products the month before catalogue launches, and I took full advantage of that to make this card!

Birthday Card Week Quick and Easy Guys Birthday Card using True Gentleman from Stampin' Up!

One of the many things that drew me to this particular suite in the new Spring Summer catalogue is the colour combination in this Designer Series Paper; Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Tranquil Tide and Very Vanilla. You guys know how much I love a good colour combination, and I LOVE this one! I have to say though that when I first read ‘Crushed Curry’ in the catalogue, it did think that someone had made a mistake, but no, there is a hint of Yellow in these papers and it really makes thinks Pop!

Birthday Card Week Quick and Easy Guys Birthday Card using True Gentleman from Stampin' Up!

Carrying on with the hint of Yellow theme, I added my own to this card. I mentioned a few weeks ago that sometimes I want a hint of colour behind a die cut, and that layering another die cut is sometimes too much… well, I pulled out this technique again here. Once I had the circle stamped and die cut, I ran the circle through my Crushed Curry ink pad to add a hint of colour.

Thanks for checking out StampinByHannah today… please consider signing up for my emails for twice weekly inspiration, and I’ll see you again soon!

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!

12 Days of Giftaways (Day 10) | Lots of Lavender

Quick and Easy Lots of Lavender Thank You card using Stampin' Up! Stamps

StampinByHannah 12 Days of Giftaways (Day 10) | Lots of Lavender

Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday

I LOVE to send Thank You cards… each and every one of my customers receive one to say Thanks, and one of my goals for this year is to send more cards!

Sale-a-bration started yesterday, and one of the first Sale-a-bration gifts to fall into my basket was Lots of Lavender! I am such a sucker for a two step stamp set and this one is super pretty.

How to make a fun thank you card using Lots of Lavender from Stampin' Up!

The Lavender is stamped in Smoky Slate, with Wisteria Wonder flowers and Pear Pizzazz leaves. I will admit that this card is actually one MASSIVE cutting mistake, I think I was a little tired when making it, and managed to completely forget my usual cutting measurements, but I really quite like the hint of Pear Pizzazz card stock at the top and bottom rather than all the way around.

Measurements:

Card base; Wisteria Wonder – 10.5 x 29.7 cm, scored on the long side at 14.85 cm

Pear Pizzazz layer; 9.5 x 13.8 cm

Whisper White layer; 9.5 x 13.3 cm

Lots of Lavender Sale-a-bration Thank You card using Stampin' Up! Products

The sentiment is taken from Thankful Thoughts, I use this stamp set all the time for Customer Thank You cards! It has a great selection of fun ways to say ‘Thanks’ but I really enjoy using this big sentiment stamp for a quick and easy focal point.

Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop | Amazing You

Sale-a-bration 2018 Congratulations Card using Amazing You and Celebrate You from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop Amazing You

Sale-a-bration Kick off Blog Hop with Janet Wakeland

Tonight I have a special blog post for you… I have joined with a host of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world to Celebrate the start of Sale-a-bration 2018. Sale-a-bration starts tomorrow and I have a special blog post going up first thing in the morning with all the details, but I have a fabulous card to share with you tonight using TWO of the fabulous Sale-a-bration free gifts….

How to make a fun Congratulations card using Sale-a-bration stamp set Amazing You from Stampin' Up!

This card uses the Amazing You Stamp set, and the coordinating Celebrate You Thinlits dies, both of which are FREE during Sale-a-bration. I wanted to keep this card fairly simple and let the sentiment do all the talking. The ‘Amazing’ is die cut from Champagne Foil Sheet, while the rest of the sentiment is stamped and heat embossed in White onto Basic Black card stock

The Designer Series Paper is another brand new product, from this year’s Spring Summer catalogue, and I am totally in LOVE with it. I am such a sucker for Black and White Designer Series Paper anyway, but this pack is gorgeous! Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is part of the Petal Palette Suite… and I have HEAPS of samples to share with you over the next few weeks!

Sale-a-bration 2018 Congratulations Card using Amazing You and Celebrate You from Stampin' Up!

The other cool bit of this card is the Gold Embossed Splatter. I saw this recently on the Stampin’ Up! Instagram page, and I just thought it was such a cool idea. It’s also super easy to do! I splattered a mix of White Craft Ink and Water onto my Whisper White card stock, then sprinkled over some Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, but Stampin’ Up! suggested a mix of Multipurpose Glue and water.

So fun!

Check out the other Demonstrators taking part in the Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop, and I hop to see you here again soon!

12 Days of Giftaways (Day 8) | Petal Palette Congratulations

Quick and Easy Congratulations card using Watercolour Pencils and Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah 12 Days of Giftaways (Day 8) Petal Palette Congratulations

Tomorrow is the launch of the brand new Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer Catalogue AND the start of 2018 Sale-a-bration… I am SO excited! My absolute favourite suite in the new catalogue is Petal Palette… this suite is just so pretty, with a beautiful stamp set featuring some lovely sentiments (with a gorgeous font!) and some stunning black and white Designer Series Paper that I cannot wait to let my sponge brayer loose on! Fun Floral Congratulations card using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

That strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper Pack and comes as a black and white sheet. I had heaps of fun colouring it…. I used the Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils to add some messy colour, then used a Blender Pen to spread the colour and even out the tone.  How cool is it that you could made loads of these cards, and each one could be totally different, using different colours and patterns all from the same stack of Designer Series Paper.

The Sentiment is from Petal Palette, as is the flower. Both are die cut using the coordinating Petals and More thinlits dies.

12 Days of Giftaways (Day 7) | Make It Monday with Picture Perfect Birthday

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to use a cardmaking sketch with Picture Perfect Birthday from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah 12 Days of Giftaways (Day 7) Make It Monday with Picture Perfect Birthday

Make It Monday

Hello! Happy New Year!

It is Day 7 of my 12 Days of Giftaways today, you can find all the details at the end of this blog post. However, it is also Monday… which of course means it is time for a Make It Monday video tutorial!

I have a special video for you today… after my blog post last Wednesday for Inspire.Create.Challenges. I had already made two cards with the current sketch challenge, and I shared my tips for using a sketch last week, but I wanted to share my process with you too.

Make It Monday Inspire.Create.Challenges Sketch Challenge using Coffee Cafe from Stampin' Up!

This card was the first card I made with THIS sketch… and although I like it, the card I shared with the Inspire.Create.Challenges Design Team is my favourite of the bunch! This is also the first card I have made with the Coffee Cafe Stamp set and coordinating Coffee Cups framelits.

When I first saw / Designed the sketch I saw Embossing paste in the top horizontal piece. Embossing Paste is a great way of adding that little something extra to your cards, a bit of extra dimension and some texture. I coloured it here using a drop of Crumb Cake reinker, for a tone on tone effect, but you can leave it white for something a little bolder.

Cute Friendship Coffee card using Coffee Cafe from Stampin' Up!

The white splatter on this card was created by mixing a drop of Whisper White Craft Ink Re-inker with water on an Aqua-painter, then banging the painter off a pen to create splatter… I LOVE doing this but it does make a bit of a mess. I made some Christmas tags at the last minute last week and did the same thing… and managed to cover my desk, tool caddy, phone and myself in White splatter!

Ok, so the card I made on the video uses the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set and coordinating Designer Series Paper. This stamp set features in my 2018 Birthday Card Club … Club sign ups are closing really soon (7th January!) so sign up this week to grab your place!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to use a cardmaking sketch with Picture Perfect Birthday from Stampin' Up!

I kept this simpler for this card, letting that Designer Series Paper do all the talking! The Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper features some fabulous photo-real birthday images as well as some really fun generic patterns in fun colour combinations!

12 Days of Giftaways…

We have reached Day 7 of my 12 Days of Giftaways today…I LOVE being able to give you something special when you shop… and I have some special things coming in the new year! So, as my Christmas gift to you I have a special gift for each person who shops over £45 for the next 12 days.

12 Days of Giftaways (Day 5) | Beautiful Day with Blends

Beautiful Day Birthday Card using Stampin' Blends from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah 12 Days of Giftaways (Day 5) Beautiful Day with Blends

What’s this… blog posts on a weekend?! Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you… I am blogging today and tomorrow, because I have some fabulous sneaky peaks from the Spring Summer Catalogue PLUS my Giftaway going on
StampinByHannah shares a fun Butterfly Birthday Card using the Beautiful Day Stamps from Stampin' Up!

How fun is this card?! It uses the lovely new Beautiful Day stamp set from the Spring Summer catalogue. This stamp set is designed to be used with a fun new (to Stampin’ Up!) product called Brusho. Brusho is a fun watercolour type colouring medium, that I need to have a bit more of a play with before I share my creations… but I will share the Stampin’ Up! video on my Facebook page this coming week. They look AWESOME!

But, I thought that although this stamp set is designed for watercolour, really it’s designed for colouring, and what other fun colouring mediums do we have in the Stampin’ Up! inventory… Blends! Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers launched back in October, and people have gone NUTS for them! They are a fabulous introduction to colouring, with perfect blending and colours that coordinate with the inks, card stock and Designer Series Papers that you already own! How cool is that?!

The butterfly is coloured with just 4 markers; the Night of Navy Duo and the Pool Party Duo. Blends are sold either in pairs or individually, although you’ll want to buy them in pairs to get that perfect Blend!

Cute Butterfly Birthday Card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is also taken from the Beautiful Day stamp set, and is stamped in Berry Burst onto a banner of Whisper White. I played around for ages trying to decide on how to attach it to my card, before I feel for staples (I love staples… actually, I love office supplies, but I’ll not scare you with my geeky stationary obsession today!)

Are you ready for 12 Days of Giftaways Day 5?! As my Christmas gift to you I have a special gift for each person who shops over £45 for the next 12 days. Each day has a different gift, and you don’t need to worry about adding the Code Club Code (although please do to receive your December Card Kit!).
