In Colour Week | Lemon Lime Twist

Stampin' Up! 2017 In Colour Lemon Lime Twist Lemon Zest Fun Lemon Card

Oh my goodness, this colour actually frightened me so much when it arrived….. but it is so easy to work with, I LOVE it!

Stampin' Up! 2017 In Colour Lemon Lime Twist Lemon Zest Fun Lemon Card

It’s just so much fun! I have made this card twice (and I was sure I had shared it with you last week…. but then, last week was crazy!) the first time in Crushed Curry, and the second time in Lemon Lime Twist.

The Lemon Zest stamp and punch bundle is great! The stamp set has a heap of fun sentiments, and I am totally on board with the citrus trend too.

Stampin' Up! Lemon Zest Fun Card As well as the Lemon Zest bundle this card uses the Stitched Shapes Framelits – these are such a must have for the new catalogue by the way. There are 5 lemons / limes stamped and punched then arranged in the die cut space. To get the sentiment on the lemon I stamped the lemon first, the used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the sentiment before I punched out the shape, cool huh!

In Colour Week | Fresh Fig

Stampin' Up! In Colour 2017 Fresh Fig Happy Birthday Gorgeous Floral Birthday card

Hello! Welcome to In-Colour week here at StampinByHannah… I have 5 fabulous cards to share with you this week, one In Colour for each day!

Stampin' Up! In Colour 2017 Fresh Fig Happy Birthday Gorgeous Floral Birthday card

This fabulous Fresh Fig card using the lovely Happy Birthday Gorgeous Bundle…. that may also be my Online Card Class for June (more on that on Friday!). The Happy Birthday die is super pretty and really easy to stack to create a fun dimensional look.

Here I stamped the card with the flowers, and added some ink blending before die cutting the Happy Birthday. The die cut was then layered onto 2 more, cut in Fresh Fig, before I paper pieced the background back together.

Oh, how I am loving the new In Colours….. come back tomorrow for more!

Sneak Peaks | Lemon Zest

Happy Birthday Card using Lemon Zest from Stampin' Up!

I had the greatest honour to be chosen as a Display Stamper by Stampin’ Up! to create some samples for Stampin’ Up! OnStage Live in Amsterdam back in April. I had so much fun creating 15 projects with 3 great stamp sets and the new In Colours…. and although I was pretty nervous about this particular set, once I got stamping the projects seemed to create themselves!

Happy Birthday Card using Lemon Zest from Stampin' Up!

This was the very first card I made using the Lemon Zest stamp set, and the new In Colour; Lemon Lime Twist.

The Lemon Zest stamp set comes bundled with a Lemon builder punch… now I’m sure that the lemon and the leaves are easy enough to fussy cut, but come on, it still way less time consuming to punch (that and I’m not bad at fussy cutting, but it would still be messy!).

The products used on this card will be available on my Webstore on 1st June

Make It Monday | Backgrounds with small stamps….

Make It Monday Video Tutorial making backgrounds with small stamps using Eastern Beauty from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Hello! long time no see… totally my fault of course, but I am back this week with my Make It Monday video and some fabulous sneak peak projects from the upcoming Annual Catalogue

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Card making stamping with Eastern Beauty from Stampin' Up!

I had loads of fun making this card, which is good really seeing as I have ended up making the exact same card 3 times… I explain why in the video

Top tips for creating fun backgrounds using small stamps:

  • use stamps of different sizes, stamping the larger stamps first and using smaller stamps to fill the gaps
  • choose whether you are looking for a regular pattern like I have for this card, or something more random
  • Stamp the same stamps in the same colours, but make sure that there are different colours across the stamped piece…. this card would look very different if all the stamping was in the same colour

Make It Monday Video Tutorial making backgrounds with small stamps using Eastern Beauty from Stampin' Up!

The fabulous Eastern Palace bundle offer is still available too. These 2 exclusive bundles will end on the 31st May, although the items can also be found in the new catalogue, the bundles wont be.

I am also offering a FREE Online Card Class for anyone who purchases either of these bundles. You can find all the details for those over on my Online Card Class page.

Eastern Palace | Gold Foil Surprizes

Eastern Palace Suite Gold Foiled Card using Stampin' Up! products

One of my favourite things about the Eastern Palace suite is the Gold Foiling. I do love a bit of Gold!

The Designer Series Paper has two sheets of Gold Foiled paper, and what is lovely that they are single sided so you don’t have to choose. The other colours in the DSP include 3 of the 5 new In Colours (check out yesterday’s VIDEO to see them all), Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist… and one of the In Colours from the 2016-2018 collection; Dapper Denim.

Eastern Palace Suite Gold Foiled Card using Stampin' Up! products

This card uses Dapper Demin and Tranquil Tide along with the Gold Foiling and a hint of Whisper White. I am sure that this is a CASE of a card by Kylie Bertucci…. but I’ve been through her blog and can’t find it! I can see this card being stepped up further with some ribbon or bakers twine… and a few Rhinestone Jewels too.

During the mouth of May, the Eastern Palace Suite is available in two fabulous Bundles:

Both of which include FREE products! as well as those 3 new In Colours….

oh, before I go for today… I am starting to plan my Mailing List for the new Annual Catalogue. To get your FREE copy just complete the form below.

Stinkin Inkers Challenge | It’s Spring!

Stinkin Inkers Card making challenge Spring Themed card using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

Hello! Welcome to another card for the Stinkin’ Inkers Challenge… I LOVED checking out all your fabulous blogs and gorgeous projects last month. Check out how you can join in over at Stinkin’ Inkers!

This month’s theme is It’s Spring! (although with the snow we had here last week I’m not so sure!)

Stinkin Inkers Card making challenge Spring Themed card using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

Spring…. what do you think of when someone says It’s Spring! I think flowers, pastel colours, and then get excited that it’s almost summer! I am so looking forward to summer this year….not that I’m getting a holiday or that anything especially exciting is happening, but just the prospect of it not being freezing cold is enough to make me happy. My card today uses the Jar of Love stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to create a fun floral wreath

Stinkin Inkers Card making challenge Spring Themed card using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

I think this colour combination is also a fun one for spring; Rich Razzleberry, Sweet Sugarplum, Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride, Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz…. with slightly more than a hint of Gold! Every element of this card is die cut with the coordinating dies, all except the Pear Pizzazz leaves which I have almost completely covered with flowers! Oops!

Thanks for checking out my blog today, and I hope to see your spring creations really soon!

Eastern Palace Suite | Hello

Cute Hello card using Eastern Beauty from Stampin' Up!

Like I mentioned yesterday, I have a whole week of projects this week featuring the Eastern Palace suite and exclusive bundles. You can find out more about these fabulous products HERE

Eastern Palace Bundle card kit from Stampin' Up!

I could not resist cutting that fabulous medallion / doily and backing it with Gold Glimmer paper! This card uses the brand new In Colour; Tranquil Tide… I have a whole video of In Colour goodness tomorrow… but for now just know that they are all stunning!

There are a heap of different combinations of these dies, giving you an endless variety of different medallions and doilies, flowers and decorative pieces. Some of the dies only cut the inside of the shape, while others cut the outside. To create this medallion, you also need the Layering Circle Framelits, because the largest of the dies used to create it only cuts the inside. I am seeing a version with a scalloped edge, and another in Glimmer paper…. might have to get back to the craft desk to make some more!

Cute Hello card using Eastern Beauty from Stampin' Up!

This card also uses a piece of the beautiful Eastern Palace Speciality Designer Series Paper. This paper features peacock inspired patterns and includes two pieces of Gold Foiled paper (hence the inspiration for the Gold on this card), and I have another card using even more Gold later in the week.

You can grab the Eastern Palace bundles over on my Webstore, or drop me a message to place your order. Don’t forget to use the Code Club Code for some exciting free goodies!

Floral Phrases Thank You Card

Floral Phrases Thank You Card using Stampin' Up! products

I recently cleared my craft room of stamps, dies, ribbons, punches, and anything else that is retiring at the end of May. I love this time of year…. the sun is shining (sometimes!), my craft room gets a bit of a spring clean, and we start to see prepare for the launch of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. I won’t keep everything that I have that is retiring… I will be slowly getting rid of things probably during the summer but I will let you know when that happens!

So, I currently have a much reduced crafty stash…. which has done wonders for my creativity! Sometimes we feel we need this thing or that stamp to make great projects… but working with what is actually in your craft room rather than dreaming about this die or that stamp, I find anyway, yields much better results!

Purple Thank you card using Floral Phrases from Stampin' Up!

As I have removed all my retiring stamps from my shelf, I only have current and continuing products to play with…. and I am so excited for this stamp set to find it’s way into the new catalogue, along with a stunning pack of Designer Series paper to match it! This is Floral Phrases, and it has been seen in Night of Navy a LOT in the past 12 months…. just watch this space to see it in some fabulous new colours! Here I have stamped in Perfect plum.

Floral Phrases Thank You Card using Stampin' Up! products

This simple card is finished with a bow in linen thread and a trio of embellishments; two Enamel shapes – one in Perfect Plum, the other Elegant Eggplant – and a Rhinestone.

Simple and pretty, great for wedding thank yous I think!
