Lift Me Up! | Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Card and PDF download using Lift Me Up from Stampin' Up! UK

I have already shared today’s card over on my Facebook page, but I love it so much that I couldn’t help but share it here too!

I have mentioned before about how I was given this stamp and die bundle to make display samples for a Stampin’ Up! event back in November. I had so much fun with it, and after playing with all my other new stamps recently I just keep coming back to this Balloon die.

You can find the full instructions for this card, and two other using the same stamp set in my PDF DOWNLOAD

Question of the Day: What is your favourite thing to do on a rainy day?

Stamping, of course!

Sale-a-bration Wednesday | Dancing Inside the Lines

Sale-a-bration Inside the Lines from Stampin' Up!

Sale-a-bration is now in full swing, and I am loving it! There are so many great reasons to be a part of it!

For starters you can be a part of Sale-a-bration by simply shopping, spend £45 and choose one of the awesome Sale-a-bration freebies…. of course you could spend multiples of £45 and get multiple free gifts! Awesome!

This card uses one of my favourite freebies, the Inside the lines Designer Series Paper;

This particular piece of paper though, I cannot image colouring in… I just don’t have the patience for that. So instead, I grabbed out my Sponge Brayer instead.

Of course, there is another even more awesome way to get involved in Sale-a-bration! You could grab the ultimate Stampin’ bundle! The Ultimate Stampin’ bundle is £130 worth of stampin’ goodies of your choice (yes, it is totally customise-able), and then you can choose another 2 stamp sets from the Spring Summer or Annual catalogue for FREE, you get free postage and packing, and then 20% off all your Stampin’ Up! products while you remain with the team too. Awesome! I would love to welcome you to my team of Stampin’ Friends! just ask me how!

Question of the day: What is your favourite Stampin’ Up! stamp set?

I’m not sure I could choose, I’m loving Beautiful You at the moment, but Jar of Love still has a BIG place in my heart too, and Awesomely Artistic, Gorgeous Grunge… Butterfly Basics, Picture Perfect……. the list goes on and on and on!

Make It Monday | Cute card using Sweet Cupcake from Stampin’ Up! UK

Make It Monday video tutorial using Sweet cupcake and watercolour pencils from Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome to Monday! I do hope this week is totally awesome for you…. I can make it even more awesome of course! Have you checked out my most recent Online Card Class yet? This class uses the fabulous Sweet Cupcake stamp and die bundle…. check the video to see exactly what comes in your class pack

I love the Sweet Cupcake stamp set. It is designed to work as a triple layer stamp, with both the cupcake base and the icing have 3 stamps to create a totally dimensional cupcake. However, I have only used the base layer to create this card…. and then added extra detail with Watercolour Pencils (obsessed with those!)

The watercolour pencils can be used either on their own – as regular pencils – with an Aqua Painter or a paint brush, or with a blender pen. So far my experiments with a blender pen seem to have better blended results that with an Aqua-Painter or a paint brush, but then I haven’t finished playing with them yet…

Balloon Adventures | It’s Your Birthday!

Birthday Card Club Birthday Card using Balloon Adventures from Stampin' Up! UK

I have mentioned before about how much I am loving playing with the Balloon Adventures stamp set, so much that is has its own Birthday Card Club! This great club gives you 4 birthday cards a month for 6 months, and includes all the stamps, card stock and embellishments you need to make them, along with a list of instructions too! Today is the last day to sign up to Club, and I will be sending out your stamps and your first pack of card kits at the end of next week!

I think my favourite bit of this card (other than that great die cut!) is the ribbon! You all know that bow’s are totally not my greatest skill, but this ribbon makes bow tying so much easier. It’s the brand new 1/8″ Taffeta ribbon in Emerald Envy, that coordinates with the Party Animal suite. I will put the full suite in the product list at the end of this post.

Don’t forget to grab your place on the Birthday Card Club, remember today is the last day to sign up. I will be closing the books at midnight, so sign up now so you don’t miss out!

Question of the day:

I haven’t done one of these for a while, but I am bringing them back! So, today’s question…… What is your favourite page in the new Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer catalogue?

I don’t think I could pick one page, can I choose it all?! lol

Team Colour Challenge | Sweet Cupcake

Team Colour Challenge Thank You card using Sweet Cupcake from Stampin' Up! UK

Every now and again someone in my team of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators we set a challenge, sometimes its business related, and other times its creative. A few weeks ago we set a challenge to create a card using two colours (plus a neutral) that were selected at random – by random I mean I spun my colour caddy with my eye shut and pulled out two inks – Marina Mist and Smoky Slate!

My current Online Card Class features the Sweet Cupcake stamp set, and I was just gathering ideas for cards for my class when this colour challenge came up. So I took advantage of the free theme to make a card using Sweet Cupcake as practice. You can find out more about my Sweet Cupcake class on my Online Card Class page.

This card was pretty simple to put together; the cupcake is super easy to stamp even though its in 3 layers, they line up really easily, I thought I would share a video using this stamp set again so you can see how easy it is to stamp.

I would love you to join in! Just select two inks totally at random and use those colours to make a project! Share with me in the coordinating post over on my Facebook Page, and I will select a winner next week. Entries close, midnight (UK) on 25th January 2017, and I’ll announce the winner on my blog!

Thanks for checking out StampinByHannah today, and I hope to see you again soon

Question of the day: What is your favourite type of cupcake?

Me? I just love cake! any flavour, any size, although the more chocolate the better!

Sale-a-bration Wednesday | December Thank You Cards

Sale-a-bration thank you card using So very much from Stampin' up! UK

I am LOVING this Sale-a-bration! There are so many great products to get for FREE when you shop! you can check them out my clicking on the Sale-a-bration picture on the right (or at the bottom if your on a mobile device) of this blog post.

I made a stack of these for my December Customers. They are super simple to put together, and I made all the flowers during an hour long team call with my team leader a few weeks ago. I will quite often craft on calls to team members, or my team leader, also long as they are quiet crafty jobs! (ie: no big shot work!). The flowers on these cards use the Faux Suede technique, where you punch out the shape, and then manipulate the card stock back and forward until the layers of card stock separate. This then shows the fluffy fibres of the card stock and looks like suede! I did a Make It Monday a few weeks ago on this technique, complete with a video for you to enjoy!

Global Design Project #070 | Falling for you…. and a ladybird!

Global Design Project Celebration card using Falling in Love with Lots of Love from Stampin' Up! UK

Oh yes, I’m back working with a Global Design Project sketch again this week. I am planning for this to be my weekly Tuesday blog post, however last week was crazy from the second I opened my eyes on Monday morning, and the crazy didn’t end until Sunday night…. I’m hoping for calm this week (but something tells me everything is about to go pear shaped again!)

I love the simplicity of this sketch, and I did have a plan to keep things really simple…. but then I spotted the couple of ladybirds on my stamp shelves and things went a little differently!

But aren’t they just so cute! I knew I wanted to use Designer Series Paper for the banner across the card, and I haven’t been able to put this pack of DSP away recently – its the brand new Sending Love Designer Series Paper stack that features loads of lovely patterns, one side of the paper is love / Valentines themed while the other is great polka dots and other more neutral patterns, but all in Real Red and Whisper White.

Those cute Ladybirds are from the Love You Lots, this fabulous stamp set is available with Stampin’ Rewards… and seeing as you have even more Stampin’ Rewards during Sale-a-bration this would be the perfect time to get your hands on it!

Thanks for checking out my blog today, and I hope to see you again soon

Question of the Day: What are you doing today?

I’m off to the day job today, a lovely 9-5 day…. although I’m then off to the gym for the first time in, well lets just call it slightly too long! Wish me luck!

Pootlers Blog Hop | Special Reason

Pootles Papercraft Team Blog Hop project using Special Reason from Stampin' Up! UK

Hello everyone! Wow I am so proud of all the girls this month. As you may know I organise and run this blog hop, and we hop as a team to celebrate the launch of a new Stampin’ Up! catalogue. We haven’t hopped since September last year, and with the start of the year being so busy I wasn’t expecting to have such a big hop…. well these girls are awesome, we have 20 lovely ladies sharing their projects with you today. Check out the end of this blog post to find a list of all the ladies and links to their blogs, please check them out and leave them some comment love!

I thought I would challenge myself to use a stamp and die set that I haven’t spent much time with, but also to use a new (to me) colour combination. So I grabbed the Special Reason stamp and die bundle, and the colours Night of Navy, Emerald Envy and Crushed Curry for this card.

I have added an extra stamp set in here, I recently found a home in my craft room for Touches of Texture, but I hadn’t had chance to use it either. So I’ve added a splatter of Crushed Curry, behind the die cuts and sentiment.

Before I go, I would also love to remind you that we are in the middle of Sale-a-bration! and so can get a FREE Sale-a-bration item everytime you spend £45 in a single order, and if you grabbed everything I used to make this card you would get to pick TWO freebies! Yay!

I hope you have enjoyed this project, now please do click on to the see the other projects in our blog hop!

Sale-a-bration Wednesday | So Very Much

Thank you card usng So Very Much from Sale-a-bration 2017 Stampin' Up! UK

Oh Yes, I’m blogging on a Wednesday for the next 3 months during Sale-a-bration! Have you checked out the awesome Sale-a-bration deals yet? You totally should…. after looking at my card for today though!

I had a nightmare with this card! Last week I hosted a Sale-a-bration launch party over on my Facebook page, now normally I’m super organised, with projects made and photographed weeks in advance, but I just haven’t quite got back into the swing of things after Christmas yet, and I was running a little behind my usual ‘ahead-of-time’ schedule. Which left me needing to photograph my party projects the morning of the event…. and this was of course the morning my lights decided to die! Anyway, one of my lovely Stampin’ Sisters came to my rescue and totally saved the day….. and I learned a valuable lesson about being more organised!

This card uses the totally stunning So Very Much stamp set – Free with a £45 purchase during Sale-a-bration! – and it is stamped in Early Espresso ink onto a piece of Designer Series Paper taken from the Serene Scenery Designer Series Paper Stack. So pretty.

Sale-a-bration has 3 parts; shop, host and join, and while you can shop as normal and earn free products (shop) or do a super spend of £200 and earn extra Stampin’ Rewards (Host), its the joining offer that has me most excited! Now, the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit is always a best deal; choose £130 worth of Stampin’ treats, pay just £99, and then get 20% discount! But during Sale-a-bration it gets even better because you can add TWO stamp sets to your kit for FREE! now, that’s not stamps from the Sale-a-bration brochure, that’s stamps that you would normally have to pay for from the Annual or Spring Summer catalogues… for FREE! Loving that!

Some of the stamps you could get for free…
