Fancy Fold Friday – Centre Step Card

Hello! Welcome to another Fancy Fold Friday!

This card was so complicated! I very very nearly gave up with it all together, and I’ve got to say that the DSP dimensions were pure luck! However, i decided I would share the basic structure of the card with you.

Stampin' Up! UK Centre Step Card

This card uses Pool Party Cardstock cut to 8 1/4″ by 5 3/4″. You’re going to need to grab that Stampin’ Trimmer for this one! Cut two lines in the card stock, the first at 1 3/4″ from 1 3/4 to 4 3/4″ and then at 4 1/4″ from 1 3/4 to 4 3/4″. This should give you two slits in your piece of card. Then score along the long edge at 2″, at the start of the two slits (between the two slits ONLY!), at 4 1/8″ either side of the cuts, and between the two slits at 5 3/4″ and at the end of the slits.

Stampin' Up! UK Centre Step Card

This card also features stamps from Blooming with Kindness and Petite Petals (along with the Petite Petal punch) and the Sentiment is punch using the Decorative Label Punch

Let me know in the comments below if you want a video tutorial on some of the fancy folds featured as part of Fancy Fold Friday!

See you again next week

So thankful for you!

Hello!

 

I thought I would take a step away from Christmas just for a moment! To say thanks!

Last week I featured the Festival of Trees Stamp Set (still not sick of that set yet! I just LOVE it!), and had such a great response from all of you (both here and on facebook!) and just wanted to say thanks to all of you!

Stampin' Up! UK Calypso Coral Good GreetingsI love bright colours, and rich colours, really I just love colour! but coral isn’t really my colour. So, when I looked through which ink pads I didn’t own a few weeks ago, it wasn’t a surprise to me that Calypso Coral hadn’t worked its way into my basket. But all of the Stampin’ Up! colours are just so beautiful I decided to take a chance on the coral!

How cute is this colour! It’s definitely on the orange spectrum, but its so soft and pretty! and please tell me, what is prettier than butterflies and flowers! So, I grabbed the Papillon Potpourri stamp set, and I Like You (hostess set), along with our Product of the Month – Good Greetings! and stamped this card!

There are actually two butterflies here, I punched one butterfly out of Calypso Coral DSP from the Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack, and then added the stamped and punched butterfly over the top with a single Glue Dot to give some great dimension!

I am so Thankful for you! Thanks so much for all your comments and orders. Check out my Facebook page HERE! and shop HERE!

Right, Card!

Stampin' Up! UK I like you Stampin Write Markers

 

This card uses a Crushed Curry Card base, and a piece of Colour Me Autumn DSP (the colours in this pack of DSP are gorgeous – Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze, Old Olive! <3). I stamped the DSP with Crushed Curry ink using the Hello Darling Stamp set (one of the ones I chose as my freebies!).

I coloured the Flower stamp with my Stampin’ Write Markers in Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Old Olive, before stamping onto the DSP

 

 

Stampin' Up! UK I like you Stampin Write Markers

 

The sentiment for this card comes from the FREE good greetings stamp set, stamped in Mossy Meadow onto the same DSP, and punched out using the Modern Label Punch, layered with two other punched pieces

I didn’t think Crushed Curry was really going to be my colour! Boy, was I Wrong!

Fancy Fold Friday – Steps of a Festival!

So, this is the last post of our week of Festival of Trees 🙁

I really do love this stamp set (can you tell!) and I’m sure I have plenty of crafting left with it before it leaves us on January 5th 2015

As its Fancy Fold Friday, I couldnt end the week without doing a Fancy Fold Festival of Trees card – this week, Stepper Cards!

FFF - stepper 1

This card is a little complex to cut and score. The cardbase (here in Mossy Meadow) is cut to 8 1/4 by 5 3/4, and is scored on the short side at 2″, and on the long side at 4 1/8″, and 2 1/8, 5 1/4. 6 1/4/ ad 7 1/8 to the 2″ score line.

Side Stepper Card Score Dimentions

Using you Stampin’ Trimmer, cut the 2″ score line between the 2 1/8″ score line and 7 1/8″. The next trick is folding. Fold the 7 1/8″ score line away from you, folding the other lines like a concertina, ensuring that the 4 1/8″ score line on the unscored side is also folded away from you.

This should give you a side stepper card!

As it is Festival of Trees week, I have decorated my Side Stepper as a forest, using two of the tree stamps, the star and both of the sentiments.

FFF - stepper 2

Have I mentioned how much I love how Stampin’ Up! products coordinate – the festival of trees star stamp which works perfectly with the star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack! LOVE IT!

In addition to the Mossy Meadow cardstock, this card features Very Vanilla cardstock, and Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz and Real Red inks!

Can wait for next week!

because no Festival is complete without some Gold (buttons)

Well, its Thursday, which means we’re nearly at the end of our Festival of Trees week here at StampinByHannah, I still love this stamp set. I’ve made classic and modern cards, and used both traditional and non-traditional colour schemes.

Today we return to the traditional looking Christmas Card – with Garden Green, Real Red, and …. Gold!!!

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees Gold Buttons

This card uses a card base of Garden Green, with the tree also stamped in the same ink. The DSP is from the Trim The Tree Designer Series Paper Stack (awesome papers, great value for money!), in Sahara Sand. I’ve then added some of the Real Red Woven Ribbon (super pretty) and  a few of the Gold Basic Metal Buttons!

So simple, but super effective!

Check back tomorrow for our last day of our Festival of Trees week!

Forest of Festival of Trees

Continuing our journey with the Festival of Trees, today I have a more technique based card.

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees gradient stamping

This card is a Mossy Meadow card base, with Very Vanilla card front. The Trees are triple stamped – first stamped in Pear Pizzazz, the Old Olive and finally Mossy Meadow – but each time some ink is removed from the stamp before stamping, using a microfibre cloth. This means that the Pear Pizzazz layer is the whole tree, then ink up the stamp with Old Olive – rubbing the very edges of the stamp with your cloth to remove the ink from the tips of the leaves, then stamp. As Festival of Trees is a Photopolymer stamp set this is super easy, but you could use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to make this even easier. Then ink the stamp again with Mossy Meadow this time, removing all the ink except the very middle / trunk of the tree. This technique creates a lovely gradated image.

The sentiment on this card is from White Christmas

Dont forget to check back again tomorrow for another Festival of Trees project

All is Calm for the Festival of Trees (week)

Welcome to day 2 of our Festival of Trees week.

Today, I thought we’d have a non-traditional colour scheme – Blue, green and grey (Pear Pizzazz, Lost Lagoon, and Smokey Slate)

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees All is Calm

 

This DSP, All is Calm, is diffinately I massive hit from this years Autumn Winter Catalogue, its a lovely blend of muted colours and that gorgeous Lost Lagoon (LOVE IT!!!)

This card uses a Pear Pizzazz card base, with Whisper White piece and that lovely DSP. The Tree is stamped in Pear Pizzazz with Lost Lagoon dots, and jewel highlights. That lovely ribbon is also from the Autumn Winter Catalogue, and can be found on page 22 (with that DSP!)

hope you like this cute card

See you again tomorrow for more Trees!

Festival of Trees Week!!!!!

Well Hello there! Welcome to StampinByHannah, and to Festival of Trees Week!

I love this stamp set! I have already made so many cards with it, used it in workshops, and had a go a little viral on Pinterest! Yay! and seeing as its Stampin’ Up! European Convention this coming Weekend (and I cant go 🙁 ) I thought I would celebrate blog style – with an awesome week of awesome cards!

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees Under the Tree

I love this colour combination – its just so festive! The cardbase is in Garden Green, with a card front using the Under the Tree Speciality Paper (great for boxes with the gift box punch board to!) The Tree is stamped in Garden Green on one of the builder tags from the Under The Tree Tag a Bag Accessory Kit (which is also where the other tag and the bakers twine is from!).

That super cute sentiment is from a limited edition stamp set, available until the end of the month, if you place an order (or host a party) of over £200. I love it, it has a collection of lovely holiday sentiments all in this lovely handwritten font

 

 

Check back tomorrow for more cards using Festival of Trees

Fancy Fold Friday – Zig Zag Fold

Hello! Welcome to the second in my series of ‘fancy fold’ cards!

This week, I’ve made a Zig-Zag fold card, using Real Red and Flashback DSP.

I do love designer series paper – I love patterns, and colour, and really I’m just a stationary geek! (yes, I love staples and paperclips too!), but I really struggle to use DSP on cards! I love using it for scrapbooking, I use masses of 12×12 papers on layouts and in Project Life, but on cards, I get a little stuck!

Stampin' Up! UK Zig Zag fold card Flashback DSP

This card, although it looks complex, is really simple to create. The cardbase is cut at 8 1/4 by 5 3/4, then (and this is the only complicated bit!) you need to line one corner of the cardstock up with the top corner of your papertrimmer, then line the corner diagonally opposite to it up with the 4″ line on your trimmer – this will create the slopping angle to the top of the card. The card is then embellished with the Flashback DSP cut the same as the cardbase, before trimming 1/2″ from the bottom edge, and cut into 2 1/2″ strips.

FFF - zig zag 1

The card was then completed with three punched flowers, stamped using the Something to Say stamp set, and punched using the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack. The sentiment is only available until the end of October, place an order (or host a party) of over £200, and earn this stamp set for FREE! its so super cute, and has some lovely sentiments for Christmas and Halloween crafting.

See you again next week
