Global Design Project 418 | Love for You…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah and another Global Design Project idea. So, I made a card for last week.. posted it on Social Media and completely forgot to share it here! Honestly, head has been in the shed for the past couple of weeks… so many shifts at work and juggling childcare hasn’t left me with a lot of brain space for crafting, let alone blogging and sharing.

This week’s challenge is a sketch, and I have kept fairly strictly to it this time. The stripes in the background are hand drawn using a Stampin’ Blend. I’ve gone for a bit of tone on tone here with Orchid Oasis card stock and Blends.

The flowers and sentiment are from the Love For You bundle, and are stamped in Sweet Sorbet, Crushed Curry and Boho Blue.

I have a video for this card coming on Saturday. but wanted to get it uploaded here first.

Global Design Project #408 | Case the Designer with Love for you from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I’ve been playing along with the Global Design Project again. Actually this week, I’ve used it as a bit of jumping off point, with the Summer holidays here things are a bit busy, and I haven’t made it into my craft room for over a week! So, when I got some time this afternoon, I didn’t really know what to create… I love a challenge for this, and this week’s card inspiration is so stunning I had to have a go too.

I’ve used the Love For You stamp set and coordinating dies for this card, and a fun colour combination of Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Lost Lagoon and Blueberry Bushel (and a bit of black!)

Global Design Project 404 | Ink Blended Trucking Along…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Global Design Project. This week’s challenge is to CASE a project from the ever talented Susan Wong. I’ve been playing with the Trucking Along bundle, and have a bunch of projects to share… but this card sort of appeared on my desk this morning! (Don’t you just love it when that happens?!)

I have been sorting my scraps recently, and came across a piece of vellum with a circle die cut from it… and so I used it here as a mask to create the ink blended circle. The colours here are Sweet Sorbet, Crushed Curry, Azure Afternoon and Starry Sky.

The truck, clouds and sentiment are all from Trucking Along.

Global Design Project #396 | Waves of Inspiration…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I know this post is going out kind of late on a Friday night, but this is the first opportunity I have had in even think about crafting in the last 10 days. But, I wanted to get this card out this evening… so here we are! While I’m thinking about it, my next job is to write tomorrow’s email, if you don’t get my emails already, you can add yourself to my list HERE.

This card is inspired by a card from the fabulous Krista Frattin. You can find the original on the Global Design Project blog post.

I’ve used the Waves of Inspiration stamp set, and coordinating Waves dies, but wave very inspired by Krista’s card layout and colour combination.

Global Design Project #392 | Watercolour with Natures Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for my take on this week’s Global Design Project CASE the Designer Challenge. Check out the inspiration card HERE. I was inspired by the watercolour rectangle and black stamping for this card.

This card uses the Natures Prints stamp set; did you know this stamp set has a splatter stamp? I used it to create the background panel and to add some extra detail on the watercolour piece.

Speaking of the watercolour, this is Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat; 2 of the brand new In-Colours! So pretty.

Creative Colour Challenges #84 | Pansy Patch

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for my second colour challenge of the week. Today I thought I would share this week’s Creative Colour Challenge combination; Balmy Blue, Orchid Oasis and Petal Pink.

I am currently diving into my stamp shelf and trying to use stamps I haven’t used in a while… and I actually cannot remember the last time I inked this one! I love that Pansy Patch is carrying forward into the new Annual Catalogue, its so pretty and really versatile too.

I love a two step stamp, and these flowers are 3 step, but super easy to line up (and it doesn’t really matter if they aren’t perfect because they still look lovely).

The background panel, a piece of Orchid Oasis Card stock, is embossed using one of the trio of embossing folders in the Online Exclusives.

Global Design Project 389 | Colour In the Moment…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. This week I have 2 colour challenges to share with you; Global Design Project today and another tomorrow. This week’s Global Design Project colour combination initially scared me… its a trio I wouldn’t usually use together (it’s a bit bright for me if I’m honest), but I stood in front of my stamp shelf and the In The Moment set jumped out at me…

The image was stamped in Memento and then coloured using Stampin’ Blends in Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Tahitian Tide (plus a hint of Crumb Cake).

I had fun playing with ink to create this background. I did have something very bold in my mind initially, but ended up liking this better. The mask is from the Loveliest Layers Decorative Masks pack, which is about to retire (and has a discount!).

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | Thank you Lovely Linen!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Crafty Challenge blog hop. This month we were given a number of different ideas and basically told to pick the ones we liked and felt inspired by, and then create! So that I what I did… Inspired by the terms; Sponging, Thank You, Pearls and Standard Horizontal.

I love this piece of Designer Series Paper, from Lovely Linen (Annual Catalogue) and I’ve sponged (well, ink blended because I couldn’t be bothered to dig out my sponges!), the edges with Evening Evergreen ink.

The Thank You is from Something Fancy, and die cut using the coordinating dies.

This card is finished with a little White Crinkle Seam Binding ribbon, and a trio of Iridescent Pearls.

Global Design Project #377 | Repeat stamping with Alphabest

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. I thought I would share the card I made last night, inspired by this weeks Global Design Project colour challenge using So Saffron, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green.

I saw a card on Instagram using Alphabest, and was reminded that I have this set completely un-inked on my shelf. The alphabet is cute, but for me this stamp set wins on the “background” pieces. So cute!

I have added Sahara Sand to the colour combination, just to break it up a little, and finished this card with a bow of White Crinkle Seam Binding and a trio of Milky Dots.

Happy Birthday Splendid Day | Global Design Project #365

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I know, I dont usuallly blog this late. I am trying to be more organised with my posts, but right now I just need to blog when I can. So, here we are, with me writing a blog post a 7PM on a Friday evening (gosh, I lead an exciting life!)… Anyway, I made this card last night for the Global Design Project CASE Challenge this week, using THIS fabulous card by Emma Goddard as inspiration. Now, Emma’s card uses my current fav Ray of Light stamp, but I have managed to resist using it on my project (although… I do think it would make a great background here, maybe that’s a card for next week!)

Happy Birthday Splendid thoughts card using Biggest Wish from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I used Emma’s card layout and colour palate as inspiration, but used the Splendid Thoughts stamp and die bundle, and Biggest Wish for the sentiment

Instead of reaching for Ray of Light, the background is a ink blended soft circle of Pear Pizzazz ink, and added a splatter of Tahitian Tide ink.
