Share it Sunday Blog Hop | Timeless Arrangements…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! I LOVE taking part in this blog hop, its always such an eclectic mix of fun ideas and inspiration. You can find the list of everyone taking part at the end of this post.

I have been loving have a play about with the Timeless Arrangements stamp set and matching dies… This card is a CASE of THIS card.

The Designer Series Paper here is from Masterfully Made (and I LOVE it!) in Berry Burst. I added a little hint of some stamping before layering all the die cut pieces. Most of the dies in this set have two sprigs of foliage, but I’ve cut them apart here to make them go a bit further.

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | Back to School with Just My Type…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Stampin’ Dreams blog hop. This month we are looking at Back to School… which I have to say, in the 3rd week of the school holidays here I am absolutely not ready for. For me its less about ‘Back’ to school but ‘Starting’ school this year as my daughter starts full time school this September. (yes, just typing that made me cry!) and so my project is made for her new teacher.

I absolutely LOVE the Just My Type stamp set… that typewriter is a piece of me! Here I’ve done a whole heap of fussy cutting and added a bit of Rainbow magic to create a fun Hello Card, perfect for teacher on the first day of term.

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | A Subtle take on Textured Florals…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Crafty Challenge. This month we had 5 items to aim for; Subtles, Standard Horizontal, Ribbon, Masking and For You. I did my best, and I think I hit them all…

I used the Subtles collection here, pulling out Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, Soft Seafoam and Pool Party, with the Textured Floral Stamp set. The sentiment was stamped first and then masked off with a bit of Sticky Note tape, before I stamped the floral images.

Global Design Project #393 | For You Friend

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. I am really enjoying joining in with the Global Design Project at the moment, and this week’s challenge is colour; Flirty Flamingo, Coastal Cabana and Smokey Slate.

Todays card uses the Love For You Stamp set and dies, along with the Tailor Made Tags and Essentials Embossing Folders.

The Card base and leaves are in Coastal Cabana, while the flowers are Flirty Flamingo stamped off once.

The card is finished with a bit of Smoky Slate ink splatter (a technique I haven’t used for ages… and then I’ve done twice in a week!)

Global Design Project #378 | Beautifully Happy

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Global Design Project idea. This week their challenge is a sketch. When I saw this on Monday I jumped onto Facebook Live and made this card. I would LOVE to share the video, but the Facebook pixies are being a bit naughty and I appear to have some sort of tech issue… which I have no idea how to solve! So, I will aim to re-record the video over the next couple of days.

The Beautifully Happy stamp set is currently available for FREE when you spend £90 during Sale-a-bration!

Share It Sunday | Warm Welcome Stepped Up Card

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. When it came to making a card for this Sunday’s blog hop, I was looking through the complete mess on my desk, and spotted THESE CARDS that I made as part of last Sunday’s Facebook Live, and thought this would be a great opportunity to created a ‘Stepped Up’ version.

Rainbow stamping with Warm Welcome from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card uses the Warm Welcome bundle, and this time I have added some Stylish Shapes die cuts, vellum, and linen thread. The original version of this card had the presents coloured with blends, but this time I have used Watercolour Pencils on Sahara Sand card stock for a softer look.

Quick Handmade Sympathy Card using Stampin’ Up! Products

Hey folks! Just a quick blog post from me today. I made a few of these cards a few weeks ago when we sadly lost James’s 100 year old Nannie. As I was filming the day I made them, I decided that I would jump on and film these as well, so here we are. A type of card we often need, but never really want to make.

How to made a quick Sympathy card using Painted Poppies and Peaceful Moments from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

These use the Painted Poppies stamp set, along with Peaceful Moments. These two stamp sets were part of the same suite a few years ago, and still work really well together. The background uses the Birch background stamp, and I’ve also added a Stitched So Sweetly die cut because I can’t create without these at the moment!

Just For You Sweet Strawberry

The Sweet Strawberry stamp and punch bundle is one of my favourites from this years January-June Mini Catalogue. The stamp set includes both the outline images and solid stamps for strawberries, leaves and flowers, so you can quickly ‘colour in’ the images, with just a stamp!

The strawberries here were stamped in Stazon ink onto watercolour paper. Then I used the solid strawberry stamps to add the Poppy Parade colour. I did then spritz these with water, but to be honest I think you could have done away with that step as it doesn’t add a whole lot to the overall finished card (I just love watercolour effects!)

Sweet Strawberry Just for you card using Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The Designer Series Paper on this card is FREE during Sale-a-bration when you spend £90, and it comes with another coordinating stamp set too! The Designer Series Paper includes images of fruit, florals and patterns, and is so fabulously versitile, it would even work for guy cards.

Quick Designer Series Paper card using Berry Blessings from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Do you have a card layout you keep coming back to? I certainly do, and this is one of them, with the Designer Series Paper folded back on one side so you can see both sides of the paper at once. I LOVE this one using the Coming Home Bundle, or THIS one using Forever Fern.

The strawberries were added with a punch circle on Vellum with Dimensionals, and then the sentiment was simply stamped in black ink.
