Not a Daisy Lane in sight…

Hey folks! So, today’s card uses the stamp set from this month’s FREE Code Club Class; Daisy Lane. But, you wouldn’t know it, because there isn’t a Daisy in sight!

Encouragement card for a guy with Daisy Lane from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I just love this leaf stamp and have a couple of cards coming up that use just the leave, and no Daisy’s! Here it’s stamped in an Ombre effect across the card. Now, I did debate what colours to use, and almost went with blues, but in the end I stuck with traditional greens; Mossy Meadow, Shaded Spruce, Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz.

Leaf Ombre encouragement card using Daisy Lane from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card would be perfect for a male encouragement card, or change the sentiment for a lovely birthday or even a with sympathy.

Before I go today, I do just want to mention about my In Colour Club; booking closes on Saturday! There are still a couple of places available, so grab yours today!

Inspire.Create.Challenge 045 | Embossing with Sailing Home

Hey Folks, its time for another fun Inspire.Create.Challenge and this time its a fun Embossing Challenge! I adore a good technique, and I think that embossing is one of those that is easy for a new crafter… once you’ve decided what time of embossing you’re going to do of course; Heat embossing or dry embossing with an embossing folder!

Card making challenge Embossing

I made this card weeks and weeks ago, actually before baby Niamh arrived (when I was trying to be organised!) and so had almost completely forgotten about it! Cue me having a bit of a panic last week when I realised that it was my turn to write the blog post for the Inspire.Create blog, and that I had NO idea what the challenge was!

Male thanks card using Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Sailing Home is one of my new masculine card favourites. It just makes really nice, simple cards. I’m sure I’ll be doing all sorts of techniques and fun things with it over the coming year, but today I thought I would stick to a bit of heat embossing and that lovely anchor image.

Heat Embossed Thank you card using Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Both the anchor and the sentiment are heat embossed in gold, while the rest of the stamping is in Balmy Blue. Keeping things simple with just a hint of background stamping and a bow in the new Night of Navy and Sahara Sand Bakers Twine to finish.

Loving the embossing? Why not pop over to the Inspire.Create blog and check out the other Design Team members creations, and add your own embossed project too!

Watercolouring with Butterfly Gala

Hey folks! I am completely in LOVE with today’s card. I’ve had this one sat on my desk for weeks, but I’ve been waiting for the Butterfly Gala stamp set and coordinating punch to come back into stock before sharing it with you.

Watercolour Punch art thinking of you card using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

There are a couple of steps to this card, but it’s still simple to create… it just takes a bit of time.

I had a bunch of scraps of watercolour paper out on my desk, and I used Stampin’ Up! classic inks to watercolour them. I was really messy with this, because the butterflies are little and I still wanted you to see that they are watercoloured. There are 4 colours here; Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green.

Create a fun floating Butterfly card using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This is why this card takes a little bit of time, because once those scraps have been watercoloured they need to be left a little while to dry. I but them to one side and carried on making a few more cards before then using the Butterfly Duet punch to punch out those cute butterflies.

You guys know that I’m not a fan of flat cards, I love a bit of dimension, and so some of the butterflies are adhered directly to the card base, and some are popped up on Mini Dimensionals.

You've Been on my mind Butterfly Card watercoloured with Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The sentiment is also from Butterfly Gala, and it’s heat embossed in White onto a scrap of Basic Black card stock.

For all this card could have been called finished at this point, I felt it just needed a little something, so I through a bunch of Rhinestones on there, because, well, you can’t go wrong with a bit of sparkle can you?!

Thank you Bloom and Grow!

Hey folks. Blog post is a little late this morning, basically because I’d forgotten to write it! However, baby is napping so I’ve got 10 minutes to get a bit of a catch up. Today’s card features one of my favourite new Stamp sets; Bloom and Grow

Heat Embossed Thank you card using Bloom and Grow from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This pretty floral stamp set comes bundled with a set of dies too, and they don’t just cut out the flower images, but also have a couple of very cool boarder dies that I cannot wait to have a play with!

I’ve been a bit addicted to heat embossing recently, and this card is no exception with both the flowers and the sentiment being heat embossed. I have to say though, how pretty are those flowers heat embossed in gold?! sometimes simple is best, right?

Pretty floral heat embossed thank you card using Bloom and Grow from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Bloom and Grow is one of those stamp sets that I can see me getting a lot of use out of, partly because of the pretty fonts, but also because there are so many things you could do with those flowers; imagine them coloured with Blends, or watercoloured, or simply stamped in black and white, or used to create a wreath…. so many ideas, so little time!

Pootlers Team Blog Hop | Free as a Bird Thank You Card

Join the Number 1 Stampin' Up! Team in the UK

Hey folks! It’s a special day here today, the first Pootlers Team Blog Hop of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue! I absolutely LOVE taking part in these blog hops, the girls always work so hard to create some fabulous projects to inspire you with some of the new stamps and goodies in the catalogue. I also coordinate these hops, and with the recent birth of my daughter I did consider not running the hop this time, but, they are so much fun I couldn’t miss one!

Thank you card using flower stamps from Free as a Bird from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This time I thought I would share a fun way of using the Free as a Bird stamp set. This stamp set is one of my absolute favourites in the new catalogue, and it forms part of just the most gorgeous suite of products. Bird Ballard includes a bright and fun pack of Designer Series Paper, pretty lace trim, some lovely embellishments and just the most beautiful tin and notecards. I’ll list all the goodies in this suite at the bottom of this blog post.

Pretty watercolour Thank You card using Free as a bird and Bird Ballard from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card was inspired by my friend Stacey Marsh and a card she made using another new stamp set, Sailing Home. I just really liked the diagonal stamping, here I’ve used the pretty flower stamps from Free As A Bird and stamped in Stazon ink onto Shimmer White card stock

Then each flower was (very) loosely watercoloured in either Rococo Rose for the large flowers, or Mint Macaron for the smaller ones.

Rococo Rose Thank You card using Free as a bird from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I did actually originally stamp the sentiment straight onto the card, but it just didn’t quite have the right impact. So, I stamped it again onto a scrap of card stock the same width as the stamped panel and popped it up on some dimensionals.

Now, I love this stamp set, but I do have one issue… it doesn’t have coordinating dies! So, that flower was fussy cut. But, it does actually cut out quite easily, or it does when you only cut one anyway!

Thank so much for checking out my blog today, I would be so grateful if you would check out the projects the other ladies have created for the Pootlers Team Blog Hop. Just click on the images below to be taken to each of their blogs, and I hope to see you again very soon!

Colour Combination

I’ve kept this card super simple, partly because the card didn’t need any more embellishments and partly because I had a baby waking from nap time as I rushed to make this one!

5 Days of Colour | Purple Posy meets Free as a Bird

Hey folks

This card was a real struggle to photograph, Purple Posy is such a subtle colour that I haven’t quite worked out my camera settings yet! However, I have a bit of time to get to grips with it as Purple Posy hasn’t been fully released today with the rest of the catalogue. Unfortunately there is a quality problem with the ink pad and so it’s not available just yet. I will of course let you know when this has been sorted

Free as a bird card using Stampin' Up! products with StampinByHannah

The Free as a Bird Stamp set is another one of my new favourites, and I have another card using it to share with you on Saturday. I am not the biggest bird fan, however, this stamp watercolours so beautifully and you guys know how much I love to watercolour!

Colour Combination

So, this card doesn’t use Purple Posy ink at all, because I don’t have the ink pad either, but I do have the card stock and Designer Series Paper, so I’ve used that instead.

Hello card using Free as a Bird and watercolour with Stampin' Up! and StampinByHannah

In Colour Club

I have a fun In Colour Club running over the next 5 months to allow you to collect all the colours, along with their card stocks, inks, markers, papers and more! Of course, Purple Posy features in this club, but club wont be affected by the current lack of an ink pad.
