Stampin’ Up! OnStage Round Up

Yesterday I shared the Make and Takes from this years Stampin’ Up! OnStage April event in Telford. OnStage is an exclusive Demonstrator event that is held twice each year, in April and November, and we get to see new goodies from upcoming catalogues and releases as well as stamping and getting to see our Stampin’ friends too. I LOVE going to Stampin’ Up! events, whether they are corportate organised (like OnStage) or team events, they are always lots of fun!

I thought I would share a bit of a round up of the day with you today, so you can see why these events are so great to attend, and maybe why you want to become a Demonstrator and be able to go to the next one in Dortmund, Germany! Actually, the next OnStage for us in Europe is a fabulous 3 day Live event, so its’ even bigger!

Swaps

There are several perks of attending OnStage; getting to see new products is just a very small part of the day.

OnStage days usually start pretty early, and once you’ve registered and received your goody bag (which contains a fun gift, new stamp set, pens, and Prize Patrol badge) there is time to find a seat and share create ideas with fellow demonstrators. While this time I didn’t swap any projects (just too much going on with finishing work and baby!) the team did spoil me with a fair number of beautiful swap projects!

Projects

As well as seeing the new catalogue, Demonstrators get to hear fun news from the Stampin’ Up! corporate team, as well as creative ideas from fellow demonstrators who have been lucky enough to get sent some of the new stamps to try!

I love this part of the day, getting to see what other people have made with new stuff is just so fun! I particularly loved THIS card from Julie Kettlewell, and THESE made by one of my Stampin’ Sisters Helzie Slimm.

New stamps!

Then there are the product boards… with some fabulous sneaky peaks of new goodies! I cannot wait to get my hands on that foil paper in the Noble Peacock Suite (my photograph has not done that justice at all!) and the updated prints on the Colour Families Designer Series Papers too!

In addition to all the news and Make and Takes, Demonstrators in attendance are also treated to fabulous Prize Patrols; brand new stamp sets given away throughout the day, as well as the pick of the Make and Takes box at the end! I came away with 3 brand new stamp sets, a pack of some brand new Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Blends and a couple of ink pads too!

I have to say though that these days are about more than just the products for me. It’s about getting some Me time and seeing my Stampin’ Friends! We always have a good giggle!

Come with me!

Want to attend the next Stampin’ Up! OnStage event? Join the team in May to join in with the Annual Catalogue Pre-Order… want more information about joining the team? Just Ask, or check out my Joining Page.

Stampin’ Up! OnStage Make and Takes | April 2019

Oh dear, I probably should have shared these with you a couple of weeks ago, but I have only just around to it!

Back at the start of April I attended Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Telford. OnStage is an exclusive event hosted by Stampin’ Up! twice each year for demonstrators only. This time we got to see heaps of new goodies from the upcoming Annual catalogue! Very Exciting! Particularly as we got to play with some of the new stamps too!

Bird Ballard

Stunning Bird handmade card using Bird Ballard from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This first card uses one of my favourite new suites! Bird Ballard is just so pretty, and features these cute birds as well as some hand-coloured Designer Series Papers! I have a fun class kit coming using this suite next month so do keep your eyes open for that one! It’s one NOT to be missed!

The Designer Series Paper background has been coloured by one of the talented artists at the Stampin’ Up! Home Office using Stampin’ Blends so it will always match your projects. The birds on the branch were stamped and then hand coloured by me using the same markers.

Perennial Essence

Pretty Floral Monet inspired card using Perennial Essence from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This second card uses another new suite of products called Perennial Essence, and features the most GORGEOUS Monet inspired Designer Series Paper.

I have to admit my stamping on this one is a little off, but there was just SO much going on that chatting to my Stampin’ Besties sort of came before the stamping! In fact, I have one Make and Take that I didn’t even get to open, and another that is stamped but not quite finished!

Paper Pumpkin

Hugs from Shelli Paper Pumpkin card for May 2019 with StampinByHannah

This 3rd Make and Take is super special! It’s actually part of a kit that you can get your hands on in May. The Hugs from Shelli Paper Pumpkin kit is the first Paper Pumpkin that has been available world wide, and I am hoping that it means that we might get this fun monthly subscription in the UK very soon! But more about that next week….

Code Club Class for May 2019

Oh I am excited to share this with you today! I have some very exciting changes here at StampinByHannah coming over the next couple of months, and today is the first BIG announcement!

You may have noticed that I didn’t run my Code Club in April, and there were 2 reasons for that; 1. I quite simply forgot! and 2. It’s time for a change. I’ve been running my Code club now for about 2 years, and while it’s great, I want to be able to give you more… and that is where the next phase of my Code Club comes in!

Code Club Class!

Yes, I am starting a fabulous monthly card class just for you lovely people who shop with me and use the Code Club Code!

Each month I will set a new code, and a new class. All you need to do is add the code to the ‘Hostess Code’ section at checkout! Easy as that!

What do you get?

So, when you spend over £25 using the Code Club Code you will receive the tutorials for 4 fun card projects at the end of the month. These cards will also be shared with you on a Facebook Live video over on my Facebook Page. Now, May is super busy with the impending arrival of my baby, and so I don’t have a set date for this month’s Live, but I will let you know

If you spend over £45 using the Code Club Code then as well as the tutorials emailed to you, and the Facebook Live video, you will also receive a fun card kit in the post at the start of the following month, usually around the 7th. This card kit will include Card Stock, Designer Series Paper, Envelopes and a fun embellishment, and will make 4 all occasion cards.

May’s Code Club Class…

Piece of Cake Happy Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Supplies for StampinByHannah's Code Club Class May 2019

This month I thought I would use the fabulous Piece of Cake Bundle in my Code Club Class, so do consider adding this to your order. While I’m thinking about it, you’ll find this bundle on the Last Chance List, the stamps and punch are both in the new Annual catalogue, however the bundle price that saves you 10% is going away, so May is the perfect time to take it home!

Dates and notes!

So, each month the Code Club Code and subsequent class with change on the 1st, and close on the 28th; same as my previous Code Club.

I will aim to get the Tutorial emails out to you on the last day of the month, and the class kits out by the 7th of the following month. Any changes to this will be communicated to you using the email you provide when you place your order in my Stampin’ Up! store.

Code Club Class is only available in the UK at the moment, although if you live in France, Germany, Austria, or The Netherlands, you can still order using the code to receive the Tutorial Bundle

Inspire.Create.Challenge #042 | Welcome Baby Card

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a theme, and seeing as I set the challenges for Inspire.Create, and my baby is due any day (as I write this…. who know’s if it might have arrived before this post goes live!), I was a bit cheeky and set us a Baby themed challenge this time!

Fun Neutral Welcome baby card using Animal Outing from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card actually features a bit of a sneaky peak… that fun background is a brand new background stamp called Birch, that I was lucky enough to receive as a Prize Patrol at Stampin’ Up! OnStage last month. Here it is stamped in Soft Suede stamped off once, and then layered with a sheet of Vellum to make it even softer.

The Welcome and that cute Giraffe are from Animal Outings, which is a current set that is carrying forward into the new catalogue. I am super happy that this one is staying, it’s just so handy for baby and young children’s cards. I shared another baby card using the sentiments from it a little while ago.

Cute Giraffe Baby card using Animal Outings from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

One of my other favourite products that are carrying over into the new Annual Catalogue is the super pretty Stitched Labels dies, and I’ve used them here to add some extra layers behind our Giraffe Friend.

I suppose this card is slightly more boy that girl, but I was aiming for a neutral… because we don’t know the gender of our baby. But you could switch out the blue for a yellow or pink to make it more feminine.

First Frost Congratulations

On Saturday I shared 3 fun cards based on a challenge set by the InspireINK team, however they weren’t the only cards I made for the challenge! Today’s card was my original creation…

Pretty Congratulations card using First Frost from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card uses the First Frost stamp set and coordinating Frosted Bouquet framelits. This set was originally part of the Stampin’ Up! Christmas catalogue last year, but its just so versatile, and is perfect for more occasions that just Christmas.

Here I’ve stamped the background in Night of Navy, and then used 2 different ink pads (Highland Heather and Mango Melody) to ink up one of the floral sprays which is then die cut and popped up on Dimensionals.

Celebrate with Ink Blending!

A few weeks ago my fabulous friend Amanda shared THIS fun card, and I just HAD to have a go at creating my own version.

I am such a sucker for a good technique, and I love some ink blending, but I haven’t done it for ages. Amanda’s card used a really pretty colour combination that I had not considered before and so I also used the same…

Ink Blended Celebrate card using Stampin' Up! supplies with StampinByHannah

I used a sponge (or 4) to add Melon Mambo, Highland Heather, Mango Melody and Coastal Cabana onto a piece of Shimmery White card stock. This method of Ink Blending starts off looking quite subtle, but the more ink you add the brighter the colours become. Once I had the ink nice and bright, I took some water and dropped it onto the piece to create a fun watercolour-y look, and add some texture.

I then left it to dry, before using the Stitched Rectangles to die cut this piece out.

The ink blended panel is then popped up onto a Thick Whisper White card base with some dimensionals.

The sentiment is die cut from the Celebrate You thinlits dies which are sadly retiring at the end of May. I die cut 4 of these, and used another retiring item, the Multi-Purpose Adhesive Sheets, to glue them together and give some more dimension to the card.

This card is finished with a trio of Glitter Enamel Shapes.

InspireINK Blog Hop | 3 Cards using Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin’ Up!

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hey folks! I am so excited that I managed to get my cards made for this months InspireINK blog hop! I sadly missed last month as time just ran away from me, but this month’s challenge is just fab and I knew I couldn’t miss it!

InspireINK blog hop Stampin' Up! Colour Tic Tac Toe challenge April 2019

This month the girls are creating using the above grid. The challenge is to use 3 of the colours to make a project. Now, I made one… and then I just HAD to make another, so I’ve actually got 3! But they do match, so I’m running with it!

InspireINK blog hop 3 ways with Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

So, the first card uses the first 3 colours on the left hand side of the grid; Highland Heather, Night of Navy and Mango Melody. I’ve actually made another card with this colour combo and I’ll share that one with you later in the week.

All my cards today have a similar look, using the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set and coordinating Bouquet Bunch framelits; both of which are carrying forward into the new Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue! Yay!

Fun Floral Birthday Card using Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The second card uses the next 3 colours in the grid; Real Red, Blackberry Bliss and Coastal Cabana.

The cards also use my favourite Stitched Shapes framelits (also carrying forward), and each card uses a different shape. The die cut shapes are popped up on Dimensionals and you can see a hint of colour from the backing card through the front of the card.

Pretty Friendship card using Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The third card is another colour combination; Granny Apple Green, So Saffron and Mossy Meadow.

The Beautiful Bouquet stamps are so pretty, there are lots of different floral images and leaves, and then many have coordinating dies too. The sentiment in this set though are where I get excited! Many of them come in pairs, so you not only have a pretty sentiment for the front of your project, but also a heartfelt saying for the inside too!

Thanks a Bunch Floral thank you card using Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Each card is also finished with a hint of bling, because every card needs a bit of sparkle!
