InspireINK | Halloween inspired Birthday Card…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months InspireINK blog hop. This month we have a colour combination;

I’m sure those into Halloween will have heaps of ideas with this combination, but for me its a bit of a struggle. In the end I’ve opted to make a card I have made before… just in a different colour combination.

This is my ‘go-to’ card design for those tricky to make Male birthday cards. Super simple stamping with Rays of Light and a sentiment from Biggest Wish.

Global Design Project 410 | Gift of Giving

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Global Design Project entry! This week its a Sketch Challenge, and rather that using the boxes as suggested, if switched it for some repeat stamping with Gift of Giving instead.

I’m not totally sure I’m sold on this colour combination; Granny Apple Green, Parakeet Party and Poppy Parade… its a bit too Christmas-y for me! However, I do LOVE the repeat stamping on this one.

Global Design Project #394 | Thanks Petal Park Slimline Card Idea

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another fun Global Design Project Challenge. This week its a fabulous sketch, which specified a Slimline card. This is not a style of card I make often, but I really enjoyed making this one.

I die cut 3 of the circles from the Stylish Shapes dies to create 3 masks for the circles, and then blended Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Sweet Sorbet through them. If you look really closely you can see the little stitch marks! The punched flowers are from Petal Park and are stamped in the same 3 colours.

Fathers Day Blog Hop | An Idea with Best Family Ever from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for a blog hop all focused on Fathers Day ideas. I know that Fathers Day can be difficult for some of you, and so I am absolutely not offended if you click away now.

Each year I am lucky enough to make 3 Fathers Day cards. One for my own dad, one for my husbands dad, and one for his step-dad. Most years they get the same card, but this year, they might be different as I am sure I will be totalling inspired by some of the cards in this blog hop!

Keeping things fairly simple for this card. Using one of the Basic 3D Embossing folders for the background, actually I just embossed the front of the card blank! and then stamping with Best Family Ever for the sentiment. There is only one ink colour on this card; Night of Navy, although I have stamped it off and then used a Blender pen to colour that cute critter from Zany Zoo!

How to make Cute Flower Card using Share a Milkshake from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for a super fun card idea! I saw something similar to this on Pinterest a few weeks ago, and just had to have a bit of a play. The Share a Milkshake stamp set is one of my favs from the January to April catalogue, but I haven’t had chance to use it for a few weeks, and so I wanted to do something a little bit different with it.

I’ve paired the Share a Milkshake die cut (can you spot it… I cannot believe that really its an ice cream cone!) with the Petal Park stamp and punch bundle.

The background of this card is super simple, but an effect I just LOVE and think it adds something to an otherwise fairly simple card design.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #134 | On The Farm…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for a fabulous Inspiration challenge for Inspire.Create.Challenge. The original card was made by my fabulous friend Verity, and featured a circle… but you know what I’m like and a I have to change things around, so I’ve opted for a square instead!

This is the ‘Floating paper’ technique, and you would usually cut your strips of paper and adhere them to a piece of Window Sheet or Vellum…. but here, I’ve gone a bit off-piste and popped them straight onto the card front with Dimensionals!

The paper here is actually a FREEBIE from Sale-a-bration, and it coordinates with the On the Farm stamp set and dies which I have also used here… not a farm animal in sight!

Hop over to Inspire.Create to see the inspiration card and check out what the rest of the Design Team have been up to!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #131 | Fond of Autumn

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for another Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week Jo has challenged us with a brilliant sketch… I have twisted it slightly, but I think you can still see the sketch in it!

I am so sad that the Fond of Autumn stamps and dies are part of the Last Chance sale… and therefore might even have sold out by the time this post goes live! But, I just had to use it one more time. Here I’ve coloured the images with Melon Mambo, Orchid Oasis, Mint Macaron, Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends

Check out the rest of the Design Team projects over on the Inspire.Create blog and add your own makes too!

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | Painted Poppies

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Stampin’ Dreams blog hop. This month our theme is ‘In Memoriam’ and so the only stamp set I could reach for was Painted Poppies. I love this stamp set for sympathy cards, its just so perfect.

One of the reasons I love the Painted Poppies stamp set so much is that it has 2 step stamping, with a couple of more solid images that you can use to ” colour” those floral and leaf stamps.

The coordinating dies are also fabulous, and I’ve paired it here with the Peaceful Moments for the sentiment

International Blog Highlight | Thank You Sun Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I haven’t joined in with the Blog Highlight for a little while, and I’ve really missed it! So, here we are, back again with a fun Thank You card I made on Sunday afternoon.

I love the Natures Prints stamp set and the coordinating dies (especially that wreath!) but I really struggle to get it used. So, I turned to a sketch I’ve used fair bit this year, of a layer of card stock and a layer of Designer Series Paper… and then had a play about with where the wreath could/should be…

The Sun Prints suite only has a few colours; Gray Granite, Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Starry Sky. Here I’ve used Gray Granite as the card base, and then stamped in Night of Navy.

Can you see, there are 5 Rhinetones on this card? But they are subtle as I’ve coloured them with a dark Night of Navy Blend pen. I love the effect!

If you love this card as much as I do… please consider voting for it over on Kylie’s blog.
