Inspire.Create.Challenge #034 | Hey Love

Oh. My. Goodness, It’s been a month since our last Inspire.Create.Challenge, but it’s still come around awfully quickly. This past couple of weeks I’ve been busy prepping for my January Classes and Events, and the Hey Love stamp set has been sat out on my desk quite a bit… So, it only seemed right for it to find it’s way onto my first Inspire.Create post of 2019 too

Cute Valentines Card using Hey Love from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

We have a fun colour combination for this challenge; Call Me Clover, Night of Navy, Pineapple Punch, Calypso Coral and Lovely Lipstick. While these bright colours make me very happy, having them all together gave me a bit of a headache. So instead I opted to use the power of White Space on this one.

Handmade simple Valentines Card using Hey Love from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Me and my husband don’t usually go for mushy Valentines Cards, and so I thought this simple design was a pretty perfect choice for him… and who doesn’t love a Crocodile wearing heart boppers!

Facebook Live | Butterfly Gala

I had SO much fun with the Brand New Butterfly Gala stamp and punch bundle on this mornings Facebook Live! I do a Facebook Live every Sunday… this week was a little rushed as I was also in the middle of icing a cake and prepping for a Sunday Roast for 10 people… but I didn’t want to miss my first Facebook Live of 2019!

This week I have been so inspired by the Butterfly Gala stamp set, particularly because it has a fabulous matching punch!

Hand made Butterfly Thank You Card  using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! for Facebook Live with StampinByHannah

The first card I made this was was this simply stamped Thank You card, CASE’d from THIS CARD made by my lovely friend Verity! Verity made this card using Black card stock and ink, but I have to say I’m a much bigger fan of something a little softer (most of the time) and so swapped the Basic Black for Night of Navy. Check out the video for how I coloured those butterflies!

Facebook Live

Butterfly Gala is part of the Gingham Gala suite in the new Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer Catalogue. I have a fun Launch Party taking place next weekend (with Make and Takes that I will share next week!), and a fun Card Class using the suite on the 22nd January too! I would LOVE to see you at my 2019 events

Tone on Tone stamping with Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with Facebook Live with StampinByHannah

The second card today was inspired by my other friend Jill, who made THIS CARD back in December. I loved the look of the Butterflies stacked on top of each other on Jill’s card, and just had to give it a StampinByHannah twist. Here the 6 butterflies are stamped Tone on Tone in 3 colours; Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Balmy Blue. I really love this soft look, not something that would be in my usual style!

The Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer Catalogue is here!

Oh yes… today is the day! The start of the Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer Catalogue!

It feels funny talking about Spring Summer at the start of January, but really this catalogue covers more than just spring and summer. There are stamps, designer series papers, embellishments and more, that are perfect for a heap of occasions including Valentines, Birthdays, Sympathy, and Just Because. I think that the only card making occasions that aren’t in this book are Halloween and Christmas (but we have stamp sets for those in the Annual Catalogue AND some things have carried forward from the Autumn Winter too if you planning on making a head start on your 2019 Christmas Cards!)

Stampin' Up! Spring Summer Catalogue 2019

You can get a PDF version of the new catalogue HERE, or Request a Catalogue using my dedicated form.

Cling Stamps…

Now, one of the most exciting things about this new catalogue is the change to Stampin’ Up!’s rubber stamps. You’ll notice that there are no Wood stamps in this book, and that Clear stamps have being Cling. Cling stamps are the same high quality red rubber that Stampin’ Up! are fabulous for, but they now come with super sticky stickers. So, no more getting most of the way through your project only for it to be ruined when your stamp falls off you block.

I’ll be sharing a video with an updated look at the types of stamps offered by Stampin’ Up! really soon but for now, here is a quick video from Stampin’ Up!

Launch Party

I’ll be posting later on today about the fabulous Sale-a-bration offers that have also started today, but before I go I just want to let you know about my Catalogue Launch Party!

On the 12th January, at my home in Middleton St George, I am hosting a fabulous party to celebrate the start of this fabulous catalogue. Drop in any time from 1PM to collect your catalogue, make a fun card, sign up to 2019 classes and events, place your first order, or just meet other crafty folks!

This event is totally free, but I would really apprechiate it if you would let me know if your coming so I can prep your Make and Take pack.

Hope to see you then!

InspireINK |Winter Thank you card

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Joining in again with a fun Winter Thank You themed blog hop with this lovely ladies. Do click the NEXT button at the end of this post to hop to the next blog in our chain, and see more fun Winter Thank You creations!

Winter Thank You card using Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I am keeping things pretty simple with my crafting at the moment, quick stamping, a couple of colours, fast projects… and this card fits into that quite well. The snowflake background uses 2 stamps from the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set (which is in the current Annual Catalogue), stamped in 2 colours; Balmy Blue and Gray Granite.

The sentiment is actually from one of my staple stamp sets; Thankful Thoughts, although I don’t think I’ve used it before! Here its stamped in Night of Navy, and then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies. I’ve added a scalloped circle behind it in Gray Granite to give it a little extra pop!

Snowflake Sentiments Winter Thank You Card using Thankful Thoughts from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The card is finished with a cute bow of Night of Navy Bakers Twine. Quick and Simple!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #033 | It’s Party Time, Party Favours with Mini Pizza Boxes

Fun Shimmery Party Favours using Mini Pizza Boxes from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge #033 It’s Party Time, Party Favours with Mini Pizza Boxes

Inspire.Create.Challenge Party Theme

It’s out very last Inspire.Create.Challenge of 2018, and we are going out with a BANG! This challenge will be open for entries for a whole 4 weeks (rather than the usual 2!) and we would LOVE to see your Party themed creations! Maybe your making Table Favours, Thank you Cards, Gift Bags, or some fabulous Decor projects, share them with us over on the Inspire.Create.Challenge blog!

Inspire.Create.Challenge Party Time Theme Challenge Hand Delivered Party Favour with Stampin' Up! Mini Pizza Boxes

At the most recent Stampin’ Up! event I sat with one of my Stampin’ Besties (Sam of Sam’s Crafty Things!) and I realised that I had never actually used one of the Mini Pizza Boxes that have been in the catalogue for a few years. So, when I got home the first thing I got out to craft with was these fab little boxes… and made this fun Party Favour Box. The Mini Pizza Boxes come flat packed, but the slot together really easily, and they are food safe too (and the perfect size for a hand made cookie to two!

I added a hint of colour to this one using a sponge brayer, but you could also colour them by sprintzing or painting.

How to make a fun Table Favour with Mini Pizza Boxes from Stampin' Up!

The stamped panel uses the Hand Delivered Stamp Set. This stamp set is one of the hostess exclusive sets in the Annual Catalogue. These sets are exclusively available to customers who either hosts a party that spends over £150, or places an online order of the same value.

I stamped it with Memento Ink, and then coloured the balloons with a selection of Stampin’ Blends. I did HAVE to add a hint of sparkle to some of the balloons using a paint brush and some Frost White Shimmer Paint, which gives the effect of those fun shimmery balloons.

Right, that’s all from me today, do pop over to the Inspire.Create blog and check out the creations of the other Design Team Members, and share your creations with us too!
