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.

Metallics Blog Hop | Splendid Day from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to the Metallics Blog Hop…. this is yet another blog hop brought to you by the fabulous Crafty Collaborations ladies. I have been slacking on joining in a bit recently, but really wanted to make this one.

I have to admit though, that I have slightly cheeted! I made this card on my YouTube Live last night… so some people might already have seen it. But, I’m sure no one minds!

The metallic elements of this card use the very lovely Splendid Day Designer Series Paper… which is one of my current favs! Its so pretty!

Card ideas using Abstract Beauty from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this evening. Now, I don’t usually blog this late in the day, but this week’ YouTube video was pre-recorded rather than Live because today is my daughter’s 3rd birthday, and so I thought I would set the blog post to go live at the same time.

Recently I’ve been having heaps of fun with the Abstract Beauty Suite from the January-June Mini catalogue. I am in LOVE with the Designer Series Paper! I shared a card using this suite over the weekend for Inspire.Create and wanted to re-make it… so I did!

I kept the diagonal theme with the other two cards I made this week. One using more of that fabulous paper, and one without.

This card also uses the Beautiful Shapes dies to cut out the Designer Series Paper and Basic White card stock.

This week’s final card doesn’t use the papers at all, rather all the little itty bitty stamps in this stamp set, along with Blushing Bride, Polished Pink, Parakeet Party, and Orchid Oasis.
