Rooted in Nature Sympathy Card

Natures Roots Sympathy Card

StampinByHannah Rooted in Nature Sympathy Card

 

We make cards for all occasions, including those sad ones… I didn’t actually set out to make a Sympathy Card today, but this sentiment just lends itself to a sadder occasion. The card is still pretty though…Quick and Easy Sympathy Card using Natures Roots from Stampin' Up!

I made this card on Saturday afternoon after having the Rooted in Nature Stamp Set out during my Prep for Sunday’s Facebook Live. I have used this stamp set a lot, but I don’t think I’ve ever inked this 3 cute little trees! Two of the trees are on one stamp, while the other is separate. They are all stamped in Sahara Sand ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White and then stamped again onto the Whisper White layer.

Sympathy Card with Trees using Natures Roots Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow and then hand cut, and popped up on a Foam Adhesive strip, with a trio of Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins added to finish.

How to make a Twist Top Box using Stampin' Up! Card stock

StampinByHannah How to make a Twist Top Box using Stampin’ Up! products

I do love a fun box…. and I think this one is particularly good! There are loads of things that you could use if for; candles, a mini bath bomb, chocolate, jewellery…. and I’m sure you’ll think of something I haven’t!

4 sided twist top box video

I was inspired by a swap I received from the lovely Jillian probably about a year ago. Jillian’s version was a little smaller and was perfect for holding a trio of tealights, but I wanted something a little bigger…

Measurements:

Card stock: 8-1/4 x 6″ (21 x 15 cm)

Score on the long side at 2, 4, 6, and 8″ (5, 10, 15 and 20 cm)

Score on the short side at 2 and 4″ (5 and 10 cm)

Designer Series Paper: 4 pieces 1-3/4 x 1-3/4″ (4.5 x 4.5 cm)

Last weekend some of the Project Share Crew took part in a Blog Hop with a particularly tricky colour combination… I love sharing projects like this, being able to see so many different ways to use the same colours or products, so fun!

Colour Combination:


You can find my project using these colours HERE, and I would LOVE you to share your projects made using this combination over on my Facebook Page.

I love how Sally took the colours and saw a Christmas Theme… although I’ve used this stamp set for all year round occasions (I used it last year for my Mum’s Birthday Card).

Best Route Birthday Card

Create a fun layered mans birthday card using Best Route from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Best Route Birthday Card

 

Today is my youngest Brother-in-Law’s birthday, he’s 17, and so cards aren’t really his thing… however, they are mine, and so he gets one anyway!

Create a fun layered mans birthday card using Best Route from Stampin' Up!

Cards for guys are always a little tricky, however, Stampin’ Up! have made it a whole lot easier with this Designer Series Paper. Best Route is a fun mix of bold colours and generic patterns, all with the hint of a travel theme…. perfect for your Road Trip Scrapbook Album, or some fun cards!

I thought I would have some fun with colour on this one… the entire front is Gray Granite Designer Series Paper while the card base itself is Mango Melody. Usually I made tent fold cards, but they don’t stand very well on my Mother-in-laws slippy furniture, so I went for a more traditional book fold style for this card.

Happy Birthday boys card using Best Route Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

The secret to a good guy card is simple details… Here I’ve created layers using different pieces of the Best Route Designer Series Paper, added a length of ribbon, the sentiment on a Stitched Circle die cut, a trio of sequins and a cute mini paperclip from the Share What You Love Embellishment kit to finish.

The stamping is taken from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set; a fun mix of birthday images and sentiments that work really well for guys birthdays.

Inside boys birthday card using Best Route from Stampin' Up!

I couldn’t not add something to the inside… so I mirrored the Designer Series Paper layers and added a second birthday sentiment in Blueberry Bushel.

I’ve been sharing a whole heap of projects using the fabulous August Exclusive Stamp Set; Blended Seasons this month…. you can find heaps of Blended Season Inspiration over on my dedicated Pinterest Board, as well as in my Facebook Live video from the beginning of the month.

How to use watercolour Pencils and Blended Seasons from Stampin' Up!

I’ve had masses of fun with this stamp set, particularly using the August Exclusive Watercolour Pencils… Today’s video shows several ways to use the Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils and a couple of different effects you can create with them too!

I do have some top tips for using Watercolour Pencils:

  • add pencil to areas where shadows would naturally appear
  • blend out the pencil using a damp paint brush or aqua painter
  • use a Wink of Stella Brush Pen to complete the blending and add some sparkle!
  • You could also use a Blender Pen to blend out the colour

How to create a sparkly look with watercolour pencils from Stampin' Up!

The Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2 and Blended Seasons stamp and die bundle both retire on the 31st August… so grab them today before they go forever!

InspireINK Blog Hop | Smiling with Eastern Beauty

An eastern inspired card using Eastern Beauty from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah InspireINK Blog Hop Smiling with Eastern Beauty

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Welcome to this month’s InspireINK Blog hop! This month the fabulous Lisa Emslie set us a tricky colour combination… I cannot wait to hop around with you and see what the other ladies have made. For now though, shall we check out my card? oh, and that colour combination!

I spent a LONG time staring at these colours before coming up with anything at all. But, I did settle on using the Eastern Beauty stamp set, and coordinating Eastern Medallion Thinlits. They just seemed to fit together

Embossing with the Stampin' Up! Embossing Mats for the InspireInk Blog Hop with StampinByHannah

The main focus of this card is that pretty Medallion in Merry Merlot Card Stock. The detail has been embossed into the card stock using the Eastern Medallion Thinlits and the Stampin’ Up! Embossing Mats, and the Big Shot. I am loving the Embossing mats, you can use them to create a whole heap of different effects. I have made a video about how this works before, but here is the sandwich you need to use:

Big Shot Embossing Mat Sandwich:

  • Stampin’ Up! Big Shot Platform
  • Clear Cutting Plate
  • Dies laid with the cutting edge up
  • Card stock
  • the THIN blue embossing mat
  • White impressions plate

Because you need the dies laid with the cutting edge up, I find that the easiest way to do this is to place your dies on your card stock as you would usually and then use Washi tape to secure them before turning the whole lot over. This way, you know (particularly if your lining up with some stamping) that your embossing is going to be in the right place.

It’s also worth noting that the Eastern Medallion dies don’t actually cut the medallion from the card stock, and that you need the coorinating Layering Circles Dies to do that bit.

To think of you is to smile Embossed card using Stampin' Up! products

The card is completed with a hint of Bermuda Bay Stamping, the sentiment in Daffodil Delight and some accents of Gold Foil.

I did think that the medallion was a little dark, so I added some Whisper White Ink Splatter. I Love the effect!
