Leadership Blog Hop | Team Events with Stampin’ up!

StampinByHannah Leadership Blog Hop | Team Events with Stampin’ up!

Welcome to the Leadership Blog Hop… we are a group of 5 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators who are currently working together to support our other Stampin’ Sisters (and brothers) while our Team Leader is away on the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip to Alaska!

I had heaps of ideas of what I could share with you today…. and then my day job took over this week, and actually getting something made in time provided a little too much. However, I still wanted to let you know about some of the fun things we do as Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators!

Stampin’ Up! Events…

My favourite part of being a part of Stampin’ Up! is events…. of all kinds! Every 6 months Stampin’ Up! host a fabulous Demonstrator Exclusive event; OnStage! The next one is coming in November, but tickets go on sale next month. OnStage is SO much fun… we get to spend the day with hundreds of like-minded Demonstrators, get to see the next catalogue before anyone else, get to take home an exclusive bag full of products too!

Team Events…

BUT we also have team events! Our next team retreat is in September… and we have a jam packed weekend of crafting planned in a luxury hotel in Manchester! I am SO excited…. and more than a little nervous because I’ve managed to volunteer to present too! We also have heaps of Online events… with a busy Facebook group, videos, challenges and much more!

I’ll share the challenge I’ve set the team over on my Facebook Page next weekend…. Because if I share it with you now, it’ll spoil the surprise for them.

You can join in with our events by joining the team right now, and if you do Stampin’ Up! will thrown £63 worth of ink pads into your kit for FREE! How cool is that!

Thanks for joining me today; now hop on over to Heidi’s blog where I know she has a fun creative project for you!

Notebook Cover with Pen Loop using Tea Room Designer Series Paper…

Jotter sized note book cover with pen loop DIY using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Notebook Cover with Pen Loop using Tea Room Designer Series Paper…

Today’s project was inspired by my fabulous stampin’ buddy Angelina…. I am a bit of a stationary hoarder, and I need a little encouragement to actually use my notebooks, pens, sticky notes etc. sometimes! These notebooks have been hanging around in my office for a while, and I’ve covered a few in the past, but it’s time that they moved on and the best way to do that is to make them pretty and gift them to someone! So, who wants one?! I always sent notebooks and things to my team members… so who’s gonna be the next person to join my team and bag one?

These both use the Tea Room Speciality Designer Series Paper to add a little something to the front of the covers, and while one I have added the stamping directly onto the paper, the other has some extra layers and details. Both are designed to hold these pens, they were gifted to us at a Stampin’ Up! OnStage event… these fabulous events are Demonstrator only entry, but I wanted to let you know that the registration for the next one (held in Birmingham this coming November) will open in August, and while we have the fabulous Stampin’ Pad Family joining offer it would be a great time to come and join my team!

The Project Share Project | More fun with Designer Series Paper…

Narrow note card box using Petal Promenade from Stampin' Up! by Heidi Smith

StampinByHannah The Project Share Project More fun with Designer Series Paper…

So, with the Designer Series Paper sale still ongoing, I thought I would share some more of the fabulous things that my Stampin’ Sisters have been making with it!

Heidi Smith

My absolute favourite pack of Designer Series Paper at the moment is Petal Promenade, and I love how Heidi has combined it with some fun dies to create the stunning box for some Narrow Notecards… Click on the picture to see Heidi’s video tutorial too!

Amanda Charlesworth

Amanda always makes lovely things with Designer Series Paper, and this card is no exception. The Natures’ Poem Designer Series Paper is designed to coordinate with the Rooted in Nature stamp set, but I love that Amanda is thinking outside of the box here where she has paired it with the lovely Stitched All Around Bundle instead!

Jill Chapman

Jill has used my second favourite pack of paper to create this fun card! I shared one using the same products on Monday, but man, don’t they look different! Click over to Jill’s blog to see her fabulous video tutorial!

Go For Greece | Hello Floral Frames!

Pretty Hello card using Floral Frames from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Go For Greece Hello Floral Frames!

I have already shared one card using the Floral Frames bundle today but seeing as I made these two one after the other, it just seemed right to share them together too! How pretty is this stamp set! It might just be one of the prettiest in the catalogue!

I don’t very often combine products. But I have today because, I die cut and layered everything up and then thought the card looked a little plain. I almost always assemble the card before I glue everything down, just to check that I haven’t missed something… so glad I did today because I am running really low on Soft Sea Foam card stock, really need to add that to my next order! So, because I decided the card was a little plain, I added some dry embossing to the background using the Lovely Floral Dynamic Embossing Folder, and then covered most of it with this fabulous frame!

The frame, and the leaves are both designed to be used with the new Stampin’ Up! Big Shot Embossing Mats. I’ve done a couple of videos using these, and I LOVE them!

To get this effect…

Die cut the frame and the leaves using a standard sandwich (Magnetic Platform, Cutting Mat, card stock, die, Cutting mat), making sure to washi-tape the die to the card stock so that the card stock doesn’t fall out before the next step.
Then run the dies back through the big shot, using the thin blue embossing mat (Big Shot platform, Cutting mat, Die, Card stock, Blue embossing mat, white Impressions pad). This then gives a subtle embossing onto die cuts for an extra pretty touch!

To finish the card I added a couple of the flowers from the stamp set in Poppy Parade, and stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler, before popping it all up on lots of dimensionals!

Thanks for joining me today, do check out these other talented ladies on the hop… and I hope to see you again soon

Fun with Floral Frames from Stampin’ Up!

Fun with the Floral Frames stamp set from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Fun with Floral Frames from Stampin’ Up!

I have two cards for you today… one now and one a little later for a fun blog hop with the ladies from the Go for Greece group. Both cards however, use the same stamp set! Floral Frames. I was super lucky to receive this stamp and die bundle as a team gift a few weeks ago, and I’ve only just got around to getting it inky! But, it’s so pretty, I know that these wont be the only cards that get made with it!

The Floral Frames stamp set comes as part of a fabulous bundle with the Foliage Frames Framelits (say that 3 times fast!)… bundles are great! Not only can you be completely sure that your stamps and dies work together for coordinated projects and reduce the need for fussy cutting, but also, they save you 10% rather than buying the stamps and dies separately. The stamps also pair beautifully with several of the new packs of Designer Series Paper. Here, I’ve used the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper…. but I think that this would look lovely using the Petal Promenade paper too. Both packs are, of course, currently in the Stampin’ Up! Buy 3 Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper sale too!

The colours here are Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam. The leaf stamp behind the label is so cute, and I have a fun tip for you…

Top Tip…

To ensure I stamped them in the right place, I placed the label where I wanted it and drew around it with a pencil. Then, stamped the leaves, waited for the ink to dry (which really doesn’t take very long) and used a white eraser to remove the pencil marks.

I reached into my Embellishment storage to finish this card, and grabbed a trio of these Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots.

Make It Monday | Making a card using the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper

Pretty butterfly thank you card with lots of lovely sequins using the Abstract Impressions Bundle from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Making a card using the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper

Hello! This week’s Make It Monday is a super sparkly Thank You card… that I would LOVE to send out to someone! I have a mountain of cards in my craft room and I am starting to sort them into donation piles for charities, as well as family and friends (back to sorting and organising… one day with might sell this flat and I don’t want to have to move them all to be honest!). One of the ways I am looking at thinning out my made projects pile is to gift them to my wonderful customers! So, if you place an order with me this week, you might well just find this card in your customer thank you pack at the end of the month!

I am totally loving the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. It’s a pretty mix of painterly flowers and brush strokes with a fantastic colour palette! I can certainly see a full class coming with this suite, just so many cards I just HAVE to make! The Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper is currently available as part of the Stampin’ Up! Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Designer Series Paper sale too… Awesome!

Video Tutorial…

I use pretty standard measurements on most of my cards, and you can find those HERE!

There are lots of sparkles on this card… not only is that fabulous butterfly from the Springtime Impressions dies cut from a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper, but I have also added a handful of sequins too! There are several different packs of sequins in the Annual catalogue this year… 2 sequin assortments; iridescent (which I have used here) and metallics, and then there are the Basic Adhesive-Backed sequins too which are great if your a little heavy handed with the liquid glue (which might just be me!)

I have a bit of a thing at the moment for a hand cut sentiment, it just adds a hint of the hand-made. Here the sentiment is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto a piece of Basic Black card stock, just for a little extra POP! Then, to finish there is a spritz of Night of Navy (because I have spritzed a card for ages!) and a few loops of Silver Metallic Thread too!
