StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge 018 Lemon Zest Sunshine Birthday Card

Inspire.Create.Challenge Card making Theme Challenge Sunshine

As we head towards summer here in the UK we are all hoping for some more Sunshine… but you know, you can always make your own! For me Sunshine says Bright colours and fun…. and I hope that my card for Inspire.Create.Challenges fits that brief!

Bright and Fun Birthday Card using Lemon Zest from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

It has been FAR too long since I pulled this stamp set off my Stamp Shelf! Lemon Zest is so fun… and it has a coordinating punch… but it’s one I have really struggled to use! So, this is a bit of a two part challenge for me this week, one, to make a card that says ‘Sunshine’ and two, to make something with this fabulous Stamp Set!

The card itself is Old Olive, with layers of Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White, a splatter of Old Olive ink… and then I’ve gone to town with circle dies!

It’s always really easy to forget what sentiments a theme’d stamp set like this contains… but how lovely is that Happy Birthday?

I cannot wait to see you ‘Sunshine’ cards over at Inspire.Create.Challenge, do check out the other Design Team inspiration too!

April Customer Thank You Card Featuring Hand Delivered from Stampin’ Up!

April Customer Thank You Card using Hand Delivered from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah April Customer Thank You Card Featuring Hand Delivered from Stampin’ Up!

 

Every month I send each and every customer who shops with me a hand made card, and sometimes a special something too. Today I thought I would share my Customer Thank You Card from April. It uses one of the new Stamp Sets from the Annual Catalogue, in actual fact this stamp set is one of the new Hostess Exclusive sets available from 1st June and for FREE with an order of £150 or more.

I also send extra gifts to customer’s who shop using the Code Club Code… Click HERE to find out more!

Hand Delivered Thank You Card using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

The Designer Series Paper on the left hand side is actually on the Retiring List. Petal Passion actually comes in just Black and White, however here it has been coloured with Lovely Lipstick and Call Me Clover (two of the new In-Colours) and a Sponge Dauber. This is super easy to do, just dab the Dauber in the ink and then dab it onto your card stock on Designer Series Paper to transfer the colour. I think it looks very pretty on this paper!

handmade Thank You Card using Petal Passion Designer Series Paper coloured with Sponge Daubers and Hand Delivered from Stampin' Up!

The Hand-Delivered stamp set is a fun take on the 2-step stampin’ technique, the skirt and legs are one stamp, while the board is another! There are heaps of options, actually I shared a different version with my Email subscribers. You can see the Exclusive Video Tutorial by subscribing to my Stampin’ Inspiration emails HERE!

Make It Monday | Quick and easy Perennial Birthday Day Card

Simple Man's birthday card using Perennial Birthday from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Quick and easy Perennial Birthday Day Card

Make It Monday

This weekend I spent most of my time in my craft room, I have finally managed to get myself a little ahead with videos, filmed 7 on Saturday and then my fortnightly Facebook Live yesterday. However, today’s video is quite possibly the shortest tutorial I have ever filmed!

Make It Monday Simple Stamped Birthday Card with Perennial Birthday from Stampin' Up!

When making cards for men, I tend to keep things simple. Often I’ll keep to single layer, and while this card has a couple matts, I think you could count this in that category.

The Happy Birthday uses one of my ‘go-to’ simple stamping techniques; Repeat Stamping. The stamp was actually only inked 3 times to get the effect… check the video to see how it’s done!

 

This card uses my standard card sizes. You can find them over on my Standard Card Measurements Page.

Simple Man's birthday card using Perennial Birthday from Stampin' Up!

This card was finished with a splatter of Basic Black ink, splattered using a Black Stampin’ Write Marker.

Stampin' Up! Stamping Positioning Tool Stamparatus

I LOVE the new Stamparatus… and while I was lucky enough to get one back at the start of the year, I know that getting one during Pre-Order was a little tricky….

This quick and classic card uses the Beautiful Day stamp set. I am so happy that this has carried over into the new Annual Catalogue too! Check the video below to see how this card was created using the Stamparatus…

International Blog Highlights | Petal Palette card for Sara!

Petal Palette Fancy Fold Card for Kylie's International Blog Highlights using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights Petal Palette card for Sara!

Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

You know you’ve had a busy month when Facebook reminds you that not only do you have 5 events this week that you can’t remember… but that one of them is Kylie’s International Blog Highlights, and you can’t even remember what the theme is! Yes, this was me first thing on Monday morning… and if it wasn’t for our May Day Bank Holiday in the UK this post would not be here!

Fun Joy Fold Card using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

This month’s Blog Highlight theme is Cards for Sara! I LOVE this idea… Sara Douglass is the CEO of Stampin’ Up! and she is incredible. So, to celebrate this Kylie has tasked us with creating a special card for her to say Thanks! Now, remember how I said I’d forgotten about this… well, in my panic to find some inspiration at 07:30 on a Monday morning, I jumped onto Sara’s Facebook Page and found one of the cards that Stampin’ Up! have sent to one of the recent Million Dollar Sellers. These cards are always so detailed, with heaps of layers, Designer Series Paper, embellishments and ribbons…. and so this card was born!

How to make a fancy fold Joy Fold card using Petal Palette and Petal Passion from Stampin' Up!

I’ve recently been breaking down my layers for you… and so I’ll do the same thing here!

  • Card Base; Fresh Fig – 14.85 x 15.75 cm, scored on the log side at 10.5 cm
  • Bermuda Bay Layers; 10 x 14.3 cm, 4.8 x 14.3 cm, 6.5 x 10.8 cm
  • Card Base; Powder Pink – 12 x 10.3 cm, scored on the long side at 6 cm
  • Petal Passion Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 13.8 cm, 4.3 x 13.8 cm, 5.5 x 12.8 cm
  • Vellum Pretty Label
  • Die Cut in Fresh Fig using the Petals and More thinlits
  • Bird stamped in Bermuda Bay and die cut
  • Sentiment from Petal Palette stamped in Fresh Fig
  • Powder Pink stamped flower
  • Trio of Basic Rhinestones

Petal Palette Fancy Fold Card for Kylie's International Blog Highlights using Stampin' Up! products

The Petal Palette stamp set and Petals and More thinlits are both carrying over in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue (Yay!)… but the bundle of the two items together is retiring. So, if you want them both, I’d grab them before the end of May and save yourself 10%! The stunning Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is on the Retiring List…. and it’s now while stocks last!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and please do head over to Kylie’s Blog to see the other Projects for her International Blog Highlights and to vote for you favourite creations!

Team Training Cards using Retiring Ink Colours…

Stampin' Up! Retiring Colours Colour Revamp card using Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Team Training Cards using Retiring Ink Colours…

 

I have 2 fabulous cards to share with you today! Before we get to them though, I do what to let you know about the Retiring List. The WHOLE list is now While Stocks Last…. so RUN and grab your favourites now! I also have to say that I wrote this blog post a while ago, and so some of the colours on these cards might not be available!

Beautiful Bouquet sparkly friendship card using Stampin' Up! products

These 2 cards both use the fabulous Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. Now, I actually haven’t bought this one! These cards were a fabulous make and take project from a recent team training event… but I think I am convinced that these stamps need to find a home on my stamp shelves! Actually, I need to do it sooner rather than later, as the stamp and coordinating die bundle (that saves you 10%) retires at the end of the month…. better get my skates on!

Marina Mist and Chocolate Chip Friendship card using Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin' Up!

This first card uses a combination of Marina Mist, Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz (and a touch of Wink of Stella!)…. and it got a LOT of ‘ooh’s! at the event!

Marina Mist and Chocolate Chip are just 2 of the colours retiring at the end of the month. While I am sad to see them go, I am SO excited about the new colours coming! My new ink pads arrive in my craft room this week, and I’ll share my pre-order with you on Facebook Live on Sunday Morning!

You can find more information about the up-coming Colour Revamp HERE!

How to use small stamps to create a fun Thank You card using Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin' Up!

This second card uses the retiring Sweet Sugarplum, Marina Mist and Perfect Plum, along with Pear Pizzazz. I LOVE the layered stamp look here, its a great way to get more from those little stamps!
