Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Collage stamping with Lovely and Sweet from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! It’s been a little while since I last did a Blog Hop with the ladies from Crafty Collaborations, but I thought this month it was time to change that! So here we are with the August Technique Tuesday Blog Hop with the theme of Collage… which is right up my street! Any excuse to get a bit inky!

I grabbed the Lovely and Sweet Stamp Set for this one and the colour combination of Basic Beige, Crumb Cake, Pretty In Pink and Summer Splash.

I Collage stamped the images around the bottom and left hand edges, and then finished the card with an embossed circle and a simple sentiment.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Simple Stamping with Gift of Giving

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months Technique Tuesday blog hop! This month we are Simple Stamping… which sounds like it would be easy, but I don’t really think I’ve managed it with this card which includes colouring with Watercolour Pencils and Masking! But, I love it… so I’m sharing it regardless!

I’m really enjoying this new stamp set from the September-December Mini Catalogue (out tomorrow!), it great for a bit of colouring but is really lovely just simply stamped too. Here I stamped Santa in Memento Black ink and then coloured him with Watercolour Pencils. I haven’t added any water to this though, because I wanted a sketchy look.

Once he was coloured in I cut a mask from a bit of sticky note (you could use Masking paper… I just use what I had on hand!) by stamping the image again and fussy cutting it. Then used this to cover Santa while I ink blended some Real Red ink into the corner.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Designer Series Paper

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month our technique is to use Designer Series Paper. I LOVE Designer Series Paper, I know some people struggle to cut their paper, but I really love to use it! Although, I like using little pieces… very much like on today’s card.

This card was inspired by THIS card by Kaylee Den Breejen. Kaylee’s card used coloured Designer Series Paper, but I am really enjoying using black and white at the moment, and the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.

The stamped image here is from the coordinating stamp set, Zany Zoo, coloured using Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Heat Embossing with Beautifully Happy from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! This month’s Technique is Heat Embossing… probably something I do on about 80% of my projects, I just LOVE it! Nothing better that a sentiment heat embossed in White on a piece of Basic Black card stock! But, I haven’t done that today.

This card is a bit special, as I made it for my aunt’s 70th birthday this month (I know she wont see this… so I’m not worried about sharing before the big day!). I had a lot of fun watercolouring this image. It’s from the brand new Beautifully Happy stamp set which is FREE with a £90 order during Sale-a-bration which starts on Thursday.

Hand stamped Birthday card using Beautifully Happy from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2023 with StampinByHannah

Both the image and the sentiment are heat embossed in Gold. This is one of my watercolour top tips actually, to heat emboss the image because it sort of keeps the ink where you want it, and makes watercolour a bit easier.

The flower is coloured with Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo and Orchid Oasis. I wasn’t sure when I pulled the colours off my shelf, but now I really like it.

The frame is from Framed Florets, and the background is stamped in Pear Pizzazz onto Pear Pizzazz card stock using one of the more solid stamps from the set.

Watercolour wash with Nature's Prints from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been dying to try a watercolour wash with this stamp set since it arrived in my craft room, but for some reason I only managed to actually do it yesterday! This is the Nature’s Prints stamp set (and a piece of the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper), which I just love. The big leaf stamp is heat embossed in White onto a piece of Fluid100 Watercolour Paper, and then a wash of Night of Navy over the top. This is pretty strong watercolour, not a lot of water and a couple of drops of Night of Navy straight from a re-inker.

The sentiment is heat embossed in white, from the same stamp set, and this card is finished with a trio of the Classic Matte Dots.
