5 Days of Colour | Seaside Spray meets Bloom and Grow

Hey folks!

Today’s card might be my favourite of the 5 days, I am just totally in LOVE with this stamp set! Bloom and Grow instantly hit me when I flicked through the catalogue, its floral, has coordinating dies and gorgeous sentiments! What’s not to love?

Seaside spray is a pretty soft blue, its super pretty and is going to be perfect for those Baby Boy birthday cards this year! It looks great with bolder colours too… check out the colour combo;

Colour Combination

The coordinating dies are in the new Stampin’ Up! style packaging and line up slightly differently to the previous types of dies, however they cut beautifully. The new die packets are a slightly different shape to the old ones, but I expect that they will still fit in your storage (they fit in mine!)

5 Days of Colour | Rococo Rose meets Beautiful Promenade

Hey Folks

Day 2 of my 5 Days of Colour today to celebrate my 5th Stampin’ Up! anniversary and the release of the 2019-2021 In Colours. Today, I thought I would combine one of the new colours with one of my favourite carry over stamp sets; Beautiful Promenade.

This stamp set is just so pretty, and while both it and the coordinating Beautiful Layers Dies are carrying over into the new catalogue, the bundle price (which saves you 10%) is retiring, so grab it now to get a bargain!

I'm here for you card using Stampin' Up! In Colours and Beautiful Promenade with StampinByHannah

This set is great for layering and has lots of pretty floral images in an almost graphic style, as well as a bit of my fav 2 Step Stamping! Here the flower outlines were stamped in White Craft Ink, before the petal details were added in Rococo Rose for a Tone on Tone effect.

Colour Combination

I don’t think that this is necessarily the most obvious colour combination with this lovely soft pink colour, however it does work really really well and I am sure I’ll be reaching for these again very soon!

I am loving Rococo Rose and can see it being one of my staple colours over the coming months. Although that might be the influence of having a baby girl in the house!

If you love this colour as much as I do, why not check out my In Colour club to get all the fabulous goodies in this colour as well as the 4 other 2019-2021 In Colours.

5 Days of Colour | Terracotta Tile meets Daisy Lane

Hey folks!

Well, today is a BIG day, today is my 5th Stampin’ Up! Anniversary! I’ve had a fabulous 5 years being a Demonstrator with Stampin’ Up! I have met wonderful friends, visited some great places and played with heaps and heaps of gorgeous products! I am aware that this sounds like I’m done… I’m definately not! I cannot wait to see what the next 5 years have in store, although fitting everything in around Niamh is proving to be a little interesting (I see a lot of blogging during nap times in my future!)

So, how am I celebrating my 5th year? well, I have a LOT going on at the moment, so I’m keeping this one a bit low key… but I do have 5 fun blog posts for you for the next 5 days, each one featuring one of the Brand New Stampin’ Up! In Colours and some fun colour combinations!

Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 In Colours Terracotta Tile and Daisy lane Smile card with StampinByHannah

I’ve kept this card fairly simple, because really this post is about the colour combination. But, it also features the Daisy Lane stamp set. This fun set coordinates with the existing Daisy Punch, and also happens to be the focus of my June Code Club Class (more on that next week!)

Colour Combo

This flower is really easy to create with the Daisy Lane stamp set, the stem and leaves are actually one stamp, and then the Daisy stamp is simple enough to line up. I actually stamped the Daisy 4 times on this card, twice on Whisper White panel, and then twice on a scrap of card stock which I then punched with the Daisy Punch. To create the dimension, each petal was bent over my bone folder (think curling ribbon and scissors), and then the Daisy finished with a Clear Faceted Gem.

In Colour Club

Terracotta Tile is just one of the 5 new Stampin’ Up! In Colours that are released next week along with the new Annual Catalogue. In Colours are 5 fun colours that file gaps in the standard Stampin’ Up! colour range, they last for 2 years and have the usual collection of inks, card stocks and coordinating papers, embellishments and pens.

I have a fun In Colour Club starting in June, allowing you a simple way of collecting all 5 colours along with the coordinating goodies, PLUS a heap of inspiration and my monthly Code Club Class too! You can find out all about my 2019-2021 In Colour Club, and sign up, HERE!

Inspire.Create.Challenges #044 | Daisy Lane Sketch Challenge!

Hey folks!

It took me several attempts to make today’s card, in fact it started off as a fancy fold number before I decided to keep things simple!

Inspire.Create.Challenge 044 Sketch Challenge Cardmaking

I did however turn the sketch around. Partly because I like to move the elements of a sketch around a little, and partly because I had managed to accidentally combine challenges 043 and 044 in my last Inspire.Create card!

This card uses one of my favourite new stamp sets in the upcoming Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue, Daisy Lane. This fun stamp set not only pairs beautifully with the existing Daisy Delight Stamp Set and Daisy Punch, but also has a cute Medium Daisy Punch which it is bundled with. I love this set so much that it is the focus of my June Code Club Class too.

Fun Daisy Friend Card using Daisy Lane from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

To add an extra something to this card I added some tone on tone stamping to the Gray Granite card base under the Basic Gray scalloped square die cut.

The daisy is taken from the new Daisy Lane stamp set, along with the Friend sentiment.

Pretty simple hand Stamped Friend card using Daisy lane from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I needed to add a pop of colour to an otherwise fairly grey card, so the centre of the Daisy is coloured with a Stampin’ Blend in Light Pumpkin Pie, and I added a bow of Calypso Coral 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon.

Make It Monday | Crafting Forever with Blends

Hey folks!

I have had Stampin’ Blends in my crafty stash for a while now, but I have to admit that they aren’t something I have ever really got to grips with. While I was waiting for my baby girl to arrive a few weeks ago I took the opportunity to make a bunch of cards, and to play with my Stampin’ Blends.

Fun Crafting card using Crafting Forever from Stampin' Up! and Stampin' Blends with StampinByHannah

There is a fun new suite of products in the new Annual catalogue which features crafting items, and while I love a new stamp set I already have the Crafting Forever stamp set in my collection and I haven’t used it all that much. So, before jumping to buy new goodies, I thought I better use this one!

Here I stamped the scissors in Memento Black ink onto thick Whisper White card stock, and then set about using the Light and Dark Blackberry Bliss and Light and Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends to colour them in.

I haven’t done massively complicated colouring. Each element was coloured in the light colour, with shadows added in the dark tone. I didn’t really attempt any blending, but even then I think this worked really well.

We are cut out to be Friends Crafting themed card using Crafting Forever with Stampin' Blends from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The sentiment is also taken from Crafting Forever, and is punched out using the Everyday Label punch and raised up on Dimensionals.

Annual Catalogue Designer Series Paper Share!

Hello folks!

Sorry for the silence this week, but on the 11th May 2019 my darling daughter Niamh arrived, and so I have spent the last 2 weeks getting to know her and finding my feet as a new mummy! We are both doing well, and I am feeling more like my usual self again. Yesterday I managed to get the first batch of Catalogues bagged and ready to post, so they’ll be hitting the post office this afternoon. You can get a FREE copy of the new catalogue HERE!

Today though I wanted to let you know about my Annual Catalogue Designer Series Paper Shares.

This year there are 12 stunning packs of Designer Series Paper, and to buy them all it would cost you over £140! However, you can have them all, at a fraction of the price by joining in with my Designer Series Paper Share!

What is a Paper Share?

It’s simple, instead of you buying 12 packs of 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, you share it with 3 other people, and each person gets a 6 x 6″ share of each pack of paper. So, you still get all the patterns and prints, but in a smaller size!

What do I get?

Each share receives a 6 x 6″ Sample of each and every piece of Designer Series Paper in the catalogue. Each pack is labelled with the name and colours in each pack, AND you will also receive the PDF download of my June Code Club Class too!

Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper Shares Annual Catalogue 2019

How much is a Share?

OK, so each share costs £40, including postage and packing

How do I order?

I believe in keeping things simple (not just because with a new baby my brain is pretty full at the moment!) So, all you need to do is complete the form below. Then, between the 26th May and 3rd June I will send you a PayPal invoice which will need to be paid before 10PM on 3rd June. You don’t need a PayPal account, just a credit or debit card. Once the catalogue goes live I can then place the order for all your papers, and (providing there aren’t any back order situations) I will aim to have your shares out to you within 10 days.

April Customer Thank You Cards

I might have made some changes to my Code Club in May, but my customers still receive a handmade card and sometimes an extra surprise too!

My April customers all received one of these cute cards at the start of this month. It uses the soon to be retired Share What You Love Designer Series Paper, along with a few goodies that are carrying forward too!

Quick and Easy Thank You card using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I LOVE a bit of Crumb Cake every now and again, and this card is a bit of a tribute to this lovely colour. The main panel of this card is embossed with the very lovely Country Florals Embossing Folder which is available in the new Annual Catalogue if you didn’t get your hands on it during Sale-a-bration.

Cute Thank You card using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The sentiment is taken from Petal Palette and is stamped in Early Espresso, die cut using the Rectangle Stitched Dies.

Watercolour fun with Butterfly Gala!

Today’s card was totally inspired by the ever talented Debbie Hughes. Debbie does wonderful things with Watercolour, and her cards are always stunning and her recent watercolour butterfly card is no exception. For all Debbie works with another companies products, I could just see Butterfly Gala in her creation, and so just HAD to give it a bash!

Shabby Chic Watercolour card using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Each butterfly is stamped in Staz-on ink onto a panel of Watercolour card stock. Because of the texture I use my Stamparatus for this job so that I can repeat stamp and get a clear image. I think each butterfly took 3 or 4 goes to get as bold an outline as I wanted.

Then each butterfly was loosely watercoloured. A single colour for each butterfly, Melon Mambo, Blackberry Bliss and Blueberry Bushel, and some coloured splatter added over the top.

Simple Shabby Chic note card using Butterfly Gala from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Then, once the watercolour was dry, I added an ink blended boarder of Crumb Cake ink around the piece with a sponge. I LOVE the texture this creates on the watercolour paper, so pretty!

To finish the sentiment, also taken from Butterfly Gala, is stamped onto a scrap of Blackberry Bliss card stock and heat embossed in White, some loops of Silver Metallic thread and a handful of sequins scattered across too.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #043 | Accented Blooms Colour Challenge!

Hey folks!

Well, this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a bright and bold colour combination that I have to admit had me a little stumped at first. However, I do love the card that resulted!

Inspire.Create.Challenge Colour Combination 043 Granny Apple Green Pumpkin Pie Poppy Parade

As always with the Inspire.Create colour combinations we are allowed to add neutral colours and so I’ve added Basic Black to really made these colours POP!

Hello card Accented Blooms Watercolour for Inspire.Create.Challenge using Stampin' Up! products with StampinByHannah

The Accented Blooms stamp set is carrying forward into the new catalogue and since I’ve cleared by Stamp Shelves of items that are leaving us in the Last Chance list its really jumped out at me at a set I haven’t used for a while. Here it’s stamped in Stazon ink onto watercolour paper and then watercoloured with the colours from the challenge.

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set and while it does coordinate with the Tailored Tag punch, I have hand cut it on this occasion.

Watercolour Hello card using Accented Blooms from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This is where I got stuck! How to finish the card. In the end I plumped for a panel of Poppy Parade card stock embossed using the Country Floral Embossing Folder and a bow of retiring Black Shimmer Ribbon
