StampinByHannah Make It Monday Amazing You Sale-a-bration Eclipse Card

Make It Monday

I cannot believe it has taken me quite so long to create an Eclipse card! Pinterest has been full of these for probably about 12 months, and at one point I resisted jumping on the band-wagon… until now! The Celebrate You Thinlits just lend themselves perfectly to this technique, and after I created my husbands Valentines card using it, I just HAD to make another just for you!

Bright Fun and easy Eclipse card using Celebrate You from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

I am still loving the Amazing You Stamp Set and Celebrate You thinlits that are available for FREE during Sale-a-bration! That flower is just so pretty, and I am going to be really sad to see it go at the end of the month. However, the Celebrate You thinlits WILL be available in the 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue… but surely its better to get them now for FREE than to pay for them in June?! right!

I think I’ve covered all my top tips for my Eclipse Card in the video…. but if you have any questions to use the comments section below to ask me

Isn’t that colour combination so much fun! I can see this one coming back out again soon… Remember that you can click the colour names above to see all the goodies available from Stampin’ Up! in that particular colour

The second stamp set at work here is Heart Happiness. I just needed something a little extra, and the hearts were just the perfect addition.

Before I go today, I just want to mention about Sale-a-bration! We are in the final 2 weeks of this fabulous offer… and Stampin’ Up! offered even more last week. Sale-a-bration ends on the 31st March, be sure to get your orders in before 10:59PM so you don’t miss out!

Techniques | Shadow Stamping with Amazing You from Stampin’ Up!

Techniques Card making tutorial using Amazing You Sale-a-bration and All Things Thanks from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Techniques Shadow Stamping with Amazing You from Stampin’ Up!

Stamping Techniques Series

I have a quick technique for you this week… you guys know how much I love a good stamp-y technique, and this one is super simple but really fun!

All Things Thanks card using Amazing You from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

The sentiment is taken from All Things Thanks. I have double stamped it here with Whisper White ink first and then over stamped in Basic Grey to create this fun Shadow Stamping effect.

The trick here really is a stamp positioning tool. I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig for this one, but I cannot wait for the Stamparatus to arrive in my craft room so I can make more cards like this one! the Stamparatus is the new Stamp Positioning tool from Stampin’ Up! which will launch properly in the new Annual catalogue in June… but I did manage to pre-order one that should be coming very soon!

How to make a simple thank you card using All things thanks from Stampin' Up!

I think my favourite bit of this card is the coloured doily… I have been doing this quite a bit recently (and have already shared a card with this this week!) using Stampin’ Blends to colour up those cute doilies. LOVE!

The background of this card uses the Amazing You stamp set which is available for FREE during Sale-a-bration.

Facebook Live Online Card Class Re-Run | February 2018

Heat Embossing with Amazing You from Stampin' Up! Facebook Live video

StampinByHannah Facebook Live Online Card Class Re-Run February 2018

Stampin' Up! Facebook Live StampinByHannah UK

Last week saw the 2nd Facebook Live Online Card Class of 2018. This month we used the Amazing You Stamp set and coordinating Celebrate You thinlits from Sale-a-bration. I am completely in LOVE with this stamp set, seriously I have used it SO much and I still do not feel like I’ve used nearly enough!

Amazing You from Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team CASE card

This card was totally inspired by my friend Emma and one of her Artisan Design Team Creations. I just LOVE the black details and pops of colour!

Ombre Die Cutting with Celebrate You from Stampin' Up!

This card was just a nightmare during class… I made the original cards weeks ago (because class was supposed to be on the 6th February, but I had to delay due to work stuff), and I think when I made it the first time around I used Multi-Purpose Adhesive sheets more! Oh well… I’m sure it’ll make a funny blooper during the class!

You can get the Amazing You Stamp set for FREE with a £45 during Sale-a-bration, and the Celebrate You Thinlits are FREE with a £90 order (although they will also be in the 2018-2019 Annual catalogue too!).

Pootlers Team Blog Hop | Celebrating Sale-a-bration!

How to create a fun Congratulations card using Amazing You from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Pootlers Team Blog Hop Celebrating Sale-a-bration!

Pootles Stampin' Up! Team Blog Hop

Welcome to StampinByHannah for the second Pootlers Team Blog Hop of 2018. This week we are sharing a heap of Sale-a-bration inspiration, and I cannot wait to see what the other ladies have made. You can find out first blog hop of 2018 HERE, where we shared Spring Summer catalogue goodies!

How to create a fun Congratulations card using Amazing You from Stampin' Up!

Sale-a-bration is awesome this year! There are so many great items that you can choose for free when you shop, my current favourite (it changes from week to week!) is the Amazing You stamp set and the Celebrate You thinlits. I LOVE when products coordinate, which is why I love Stampin’ Up! so much, and these two pair together wonderfully.

I used the Celebrate die twice, once to cut a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper and a second time to cut a piece of watercolour paper I had already coloured using Brusho. I am really enjoying playing with Brusho at the moment and am embracing the mess that comes along with it! There is one top tip for using the dies in the Celebrate You Thinlits… make sure that you back your card stock with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet BEFORE you die cut it. This makes the words SO much easier to adhere to your project, as they are then basically fancy stickers!

Celebrating Sale-a-bration with Pootles and the team with Amazing You from Stampin' Up!

The Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets also work really well sticking to the Glimmer Paper (please don’t ask how many times and different adhesives I used in the making of this card, how many Celebrates I die cut!), and it sticks well to the ribbon too! The Night of Navy Crinkle Seam Binding is attached to the card stock with a strip of Fast Fuse, and I ruffled it a little as I stuck it down to create this effect.

Do check out the other projects created by the Pootlers… and thank you so much for checking out StampinByHannah today!

Make It Monday | Fun Heart Happiness Card

How to Make a cute card using Heart Happiness from Stampin' Up! with Video Tutorial

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Fun Heart Happiness Card

Make It Monday

This week I have a whole week of Love themed projects and a whole heap of Valentines inspiration. Today’s card is one you might recognise from Saturday, but I loved it so much that I just HAD to make a video!

How to Make a cute card using Heart Happiness from Stampin' Up! with Video Tutorial

I can’t decide which is my favourite version of this card; the Night of Navy and Gold, or this Fresh Fig and Silver (I am a purple and silver girl at heart!). My favourite part of this card is the Glimmer paper Amazing! I am in LOVE with this die so much… It’s taken from the Celebrate You Thinlits dies, which you can find as part of Sale-a-bration. Have you checked out the Sale-a-bration goodies yet? They are totally awesome! There are two tiers of products this year; Level 1 items can be chosen as your Free gift when you place a £45 order, while Level 2 items (which is what this die is) can be picked as your Free gift when you place a £90 order.

There is a fair bit of Heat Embossing on this card. I will admit I have a bit of a heat embossing addiction at the moment (Did you see my January Facebook Live… ALL the cards had Heat Embossing!). This is one of those WOW techniques for me, I just can’t help be totally memorised by watching a dull looking powder turn into shine-y loveliness! I do have a couple of Heat Embossing top tips:

  • Use your Embossing Buddy! – This is one of those items that you never buy because pretty stamps take priority right?! but seriously, this thing is amazing… rub it across your card stock before you start, and it stops the powder sticking where it shouldn’t
  • Take your Embossing Powders out of the tiny pots! – I store my Embossing Powders in larger tubs, it stops me making such a mess!
  • Get your Heat Tool good and hot before you start trying to melt your powders … it stops your card stock warping quite so much

Ok, so that is my card for today. I have a super cute card for you tomorrow, so please do check back! Oh, and have you signed up for my emails yet…. I have a fabulous card for my subscribers today too!

InspireInk Blog Hop | Sparkly Amazing You…

Fun Heart Happiness Valentines Card for the InspirINK blog hop using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah InspireInk Blog Hop Sparkly Amazing You…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Oh I am so excited about today’s blog post! You might remember last year, I took part in a monthly blog hop called Simply Sketched Saturday? Well, I co-run this monthly event with my lovely friend Sam, and we have changed things up a bit. (Can I just take a moment to look at our awesome new logo… its so damn pretty!)

InspirInk Blog Hop January Theme Sparkle Shimmer and Shine

This month’s theme is Sparkle, Shimmer and Shine… and I CANNOT wait to see what the girls on the team have made! We have 17 InspireINK blogs taking part this month, and you can see them all by clicking the NEXT button at the bottom of this blog post.

How to create a fun sparkly Valentines card using Heart Happiness and Amazing You from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

Ok, so I have a confession to make about this card… it wasn’t my first creation for today’s blog hop, but I am SO glad that I didn’t settle for the card I had, because I LOVE this one! You can see the first version (very quickly) in my Make It Monday video this Monday, when I might just be making another version of this fabulously sparkly number!

There are two stamp sets at work on this card; Heart Happiness and the lovely Amazing You, as well as the Celebrate You Thinlits which coordinate. The large hearts are simply stamped  in Night of Navy while the stamp does all the work to get that multi-tonal effect. The little hearts are then stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder

Fun Sale-a-bration Heart Valentines card using Heart Happiness and Amazing You from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is the star of the show here though, with Amazing die cut from Gold Glimmer Paper (I cannot get enough of Glimmer paper, or this die, at the moment!), and the other words taken from Amazing You heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

I hope that you have enjoyed stopping by StampinByHannah today, and hope to see you here again soon! Please do hop along and see the rest of the InspireINK team…

Techniques | How to assemble a custom sentiment with Amazing You

Bright and fun Congratulations card using Amazing You from Stampin' Up! Free during Sale-a-bration

StampinByHannah Techniques How to assemble a custom sentiment with Amazing You

Stamping Techniques Series

This week’s techniques video is probably less about the technique and more about the card…. actually there are two techniques in this card, but I wound rabbit on too long about the other one!

Bright and fun Congratulations card using Amazing You from Stampin' Up! Free during Sale-a-brationThis card was inspired by the lovely Holly Stene and THIS card which I spotted on Instagram. I have recently started to ‘save’ my favourite ideas on Instagram ready for inspiration at a later date, but this time I think this card was so imprinted on my brain that I only went into my ‘saved’ feed to work out who made the original!


So, two techniques for the price of one?! Yep, first lets just quickly mention those flowers…. and stamping with Stampin’ Write markers! I LOVE using my markers to colour my stamps and get multi-coloured stamped images. Check the video for my top tips!

The second (and main) technique is about that sentiment. The Amazing You Stamp set and Celebrate You thinlits dies (both available for FREE during Sale-a-bration by the way!) are a great way to customise you cards. The combination of the stamps and dies allow you to create your own sentiments… and there are heaps of possibilities! I’ve used ‘Lets Celebrate You’ today, but would love to see your sentiment ideas in the comments below!

StampinByHannah Cardmaking Techniques Video Tutorial how to create a DIY sentiment with Amazing You from Stampin' Up!

I have a fabulous class planned with this stamp and die set, for FREE, in February. You can find all the information about my upcoming classes and events HERE, and you can find out more about my Facebook Live Online Card Classes over on my Facebook Page.

Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop | Amazing You

Sale-a-bration 2018 Congratulations Card using Amazing You and Celebrate You from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop Amazing You

Sale-a-bration Kick off Blog Hop with Janet Wakeland

Tonight I have a special blog post for you… I have joined with a host of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world to Celebrate the start of Sale-a-bration 2018. Sale-a-bration starts tomorrow and I have a special blog post going up first thing in the morning with all the details, but I have a fabulous card to share with you tonight using TWO of the fabulous Sale-a-bration free gifts….

How to make a fun Congratulations card using Sale-a-bration stamp set Amazing You from Stampin' Up!

This card uses the Amazing You Stamp set, and the coordinating Celebrate You Thinlits dies, both of which are FREE during Sale-a-bration. I wanted to keep this card fairly simple and let the sentiment do all the talking. The ‘Amazing’ is die cut from Champagne Foil Sheet, while the rest of the sentiment is stamped and heat embossed in White onto Basic Black card stock

The Designer Series Paper is another brand new product, from this year’s Spring Summer catalogue, and I am totally in LOVE with it. I am such a sucker for Black and White Designer Series Paper anyway, but this pack is gorgeous! Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is part of the Petal Palette Suite… and I have HEAPS of samples to share with you over the next few weeks!

Sale-a-bration 2018 Congratulations Card using Amazing You and Celebrate You from Stampin' Up!

The other cool bit of this card is the Gold Embossed Splatter. I saw this recently on the Stampin’ Up! Instagram page, and I just thought it was such a cool idea. It’s also super easy to do! I splattered a mix of White Craft Ink and Water onto my Whisper White card stock, then sprinkled over some Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, but Stampin’ Up! suggested a mix of Multipurpose Glue and water.

So fun!

Check out the other Demonstrators taking part in the Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop, and I hop to see you here again soon!
