The Project Share Project….

StampinByHannah The Project Share Project….

I have something fabulous to share with you this week! One of the most special parts of Stampin’ Up! for me is the people I get to meet and spend time with. This past weekend I spent 3 days with some of my favourite crafty people, and I want to share them with you to!

This week I’ve got 3 fabulous projects for you….

Sally Stampers

The Oh So Eclectic bundle is one of my favourites from this year’s Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue and I LOVE how Sally has paired it with the Seaside embossing folder

Intatwyne Designs

This is one of Angelina’s stand out projects for me…. when I think of her I always think of these bags!

Slimm and Stylish

The Large Numbers dies are on this year’s Retiring List… grab it soon before it sells out!

International Blog Highlights | Swirly Bird Baby Card…

Cute little bird baby card using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights Swirly Bird Baby Card…

Oh my! This month’s Blog Highlight was a challenge! I’m just coming onto the phase in my life where everyone is having babies… and so making baby cards isn’t something I’ve done all that much of! I have just bought one of the baby themed stamp sets from the Annual catalogue because one of my best girl friends is due a baby any day…. but neither have arrived yet! So, I had to turn to my existing stamp collection…. and at that point I got stuck!

Pinterest to the rescue… and THIS card from the lovely Pat Tecza… and so this card was born!

I haven’t taken Swirly Bird off the shelf for ages… I’d forgotten how much I love it! The card base has been stamped in Soft Sky ink onto Soft Sky card stock for a fun tone on tone effect. Then there is a hint of something special with a couple of stripes of Washi Tape down the right hand side

The Congratulations is taken from the Home Life bundle. I’ve been using this one a LOT recently, it’s got some really handy sentiments… and don’t get my started on that font!

I completed this card with a fun double bow in Pool Party solid Bakers Twine.

James’ True Gentleman Birthday Card…

Fun birthday card using Truly Tailored and True Gentleman Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah James’ True Gentleman Birthday Card…

So, last week I shared THIS card for Inspire.Create.Challenges… well today I have the card that sparked that one!

This card was also inspired by a Global Design Project sketch challenge from a few weeks ago, and while I didn’t quite get to posting it for that challenge, I still wanted to share it with you.

So, the background of the Basket Weave Embossing Folder was a freebie during Sale-a-bration, but is coming back in this years Annual Catalogue! Yay! But it isn’t available right now 🙁

The True Gentleman Designer Series Paper is a fun mix of heaps of guy themed images and classic patterns, and it is perfect for guy cards. Each layer here has had it’s edges sponged with Crumb Cake ink to help to tie everything together for a fully cohesive look

The ‘You’re a Fox’ stamp coordinates with the Tailored Tag punch… but I will admit that rather than buying it, I hand cut this one! It’s a nice simple shape… and I would rather spend my £££’s on stamps!

This card is finished with a length of Corduroy Night of Navy ribbon and a trio of True Gentleman Buttons

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Step It Up with Petal Palette from Stampin’ Up!

This week’s Make It Monday should have been last week’s Facebook Live… but something came up that needed dealing with that afternoon. So, I had to postpone. I hate doing that!

Check out the video to see how this card developed….

So, the layers on this card are as follows:

Card making video tutorial fun Birthday card with Delightful Daisy from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah How to make a fun Birthday card using Delightful Daisy from Stampin’ Up!

This week I have shared a heap of ways to use up your Designer Series Paper before the new Annual Catalogue lands in May… and today is no different. One of my favourite packs of Designer Series Paper this past year has been the Delightful Daisy. It is a fun take on a classic floral, with a hint of watercolour. Just lovely.

This card came together in less than 15 minutes… check the video for all the details. You can find my Standard Card Measurements on THIS page.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is taken from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp set, which is also this month’s Stamp of the Month!

The Delightful Daisy suite features not only this wonderful Designer Series Paper but also the Daisy Delight Stamp set and coordinating Daisy Punch. Grab the Designer Series Paper and the Stamp and Punch Bundle soon before they retire.

Inspire.Create.Challenges 015 – Quick and Easy Masculine Cards!

Fun Masculine card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using True Gentleman Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenges 015 – Quick and Easy Masculine Cards!

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a Theme… and it’s a Theme that I think a lot of us struggle with, cards for men! They are tricky to please, and they don’t want pink, or floral, or bows… and lets be honest, that’s a LOT of our crafting! However, Stampin’ Up! to the rescue again… with the True Gentleman suite!

This card was inspired by another card I have made recently (that I’ll be sharing with you very soon!). I have been really enjoying making men’s card with the True Gentleman suite, the stamps and Designer Series Paper just tie together so perfectly… don’t you LOVE it when products do that, makes crafting so easy!

The card base is in Sahara Sand, and the first layer is a sheet of Night of Navy card stock embossed using the Hexagons Embossing Folder. You can find my standard card making measurements HERE!

There are 3 different pieces of Designer Series Paper at work here too… along with a circle of DIY Designer Series Paper (stamped using the Truly Tailored stamp set). The circles are all cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits, these dies are definitely at the top of my crafty MUST HAVE list, I use them SO often!

This card is finished with a trio of strips of Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon.

I would LOVE to see you masculine creations, join in with us at Inspire.Create.Challenges!

You’re Just Lovely with Oh So Eclectic

How to make a fun card using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah You’re Just Lovely with Oh So Eclectic

I have made SO many cards this with the Oh So Eclectic Stamp and Die Bundle! I LOVE the bundles in the catalogue, not only to they ensure you get stamps and dies that coordinate, they are also a great way to save cash! When you order a bundle (with its special order number) you save 10% over buying the items separately.

Yesterday I shared a fun way to use up some of those smaller scraps of Designer Series Paper. This card also uses Designer Series Paper, but you’re going to need a slightly bigger scrap. Good then that Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper comes in two sizes… most is 12 x 12″, while some is 6 x 6″… both are perfect for card making!

The Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set coordinates perfectly with the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper, as well as some other fun goodies…

The flower in the Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set matches the one in the Designer Series Paper perfectly, particularly when stamped in Peekaboo Peach. The sentiment is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

Just a quick heads up… we are due to get the Stampin’ Up! 2018 Retiring List this coming weekend (keep an eye on my Facebook Page for up to date news!)… but Designer Series Paper very rarely carries over… so if you love this paper as much as I do, I’d be grabbing it sooner rather than later as once that Retiring List goes live ALL items will go into While Stocks Last status… and I wouldn’t want you to miss out on your favourites!

This weeks Make It Monday video tutorial is the perfect card to make with the left overs from your April Stamp of the Month Club kit! This month’s kit features a heap of goodies from the Picture Perfect Birthday suite, and is perfect for making Birthday cards for all your friends and family! (yes, guys included!)

I have made this style of card before, and its definately not a new idea… but it is PERFECT for using up those scraps of Designer Series Paper. This is the time of year I go into over drive mode using Designer Series Paper, with Stampin’ Up! OnStage just around the corner, and a new catalogue on the way. It’s time to clear those paper shelves in preparation for some fabulous new designs that are coming really soon!

This card (believe it or not) doesn’t rely heavily on set measurements… I would suggest measuring your scraps and going from there. But here are the measurements I have used:

Measurements:

Check out my new Standard Card Measurements Page for my card base measurements!

Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper;
