12 days of Christmas with StampinByHannah Independent Stampin' Up! UK Demonstrator

I cannot believe that we are already at the last video of my 12 Days of Christmas series for 2016! I have had so much fun, and I hope you have enjoyed them too. This is my chance for a bit of a catch up with you all before the festivities begin….. This past few months have been more than a little hectic, and I have had to re-evaluate what I can and cannot do with my blog, videos and events. (as I write this I have nothing made for the new year, heaps of things on the to do list, and not a lot of prospect of finding time to do any of it!)

Which leaves me with some sad news, at least for the first half of 2017 I wont be doing any in-person events, I am gutted because I just LOVE to stamp with you all, but I just cannot commit to a regular evening, and I don’t like having to change the day the week before (which has happened more than once in 2016) so, to replace my in-person events, I will be posting 2 classes each month online! Yay! …. oh, and the videos and blog posts are staying too!

Right then, class details……

  • Class sign up’s start on 4th January, but you can pre-register your interest using the form below!
  • Class costs £45, which means that you get to pick one of the FABULOUS Sale-a-bration goodies!
  • Classes will be posted on the 1st and 14th of each month and you will have around 14 days to pre-order before I close the class and place your orders! Classes should ship to you about a week later.
  • There will be a postage fee of £3.00 per class kit
  • Each class will make 6 cards (or other projects) and comes with exclusive video tutorials as well as all the card stock, embellishments and other bits of bobs to make the cards!

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge – December 2016

Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge

Hello! Welcome to the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge for December! One of our brand new members Amanda Charlesworth set us a fabulously swirly challenge this month, and while I have straightened out the swirls to fit in with my style I cannot wait to see what the other girls have made!

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge December challenge using Birthday Blossoms from Stampin' Up! UK

Amanda’s original sketch had a swirl on the diagonal from top to bottom, but seeing as I don’t own a single swirl stamp I have removed that bit of the sketch. This is one of those things I love doing with sketched, changing them to suit what I own and my style of card making. I do however love the floral cluster idea in the middle of the card, so I took that and ran with it!

The darker flowers are punched using the Blossom Builder punch, and I have used the faux suede technique to create these fabulously textured flowers

Thank you so much for checking out the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge this month, we can’t wait to see you again in the new year!

Congratulations Card using Floral Phrases

Floral Phrases congratulations card using stamps from Stampin' Up! UK

As you will know if you have shopped with me, I LOVE to send cards to my customers, team members and other crafty friends, I don’t always need a reason, but I will send a card if someone has reached a milestone, or done something awesome. And so this card was one I made for one of the girls in the team a month or so ago for reaching one of her goals!

Congratulations card using Floral phrases from Stampin' Up! UK

I have been trying not to stamp the Floral Phrases stamp set in Night of Navy, but its hard to avoid when using it with the coordinating Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper! The Floral image is stamped directly onto the DSP, and then the spatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge is heat embossed in Gold over the top.

Floral Phrases congratulations card using stamps from Stampin' Up! UKI have already shared this card with the team too, we had a great night of crafty chat and card making on Facebook a few weeks ago, and I shared this as my Swap! The person I sent it to had already received it, so I knew it was safe! I’m planning on a few online team nights in the coming months on our Team Facebook Group, and I would love you to join us! You can find out more about joining my team HERE!


Question of the day: What crafty project are you working on this week?

I’m still trying to get a stack of Christmas cards finished ready for James to send to his work and University friends, as well as finishing my projects for my blog up until the end of the year, oh and prepping for my classes and events in the new year too! busy busy!

Make it Monday video gift card holders and vouchers Stampin' Up! UK

I’ve been making a few of this style of card with a matching gift card envelope for customers ordering Gift vouchers recently. They are super speedy makes and look really sharp.

Make it Monday Video Tutorial using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up! UK

And the design works with just about any sentiment too! I mean, that Christmas card looks awesome with the Emerald Envy Glitter Embossed sentiment

The gift card holders are super easy to make with the Gift Card Envelope and Trim Thinlits dies. The die not only cuts the shape, but scores the fold lines too, so you can make a gift card holder in 10 minutes!

The sentiments on both these cards were totally hand stamped, but if you’re not confident stamping straight you could just as easily use a Stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure level sentiments

Question of the day: What’s your favourite type of gift? I LOVE receiving gift cards, I know I’m a bit odd with that one, but I just loving being given the gift of shopping! I hate getting bath stuff, last Christmas I got 10 bottles of bubble bath! I don’t know if my family are trying to tell me something! lol

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge | November 2016

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge using Frosted Medallions from Stampin' Up! UK

Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge

Oh yes, it’s the 3rd Saturday of the month, which only means one thing around here…. It’s time for the Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge!

This month’s sketch was created by the gorgeous Anna Krol, and I cannot wait to see what everyone makes of it!

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge November 2016

I think this sketch would be a perfect opportunity to use those fabulous Stitched Shapes Framelits (and I am sure that there will be a few of the ladies who have done just that) however, seeing as they haven’t found a home in my crafty office yet, and I don’t have any oval dies either, I’ve switched things up a bit, and swapped it for some stamping instead!

The Best is Yet to Come sketch challenge card using Frosted Medallions from Stampin' Up! UK

This card is almost a one layer number actually… thinking about it how cute would it be on some 2 x 2″ tags for Christmas!

A few weeks ago at a Stampin’ Up! event I was reminded of this technique, which is so simple that it probably doesn’t even have name! Stamping with your clear blocks! Here I have inked up my Clear Block (G) in Pool Party, Marina Mist and Watermelon Wonder to create this cool textured, layered stamping look.

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge using Frosted Medallions from Stampin' Up! UK

The cute doily stamp is from Frosted Medallions, as is the sentiment, and both are stamped in Island Indigo. I almost left it there, but it just needed a little something, and I did think about adding some sparkle, Wink of Stella or Rhinestones, but then no, a simple spritz of Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango will do.

Customer Thank You Cards

Customer thank you cards using Thankful Thoughts Playful Backgrounds and Crazy about you from Stampin' Up! UK

I LOVE sending Customer thank you cards, I always pop something into the post to say thanks for choosing me as your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. The fact that you have chosen to shop with me is a huge honour, and really, sending a little handmade thank you is not enough… but there just aren’t enough hours in the day.

Customer thank you cards using Thankful Thoughts Playful Backgrounds and Crazy about you from Stampin' Up! UK

Normally I wait until the end of the month to send my Thank you cards, but I made a few of these early for those lovely ladies that shopped my Buy One Get One Free sale earlier in the month. Now, I wouldn’t normally throw 3 stamp sets at one card either but I got a little carried away with the stamping! I do love Stamping you know! lol

Customer thank you cards using Thankful Thoughts Playful Backgrounds and Crazy about you from Stampin' Up! UK

Ok, so the sentiment is from Thankful Thoughts, the background is Playful Backgrounds and the flowers are from Crazy About You and punched with the Flower Medallion punch


Question of the day: What are you planning for dinner?

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial using Christmas Pines and Warmth and Cheer from Stampin' Up! UK

My favourite part of this card is that POP of copper! not only the Copper Metallic Thread, but that super shiny pine cone die cut from Copper Foil Paper – so pretty

Easy Christmas Pines Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

The die cuts are adhered using Fine-Tip Glue. I have a couple of top tips for using this great adhesive:

  1. Stick with it! At first I wasn’t a fan, but as I have continued to use it, it gets easier – partly because I’ve learned it’s properties and therefore can control it better, but also because the bottle isn’t full anymore, making it easier to use.
  2. Use it one the silicone mat – saves me sticky fingers!
  3. You only need a tiny amount, can you see where it has spread on this card … that’s because I used too much (Ooops!) but I blame the video camera!
