Pretty Vintage Card using Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

How to create a pretty vintage floral card using Petal Promenade from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Pretty Vintage Card using Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Yes, a blog post on a Saturday… and a video too! A little while ago the lovely Janice Thomson from the team suggested that we do a video hop again (we did one around this time last year, and it was SO much fun….) and with the current Designer Series Paper special, the time seemed right to do it in July!

Check out my video below, but be sure to check out the other videos too… you can find them all on my YouTube channel in the Playlist section

I am totally in LOVE with the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper… I actually used it on a gift bag yesterday too! This pack of patterned paper is a beautiful mix of photo-real florals and very pretty marble effects…. and while it’s not my usual style I am totally obsessed and will certainly be using the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Designer Series Paper Sale to stock up on some more!

My other favourite part of this card is that Die cut Mossy Meadow doily! Oh my goodness it’s pretty, and just about the perfect accent piece for every. single. card. I will probably ever make! I have heaps of inspiration coming to you using this paper and the Beautiful Promenade Bundle during July as I have chosen it for my Suite of the Month… more coming about that on Monday!

Before I let you go and check out everyone else’s fabulous videos… I do just want to let you know that I have a Facebook Live planned for Sunday… over on my StampinByHannah Facebook Page at 11AM… I look forward to seeing you then!

Do you want me to introduce you to them?

Verity Purglove

Verity makes stunning cards! I haven’t had a properly play with the Abstract Impressions stamp set yet, but when I do I might just have to CASE this one!

Amanda Charlesworth

Amanda has a totally different style of crafting to me… but comes up with some fabulous ideas! Love this money wallet…. wouldn’t look out of place with a project I shared last week!

Jill Chapman

Jill does several different types of paper craft and is the team quilling queen! This card caught my eye on Social Media this week…. I mean, who can turn down a rainbow!

StampinByHannah Soft Sayings All Inclusive Card Kit from Stampin’ Up!

Sometimes, you need a card in a snap… a project in a hurry… or want to craft but have no inspiration or idea where to start? When I have times like this I grab for one of the Stampin’ Up! All Inclusive Card Kits…. there are 4 in the new catalogue, and I thought I would share one of them with you today! You can find 3 of them (and the refills) at the end of this blog post.

I LOVE this kit… It has a fabulous mixture of different card sizes, pre-printed watercolour effect backgrounds, fun die cuts and Gold Glimmer paper!

The Soft Sayings Card Kit makes 16 fabulous cards; 2 of each of 8 designs… PLUS it comes with a really fun stamp set that you can use again and again. One of the fun things about this kit, is that you can also grab a re-fill kit…. so you can make all 16 cards again! Yay!

I have a fun alternative use for the stamp set in an Exclusive video tutorial for my Email Subscribers next week…. if you haven’t subscribed yet (why not?!) you can sign up HERE!

Inspire.Create.Challenge 021 | Fun Children’s Card using Swirly Bird

Fun card for a little boy using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge 021 Fun Children’s Card using Swirly Bird

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge was a tricky one of me! I don’t make many cards for kids…. seeing as I don’t have any of my own… you wouldn’t think I actually set the challenges for Inspire.Create.Challenge would you?!

A few months ago the lovely Sarah-Jane from the Inspire.Create team gave me THIS pretty card, it’s been sitting on my card display ever since…. and this weekend I decided that the idea would be perfect for a kids card!

The sail boat comes from the Swirly Bird stamp set. I’ve stamped it here in Lemon Lime Twist, night of Navy and Grey Granite (stamped off once)… and fussy cut it before adhering it to the Whisper White square die cut using the Layering Squares Framelits. The scalloped Lemon Lime Twist Square uses the same set of dies.

The background uses 3 die cuts of Night of Navy using the coordinating Swirly Scribbles dies… to adhere them to the card base I did add some Multi-Purpose Adhesive sheet to the back of the card stock before die cutting, but you could use liquid glue to get the same effect.

Don’t forget to check out the other Kid’s Card inspiration over at Inspire.Create.Challenge, and create your own and share it with us there too!

Thinking of You Beautiful Day

Thinking of you card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thinking of You Beautiful Day

I made this card a couple of months ago for one of my Stampin’ Sisters…. and somehow I forgot to blog it! Until now that is! I am so happy that the Beautiful Day Stamp Set has carried over through to the new Annual Catalogue.

The Butterfly is stamped in Stazon Ink, and then I added Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist over the top with a Stampin’ Sponge. To contain the ink a little I did create a Butterfly shaped mask using copier paper… just to protect the white space.

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in Whisper White Stampin’ Emboss Powder… and the card is finished with a trio of ribbons; Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon, Bakers Twine and Copper Metallic Thread.

What was the last occasion you made a card for?

Make It Monday | Team Swaps with Rooted in Nature from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Wonderful Card using Rooted In Nature from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Team Swaps with Rooted in Nature from Stampin’ Up!

3 weeks ago Stampin’ Up! released the 2018 Annual Catalogue…. and this month the team and I have got together to swap cards using new products! I LOVE swapping, particularly with the team, they always have fabulous ideas and swaps are a great way to get some quick inspiration.

I made 7 swap cards… 5 for my swap group, 1 for the lovely Amanda who coordinates our team swaps and one for my team leader too.

I am absolutely LOVING this bundle! I shared THIS fun miniature card using it a few weeks ago on a Facebook Live… but I just couldn’t resist using it again for these team swaps!

I’ve been playing with the new Stampin’ Up! Embossing Mats again too… I shared a fun video on Friday that used a die designed to cut for embossing, but today’s card uses the dies in the Nature’s Roots that are Designed to emboss. They work using a standard Big Shot cutting sandwich… but they are even better if you use the new Embossing Mats!

What would you use this fabulous Rooted in Nature Bundle for?

InspireInk Blog Hop | Creating a fabulous BIG Birthday Card…

Big Birthday Card using Happy Birthday Thinlit from Stampin' Up! for the InspireINK blog Hop

StampinByHannah InspireInk Blog Hop Creating a fabulous BIG Birthday Card…

Ok, so this month’s InspireINK blog hop theme was Milestone Birthdays… and while I love a good milestone, I don’t have ANY in my family or friends this year. I think that the next person to celebrate a birthday in our family will be 34 (or maybe 35…. I can’t remember!). Anyway…. I sort of changed Milestone for BIG…. and so this card was created…

I haven’t used Happy Birthday Thinlit die in a while… but I am so glad it’s carried forward into the new Annual Catalogue, it just makes some really simple, but really effective birthday cards. Here I’ve die cut it 4 times; 3 time from Very Vanilla card stock, and once from a piece of Mint Macaron card stock that I had added some ink blending to. I have to add that I did pop some Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet onto the back of the card stock before I die cut it… just makes stacking these die cuts SO much easier!

I put a heap of sequins into one of my recent Stampin’ Up! orders…. I LOVE sequins on cards, and self-adhesive ones are just fantastic! Then I remembered that I had grabbed the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder to an order a while ago, and hadn’t used it (I know, it’s shocking isn’t it!) and so I ripped the plastic off it, and ran it through my Big Shot…. for a completely Sequined card!

I can’t wait to see what the other girls in the InspireINK team have created for this challenge…. why not hop along with me and find out!

Techniques | How to Emboss using Stampin’ Up! dies…

How to make a fun floral Kindness card and Emboss with dies using Abstract Impressions from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Techniques How to Emboss using Stampin’ Up! dies…

Hello! I haven’t done a proper Techniques post in AGES! But, I have a couple coming up for you, because we have a really cool new tool that works with the Big Shot… and i just cannot get enough!

One of the many new and fabulous items in this years Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue is the Big Shot Embossing Mats. They come in a pack of 3, and work with the Stampin’ Up! Big Shot Platform to allow you to create some really cool embossed effects using your cutting and embossing dies. The Springtime Impressions die I’ve used on this card is designed to cut… and actually I have already used it that way on THIS card from Tuesday… but it looks AMAZING embossed!

Check the video to see how easy it is to do…

There are several Big Shot sandwiches that work to emboss your dies, and which one you will use depends on what kind of die you are using…. I have another one on Monday using some of the embossing dies.

This card used the following:

Big Shot Platform (without the Thin Die Adaptor)
Standard Cutting Plate
Die (cutting side up)
Card stock
BLUE Embossing Mat
White Impressions Plate

I couldn’t not add a bit of stamping though using the coordinating Abstract Impressions Stamp Set. I LOVE that this stamp set comes bundled with these dies, they are so cool and work so perfectly together even though the dies don’t actually cut any of the stamped images. PLUS by buying the bundle you save 10%…. that’s a win win in my book!

The Project Share Project | 3D papercrafts…

Flip Top box using New Ink Colours from Stampin' Up! with Intatwyne Designs

StampinByHannah The Project Share Project 3D papercrafts…

This week’s Project Share’s are totally inspired by a project from the lovely Sally Shaw…. I love 3D papercrafts, but it really is outside of my crafty comfort zone! The girls however, make some wonderful 3D things….

Sally Shaw

I just LOVE how Sally has used the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder on this box! Check Sally’s blog for all the details

Helen Slimm

This box features some Designer Series Paper that is no longer available, but the stamp set is still very much current, and I thought it was such a fun idea I just HAD to share!

Angelina Clark

The queen of 3D has struck again with these fun Flip Top boxes… check Angelina’s blog for some other colour inspiration!

Go for Greece | Pretty Floral card with Abstract Impressions

Fun Floral Thank You card using Springtime Impressions from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Go for Greece Pretty Floral card with Abstract Impressions

Oh Man! I cannot believe I managed to miss this blog hop last month! May totally killed me…. I’m blaming the settling in period of this new job, but really I think it just slipped my mind. It’s ok though because I’m back this month, and I have new goodies to share with you to!

Tomorrow I’m sharing the goodies I got in my first Annual Catalogue order with the lovely people who have subscribed to my weekly Stampin’ Inspiration emails, but I’ll give you a little sneaky peak….

Last week the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team made some awesome card with the new Abstract Impressions bundle…. and I took inspiration from a few of their creations in the making of this one. My video tutorial on Friday also uses this fab bundle, for a really cool technique!

I LOVE the bundles in the Stampin’ Up! catalogue… Did you know, that if you buy a bundle you save 10% over buying the stamps and dies separately? I think that is totally awesome. So far I have collected a fair few of the bundles in the new catalogue, and I am sure that there will be some more finding a space in my craft room shortly too!

This pretty floral card also uses one of my favourite new colours; Lovely Lipstick is one of the 2018-2020 In Colours. These colours only stick around for 2 years, before they are retired and replaced. This helps to keep the Stampin’ Up! colour line really fresh and on trend…. but this colour has quickly become a true favourite, and I just KNOW that I’ll be stocking up on card stock and re-inkers soon!

The large corner die from the Springtime Impressions dies (part of that bundle!) was cut from a piece of Very Vanilla card stock that I had popped some Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet on the back off. Once it was cut I added colour using Stampin’ Sponges for this fun effect.

The background is stamped in Blushing Bride, and then I have added some details in Gold…. oh and that pretty Heat Embossed sentiment too!

Check out the creations of some of the other ladies in the Go for Greece group below….
