Welcome Animal Outing

Fun Welcome card with a Kangaroo using Animal Outings from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Welcome Animal Outing

 

Are you like me, always saving fun card making inspiration you spot on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest? Are you also like me in that you never actually get around to making any of them! I am terrible…. one day I might actually get to spend the day creating using all this inspiration… mind you I did manage to do that for this card. It was inspired by a card I spotted from Debbie Hughes

How to make a fun animal themed Welcome card using Animal Outing from Stampin' Up!

This card was SO fun to make… and I’ve been playing with layers again!

The stitched circle is dry embossed with the Layered Leaves Textured Impressions Embossing Folder before being gentle-y rubbed over with a hint of Mint Macaron and a sponge. The cute kangaroo is from the new Animal Outing stamp set, and I’ve added a hint of colour with some watercolour pencil and a blender pen before fussy cutting it.

I’m sorry that today’s photos are so dark, I’m still playing around with my new camera…. and by the looks of it completely failing to work out the White Balance! oh well…. there’s always next time!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Super Special Gate Fold Facebook Live!

Make It Monday

Bit of a difference with this week’s Make It Monday…. but it’s just as special! Actually, it might be MORE special, as I have a fabulous Fancy Fold for you AND a fun giveaway to (one of two launching today…. stay tuned for an update later!)

I shared the complete process of making this card on Facebook Live on Saturday. Have you caught one of my Facebook Live’s yet? This one was a little out of sync, I usually go Live every other Sunday at 11AM… the next one is this coming Sunday… and there is ALWAYS a fun giveaway too. Check the video on Facebook to enter!

I promised that I would share the measurements of this special Gate Fold card BUT… this one is currently only in Metric (because working out both sets of measurements at 11AM on a Saturday morning was just too much for my brain to handle!). However, my fabulous friend Liz has already created an Imperial version…. which I will share on my Facebook page once it goes live on her blog

Card base: 9 x 27 cm, scored on the long side at 4.5, 9, 18 and 22.5 cm

Whisper White layers: 4 pieces that measure; 4 x 8.5 cm

Designer Series Paper: 4 pieces of Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper that measure; 3.5 x 8 cm

Inside pieces; Whisper White: 8 x 8 cm, Petal Pink: 8.5 x 8.5 cm

Outside pieces; Whisper White: 7 x 7 cm, Petal Pink: 7.5 x 7.5 cm

Fun Gate Fold card and custom envelope using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Because this card is a VERY custom size, I HAD to make an envelope for it too! Using the same Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper…

Designer Series Paper; 15.6 x 15.6 cm

Punch and Score using the Envelope Punch Board at 7.8 cm

Global Design Project 140 | Just for you…

Pretty stamped Just for You card using stamps and embossing folders and Rooted in Nature from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Global Design Project 140 Just for you…

Global Design Team Case The Designer Challenge with Brain King

I haven’t taken part in the Global Design Project for AGES! You guys know how much I LOVE a good creative challenge, and this one is definitely one of the best…. This week’s challenge is a CASE the Designer; where you are actively encouraged to use a card by one of the super talented Design Team, as inspiration for another.

This is the point where I will admit that this is NOT the first card I made for this one, and I might well share the first one with you in a few weeks. This happens to me quite often, particularly when I’m creating for a challenge… I’ll make a card, and then go away for a few hours and better inspiration will strike, and a even better card magically appears on my craft desk. It is awesome!

How to make a pretty delicate Just for You card with leaves and flowers using Rooted in Nature from Stampin' Up!

I love the shape of the stamping on Brian’s card, but I choose here to make that shape smaller… and swap some stamping with some dry embossing. I also really liked Brian’s colour combination…although I have swapped the Basic Black for Grey Granite…. and the Flirty Flamingo for Berry Burst dots using a Stampin’ Write Marker. The floral element from Brian’s card becomes leaves too.

Global Design Project Case the Designer Just for You Natural Card using Rooted in Nature from Stampin' Up!

I’ve been sharing a few cards using the fabulous Rooted in Nature Stamp set recently… including my Facebook Live video from yesterday. I’ll be sharing that one here tomorrow, along with some fabulous Giveaway news too!

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Oh dear…. I totally dropped the ball in May, I’m usually super organised when it comes to my blog, but this past month I have managed to miss several blog hops that I LOVE taking part in… and I almost missed this one too! It actually should have been last weekend, but I think we all felt May… and so it’s the first weekend of June instead!

This month’s Theme was set by the ever gorgeous Sam Roberts…. and boy did she give us a challenge!

InspireInk Blog Hop cardmaking challenge theme FunFair Carnival

I cannot WAIT to see what the other ladies have made for this one! I spent hours thinking about this theme…. so long that I missed the original deadline! But… creating bold and bright projects for my In-Colour week brought me inspiration, and this card arrived on my desk!

How to make a bright and fun congratulations card with a hot air balloon using Lift Me Up from Stampin' Up!

I haven’t taken the Lift Me Up Stamp Set off the shelf in AGES… and I had forgotten how much I love it! It has the cutest coordinating die set, Up and Away thinlits.

This card is SO bright, thanks mainly to that fun Pineapple Punch card base. The other colours on this card are; Balmy Blue, Granny Apple Green, Calypso Coral and Poppy Parade.

Make It Monday Card making Video Tutorial Thank You Card using Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Fun with Beautiful Bouquet and some new colours!

Make It Monday

Well, I am sorry that this post didn’t go out at the usual time of 7AM…. but, I do have a fabulous week of In-Colour goodness to make up for it! The reason for my tardiness this morning? Oh, there is a story! I ALWAYS share a video on a Monday, and I went to film on Saturday, and my camera completely died… dead! So, I rushed out and bought a new one (something I should have done about 18 months ago!)… but it’s meant that this weekend has been filled with learning how to use this new beast, PLUS it’s Bank Holiday so I had family stuff to do, and so this blog post got pushed. I’m sure you wont mind… particularly when I tell you what else is coming this week!

Pretty Floral Thank you card with die cut flowers using Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin' Up!

I have 5 fabulous projects for you this week, all featuring the new Stampin’ Up! In-Colours for 2018-2020. These new ink pads are available to purchase right NOW as part of the Share What You Love Bundles, they are super bright, and lots of fun! I can certainly see them getting a LOT of use in my craft room this year.

Today’s colour is Lovely Lipstick; a fabulously bold Pink… that I can already see heaps of fun colour combinations with. You can check out just a few of my Lovely Lipstick colour combinations in today’s Stampin’ Inspiration email. This week, to celebrate the launch of these new colours AND the new Annual Catalogue on Friday, I’m sending an email each day, complete with a PDF download of each blog project AND a heap of colour inspiration too! You can subscribe right HERE…. and yes, I am GDPR compliant (before you even ask! lol)

There is of course a video tutorial for this card too…. check it out to see all the details!

Fun Floral Thank You card using New Ink Colours from Stampin' Up!
