Crafty Challenges | Colour Challenge with Happy Forest Friends

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Crafty Challenge blog hop. This month Stephanie challenged us with a colour combination that I found incredibly challenging! I really don’t know why I found it so hard… other than these being colours I really don’t use all that often, but I did manage to pull something together in the end

I pulled the Happy Forest Friends suite for this one… I think inspired by the greens and brown in the colour combination.

Share it Sunday | More fun with Kindest Gnomes!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Share it Sunday blog hop. I have had parts of this card floating around on my desk for a while. I actually coloured the Gnome and the Toadstool at the last in person team event, which was back in September! Last weekend I co-hosted a virtual team stamping day, and managed to get them onto a card.

As well as the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and Gnome dies, this card uses the Stylish Shapes dies and Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper, with a hint of in blending in the background

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | Painted Poppies

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Stampin’ Dreams blog hop. This month our theme is ‘In Memoriam’ and so the only stamp set I could reach for was Painted Poppies. I love this stamp set for sympathy cards, its just so perfect.

One of the reasons I love the Painted Poppies stamp set so much is that it has 2 step stamping, with a couple of more solid images that you can use to ” colour” those floral and leaf stamps.

The coordinating dies are also fabulous, and I’ve paired it here with the Peaceful Moments for the sentiment

Stampin’ Inspiration | Hand Penned Petals for Global Design Project

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. This evening’s YouTube Live was so much fun… although I did make a bit of a boo boo! You can’t see it on the final card though, so really, unless you watch the video you wont know what I did wrong.

Anyway, today’s card is inspired by 2 fabulous challenges. 1. This weeks Global Design Project, and 2. The 30 Days of Christmas Card Making colour combination.

I haven’t used the Hand Penned Petals stamp set for ages… but I thought it would work well for this, particularly with the hint of watercolour on that flower.

The colours here at Polished Pink, Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia, with a bit of Crumb Cake for some balance

International Blog Highlight | Thank You Sun Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I haven’t joined in with the Blog Highlight for a little while, and I’ve really missed it! So, here we are, back again with a fun Thank You card I made on Sunday afternoon.

I love the Natures Prints stamp set and the coordinating dies (especially that wreath!) but I really struggle to get it used. So, I turned to a sketch I’ve used fair bit this year, of a layer of card stock and a layer of Designer Series Paper… and then had a play about with where the wreath could/should be…

The Sun Prints suite only has a few colours; Gray Granite, Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Starry Sky. Here I’ve used Gray Granite as the card base, and then stamped in Night of Navy.

Can you see, there are 5 Rhinetones on this card? But they are subtle as I’ve coloured them with a dark Night of Navy Blend pen. I love the effect!

If you love this card as much as I do… please consider voting for it over on Kylie’s blog.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #129 | Christmas Season

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this week… this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a theme… and we are going Festive! I LOVE making Christmas cards, but am not great at cards that you can mass produce. So, I thought I would make something simple that you could easily make heaps of!

This card uses the Christmas Season and Christmas to Remember stamp sets, and the following colours; Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Real Red and Shaded Spruce.

The card base is Early Espresso with a layer of Crumb Cake before I added that stamped piece of Basic White.

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | Hues of Happiness

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months Crafty Challenge Blog Hop! This months Challenge was a sketch, which I haven’t played with all that much to be honest. I knew I wanted to use Designer Series Paper for the stripes, but then took a little while to pick a suite…. I am so happy that I settled on Hues of Happiness, I LOVE this suite!

Hues of Happiness Thank you card using Stampin' Up! products with StampinByHannah

The stripes of Designer Series Paper are layered onto a panel of Basic White card stock, which I have die cut using the Stylish Shapes dies for that stitched edge and then popped up on a heap of Dimensionals. The layer behind is stamped with the coordinating Happiness Abounds stamp set in Night of Navy Ink.

The sentiment uses the Amazing Thanks dies and is cut from Basic White and Bermuda Bay card stock. And the card is finished with a trio of Glossy Dots.

Share It Sunday | Warm Welcome Stepped Up Card

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. When it came to making a card for this Sunday’s blog hop, I was looking through the complete mess on my desk, and spotted THESE CARDS that I made as part of last Sunday’s Facebook Live, and thought this would be a great opportunity to created a ‘Stepped Up’ version.

Rainbow stamping with Warm Welcome from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card uses the Warm Welcome bundle, and this time I have added some Stylish Shapes die cuts, vellum, and linen thread. The original version of this card had the presents coloured with blends, but this time I have used Watercolour Pencils on Sahara Sand card stock for a softer look.
