Inspire.Create.Challenge #113 | Sketch Challenge

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this week. I am so sorry that I’ve been a bit quiet this month, things have been a little busy at home and I’ve been a bit distracted. Anyway, today sees the start of a new Inspire.Create.Challenge. Hop over to the blog to see the sketch, and check out what the rest of the Design Team have created before you make your own project.

Seeing as today is Mother’s day today, I thought it only right that I share the cards I made for my mum and mother-in-law this year. I clearly had the sketch in my head when I made these, although I wouldn’t usually share these cards here. I’ve had a bit of creative block recently, and despite making several cards this week, these were the first I actually liked! Don’t you hate it when you cant seem to make anything nice?!

These cards use the Simply Succulents stamp set and Potted Succulents dies, which I am so excited to see carrying over into the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #112 | Farewell 2020-2022 In Colours!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today. This week Inspire.Create.Challenge are celebrating our out-going In Colours; Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight. I really will miss these colours when they leave us at the end of April. They are so bright and fun. I haven’t used all 5 of them together on a card in ages, but I actually have 2 cards with this colour combination to share with you this week. Check my Instagram later in the week for my second card!

I love to layer colour, actually I just LOVE colour (and layering!) and so the natural choice was for me to reach for the Hello Beautiful Stamp Set to create a fun layered stamped card today. This stamp set is so cool, with lots of little pieces to add texture and interest, as well as those big smudge style stamps.

To create this card you will need:

Blessings of Home Team Swap Card

Hello. Welcome to StampinByHannah today. I have a fun little video for you today… sort of a part 1 of 2. The team have recently done a card swap, and today I thought I would share the card I made with you. In fact, I made all 6 cards on video. Then, tomorrow, I will share the cards I received back! Seriously, I have some seriously talented friends! I cannot wait for you to see.

My absolute favourite product at the moment is the Hive 3D embossing folder, and so I couldn’t not use it on this card!

Rainbow Tropical Layers | Thank You Card

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today. Today’s card is for the Kylie Bertucci International Blog Highlight. I am LOVING taking part in this again… it really has been to long since I joined in with an event like this on the regular. But, I have managed 3 months in a row.! Anyway, this card using the Tropical Layers dies from the Artfully Composed suite in the January-June catalogue. I absolutely LOVE these dies… and I couldn’t resist a rainbow of cardstock.

I’ve kept things pretty simple this month. Just a collection of card stocks, all from the Brights collection, and a sentiment from Sentimental Swirls.

If you like this card, please consider voting for me on Kylie’s blog. Thank you

Sentimental Swirls | Pootlers Blog Hop!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today. This is the 3rd blog hop with the Pootler’s so far this year, but really I think this is the most special. Over a year ago, Sam Hammond Donald hit the massive career milestone of selling $1Million worth of Stampin’ Up! products, and so got to help design a stamp set. This stamp set launched in January, and today’s hop is dedicated to showcasing this one fabulous stamp set. Check out everyone else’s ideas using the links at the end of this post.

Hello Sentimental Swirls from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

One of the things that I think is really cool about this stamp set is that it coordinates with two fabulous punches; Flowers and Leaves, and the Strawberry Builder. PLUS, it is perfect for two-step stamping (one of my favourite techniques!) for quick colouring.

For this card, I coloured the flowers using Stampin’ Blends, in Misty Moonlight and So Saffron.
