Inspire.Create.Challenge #152 | Fun Colour Combination with Timeless Arrangements from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for the next Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time the lovely Jo has set us a colour combination. I have to admit that its not a combination that naturally jumped out at me, however, I really like the final look of this card and I think I could be persuaded to use these colours together again.

At first, I really struggled to think of anything to do with these colours. But the Abundant Beauty Masks were winking at me across my desk, and once I had inked the background the rest of the card came together pretty quickly.

The sentiment / embellishment is from Timeless Arrangement… I’m struggling to put this set away right now! It just makes the perfect grounding spot for sentiments. I felt that it needed a bit of separation from the background though so I added a Stylish Shapes square cut from Vellum behind… and then finished the card with a trio of 2023-2025 In Colour dots (which technically are Wild Wheat rather than Crushed Curry… but I think they still work)

Global Design Project #412 | Crushed Curry Textured Florals….

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah…. I’m not usually this late in the week for my Global Design Project make, but this week I’ve been on night shifts at the day job and so today is the first time I’ve felt somewhere approaching human enough to get into my craft room!

This week the Project is an inspiration piece…. which I have basically used a sketch.

I loved the layering and the white on white die cuts on the original card, and so have used the same here with Textured Floral. The Design Series Paper is Inked Botanicals, and while its not designed to match with Textured Floral, it works well as a pair.

The colour combination here is Crushed Curry, with Basic White, Basic Black and Lost Lagoon. I finished the card, and thought it looked a bit too white, and so added some ink splatter in Lost Lagoon with a Stampin’ Write Marker.

InspireINK | Halloween inspired Birthday Card…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months InspireINK blog hop. This month we have a colour combination;

I’m sure those into Halloween will have heaps of ideas with this combination, but for me its a bit of a struggle. In the end I’ve opted to make a card I have made before… just in a different colour combination.

This is my ‘go-to’ card design for those tricky to make Male birthday cards. Super simple stamping with Rays of Light and a sentiment from Biggest Wish.

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | Autumn with Timeless Arrangements

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop. This month our theme is Autumn… and this card came together colour combination first! Using Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry and Copper Clay.

The stamps and dies here are from Timeless Arrangements. I absolutely adore this bundle, it makes really stunning cards really easy! I did do a bit of tone on tone masking and stamping in the background, but I think its got a bit lost on the Blackberry Bliss card stock… oh well, I’ll just have to make this card again using a different colour combination! What a shame!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #151 | Sketch challenge with A Walk in the Forest…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time we have a fabulous sketch… actually, before I get to the challenge itself, Jo has just done a fabulous re-brand on the Inspire.Create blog. Please hop over and check it out!

I did change the sketch a little bit here… rotated by 90 degrees, and I’ve changed the sizes of the boxes.

The Designer Series Paper at work here is from A Walk in the Forest, which is a set linked to the Stampin’ Up! Make a Difference campaign which gives £2.50 to charity for each pack of paper purchased!

The presents are from the Merriest Trees stamp set, and are so super cute!

Global Design Project 410 | Gift of Giving

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Global Design Project entry! This week its a Sketch Challenge, and rather that using the boxes as suggested, if switched it for some repeat stamping with Gift of Giving instead.

I’m not totally sure I’m sold on this colour combination; Granny Apple Green, Parakeet Party and Poppy Parade… its a bit too Christmas-y for me! However, I do LOVE the repeat stamping on this one.

New Catalogue Blog Hop | Merry and Bright

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for a fun blog hop… all about the new Mini Catalogue!

I have been playing with the Merry and Bright suite, its so bright and fun (and not totally Christmas-y), and this card was the top of the pile, so I thought I’d share it here. Just using a couple of the stamps, and some bright colours for a fun alternative coloured Christmas card.

Bit of a funny story with this card… I currently only have embossing powders in White and Silver, as my delightful son has poured the rest into my carpets! I really need to order some more!

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Simple Stamping with Gift of Giving

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months Technique Tuesday blog hop! This month we are Simple Stamping… which sounds like it would be easy, but I don’t really think I’ve managed it with this card which includes colouring with Watercolour Pencils and Masking! But, I love it… so I’m sharing it regardless!

I’m really enjoying this new stamp set from the September-December Mini Catalogue (out tomorrow!), it great for a bit of colouring but is really lovely just simply stamped too. Here I stamped Santa in Memento Black ink and then coloured him with Watercolour Pencils. I haven’t added any water to this though, because I wanted a sketchy look.

Once he was coloured in I cut a mask from a bit of sticky note (you could use Masking paper… I just use what I had on hand!) by stamping the image again and fussy cutting it. Then used this to cover Santa while I ink blended some Real Red ink into the corner.
