How to make a quick card with Eclectic Expressions from Stampin’ Up!

Stamp Layering Video Tutorial with Eclectic Expressions from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah How to make a quick card with Eclectic Expressions from Stampin’ Up!

I have a quick and fun video tutorial for you today featuring the GORGEOUS Eclectic Expressions stamp set. I am completely in LOVE with this set… its watercolour effect and its designed for stamp layering… what’s not to love?! But also it’s completely FREE with a £45 order during Sale-a-bration!

This technique is super easy to do. It just takes a little time as each stamp needs to be stamped in a different colour each time… so having your Stampin’ Scrub or a micro-fibre cloth handy is very useful! These stamps layer together to create some really pretty effects, and I know that you could make this card several times over and each time they would look different

I started out making a super bright card, but half way through the video I thought it would also look pretty in neutrals… so I tried that out too… which is your favourite? let me know in the comments below!

Don’t forget that Sale-a-bration ends on the 31st March… so get those orders in ASAP to ensure you get your favourite Sale-a-bration items!

Thoughtful Thursday | Love you Eclipse Card with Heart Happiness

Guys Valentines Day card using Heart Happiness from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday Love you Eclipse Card with Heart Happiness

Ok, so this is one of those times that I am more than a little late… I’m blaming the day job, but really its because my organisation system has gone out of the window, my head has been in the shed, and I quite simply forgot! Today I’m sharing the card I made for Valentines!

I could have course let it go and missed the card off my blog, but it’s so damn pretty that I just HAD to share it with you.

This card was totally inspired by the lovely Dena Rekow over at The Creativity Cave. The hearts are from the Heart Happiness stamp set, after each one was stamped I added a wash of water to create this pretty Faux Watercolour look. The hearts are stamped onto Shimmery White card stock, which is just perfect for watercolour techniques, PLUS it makes your projects sparkle!

Dapper Denim

Lemon Lime Twist

Tranquil Tide

Can you believe that this is also my very first Eclipse card (talk about late to the party!)… This is such a fun technique! It is a fun way of adding a subtle sentiment, by die cutting your word from your stamped piece, and then inserting it back but popped up onto dimensionals! (and what is even better…. that YOU die is FREE during Sale-a-bration! Awesome!)

The rest of the sentiment is stamped with the Labeler Alphabet stamp set, and a hint of splatter added to find the card.

Sale-a-bration Spotlight | Memories and more…

Sweet Soiree Memories and More Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Spotlight Memories and more…

I have been loving doing some memory keeping projects recently. I’ve been working on my One Little Word album, and I have some 12 x 12 traditional scrapbook layouts to share with you soon too. Stampin’ Up!’s memory keeping products are just awesome… the main memory keeping line is Memories and More. It’s a pocket scrapbooking system, and each pack of Memories and More cards comes with a selection of 72 cards in a mixture of 6 x 4″ and 3 x 4″, PLUS stickers and overlays too.

However, Memories and More is about more than just memory keeping… and the Sale-a-bration Memories and More pack (Sweet Soiree) is the perfect way to demonstrate that!

These cards were created for my February customer thank you cards. Each and every person that shops with me puts an enormous smile on my face… I love you all and enjoy sending you all cards and presents (particularly when you use the Code Club Code!)

Shopping during Sale-a-bration gets you even more too… as each time you spend £45 you get to choose a fabulous free item (like these Memories and More cards!)

Sale-a-bration also gives you more Stampin’ Rewards when you spend over £200! Normally a £200 order would give you 10% extra in Stampin’ Rewards, but during Sale-a-bration you get an extra £20 to spend…. that’s at least £40 in free £££ to spend on anything in the Stampin’ Up! catalogue! Awesome!

My favourite Sale-a-bration deal is the joining offer though…. your £99 fully customisable Starter Kit gets you £130 worth of Stampin’ Up! goodies, plus 2 extra Stamp Sets from the Spring Summer or Annual catalogues, PLUS a heap of other great benefits too… you can find all the joining deal information HERE!

Embossed Resist Berry Burst Birthday

Berry Burst Embossed Resist Birthday Card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Embossed Resist Berry Burst Birthday

You guys know how much I love playing with inks… and today’s card features one of my favourite stamping techniques; Embossed Resist!

The Embossed Resist technique is simple to achieve but so much fun, and there are so many different looks you can get that the possibilities are almost endless! So, here the flowers from Beautiful Day were stamped down the left hand side of the piece of Whisper White card stock in Versamark ink, and then heat embossed with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Then Berry Burst ink is added over the top with a sponge… where the heat embossing is resists the ink and therefore remains white while the rest of the card stock becomes coloured.

The rest of the card came together pretty quickly, with the stamped sentiment from the Beautiful Day Stamp Set, Berry Burst Woven Ribbon, and a trio of Petal Passion Embellishments.

Techniques | Double Embossing with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder

How to Video Tutorial Double Embossing with Basket Weave from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Techniques Double Embossing with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder

I gave you a bit of a sneak peak of this card on Wednesday… but I have made another version for todays (special) video!

This card features the Double Embossing technique. I am LOVING this at the moment, I think it really adds a wow to an embossing folder and it works so well with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder that is part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle available for FREE during Sale-a-bration!

Today’s video is special for a few reasons; 1. spot the sneaky first appearance of my new Stamparatus! (there WILL be more of that very soon… I am LOVING it!) 2. I have been playing around with my video editing, and I would love to hear what you think of the new format! Let me know in the comments here or on the video itself on YouTube!

I would suggest a couple of top tips for this one….

Make sure you’re embossing folder is clean before each use… I think that is why there is a LOT more embossing powder on the Night of Navy card than the Early Espresso one, I didn’t remove the first layer of Versamark ink in between cards!
Rub your card stock with your Embossing Buddy before you run it through the embossing folder… stop that powder sticking in places you don’t want it!
Take you time, Versamark is very slow drying, you have plenty of time, don’t rush!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #013 | Sending Hugs with Lovely Inside & Out

Inspire.Create.Challenges 013 Colour Challenge Card using Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge #013 | Sending Hugs with Lovely Inside and Out

I am LOVING the Colour Combination for Inspire.Create.Challenges #013….

This colour combination was totally inspired by the Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper which is currently available for FREE with a £45 during Sale-a-bration. I know that the Inspire.Create Design Team will have some fabulous projects with it… you can find them HERE!

Because the colour combination was inspired by the Designer Series Paper I thought I would use the paper on my card. This is the second time I’ve used this paper this week, you can also find it in this weeks Make It Monday video!

This card also uses the Lovely Inside and Out stamp set. I have been really enjoying some of the pre-printed cards in Stampin’ Up! kits recently, and thought it would be fun to re-create the look with stamps, so the card base is stamped with one of the stamps from Lovely Inside and Out in Bermuda Bay ink for a cool tone on tone effect.

I cannot wait to see you creations with this colour combination! Share you makes with us at Inspire.Create.Challenges!

Sale-a-bration Spotlight | Blossoming Basket!

Watercolour card using Blossoming Basket from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Spotlight | Blossoming Basket!

This week I have 3 fabulous cards using the Blossoming Basket Bundle for you! I am LOVING this stamp and embossing folder bundle, the stamp set is just so pretty, and the embossing folder so versatile that I can see this one being inked for a long time yet!

This first card is super simple, with some fun stamping and a hint of Copper trim. I LOVE this colour combo though…

The second card might be one of my favourite creations recently… I was channelling the fabulous Emma Goddard with this one. I love the colour combo here to actually; Sahara Sand, Inland Indigo and Tranquil Tide!

I added a hint of watercolour to this one, I started with a simple wash of colour over the flowers, and then added darker and darker areas for shadows. I really enjoyed a bit of watercolouring, haven’t done it for ages… this will look fabulous on proper Watercolour Paper and some vibrant colour, except that I’ve run out of Watercolour Paper! I know, I can’t quite believe it either!

The 3rd card is a sneaky peak of the card coming on Friday… So I’m saying nothing more than that!
