Oh Hello Friend….

Oh So Eclectic Online Card Class sample using Stampin' Up! UK products

I have been playing around with the Oh So Eclectic bundle for weeks while I designed the 10 projects for my Oh So Eclectic class…. and I have been sharing a few of the extras around my blog this past week. This particular card is the card that sparked the class in the first place!

Hello Friend Just Because card using Oh So Eclectic and Eclectic Layers from Stampin' Up!

This fun card uses a fun colour combination of Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy and Berry Burst. I would LOVE to see what you create with this colour combo too… you can share it with me on my Facebook Page!

Stampin' Up! Colour Inspiration StampinByHannah

A few weeks ago I filmed a video that demonstrated how to use the fabulous Multipurpose Adhesive sheets… I die cut that gorgeous Berry Burst intricate flower and added it to a piece of Vellum. This piece then sat on my desk for weeks! I wasn’t binning it, too pretty, and I knew it would find its way into a project at some point…. and this was the project. I did cut it again, so that the flower was free and adhered it to the project with a touch of Fine Tip Glue.

Oh So Eclectic Online Card Class sample using Stampin' Up! UK productsThe other flower is unusual too… it uses that Fine Tip Glue Masking technique again! Yes I am obsessed! This flower is also die cut out and added to the card with a dimensional.

The dies in this bundle are fabulous! Not only do some of them cut the stamped images, there are accent pieces too (like that lovely background piece!) and some dies that emboss rather than cut. Plus the die set also coordinates with a second stamp set too (You’re Priceless!)

What is your favourite colour combination to use at the moment? Let me know in the comments below…

Inspire.Create.Challenges #002 | Happy 30th Birthday!

Inspire.create.challenges bold and bright 30th birthday card using Number of years from Stampin' Up!

Hello! It’s time for another Inspire.Create.Challenge! I know, the first one went so quickly…. hope you are going to take part this time around too! Check out the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog for a heap more inspiration with this weeks Sketch Challenge.

Inspire.Create.Challenge 002 Papercraft Sketch challenge

I love a simple sketch… and so designed this sketch to give the Design Team as much freedom as I could without presenting them with a large empty box! At the time of writing this, I haven’t seen what they have made with it, and I cannot wait to see! They are all so talented, and I know that everyone’s creations are going to be so different!

Inspire.create.challenges bold and bright 30th birthday card using Number of years from Stampin' Up!

I really wanted to create something bright! My mum always complains my cards are muted colours… so I might make another version of this one for her birthday coming up! The stamp set at work here is Number of Years, along with the coordinating Large Numbers framelits.

The panel is in Crumb Cake, stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The numbers are the same, but stamped onto Melon Mambo card stock instead.

Inspire.create.challenges bold and bright 30th birthday card using Number of years from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is then stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and heat embossed in clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. This quick and easy technique creates coloured embossing in any colour! There are two ways to do this:

  1. Ink your stamp in Versamark and then the colour… then add your Embossing Powder
  2. Ink you stamp in your coloured ink and then quickly add your Embossing Powder (this works well on Vellum as inks take a while longer to dry rather than card stock!)

Here the sentiment is heat embossed on Vellum, and stapled to a scrap of Whisper White (anyone else LOVE staples, or is it just me?!).

Nautical Guy Greetings Birthday Card

Guy Greetings Birthday Card using Wood Textures from Stampin' Up!

Guy cards are always a bit of a challenge… and they are even worse when you make a card and get told ‘its not manly enough’. I shared the card I originally made on Saturday… but this is the card that was eventually given to one of my Brother’s in law for his birthday last week!

Nautical Male Birthday card using Guy Greetings from Stampin' Up!

This is a bit of a CASE (copy and selectively edit) of THIS card by Teri Pocock. After I was left without a card, I turned to Pinterest for some inspiration and came across Teri’s card. I love the circle element with the anchor… and the wood! So, Teri used the Hardwood background stamp… but somehow that hasn’t found it’s way into my crafty stash, so I went hunting for a wood alternative and remembered about the lovely Wood Textured Designer Series Paper.

This paper stack is one of the 6 x 6″ ones, and you get loads of different wood effects in the pack. I am going to NEED another stack soon I just know it! So pretty!

Guy Greetings Birthday Card using Wood Textures from Stampin' Up!

The anchor is stamped in Dapper Denim on Watercolour paper, and I then took an almost dry Aquapainter and pulled out some of the colour to give this watercoloured effect. I love doing this with Stampin’ Up! inks… because they are water based they react well with water and allow you to stamp and colour without having to get ink everywhere!

The watercolour paper is cut out with a Stitched Circle, and matted onto a coordinating Dapper Denim circle cut with the Layering Circles dies.

Guy Greetings Nautical Birthday card using Stampin' Up! productsSeeing as it was a special occasion I stamped the anchor on the inside… and on the envelope too!

What’s your go to for making Manly guys cards?

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge | Bold Happy Birthday

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Birthday Card using Happy Birthday thinlit from Stampin' Up!

Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge

Hello! Welcome to the Simply Sketched Blog Hop for September! This month we have been creating with a fabulous sketch from Dee 

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Birthday Card using Happy Birthday thinlit from Stampin' Up!

This card was really quick and simple to put together… once I had die cut all the pieces! I am loving the Happy Birthday thinlit for a quick and easy Birthday card at the moment. Here I cut it 4 times… 3 times in Crushed Curry and once from the gorgeous Champagne Foil. The secret is backing each piece of card stock with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet before you die cut it… this way when you die cut this intricate die, each die cut has adhesive already on the back… basically making your own die cut sticker! This die is really easy to get lined up so stacking them is quick and painless too.

Measurements:

Card Base – Dapper Denim – 21 x 14.85 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Whisper White Mat – 10 x 14.3 cm

Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 13.8 cm

Whisper White Mat – 10 x 8 cm

Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 7.5 cm

I made this card for one of my brother-in-law’s birthday’s which was last week…. but James said it was girly…. so I had to make another! So, this card has no home…. if you would like me to send it to you, comment below with your current favourite adhesive and I will do a draw on Wednesday (4th October!)

I’m So Grateful For You!

Fun Watercoloured Thank You card using Fine Tip Glue Technique and Remarkable You from Stampin' Up!

Today’s card features a fun technique that I have been sharing quite a bit recently… masking with Fine-Tip glue. I showcased this one at a recent Team Training event, and so have a fair few cards coming over the coming month or so that all have some masking. I do have a video sharing this technique over on my YouTube channel too…

Fun Watercoloured Thank You card using Fine Tip Glue Technique and Remarkable You from Stampin' Up!

I am in love with Tranquil Tide, and thought it was the perfect colour for this leave-y card. The leaves are taken from Remarkable You, and are stamped in Archival Basic Black onto Watercolour paper. Once the ink was dry, I covered the leaves in Fine-Tip Glue and allowed this to dry overnight.

Thank you card using Remarkably You from Stampin' Up!Then the next day I added a watercolour wash over the top in Tranquil Tide ink. The leaves covered in the glue remain white as the glue acts as a mask.

The sentiment is stamped in the same Tranquil Tide and punched out using the Everyday Label punch.This punch is just awesome, and a great addition to your punch collection. I punched a further label in black to create the layer behind.

Global Design Project #106 – Oh So Eclectic

Global Design Project #106 Sketch Challenge card using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

Its been a while since I took part in a Global Design Project challenge… it’s been just a little busy around here! but as soon as I saw this sketch yesterday I jumped into my craft room and created the card you can see below!

Global Design Project Sketch 106

I love a sketch with a circle… I think its because I love using circles on my cards. I am still obsessed with the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies, seriously if you don’t own these, they are an absolute must have! so handy to have a set of circles, squares and ovals… for such a good price too!

Oh So Eclectic card for the Global Design Project using Stampin' Up! products

This card uses the Oh So Eclectic stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue (have you seen my class using this set yet?) this stamp set is another one of my favourites, along with the coordinating die set and the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper too. It was a pretty simple card to put together, the strip of Designer Series Paper is layered with a die cut in Berry Burst Card stock. This die actually only cuts the inside shapes, but it is really easy to cut around it and make this fun geometric shape

Global Design Project #106 Sketch Challenge card using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

Then there is a piece of Berry Burst ribbon, one of those Stitched Shapes cut from Vellum, two Classic Labels and a bow in that same Berry Burst ribbon to finish.

You can find a video of this card over on my Instagram! Its the first time I’ve done one of these short videos over on Instagram, but it was loads of fun! will certainly have to do it again!

Painted Harvest Rainbows

Rainbow Than You card using Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up!

I have been having heaps of fun recently playing with the Painted Harvest Stamp set! I love this set for classic looking Thank You cards, and it looks gorgeous paired with the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper. However, I got myself stuck in a Yellow rut with the Sunflower stamp one day last week…. and so decided to do a bit of Rainbow stamping to get my back in a colourful mood!

Rainbow Than You card using Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up!

This card uses one of the leaves in the stamp set… which comes as two stamps designed to be stamped one on top of the other for a really dimensional look. I messed around for ages trying to pull out the perfect Rainbow of inks, and settled on; Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Dapper Denim and Rich Razzleberry.

The Thank You stamp is taken from Thankful Thoughts and is stamped in Basic Black ink.

I made a heap of these for some very special people who have helped me recently with my business, and while I am sure that they will see this blog post LONG before I manage to get them posted I hope that they love them when they eventually arrive!

Mr. and Mrs. for Inspire.Create.Challenges #001

Inspire.Create.Challenge Wedding Card Colour Challenge using Year of Cheer from Stampin' Up!

Hello! Oh I am so excited … and a little nervous about today’s project! Today marks the start of something brand new here at StampinByHannah! Today is the launch of the Inspire.Create.Challenge Papercraft challenge blog… of which I am a Design Team Member and challenge coordinator! Every other Wednesday I will be sharing a project based around the challenge here on my blog… but I would LOVE you to join in too! You can find a heap of inspiration and ideas over on the Inspire.Create.Challenge Blog, as well as how to enter!

Inspire Create Challenge Colour Challenge #001

Our first challenge uses our challenge colours! I cannot wait to see what the other ladies have made using this slightly unusual colour combo!

Year of Cheer Wedding Card using Stampin' Up! products

I have used the Cheers to the Year Stamp set here to create a fun, yet simple wedding card. I love that swirly circle stamp… when I saw it in the catalogue it reminded me of THESE cards I made last year with a different stamp set. I have stamped the circles with Calypso Coral ink, and added the heart stamp from the same Cheers to the Year stamp set in Basic Grey.

Inspire.Create.Challenge Wedding Card Colour Challenge using Year of Cheer from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is also from the same stamp set and has been heat embossed in White on a strip of Calypso Coral card stock.

This card is finished with scattering of White Perfect Accents that I have pealed the backing off of because the stamped layer is Shimmery White Card stock and is just slightly off white. However, the camera hasn’t pick up on these particularly well.

Do go over to Inspire.Create.Challenges to see what the other lovely members of the Design Team have created…
