Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday

Thoughtful Thursday is the day of the week when I share things that I have sent, that have made me happy, or have formed part of my Mindfulness practice this week.

This week’s Thoughtful Thursday project is 3 cute little gifts I took with me to Stampin’ Up! OnStage a fortnight ago. Usually I go all out and make 50+ swaps; a set of similar projects that are swapped with other demonstrators for ideas and inspiration. However, this last few months have been pretty busy, and I just didn’t get chance to make anything (although my friend Angelina from Intatwyne Designs did remind me when I got there that I had made a heap of swaps for April’s event that I hadn’t used…… which I had completely forgotten about and STILL haven’t found!).

Stampin' Up! OnStage Sour Cream Team Gifts handcream Just for you Thoughtful Thursday using Stampin' Up! products

I bought some handcream mini’s for my team leader and 2 of my team mates. I am super privileged to be a part of a wonderfully supportive team, but 2 of the girls are just always there. We cheer each other on, share our bad days, and generally have a right laugh! So, to say thanks for putting up with me…. I wanted to give them a little something.

These were super simple to put together, they are a pretty classic Sour Cream Style pocket. I have made these before, and have a video tutorial on them too!

Sour Cream pockets using Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

The daisy’s on the front of these was made using the fabulous Daisy Punch. They both use two daisy’s one in Whisper White, sponged with Night of Navy ink, and one punched in Night of Navy sponged with White ink.

Each gift had a tag on, using the Everyday Label punch and Merry Little Labels stamp set.

Creativity Combined Blog Hop | Thank You

StampinByHannah Creativity Combined Blog Hop | Thank You

I have something special for you today. Over the past few months I have been working super hard to improve my little corner of the internet, and today I, along with another member of the team, have organised a blog hop to say Thank You to the wonderful Sarah who has helped us all!

I am always after a new technique to try, and when I came across this one on YouTube a few weeks ago I knew it would be perfect for today’s blog post! There will be a video tutorial on this one shortly because I think it is awesome!Thank You Card featuring Die Cut Letterpress technique and Eclectic Layers Thinlits from Stampin' Up!

I have to say this photo doesn’t do this technique justice… as the leaves are embossed into the card. The technique is called Die Cut Letterpress and it is so much fun! The leaves are from the Eclectic Layers Thinlits dies. I die cut them twice out of Thick Whisper White Card stock and once from Vellum. Then layered them together using Tombow glue, the Vellum piece needs to be on the bottom for the inky bit to work.

Then, add ink to the Vellum (I dabbed an ink pad onto the leaves) and run through your Big Shot. The sandwich is important here…. I used the platform I use for embossing folders, then a clear plate, my silicone mat, card stock, Leaves, and the second clear plate. I also found that a couple of sheets of card stock as a shim helped get a good impression, but my Big Shot is on its last legs and the centre of the rollers doesn’t have a lot of pressure.

Creativity Combined Blog Hop Thank You card using Oh So Eclectic and Daisy Delight from Stampin' Up!

The Thank You sentiment is taken from the Daisy Delight Stamp set and is stamped in Berry Burst ink. The card was a little bright at this point and I really wanted to add some Black (I’m on a bit of a Black kick at the moment!). So the black strip is embossed using the Layered Leaves 3D embossing Folder, and the card is finished with a trio of Black Rhinestone jewels and some ink splatter.

Please click on the links below to see the other Thank You cards made by the Creativity Combined Team, and don’t forget to leave them all some comment love!

Embossing Paste meets Daisy

Berry Burst Embossing Paste Kindness card using Daisy Delight and Daisy Punch from Stampin' Up!

I have recently been playing around with making cards with multiple layers and details, and I think that this card fits into that category. I shared this card a few weeks ago on my How to… Use Embossing Paste Video, but I never got around to writing the blog post (bad blogger!) …. but it was far too good not to share!

Berry Burst Embossing Paste Kindness card using Daisy Delight and Daisy Punch from Stampin' Up!

The background of this card uses Stampin’ Up! Embossing Paste and the Pattern Party Decorative Masks. Check the video for how I created this background, I am loving creating textured backgrounds with Embossing Paste. Have you tried it yet?

I have a couple of top tips for using Embossing Paste:

  • Only take out a little paste, this stuff dries QUICK! and ensure that the lid is on firmly when leaving it
  • Play around with the different Palette knives – they each have a different purpose!
  • You can colour your paste with Stampin’ Up! re-inkers…. I have a video for that too!

Bold and Bright Daisy Kindness card using Stampin' Up! products

The main focus of this card is that beautiful Daisy… stamped in Berry Burst and punched out with the Daisy Punch, with a Faceted Gem centre – so pretty.

I originally just had the daisy, the bow and the sentiment, but it just needed more! So I added a Vellum circle using the Stitched Shapes Framelits and an extra double bow in Linen Thread.

Delightful Daisy Birthday Card

Happy Birthday Card using Delightlful Daisy and Happy Birthday Thinlit from Stampin' Up!

I have been feeling really rubbish recently, and have spend a LOT of time scrolling through Pinterest and Instagram in an attempt to stay crafty…. and in the process came across THIS card from Teneale Williams

Happy Birthday Card using Delightlful Daisy and Happy Birthday Thinlit from Stampin' Up!

This stylish card uses the pretty Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper and the Happy Birthday Thinlit die. The card base is Sahara Sand, and I layered the Daisy Paper onto a piece of Whisper White Card stock to add some stability to it as it is popped up on Dimensionals. The Happy Birthday is die cut 3 times, twice in Daffodil Delight and once in Whisper White, all layered together for some more dimension! I loved Teneale’s uses of Vellum, it just adds a special soft something to this card. And the whole thing is finished with a linen thread bow!

Technique Series : Masking with Tape

Techniques Series Video Tutorial Masking Technique using Sticky note tape and Delightful Daisy from Stampin' Up!

Stamping Techniques Series

Hello! oh, I am loving doing Techniques Videos for you again! I have missed doing these, but things have recently changed with my day job (for the better!) leaving me more time to stamp, blog and spend time with you. I cannot wait!

This week I am continuing my Masking series, and this week we are looking at using tape as a mask. Did you see my card yesterday, which used the same technique….

StampinByHannah Technique Series Masking technique using Delightful Daisy from Stampin' Up!

As I discussed last week, I love masking as a technique, I think it’s because I LOVE a good bit of white space. This version of masking is super simple; using a piece of sticky note tape (or low tac masking tape, use what you have on hand!) to cover an area before stamping. Check out the video for all the details…

This card also uses a strip of that beautiful Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper, along with the Daisy Delight stamp set. Now, I have a confession here: this stamp set coordinates (and comes bundled with the pretty Daisy Punch) however, it is currently not available, it’s just so popular Stampin’ Up! can’t keep it in stock! But, I don’t want you to miss this stamp set, yes there is a cost saving bundle, but it only saves you £3.25…. and you NEED the stamp set now! I will of course let you know when the punch is available again.

I hope you are loving this technique’s series as much as I am. I would LOVE to know what Techniques you would like me to explore, let me know in the comments below

Make It Monday | Mini Chocolate Pouches

Pootles Papercraft Team Craft Retreat Swaps using Happy Birthday Gorgeous from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Hello! I am super excited for this week at StampinByHannah…. I have BIG plans for the upcoming month, and we have a couple of totally AWESOME offers from Stampin’ Up! too

Pootles Papercraft Team Craft Retreat Swaps using Happy Birthday Gorgeous from Stampin' Up!

How cute are these?! I made 45 of these for my Stampin’ Sisters that attended our team Craft Retreat last weekend… I hope that they liked them. Actually I know that one of the recipients loved them – I made a few extra for some of the Pootles children, and one of them did a lovely video to say thanks (yes, it made me cry… a lot! but that’s me at the moment, very emotional, I’m putting it down to extreme stress….. hoping that is going to be over really soon…but that’s a completely different story!)

The actual swaps used the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper, but I think I have seen a little TOO MUCH of that paper recently and just couldn’t face making them again! So I have changed things up a bit for the tutorial and have used the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper instead…. Enjoy!

Just a quick video from me on this Monday…. but I have another 2 videos coming to you this week, so I hope that that makes up for it!

I will be sharing more of what we got up to later in the week, along with my little team swap!

I hate showing you things that you can’t get your hands on…. but I have run out of filmed projects! I know, I know, I really need to get back on top of things this week…. Filming days already scheduled for Saturday! I hope that the punch will be back really soon… in the meantime though, the stamp set is available, as is that super pretty Designer Series Paper!
