Inspire.Create.Challenge #109 | Hand-Penned Petals

Hello there! Welcome to StampinByHannah today! I have a fun card for you this Sunday, for the Inspire.Create.Challenges Design Team. This challenge is using an inspiration piece (which you can find over on the Inspire.Create blog), and I’ve changed it up by using different Designer Series Paper, and different layered elements.

I absolutely adore this Product Suite; Hand-Penned, for this Designer Series Paper and the super pretty Stamp set. I am lover of watercolour and so I stamped this image on watercolour paper and then watercoloured it before using the coordinating dies to cut it out.

To create this card you will need:

Quick and fun card using Flowering Rain Boots

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today, I’m trying really hard to get back into the swing of regular videos on a Friday. I managed to film 2 videos last weekend, so you have at least another video next week! Anyway, today’s card is a cute card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set from the January-June Mini Catalogue.

I had to have this stamp set with the Wellie boots on, just because Niamh (who is 2 and a half) absolutely LOVES a Wellington boot. But I have used this set more than I expected, AND this card doesn’t have a boot in sight!

You Made Me Happy card using Sunshine and Rainbows Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! Saleabration with StampinByHannah

This card is super simple to put together. The trickiest bit was making sure that the sentiment was perfectly straight on the card (not something I usually worry about!). However, this is super easy with the Stamparatus. I will admit that I don’t reach for this tool all that often, however, since I made this card I’ve reached for it more and more. Its so handy!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #107 | Birthday Rainbow of Happiness

Happy New Year! This week Inspire.Create.Challenge is back with a theme; Birthday. I will admit that this is partly due to the fact that it is my birthday this week, but also January is a great time to make a bunch of birthday cards to last you all year long.

The Stampin’ Up! January-June catalogue arrives on Tuesday, so today is a bit of sneak peak of one of the new stamp and die bundles, paired with one of my favourite Annual Catalogue sets for the sentiment. The Rainbow of Happiness stamp set and die bundle give you a heap of different rainbow sizes and styles, although the one on this card just uses die cuts.

Handmade rainbow birthday card using Rainbow of Happiness from Stampin' Up! with StampinByhannah

The Designer Series Paper in the background of this card is available for FREE from Tuesday as part of Sale-a-bration, and was the inspiration behind the colour combination on this card. But, it did need turning down a bit behind the die cuts so I added a layer of Vellum.

The sentiment is taken from Artistically Inked, stamped in Mango Melody, and die cut using the stitched rectangles dies.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #106 | Colour Challenge with Blessing of Home

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge Colour Challenge is a tricky one; Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake and Early Espresso. I reached for some new products that are coming in January; Blessing of Home and the coordinating Designer Series Paper for this one, mostly because the paper has Cinnamon Cider already in it. This card isn’t my usual style, however I really like the overall effect.

The flower image was stamped in Crumb Cake, and the coloured using the 3 challenge colours and a Blender Pen. Finished with a trio of Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots, and one of the very cute Bumblebee trinkets (both of which are already available)

Hop over to the Inspire.Create blog to see what the rest of the Design Team have created with this unusual Colour Combination!
