Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Dry Embossing with In the Moment…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. Gosh its been a while since I have managed to take part in one of these… so excited to be back though! This months technique is Dry Embossing… although this card actually features both heat embossing and dry embossing.

I made this card for my sister-in-law’s birthday this week. using the In the Moment stamp set. You can see the heat embossing part of this card over on my Instagram. The background is one of the Online Exclusive embossing folders which for me is an absolute staple.

Inspire.Create.Challenge 155 | A Walk in the Forest

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. I have to admit that this was a bit last minute… a card made yesterday morning! This week’s challenge is a sketch, hop over to the Inspire.Create blog to see it and the other fabulous creations from the Design Team.

There isn’t a lot of stamping on this card. It uses the Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper, and both the tree and the bear are cut from this paper too! The tag is from the Merry and Bright bundle, along with the sentiment.

Inspire.Create.Challenge | Creating with Zany Zoo!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah and this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time out we have a fun inspiration challenge. Check out the Inspire.Create blog to see the inspiration piece (and the fab creations by the rest of the Design Team too!)

I haven’t used Zany Zoo for ages, but Karen’s card used two of the hippo’s from the Designer Series Paper. I have changed it up a bit, and used the cute dancing leopards from the stamp set instead.

Karen’s card was also a Fancy Fold… and while I do LOVE a Fancy Fold, all the measurements were too much for my brain this week. So, I flattened it and created this instead.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Bright and Bold suite (that’s the one with all the Balloons!) but I LOVE this piece of paper!

Global Design Project #416 | Merry Bold and Bright…

Hello! and Welcome to StampinByHannah. I’ve been a bit quiet here on the blog, as after our recent Team event my crafty mojo sort of up-d and left. But, I checked out this week’s Global Design Project on Monday and managed to create not just this card but several others too! Love it when that happens!

I’ve been using the Merry Bold and Bright suite a fair bit recently, after using it to create an inspiration station for our recent team event. You can see how this card came together in this week’s Vlog.

Global Design Project #415 | Patterns with Let’s Go Shopping from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Global Design Project entry. This week the theme is Pattern… and I dived straight into my pile of Designer Series Paper for this one and spotted this lovely pattern in the Let’s Go Shopping suite.

I couldn’t leave it at just one patterned though! The die cut circle is embossed using one of the Basic 3D Embossing Folders. I reached for the coordinating stamp set for the sentiment and this cute pot plant… and finished the card with a trio of Iridescent basic pearls.

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.

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!

Share it Sunday Blog Hop | Timeless Arrangements…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! I LOVE taking part in this blog hop, its always such an eclectic mix of fun ideas and inspiration. You can find the list of everyone taking part at the end of this post.

I have been loving have a play about with the Timeless Arrangements stamp set and matching dies… This card is a CASE of THIS card.

The Designer Series Paper here is from Masterfully Made (and I LOVE it!) in Berry Burst. I added a little hint of some stamping before layering all the die cut pieces. Most of the dies in this set have two sprigs of foliage, but I’ve cut them apart here to make them go a bit further.
