Techniques | How to colour your Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper

How to colour Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Techniques How to colour your Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper

I am completely in love with the Petal Palette Suite in the Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer catalogue. I mean, what is not to love about floral stamps, sentiments in a pretty font and Black and White Designer Series Paper?! Its SO pretty, and I just cannot put it away! I have been using it a lot recently, and I hate to tell you, I’m not sick of it yet and there is more coming next week too…

The star of the show here is definitely the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper. This pack is purely Black and White and features a collection of floral and leafy prints. This makes it the perfect candidate for colouring. I have previously used Watercolour Pencils and a Blender pen, and there are heaps of Blends examples floating around Pinterest, but here I have chosen to use a Sponge Brayer.

Using a Basic Black card base always causes the question; Where do you write? Do you decorate the inside of your cards?

Well, here I have added a piece of Whisper White card stock on the inside, with a spot of stamping using the coordinating Petal Palette Stamp set and a hint of colour added with a sponge.

If you enjoyed today’s techniques video, you might enjoy my Facebook Live Online Card Class next Tuesday. You can find all the information over on my Facebook page, why not give me a Like while you’re there 🙂

Thoughtful Thursday | How to make a Gratitude Journal

Thoughtful Thursday Gratitude Journal using Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper and Lovely Inside & Out from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday How to make a Gratitude Journal

I have been mulling over this series for a while. I started it with a plan, and then I sort of bottled it a bit… but I have decided that it is time to start the series I intended. So, I started 2018 with a plan to use Mindfulness to help conquer my anxiety, and the first few weeks were great… but then I sort of fell of the wagon. So here we are at the 1st of February, and I am starting again (shall we call January a trail run?).

One of my Mindfulness Practices is keeping a Gratitude Journal, which sounds really American and cheesy as a Brit… but it really really helps! When I do this on a regular basis I find that I manage to contain my negative thoughts and replace them with positive self-talk. This is SO powerful and prevents me from spiralling into a vortex of Anxiety and panic attacks about silly things.

I have recently been using the GLAD style of Gratitude; where GLAD stands for Grateful, Learned, Accomplishment and Delight. So each day I write down an event or feeling that matches each one of those prompts.

This journal is super easy to put together; as really its just copy paper and a piece of Designer Series Paper. These would make a really cute gift for a party hostess or a new team member too.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper; Naturally Eclectic – 21.5 x 14.8 cm

5 sheets of copy paper cut in half

Directions:

Fold each half sheet of copy paper in half. I didn’t bother to score first..
Fold the Designer Series Paper in half
Layer each piece of copy paper on top of each other, and then put this pile into the Designer Series Paper cover
I have stapled mine together, but you could sew it (I have one of those long arm staplers for when I’m making wedding stationary… so I put it to use here!)

I added some extra decoration to the front cover with some layers of card stock and stamping using the Lovely Inside & Out stamp set. To keep it coordinated I picked out the colours in the Designer Series Paper; Night of Navy, Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Sky and Tranquil Tide. The stamp set has a collection of mix and match sentiments and I thought this one would be nice for the front of my journal.

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope to see you again soon

Make It Monday | Quick and Easy Men’s Card using Truly Tailored from Stampin’ Up!

How to Make a quick and easy mens card video tutorial using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Quick and Easy Men’s Card using Truly Tailored from Stampin’ Up!

I have a quick and easy card for you today. One of the ways that I maintain my crafty mojo is by CASing (Copy and Selectively Edit!) and today I have CASE’d the Stampin’ Up! catalogue. The catalogue actually used to be called an idea book… and that is exactly how I use it. My catalogue is constantly in use, its always open on either my crafty desk or my office one, looking for ideas.

Ok, so this card uses Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Write Markers to selectively colour the sentiment stamp. I LOVE doing this, and have done it quite a bit recently. There are a couple of things to remember when you’re stamping with Stampin’ Write Markers

Use the side of the brush tip to colour your stamp
Use the lightest colour of marker first, and work to the darkest (particularly if your colouring a stamp where the ink colours will touch) to avoid your dark inks contaminating your lighter markers
Get plenty of ink onto your stamp; colour each part of the image several times, and colour in different directions to prevent a streaky looking stamped image
Stampin’ Write Markers use the same ink as your Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink Pads and are water-based, so the ink WILL dry on your stamp. Re-activate your ink before you stamp by breathing on it.

I love my Stampin’ Write Markers SO much that I have a fabulous Stampin’ Write Marker Club… this club gets your all 38 markers over 4 months and comes complete with a handy case to store them in too! You can find all the information about club HERE!

I have another fabulous video exclusively for my Newsletter Subscribers today… you can subscribe using the Pink bar at the top of the page or the form in sidebar 🙂

Thoughtful Thursday | Sharing Sweet Thoughts

Sharing Sweet thoughts card for Thoughtful Thursday using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday Sharing Sweet Thoughts

I have something a little different for this weeks Thoughtful Thursday… Did you know that Stampin’ Up! raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities every year? They have partnered with Ronald MacDonald House Charities both here in the UK and around the world, and release a fabulous stamp set each year with £2 from each sale going to the charity. Here in the UK that has been taken a step further and over recent months Stampin’ Up! UK have hosted two wonderful sponsored card making event weekends to make cards for families. Ronald MacDonald House Charities UK run 15 houses for families with children in hospital up and down the country, allowing families to stay close to there children.

This year’s stamp set is called Sharing Sweet Thoughts, and is available until June. This fun set coordinates with another set in the Annual catalogue; Jar of Love, as well as the Everyday Jars thinlits dies. Saying that, I haven’t actually used any dies on this card… but that ladybird was too cute not to fussy cut!

If you would like to support the work of Ronald MacDonald House Charities, all you need to do is purchase a copy of this pretty stamp set! While you in my Webstore, I would LOVE you to check out the Sale-a-bration goodies too!

International Blog Highlights | Truly Tailored

Fun card for guys using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights Truly Tailored

It’s that special day of the month again… Kylie’s International Blog Highlight. I LOVE taking part in these events, partly because I get to see heaps of creative ideas from loads of other Demonstrators around the world, but also because Kylie always comes up with a cool theme! This month is no exception, and I am sure that everyone has made some fabulous projects. This month we are sharing our favourite products from the Spring Summer (Occasions if your outside of Europe) catalogue and Sale-a-bration!

I LOVE the Truly Tailored Suite in the Spring Summer Catalogue. Initially I was drawn to the colour combination, although I did spend far longer than I would care to admit trying to see the Crushed Curry on the papers printed in the catalogue!

It is definitely there though, and using a bit of Crushed Curry Bakers Twine on this card has really helped to pull it out of the papers.

I hadn’t really thought about it until I came to right this blog post, but I think my choice of papers is my subconscious speaking to me…. because I really need to hurry up and pick my new glasses! I promise I’ll share a picture of them on my social media when they arrive!

Make It Monday | Body Shop Self Closing Bag Tutorial

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to Make a Self Closing Bag using Stampin' Up! Products

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Body Shop Self Closing Bag Tutorial

It was my Birthday a few weeks ago, and one of my Sister-in-Laws (I am not giving my brother any credit for any presents ever again!) gave me a whole bunch of Body Shop goodies. One of the things she gave me was some gorgeous hand cream, and I just HAD to make a cute bag for it!

This Self Closing bag is really simple to make. However, I did manage to get in wrong the first time… using the wrong blade on my trimmer to trim rather than score my Designer Series Paper! #fail!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper: 6 x 4 1/2″ (15 x 12 cm)

Score on the SHORT side at 2 and 4″ (5 and 10 cm)

Score on the LONG side at 1″ (2.5 cm) on the side that you want to be at the bottom of your bag

Put your Designer Series Paper into your Simple Scored with the SHORT side at the top, and the skinny strip before the score line, at the top… and score at 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 inches (or 4.5 and 9.5 cm)

Aren’t they cute?!

Facebook Live Online Card Class Replay | Beautiful Day

Facebook Live Online Card Class with Brusho and Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Facebook Live Online Card Class Replay Beautiful Day

This past Tuesday was my January Facebook Live Online Card Class. I am LOVING doing Facebook Live, and had a few people join me live this month. I am planning a free class in the first 2 weeks of each month in 2018, and you can find all the upcoming dates on my calendar.

The first card in this months class is a super fun CASe of a card in the Stampin Up! Spring Summer Catalogue. CASE stands for Copy and Selectively Edit and is basically a nice way of saying that I took quite a lot of inspiration from Stampin’ Up! with this one! I am LOVING using Brusho and had a lot of fun colouring this butterfly.

Brusho is great but there is a bit of a learning curve… and I’m still not sure I’m completely satisfied with how I am using it. However, here the water was added first, and then Brusho sprinkled over. I would suggest having both an Aqua-Painted and a Stampin’ Spritzer to hand when using Brusho. You can find my Introduction to Brusho video HERE!

The second card in this class doesn’t use Brusho at all! For all the Beautiful Day stamp set has been designed with Brusho in mind, there are heaps of ways to use it without colouring it! I have already shared THIS card which uses Beautiful Day and Stampin’ Blends.

You can get your complete card kit for this class (excluding the stamps and Brusho) by shopping with me during January. All you need to do to claim your kit is to add the January Code Club Code to your order at checkout.

The 3rd and final card in this months Facebook Live Online Card Class is this one… which I didn’t actually complete during the class! (I mean… who finished all their cards in class right?!).There is also yet another Heat Embossed sentiment BUT I did trim the sentiment down, by chopping off the ‘Always’!

Before I go, I do just want to mention the fabulous Sale-a-bration joining offer… This fabulous offer is more than just £130 worth of Stampin’ Up! products for £99, with 2 extra stamp sets for FREE. Joining Stampin’ Up! is like being part of a special club, filled with crafting inspiration, events, and fun! If you have written your wish list and it comes to more than £90 please do consider grabbing a Starter Kit and becoming a part of my team. For more information check out my Joining Page or FAQ’s!

I do hope that you enjoyed class this month. If you did, please do consider signing up for my Stamp of the Month Club, this month we are playing with the Petal Palette Stamp set.

Birthday Card Week | True Gentleman

Birthday Card Week Quick and Easy Guys Birthday Card using True Gentleman from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Birthday Card Week True Gentleman

Before I get into the blog post for today… I just want to let you know that today is my January Facebook Live Online Card Class! Check out my Facebook page at 2PM!

Last Friday was my birthday… but one day isn’t long enough to celebrate is it?! So, this week I have a WHOLE WEEK of fabulous birthday inspiration for you!

Today’s card is one I made for one of my Father-in-law’s birthday’s before Christmas. As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator I get to pre-order new products the month before catalogue launches, and I took full advantage of that to make this card!

One of the many things that drew me to this particular suite in the new Spring Summer catalogue is the colour combination in this Designer Series Paper; Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Tranquil Tide and Very Vanilla. You guys know how much I love a good colour combination, and I LOVE this one! I have to say though that when I first read ‘Crushed Curry’ in the catalogue, it did think that someone had made a mistake, but no, there is a hint of Yellow in these papers and it really makes thinks Pop!

Carrying on with the hint of Yellow theme, I added my own to this card. I mentioned a few weeks ago that sometimes I want a hint of colour behind a die cut, and that layering another die cut is sometimes too much… well, I pulled out this technique again here. Once I had the circle stamped and die cut, I ran the circle through my Crushed Curry ink pad to add a hint of colour.

Thanks for checking out StampinByHannah today… please consider signing up for my emails for twice weekly inspiration, and I’ll see you again soon!
