Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop | Amazing You

Sale-a-bration 2018 Congratulations Card using Amazing You and Celebrate You from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop Amazing You

Sale-a-bration Kick off Blog Hop with Janet Wakeland

Tonight I have a special blog post for you… I have joined with a host of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world to Celebrate the start of Sale-a-bration 2018. Sale-a-bration starts tomorrow and I have a special blog post going up first thing in the morning with all the details, but I have a fabulous card to share with you tonight using TWO of the fabulous Sale-a-bration free gifts….

How to make a fun Congratulations card using Sale-a-bration stamp set Amazing You from Stampin' Up!

This card uses the Amazing You Stamp set, and the coordinating Celebrate You Thinlits dies, both of which are FREE during Sale-a-bration. I wanted to keep this card fairly simple and let the sentiment do all the talking. The ‘Amazing’ is die cut from Champagne Foil Sheet, while the rest of the sentiment is stamped and heat embossed in White onto Basic Black card stock

The Designer Series Paper is another brand new product, from this year’s Spring Summer catalogue, and I am totally in LOVE with it. I am such a sucker for Black and White Designer Series Paper anyway, but this pack is gorgeous! Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is part of the Petal Palette Suite… and I have HEAPS of samples to share with you over the next few weeks!

Sale-a-bration 2018 Congratulations Card using Amazing You and Celebrate You from Stampin' Up!

The other cool bit of this card is the Gold Embossed Splatter. I saw this recently on the Stampin’ Up! Instagram page, and I just thought it was such a cool idea. It’s also super easy to do! I splattered a mix of White Craft Ink and Water onto my Whisper White card stock, then sprinkled over some Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder, but Stampin’ Up! suggested a mix of Multipurpose Glue and water.

So fun!

Check out the other Demonstrators taking part in the Sale-a-bration Kick Off Blog Hop, and I hop to see you here again soon!

12 Days of Giftaways (Day 8) | Petal Palette Congratulations

Quick and Easy Congratulations card using Watercolour Pencils and Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah 12 Days of Giftaways (Day 8) Petal Palette Congratulations

Tomorrow is the launch of the brand new Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer Catalogue AND the start of 2018 Sale-a-bration… I am SO excited! My absolute favourite suite in the new catalogue is Petal Palette… this suite is just so pretty, with a beautiful stamp set featuring some lovely sentiments (with a gorgeous font!) and some stunning black and white Designer Series Paper that I cannot wait to let my sponge brayer loose on! Fun Floral Congratulations card using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

That strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper Pack and comes as a black and white sheet. I had heaps of fun colouring it…. I used the Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils to add some messy colour, then used a Blender Pen to spread the colour and even out the tone.  How cool is it that you could made loads of these cards, and each one could be totally different, using different colours and patterns all from the same stack of Designer Series Paper.

The Sentiment is from Petal Palette, as is the flower. Both are die cut using the coordinating Petals and More thinlits dies.

12 Days of Giftaways (Day 7) | Make It Monday with Picture Perfect Birthday

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to use a cardmaking sketch with Picture Perfect Birthday from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah 12 Days of Giftaways (Day 7) Make It Monday with Picture Perfect Birthday

Make It Monday

Hello! Happy New Year!

It is Day 7 of my 12 Days of Giftaways today, you can find all the details at the end of this blog post. However, it is also Monday… which of course means it is time for a Make It Monday video tutorial!

I have a special video for you today… after my blog post last Wednesday for Inspire.Create.Challenges. I had already made two cards with the current sketch challenge, and I shared my tips for using a sketch last week, but I wanted to share my process with you too.

Make It Monday Inspire.Create.Challenges Sketch Challenge using Coffee Cafe from Stampin' Up!

This card was the first card I made with THIS sketch… and although I like it, the card I shared with the Inspire.Create.Challenges Design Team is my favourite of the bunch! This is also the first card I have made with the Coffee Cafe Stamp set and coordinating Coffee Cups framelits.

When I first saw / Designed the sketch I saw Embossing paste in the top horizontal piece. Embossing Paste is a great way of adding that little something extra to your cards, a bit of extra dimension and some texture. I coloured it here using a drop of Crumb Cake reinker, for a tone on tone effect, but you can leave it white for something a little bolder.

Cute Friendship Coffee card using Coffee Cafe from Stampin' Up!

The white splatter on this card was created by mixing a drop of Whisper White Craft Ink Re-inker with water on an Aqua-painter, then banging the painter off a pen to create splatter… I LOVE doing this but it does make a bit of a mess. I made some Christmas tags at the last minute last week and did the same thing… and managed to cover my desk, tool caddy, phone and myself in White splatter!

Ok, so the card I made on the video uses the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set and coordinating Designer Series Paper. This stamp set features in my 2018 Birthday Card Club … Club sign ups are closing really soon (7th January!) so sign up this week to grab your place!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to use a cardmaking sketch with Picture Perfect Birthday from Stampin' Up!

I kept this simpler for this card, letting that Designer Series Paper do all the talking! The Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper features some fabulous photo-real birthday images as well as some really fun generic patterns in fun colour combinations!

12 Days of Giftaways…

We have reached Day 7 of my 12 Days of Giftaways today…I LOVE being able to give you something special when you shop… and I have some special things coming in the new year! So, as my Christmas gift to you I have a special gift for each person who shops over £45 for the next 12 days. Each day has a different gift, and you don’t need to worry about adding the Code Club Code (although please do to receive your January Card Kit!).

The patterns and prints are always gorgeous. But Stampin’ Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Fold Flat Giftbag

Make It Monday

I have a super cute video tutorial for you today! One of my favourite Christmas traditions is planning my gift wrapping, and these would make really sweet gift wrap for a special present.

Make It Monday Fold Flat Giftbag Tutorial using Pick a Pattern Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!These are super quick and simple to make… even the video is only 6 minutes long!

It is always worth remembering that there are two sides to a piece of paper.

Christmas Countdown | Designer Series Paper Crackers…

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown Designer Series Paper Crackers…

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Oh my goodness…. we are at Week 12 of this years Christmas Countdown! We are however, going out with a BANG  (quite literally!)

I do appologise for the late-ness of this week’s Christmas Countdown. I had started to write it on Wednesday, but was called into the day job at very very short notice and didn’t get chance to get my post finished. But, I am up (not very) early this morning and I will Live Blog the rest!

Square Crackes Video Tutorial using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Yes…. we have CRACKERS! These are super quick and simple to make… and they only use a piece of Designer Series Paper that 6 x 5-1/2″ (15 x 13 cm), so you can get 4 out of a single piece of 12 x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper –  6 x 5-1/2″ (15 x 13 cm)

Score on the long side at; 1, 1-1/2, 2, 4, 4-1/2, and 5″ (2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 10.5, 11.5 and 12.5 cm)

Score on the short side at 1-1/4, 2-1/2, 3-3/4 and 5″ (3, 6, 9, and 12 cm)

The trick to make the ends of the crackers is all in the use of the Envelope Punch Board! Check the video for how it works…

Bike Ride with a dog….

Bike Ride guy card using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Bike Ride with a dog….

I have two blog posts for you today… the second is coming to you later tonight, but I made both that card and this one within 10 minutes of each other so I thought I would share them (almost) together!

Cute Dog Card using Bike Ride from Stampin' Up!

This card uses the Bike Ride stamp set and coordinating Build a Bike Framelits. I have had the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper out on my craft desk recently, and I took colour inspiration from the piece I have used here. Tangerine Tango always reminds me of my step-father in law who owns a classic VW campervan in a very similar shade of orange, which also always seems to lead me to Early Espresso.

The Bike Ride Stamp Set also features one of my favourite stamping techniques; 2-step stamping. The bike is made up of a number of stamps; the bike frame, wheels, wheel rims, seat, handles, and peddles. Oh Hello Friend Dog card using Bike Ride from Stampin' Up!

The dog also uses a few stamps to create the multi-coloured image we end up with. How cute is this pup with his orange scarf!

The Bike Ride stamp set doesn’t include any sentiments, so I have pulled this one from Oh So Eclectic. It is stamped in Tempting Turquoise to tie into the Designer Series Paper and the ink Splatter in the background

Simply Sketched Saturday Colour Challenge

Simply Sketched Saturday Colour Challenge Christmas Card using Cheers to the Year from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Simply Sketched Saturday Colour Challenge

Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge

Man, I have missed blog hopping with this group of lovely ladies! This month’s Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge blog hop is bitter sweet, not only is it the last one of 2017, its also the last time we are hopping under this name (although, we will be back in the new year even bigger and better!).

Simply Sketched Saturday Stampin' Up! Blog Hop Christmas Card Challenge

The lovely Dee set this colour challenge, and while I LOVE a good challenge, this scared the pants off me! I mean, seriously, I had a good few weeks of sitting and looking at these two colours before ANYTHING came to mind.

Simply Sketched Saturday Colour Challenge Christmas Card using Cheers to the Year from Stampin' Up!Fresh Fig is one of my favourite Stampin’ Up! colours, and I couldn’t help but make it the main focus of this card. The Designer Series Paper here is Year of Cheer, which comes in white with metallic foiling. While I do LOVE the look if it plain, I have taken a sponge brayer to it here and coloured in in Fresh Fig. This is one of my most used techniques at the moment, colouring Designer Series Paper to create totally custom projects!

The sentiment is stamped in Island Indigo using the Cheers to the Year stamp set, which is then die cut using the Layering Circles framelits.

Simply Sketched Saturday Colour Challenge Christmas Card using Cheers to the Year from Stampin' Up!To pick up on the Gold foiling from the Designer Series Paper I also die cut a scalloped circle from Gold Foil Paper as a matt for the sentiment.

The card is completed with a ribbon bow in Island Indigo Ombre Ribbon.

Inspire.Create.Challenge How to make a Fancy Fold card using Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge #006 Painted Harvest Fancy Fold

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a theme… Now, I don’t really know what I was doing when I set this challenge. I also managed to complete forget about it, so when I was planning on Saturday afternoon and I suddenly realised that I needed to make a Fancy Fold card for this week’s challenge even I panicked! But, I turned to an old friend, and I think it turned out ok!

Inspire.Create.Challenges Theme Challenge Fancy Fold Cards

I do LOVE a good fancy fold. I have a heap of Fancy Fold video tutorials over on my YouTube channel if you want to check it out.

Inspire.Create.Challenge Theme Challenge Fancy Fold Cards Double Diamond Fold using Painted Autumn from Stampin' Up!

This is a Double Diamond fold card. They are super simple to put together…. the trick is all in the scoring! I have made these a couple of times now, and you can find the video tutorial for it HERE. This version uses Crushed Curry card stock for the base, with layers of Early Espresso card stock and Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper.

To create the perfect layers I used the Layering Squares Framelits dies.

Card base – Crushed Curry Card Stock – 4 x 10″ (10 x 25 cm)

Score on the long side at; 2, 4, 6 and 8″ (5, 10, 15 and 20 cm)

Score on the short side at; 2″ (5 cm)

Rotate the card stock back so that the long side is at the top, and then make two marks along the horizontal score line at 3 and 7″ ( 7.5 and 17.5 cm)

Inspire.Create.Challenges Double Diamond Fold Card using Painted Autumn from Stampin' Up!

The biggest issue when it comes to sending Fancy Fold card is of course the envelope! Stampin’ Up! have this covered with the Envelope Punch Board… Fully coordinating, perfectly sized envelopes in flash!

Measurements:

Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper : 7-7/8 x 7-7/8″ (I tend to stick to imperial measurements with the Envelope Punch Board, just feels easier!)

Punch and Score using the Envelope Punch Board at 3-3/8″ and then follow the score lines to punch and score on each side.
