Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | Bright and Beautiful Sketch

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Crafty Challenge Blog Hop this month we have a fun sketch… Which I haven’t added a version of here, just because my card is basically the sketch!

I really love this colour combination (and the Bright and Beautiful Suite!); Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst and Bubble Bath. I did almost add Lemon Lolly in as well, but it just didn’t quite look right. The two panels at the top of the card are both in the pack of Designer Series Paper, while the fringe edging at the bottom is cut using a die.

Have you noticed the card base? I couldn’t make my mind up about whether the background should be Azure Afternoon, or Berry Burst… So I used both!

InspireINK Blog Hop | Memory Keeping with Share a Milkshake…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to the InspireINK blog hop for August. I am SO excited to see what the ladies have created for this months ‘Memories’ Challenge! I have No Idea what I was thinking when I set this as a challenge back in December… but here we are and I have done some old school memory keeping!

So, I couldn’t find any White 12×12″ cardstock (Stampin’ Up! or otherwise) in my stash, so I’ve gone with a piece of A4 Basic White instead. But this does mean I can pop it into a frame that I have floating around in my office.

I’ve used a few different products on this one, but it needed a few different bits. The Designer Series paper is from Les Shoppes and was the prefect option for a photo of my daughter eating an ice cream. I haven’t journalled on the page, and I feel like a probably should… but this photo is from our first mummy-daughter lunch dates… where aged 3 she ate a full 3 courses!

The Ice Cream theme needed a themed embellishment and so I whipped out the Share a Milkshake bundle and made this cute ice cream… complete with a few Sweet Sorbet hearts.

I almost finished the layout there, but it felt wrong without a proper title, and so I pulled out the Alphabet a la Mode dies and some Night of Navy cardstock to finish it off.

Technique Tuesday | Colouring with Zany Zoo….

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months Technique Tuesday Blog Hop! This month we are Colouring… I absolutely LOVE a bit of colouring in, so relaxing. In actual fact, I coloured this card twice… because the first time I coloured and then die cut and the die slipped, So I coloured it again.

I’ve seen a few people reach for this cute Lama stamp and their Stampin’ Blends recently, and so was totally inspired to have ago. The Lama is Crumb Cake, with the chair in a blend of Daffodil Delight and Wild Wheat, and then the yarn and scarf is Moody Mauve.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #147 | Sketch idea using Nature’s Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time Jo has set us a fabulous sketch, and after freaking out a little over the horizontal lines I was inspired by a card Patty Bennet shared. Patty used a Blending Brush and ripped paper to create a fabulous background, and I took this idea to create the two horizontal lines

The colour combination here is Basic White, Blackberry Bliss and Bubble Bath (would you believe me if I said that I hadn’t clocked that they all start with a B until I wrote this post).

The stamp set at work here is Nature’s Prints, along with the coordinating dies and the Stylish Shapes die set.

Inspire.Create.Challenge 146 | Let’s Go Shopping…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another fabulous Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week we have a fun inspiration piece to work from, and while the original was a Fancy Fold, I’ve converted it into a standard card instead.

The Let’s Go Shopping bundle is one of my current fav’s and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use it again. Here, the background card and Designer Series Paper are in Gray Granite, and so all the elements are stamped in the same colour. The shop front was then coloured using Stampin’ Blends and the card finished with a scattering of sequins.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #145 | Cute Childs Birthday card using Zany Zoo

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time, Jo has challenged us to make a card for a baby or child. Now, I have two very small children (4 and 2) and so this should have been easy… except that I don’t really make cards for my kids, so the only stamp set that I have that is child-like is Zany Zoo.

Kept it fairly simple, kids don’t want the fuss of an overly layered card. However, I have got a video… you can check that out below. Please do pop over to my YouTube though and subscribe as I do post content over there that doesn’t always find its way here!

You can find the shopping list for this project HERE… and while I’m thinking about it, this Designer Series Paper is 15% off until the end of June!
