Congratulations Card using Floral Phrases

Floral Phrases congratulations card using stamps from Stampin' Up! UK

As you will know if you have shopped with me, I LOVE to send cards to my customers, team members and other crafty friends, I don’t always need a reason, but I will send a card if someone has reached a milestone, or done something awesome. And so this card was one I made for one of the girls in the team a month or so ago for reaching one of her goals!

I have been trying not to stamp the Floral Phrases stamp set in Night of Navy, but its hard to avoid when using it with the coordinating Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper! The Floral image is stamped directly onto the DSP, and then the spatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge is heat embossed in Gold over the top.

I have already shared this card with the team too, we had a great night of crafty chat and card making on Facebook a few weeks ago, and I shared this as my Swap! The person I sent it to had already received it, so I knew it was safe! I’m planning on a few online team nights in the coming months on our Team Facebook Group, and I would love you to join us! You can find out more about joining my team HERE!

Question of the day: What crafty project are you working on this week?

I’m still trying to get a stack of Christmas cards finished ready for James to send to his work and University friends, as well as finishing my projects for my blog up until the end of the year, oh and prepping for my classes and events in the new year too! busy busy!

Gifts of Love | Sympathy Card

Sympathy card watercoloured gifts of love card using Stampin' Up! UK products

A few weeks ago I shared my Quick and Easy Sympathy card that I like to keep on hand, but sometimes you need an extra special card to sent to someone in their worst moments.

The Gifts of love stamp set is just so pretty, and its lovely watercoloured. The sentiment is from the Rose Wonder stamp set, and is stamped in Garden Green and heat embossed in clear. This is one of my favourite ways to use Vellum, because Stampin’ Up! ink drys more slowly on Vellum that it does on card stock you can add clear embossing powder to create coloured heat embossing.

Gifts of Love is one of the current hostess stamp sets; these sets are exclusively available for purchase with your Stampin’ Rewards. Stampin’ Rewards are awarded to party hostesses or individuals posting orders of over £150, and must be redeemed in the order in which they are earned. You can find all the current hostess sets HERE.

The background Designer Series Paper is from the Fancy Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper pack. This paper comes as white sheets, each one with a different texture, I watercoloured it here in Pool Party to match the card base and watercolour around the flowers.

Question of the day: What type of cards do you make most? Me, I make more Thank you cards than any other kinda, although I’m sure that balance has tipped over to Christmas cards at the moment!

Pootlers Design Team | May the Adventures continue

Pootlers Design Team Pootles Papercraft card using Glamper Greetings from Stampin' Up! UK

Wow, What a month it has been, I cant believe my final post for the Pootler’s Design Team has come around already! I have had so much fun working with this stamp set, although this final card was kind of a last minute affair, I had heaps of fun making it!

If you’re a regular here at StampinByHannah, you will know how much I love to watercolour, and usually I make a giant mess, but not this time! One of our team mottos (yes, I think it has reached that stage now, anyone from the team reading this) is “Don’t Put It Down, Put It Away”, and the whole way through making this card all I could hear was Sam saying it! Each part of the card was watercoloured, the ink pad was put away, the aqua-painter was cleaned, and I started a fresh! What a difference, I made several projects this morning, and usually my Crafty Office would look like a bomb had gone off, but not today, it’s still nice and tidy!

Although I do love the Glamper coloured in Bermuda Bay and Delightful Dijon, I do think that the background of this card is my favourite bit. I had sort of overlooked the Fancy Frost Speciality Designer Series Paper, but I received a sample pack a couple of months ago at an event, and totally fell in love with it! At first glance its just white card stock, but on closer inspection it’s actually embossed with some really cool patterns. I have coloured it a shade of Bermuda Bay here using ink and an aqua-painter, it colours wonderfully, but I would say that you do need more water than you would on a flat cardstock to get a smooth watercolour wash effect.

I have a whole week of Glamper cards here on my blog this week, including a great card tomorrow for my Christmas Countdown video series, see you again tomorrow!

Question of the day: What is your favourite Christmas Craft? I love making home decor pieces, and crocheting Christmas presents, oh and making Gingerbread, and Christmas cards, and Scrapbooking the big day afterwards, oh who am I kidding, I love the whole lot!

Pootlers Design Team | Paper Piecing Glamper Greetings

Pootles Design Team Glamper Greetings Paper Piecing Birthday card using Stampin' Up! UK stamps

I am loving using the Glamper Greetings stamp set! I hope you are enjoying the month of Glamper Greetings (seeing as I have a whole weeks worth of projects next week!)

When this stamp set initially landed in my craft room I had heaps of techniques and cool things to do with it, including something I haven’t done for ages … paper piecing. We have so many great Designer Series Paper at the moment, and loads of them would be awesome for this. I chose the Warmth and Cheer Designer Series Paper Stack more because it was already out on my desk that anything else, but I love it!

To create this card I stamped the Glamper on all three sheets of Designer Series Paper, as well as a piece of Shimmery White Card stock, in Archival Basic Black ink. The shape is super easy to fussy cut, and so I cut the parts out of the Designer Series Paper and then re-assembled the paper Glamper on a piece of Whisper White, which I then cut out again.

The background has a simple watercolour wash in Soft Sky and Pear Pizzazz, super simple!

Make It Monday | Chocolate Envelope Swap Project

Make it Monday Video Tutorial featuring Flower Patch from Stampin' Up! UK

Wow, what a weekend! I’ve been in Telford all weekend for Stampin’ Up! On Stage Local – one of the many great things about being a part of Stampin’ Up! is being able to attend the Awesome live events every 6 months, and this past weekend we were treated to a sneaky peak into the next catalogue! oooh, you’re going to LOVE it! Now, as well as seeing the new catalogue, stamping and a LOT of chatting, one of the things we did was swap! This is were everyone makes something, and we swap projects – and there is NEVER a Stampin’ Up! event without swapping! we LOVE it!

How cute are those! Now, I have to admit that my swaps didn’t quite look like this, but I can’t show you those yet because they featured brand new products! Yes, I got an even sneakier peak at new goodies, I was chosen as a Display Board stamper! I found out back in July that I had been chosen to make a heap of samples for the event, and I have had to keep it a secret (which has totally killed me!) but I will show you what I made soon, I promise!

Measurements:

Because of the chocolate I used the measurements are a little funny

Designer Series Paper: 11.3 x 11.3 cm

Punch and Score using the Envelope Punch Board at 5.7 cm (which is also 2 1/4″)

These ones use the Flower Patch stamp set and coordinating Flower Fayre dies, the ones I swapped were just as cute!

Christmas Countdown | Easy Card using Christmas Pines

Easy Christmas Pines Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

My favourite Stamp and die bundle at the moment is Christmas Pines. Did you know that when you buy a bundle, you save 10%? You can find all the current bundles over in my Webstore.

How cute is that Designer Series Paper?! This is Warmth and Cheer; I love this paper stack, for a start it has awesome festive patterns and some really lovely colour combinations, but also it’s 6 x 6″ pad, which makes is awesome for Card making, AND its only £9!

Measurements:

Card Base – Crumb Cake – 21 x 14.8 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Basic Black Layer – 10 x 14.3 cm

Whisper White – 13.8 x 6 cm

Designer Series Paper – 13.8 x 6 cm

My favourite part of this card is that POP of copper! not only the Copper Metallic Thread, but that super shiny pine cone die cut from Copper Foil Paper – so pretty

The die cuts are adhered using Fine-Tip Glue. I have a couple of top tips for using this great adhesive:

Stick with it! At first I wasn’t a fan, but as I have continued to use it, it gets easier – partly because I’ve learned it’s properties and therefore can control it better, but also because the bottle isn’t full anymore, making it easier to use.
Use it one the silicone mat – saves me sticky fingers!
You only need a tiny amount, can you see where it has spread on this card … that’s because I used too much (Ooops!) but I blame the video camera!

Pootles Design Team | Glamper Greetings Christmas Card

Wow, I am so excited to be taking part in the Pootles Design Team this month! Each Thursday in November I will be posting a project using the fabulous Glamper Greetings Stamp Set from the Autumn / Winter catalogue. Each month Pootles aka Sam chooses a few members of her team to work with a selected stamp set, I was SO nervous waiting for my set to arrive, I had no idea what to expect, and so when I opened the envelope and this stamp set fell out I sat and laughed for about 10 minutes, before having a minor panic about what to make!

You may have noticed that this post is a little later than my usual blog posts, and that is because there are 5 of us all posting at the same time, you can check out the other ladies projects (which are totally amazing!) over on Sam’s blog post for today.

Seeing as Glamper Greetings is in our Autumn / Winter catalogue I thought I would make my first card a Christmas one. I love the look of stamp sets that you can layer, but sometimes they are really tricky, not Glamper Greetings! I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get the snow drift lined up on the top of the camper, and those lights strung across. I did stamp and mask the tree before stamping the camper though!

I’m loving some wonky layering at the moment, the layer of Designer Series Paper is from the This Christmas Speciality DSP, and the card is finished with a bow using the Cherry Cobbler ribbon from the Silky Taffeta Combo Pack.

Measurements:

Card Base: Cherry Cobbler: 21 x 14.8 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Designer Series Paper: 8.5 x 12.8 cm

Very Vanilla card stock (for stamping): 7.5 x 11.8 cm
