Quick and Easy Swap card using Framed Florets from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah on a Wednesday evening… I know, I don’t usually blog at this time. However, I do usually go Live on YouTube but today is my son’s 2nd Birthday and so I have given myself the night off! I am thanking myself a few weeks ago for pre-recording a video of my Swap card from a recent Team event! I can be organised!

I made 6 of these cards, 5 for the swap and one to send a new Team Member. They use the Framed Florets bundle, and the coordinating Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. This paper is absolutely GORGEOUS… but it is while stocks last so I would highly recommend grabbing it sooner rather than later.

I love to send little gifts out to customers, and team members. Now is a great time to think about joining as we start the Pre-Order for the new January-April catalogue tomorrow! You can find more information about becoming a part of the team HERE!

Crafty Challenges | Colour Challenge with Happy Forest Friends

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Crafty Challenge blog hop. This month Stephanie challenged us with a colour combination that I found incredibly challenging! I really don’t know why I found it so hard… other than these being colours I really don’t use all that often, but I did manage to pull something together in the end

I pulled the Happy Forest Friends suite for this one… I think inspired by the greens and brown in the colour combination.

Share it Sunday | More fun with Kindest Gnomes!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Share it Sunday blog hop. I have had parts of this card floating around on my desk for a while. I actually coloured the Gnome and the Toadstool at the last in person team event, which was back in September! Last weekend I co-hosted a virtual team stamping day, and managed to get them onto a card.

As well as the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and Gnome dies, this card uses the Stylish Shapes dies and Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper, with a hint of in blending in the background

InspireINK | Advent with the Kindest Gnomes!

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this weekend for the fabulous InspireINK blog hop. This month we are celebrating all things Advent as we are now firmly in the countdown to Christmas! I have to admit, I was skipping this month, however, I was in Sainbury’s yesterday and spotted the very cute Daily Milk Little Robins… and just had to make cute box to put them in!

This very dinky box is one I have shared before… although it was back in 2017! Gosh, that feels like a very long time ago… before we moved house or had children. It’s super easy to put together, and opens from the bottom so you don’t need to worry about how to keep the top closed.

I’ve gone for a Pool Party box, and used the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper to decorate. Keeping it simple, mostly because its a bit last minute… but also, because this paper is so gorgeous it needed to be centre stage!

Measurements:

Card stock; 17 x 15 cm

Score on the long side at; 4. 8. 12 and 16 cm

Score on the short side at 2, 6, 10 and 13 cm

International Blog Highlight | Thank You Sun Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I haven’t joined in with the Blog Highlight for a little while, and I’ve really missed it! So, here we are, back again with a fun Thank You card I made on Sunday afternoon.

I love the Natures Prints stamp set and the coordinating dies (especially that wreath!) but I really struggle to get it used. So, I turned to a sketch I’ve used fair bit this year, of a layer of card stock and a layer of Designer Series Paper… and then had a play about with where the wreath could/should be…

The Sun Prints suite only has a few colours; Gray Granite, Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Starry Sky. Here I’ve used Gray Granite as the card base, and then stamped in Night of Navy.

Can you see, there are 5 Rhinetones on this card? But they are subtle as I’ve coloured them with a dark Night of Navy Blend pen. I love the effect!

If you love this card as much as I do… please consider voting for it over on Kylie’s blog.

Quick and Easy Christmas Card using Kindest Gnomes from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for a quick and easy Christmas card idea. Sunday night is usually Facebook Live night… but this week I chose to prioritise spending an evening with my husband (it doesn’t happen often) and so I pre-recorded this weeks video instead.

This week I thought we could have a play with the Gnome dies from the Kindest Gnomes bundle. These cute a very cute ‘no stamp required’ Gnome. Here I’ve used Night of Navy and Basic White card stock along with a scrap of the Story Book Gnomes Designer Series Paper.

I just cannot get enough of the Stylish Shapes dies… the stitched edge detail one both the inner and outer edges just makes me happy. These basically have a permanent spot out on my desk… I hardly ever actually put them away, and I feel like I use them on just about every card!

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | Hues of Happiness

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months Crafty Challenge Blog Hop! This months Challenge was a sketch, which I haven’t played with all that much to be honest. I knew I wanted to use Designer Series Paper for the stripes, but then took a little while to pick a suite…. I am so happy that I settled on Hues of Happiness, I LOVE this suite!

Hues of Happiness Thank you card using Stampin' Up! products with StampinByHannah

The stripes of Designer Series Paper are layered onto a panel of Basic White card stock, which I have die cut using the Stylish Shapes dies for that stitched edge and then popped up on a heap of Dimensionals. The layer behind is stamped with the coordinating Happiness Abounds stamp set in Night of Navy Ink.

Global Design Project #366 | Merry Christmas Storybook Gnomes

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today. I have been inspired by the Global Design Project again this week, and created this card on YouTube Live last night. I really love the Storybook Gnome suite from Stampin’ Up! and thought it would be great with the GDP sketch this week.

I pulled a few different sheets of the Designer Series Paper before I settled on this one. The paper in this suite is really stunning, and the fact that lots of it can be die cut with the coordinating dies really makes this paper special.
