Masking with Rainbows of Happiness….

Hello! Did you catch my YouTube Live this week? If not, don’t panic the reply is linked later in this blog post. We had heaps of fun this week making a couple of cards using Masking techniques, and the Rainbows of Happiness stamp and die bundle. I absolutely LOVE this stamp and die set, it’s just got very happy vibes!

This card is so bright and happy. I couldn’t not make a rainbow card in rainbow colours; Poppy Parade, Mango melody, Granny Apple Green and Pacific Point. But the part of this card I really love is the background, those dimensional, sparkly, Embossing Paste Rainbows! To create those rainbows, I made a mask by die cutting the rainbow from a piece of Window Sheet, and then added the embossing paste over the top.

The second card in this week’s video, uses masks again, but this time with ink to create a really soft background.

Card ideas using Artfully Layered from Stampin’ Up!

This weeks YouTube Live used the fabulous Artfully Layered suite from the January-June Mini Catalogue. I have been having great fun with these products, and this month’s Card Club uses the same Designer Series Paper.

The first card we made was inspired by this week’s Global Design Project Sketch Challenge. I don’t make many slim line cards, but I thought it was an interesting idea.

Hey There SlimLine card using Artfully Layered from Stampin' Up! by StampinByHannah

This card is 21 x 15.8 cm, scored at 7.4 cm on the short side…. and it fits in the Stampin’ Up! Slimline Envelopes too! The card base is Mint Macaron, and the circle die cut from the Artfully Composed Designer Series Paper.

I tried something with this card I hadn’t done before, and added Adhesive sheet to the back of some Vellum before using the coordinating dies to cut these fun leaves. It works really well… and you cannot tell there is any adhesive there at all. I finished this one with a stamped sentiment a trio of the Faux Sea glass Shapes.

This week’s second card was inspired by a card from one of the Stampin’ Up! Artisans. While she used a slightly different technique, I really liked the general feel of this card, and had to have a go! The leaves were both stamped in Soft Seafoam onto Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper, and then watercoloured with a combination of Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive and Mossy Meadow. I LOVE the final look!

Quick and fun card using Flowering Rain Boots

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today, I’m trying really hard to get back into the swing of regular videos on a Friday. I managed to film 2 videos last weekend, so you have at least another video next week! Anyway, today’s card is a cute card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set from the January-June Mini Catalogue.

I had to have this stamp set with the Wellie boots on, just because Niamh (who is 2 and a half) absolutely LOVES a Wellington boot. But I have used this set more than I expected, AND this card doesn’t have a boot in sight!

To create this card you will need:
