International Blog Highlights | Thank You Amazing Silhouettes

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for Kylies International Blog Highlight. I will get in early and remind you to pop over to Kylie’s blog to vote for your favourite cards this month. My card today was inspired by a card in the new Annual Catalogue (don’t you just love that its an Inspiration book as well as a catalogue?), although I have changed the colour, stamps and Designer Series Paper from the version in the book!

This card actually uses a bunch of left over pieces from my Team Retreat a few weeks ago! The paper (Symbols of Fortune) was part of a Make and Take I didn’t get around to making (no surprises there!), and the Gold Metallic Paper a gift from my team leader.

The Butterfly stamp is taken from Amazing Silhouettes, which is currently bundled with the Amazing Thanks Dies. Top Tip here; make sure you have the Adhesive Sheets for these dies, it makes them SO much easier to layer up.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #116 | Sketch with Abstract Beauty

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for another Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week we have a fabulous sketch for you to create with. Do pop over to the Inspire.Create blog to see the sketch, check out the Design team projects and add your own makes too!

Thank you Abstract Beauty using Hello Beautiful from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been playing with the Abstract Beauty suite this past week, while I wait for my Annual Catalogue order to arrive! I absolutely LOVE the Hello Beautiful stamp set, but the Designer Series Paper is gorgeous with all that fabulous gold foiling.

This week’s sketch had me a bit stumped if I’m honest, however I do love this card. I think I might make another version for this week’s YouTube video though… so do watch out for that!

To create this card you will need:

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!
