Beautiful You | Wishing You Brighter Days to Come

Watercolour Sympathy Card Thinking of you using Beautiful You from Stampin' Up! UK

One of the things that made me shriek with excitement in the new Spring Summer catalogue is the fabulous Watercolour Pencils! I’m sure you all know by now how much I LOVE to watercolour, actually colouring in in general in my jam, but watercolour is my absolute favourite! The first thing that went into my shopping basket when I put my order in last month was for these great pencils, and I was not disappointed, they are awesome!

The pencils come in a pack of 13 great Stampin’ Up! colours, allowing for full coordination with all the other great products; inks, card stock and embellishments already available. I have everything crossed for some more colours to be added in June for the next Annual catalogue too! They are super easy to colour with, the pretty lady image on this card (from Beautiful You) is coloured with the watercolour pencils, Stampin’ Up! have made a great video to show us how they work…

Once I had coloured the image with my new set of Watercolour Pencils, I needed to find a suitably pretty background, and so grabbed for the Irresistibly Floral Speciality Designer Series Paper and a sponge roller. This paper comes as white sheets, but it has patterns already heat embossed onto it, all you have to do is add an ink colour of your choice and reveal the pattern. This paper works with a heap of colouring techniques, and I am sure I could have Watercoloured it, but the Sponge Rollers had just arrived in my crafty office, and I had to have a go. They are super easy actually, I think they will turn up in a video sooner rather than later!

I finished this card with some matts of Basic Grey and a bow in Bermuda Bay Thick Bakers Twine.

Do you love this card as much as I do? Yes, you should totally check out my Beautiful You Online Card Class! you can find out more about it all HERE!

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!
