Happy Birthday with Zany Zoo

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! Today’s card is very special, it was my daughters 4th birthday last week (the last 4 years have gone so super fast… not idea how she is 4 already!), and so I had to make her a birthday card. She LOVES to spend time with me in my craft room, and while she doesn’t join in much, she loves to watch and chat while I craft.

This card was inspired by THIS card from Jaimie Babarczy…. and it does use a couple of retired bits. The cute critter and the Designer Series Paper are both from the Zoo Crew suite, and in fact this little guy isn’t stamped at all, but actually cut from the Designer Series Paper (using a die!) instead.

The large number 4 is sadly a long retired die, but its so perfect for the kids birthdays that it’ll be a feature in my craft room for quite some time yet.

With this card being so special, it also got a stamped inside. I always mean to do this for all my cards, but in reality, it only happens to cards I am actually sending!

And she got a cute envelope too!

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Designer Series Paper

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month our technique is to use Designer Series Paper. I LOVE Designer Series Paper, I know some people struggle to cut their paper, but I really love to use it! Although, I like using little pieces… very much like on today’s card.

This card was inspired by THIS card by Kaylee Den Breejen. Kaylee’s card used coloured Designer Series Paper, but I am really enjoying using black and white at the moment, and the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.

The stamped image here is from the coordinating stamp set, Zany Zoo, coloured using Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends.

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for a fun blog hop; sharing lots of ideas using goodies from the New Annual Catalogue. At the bottom of this post you’ll find a list of other blogs to visit today, please do check them out and leave some comment love on your trip!

This card uses the brand new suite; Zany Zoo! I absolutely LOVE this suite, its cute and funny, and the Designer Series Paper is versatile and adorable! The Designer Series Paper has cute critters on one side, and fun black and white prints on the other. Here I’ve used the black and white pattern, and stamped the sweet little racoon (who is then coloured with Stampin’ Blends)

Global Design Project #388 | Farewell Hues of Happiness…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this evening for a quick card using one of my favourite suites of the Stampin’ Up! 2022 catalogue; Hues of Happiness. I just had to get this one out one last time before it retires at the end of the month. As this post goes live, the Designer Series Paper, Stamps and dies are still in stock, but they are now while stocks last!

This week’s Global Design Project challenge is a CASE the Designer; hop over to their blog to check out the inspiration card.

Instead of using the Designer Series Paper in the background, I’ve ink blended Smokey Slate and Basic Grey. But, I have used the Designer Series Paper for the flower elements… don’t you just love it when the dies cut out the paper! So fun!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #138 | Irresistible Blooms card

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge! This time we have a fun inspiration challenge, which I have taken as a sketch idea, and used the brand new Irresistible Blooms stamps and dies… and the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Papers which are beautiful!

The background is a half and half combination of the Designer Series Paper and one of the new Basic 3D Embossing folders (these are stunning… and absolutely worth checking out!)

The flowers are stamped in Petal Pink onto Basic White card stock, and then coloured using Blending Brushes and Daffodil Delight and Petal Pink ink.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #135 | Love for You

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge sketch. Do hop over to the Inspire.Create blog and see the sketch and the rest of the Design Team’s creations (and add your own projects too!).

I have been loving creating with the Love for You bundle. The flower stamps in this one are really lovely and the words dies are just perfect.

The Designer Series Paper in the background is from Sun Prints, and uses Night of Navy. I do love a Night of Navy moment, here I’ve paired it with Balmy Blue, Soft Succulent and Blushing Bride… oh, and a hint of Gold too!

This card is finished with a trio of the Adhesive-backed Milky Dots.
