Inspire.Create.Challenge #123 | Hues of Happiness

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for another Inspire.Create. sketch challenge! I LOVE this sketch idea, and the Design Team have made some fabulous projects. Hop over to the Inspire.Create blog, and add your own projects to the link up. We’d love to see them!

This card was inspired by Verity Pursglove, as a Design Team we add our projects to a shared folder and she’d used ink blending on the panel on her card. This inspired me to look at doing something rainbow, which led me to the Hues of Happiness suite and so this card was born!

I’ve stamped onto the Designer Series Paper with Night of Navy ink… I think this really adds something to the paper.

The sentiment is from the Happiness Abounds stamp set and I stamped it twice in Night of Navy to allow me to fussy cut all the parts.

This card is finished with a trio of Pastel Pearls.

You can find the full supply list HERE, along with links to the products in my webstore.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #122 | Happier Than Happy

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this week… You might have noticed that I’ve been a bit quiet recently. I’ve been studying for my Level 5 Leadership and Management qualification for my day job, and last week I finally handed it in. All finished! Such a relief! Of course, we’ve had other drama’s since then that have stopped me getting into my craft room, but I’m hoping that they will all be resolved this week and I can get back to regularly scheduled crafting.

Anyway, that’s enough of my waffle… this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is to make a project inspired by THIS fabulous card by the very lovely Denita Wright-Smee. Usually, I take these inspiration challenges and use them a bit like a sketch, but this time I thought I would use the same suite and use that as my jumping off point.

Happier than Happy Cute childrens birthday card using Happy Forest Friends from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This is the Happy Forest Friends suite, and Happier than Happy Stamp Set, from this years Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. I know that it is designed for children’s cards, but I just think this whole suite is too cute not to share!

The background is a piece of the Designer Series Paper, and I’ve added some stamped and die cut toadstools, the fabulous big brown bear and a bow of linen thread. Simple, and quick, but oh so cute!

Technique Tuesday | Watercolour with Nature’s Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for a fun Blog Hop; a watercolour themed Technique Tuesday, perfect for Watercolour Month! Stampin’ Up! are celebrating all things watercolour this month and there are a heap of videos and project inspiration over on their socials…. time for us to join in and share some watercolour projects too!

Watercolour wash with Nature's Prints from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been dying to try a watercolour wash with this stamp set since it arrived in my craft room, but for some reason I only managed to actually do it yesterday! This is the Nature’s Prints stamp set (and a piece of the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper), which I just love. The big leaf stamp is heat embossed in White onto a piece of Fluid100 Watercolour Paper, and then a wash of Night of Navy over the top. This is pretty strong watercolour, not a lot of water and a couple of drops of Night of Navy straight from a re-inker.

The sentiment is heat embossed in white, from the same stamp set, and this card is finished with a trio of the Classic Matte Dots.

How I start using a Suite | Stampin’ Up! Abigail Rose

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today… usually at this time on a Wednesday evening (19:30 UK time) I am going Live either on YouTube or Facebook. However, this week I am right at the end of a course I’ve been studying for for the past 3 years, and I’m spending all my spare moments getting my portfolio ready for submission. So, rather than do a Live this week, I have a pre-recorded video instead. I will be back next Wednesday, Live on my Facebook page with some fun ideas using some of the Sale-a-bration goodies…. but for now, here is my first look at the Abigail Rose suite…

When I first pull out brand new products, I will quite often turn to the Stampin’ Up! catalogue for inspiration. This card is inspired by one of the cards on the suite page in the catalogue. BUT I have made it my own by changing some of the layers and colours. This isn’t my usual style of card, but I really love it!

Thank You Inspired Thoughts | International Blog Highlight

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for Kylie’s International Blog Highlights. As usual the theme is ‘Thank You’ and there are heaps of demonstrators taking part. Hop over to Kylie’s blog to see them all and vote for your favourites.

Floral Thank you card using Inspired Thoughts and Perfectly Pencilled from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I shared this card on Instagram as a Reel on Saturday, but thought it needed a place on the blog too! It is actually inspired by a card in the new Annual Catalogue, but I’ve altered the colours and background stamping.

The floral panel uses the Perfectly Pencilled Designer Series Paper, which is Black and White, and then I’ve added colour with Stampin’ Blends in Parakeet Party, Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky. The background is stamped using the little round stamp from Hello Beautiful.
