StampinByHannah Sending Love with Floral Frames from Stampin’ Up!
I have 2 fun floral cards to share with you today, the first one I thought I would CASE myself using the Floral Frames stamp set.
I love this colour combination… you guys know how much of a sucker I am for a good colour combo, and this one I think is really pretty; Coastal Cabana, Tranquil Tide, and Whisper White. And I do love a simple project every now and again… I do have to say the card I will post later on is a little more complex. Do let me know which is your favourite!

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlight Winners Blog Hop Welcome Card
I am so totally honored to be taking part in the International Highlights Winner Blog Hop tonight! I always enjoy taking part in Kylie’s International Highlights…. she comes up with some great themes! You can find the card that got me here HERE! Because the Highlight was Travel themed, the blog hop is the same…. I’m sure you are thinking “but Hannah…. You’ve made a Welcome card”. And Yes, I have…. but it started life as a Welcome Home card…. but then the ‘Home’ didn’t quite fit…. still, I think this card is too good not to share!
The ‘Welcome’ was stamped using the Lined Alphabet Stamp Set, on Vellum using Memento Black Ink and heat set with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Then, coloured using a Light Night of Navy Stampin’ Blend Marker. Using Alcohol Markers on Vellum allows you to create a fun Watercolour Effect super easily, as the Alcohol takes a little longer to dry. If you add extra puddles of Alcohol ink it then dries at different times, creating those pretty harsh lines that give a watercolour effect.
The background was stamped using the Floral Frames stamp set. I just LOVE that pretty frame in the centre. I added some randomly stamped flowers around the outside to create this pretty look.
The card was finished with a length of Blueberry Bushel Grosgrain ribbon and a bow.

StampinByHannah Make It Monday 3 card ideas with Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!
I had a heap of fun yesterday on Facebook Live…. usually I share these videos on my blog immediately after, but with everything going on at the moment (crazy busy in the day job, re-marketing the flat, the heat, and a lack of sleep while James has been on nights). So, I decided to combine this weeks Facebook Live and Make It Monday. I hope you don’t mind?!
I do a Facebook Live usually every other week, but I missed last week, so there will be another one this coming Sunday. So, do pop over and Like my Facebook Page so you can join me Live on Sunday morning at 11AM
Card 1:
This first card uses the fabulous Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. I love that you can make a whole heap of cards with this paper, and each one look different! That’s partly because they are fun painterly patterns, but also that you get 48 sheets of 6 x 6″ paper in the pack…. that’s a whole HEAP of cards! Because I wanted to keep the paper the focus here I’ve kept the rest of the card pretty simple, with a couple of die cuts from the Floral Frames bundle and a Stitched Circle, and a single stamped sentiment. However, you could really dress the card up with extra die cuts, embossing, and more layers!
Card 2:
The second card I shared yesterday was this one, using the Rooted in Nature stamp and die bundle. I can’t decide which version of this card is my favourite… this one or the one I made in the video? What do you think?
Card Measurements:
Card Base; Blackberry Bliss; 29.7 x 10.5 cm, Scored at 14.85 cm
Whisper White layer; 10 x 14.3 cm
Natures Poem Designer Series Paper: 9.5 x 9 cm and a second piece that measures 9.5 x 4.8 cm
Plus scraps of Blackberry Bliss and Whisper White
YouTube Replay…
Card 3:
The 3rd card uses my favourite Designer Series Paper of the moment; Petal Promenade, to make a fun spin on a classic Z fold card. This paper is just so pretty that I can’t help use big pieces of it! It does all the work, and leaves you with a simple task of adding a sentiment. Pretty card – Tick!
Card Measurements:
Card Base; Petal Pink: 21 x 14.85 cm, scored on the long edge at 10.5 and 3 cm
Designer Series Paper: 14.85 x 7.5 cm and 14.85 x 3 cm
Whisper White 14.85 x 7.5 cm, plus a scrap for stamping

StampinByHannah Go For Greece Hello Floral Frames!
I have already shared one card using the Floral Frames bundle today but seeing as I made these two one after the other, it just seemed right to share them together too! How pretty is this stamp set! It might just be one of the prettiest in the catalogue!
I don’t very often combine products. But I have today because, I die cut and layered everything up and then thought the card looked a little plain. I almost always assemble the card before I glue everything down, just to check that I haven’t missed something… so glad I did today because I am running really low on Soft Sea Foam card stock, really need to add that to my next order! So, because I decided the card was a little plain, I added some dry embossing to the background using the Lovely Floral Dynamic Embossing Folder, and then covered most of it with this fabulous frame!
The frame, and the leaves are both designed to be used with the new Stampin’ Up! Big Shot Embossing Mats. I’ve done a couple of videos using these, and I LOVE them!
To get this effect…
Die cut the frame and the leaves using a standard sandwich (Magnetic Platform, Cutting Mat, card stock, die, Cutting mat), making sure to washi-tape the die to the card stock so that the card stock doesn’t fall out before the next step.
Then run the dies back through the big shot, using the thin blue embossing mat (Big Shot platform, Cutting mat, Die, Card stock, Blue embossing mat, white Impressions pad). This then gives a subtle embossing onto die cuts for an extra pretty touch!
To finish the card I added a couple of the flowers from the stamp set in Poppy Parade, and stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler, before popping it all up on lots of dimensionals!
Thanks for joining me today, do check out these other talented ladies on the hop… and I hope to see you again soon

StampinByHannah Fun with Floral Frames from Stampin’ Up!
I have two cards for you today… one now and one a little later for a fun blog hop with the ladies from the Go for Greece group. Both cards however, use the same stamp set! Floral Frames. I was super lucky to receive this stamp and die bundle as a team gift a few weeks ago, and I’ve only just got around to getting it inky! But, it’s so pretty, I know that these wont be the only cards that get made with it!
The Floral Frames stamp set comes as part of a fabulous bundle with the Foliage Frames Framelits (say that 3 times fast!)… bundles are great! Not only can you be completely sure that your stamps and dies work together for coordinated projects and reduce the need for fussy cutting, but also, they save you 10% rather than buying the stamps and dies separately. The stamps also pair beautifully with several of the new packs of Designer Series Paper. Here, I’ve used the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper…. but I think that this would look lovely using the Petal Promenade paper too. Both packs are, of course, currently in the Stampin’ Up! Buy 3 Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper sale too!
The colours here are Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam. The leaf stamp behind the label is so cute, and I have a fun tip for you…
Top Tip…
To ensure I stamped them in the right place, I placed the label where I wanted it and drew around it with a pencil. Then, stamped the leaves, waited for the ink to dry (which really doesn’t take very long) and used a white eraser to remove the pencil marks.
I reached into my Embellishment storage to finish this card, and grabbed a trio of these Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots.
