StampinByHannah Repeat Stamping with Half Full

I am LOVING the Half Full stamp set at the moment! My lovely team leader kindly gifted this stamp set to me at team training in November, and while it hadn’t appeared on my Must Have list, I have had heaps of fun making cards with it. (I even made my mother’s birthday card with it a few weeks ago!). I actually made this card at the same Team Training and got lots of ooohs and aahhs after I made it.

Stamping with the Half Full Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

My favourite stamp in the Half Full Stamp Set is this one with the collection of wine glasses. The stamp actually only has 6 wine glasses on it, but I have stamped it repeatedly here to create this fun background. This can look really tricky, but is really simple… I actually free-hand stamped here, but I do have some ways you could ensure perfect placement too

  • Grab your ruler and pencil and draw feint lines across your card stock to use as a guide for stamping. Once you have stamped, give your ink a couple of minutes to ensure it is dry and erase the pencil
  • Use a stamp-a-ma-jig… I LOVE mine and use it all the time to ensure perfectly positioned images
  • Reserve your Stamparatus today…. although it won’t help with your stamp positioning until March 2018, this stamp positioner WILL revolutionise the way you stamp!

Festive Stamping with Half Full from Stampin' Up!

I choose to keep this card simple, and let that background stamping do most of the talking! However, I could not pass the chance to play with some Mini Gold Sequin Trim, or tie a bow in the GORGEOUS Basic Black Shimmery Ribbon!

Half Full Birthday Card

Red Wine Watercolour Birthday card using Half Full from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Half Full Birthday Card

I realised on Sunday morning that I hadn’t made a Birthday card for my mum (her birthday was yesterday!). Does this happen to other people? I make mountains of cards, but actually remembering to make a card for a loved one seems to fall off my radar! But it’s OK, because I realised also that I had a new stamp set in my collection! Half Full is a fabulous wine-theme’d stamp set, designed by Million Dollar seller Linda Bauwin, and gifted to me by my team leader at team training last weekend.

Watercoloured Wine Birthday Card using Half Full from Stampin' Up! by StampinByHannah

The Half Full stamp set can be found in the Autumn Winter catalogue, and comes with a bunch of fun Christmas-y sentiments, but nothing for birthday. So, I grabbed by favourite Happy Birthday stamp from the Butterfly Basics stamp set, and stamped it in Basic Black into Crushed Curry card stock.

My mum LOVES Red Wine… and so I pulled out Cherry Cobbler ink for the wine, and set about watercolouring! I haven’t watercoloured in a while (I know, it’s shocking!)… but this stamp set is just perfect for watercolour, or Stampin’ Blends. I love the watercolour effect here, created using a almost dry Aqua-Painter and several layers of ink…. and I might have had some kitchen roll to blot some of the excess ink off too.
