Make It Monday | Amazing You Sale-a-bration Eclipse Card

How to make a fun eclipse card using Amazing You from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Amazing You Sale-a-bration Eclipse Card

I cannot believe it has taken me quite so long to create an Eclipse card! Pinterest has been full of these for probably about 12 months, and at one point I resisted jumping on the band-wagon… until now! The Celebrate You Thinlits just lend themselves perfectly to this technique, and after I created my husbands Valentines card using it, I just HAD to make another just for you!

I am still loving the Amazing You Stamp Set and Celebrate You thinlits that are available for FREE during Sale-a-bration! That flower is just so pretty, and I am going to be really sad to see it go at the end of the month. However, the Celebrate You thinlits WILL be available in the 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue… but surely its better to get them now for FREE than to pay for them in June?! right!

I think I’ve covered all my top tips for my Eclipse Card in the video…. but if you have any questions to use the comments section below to ask me

Isn’t that colour combination so much fun! I can see this one coming back out again soon… Remember that you can click the colour names above to see all the goodies available from Stampin’ Up! in that particular colour

The second stamp set at work here is Heart Happiness. I just needed something a little extra, and the hearts were just the perfect addition.

Before I go today, I just want to mention about Sale-a-bration! We are in the final 2 weeks of this fabulous offer… and Stampin’ Up! offered even more last week. Sale-a-bration ends on the 31st March, be sure to get your orders in before 10:59PM so you don’t miss out!

Techniques | Rock and Roll Stamping with Heart Happiness from Stampin’ Up!

Cardmaking Techniques Video Tutorial Rock and Roll Stamping with Heart Happiness from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Techniques Rock and Roll Stamping with Heart Happiness from Stampin’ Up!

For our final Valentines card inspiration, I have a really quick and easy, technique for you… one you might well have done before, but may not have played with for a while! I certainly haven’t pulled this one out of my techniques stash for ages. Actually I think the last time I did Rock and Roll stamping was for THIS video!

I also particularly love the colour combination on this card…

What colours are you planning for your Valentines this year?

I have been trying to add Top Tips to these blog posts recently, but I think I probably covered everything in the video this week! It’s such a simple idea… I would suggest inking your stamp with the lighter ink colour first, and then adding the darker colour around the outside… although I do have a way of doing it the other way around (that isn’t going to get dark ink into your light coloured ink pad) that I might film soon!

So, I hope that you have enjoyed visiting my blog this week. Check back tomorrow for a fun blog hop with my team…

Make It Monday | Fun Heart Happiness Card

How to Make a cute card using Heart Happiness from Stampin' Up! with Video Tutorial

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Fun Heart Happiness Card

This week I have a whole week of Love themed projects and a whole heap of Valentines inspiration. Today’s card is one you might recognise from Saturday, but I loved it so much that I just HAD to make a video!

I can’t decide which is my favourite version of this card; the Night of Navy and Gold, or this Fresh Fig and Silver (I am a purple and silver girl at heart!). My favourite part of this card is the Glimmer paper Amazing! I am in LOVE with this die so much… It’s taken from the Celebrate You Thinlits dies, which you can find as part of Sale-a-bration. Have you checked out the Sale-a-bration goodies yet? They are totally awesome! There are two tiers of products this year; Level 1 items can be chosen as your Free gift when you place a £45 order, while Level 2 items (which is what this die is) can be picked as your Free gift when you place a £90 order.

There is a fair bit of Heat Embossing on this card. I will admit I have a bit of a heat embossing addiction at the moment (Did you see my January Facebook Live… ALL the cards had Heat Embossing!). This is one of those WOW techniques for me, I just can’t help be totally memorised by watching a dull looking powder turn into shine-y loveliness! I do have a couple of Heat Embossing top tips:

Use your Embossing Buddy! – This is one of those items that you never buy because pretty stamps take priority right?! but seriously, this thing is amazing… rub it across your card stock before you start, and it stops the powder sticking where it shouldn’t
Take your Embossing Powders out of the tiny pots! – I store my Embossing Powders in larger tubs, it stops me making such a mess!
Get your Heat Tool good and hot before you start trying to melt your powders … it stops your card stock warping quite so much

Ok, so that is my card for today. I have a super cute card for you tomorrow, so please do check back! Oh, and have you signed up for my emails yet…. I have a fabulous card for my subscribers today too!

InspireInk Blog Hop | Sparkly Amazing You…

Fun Heart Happiness Valentines Card for the InspirINK blog hop using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah InspireInk Blog Hop Sparkly Amazing You…

Oh I am so excited about today’s blog post! You might remember last year, I took part in a monthly blog hop called Simply Sketched Saturday? Well, I co-run this monthly event with my lovely friend Sam, and we have changed things up a bit. (Can I just take a moment to look at our awesome new logo… its so damn pretty!)

This month’s theme is Sparkle, Shimmer and Shine… and I CANNOT wait to see what the girls on the team have made! We have 17 InspireINK blogs taking part this month, and you can see them all by clicking the NEXT button at the bottom of this blog post.

Ok, so I have a confession to make about this card… it wasn’t my first creation for today’s blog hop, but I am SO glad that I didn’t settle for the card I had, because I LOVE this one! You can see the first version (very quickly) in my Make It Monday video this Monday, when I might just be making another version of this fabulously sparkly number!

There are two stamp sets at work on this card; Heart Happiness and the lovely Amazing You, as well as the Celebrate You Thinlits which coordinate. The large hearts are simply stamped in Night of Navy while the stamp does all the work to get that multi-tonal effect. The little hearts are then stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder

The sentiment is the star of the show here though, with Amazing die cut from Gold Glimmer Paper (I cannot get enough of Glimmer paper, or this die, at the moment!), and the other words taken from Amazing You heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

I hope that you have enjoyed stopping by StampinByHannah today, and hope to see you here again soon! Please do hop along and see the rest of the InspireINK team…

Inspire.Create.Challenge 009 | Heart Happiness

How to make a fun watercoloured Valentines card using Heart Happiness from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge 009 | Heart Happiness

Oh yes… the next big card making event (other than Birthdays!) is Valentines day and this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenges Love Themed challenge should give you plenty of ideas and inspiration! We would LOVE to see your Love themed creations too… don’t forget to enter the challenge over on the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog!

The Heart Happiness Stamp Set from the new Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer catalogue is full of fun hearts (not a sentiment in sight!) and it coordinates with TWO sets of dies too; Lots to Love Box Framelits and the Sweet and Sassy Framelits. However, I did hand cut the tall skinny heart without much issue.

I actually filmed watercolouring the floral heart, which I will share on my Instagram later on today. I used a combination of Powder Pink, Rose Red and Rich Razzleberry to colour the heart, and lots of layers of colour.

The other heart is stamped in Rich Razzleberry onto Vellum, and I hand cut it as I mentioned.

The sentiment is taken from the Petal Palette stamp set, stamped in Rose Red onto Shimmery White card stock. Before the ink was totally dry I rubbed over it with a dry-ish Aqua-Painter to create this watercolour wash effect. I have been loving using the Everyday Label punch, and I punched out the sentiment but it was a little big. So I trimmed it! I love the look actually.

Thanks for stopping by StampinByHannah today, and I cannot wait to see you Love themed creations over on Inspire.Create.Challenges!
