Inspire.Create.Challenge #117 | Guys card idea using Beautiful Shapes from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Inspire.Create.Challenge! This week we have a Masculine theme; something I think a lot of use struggle with. When I’m making cards for men, I try to steer clear of florals, ribbon or lots of embellishments, and try to stick to simple stamping. Saying that, this card isn’t all that simple!

I love the Abstract Beauty suite, and the dies are particularly great! These fun nesting hexagons are great for a geo-metric guy card. The base layer has ink blended hexagons; I die cut a sheet of window sheet using 3 of the dies, and use it as a mask.

Then the top layer, I added a few different ink colours onto a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper, and then once it was dry, used the same hexagons to die cut the shapes. This card uses two of the new In colours; Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, along with Pacific Point, Soft Seafoam and Basic Black.

The sentiment is from Artistically Inked and is heat embossed in White onto Basic Black. This card is finished with a trio of Adhesive Backed Hexagons.

Thank you Abstract Beauty using Hello Beautiful from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been playing with the Abstract Beauty suite this past week, while I wait for my Annual Catalogue order to arrive! I absolutely LOVE the Hello Beautiful stamp set, but the Designer Series Paper is gorgeous with all that fabulous gold foiling.

This week’s sketch had me a bit stumped if I’m honest, however I do love this card. I think I might make another version for this week’s YouTube video though… so do watch out for that!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #112 | Farewell 2020-2022 In Colours!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today. This week Inspire.Create.Challenge are celebrating our out-going In Colours; Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight. I really will miss these colours when they leave us at the end of April. They are so bright and fun. I haven’t used all 5 of them together on a card in ages, but I actually have 2 cards with this colour combination to share with you this week. Check my Instagram later in the week for my second card!

I love to layer colour, actually I just LOVE colour (and layering!) and so the natural choice was for me to reach for the Hello Beautiful Stamp Set to create a fun layered stamped card today. This stamp set is so cool, with lots of little pieces to add texture and interest, as well as those big smudge style stamps.

To create this card you will need:
