StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights Swirly Bird Baby Card…

Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

Oh my! This month’s Blog Highlight was a challenge! I’m just coming onto the phase in my life where everyone is having babies… and so making baby cards isn’t something I’ve done all that much of! I have just bought one of the baby themed stamp sets from the Annual catalogue because one of my best girl friends is due a baby any day…. but neither have arrived yet! So, I had to turn to my existing stamp collection…. and at that point I got stuck!

Pinterest to the rescue… and THIS card from the lovely Pat Tecza… and so this card was born!

I haven’t taken Swirly Bird off the shelf for ages… I’d forgotten how much I love it! The card base has been stamped in Soft Sky ink onto Soft Sky card stock for a fun tone on tone effect. Then there is a hint of something special with a couple of stripes of Washi Tape down the right hand side

The Congratulations is taken from the Home Life bundle. I’ve been using this one a LOT recently, it’s got some really handy sentiments… and don’t get my started on that font!

I completed this card with a fun double bow in Pool Party solid Bakers Twine.

Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday

This week sees the end of my Thoughtful Thursday series (for now!) as I have something super exciting starting next Thursday with some fabulous Stampin’ Friends. Don’t worry I will still be bringing you my monthly One Little Word updates… and I’m going to incorporate some of the content into Mondays and Fridays too!

How to make a bright and fun New Home card with Stampin' Up! Home Life Stamp and Die Bundle

I’ve had a HEAP of friends and family move house recently, and New Home cards have been in high demand. Luckily I have the fabulous Home Life Stamp and Die bundle from Stampin’ Up! to make them really easy. Bundles are a great way to save some £££’s… as you save 10% over buying the stamps and dies separately. I shared another fabulous New Home card a few weeks ago…

The colour inspiration was taken from the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper pack. This pack of paper is a fun selection of Berry Burst, Dapper Denim, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive, and it coordinates with those fun Glitter Enamel Dots too!

Stampin’ Up! is all about the coordinating products… it’s one of the many many reasons why I LOVE it! Stamps that match dies, that coordinate with fun Designer Series Paper, which use colours that we have in inks, and card stock, and ribbons and embellishments. Stampin’ Up! make making coordinated projects super easy!

Saying that… the 2018 Retiring list will be released on Monday, and I am 99% sure that most of the current Designer Series Papers will be on it. So if you like a pack, grab it sooner rather than later!

Bright and fun Congratulations New Home card using Home Life from Stampin' Up!

Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday

Over recent weeks I have had heaps of reasons to send cards to my friends and family, including my younger brother moving house last week. I have a few of this type of card to make over the next few weeks as my brother in law is also due to move very soon too. So, in preparation for them moving, and our house move (yes, it’s still ongoing!) I grabbed the Home Life Stamp Set.

This stamp set is a little awkward, in that it is one of those multi-layer stamp sets. However, Stampin’ Up! have made a handy video to help us… I am really looking forward to receiving my Stamparatus this week to play with this stamp set again!

Now… I post every single card I ever make on this blog. (I do have a stack that I haven’t got to yet, but I always aim to have a supply in back stock, just in case I can’t craft for a few weeks!) and so I wanted to share both the card that I am sending my brother…. and the one that I almost sent! So, I also, almost posted this first card, until I was writing this blog post…

and I watched the video from Stampin’ Up! I really liked this card, but it there was just something not right about it… and I realised that I could use of the mountain of Designer Series Paper that I have accumulated this year….

How to make a fun and fabulous new home card using Home Life from Stampin' Up! So this is the card that I have actually sent to my brother and his partner, Becca, and I used the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper (just like SU did!) to replace that busy stamped background! While I would have happily sent the first card, I am SO much happier with this one!

The Home Life stamp set and coordinating dies can be found in the Annual catalogue, and are available as a cost saving bundle. Did you know that bundled products save you a fabulous 10% compared to buying the items separately? Awesome!

Quick and easy card new home card using Home Life from Stampin' Up!

Of course I did also add a strip of Designer Series paper into the inside of the card too! I hope that they love it as much as I do…. I am hoping for a nice Wedding Stationary order from the happy couple soon….
