Inspire.Create.Challenge #148 | Card idea using Timeless Arrangements from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time Jo has set us a fabulous Colour Combination; Blackberry Bliss, Lost Lagoon and Lemon Lolly, which I have paired with the Timeless Arrangements stamp set and a scrap of Inked Botanicals Designer Series paper.

This bundle landed in my craft room last week, and I have had SO much fun with it. I have a bunch of cards to share with you over on Instagram next week.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #147 | Sketch idea using Nature’s Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time Jo has set us a fabulous sketch, and after freaking out a little over the horizontal lines I was inspired by a card Patty Bennet shared. Patty used a Blending Brush and ripped paper to create a fabulous background, and I took this idea to create the two horizontal lines

The colour combination here is Basic White, Blackberry Bliss and Bubble Bath (would you believe me if I said that I hadn’t clocked that they all start with a B until I wrote this post).

The stamp set at work here is Nature’s Prints, along with the coordinating dies and the Stylish Shapes die set.

Inspire.Create.Challenge 146 | Let’s Go Shopping…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another fabulous Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week we have a fun inspiration piece to work from, and while the original was a Fancy Fold, I’ve converted it into a standard card instead.

The Let’s Go Shopping bundle is one of my current fav’s and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use it again. Here, the background card and Designer Series Paper are in Gray Granite, and so all the elements are stamped in the same colour. The shop front was then coloured using Stampin’ Blends and the card finished with a scattering of sequins.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #145 | Cute Childs Birthday card using Zany Zoo

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time, Jo has challenged us to make a card for a baby or child. Now, I have two very small children (4 and 2) and so this should have been easy… except that I don’t really make cards for my kids, so the only stamp set that I have that is child-like is Zany Zoo.

Kept it fairly simple, kids don’t want the fuss of an overly layered card. However, I have got a video… you can check that out below. Please do pop over to my YouTube though and subscribe as I do post content over there that doesn’t always find its way here!

You can find the shopping list for this project HERE… and while I’m thinking about it, this Designer Series Paper is 15% off until the end of June!

Inspire.Create.Challenge 144 | Colour Combination with In The Moment…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah, This past 2 weeks has been a little crazy, particularly as I have worked 7 out of 8 days in my day job, which has left me with zero opportunity to craft, or even think about crafting. So, this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge was a fabulous way for me to kick start my creative flow again. This week we have a three colour combination; of your favourite colours! Mine are Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve and Pool Party.

My stamp collection is a little depleted at the moment following the end of the last Annual Catalogue, but its given me the chance to use some oldie but goldies! This is In The Moment, and I don’t think I had ever inked this particular stamp before.

Stamped with Memento, and the coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I added some ink splatter to the background with a Stampin’ Blend in Dark Moody Mauve too.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #142 | Artistically Inked

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for challenge number 142 for Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time we have been challenged to create a project inspired by THIS card from Tammy Fite. This time I took the colour combination and floral theme as inspiration and created today’s card.

I haven’t used this stamp set for a while. This is Artistically Inked, I had great fun inking it today. The stamp in the background is stamped in Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink, and then the die from the Artistic dies is layered over the top.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #141 | Fancy Fold Card Idea…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge project AND the first of a two part weekend of posts!

I LOVE a fancy fold, and so when Jo let us know that ‘Fancy Fold’ was the theme for Challenge 141 I was very excited! So much so that this card had a tutorial which I will share here tomorrow, so do hop back and check it out!

This Hexagon Twist Fold card actually has a pocket that would awesome for gift card! I might have to make this one again nearer to Christmas for that.

I’ve used the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper for this card, along with the Something Fancy Stamp Set and a splash of Balmy Blue ink!

Hop over to the Inspire.Create blog for some more Fancy Fold inspiration and come back tomorrow to see how this card is made!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #140 | Love For You

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time out we have a fabulous colour combination of Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody and Polished Pink. Now, I have to admit that these 3 colours are all retiring at the end of this month, and that by the time this post is live, they might have already sold out! However, I couldn’t miss one more play with Bermuda Bay before it moves into my retired drawer.

I made this card for myself. It was mine and my husbands anniversary this week, we’ve been together for 12 years (I know… I don’t feel old enough!)… but James refuses to acknowledge the date as we are now married and that anniversary is in August… But I still like to celebrate, so I made myself a card!

I’ve paired the trio of colours with Crumb Cake, and the Love for You bundle for this special card. The background uses one of the Embossing Folders from the Online Essentials, and I added some Crumb Cake ink with a Blending Brush before I ran the card stock through my Cut’n’Emboss machine.

I will admit that this card took a little while to make, just because there is a LOT of die cutting here, and each of the flowers and leaves is stamped twice. I do love a bit of two-step stamping!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #139 | Sketch Challenge…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week the lovely Jo has set us a sketch… and what a sketch it is! This one had me stumped for a little bit, but I really love the card I created. Hop over to the Inspire.Create blog to see the sketch and find out what the rest of the Design Team have been up to!

I pulled the colour combination out first; Sahara Sand, Parakeet Party and Orchid Oasis, and then created those diagonal lines but masking and then ink blending.

Both the hexagon die cut and the ‘Hello’ are stamped using Hand-Penned Petals for a little detail. I finished this one with some loops of Linen Thread, but you could definately take this idea further.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #138 | Irresistible Blooms card

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge! This time we have a fun inspiration challenge, which I have taken as a sketch idea, and used the brand new Irresistible Blooms stamps and dies… and the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Papers which are beautiful!

The background is a half and half combination of the Designer Series Paper and one of the new Basic 3D Embossing folders (these are stunning… and absolutely worth checking out!)

The flowers are stamped in Petal Pink onto Basic White card stock, and then coloured using Blending Brushes and Daffodil Delight and Petal Pink ink.

Don’t forget to hop over to the Inspire.Create blog to check out the rest of the Design Team creations, and I hope to see you again soon
