InspireINK | Summer with some of the Cutest Cows…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Welcome to StampinByHannah and to this months InspireINK blog hop. This month our theme is Summer, and because I have 2 very small children, our summer has looked like a lot of days out and visits to the farm! So, it just made sense to me to grab the Cutest Cows stamp set, and make a (quick) card.

Does this happen to anyone else? Where you need a card in a hurry, but what comes to you is using Stampin’ Blends and fussy cutting?! Yes, there is a punch for this cute cow, but I don’t have it, and so it was fussy cutting for me.

InspireINK Blog Hop | With Sympathy….

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for the July InspireINK blog hop! I am super excited to be getting stuck into some crafting again after 6 months of very little inspiration (or energy) and then a big craft room move (more of which I will share soon!). This month’s InspireINK blog hop’s theme is Sympathy, which is never the easiest occasion to craft for, and I have to admit to going slightly off-piste with this card. However, I think it would totally work for a sympathetic occasion, or just a ‘thinking of you’ even.

This card uses the Thoughtful Journey Suite, and a piece of the fabulous Basic Beige card stock (seriously, cannot put this away!). The background is embossed using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, which is so pretty, which I then distressed slightly with a nail file.

All the layers on this card are die cut using the Thoughtful Wishes dies, and cut from the Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is also from the coordinating stamp set, and although the words are joined in a line on the stamp, I preferred the stacked look on this one.

Thanks for stopping by StampinByHannah today, please follow the links below to see more fabulous card making inspiration…

InspireINK | June 2024 – Blends and Enduring Beauty

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Well, this is a touch embarrassing! I haven’t blogged for 5 months… but thought today would be a great day to restart! So here we are!

The InspireINK blog hop this month has a theme of “What’s on your desk” and I’ve been fiddling about with Blends a lot recently as I try and revive my crafty mojo which has been slight more than MIA in recent months.

I’ve actually got 2 cards to share over the weekend, both very similar, using the brand new 2024-2026 In Colours (which I LOVE!) as well as the Enduring Beauty stamps and masks, and the Happy Little Things bundle.

This card uses Pretty in Pink and Summer Splash Stampin’ Blends to colour the floral image. The card base and ‘Celebrate’ stamping are both in Petunia Pop.

Right. Ready to see what the rest of the team have on their desks?

InspireINK Blog Hop | Best of 2023…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s InspireINK blog hop. Each month we pick a different theme, but December we have a bit of a review of the year, and share our favourite projects we’ve shared this year… as a sort of Best of 2023 compilation.

I had a really tricky time choosing my favourite project of the year, I have had so much fun crafting this year. One of my most favourite products has been the Timeless Arrangements bundle, and so I thought I’d share a project using it again.

I do love a layered card, and this card has more layers that I can count! There is a video for this card too, which you can find HERE.

InspireINK | Creating your own Designer Series Paper…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s InspireINK blog hop. This month we have a fabulous sketch do check the links of other Design Team members at the end of this blog post.

As usual I altered the sketch… this time by rotating the sketch by 90 degrees.

I have made this card twice… the first version used a scrap from other project which I made at a recent team event.

Both cards use the Textured Floral stamp set, one of my current favourites!

InspireINK | Halloween inspired Birthday Card…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months InspireINK blog hop. This month we have a colour combination;

I’m sure those into Halloween will have heaps of ideas with this combination, but for me its a bit of a struggle. In the end I’ve opted to make a card I have made before… just in a different colour combination.

This is my ‘go-to’ card design for those tricky to make Male birthday cards. Super simple stamping with Rays of Light and a sentiment from Biggest Wish.

InspireINK Blog Hop | Memory Keeping with Share a Milkshake…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to the InspireINK blog hop for August. I am SO excited to see what the ladies have created for this months ‘Memories’ Challenge! I have No Idea what I was thinking when I set this as a challenge back in December… but here we are and I have done some old school memory keeping!

So, I couldn’t find any White 12×12″ cardstock (Stampin’ Up! or otherwise) in my stash, so I’ve gone with a piece of A4 Basic White instead. But this does mean I can pop it into a frame that I have floating around in my office.

I’ve used a few different products on this one, but it needed a few different bits. The Designer Series paper is from Les Shoppes and was the prefect option for a photo of my daughter eating an ice cream. I haven’t journalled on the page, and I feel like a probably should… but this photo is from our first mummy-daughter lunch dates… where aged 3 she ate a full 3 courses!

The Ice Cream theme needed a themed embellishment and so I whipped out the Share a Milkshake bundle and made this cute ice cream… complete with a few Sweet Sorbet hearts.

I almost finished the layout there, but it felt wrong without a proper title, and so I pulled out the Alphabet a la Mode dies and some Night of Navy cardstock to finish it off.

InspireINK Blog Hop | Happy Birthday with Share a Milkshake

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months InspireINK blog hop. This months theme is ‘Birthday’, I cannot wait to see what the rest of the team have created. To find out, you can use the links at the end of this blog post.

I am still loving the Share a Milkshake stamp set, and I just think it’s the perfect stamp set for a birthday card (other than the fact it doesn’t have a ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment!).

This card was inspired by this one that I found on Pinterest. I haven’t used Crumb Cake like this for ages, I do LOVE a Crumb Cake background. The other colours here are Pretty Peacock and Bubble Bath.

InspireINK Blog Hop | A Fancy Floral card using Petal Park from Stampin’ Up!

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another InspireINK challenge! This month we were challenged to make a project with the theme ‘Fancy Floral’… and I have been enjoying the Petal Park bundle SO much that I just had to use it again.

This time I stamped the flowers in Memento and coloured them using Stampin’ Blends in Melon Mambo, Orchid Oasis, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight. I do love stamps that have a coordinating punch for super quick flowers.

The background is the Petal Park leaves stamped in Pool Party, and then I created a frame of Pool Party card stock using the retiring Stitched Rectangle dies (these are a must have and are going nowhere in my craft room!)

Check out the rest of the Fancy Floral ideas using the links below….
