I am LOVING the Colour Combination for Inspire.Create.Challenges #013….

Inspire.Create.Challenges 013 Colour Challenge

This colour combination was totally inspired by the Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper which is currently available for FREE with a £45 during Sale-a-bration. I know that the Inspire.Create Design Team will have some fabulous projects with it… you can find them HERE!

How to make a bright and fun card using Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper and Lovely Inside and Out from Stampin' Up!

Because the colour combination was inspired by the Designer Series Paper I thought I would use the paper on my card. This is the second time I’ve used this paper this week, you can also find it in this weeks Make It Monday video!

This card also uses the Lovely Inside and Out stamp set. I have been really enjoying some of the pre-printed cards in Stampin’ Up! kits recently, and thought it would be fun to re-create the look with stamps, so the card base is stamped with one of the stamps from Lovely Inside and Out in Bermuda Bay ink for a cool tone on tone effect.

Thoughtful Thursday | How to make a Gratitude Journal

Thoughtful Thursday Gratitude Journal using Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper and Lovely Inside & Out from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday How to make a Gratitude Journal

Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday

I have been mulling over this series for a while. I started it with a plan, and then I sort of bottled it a bit… but I have decided that it is time to start the series I intended. So, I started 2018 with a plan to use Mindfulness to help conquer my anxiety, and the first few weeks were great… but then I sort of fell of the wagon. So here we are at the 1st of February, and I am starting again (shall we call January a trail run?).

How to make a Gratitude Journal using Designer Series Paper with Naturally Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

One of my Mindfulness Practices is keeping a Gratitude Journal, which sounds really American and cheesy as a Brit… but it really really helps! When I do this on a regular basis I find that I manage to contain my negative thoughts and replace them with positive self-talk. This is SO powerful and prevents me from spiralling into a vortex of Anxiety and panic attacks about silly things.

I have recently been using the GLAD style of Gratitude; where GLAD stands for Grateful, Learned, Accomplishment and Delight. So each day I write down an event or feeling that matches each one of those prompts.

Thoughtful Thursday Designer Series Paper Notebook using Naturally Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

This journal is super easy to put together; as really its just copy paper and a piece of Designer Series Paper. These would make a really cute gift for a party hostess or a new team member too.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper; Naturally Eclectic – 21.5 x 14.8 cm

5 sheets of copy paper cut in half

Directions:

  1. Fold each half sheet of copy paper in half. I didn’t bother to score first..
  2. Fold the Designer Series Paper in half
  3. Layer each piece of copy paper on top of each other, and then put this pile into the Designer Series Paper cover
  4. I have stapled mine together, but you could sew it (I have one of those long arm staplers for when I’m making wedding stationary… so I put it to use here!)

How to make a note book using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

I added some extra decoration to the front cover with some layers of card stock and stamping using the Lovely Inside & Out stamp set. To keep it coordinated I picked out the colours in the Designer Series Paper; Night of Navy, Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Sky and Tranquil Tide. The stamp set has a collection of mix and match sentiments and I thought this one would be nice for the front of my journal.

Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope to see you again soon

Simple Sunday | Sending you Hugs

Simple Sunday Just Add Colour Designer Series Paper ombre ink Sending you Hugs card using Stampin' Up! Lovely inside and out

I have a fun, quick and simple card for you today on Simple Sunday… the day of the week I dedicate to easy to create cards using just a few supplies.

Simple Sunday Just Add Colour Designer Series Paper ombre ink Sending you Hugs card using Stampin' Up! Lovely inside and out

I am loving the selection of Designer Series Papers in this years Annual catalogue…. actually I love the ones in the Autumn / Winter catalogue too! But this particular pack has gone un-loved so far. This card uses the Just Add Colour Specialty Designer Series Paper, this paper is slightly thicker than the standard Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper and is only printed on one side. It comes in white, with black print featuring lots of different designs including these fun feathers. I added colour to this Designer Series Paper using a Sponge Brayer. I love my Sponge Brayer, it is a great way to add an ombre effect to your cards. I do of course have some top tips!

  • Roll your brayer lightly over your inkpad, picking up a little ink
  • Starting off your card stock, and at the bottom, run the brayer backwards and forwards across the card. This is a slow build of colour, so go back to the ink pad, pick up more ink and repeat
  • Work the brayer up the card stock, building more ink near the bottom of the card and less as you go further up

The sentiment is take from Lovely Inside & Out, and is heat embossed in Copper… so pretty. The card is finished with a layer of Bermuda Bay card stock to coordinate with the ombre ink! and a Basic Black card base, and a trio of White Perfect Accents…. yes, I know they are not white! I am loving accents, but I don’t always want White…. did you know that you can peal the white paper backing off and adhere them with Fine Tip Glue for Perfect Accents in any colour?! Perfect!

Simply Sketched Saturday | Friend Card

Simply Sketched Saturday Blog Hop Lovely Inside and Out Friend Card using Stampin' Up! products

Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge

Hello! Oh its that time again…. time for a blog hop! I am loving that the past couple of months we have set Colour challenges rather than sketches (although I do LOVE a sketch) I love seeing what the girls do with colours!

No automatic alt text available.

This month Sam has given us Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo and Peekaboo Peach! Once I had got over the neon-ness of the colour combo I set about making this….

Simply Sketched Saturday Blog Hop Lovely Inside and Out Friend Card using Stampin' Up! products

I needed to neutralise those bright colours…. and had just got a pack of the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper. The card base is Crumb Cake, with a layer of Whisper White and then a piece of that stunning Wood paper. The stamp set is Lovely inside and out, I have stamped the images onto vellum and then heat set the ink using a layer of Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The sentiment is stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and die cut using the oval Stitched Shapes framelit.

I hope you like my card today…. don’t forget to subscribe to my email newsletter for regular cards and news from me!
