Come Sail Away Anniversary Card…. and a make from James!

Hey folks!

Well, I’ve had a super busy few weeks settling back into my full time day job. But, as part of that I’m trying hard to get back into some creative me time, and that includes a spot of blogging.

It was our wedding anniversary back in August (yes, this card has been sat around waiting for me to write about it for a while!) and of course I HAD to make James a special card. He always steals some time in my craft room for our anniversary or my birthday, and so a bought card just isn’t an option! Saying this, an anniversary card for a guy is NOT the easiest make…. but it is made easier with a more masculine suite of products and so I pulled out Sailing Home.

Anniversary Card using Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The Come Sail Away suite is obviously a bit nautical, which I think often works well for a man’s card, but also has a more masculine colour palette; Balmy Blue, Basic Black, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Soft Suede, and Whisper White.

I have also added Pretty Peacock to this, because I just cannot put this colour away at the moment, I just love it! (so much so I’ve just painted a wall in my kitchen a very similar shade!). The sentiment and compass are both stamped in Pretty Peacock, while I also added a watercolour wash to a square of Watercolour Paper too!

The Sailing Home stamp set that coordinates with this fab suite also has a set of matching dies. So, I also added some die cut pieces of rope and a ships wheel, along with die cutting some of the stamped images from the stamp set. I adore this layered look, how about you?

James’ Card…

Like I said earlier, James also makes me a card for our anniversary. I think he’s done a pretty good job this time!

He’s punched the butterflies from card stock using the Butterfly Duet punch and added the sentiment using the Well Said stamp set…. all in shades of purple (my favourite!)

Ripped Designer Series Paper and Sailing Home

Hey folks! I’ve been trying to make a conscious effort to use more Designer Series Paper on my cards recently, partly because I am LOVING the new patterns in this years Annual catalogue, and partly because when I cleared out the retired ones from last year I found a stack 2″ deep and 2 packs completely un-opened!

Ripped Designer Series Paper with Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I’ve made cards using stripes of Designer Series Paper before, but I wanted to change it up a bit for this one. So, I cut 4 cm stripes of paper from a few different sheets of the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper, and then ripped over 1 cm ish of each piece. Each piece is actually only glued at the top, so you could add more dimension by curling them a little too!

Set sail in the direction of your dreams card using Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The sentiment panel is die cut from the Stitched Shapes dies (I LOVE these!), and then stamped in Balmy Blue and Night of Navy. I actually fussy cut the anchor because I hadn’t got around to buying the dies yet! I have now though, because the Come Sail Away suite is the base for this months Crafty Selection Box. I’ll be sharing the full details of how to sign up on Saturday.

Masculine Encouragement card using Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card would make a perfect masculine encouragement card, but the ripped Designer Series Paper would work on just about any papers and for any occasion. What would you use it for?

Sailing Home Make and Take

Hey folks! I thought I would tie up this week with a cute little Make and Take card that I made (well, I started it…) at a recent Stampin’ Up! OnStage event. I LOVE attending Stampin’ Up! organised events, we always go home with heaps of inspiration, new products and new friends! BUT Stampin’ Up! events are exclusively available to demonstrators… so, you know what you need to do? Join my team and make sure you don’t miss the next one!

Cute Make and Take idea using Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

At Stampin’ Up! events there in always a Make and Take, also we have creative projects at team events too! They provide a fab packet with all the goodies that you need to make the card; the card base, Designer Series paper etc. and then there is a big box on the table with all the stamps, ink, punches, ribbons and bits in. We always have great fun sharing out the box, and playing “who’s got the sentiment stamp” (because the stamps always seem to get lost amongst all the sweeties!)

Inspire.Create.Challenge 048 Sailing Home Birthday

Hey folks! It’s time for another Inspire.Create.Challenge, and this time we have a very handy theme…. Birthdays! We all need birthday cards, and hopefully it’s the card you make/send most often.

Male birthday card using Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I made this card for one of my brother’s-in-law at the end of June using the Sailing Home stamp set and coordinating Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper, and all in Night of Navy and White.

One of my top tips for making male birthday cards is to keep things simple, and will often stick to a couple of colours, or use a lot of white space.

How to make a simple birthday card for a man using the Come Sail Away suite from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

One of the things I really LOVE about Stampin’ Up! is the coordination. You know, that the ink, card stock and Designer Series Paper are all the same colour, the white’s match and the stamps fit perfectly into basic shape dies. There are a few die sets at work here; the Layering Square and Stitched Shapes work together to make lovely layers on your cards, and I LOVE that we now have a heap of word dies to create interesting looking sentiments.

Create a fun Birthday card for that special guy using Come Sail Away from Stampin' Up!

The Birthday is die cut using the Well Written dies. I actually die cut this 3 times from Night of Navy card stock and stacked them to get this fun dimensional effect.

There are more Birthday card’s over on the Inspire.Create.Challenge blog this week, do pop over and check them out, create your own birthday creation and add it to our gallery. We can’t wait to see them!

Inspire.Create.Challenge 045 | Embossing with Sailing Home

Hey Folks, its time for another fun Inspire.Create.Challenge and this time its a fun Embossing Challenge! I adore a good technique, and I think that embossing is one of those that is easy for a new crafter… once you’ve decided what time of embossing you’re going to do of course; Heat embossing or dry embossing with an embossing folder!

I made this card weeks and weeks ago, actually before baby Niamh arrived (when I was trying to be organised!) and so had almost completely forgotten about it! Cue me having a bit of a panic last week when I realised that it was my turn to write the blog post for the Inspire.Create blog, and that I had NO idea what the challenge was!

Male thanks card using Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Sailing Home is one of my new masculine card favourites. It just makes really nice, simple cards. I’m sure I’ll be doing all sorts of techniques and fun things with it over the coming year, but today I thought I would stick to a bit of heat embossing and that lovely anchor image.

Heat Embossed Thank you card using Sailing Home from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Both the anchor and the sentiment are heat embossed in gold, while the rest of the stamping is in Balmy Blue. Keeping things simple with just a hint of background stamping and a bow in the new Night of Navy and Sahara Sand Bakers Twine to finish.

Loving the embossing? Why not pop over to the Inspire.Create blog and check out the other Design Team members creations, and add your own embossed project too!

Colour Combination

Pretty Peacock

Balmy Blue

Gray Granite

I’ve kept this card super simple, partly because the card didn’t need any more embellishments and partly because I had a baby waking from nap time as I rushed to make this one!
