Stock Updates, In Colour and Sale-a-bration!

Hey folks!

I have a few update for you today, and a couple of fun projects for you later in the week! This past week I didn’t post either here or over on my Facebook or Instagram pages, this is the first time I have missed a full week in ages, but there are a couple of reasons:

  1. I am 33 weeks pregnant (today!) and this past week I’ve just been exhausted.
  2. Last weekend, James and I took a lovely trip up to Newcastle to see Saturday Night Fever (which was AWESOME!) but it meant that I didn’t get any crafting time, this combined with the fact that I completely forgot about this trip earlier in the month when I was planning means that I had no content last week!
  3. I’m starting to slow down a little in preparation for our little arrival. I have 4 weeks of my day job left, and so that is my current priority, although I am still crafting when I can, and like I said I have 2 fun projects for you later in the week!

So, you can expect to still see inspiration and ideas from me, but not at my usual rate! I’m also a little behind on my Thank You cards and gifts too… but I WILL catch up before baby arrives!

Stock Updates…

I also wanted to let you know about a couple of stock updates.

Sale-a-bration Coordination…

We started the month with some fabulous die sets, a punch and stamp set that coordinate with the current Sale-a-bration offerings. However, they are While Stocks Last and already 2 have completely SOLD OUT! These are the dies that coordinate with the So Hoppy Together and Hello Cupcake stamp sets…

Items still available are…

Spring Summer Catalogue…

Stampin’ Up! have also given up advanced notice that there are a few sets of dies that are unlikely last the full length of the Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer Catalogue. Which means that the following sets are While Stocks Last…

Also, the Bunny Builder Punch is also approaching Sell Out!

In Colours…

This is a bit of an advanced warning, but as we approach the end of the current Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue in May we are also approaching that time of year where we have to say Goodbye to 5 of the In-Colours.

In-Colours are 5 in style colours that are added to the Stampin’ Up! colour palette each year, and last for 2 years. So the colours that are due to retire in May are:

  • Fresh Fig
  • Berry Burst
  • Powder Pink
  • Tranquil Tide
  • Lemon Lime Twist

This means that items using these colours are currently in quite high demand, particularly ink re-fills and card stock. These items usually sell out VERY quickly once the Retiring list is announced, So, if you want any of the items that use these colours grab them sooner rather than later!

Home to Roost | Sale-a-bration

This is another card I should have posted last week… and really its just a sneaky peak of the sort of project you can expect in my Email Newsletters.

I try and send an email out each week, it doesn’t always happen, but the intention is there! And I am trying super hard to get a creative project into every single one… I used to send exclusive video tutorials, but for the time being I’m sticking with PDF downloads while I get to grips with late pregnancy / early motherhood!

Sale-a-bration Update!

Hey folks! Wow.. where did this week go! I should have had this blog post up for you yesterday, however, I felt awful and so didn’t get around to writing it (to be honest I didn’t get very far off my sofa yesterday either!). Never mind, I do feel better today, and so have made it up to my craft room this afternoon for a spot of crafting and blog admin.

Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer Catalogue Team Swaps!

Oh my! I was supposed to get this blog written and up for you last week….better late than never right! Actually, I’m glad I waited because it turned out I had one missing when I shared them with you on a Facebook Live a couple of weeks ago.

I love taking part in card swaps. As a team we tend to have a swap for each new catalogue, and then we also swap at Live events too! Taking part in project swaps are a great way to get heaps of ideas and inspiration, and are a fabulous way of meeting people when we all get together. The next time we all get together as a Team is for OnStage in April, I wasn’t planning on going this time as I’ll be 37 weeks pregnant, but I was convinced by my naughty team leader a few weeks ago… but I wont be swapping (can’t do everything!)

This time we swapped in small groups, so only had to make 5 cards. I made this card using the Needlepoint Nook suite, and shared a video tutorial of it a while ago.

Do you want to see the cards I received?

This card was made by Rebecca Kevan; I just LOVE those fabulous butterflies from Sale-a-bration!
Christine Bettany made this cute Butterfly NoteCard
The ever talented Kaye Mellor sent this one using Memories and More from the Spring Summer catalogue
Tina from Germany made this card, and hand coloured the image using Stampin’ Blends
Sarah Haigh was on a Needlepoint Nook kick like me with this fun card!

You can join in with our next team card swap, and our other fabulous team events… and now is great time to join the team with a fabulous Sale-a-bration Starter Kit!

Just Add Ink 445 | Embossing with Country Floral from Sale-a-bration!

I have been having so much fun taking part in Just Add Ink challenges every weekend. This week I’m a little ahead of my usual schedule as I have been off on Annual Leave this past week and so managed to get my card made on Friday!

This week, Just Add Ink has become Just Add Embossing! I have to admit that for all I often Heat Emboss sentiments, my collection of embossing folders often gets forgotten about! However, one of the new Sale-a-bration items is the most gorgeous Embossing Folder, and I spotted THIS card on Instagram on Thursday that I just HAD to CASE! So, this week’s Just Add Ink challenge was right up my street!

Sale-a-bration Happiness Card using Country Floral Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This embossing folder is one of those thicker ones, so the dimension is just awesome! Here, I’ve pulled one of my favourite colours of all time, Fresh Fig, and embossed it, layered it onto a piece of Whisper White and then added it to a standard sized Gray Granite card front.

Of course, I haven’t just left it there! Because although this embossing folder is beautiful, the card needed a little extra something. So, I pulled out another product I haven’t used in a while (actually so long, I had to hunt my craft room to find it!), Shimmer Paint! To add a hint of shimmer to the embossed panel, I dabbed Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint onto the panel using a rag… but you could use a sponge, brayer, or your fingers!

Simple Embossed card using Country Floral from Sale-a-bration 2019 and Needle and Thread from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Because I really wanted to keep the embossing the main focus of this card, the rest is really quite simple. The sentiment (also embossed as it goes!) is taken from Needle and Thread, and the card is finished with a trio of Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins

March Facebook Live Online Class | Painted Seasons!

Oh I am super excited to share this with you this afternoon! I been toying with the idea of doing some extra classes for a while, and with the Sale-a-bration 2nd Release being so gorgeous I couldn’t resist making a class out of it!

Painted Seasons Class from StampinByHannah to celebrate Sale-a-bration 2019!

This fabulous stamp and Designer Series Paper bundle is FREE with a £90 order, and it has some coordinating framelits coming on the 1st March too!

While I’ve used the stamps, dies and papers in this class, I’ve designed the class so that you could use an alternative bundle and papers instead!

This class will take place in an exclusive Facebook Group, with the Live video taking place on the 16th March at 11AM. During class we will be making 5 fabulous cards, with the opportunity for you to stamp along, ask questions and share your creations!

Painted Seasons Online Card Class Cardstock Pack from StampinByHannah

There are 2 options for this class; either Class ONLY or Class and Cards stock. I’ve chosen NOT to include the stamps for several reasons, 1. I understand that the £90 price point is high, and I want as many of you as possible to join in with this class, 2. I’ve designed the class around sketches, and so you could use any stamps you have to make some stunning cards!

Card stock pack includes 10 pre-cut and scored card bases, along with mats, layers and die cut pieces for the cards in this class, PLUS 5 Whisper White Envelopes. Every pack also includes a fabulous gift from me!

Prices:

Class Only – Access to the Facebook Group, Facebook Live video, and downloads of sketches and card designs using 2 stamp and die bundles – £10

Class and Card stock Pack – Access to the Facebook Group, Facebook Live video, and downloads of sketches and card designs using 2 stamp and die bundles – PLUS card stock to make 10 cards, die cuts and envelopes and Postage – £20

Book you place!

No Fields Found.

Booking closes on 9th March for Card and Card stock option, and the 15th March for Class ONLY.

Payments will be requested via PayPal invoice. This does not require a PayPal account, just a credit or debit card.

Invitations to the Facebook group will be issued once Payment has been received, and not before 1st March.

So Hoppy Together Customer Thank You Cards

Sorry for the slight delay in today’s blog post… I should have written this yesterday, but I had a terrible bout of Pregnancy Fatigue yesterday afternoon and I just needed to sleep! Things are better today though, and have a day in my craft room planned, so I’m getting this written so that I can get to crafting!

Stampin' Up! Customer Thank You cards using So Hoppy Together from Sale-a-bration 2019 with StampinByHannah

I had great fun a few weeks ago at a local craft fair, it was during the snow and so foot fall wasn’t great. But, it’s OK because it gave me time to make my January Customer Thank You cards! These stamped up really quickly, the time was taken hand colouring all those cute frogs with Stampin’ Blends!

So Hoppy Together is one of this year’s Sale-a-bration free items, that you can earn when you spend £45 between now and the end of March.

I stamped the frogs in Gray Granite ink, and then used both Light and Dark Granny Apply Green Blends to colour them. No fancy techniques, just laying the colour on.

So Hoppy Together Thank you cards using Stampin' Blends with StampinByHannah

The Thanks sentiment is from one of my go to Stamp Sets; Thankful Thoughts. Stamped simply in Gray Granite onto an Everyday Label in Very Vanilla

I’ve got another craft fair this coming Saturday at the Durham Tees Hotel on Teesside Airport. Maybe I’ll see you there!

Sale-a-bration | Precious Parcel Card Kit!

There are currently 15 fabulous goodies that you can earn for FREE when you shop during Sale-a-bration just for spending £45. One of these fabulous goodies is the Precious Parcel Card Kit…

Now, I will admit that this kit made Zero sense to me in the catalogue! But I grabbed a pack anyway, because if I couldn’t work it out I’m sure that some of you were struggling with it to!

Stampin' Up! Precious Parcel Card Kit Sale-a-bration freebie

I was pleasantly surprised by this kit. It’s so easy to put together, you will have 8 cute cards in a snap! No stamping required!

What had put me off this kit was that I had managed to miss that these cards are actually proper cards, that fold in the middle and stand up! Which they are… but they are more than that, because they also have an extra space to write in the front too

So, how can you get this kit? Well, it’s available for FREE with a £45 order during Sale-a-bration! That’s it, and its yours for FREE!

There are a few questions I hear regularly about Sale-a-bration;

Do I have to spend £45 just in the Spring Summer catalogue?

Nope… there are lots of ways of spending £45 in my online store. You could have just Spring Summer products, or you might want items from the Annual catalogue, or even £45 of goodies from the clearance rack! All orders of £45 made in my online store get to choose a free Sale-a-bration gift!

There are also a few items that require a £90 spend… these are higher priced items, bigger stamp sets, dies and a fun Stamp and Designer Series paper bundle!

If I choose a Starter Kit do I get to pick Sale-a-bration goodies too?

Unfortunately not. But, you do get much much more that just one free gift! You get a fabulous, ongoing discount, inspiration and friendship… and you get to choose £170 worth of Stampin’ goodies and pay just £99! It’s definitely the best deal!

Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration Precious Parcel Card Kit

When does Sale-a-bration end?

Sale-a-bration ends on 31st March 2019… but be warned that some items might sell out before that date! So, if you LOVE one of the goodies, grab it soon!

What can I have for Free?

Designed to take you through a full 12 months of occasions there are no sentiments, but I’ve paired it with the fun Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set from the Spring Summer catalogue.

This Designer Series Paper is so pretty, it has 4 seasonal prints on one side and 4 generic patterns on the other and all feature a lovely watercolour wash effect too.

This card also features the lovely new Country Floral Embossing Folder (Free with a £45 order during Sale-a-bration). This folder is one of those thicker ones, so if gives you a whole heap of dimension and works so well with a pretty floral like this.

I also mentioned in this week’s Live about some new products coming in March that coordinate with some of the current Sale-a-bration goodies! Coming on 1st March there are 4 sets of dies, a new stamp set, and a punch!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #036 | Lovely Lattice

This week the fabulous Design Team over at Inspire.Create are sharing a whole load of Sale-a-bration inspiration. I’ve been struggling to come up with anything for this one… which is silly because the Sale-a-bration goodies on offer this year are AWESOME! I eventually settled on using the ever so pretty Lovely Lattice stamp set, although did have a disaster with Brusho before this card was born!

Pretty Lovely Lattice card using Sale-a-bration goodies and watercolour pencils from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The Lattice stamp was stamped twice in Versamark onto Crumb Cake cardstock and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss powder. I then coloured 3 of the flowers on one of the images with Watercolour Pencils, and added some green leaves on the other image.

I have to admit that these flowers are not the easiest to fussy cut, however I think it’s worth it for the overall effect.

Let's Celebrate card using Lovely Lattice from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration with StampinByHannah

The card is finished with a sentiment stamped on Vellum and punched using the Classic Label punch, a trio of Glitter Enamel dots and full bow of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.
