Freshly Made Sketches #183 – Perfectly Lacy

Hello! Time for something a little different on StampinByHannah. I was recently a Guest Design Team member for a challenge blog (you can find my posts here and there!) and just loved taking part in the challenges – so, I’m going to try to enter a challenge each week.

This week, I’m playing along at Freshly Made Sketches, Challenge #183

FMS 183

I love a simple sketch, probably because I’m a simple card maker, but I think this one has plenty of scope for a more complex card.

I’ve use one of my current favourite background stamping techniques one this one to create this soft, stamped effect. Ink up your background stamp with Sahara Sand (or any other pale colour) and stamp off once. Then lay your card stock onto the stamp, and rub gentle circles in patches across the card stock. Here I’ve used Something Lacy from the Spring/Summer catalogue – isn’t it stunning!

The stamps here at from Your Perfect Day – the most lovely Wedding stamp set! and are stamped in Sahara Sand and Early Espresso. I’ve layered this panel onto the card with some dimensionals, after wrapping a length of Early Espresso Bakers Twine a couple of times around the card and tying a bow (I think it might even be my best bow yet – not bad for someone who is very bow challenged!) .

I’m rather proud of that bow actually!

Blackberry Birthdays

Hello!

I’m so glad you’ve joined me this week on StampinByHannah! I’m starting to mix things up a little around here. I’ve got a video tutorial for tomorrow, but Fancy Fold Friday is taking a little break. I’m still working out what is going to take its place though, any suggestions of anything you would like to see message me!

I made this birthday card for James’ best friend, Sophie a few weeks ago. The Something Lacy background stamp is stamped in Blackberry Bliss onto Sahara Sand card stock. I love the sketchy effect created here, although I will have to admit I’m not totally sure how it happened – another one of those fabulous crafty accidents!

The ‘Happy Birthday’ is taken from Butterfly Basics, and is heat embossed in Gold onto Vellum. Adhered with a careful application of Tombo glue 🙂

Thank You Something Lacy!

When I’m creating I find that I’ll use the same products a few times on a few projects, then usually when I’m writing them all up for you guys, I split them up into different weeks. But I just had to share these cards with you!

I’ve been loving using the Something Lacy background stamp – I know it’s in the Wedding section of the Spring/Summer catalogue, but think outside of the box with me for a while. Although I love it stamped in subtle colours like Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand, I wanted something a little brighter for my customer Thank You cards this month … are these bright enough for you?

They use the latest selection of In-Colours; Blackberry Bliss, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow and Tangelo Twist.

The Thank You comes from the Sale-a-bration set Simply Wonderful – I am really going to miss it! It had featured on quite a number of projects recently – Don’t forget Sale-a-bration ends on the 31st March, order before then to get one of these lovelys delivered to your post box!

I do love a good CASE…..

I read a fair few Stampin’ Up! blogs, I love looking through Facebook groups, Pinterest boards and seeing what other people have created.

This card was originally created by Amanda Fowler of Inspirin’ Inkin’.

Stampin' Up! UK Petal Potpourri Inspiring Inkin CASE Melon Mambo

It was the background of the original card that really inspired me, as much as I love this flower – and was after a different way to use it when I came across the original blog post.

To create the softly stamped background – Ink your background stamp with Sahara Sand ink. Stamp it off once, and lay it rubber side up on your desk. Place your cardstock on the top (gently!) and rub over small areas of the card with your fingers.

I used the new Something Lacy stamp here but it works just as well with the Dictionary or Chevron background stamps

This card is finished with one of those lovely Petal Potpourri punched flowers and a Melon Mambo button threaded with white Bakers Twine.

Its’s Challenge time again! – AW32

I do love a good challenge! And this challenge over at Around the World Stampin Challenges is particularly good!

AW32

I love using sketches when I’m scrapbooking, but using a sketch when I’m card-making isnt something I do much of! So, this really was a challenge for me.

Stampin' Up! UK AW32 Sketch Challenge entry

I decided to use new products from the Spring/Summer catalogue (and a little something from Sale-a-bration!) for this card. I just love using my new stuff! Don’t you?

The card base is Pear Pizzazz, with a matt of that fabulous Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration brochure. This paper is fabulous! When it arrives it just looks like 12 sheets of white 12×12 cardstock, but when you ink or mist it, it comes alive! The white paper has a glossy white pattern hidden on it, 6 different designs – dots, flowers, stripes, vines, stars and a sort of scaly pattern! So I grabbed for the dots here and sponged it in Pear Pizzazz Ink – I love that inky / blotchy look. It says “this card was handmade! with love and effort!”

The hearts punched using the Sweetheart punch, and the heart from Itty Bitty Accents. I stamped the new background stamp, Something Lacy, in Pink Pirouette, onto Very Vanilla cardstock before punching out the hearts and creating the sentiment banner. That sentiment by the way is another Sale-a-bration item!

I love the Sale-a-bration offerings this year. There is a great selection of stamps, papers, embellishments, Project Life cards, AND some blendabilities! all for FREE when you spend £45 with me and Stampin’ Up! between now and the 31st of March! Awesome!

Anyway, thanks for reading all my waffle today, and I hope you enjoyed the card!
