InspireINK – Enjoy Today with Magnolia Lane

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hey folks! I’m back blog hopping with the lovely InspireINK girls today. I had a little break in May while I had my baby, but I’m back and loving this month’s challenge. I’ve been playing with the Good Morning Magnolia bundle a fair bit over the past few weeks in preparation for my July events, and so the suite was out on my desk when I came to make this card (which might well have been yesterday afternoon… oops!)

InspireINK Card making sketch challenge June 2019

You guys know how much I love a sketch, and as usual I had a bit of a play around with the elements on this one. So things have changed shape and size a bit… but there are still 3 elements on the card!

Enjoy Today Card using Magnolia Lane from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The Magnolia Lane suite is a big one in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue, with lots of coordinating products and even a sort of mini suite to match! Here I’ve stuck to just the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper and Good Morning Magnolia bundle, and added a few other bits I think go well.

Create a layered Wedding card using Good Morning Magnolia from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I’ve pulled colours out of the Designer Series Paper for this card, so everything coordinates. The card base, stamped flower and Rhinestone Gems are all in Petal Pink, while the other elements are Whisper White, Mossy Meadow and Early Espresso.

The banner element has been transformed into a Stitched Nested Label, because I just cannot get enough of these dies at the moment! and the label is also embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder for some extra texture and dimension!

The card also has a couple of die cut leaves from the coordinating Magnolia Memories dies, and is finished with some loops of Linen Thread and a trio of those Rhinestone Gems!

A Shabby Chic Card with Free as a Bird…

Hey Folks! I’ve got a slightly different style of card for me today (and another video… Yes! That’s 2 in less than a week!). I do love playing around with ink, whether that’s stamping, watercolouring, ink blending… etc.

Free as a Bird Card video tutorial using Bird Ballard from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I’ve been having an absolute blast crafting with my June Crafty Selections kit. This fun monthly kit contains a wonderful mix of Designer Series Paper, embellishments and more, and comes with a jam packed sheet of inspiration too!

You can get all the details about this month’s Crafty Selection Box HERE. Booking for this month’s box closes on Wednesday at midnight, and I would hate for you to miss out.

I’ve added a couple of bits to this months kit to create this card, in particular the Free and a Bird stamp and die bundle. I just can’t get enough of these birds, the are stunning simply stamped on their own, but really start to sing when they are coloured. This time I’ve used Blends, but I have a plan to watercolour them soon too!

The Stitched Nested Labels Dies are definitely a new favourite in my craft room. They’ve started to appear on a whole lot of projects, and I can see them being a staple for a long time to come!

In Colour Card Ideas… and a video!

Hey folks! Not only do I have a couple of fun card ideas, I am super excited to be sharing a video with you today. I asked on my Facebook page earlier in the week about whether you would like to see some random Facebook Lives, or regular video uploads, and the opinion was pretty mixed! So, I’ve decided that I’ll film when I can, and if I get in the odd Facebook Live too then that great! Anyway, yesterday James was home and so was able to look after Niamh for a little bit while I made today’s cards and video.

Simple Designer Series Paper card using Bloom and Grow from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have seen this type of card a couple of times recently, and I thought it was such a great way to share the new In Colour Designer Series Paper with you! I love the patterns in this years colour family Designer Series Paper stacks. They are just so easy to use. Each colour family, plus both sets of In Colours have a pack, all with the same patterns, and I might just have to have them all!

Quick and simple In Colour Designer Series Paper card and video tutorial with Stampin' Up! and StampinByHannah

The sentiment on this first card (yes, I have 2 for you today!) is from Bloom and Grow. I am in LOVE with this stamp set, I can’t decide if its the pretty florals or the sentiments that’s getting my vote, but I can’t put it away none the less!

This card comes together really quickly, after you’ve done a bit of die cutting with the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I’ve matted it all on a card base of Terracotta Tile, and then matched the stamping and the Faceted Dot Embellishment.

Card Ideas Video

The second card uses the same idea as the first, but I’ve stepped it up a bit and paired it with the Well Said stamp set and Well Written dies. These have only recently found their way into my craft room, but I have to say I am loving using them!

In Colour Happy Birthday Card using Well Said from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The 5 new In Colours work so well as a colour combination, they really are a great addition to your crafty stash. I have a fun In Colour Club about to start and there are a couple of places left! You can find out all the details and sign up HERE. Booking closes tomorrow night (15th June) and midnight.

Pootlers Team Blog Hop | Free as a Bird Thank You Card

Join the Number 1 Stampin' Up! Team in the UK

Hey folks! It’s a special day here today, the first Pootlers Team Blog Hop of the new Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue! I absolutely LOVE taking part in these blog hops, the girls always work so hard to create some fabulous projects to inspire you with some of the new stamps and goodies in the catalogue. I also coordinate these hops, and with the recent birth of my daughter I did consider not running the hop this time, but, they are so much fun I couldn’t miss one!

Thank you card using flower stamps from Free as a Bird from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This time I thought I would share a fun way of using the Free as a Bird stamp set. This stamp set is one of my absolute favourites in the new catalogue, and it forms part of just the most gorgeous suite of products. Bird Ballard includes a bright and fun pack of Designer Series Paper, pretty lace trim, some lovely embellishments and just the most beautiful tin and notecards. I’ll list all the goodies in this suite at the bottom of this blog post.

Pretty watercolour Thank You card using Free as a bird and Bird Ballard from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card was inspired by my friend Stacey Marsh and a card she made using another new stamp set, Sailing Home. I just really liked the diagonal stamping, here I’ve used the pretty flower stamps from Free As A Bird and stamped in Stazon ink onto Shimmer White card stock

Then each flower was (very) loosely watercoloured in either Rococo Rose for the large flowers, or Mint Macaron for the smaller ones.

Rococo Rose Thank You card using Free as a bird from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I did actually originally stamp the sentiment straight onto the card, but it just didn’t quite have the right impact. So, I stamped it again onto a scrap of card stock the same width as the stamped panel and popped it up on some dimensionals.

Now, I love this stamp set, but I do have one issue… it doesn’t have coordinating dies! So, that flower was fussy cut. But, it does actually cut out quite easily, or it does when you only cut one anyway!

Thank so much for checking out my blog today, I would be so grateful if you would check out the projects the other ladies have created for the Pootlers Team Blog Hop. Just click on the images below to be taken to each of their blogs, and I hope to see you again very soon!

Masculine Sailing Home card using Stampin' Up! products with StampinByHannah

There are lots and lots of lovely stamp sets in the new Annual Catalogue, but Sailing Home is one of my favourite masculine options. Here I’ve paired it with the last new In Colour; Pretty Peacock

Colour Combination

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!

5 Days of Colour | Seaside Spray meets Bloom and Grow

Hey folks!

Today’s card might be my favourite of the 5 days, I am just totally in LOVE with this stamp set! Bloom and Grow instantly hit me when I flicked through the catalogue, its floral, has coordinating dies and gorgeous sentiments! What’s not to love?

Bloom and grow thank you card using Seaside Spray from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Seaside spray is a pretty soft blue, its super pretty and is going to be perfect for those Baby Boy birthday cards this year! It looks great with bolder colours too… check out the colour combo;

Colour Combination

The coordinating dies are in the new Stampin’ Up! style packaging and line up slightly differently to the previous types of dies, however they cut beautifully. The new die packets are a slightly different shape to the old ones, but I expect that they will still fit in your storage (they fit in mine!)

Pretty floral thank you card using Bloom and Grow from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

In Colour Club

Seaside Spray is one of the 5 new Stampin’ Up! In Colours this year. Each In Colour is available in an ink pad, refil, card stock, Stampin’ Write marker, and has Designer Series Paper, ribbon and embellishments to match too!

Rooted In Nature Encouragement Card

Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

I have been in a bit of a creative slump again recently, probably because I’ve spent the first 2 weeks of my Maternity Leave endlessly scrolling through Instagram (not helpful!). However, during my scrolling I have come across a bunch of inspiring cards, and this card was inspired by one of those. I wish I could remember who made the original, but for some reason I didn’t save it.

Rooted in Nature Encouragement Card

You are Wonderful Encouragement Card using Rooted in Nature from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I haven’t had Rooted in Nature off the shelf in a while, and its a shame because it is just lovely! The stamp set is currently available bundled with the coordinating dies to save you 10%, but this will end on 3rd June, so I would be reaching for it sooner rather than later to get that discount!

One of the things I have noticed with my scrolling is that I am totally drawn to cards with lots of layers, and this card is no exception! With the embossed background and then layers of stamped, embossed and die cut pieces.

Fun layered card using Rooted in Nature from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The sentiments in the Rooted in Nature stamp set are lovely, and so I’ve selected this one for our Blog Highlight Encouragement theme! I might just have to pop this card into my hospital bag for the lovely midwives… along with a big box of biscuits!

If you love this card as much as I do I would LOVE it if you would vote for me over on Kylie’s blog, and I hope to see you again soon
