5 Days of Colour | Pretty Peacock meets Sailing Home

Hey folks

It’s the last day of my 5 days of celebrating my 5th Stampin’ Up! anniversary and the release of the 2019-2021 In Colours.

I LOVE being a part of Stampin’ Up! In the past 5 years I’ve met some fabulous people, been to some wonderful places and got to play with lots and lots of great products and call it a job! Stampin’ Up! doesn’t have to be a job though, you can join just for the 20% discount. If you would like to know more about the Stampin’ Up! opportunity do check our my Joining page or FAQ’s.

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!)

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!

You can get all the In Colour goodies plus a whole heap more by joining my In Colour Club in June. I can’t wait to send your first colour!

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

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!

Sale-a-bration…

Sale-a-bration SHOP

There are only 2 weeks left of Sale-a-bration! That’s just 2 weeks left to earn your fabulous free goodies when you spend £45, or to get that gorgeous Craft and Carry Tote bag in your Starter Kit!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #037 | Incredible Like You

It took me two cards to get something I liked for Inspire.Create 036, and its taken me two cards again today! Sometimes creativity is really hard, and recently my crafty mojo has been somewhat Missing In Action! However, I have managed to create a fun card for today’s colour challenge, and I’m really rather pleased with this one…

Inspire.Create.Challenge Stamping Colour Challenge

This time we are creating with a rather soft colour palette, and I think that was my struggle. However, I knew I wanted to use the Incredible Like You Stamp Set. This set coordinates with a fun Card Kit, but works just as well on its own too!

Pretty Floral Adore You card using Incredible Like You from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I started this card by die cutting that sentiment piece using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits, and then drawing around it onto my card stock in pencil. This allowed me to stamp the flowers exactly where I wanted them around the sentiment.

The flower is stamped using 2 stamps, the first stamped off and then the second layer stamped in full strength ink, both stamped in Mint Macaron.

I just adore you 2 step stamping card using Incredible Like You from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The card is finished with some random stamping of some of the little elements in a somewhat diagonal line across the sentiment and a scattering of sequins too!

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?

Just Add Ink 444 | I Like You Oh So Eclectic!

I can’t believe I almost forgot about Just Add Ink this week! But it’s ok… because although it’s now Monday afternoon, I still wanted to join in and share this card with you.

This week’s Just Add Ink was a bit of a head scratcher… use Poppy Parade and Powder Pink plus a colour of your choice! But which colour to choose?!

After spinning my colour caddy a few times I landed on Blueberry Bushel so my colour combination looks like this;

Then came my next dilemma… which stamp set to use?! Now, I’ve used Sale-a-bration goodies a fair bit recently, and then I’ve been playing with some of the new Spring Summer stamps too. So a lot of the stamps from the Annual catalogue have been sat lonely on the shelf! This led me to pull Oh So Eclectic! This is one of my absolute favourite stamp sets, and it has a coordinating set of dies that I also adore… so decision made!

I Like you handmade card using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I made a card over the weekend which I will share with you later in the week, that used Shimmery White card stock and so that was still sat out on my desk, and so this was another jumping off point for this card.

First I added a Powder Pink watercolour wash to that Shimmery White card stock and set it off to dry while I used another scrap piece to stamp those leaves in Blueberry Bushel.

Both the background die and those leaves are die cut using the coordinating Eclectic Layers Thinlits dies. This is one of those packs of dies that work well on their own as well as with the stamp set PLUS they have both cutting and embossing dies too for some fabulously dimensional projects.

Pretty watercolour wash I like you card using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah for Just Add Ink

The card is finished with that cute little sentiment stamped in Poppy Parade and a trio of Rhinestones.
