Make It Monday | Crafting Forever with Blends

Hey folks!

I have had Stampin’ Blends in my crafty stash for a while now, but I have to admit that they aren’t something I have ever really got to grips with. While I was waiting for my baby girl to arrive a few weeks ago I took the opportunity to make a bunch of cards, and to play with my Stampin’ Blends.

Fun Crafting card using Crafting Forever from Stampin' Up! and Stampin' Blends with StampinByHannah

There is a fun new suite of products in the new Annual catalogue which features crafting items, and while I love a new stamp set I already have the Crafting Forever stamp set in my collection and I haven’t used it all that much. So, before jumping to buy new goodies, I thought I better use this one!

Here I stamped the scissors in Memento Black ink onto thick Whisper White card stock, and then set about using the Light and Dark Blackberry Bliss and Light and Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends to colour them in.

I haven’t done massively complicated colouring. Each element was coloured in the light colour, with shadows added in the dark tone. I didn’t really attempt any blending, but even then I think this worked really well.

The sentiment is also taken from Crafting Forever, and is punched out using the Everyday Label punch and raised up on Dimensionals.

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!

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.

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!
