Petal Park Thank you card…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this morning… for a card I was supposed to share as part of a blog hop yesterday! Honestly, I have no excuse, other than that I haven’t looked at my diary all week. I even made the card in plenty of time, and just completely forgot to write the blog post! Anyway, better late than never, and I’ve linked to the rest of the projects in the hop later in the post too.

This months InspireINK challenge was a fabulous colour combination of; Petal Pink, Sweet Sorbet, Shaded Spruce, Balmy Blue, Mango Melody and Night of Navy. Now, I know this feels like a LOT of colours, but there are actually on this card… can you spot them all?

I have been really enjoying using the Petal Park stamp set recently. Here I have paired it with Sentimental Park for the sentiment, and Hand-Drawn Dots for that dotty banner piece. This card is a CASE of a card in the Stampin’ Up! catalogue, and that banner was Designer Series Paper, but I don’t have the right piece, and so I changed it and made my own! The dots are stamped in Balmy Blue onto Basic White card stock, and then I using a Blending Brush to add more Balmy Blue over the top too!

Check out the girls who were actually organised and managed to make the actual blog hop below;

Global Design Project #384 | Warm Welcome Birthday Card idea

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Global Design Project Challenge entry. This week they have a fun Inspiration challenge, using this fab card by Kim Fee.

I’ve used 2 stamp sets on this card… the Warm Welcome stamp set for the birthday cake and the flowers, and Something Fancy for the sentiment. The Birthday cake is coloured using Mint Macaron, Pool Party and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends.

The background of this card uses one of the new embossing folders, called the Basic 3D Embossing Folders which are available as part of the current Online Exclusive! I’ve added a hint of Mint Macaron with a blending brush to add that circular element from Kim’s card.

The card is finished with die cuts from the Something Fancy dies, and a sprinkle of Iridescent Rhinestones

Inspire.Create.Challenge #137 | On the Farm

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge! Goodness me it feels like forever since I wrote a blog post… and I’m feeling a little rusty if I’m totally honest. February has been an absolute disaster of a month for me; I caught COVID for the first time at the start of the month, and it’s taken me a good few weeks to get my head back together.

This week Inspire.Create.Challenge is a theme challenge, and we are playing with ‘Spring Time’… and what is more Spring than field full of sheep (at least around here anyway!). So I reached for the On the Farm bundle from the January-April mini-catalogue

Because I haven’t crafted all that much this month, I did turn to Pinterest for a bit of inspiration for this card, and spotted a card with the animals stacked. I thought it was such a fun idea, and so took this as inspiration to create this card.

The background is a brand new Embossing Folder coming on the 1st March as part of a fun new promotion called Online Exclusives! I’ll be sharing more about it very soon.

Don’t forget to hop over to the Inspire.Create blog to check out the rest of the Design Team creations, and I hope to see you again soon

Inspire.Create.Challenge #135 | Love for You

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge sketch. Do hop over to the Inspire.Create blog and see the sketch and the rest of the Design Team’s creations (and add your own projects too!).

I have been loving creating with the Love for You bundle. The flower stamps in this one are really lovely and the words dies are just perfect.

The Designer Series Paper in the background is from Sun Prints, and uses Night of Navy. I do love a Night of Navy moment, here I’ve paired it with Balmy Blue, Soft Succulent and Blushing Bride… oh, and a hint of Gold too!

This card is finished with a trio of the Adhesive-backed Milky Dots.

Global Design Project #378 | Beautifully Happy

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Global Design Project idea. This week their challenge is a sketch. When I saw this on Monday I jumped onto Facebook Live and made this card. I would LOVE to share the video, but the Facebook pixies are being a bit naughty and I appear to have some sort of tech issue… which I have no idea how to solve! So, I will aim to re-record the video over the next couple of days.

The Beautifully Happy stamp set is currently available for FREE when you spend £90 during Sale-a-bration!

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | Thank you Lovely Linen!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Crafty Challenge blog hop. This month we were given a number of different ideas and basically told to pick the ones we liked and felt inspired by, and then create! So that I what I did… Inspired by the terms; Sponging, Thank You, Pearls and Standard Horizontal.

I love this piece of Designer Series Paper, from Lovely Linen (Annual Catalogue) and I’ve sponged (well, ink blended because I couldn’t be bothered to dig out my sponges!), the edges with Evening Evergreen ink.

The Thank You is from Something Fancy, and die cut using the coordinating dies.

This card is finished with a little White Crinkle Seam Binding ribbon, and a trio of Iridescent Pearls.

Global Design Project #377 | Repeat stamping with Alphabest

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. I thought I would share the card I made last night, inspired by this weeks Global Design Project colour challenge using So Saffron, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green.

I saw a card on Instagram using Alphabest, and was reminded that I have this set completely un-inked on my shelf. The alphabet is cute, but for me this stamp set wins on the “background” pieces. So cute!

Cute Hello card using Alphabest from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have added Sahara Sand to the colour combination, just to break it up a little, and finished this card with a bow of White Crinkle Seam Binding and a trio of Milky Dots.
