Sweet Lil’ Things Card

Stampin' Up! UK Sweet Lil Things Card

I have been loving playing with Designer Series Paper recently. Usually I buy it, and it sits in my craft room, looking very pretty but without any purpose! Stampin' Up! UK Sweet Lil Things Card

I think this paper is so cute, those foxes melt my heart. I have another project coming next week featuring those strawberries too (actually that’s where this card came from, that piece of Strawberry paper is an off cut! waste not want not!)

The stamp on this one comes from a Project Life by Stampin’ Up! set, Remember This, and it fits wonderfully into the Washi Label punch. Well, it does, but its a little long. No problem, just punch it out as normal and then insert the punched label back into the punch, line it up again and make it shorter – good hey?

What do you think?

Vellum Pillow Box

I am still loving the Square Pillow Box die! I could make these all day, they are so simple and quick to put together. I was sat in my craft room the other day thinking of other variations of this great die, and realised that I hadn’t made an all vellum version! Shocking!

Stampin' Up! UK Square Pillow box top tips

This vellum is stunning (my photo does not do it justice!). I have been playing around with my photo skills again, and am trying natural light and some props at the moment, still needs work I think!

Ok, so Square Pillow Box top tips!

  • The die will cut two pieces of Designer Series Paper or Vellum, but only one piece of card stock at a time.
  • Fold and burnish the pieces well with your fingers, and a bone folder on the straight edges
  • Use Tear & Tape to ensure the whole length of the tabs are covered with adhesive
  • Lie the two pieces of the Pillow Box face down on your desk next to each other, and line up one edge at a time
  • Use Glue dots to stick the flaps together if needed
  • Make them super pretty by using the extra dies and coordinating stamp set!

Have a Beautiful Birthday

Stampin' Up! UK Birthday Blossoms 2nd Generation Stamping

I know I mentioned this earlier in the month, but I have quite a few family birthdays coming up, and I know that the most commonly made type of greetings card is a birthday card, so you will be seeing many more birthday care inspiration coming from me over the next few months (when I’m not thinking about Christmas!)

Stampin' Up! UK Birthday Blossoms 2nd Generation Stamping

This card uses the Birthday Blossoms Stamp Set, that I quite simply just adore! It is the perfect mix of delicate and sketchy, and it coordinates with a couple of punches too!

I kept this card super simple, sticking to just Mint Macaron ink and Whisper White card stock, with the variation in colour coming from the stamping technique used. This card features Second Generation Stamping, to create a layered effect with the flowers and leaves. This is super simple to do; ink up your chose stamp and stamp it off once (or twice for an even paler version) onto some scrap paper before stamping onto your project.

Keeping it simple with a sentiment from the stamp stamp set and three trio’s of Jewel Rhinestones

A beautiful card for James’ Beautiful Grandma

Technique Tuesday | Faux In-lay Die Cutting

I have recently fallen head of heals in love with my Big Shot machine again. My Big Shot was one of those big ticket items I bought when I started crafting 5 years ago, and I have to admit it didn’t get the love and attention it deserved. However, since becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator last year, the amount of use my Big Shot gets keeps increasing, and I am the first to admit that its starting to get tired through over use! I am in desperate need of new cutting plates since my current set are now sporting the ‘stained glass’ effect, and I am forever tightening the handle. I might have to buy it some Christmas presents this year!

Stampin' Up! UK Faux InLay Die Cutting Technique Tuesday

I really enjoy the In-lay die cutting technique, but trying to get all those pieces back into the paper can be a bit of a pain. I have recently tried a few different types of Faux In-Lay Die Cutting, using both the big shot AND punches!

There is a Big Shot add on that is a must for this one, the Premium Crease Pad. Designed to help form the creases when using Bigz Dies, the crease pad stops the die from cutting all the way through your card stock, leaving an embossed effect. This works on both detailed dies, like the Hello You Thinlits, and Butterflies Thinlit dies (love those!) as well as framelit dies, like the Flower Fayre dies that coordinated with the Flower Patch stamps

Stampin' Up! UK Faux In Lay Die cutting video tutorial

In-layed punching is super simple, and is really effective with stamped images, or Designer Series Paper. Keep your eyes on a blog for some more of this technique for sure!

The Wonderland of Northern Lights

Stampin' Up! UK Wonderland Ink blending Christmas Card

Hi there! Welcome to a brand new week of inspirational projects here at StampinByHannah. I hope you checked out the blog hop over the weekend, I have to say the girls put on an amazing show of projects and ideas this time around, and I will be planning another hop soon I’m sure.

If you are new here I post cards and inspiration almost every day of the week, and this week is super exciting as my 12 Weeks to Christmas starts on Saturday!

Stampin' Up! UK Wonderland Ink blending Christmas Card

I have to admit this card was a bit of a happy accident.

I made a batch of these for some lovely ladies who requested an Autumn/Winter Catalogue from me a few weeks ago, and I made a spare to keep and photograph for you my lovely blog readers. It’s a super simple ink blended background of Mint Macaron, Island Indigo and Night of Navy, with the Trees from Wonderland stamped across the bottom in our brand new Archival Black Ink. This particular sample sat on my desk for a week or so while waiting to be photographed, and when I came to take this picture I noticed the bleached dots! I’m guessing that we have had some rain come in through the open window above my desk, which has reactivated the ink and wicked away the colour. At first I was horrified, but the more I look at it, the more I really like the effect it has created.

Don’t you just love a happy accident!

Pootlers Blog Hop | Decorating your Christmas Table

Stampin' Up! UK pillow box Christmas favour



bog hop-001

Hello! Welcome to the 3rd Pootler’s Team Blog Hop! I am so pleased you could join us! Everyone has worked so hard to create wonderful projects for you, please follow the hop around and leave comments on the fabulous blogs to come to.

Thanks

 

I have to admit that although I have been organising this hop for a couple of months, I only managed to actually create my project on Monday! but, never mind, I’m here now

Stampin' Up! UK pillow box designer series paper

If you are one of my regular readers you will know that my box of pre-order goodies sat lonely in my office for 3 weeks while I went off and got married. Coming back from honeymoon and getting back into crafting has taken a few weeks, and several days of playing with the new products, but this pillow box was one of the first things I made. I love cute packaging, but making my own boxes isn’t something that comes naturally to me, so this pillow box die is awesome! Anyway, when it came time to make my Blog Hop project (a littler later than planned) I looked around my craft room for inspiration and came across this little box, and I fell in love all over again!

Stampin' Up! UK pillow box Christmas favour

I made a second pillow box from Cherry Cobbler card stock this time, using the Seasons of Cheer Designer Series Paper as an accent. I will admit that the trees were a bit of an after thought, but they tie the pillow box favour into the rest of the project

Stampin' Up! UK Christmas Table Pootles Blog Hop

If I ever get a Christmas day at home, this is totally what my table is going to look like!

Stampin' Up! UK pillow box cutlery holder

The pillow box die is really versatile. Here I cut the tabs off one end, to create a cutlery holder. I adore this Designer Series Paper, I believe it was hand painted by one of the fabulously talented ladies at the Stampin’ Up! Home Office in Utah, and it is stunning! This tree paper has some wonderful Poinsettias on the reverse that are going to have to find their way onto the centre stage of a project or two! This pillow box is finished with a belly band of Vellum and Silver Glimmer Paper, with a tag and three vellum flowers punched from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack

Stampin' Up! UK Christmas tag

Christmas just wouldn’t be with a tag. Last year I created 12 Tag of Christmas, and I have been thinking about doing something similar again this year, but I’m not sure yet. (Whatever I do will have to start soon though!). This tag features the same Designer Series Paper, Vellum and Glimmer paper combination, with those cute Itty Bitty flowers and the Love Peace Joy Stamp from A Little Something (the stamp set that comes bundled with the pillow box die).

Actually I can’t believe I have got to the end of my blog post without mentioning the Stamps! Shocking!

Hope you enjoy the rest of the hop, hop forward and check out what the wonderful Caroline has created this time.

See you again soon!

Festive Fireplace Week – Tealight Holder

Stampin' Up! UK Festive Fireplace Tealights

Stampin Up! Festive Fireplace Week

Welcome to the final post in my Festive Fireplace week blog series, I do hope you have enjoyed it and found some inspiration. You can find all the other projects in this weeks worth of posts by searching for ‘Festive Fireplace’ in my search bar

Stampin' Up! UK Festive Fireplace Candles cat Christmas

This project comes with a bit of a disclaimer – DO NOT put real tealights inside! Please use electric tealights for this, I will not be held responsible for any accidents caused by this project!

Right, with that out of the way, fancy making one?

They are really simple to make, and I am loving the cat with the bow collar too. The Chocolate Chip version uses Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Tip Top Taupe, while the Soft Sky version uses Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz and Sahara Sand

Stampin' Up! UK Festive Fireplace Tealights

Measurements:

Card stock – 11 3/4 x 3″ (29 x 7.5 cm)

Score on the long side at 5″ (12.5 cm) rotate by 180 degrees and score 5″ again

Stamp your fireplace on both sides, lining the bottom edge up with the score lines you have just made, and cut out the centre of the fireplaces with a craft knife and metal ruler

Use Tear’n’Tape to attach vellum behind the fireplaces, and add mantle pieces, cats and any other decor items.

Form into a tent shape, rounding the corner with the Project Life by Stampin’ Up! corner punch, and joining the tops together with a staple.

Cover the staple with a bow, and insert your electric tealight

Festive Fireplace Week | Vellum Shaker Card

Stampin' Up! UK Festive Fireplace Shaker card

Stampin Up! Festive Fireplace Week

I hope you are enjoying this week of blog posts, you can find the other projects in this series by searching for ‘Festive Fireplace’ in my search bar (near the top of the side bar). I am loving this stamp set, although this card didn’t turn out quite as I imagined.

Stampin' Up! UK Festive Fireplace Shaker card

The shaker part of this one was created using the Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum; I cut a piece 2 1/2 x 6″ and scored at 3″, taped the two sides together leaving the top open, added some sequins from my stash (although there are some great sequins in this years annual catalogue, links below) and sealed the pocket with my handy stapler! I had planned to have this pocket open to the outside and inside of the card, but managed to stick the whole thing together before I had cut the hole! Silly me!

The Fireplace is stamped in Cherry Cobbler on Very Vanilla, and the centre cut out with my trusty craft knife. The only further additions are then the garland atop the fireplace and the sentiment stamped in Mossy Meadow

Stampin' Up! UK festive fireplace black cat christmas cardI’ve been getting inky in my craft room again with this one! The Fireplace is stamped in Sahara Sand, straight onto my Whisper White matt. Then, using my handy sticky notes I masked off the area inside the fireplace and added Daffodil Delight, Delightful Dijon and Tangelo Twist with a sponge.

Stampin' Up! UK festive fireplace week ink blending

The fire is stamped using other handy Stampin’ Write markers (Early Espresso,Tangerine Tango and Crushed Curry), colouring directly onto the stamp to get a multi-coloured effect, before die-cutting with those matching framelits (loving those!) and with a black cat added to finish.

Lovely

Festive Fireplace Week | Technique Tuesday edition!

Stampin Up! Festive Fireplace Week

I have been playing around with this stamp set for a few weeks, and it makes lovely Christmas cards, but I knew I could stretch this one and make some cards for other occasions too!

Stampin' Up! UK Festive Fireplace Birthday Card

It is one of my brother in laws birthdays at the end of the month (am I damn near positive he is never going to see this post so I’m not worrying about sharing it early!) and decided this was the perfect opportunity to try something a little different with both the stamp set and my supplies!

I am completely in love with watercolour at the moment, and have some plans for some paintings soon (scary!) but I always use my ink pads to watercolour with and decided I would try something different with my Stampin’ Write Markers. I have to say, it didnt work as well as I had hoped. These markers are water based, and use the same ink as our ink pads, so I decided to try watercolouring with them direct to paper. I did get some movement of the ink, but not as much as I do when I apply the ink with a paint-brush so I think I’ll be sticking to that in future!

This card also features the wonderful Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum, which I cannot get enough of! and have used as part of this months Stampin@Home kit class, for more information on that click on the image below

Thanks for visiting my little blog today and I hope to see you again tomorrow for another card using the Festive Fireplace!
