InspireINK Blog Hop | Watercolour Simply Succulents

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah and the first InspireINK blog hop of 2021. This month we were challenged to create a project using new products from this years January-June Mini Catalogue, and I am loving so many of the things in it I had a hard time choosing!

But then I saw this card on Instagram and was totally inspired to re-create it using the Simply Succulents stamp set.

Thinking of you using Simply Succulents from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The panel of watercolour paper was die cut using the Rectangle stitched dies, and I added a wash of Bermuda Bay ink as a watercolour. This is so quick to do; I put a bit of water on a clear block and add a dab of ink either directly from the ink pad, or using a re-inker. Then its just a case of painting it onto the watercolour paper. I often add the colour in layers, letting each one dry in between to give the piece more dimension,

The succulents are stamped in Memento Black ink once the panel was completely dry, and the panel was then added to the card base which had a layer of Bermuda Bay Designer Series Paper.

I love a bold sentiment, and to create this will often heat emboss a sentiment in white onto a strip of Basic Black card stock. I did consider adding some pearls or sequins, but chose to keep this one embellishment free.

Two big Birthday Cards….

It’s a special day today for our family, its the day my husbands Great Nanny turns 100. Now, we would have dearly loved to be celebrating all together, but of course we can’t. I can, however provide her with two handmade birthday cards. So that is what I have done.

The first uses the brand new Pretty Perennials stamp set, and the coordinating dies. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set, a sweet floral stamp set that makes my heart happy. Here I’ve stamped it in Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Old Olive, and used the matching Perennial Petals dies to cut them out. I also added one of the more detailed dies to the large flower for a bit more interest.

The sentiment stamps are lovely in this stamp set too. Here I’ve stamped ‘Happy’ in Memento Black, and then heat embossed ‘birthday’ in white. The Designer Series Paper is called True Love, and is a lovely collection of black and white patterns and florals. The 100 is die cut using the Playful Alphabet from some retired Gold Glitter card stock.

I have a fun class coming in February using the Pretty Perennials bundle and the True Love Designer Series Paper, so do check back for that.

The second card uses both new Sale-a-bration goodies, as well as a retired gem. Now, I wouldn’t usually share a project that features a retired item, but I know so many people that have them (or similar) that I felt that I could.

This card uses the lovely Paper Blossoms Designer Series Paper which is currently available for free with a £45 spend.

The 100 is die cut from Petal Pink card stock, a colour which is featured in the Designer Series Paper, and layered over a vellum label cut from the Tasteful Labels dies.

This card is finished with the birthday sentiment, taken from Blossoms in Bloom.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #082 Sketch Challenge

Hello! Well, it’s been a hot minute hasn’t it since my last Inspire.Create Design Team post. In reality, we took a bit of a break over November and December, but we are super excited to be back this month, and we are kicking off with a simple sketch challenge.

Don’t forget to pop over to the Inspire.Create blog to check out the rest of the Design Team’s creations, and to add your own makes to the link up too.

Quick and Simple Happy Birthday card using Pretty Perennials from Stampin' Up! for Inspire.Create.Challenge with StampinByHannah

I have been having heaps of fun this month creating with the Brand New stamp and die bundle; Pretty Perennials, and so it was handy on my desk when I came to make my card for this challenge.

As it’s such a simple sketch, I’ve kept my card pretty simple too, with some very simple stamping on a Stitched Circle die cut. The background is my first ink blending attempt using the new Stampin’ Up! Blending Brushes… I LOVE them! They are so easy to use, and create a lovely, soft, ink blended effect.

Then the card is finished with a trio of the Artistry Blooms Sequins.

Thanks for stopping by StampinByHannah today, and please do check out the Inspire.Create blog for more inspiration.

Time to Sale-a-brate Berry Blessings with the Pootlers Blog Hop!

Welcome to StampinByHannah and the first Pootlers Team Blog Hop of 2021! This time we’re sharing a heap of projects using the new Sale-a-bration gifts.

There are a bunch of really cool Stamp Sets and Designer Series Paper packs that you can currently receive for FREE with an order of over £45! How cool is that?!

Berry Blessings

I thought I would create with the Berry Blessings stamp set today. This stamp set comes with a pack of Designer Series Paper and so requires a £90 spend, BUT it also coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and punch bundle from the new Mini Catalogue!

Quick and simply card using Berry Blessings from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2021 with StampinByHannah

One of the reasons I love this stamp set (and Sweet Strawberry) is that you don’t need to get the markers out to colour the images… as they all have a outline stamp and then a filled stamp to colour the image!

This card uses Misty Moonlight for the card base and the blueberries, and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves and sentiment.

Simple Stamping using Berry Blessings FREE during Sale-a-bration 2021 from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I couldn’t pass the opportunity to stamp with blueberries either… they are my daughters absolute favourite fruit, I think she’d eat them at every meal if she could!

Check out the rest of the teams creations by clicking the images below, and I hope to see you here at StampinByHannah again soon

Stampin’ Up! January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue Open Box Facebook Live Replay

Hello! Just a quick blog post from me this morning. I did an impromptu Facebook Live earlier in the week to share the contents of my January-June Mini Catalogue Pre-Order.

I am absolutely loving this new catalogue, it is jam packed with fabulous stamp sets, and gorgeous Designer Series Papers. I have heaps of good stuff planned for the next 6 months, including more Facebook Live and some fun online classes. I really enjoy doing Facebook Live, however with two small people in the house trying to work out the best time to do one is almost impossible. Particularly at the moment when I’m trying to work around naps and feeds. However, I am aiming to get back to regular Facebook Lives in the new year, I just can’t confirm exactly when they are going to be!

Anyway, this weeks video is a quick look at my Pre-Order from the January-June Mini Catalogue. I will be sorting and posting catalogues over the weekend and into Monday, if you want a copy do let me know!

Happy Birthday with Forever Fern from Stampin’ Up!

I don’t know about you, but I definitely make more Birthday cards that any other kind, and so I love stamp sets that work well for this occasion. Forever Fern ticks that box for me, with some handy (non-birthday) sentiments, and a collection of pretty leaf-y images it is one of those Stamp Sets that has multiple uses.

Last week I needed a card for a neighbours birthday, and I wanted something classic, but fun, and so I pulled out Forever Fern and a collection of bright coloured inks and had a play!

Using Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Pretty Peacock, and Seaside Spray, I stamped a collection of leaves, which were then die cut with the coordinating Forever Flourishing dies. This card was really simple to put together, but because of the embossed panel and die cut layers it looks really complicated.

The sentiment is stamped using the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set, and the die cut using the Rectangle Stitched Dies.

For a finishing touch I added one of the Gold Hoop Embellishments and a trio of Gilded Gems
