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!

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.

InspireINK | New Year New Project with Hand Drawn Dots from Stampin’ Up!

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah and our first InspireINK blog hop of 2023! This month we are celebrating all things new with a fun theme of New Year New Project. So, I’ve reached for my absolute favourite new stamp in my craft room… Hand Drawn Dots! This is one of those stamp sets that leapt out at me the first time I looked through the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue, it just HAD to have a spot on my stamp shelf.

Hello card using Hand Drawn Dots from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

While I was on a theme of favourites, it felt only right to pull my all time favourite Stampin’ Up! colour; Blackberry Bliss, and a set of dies that landed in my room this week that I hadn’t used yet; Alphabet a la Mode. These dies are AWESOME! I would highly recommend getting some Adhesive Sheet to use with them though because they are very thin.

The Dots are stamped in Rich Razzleberry, whilst the rest of the card is Blackberry Bliss. I felt that it needed a little more texture and so I added some ruffles of White Seam Binding ribbon behind the letters. The head embossed sentiment is from Thanks a Bunch (Which is FREE as part of Sale-a-bration!)

Valentines Blog Hop | Love You a Bunch…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for today’s Valentines Blog hop. In the UK we tend to only send a single Valentines card to our partner… and this might be an option for the card I send my husband this year.

Valentines card ideas using Thanks a Bunch from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2023 with StampinByHannah

I’ve used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set, which is currently FREE as part of Sale-a-bration. I wasn’t sure about Carrots as a theme for stamps when I first saw it… but its a super fun set to stamp! Here I’ve stamped the carrots in So Saffron and Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral, but I’ve seen some fabulous purple carrots on Social Media too!

The background is something I’ve been meaning to try for ages. Such a simple idea, lines drawn with a Stampin’ Blend pen. I’ve used Light Old Olive for these (and I used a ruler), but I think I’d go darker and bolder next time.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #134 | On The Farm…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for a fabulous Inspiration challenge for Inspire.Create.Challenge. The original card was made by my fabulous friend Verity, and featured a circle… but you know what I’m like and a I have to change things around, so I’ve opted for a square instead!

This is the ‘Floating paper’ technique, and you would usually cut your strips of paper and adhere them to a piece of Window Sheet or Vellum…. but here, I’ve gone a bit off-piste and popped them straight onto the card front with Dimensionals!

The paper here is actually a FREEBIE from Sale-a-bration, and it coordinates with the On the Farm stamp set and dies which I have also used here… not a farm animal in sight!

Hop over to Inspire.Create to see the inspiration card and check out what the rest of the Design Team have been up to!

Pootlers Team Blog Hop | Share a Milkshake…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for our Team Blog Hop to celebrate the January-April Mini Catalogue from Stampi’n’ Up!

I have been having heaps of fun playing with a few of the new products, but the Share a Milkshake Bundle was just the most obvious choice to share with you today. I absolutely LOVE sharing time with my team mates (although I don’t think I have ever shared a milkshake with any of them… never say never though!)

I have sort of ended up with ice-cream / 1950’s diner colours here… completely by accident! The card base is Flirty Flamingo, while the Ice Cream Glass is Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay (both stamped off).

I love a few bits of this bundle… don’t get me started on that net die cut! But, how cute is the Milkshake top, with the little slit in it, just perfect for the straw! LOVE!

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Heat Embossing with Beautifully Happy from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! This month’s Technique is Heat Embossing… probably something I do on about 80% of my projects, I just LOVE it! Nothing better that a sentiment heat embossed in White on a piece of Basic Black card stock! But, I haven’t done that today.

This card is a bit special, as I made it for my aunt’s 70th birthday this month (I know she wont see this… so I’m not worried about sharing before the big day!). I had a lot of fun watercolouring this image. It’s from the brand new Beautifully Happy stamp set which is FREE with a £90 order during Sale-a-bration which starts on Thursday.

Hand stamped Birthday card using Beautifully Happy from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2023 with StampinByHannah

Both the image and the sentiment are heat embossed in Gold. This is one of my watercolour top tips actually, to heat emboss the image because it sort of keeps the ink where you want it, and makes watercolour a bit easier.

The flower is coloured with Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo and Orchid Oasis. I wasn’t sure when I pulled the colours off my shelf, but now I really like it.

The frame is from Framed Florets, and the background is stamped in Pear Pizzazz onto Pear Pizzazz card stock using one of the more solid stamps from the set.
