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.

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.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #133 | New To You

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… and to 2023! Happy New Year! I have heaps to share with you this year… big big plans. BUT, for today, it’s Inspire.Create.Challenge… and we have a fabulous New Year theme!

New To You… create something with something new into your Craft room, or you could celebrate a new house / baby / friend… interpret how ever you like. But, don’t forget to share it with us over on the Inspire.Create blog!

Today’s card uses a Stamp Set that is Brand New in the Stampin’ Up! January-April Mini Catalogue (which is released on Thursday!)… The set is called “Share a Milkshake” but as you can see, there is not a milkshake in sight with this card!

You're the Cherry on Top using Share a Milkshake from Stampin' Up! for Inspire.Create.Challenges with StampinByHannah

The Cherry’s are die cut from Cherry Cobbler card stock, and I added a bit of ink to each one to create some dimension. The sentiment is also in Cherry Cobbler.

That die cut piece in the background was the reason I knew I needed this stamp and die set… its just the perfect accent piece!

Thanks SO much for supporting my little corner of the internet in 2022, and I hope to see you in 2023, but before you leave StampinByHannah today, please do consider subscribing to my emails, or following me on Instagram!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #132 | Forever Fern

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this weeks Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week Jo has set a colour challenge using Early Espresso, Petal Pink, Rich Razzleberry and Granny Apple Green.

This week is one of those times that I was super pleased I was a little bit organised; my delightful toddler shared an awful cold with me this week… but I made this card last weekend and so managed to hit the deadline!

This card uses Forever Fern. I love this stamp set for a simple stamp layered card like this. I’ve added a base layer here, but this would look just as good stamped straight onto a Basic White Card Base.

Before stamping the leaves, I stamped the ‘Hello’ and then masked it with a bit of ripped Sticky note. Then each stamp is simply layered over the top

InspireINK Blog Hop | Best of 2022

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this week for our final InspireINK blog hop of 2022. This time we have all picked out our favourite projects of the year to share with you again.

I have really enjoyed crafting this year, and so picking a favourite was a little tricky. However, the Full of Love stamp set has been one of my most used sets recently, and so this card was an easy pick. (That, and because I don’t have the card anymore, seeing as I managed to leave it at an event and forget to collect it!)

Between this cute stamp set and Stampin’ Blends I have had a LOT of fun this year. This card did also feature on a Facebook Live earlier in the year too.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #131 | Fond of Autumn

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for another Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week Jo has challenged us with a brilliant sketch… I have twisted it slightly, but I think you can still see the sketch in it!

I am so sad that the Fond of Autumn stamps and dies are part of the Last Chance sale… and therefore might even have sold out by the time this post goes live! But, I just had to use it one more time. Here I’ve coloured the images with Melon Mambo, Orchid Oasis, Mint Macaron, Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends

Quick and Easy Swap card using Framed Florets from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah on a Wednesday evening… I know, I don’t usually blog at this time. However, I do usually go Live on YouTube but today is my son’s 2nd Birthday and so I have given myself the night off! I am thanking myself a few weeks ago for pre-recording a video of my Swap card from a recent Team event! I can be organised!

I made 6 of these cards, 5 for the swap and one to send a new Team Member. They use the Framed Florets bundle, and the coordinating Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. This paper is absolutely GORGEOUS… but it is while stocks last so I would highly recommend grabbing it sooner rather than later.

I love to send little gifts out to customers, and team members. Now is a great time to think about joining as we start the Pre-Order for the new January-April catalogue tomorrow! You can find more information about becoming a part of the team HERE!

Crafty Challenges | Colour Challenge with Happy Forest Friends

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Crafty Challenge blog hop. This month Stephanie challenged us with a colour combination that I found incredibly challenging! I really don’t know why I found it so hard… other than these being colours I really don’t use all that often, but I did manage to pull something together in the end

I pulled the Happy Forest Friends suite for this one… I think inspired by the greens and brown in the colour combination.

Share it Sunday | More fun with Kindest Gnomes!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Share it Sunday blog hop. I have had parts of this card floating around on my desk for a while. I actually coloured the Gnome and the Toadstool at the last in person team event, which was back in September! Last weekend I co-hosted a virtual team stamping day, and managed to get them onto a card.

As well as the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and Gnome dies, this card uses the Stylish Shapes dies and Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper, with a hint of in blending in the background
