Crafting Live! | Fun with Nature’s Prints from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this week for my YouTube Live replay. This week I have had the Sun Prints suite out on my desk following last weekends blog hop, and I have had so much fun playing with it that I thought I would share it again on YouTube Live this week.

Hello There Just Because Card using Sun Prints from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

Seeing as its Jubilee Weekend, I thought it only right that I use Red, Blue and White… or Night of Navy, Sweet Sorbet, Basic White (and Sahara Sand).

I absolutely LOVE a wreath on a card, and so I couldn’t not get this set of dies… which then led to the stamp set, and the whole suite! The wreath die on its own is really pretty, however, I like to step things up a little, and these flowers also form a perfectly sized wreath on the front of a card.

Pootlers Blog Hop | 3 Card Ideas with the Sun Prints suite from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today. Today is a little bit special, because its our team blog hop, we do about 3 of these a year to celebrate the release of new Stampin’ Up! Catalogues. They are SO much fun, and I hope that you hit some of the other ladies blogs later using the links at the end of this blog post.

When I was shopping through the new Annual Catalogue, this suite didn’t immediately jump out at me. However, after seeing some of the fabulous creations that the Artisan’s had created with it, it fell into my basket!

I have made 3 cards to share with you today, but I think that I will make some more to share on my weekly YouTube Live on Wednesday night, because these are so fun and really simple to do!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #117 | Guys card idea using Beautiful Shapes from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Inspire.Create.Challenge! This week we have a Masculine theme; something I think a lot of use struggle with. When I’m making cards for men, I try to steer clear of florals, ribbon or lots of embellishments, and try to stick to simple stamping. Saying that, this card isn’t all that simple!

Masculine Happy Birthday using Beautiful Shapes from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I love the Abstract Beauty suite, and the dies are particularly great! These fun nesting hexagons are great for a geo-metric guy card. The base layer has ink blended hexagons; I die cut a sheet of window sheet using 3 of the dies, and use it as a mask.

Then the top layer, I added a few different ink colours onto a piece of Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper, and then once it was dry, used the same hexagons to die cut the shapes. This card uses two of the new In colours; Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, along with Pacific Point, Soft Seafoam and Basic Black.

Geometric Happy Birthday using Beautiful Shapes from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The sentiment is from Artistically Inked and is heat embossed in White onto Basic Black. This card is finished with a trio of Adhesive Backed Hexagons.

Don’t forget to pop over to the Inspire.Create blog for more masculine inspiration and to add your own projects to our link-up!

InspireINK | Happier than Happy

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today, and to the InspireINK blog hop. This month our challenge was set by the lovely Janice Thomson of JazzleDazzleCrafts… and she set a really tough one; Sunshine, Flowers and Insects. So, I’ve gone a little outside of the theme, but there is an insect / butterfly on this one!

Happier than happy card using Stampin' Up! products from StampinByHannah

This card uses the Happy Forest Friends suite. I have to admit, this wasn’t something that immediately leapt into my basket, however there as some cute images in the stamp set that I just couldn’t leave behind. The Designer Series Paper is really lovely, there are some very cute-sy images, but also a bunch of really great basic patterns too.

Card ideas using Abstract Beauty from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this evening. Now, I don’t usually blog this late in the day, but this week’ YouTube video was pre-recorded rather than Live because today is my daughter’s 3rd birthday, and so I thought I would set the blog post to go live at the same time.

Recently I’ve been having heaps of fun with the Abstract Beauty Suite from the January-June Mini catalogue. I am in LOVE with the Designer Series Paper! I shared a card using this suite over the weekend for Inspire.Create and wanted to re-make it… so I did!

I kept the diagonal theme with the other two cards I made this week. One using more of that fabulous paper, and one without.

This card also uses the Beautiful Shapes dies to cut out the Designer Series Paper and Basic White card stock.

This week’s final card doesn’t use the papers at all, rather all the little itty bitty stamps in this stamp set, along with Blushing Bride, Polished Pink, Parakeet Party, and Orchid Oasis.

International Blog Highlights | Thank You Amazing Silhouettes

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for Kylies International Blog Highlight. I will get in early and remind you to pop over to Kylie’s blog to vote for your favourite cards this month. My card today was inspired by a card in the new Annual Catalogue (don’t you just love that its an Inspiration book as well as a catalogue?), although I have changed the colour, stamps and Designer Series Paper from the version in the book!

This card actually uses a bunch of left over pieces from my Team Retreat a few weeks ago! The paper (Symbols of Fortune) was part of a Make and Take I didn’t get around to making (no surprises there!), and the Gold Metallic Paper a gift from my team leader.

The Butterfly stamp is taken from Amazing Silhouettes, which is currently bundled with the Amazing Thanks Dies. Top Tip here; make sure you have the Adhesive Sheets for these dies, it makes them SO much easier to layer up.

Thank you Abstract Beauty using Hello Beautiful from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been playing with the Abstract Beauty suite this past week, while I wait for my Annual Catalogue order to arrive! I absolutely LOVE the Hello Beautiful stamp set, but the Designer Series Paper is gorgeous with all that fabulous gold foiling.

This week’s sketch had me a bit stumped if I’m honest, however I do love this card. I think I might make another version for this week’s YouTube video though… so do watch out for that!
