Inspire.Create.Challenge #114 | Inspiration with Blessings of Home from Stampin’ Up!

Welcome to StampinByHannah today for a fabulous inspiration challenge with Inspire.Create.Challenges. This week’s challenge is inspired by the lovely Kate Bolt, hop over to the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog to see the original inspiration card.

I’ve used Kate’s card as a sketch, but also as inspiration to use the Heart and Home suite. I LOVE this suite, particularly the Designer Series Paper… although I haven’t used it on this card.

To cretae this card you will need:


Usually you would use Memento to stamp when you’re colouring with Stampin’ Blends, however as Stampin’ Up! inks are water based they also work with the markers. So, here I’ve stamped the floral image 4 times in Basic Gray ink, and then coloured with Stampin’ Blends

International Blog Highlights | Thanks Simply Succulants

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today, for Kylies International Blog Highlight. While you’re here I would be honored if you would pop over to Kylie’s page and vote for my little card this month. Thank You <3

So, the theme of the Blog Highlight is always the same, it’s a Thank You…. and I LOVE a thank you card! I haven’t used this stamp set for AGES, but picked it up to make a Mother’s Day card last week, and remembered how much I love it, and seeing as its with us for another year, I decided to get it inky again for this blog post. I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest last week, by a lady called Andrea, and so I changed it up a bit and created this!

How to create a stunning Thank you card using Simply Succulents from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I will admit, this card took me about an hour and a half to create (mostly because I coloured those Succulents with Blends), but I LOVE the way it’s turned out. The background uses the coordinating Potted Succulents dies, and I would STRONGLY advise using some Adhesive Sheet on this one!

The die cut in the centre is sadly retiring soon, but it was available when I checked over the weekend although I wouldn’t hang about it you want it. The centre piece is actually a piece of Basic White card stock, that I’ve coloured using Crumb Cake ink and a Blending Brush!

Thank you Simply Succulents with Stampin' Up! and StampinByHannah

The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I’ve used one of the labels dies from Potted Succulents to die cut it. Finished with some loops of Linen thread and a trio of the Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels.

Thanks SO much for stopping by today, and don’t forget to vote over on Kylie’s blog post.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #113 | Sketch Challenge

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this week. I am so sorry that I’ve been a bit quiet this month, things have been a little busy at home and I’ve been a bit distracted. Anyway, today sees the start of a new Inspire.Create.Challenge. Hop over to the blog to see the sketch, and check out what the rest of the Design Team have created before you make your own project.

Seeing as today is Mother’s day today, I thought it only right that I share the cards I made for my mum and mother-in-law this year. I clearly had the sketch in my head when I made these, although I wouldn’t usually share these cards here. I’ve had a bit of creative block recently, and despite making several cards this week, these were the first I actually liked! Don’t you hate it when you cant seem to make anything nice?!

These cards use the Simply Succulents stamp set and Potted Succulents dies, which I am so excited to see carrying over into the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #112 | Farewell 2020-2022 In Colours!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today. This week Inspire.Create.Challenge are celebrating our out-going In Colours; Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight. I really will miss these colours when they leave us at the end of April. They are so bright and fun. I haven’t used all 5 of them together on a card in ages, but I actually have 2 cards with this colour combination to share with you this week. Check my Instagram later in the week for my second card!

I love to layer colour, actually I just LOVE colour (and layering!) and so the natural choice was for me to reach for the Hello Beautiful Stamp Set to create a fun layered stamped card today. This stamp set is so cool, with lots of little pieces to add texture and interest, as well as those big smudge style stamps.

To create this card you will need:

Blessings of Home Team Swap Card

Hello. Welcome to StampinByHannah today. I have a fun little video for you today… sort of a part 1 of 2. The team have recently done a card swap, and today I thought I would share the card I made with you. In fact, I made all 6 cards on video. Then, tomorrow, I will share the cards I received back! Seriously, I have some seriously talented friends! I cannot wait for you to see.

My absolute favourite product at the moment is the Hive 3D embossing folder, and so I couldn’t not use it on this card!
