Inspire.Create.Challenge 028 | Abstract Impressions Friendship Card

Fabulously Modern Floral Friendship Card using Abstract Impressions from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge 028 Abstract Impressions Friendship Card

Inspire.Create.Challenge 028 Stampin' Up! Colour Combination

I have to say I LOVE setting the challenges for Inspire.Create…. but even I thought this one was mean! However, the girls have made some GORGEOUS projects with what could be a tricky colour combination. Do check out the Inspire.Create blog to see all the Design Team creations and to enter your own!

How to create a fun floral Friend card using Stampin' Up! products

After several weeks of no crafting at all thanks to my Crafty Mojo disappearing, this colour combination was just what I needed to get me back into my craft room.

The background is embossed with one of my favourite embossing folders; Layered Leaves. This embossing folder makes for the most perfect background to floral cards, it’s subtle, and works in a whole heap of colours too! I LOVE it!

There's So Much to Love About You Card using Abstract Impressions from Stampin' Up!

The stamped flowers are stamped in Calypso Coral stamped over Crushed Curry, and finished with Pear Pizzazz leaves. To complete the card I added a trio of die cut flowers using the coordinating Springtime Impressions dies along with a trio of Rhinestones.

Team Retreat | Mini Origami Chocolate Boxes

Fun no glue mini box using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

StampinByHannah Team Retreat Mini Origami Chocolate Boxes

Pootlers Team Photo September 2018

Yesterday I shared the mountain of swaps I received from the lovely ladies in that photo at our recent Team Retreat in Manchester. Today, I thought I would share the swap I gave them!

I am a big believer in keeping things simple…. especially when you have to make 50 of something. So, I resized a fun box I shared a few weeks ago to fit a popular hazelnut filled chocolate

Fun no glue mini box using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

These cute little boxes are so quick and easy to make. In fact, I recently had to attend a train the trainer day as part of my day job where we had to teach each other a skill…. and I taught these! The other ladies where mesmerised as a flat sheet of paper became a fun and useful box!

Mini Origami Chocolate boxes using Tea Room Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up!

These boxes use the fun Tea Room Speciality Designer Series Paper, as it’s a lighter weight that the standard Stampin’ Up! Paper it’s easier to create the fun origami folds of this box.

Team Retreat Swaps…

Pootlers Team Swaps September 2018

StampinByHannah Team Retreat Swaps…

 

Well Hello! I am SO glad to be back blogging again this morning… wondering where I’ve been?! Well, I would love to say I’ve been sunning myself on some hot beach somewhere, but alas no… just struggling with a complete lack of crafty mojo! However, I managed to craft over the weekend, and find time to write some blog posts… and so here I am!

There are some changes coming to StampinByHannah this month as we start the new Stampin’ Up! year and I gear up for the massive challenge that I have set myself this year…. to earn the incentive trip! So, Starting this week I have a weekly Facebook Live planned, along with some other fun classes, clubs and more!

Before we get to that though I thought I would share what I got up to at a recent Stampin’ Up! Team Retreat…

Pootlers Team Photo September 2018

We had THE most fabulous time, and I have a few projects and things to share with you from the weekend over this week.

Today I thought I would share all the wonderful Swaps I received…. Swapping is one of my favourite parts of Stampin’ Up! events. It’s a chance to get a mountain of inspiration in a snap, chat with other demonstrators and bond over your favourite Stampin’ goodies! This time the team out did themselves with some truly wonderful ideas. Click the video to see them all, or there are also some photos of a few of them below….

Swaps Video

—– VIDEO COMING THIS EVENING…… sorry, last minute rush and YouTube failed me 🙁

will share my swap with you tomorrow, but for now here a few images of some of the swaps I received…

Pootlers Team Swaps September 2018

I love the creativity you find in a bag of swaps. Not only in the designs and the items people have made, but also in the things people put in them! This time I found chocolates, sweeties, tealights, hand creams, jewellery, scissor charms, and more!

Inspire.Create.Challenge Theme challenge Celebrate Card using Frosted florals Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge 027 Celebrate (our 1st anniversary!!)

Inspire.Create.Challenge 027 Celebrate

Wow! I have just written the Challenge blog post before I’ve written this one… and I got SO excited! I cannot believe that it’s now been a year since I started this fabulous challenge. So, before I get into the main blog post, I just want to reach out and give you all big squishy hugs of Thanks for sticking with us, taking part, leaving comments and more! We have NO plans to stop…. in fact, I’ve just set the team all the challenges up until Christmas!

Inspire.Create.Challenge Stampin' Up! Challenge Blog Theme Challenge Celebrate Theme Floral Celebrate Card using Stampin' Up! products

In order to Celebrate I thought I would use my favourite Designer Series Paper from the new Autumn Winter Catalogue. I am in LOVE with this Frosted Florals Designer Series Paper, 1. its floral and watercolour… and 2. its SHIMMERY! It’s so pretty… saying that I have covered most of it with a piece of Vellum, but you can still see the paper, so I think that’s ok!

There actually isn’t any stamping on this card, rather the sentiment is die cut using the Celebrate You thinlits. I haven’t pulled these out for ages, which is a shame really because they are lovely!

Fun Floral Celebrate card using Frosted Florals from Stampin' Up!

This card is finished with a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots.

Christmas Countdown | Stampin’ Blends at Christmas!

Joy to the World Christmas Card using Alcohol Markers and Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown Stampin’ Blends at Christmas!

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Oh my goodness… Yes! It’s that time of the year already! The Start of my Annual Christmas Countdown.

Over the next 12 weeks I have 12 fun Festive projects for you each and every Friday…. and I thought I would start with a simple Christmas Card

Fun Christmas Card using Stampin' Blends Alcohol markers and Feathers and Frost from Stampin' Up!

I had lots of fun making this card, with the little details; the background stamping, the Stampin’ Blends coloring and the pop of Heat Embossing.

Stampin’ Blends are so fun! You need to be a little careful with your Stamping ink choice when using Stampin’ Blends, but really it just comes to ensuring you stamp using a Water-based ink for the images you wish to colour. What is so great is that ALL Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink’s are Water-Based…. so you can use your Stampin’ Blends alongside your Stampin’ Inks! How cool!

There are now TONS of Stampin’ Blends colours available with even more being added in this years Autumn Winter catalogue. They are super easy to colour with and come in colour pairs for perfect Blending. I am planning some more Blends videos very soon…. I’ve got myself a little bit addicted!

I cannot wait to share the rest of this years Christmas Countdown with you….

Dad’s Birthday Card using Best Route from Stampin’ Up!

Fun Boys Birthday Card using Best Route Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Dad’s Birthday Card using Best Route from Stampin’ Up!

 

Oh yes, today is my Dad’s birthday…. and because I gave him his card last night, I thought I would be really timely and share his card with you today. Men’s cards are always a little tricky, but I think we have the perfect Designer Series Paper Assistance this year; Best Route!

Simple Guys Birthday Card using Best Route from Stampin' Up!

I recently used the same paper on a card for my Brother-in-Law, isn’t it fun that we can create multiple difficult cards with the same products and they look totally different?! I love the colour combination in this paper; Blueberry Bushel, Mango Melody and Gray Granite…. and I’ve used the same colours in the card stock and stamping.

The sentiment is taken from Picture Perfect Birthday; I LOVE this set, it’s perfect for simple birthday cards, and therefore great for guys too!

Inside a guys card using Best Route from Stampin' Up!

As usual with family cards I HAD to pimp the inside with some more layers of Designer Series Paper and a hint of stamping too

International Blog Highlights | Congratulations with Frosted Florals

Pretty floral congratulations card for Kylie's International Blog Highlights using First Frost from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights | Congratulations with Frosted Florals

Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

Wow… these Blog Highlights come around quicker and quicker don’t they? This month’s theme is Congratulations! and I think we have the most perfect stamp set for Congratulations cards in the new Autumn Winter catalogue. First Frost has the most beautiful mixture of pretty florals and festive phrases, but there is also a Congratulations in there too….

Layered Watercolour Floral Card using First Frost from Stampin' Up!

This stamp set is part of my favourite suite in the new catalogue… I mean, it’s got watercolour effect flowers, and shimmery Designer Series Paper…. what’s not to love?!

I’ve not used the Designer Series Paper on this card, instead I’ve stuck with stamping and die cutting with the coordinating dies and created this fun layered card. I did however, use the Paper on THIS card from last weekend!

The first layer is some tone on tone, Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake Card Stock stamping, and then I’ve used Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather for the die cut leaves and flowers

Floral Congratulations card using First Frost from Stampin' Up!

I almost added Rhinestones or Pearls…. but then I changed my mine and chose to keep things simple, finishing the card with the sentiment stamped in Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla card stock.

Do check out the other Highlight projects over on Kylie’s Blog…. and Don’t forget to Vote for you favourites too!
