Thank You Blended Seasons!

Thank You card using Blended Seasons from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thank You Blended Seasons!

 

I have had SO much fun with the Stampin’ Up! August Exclusive Stamp and Die bundle; Blended Seasons. I’ve made so many fun projects with it, including a fabulous FREE class for anyone that spends £45 in my Online Store this month, and a fun Facebook Live… and two more cards that I’m sharing with you today and tomorrow!

Subtle Thank you card using Blended Seasons from Stampin' Up!

The Blended Season’s Bundle, along with an exclusive pack of Watercolour Pencils retired on the 31st August, or sooner if the stock runs out! I will keep you up to date if this goes into limited stock on my Facebook Page. This is one of those stamp sets that is perfect for a heap of occasions throughout the year, with images that work for Summer, Autumn, Christmas and into the new year, as well as a collection of really useful sentiments too. Definitely a great addition to your stamp collection!

I’ve kept things simple for this card; although the sentiment piece did throw up some challenges! I love using vellum, but it’s always a little tricky to adhere to projects. Here the sentiment is stamped in Gray Granite, and set with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder (because ink takes FOREVER to dry on Vellum!). Then, there are 2 glue dots hidden under this stunning Glitter Enamel Dots to adhere it to the card! Sneaky!

Oh, and that background effect… that’s created by splattering Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Write Marker across the card stock 🙂

Make It Monday | Twisted Gate Fold Card using Garden Impressions from Stampin’ Up!

Pretty floral twisted gate fold video tutorial using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Twisted Gate Fold Card using Garden Impressions from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday banner

Do you have a list of projects you have to have a go at? I know I do… actually the notes section of my phone is full of project ideas, lists of videos to make, and creative musings! Today’s project is one that has been on that list for quite some time, but I think that it was worth the wait….

Make It Monday Twisted Gate Fold Card using Abstract Impressions from Stampin' Up!

I am loving this Designer Series Paper… its the Garden Impressions 6 x 6″ paper stack, which I will admit I really wasn’t taken with on first viewing, but I have used it SO much! I think I’m going to have to grab another pack soon! It coordinates with the Abstract Impressions Stamp and Die Bundle which includes a heap of really pretty sentiments and gorgeous flower stamps… and then there are the dies! Check out the images at the bottom of this post to see them in detail.

While I’m on a coordination kick, its also worth noting that the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper also coordinates with a whole HEAP of Stampin’ Up! colours: Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Petal Pink, Powder Pink, Shaded Spruce, Soft Seafoam, So Saffron and Whisper White! All of which are available in ink and card stock, for fully coordinating projects. AND there are ribbons, and embellishments available too! Isn’t that awesome?!

Measurements:

Card Base: Soft Seafoam Card Stock; 21 x 14.8 cm

Scored on the long side at 7 and 14 cm. Then, score the end panels from top right to bottom left.

Whisper White: 6.5 x 14.3 cm. Cut 3 pieces, cut one piece from top right to bottom left, and one from top left to bottom right.

Designer Series Paper: 6 x 13.8 cm. Cut 2 pieces, and cut one piece from top right to bottom left, and one from top left to bottom right.

Cutting the Designer Series Paper the right way is important… unless you want different patterns on the front and back of your card, then you could cut them both the same.

Go For Greece | Merry Christmas with Blended Seasons…

How to make a fun Coloured Christmas Card using Blended Seasons from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Go For Greece Merry Christmas with Blended Seasons…

Go for Greece Blog Hop

I have been having a heap of fun with this month’s Exclusive stamp and die bundle: Colour Your Season… I shared a fun Facebook Live with you last week with heaps of ideas using it, and I have a free class download when you spend £45 in my shop this month using it too! The cards I’ve shared using the Blended Season’s stamp set, so far, have been pretty generic…. until now. Please let me share my first Christmas card of 2018!

Bright and fun Christmas Card using Colour Your Season bundle from Stampin' Up!

I shared a sneaky peak of this one on my Facebook Page, and got a few questions about how I coloured the images. It’s really very simple, and I will do a Video Tutorial soon… but basically it’s just an ink pad and a Blender Pen. Blender Pens are different from Blends Markers (I know, it’s confusing!) but a Blender Pen contains clear ink, and allows you to pick up ink from the ink of a ink pads and colour with it (or spread Watercolour Pencil!)… they are an absolute staple in my craft room…

Merry Christmas Card using Blended Seasons from Stampin' Up!

The trick is to be fairly quick, and not rub over the same spot of card stock too much as Blender Pens have a nasty habit of ‘piling’ card stock… and that’s not a pretty look!

The rest of the card came together pretty quickly, with some die cuts from the coordinating Stitched Seasons Framelits, and a Gold Faceted Gem to finish

Little Twinkle Watercolour Anniversary Card

Watercolour Background Anniversary Card using Little Twinkle from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Little Twinkle Watercolour Anniversary Card

 

Last week I celebrated my 3rd Wedding Anniversary. I am a little shocked that it’s been 3 years already… but then when I think of all the things we’ve done since we got married, our wedding feels like forever ago! I will share the card I received over on my Facebook Page… James always sneaks into my crafty stash to make me a card (and this year he had fun with Embossing!)

Watercolour Valentines card using Little Twinkle from Stampin' Up!

Of course I HAD to make James a fun anniversary card! I had SO much fun making THIS card for Make It Monday last week, and so really wanted to re-create the idea for this card. The colours I’ve used are Night of Navy, Gray Granite, Coastal Cabana, and Berry Burst. I had intended to add some white ink splatter too…. not sure what happened!

I do have to admit that this card also uses a scrap! Yes!… an actual scrap. That circle of Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper is the of cut from THIS card. Nothing wasted!

The sentiment is stamped in Whisper White Craft Ink onto one of the Stitched Labels from the Blended Seasons Bundle cut from Vellum. So pretty!

Make It Monday | Stitched Around All Pocket Card

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to make a Pocket Card using Stitched All Around from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Stitched Around All Pocket Card

Make It Monday banner

Today’s project is a fun one… we all send cards all the time, but why does a card have to be card stock folded in half?! I think today’s project would make a super cute invitation, or a fun ‘just because’ card, or a great way to dress up a gift card!

Making a fun fancy fold Pocket Card using Gorgeous Grape and Stitched All Around from Stampin' Up!

Firstly, lets just talk about those colours! Oh my goodness I am in LOVE with this colour combination: Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Petal Pink. One of the best things about Stampin’ Up! products is the coordination. The Card stock is the same colour as the Ink, is the same colour as the Embellishments, is the same colour as the ribbon, Designer Series Paper and more! I would LOVE you to try Stampin’ Up! inks…. we have SO many fabulous colours. You can check them all out HERE

This is simple project…. really it’s just an envelope with a fun insert! But there are SO many ways to dress this up… I would LOVE to see your versions! Share them with me over on my Facebook Group!

Measurements:

Card stock: 7-7/8x 7-7/8″

Punch and score using the Envelope Punch Board at 3-3/8″

Insert:

Gorgeous Grape: 4 x 5-1/2″

Whisper White: 3-3/4 x 5-1/4″

Belly Band:

Petal Pink: 1-1/2 x 11″

How to make a fun Pocket Card using the Envelope Punch Board

My other love at the moment is the fabulous Stitched All Around Bundle! That label die is finding it’s way onto a heap of projects at the moment. Did you see my Notecards and Envelopes Project last week… it used the same die, but it looks so different!

Memories and More Desk Storage Box with Pen Holder

How to make a storage box for your Memories and More cards using Stampin' Up! card stock and Designer Series Paper

StampinByHannah Memories and More Desk Storage Box with Pen Holder

I’m on a bit of a storage making kick at the moment… I think it’s because I keep looking at furniture I can’t buy (yet!), and so making my own crafty storage is a reasonable alternative! I have told the story before about how I was led to card making from scrapbooking, but I don’t think I’ve ever said anything about how much I LOVE pocket scrapbooking! It’s just so quick, and you can whip up and album in just a few hours. My Wedding Album (still under development… and currently at the bottom of a large storage box, because you know; moving!) is mostly made up of Pockets, with some 12 x 12 pages thrown in!

Fun storage for Project Life or Memories and More Cards Video Tutorial

These are some of the new Memories and More cards too… so pretty! I am planning on using these to catch up with my One Little Word Album for 2018, which I am slightly (read: 4 months!) behind with.

Box 2: 9 x 3″ (22 x 7.5 cm)
