Fun with the Floral Frames stamp set from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Fun with Floral Frames from Stampin’ Up!

 

I have two cards for you today… one now and one a little later for a fun blog hop with the ladies from the Go for Greece group. Both cards however, use the same stamp set! Floral Frames. I was super lucky to receive this stamp and die bundle as a team gift a few weeks ago, and I’ve only just got around to getting it inky! But, it’s so pretty, I know that these wont be the only cards that get made with it!

Fabulous Floral Best Wishes card using Garden Impressions and Floral Frames from Stampin' Up!

The Floral Frames stamp set comes as part of a fabulous bundle with the Foliage Frames Framelits (say that 3 times fast!)… bundles are great! Not only can you be completely sure that your stamps and dies work together for coordinated projects and reduce the need for fussy cutting, but also, they save you 10% rather than buying the stamps and dies separately. The stamps also pair beautifully with several of the new packs of Designer Series Paper. Here, I’ve used the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper…. but I think that this would look lovely using the Petal Promenade paper too. Both packs are, of course, currently in the Stampin’ Up! Buy 3 Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper sale too!

Best wishes card using Floral Frames from Stampin' Up!

The colours here are Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam. The leaf stamp behind the label is so cute, and I have a fun tip for you…

Top Tip…

To ensure I stamped them in the right place, I placed the label where I wanted it and drew around it with a pencil. Then, stamped the leaves, waited for the ink to dry (which really doesn’t take very long) and used a white eraser to remove the pencil marks.

I reached into my Embellishment storage to finish this card, and grabbed a trio of these Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots.

Make It Monday | Making a card using the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper

Pretty butterfly thank you card with lots of lovely sequins using the Abstract Impressions Bundle from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Making a card using the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper

Make It Monday banner

Hello! This week’s Make It Monday is a super sparkly Thank You card… that I would LOVE to send out to someone! I have a mountain of cards in my craft room and I am starting to sort them into donation piles for charities, as well as family and friends (back to sorting and organising… one day with might sell this flat and I don’t want to have to move them all to be honest!). One of the ways I am looking at thinning out my made projects pile is to gift them to my wonderful customers! So, if you place an order with me this week, you might well just find this card in your customer thank you pack at the end of the month!

Fabulous sparkly butterfly thank you card using Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

I am totally loving the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. It’s a pretty mix of painterly flowers and brush strokes with a fantastic colour palette! I can certainly see a full class coming with this suite, just so many cards I just HAVE to make! The Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper is currently available as part of the Stampin’ Up! Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Designer Series Paper sale too… Awesome!

Video Tutorial…

I use pretty standard measurements on most of my cards, and you can find those HERE!

There are lots of sparkles on this card… not only is that fabulous butterfly from the Springtime Impressions dies cut from a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper, but I have also added a handful of sequins too! There are several different packs of sequins in the Annual catalogue this year… 2 sequin assortments; iridescent (which I have used here) and metallics, and then there are the Basic Adhesive-Backed sequins too which are great if your a little heavy handed with the liquid glue (which might just be me!)

How to make a pretty sparkly thank you card using the butterfly die from Springtime Impressions from Stampin' Up!

I have a bit of a thing at the moment for a hand cut sentiment, it just adds a hint of the hand-made. Here the sentiment is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto a piece of Basic Black card stock, just for a little extra POP! Then, to finish there is a spritz of Night of Navy (because I have spritzed a card for ages!) and a few loops of Silver Metallic Thread too!

Which is your favourite Designer Series Paper at the moment?

International Blog Highlight | Travel with Bike Ride from Stampin’ Up!

International Blog Highlight Travel themed Congratulations Card using Bike Ride from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlight Travel with Bike Ride from Stampin’ Up!

Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

Kylie’s challenge for this month was to create a Travel theme’d project… now, while this makes sense as many Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators gather for a trip to Alaska, it proved tricky for me. I really don’t have many stamp sets with a travel theme! There is a whole suite of goodies aimed at Travel Theme’d projects in this years Annual catalogue… but it hasn’t found it way into my craft room just yet. So, I stood, and stared at my stamp shelves for a while… before I realised I have the perfect travel theme’d set… Bike Ride!

Bike Ride is one of those really cool stamp sets that layers together to make something really great… and works perfectly with the Stamparatus! Here the bike has been stamped in a combination of Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Memento Black.

Because bicycles don’t usually float, I needed to find a why of grounding it on the card… and instead of placing it at the bottom, or adding a shadow with a Blends Marker… I decided to use the Petal Pair’s Embossing Folder. I LOVE the look of this, but it is a little tricky, and has creased the card stock… but I don’t think you can tell too badly!

Fun Congratulations card with a bicycle using Bike Ride from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is taken from the Hostess Exclusive Stamp Set Hand-Delivered… I LOVE this font SO much! and the card is completed with a trio of Self-Adhesive Sequins (which I am a little addicted to!)

What’s you favourite finishing touch?

Lift Me Up Birthday Card using Embossing Paste

How to use embossing paste to create a fun Hot Air Balloon birthday card using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Lift Me Up Birthday Card using Embossing Paste

 

I LOVE a bit of embossing paste as much as the next person, but I do have to admit that my pot has been a little (by this I mean a LOT) neglected over recent months…. to the point where when I opened it I thought it has completely dried out… and after I made this card I decided that it had got to the end of it’s life and that it needed to go! However… I will be re-purchasing because the effects you can create with it are fabulous!

Hot Air Balloon Birthday card using Lift Me Up from Stampin' Up!

So, using my rather dry Stampin’ Up! Embossing Paste, and the cloud mask from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks, did allow me to create some extra texture as the dry paste holds a shape better than when it’s really wet. It also dried a LOT quicker… not that I would recommend using dry embossing paste of course! It’s MUCH easier to spread when it’s fresh… it’s also much easier to clean off your mask and palette knife!

Fun Birthday Card using Embossing Paste and Lift me up from Stampin' Up!

Because the background is so busy, I’ve kept the rest of the card simple, with a die cut balloon and sentiment from Lift Me Up! die cut using the coordinating Up and Away Thinlits.
