Make It Monday | Team Swaps with Rooted in Nature from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Wonderful Card using Rooted In Nature from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Team Swaps with Rooted in Nature from Stampin’ Up!

3 weeks ago Stampin’ Up! released the 2018 Annual Catalogue…. and this month the team and I have got together to swap cards using new products! I LOVE swapping, particularly with the team, they always have fabulous ideas and swaps are a great way to get some quick inspiration.

I made 7 swap cards… 5 for my swap group, 1 for the lovely Amanda who coordinates our team swaps and one for my team leader too.

I am absolutely LOVING this bundle! I shared THIS fun miniature card using it a few weeks ago on a Facebook Live… but I just couldn’t resist using it again for these team swaps!

I’ve been playing with the new Stampin’ Up! Embossing Mats again too… I shared a fun video on Friday that used a die designed to cut for embossing, but today’s card uses the dies in the Nature’s Roots that are Designed to emboss. They work using a standard Big Shot cutting sandwich… but they are even better if you use the new Embossing Mats!

What would you use this fabulous Rooted in Nature Bundle for?

InspireInk Blog Hop | Creating a fabulous BIG Birthday Card…

Big Birthday Card using Happy Birthday Thinlit from Stampin' Up! for the InspireINK blog Hop

StampinByHannah InspireInk Blog Hop Creating a fabulous BIG Birthday Card…

Ok, so this month’s InspireINK blog hop theme was Milestone Birthdays… and while I love a good milestone, I don’t have ANY in my family or friends this year. I think that the next person to celebrate a birthday in our family will be 34 (or maybe 35…. I can’t remember!). Anyway…. I sort of changed Milestone for BIG…. and so this card was created…

I haven’t used Happy Birthday Thinlit die in a while… but I am so glad it’s carried forward into the new Annual Catalogue, it just makes some really simple, but really effective birthday cards. Here I’ve die cut it 4 times; 3 time from Very Vanilla card stock, and once from a piece of Mint Macaron card stock that I had added some ink blending to. I have to add that I did pop some Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet onto the back of the card stock before I die cut it… just makes stacking these die cuts SO much easier!

I put a heap of sequins into one of my recent Stampin’ Up! orders…. I LOVE sequins on cards, and self-adhesive ones are just fantastic! Then I remembered that I had grabbed the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder to an order a while ago, and hadn’t used it (I know, it’s shocking isn’t it!) and so I ripped the plastic off it, and ran it through my Big Shot…. for a completely Sequined card!

I can’t wait to see what the other girls in the InspireINK team have created for this challenge…. why not hop along with me and find out!

Techniques | How to Emboss using Stampin’ Up! dies…

How to make a fun floral Kindness card and Emboss with dies using Abstract Impressions from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Techniques How to Emboss using Stampin’ Up! dies…

Hello! I haven’t done a proper Techniques post in AGES! But, I have a couple coming up for you, because we have a really cool new tool that works with the Big Shot… and i just cannot get enough!

One of the many new and fabulous items in this years Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue is the Big Shot Embossing Mats. They come in a pack of 3, and work with the Stampin’ Up! Big Shot Platform to allow you to create some really cool embossed effects using your cutting and embossing dies. The Springtime Impressions die I’ve used on this card is designed to cut… and actually I have already used it that way on THIS card from Tuesday… but it looks AMAZING embossed!

Check the video to see how easy it is to do…

There are several Big Shot sandwiches that work to emboss your dies, and which one you will use depends on what kind of die you are using…. I have another one on Monday using some of the embossing dies.

This card used the following:

Big Shot Platform (without the Thin Die Adaptor)
Standard Cutting Plate
Die (cutting side up)
Card stock
BLUE Embossing Mat
White Impressions Plate

I couldn’t not add a bit of stamping though using the coordinating Abstract Impressions Stamp Set. I LOVE that this stamp set comes bundled with these dies, they are so cool and work so perfectly together even though the dies don’t actually cut any of the stamped images. PLUS by buying the bundle you save 10%…. that’s a win win in my book!

The Project Share Project | 3D papercrafts…

Flip Top box using New Ink Colours from Stampin' Up! with Intatwyne Designs

StampinByHannah The Project Share Project 3D papercrafts…

This week’s Project Share’s are totally inspired by a project from the lovely Sally Shaw…. I love 3D papercrafts, but it really is outside of my crafty comfort zone! The girls however, make some wonderful 3D things….

Sally Shaw

I just LOVE how Sally has used the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder on this box! Check Sally’s blog for all the details

Helen Slimm

This box features some Designer Series Paper that is no longer available, but the stamp set is still very much current, and I thought it was such a fun idea I just HAD to share!

Angelina Clark

The queen of 3D has struck again with these fun Flip Top boxes… check Angelina’s blog for some other colour inspiration!

Go for Greece | Pretty Floral card with Abstract Impressions

Fun Floral Thank You card using Springtime Impressions from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Go for Greece Pretty Floral card with Abstract Impressions

Oh Man! I cannot believe I managed to miss this blog hop last month! May totally killed me…. I’m blaming the settling in period of this new job, but really I think it just slipped my mind. It’s ok though because I’m back this month, and I have new goodies to share with you to!

Tomorrow I’m sharing the goodies I got in my first Annual Catalogue order with the lovely people who have subscribed to my weekly Stampin’ Inspiration emails, but I’ll give you a little sneaky peak….

Last week the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team made some awesome card with the new Abstract Impressions bundle…. and I took inspiration from a few of their creations in the making of this one. My video tutorial on Friday also uses this fab bundle, for a really cool technique!

I LOVE the bundles in the Stampin’ Up! catalogue… Did you know, that if you buy a bundle you save 10% over buying the stamps and dies separately? I think that is totally awesome. So far I have collected a fair few of the bundles in the new catalogue, and I am sure that there will be some more finding a space in my craft room shortly too!

This pretty floral card also uses one of my favourite new colours; Lovely Lipstick is one of the 2018-2020 In Colours. These colours only stick around for 2 years, before they are retired and replaced. This helps to keep the Stampin’ Up! colour line really fresh and on trend…. but this colour has quickly become a true favourite, and I just KNOW that I’ll be stocking up on card stock and re-inkers soon!

The large corner die from the Springtime Impressions dies (part of that bundle!) was cut from a piece of Very Vanilla card stock that I had popped some Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet on the back off. Once it was cut I added colour using Stampin’ Sponges for this fun effect.

The background is stamped in Blushing Bride, and then I have added some details in Gold…. oh and that pretty Heat Embossed sentiment too!

Check out the creations of some of the other ladies in the Go for Greece group below….

Make It Monday | Thank You cards using Lined Alphabet from Stampin’ Up!

Card Making Video Tutorial using Lined Alphabet Stamps from Stampin' Up! Thank You Card

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Thank You cards using Lined Alphabet from Stampin’ Up!

Each and every month I send hand made Thank You cards to everyone who shops with me, these usually hit the Post Office in the 2nd week of the following month; May’s cards hit the post office last week… So, I’m hoping that these are now safe to share!

These cards use the brand new Lined Alphabet from Stampin’ Up! along with some fun other products; check the video for the full instructions!

These cards feature one of the items in my 4th Stampaversary Giveaway…. which is running throughout the month of June! I cannot believe I am 4 years into this crazy Stampin’ Up! world, I love it even more now than I did when I started. This past weekend I spent some time looking, evaluating and planning for the next 12 months….and I know that there are heaps of fun things coming! I now do a fortnightly Facebook Live, and I have some fun Online Classes and events coming soon too!

Like I said at the start of this post, everyone who shops with me receives a hand made card as a special Thank You, but some lovely people also get extra gifts! How, I hear you ask?! Well, they either spend over £150 or they use the Code Club Code….. and then others collect their orders together and cash in for StampinByHannah VIP rewards too! You can always find the Code Club Code in the sidebar of this blog… and it’s often included at the bottom of my weekly Stampin’ Inspiration emails too!

I hope that the ladies that received these cards this month…. as well as their extra gifts… love them! and I can’t wait to send the next set out at the end of this month

Inspire.Create.Challenges #020…. take 2 In Every Season!

Fun Floral Thank You Card using In Every Season from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenges #020…. take 2 In Every Season

So, earlier this week I shared a card I made for Inspire.Create.Challenge #020…. and I promised that I would share the first card I made too….

This card uses the new stamp set In Every Season. This set has now sentiments, but features 12 seasonal floral images… that work for all year round, as well as for particular events and seasons, like Christmas!

I’ve been playing around with colour a little bit recently… thanks to the Stampin’ Up! Colour Re-vamp… and this colour combination is one that came out of nowhere; Blackberry Bliss, Powder Pink, and Mossy Meadow

The sentiment is taken from Perennial Birthday, and I’ve heat embossed it in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

This card is finished with a bow in Blackberry Bliss Nature’s Twine.

Stamparatus 101 | Stamping on 12 x 12 Card Stock…

Fun Stamped Scrapbook page using Flower stamps from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Stamparatus 101 Stamping on 12 x 12 Card Stock…

Ok… so this week’s Stamparatus 101 video was inspired by a question I was asked by a viewer on YouTube; How do you stamp on 12 x 12?

I hope that the video answers the question… but I also have a fun Scrapbook page for you to!

This page came together really quickly, partly because instead of measuring and carefully cutting each layer I chose to rip the card stock and Designer Series Paper…. but also because I wanted to focus on that stamping in the background.

The video tutorial shows exactly how I used the Stamparatus to create this fun stamped effect… but I used the Petal Palette Stamp set, along with two new purple tones; Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather, to pick up on some of the purple tones in the photograph

Tips:

Test stamp on an old piece of Designer Series Paper, or cut down Grid Paper before you stamp on your good card stocks
Try turning the card stock to create different looks and patterns using stamps
Use a mixture of stamping techniques to create depth and texture

I have a heap of crafty plans for tomorrow… what are you crafting this weekend?

StampinByHannah The Project Share Project New Stampin’ Up! Goodies!!!

Oh dear… I almost missed the Project Share Project this week! Thanks to a message from Sally (that I picked up at 04:20AM) I managed to get this sorted though!

The girls have been super creative this week, shall we see what they’ve created?

Helen Slimm

Helzie has put this super cute box together this week, I love the layering under the sentiment!

Angelina Clark

Angelina’s been making HEAPS of fun 3D projects recently, but this one really stood out for me. I LOVE a cute notebook and I can’t get enough of the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper!

Sally Shaw

I think this idea from Sally is just genius! What a great way to store you 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and a fun addition to your crafty storage too

Click one each of the images to be taken to the details for each of the projects, and I hope to see you again soon!

Inspire.Create.Challenges #020 | Sketch Challenge with Rooted in Nature

How to make a pretty thank you card with a tree from Rooted in Nature from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenges #020 Sketch Challenge with Rooted in Nature

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a fun and fabulous sketch challenge! You can check the challenge and the other Design Team Members projects out over at Inspire.Create.Challenges

Ok, so I have a confession… this is the second card I made for this challenge (I plan to share the other one with you on Saturday!)… but this one is my favourite! This happens to me often, when I make a card for an occasion, go away, fall out of love with it and make something else! I’m sure I’m not the only person this happens to!

I do have a bit of an obsession with the Rooted in Nature bundle…. but I’m not apologising for sharing it with you! This bundle HAS to be one of my top picks from the new Stampin’ Up! 2018 Annual Catalogue!

This large tree in particular is one of my favourite pieces, along with it’s coordinating die! I’ve kept the colour combination simple; with Sahara Sand, Tranquil Tide and Whisper White.

The card is finished with a bow in Crumb Cake Nature’s Twine
