Inspire.Create.Challenge #138 | Irresistible Blooms card

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge! This time we have a fun inspiration challenge, which I have taken as a sketch idea, and used the brand new Irresistible Blooms stamps and dies… and the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Papers which are beautiful!

The background is a half and half combination of the Designer Series Paper and one of the new Basic 3D Embossing folders (these are stunning… and absolutely worth checking out!)

The flowers are stamped in Petal Pink onto Basic White card stock, and then coloured using Blending Brushes and Daffodil Delight and Petal Pink ink.

Don’t forget to hop over to the Inspire.Create blog to check out the rest of the Design Team creations, and I hope to see you again soon

Global Design Project #384 | Warm Welcome Birthday Card idea

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Global Design Project Challenge entry. This week they have a fun Inspiration challenge, using this fab card by Kim Fee.

I’ve used 2 stamp sets on this card… the Warm Welcome stamp set for the birthday cake and the flowers, and Something Fancy for the sentiment. The Birthday cake is coloured using Mint Macaron, Pool Party and Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends.

The background of this card uses one of the new embossing folders, called the Basic 3D Embossing Folders which are available as part of the current Online Exclusive! I’ve added a hint of Mint Macaron with a blending brush to add that circular element from Kim’s card.

The card is finished with die cuts from the Something Fancy dies, and a sprinkle of Iridescent Rhinestones

Inspire.Create.Challenge #137 | On the Farm

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge! Goodness me it feels like forever since I wrote a blog post… and I’m feeling a little rusty if I’m totally honest. February has been an absolute disaster of a month for me; I caught COVID for the first time at the start of the month, and it’s taken me a good few weeks to get my head back together.

This week Inspire.Create.Challenge is a theme challenge, and we are playing with ‘Spring Time’… and what is more Spring than field full of sheep (at least around here anyway!). So I reached for the On the Farm bundle from the January-April mini-catalogue

Because I haven’t crafted all that much this month, I did turn to Pinterest for a bit of inspiration for this card, and spotted a card with the animals stacked. I thought it was such a fun idea, and so took this as inspiration to create this card.

The background is a brand new Embossing Folder coming on the 1st March as part of a fun new promotion called Online Exclusives! I’ll be sharing more about it very soon.

Don’t forget to hop over to the Inspire.Create blog to check out the rest of the Design Team creations, and I hope to see you again soon

Inspire.Create.Challenge #135 | Love for You

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge sketch. Do hop over to the Inspire.Create blog and see the sketch and the rest of the Design Team’s creations (and add your own projects too!).

I have been loving creating with the Love for You bundle. The flower stamps in this one are really lovely and the words dies are just perfect.

The Designer Series Paper in the background is from Sun Prints, and uses Night of Navy. I do love a Night of Navy moment, here I’ve paired it with Balmy Blue, Soft Succulent and Blushing Bride… oh, and a hint of Gold too!

This card is finished with a trio of the Adhesive-backed Milky Dots.

Global Design Project #378 | Beautifully Happy

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Global Design Project idea. This week their challenge is a sketch. When I saw this on Monday I jumped onto Facebook Live and made this card. I would LOVE to share the video, but the Facebook pixies are being a bit naughty and I appear to have some sort of tech issue… which I have no idea how to solve! So, I will aim to re-record the video over the next couple of days.

The Beautifully Happy stamp set is currently available for FREE when you spend £90 during Sale-a-bration!

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | Thank you Lovely Linen!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Crafty Challenge blog hop. This month we were given a number of different ideas and basically told to pick the ones we liked and felt inspired by, and then create! So that I what I did… Inspired by the terms; Sponging, Thank You, Pearls and Standard Horizontal.

I love this piece of Designer Series Paper, from Lovely Linen (Annual Catalogue) and I’ve sponged (well, ink blended because I couldn’t be bothered to dig out my sponges!), the edges with Evening Evergreen ink.

The Thank You is from Something Fancy, and die cut using the coordinating dies.

This card is finished with a little White Crinkle Seam Binding ribbon, and a trio of Iridescent Pearls.

Global Design Project #377 | Repeat stamping with Alphabest

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. I thought I would share the card I made last night, inspired by this weeks Global Design Project colour challenge using So Saffron, Balmy Blue and Granny Apple Green.

I saw a card on Instagram using Alphabest, and was reminded that I have this set completely un-inked on my shelf. The alphabet is cute, but for me this stamp set wins on the “background” pieces. So cute!

Cute Hello card using Alphabest from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have added Sahara Sand to the colour combination, just to break it up a little, and finished this card with a bow of White Crinkle Seam Binding and a trio of Milky Dots.

InspireINK | New Year New Project with Hand Drawn Dots from Stampin’ Up!

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah and our first InspireINK blog hop of 2023! This month we are celebrating all things new with a fun theme of New Year New Project. So, I’ve reached for my absolute favourite new stamp in my craft room… Hand Drawn Dots! This is one of those stamp sets that leapt out at me the first time I looked through the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue, it just HAD to have a spot on my stamp shelf.

Hello card using Hand Drawn Dots from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

While I was on a theme of favourites, it felt only right to pull my all time favourite Stampin’ Up! colour; Blackberry Bliss, and a set of dies that landed in my room this week that I hadn’t used yet; Alphabet a la Mode. These dies are AWESOME! I would highly recommend getting some Adhesive Sheet to use with them though because they are very thin.

The Dots are stamped in Rich Razzleberry, whilst the rest of the card is Blackberry Bliss. I felt that it needed a little more texture and so I added some ruffles of White Seam Binding ribbon behind the letters. The head embossed sentiment is from Thanks a Bunch (Which is FREE as part of Sale-a-bration!)

Valentines Blog Hop | Love You a Bunch…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for today’s Valentines Blog hop. In the UK we tend to only send a single Valentines card to our partner… and this might be an option for the card I send my husband this year.

Valentines card ideas using Thanks a Bunch from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2023 with StampinByHannah

I’ve used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set, which is currently FREE as part of Sale-a-bration. I wasn’t sure about Carrots as a theme for stamps when I first saw it… but its a super fun set to stamp! Here I’ve stamped the carrots in So Saffron and Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral, but I’ve seen some fabulous purple carrots on Social Media too!

The background is something I’ve been meaning to try for ages. Such a simple idea, lines drawn with a Stampin’ Blend pen. I’ve used Light Old Olive for these (and I used a ruler), but I think I’d go darker and bolder next time.
