Inspire.Create.Challenge #131 | Fond of Autumn

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for another Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week Jo has challenged us with a brilliant sketch… I have twisted it slightly, but I think you can still see the sketch in it!

I am so sad that the Fond of Autumn stamps and dies are part of the Last Chance sale… and therefore might even have sold out by the time this post goes live! But, I just had to use it one more time. Here I’ve coloured the images with Melon Mambo, Orchid Oasis, Mint Macaron, Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends

Check out the rest of the Design Team projects over on the Inspire.Create blog and add your own makes too!

Quick and Easy Swap card using Framed Florets from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah on a Wednesday evening… I know, I don’t usually blog at this time. However, I do usually go Live on YouTube but today is my son’s 2nd Birthday and so I have given myself the night off! I am thanking myself a few weeks ago for pre-recording a video of my Swap card from a recent Team event! I can be organised!

I made 6 of these cards, 5 for the swap and one to send a new Team Member. They use the Framed Florets bundle, and the coordinating Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. This paper is absolutely GORGEOUS… but it is while stocks last so I would highly recommend grabbing it sooner rather than later.

I love to send little gifts out to customers, and team members. Now is a great time to think about joining as we start the Pre-Order for the new January-April catalogue tomorrow! You can find more information about becoming a part of the team HERE!

Crafty Challenges | Colour Challenge with Happy Forest Friends

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Crafty Challenge blog hop. This month Stephanie challenged us with a colour combination that I found incredibly challenging! I really don’t know why I found it so hard… other than these being colours I really don’t use all that often, but I did manage to pull something together in the end

I pulled the Happy Forest Friends suite for this one… I think inspired by the greens and brown in the colour combination.

Share it Sunday | More fun with Kindest Gnomes!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Share it Sunday blog hop. I have had parts of this card floating around on my desk for a while. I actually coloured the Gnome and the Toadstool at the last in person team event, which was back in September! Last weekend I co-hosted a virtual team stamping day, and managed to get them onto a card.

As well as the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and Gnome dies, this card uses the Stylish Shapes dies and Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper, with a hint of in blending in the background

InspireINK | Advent with the Kindest Gnomes!

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this weekend for the fabulous InspireINK blog hop. This month we are celebrating all things Advent as we are now firmly in the countdown to Christmas! I have to admit, I was skipping this month, however, I was in Sainbury’s yesterday and spotted the very cute Daily Milk Little Robins… and just had to make cute box to put them in!

This very dinky box is one I have shared before… although it was back in 2017! Gosh, that feels like a very long time ago… before we moved house or had children. It’s super easy to put together, and opens from the bottom so you don’t need to worry about how to keep the top closed.

I’ve gone for a Pool Party box, and used the Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper to decorate. Keeping it simple, mostly because its a bit last minute… but also, because this paper is so gorgeous it needed to be centre stage!

Measurements:

Card stock; 17 x 15 cm

Score on the long side at; 4. 8. 12 and 16 cm

Score on the short side at 2, 6, 10 and 13 cm

Inspire.Create.Challenge #130 | Full of Love

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today, for what, for me, is a bitter sweet blog post. Today is the 130th Challenge with Inspire.Create.Challenge, but also my very last challenge as the challenge coordinator. I have absolutely LOVED running the challenge for the past 5 years, but life is super busy and I just don’t have the time and energy to dedicate to it anymore. So, today I hand over to the delightfully wonderful Jo Blackman.

So, today’s card is for the wonderful Inspire.Create Design Team, both past and present, who have supported both the challenge and me over the years.

This card uses the Full of Love stamp set. I stamped a bunch of these envelopes last week, and fussy cut them ready for me to create something. Honestly, I just fancied doing some fussy cutting that evening. So today, when I sat down to make my card, I just had to colour it in! Of course, I have used a bunch of Stampin’ Blends to do that; Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron, Orchid Oasis and Crumb Cake.

The card base is Sahara Sand, and I added a Basic White layer with some Orchid Oasis ink blending underneath the Full of Love envelope.

Please pop over to the Inspire.Create blog and check out the rest of the Design Team’s creations this week.

You can find the Supply List for this card HERE

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | Painted Poppies

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Stampin’ Dreams blog hop. This month our theme is ‘In Memoriam’ and so the only stamp set I could reach for was Painted Poppies. I love this stamp set for sympathy cards, its just so perfect.

One of the reasons I love the Painted Poppies stamp set so much is that it has 2 step stamping, with a couple of more solid images that you can use to ” colour” those floral and leaf stamps.

The coordinating dies are also fabulous, and I’ve paired it here with the Peaceful Moments for the sentiment

Stampin’ Inspiration | Hand Penned Petals for Global Design Project

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah. This evening’s YouTube Live was so much fun… although I did make a bit of a boo boo! You can’t see it on the final card though, so really, unless you watch the video you wont know what I did wrong.

Anyway, today’s card is inspired by 2 fabulous challenges. 1. This weeks Global Design Project, and 2. The 30 Days of Christmas Card Making colour combination.

I haven’t used the Hand Penned Petals stamp set for ages… but I thought it would work well for this, particularly with the hint of watercolour on that flower.

The colours here at Polished Pink, Blackberry Bliss and Fresh Freesia, with a bit of Crumb Cake for some balance

International Blog Highlight | Thank You Sun Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I haven’t joined in with the Blog Highlight for a little while, and I’ve really missed it! So, here we are, back again with a fun Thank You card I made on Sunday afternoon.

I love the Natures Prints stamp set and the coordinating dies (especially that wreath!) but I really struggle to get it used. So, I turned to a sketch I’ve used fair bit this year, of a layer of card stock and a layer of Designer Series Paper… and then had a play about with where the wreath could/should be…

The Sun Prints suite only has a few colours; Gray Granite, Night of Navy, Pacific Point and Starry Sky. Here I’ve used Gray Granite as the card base, and then stamped in Night of Navy.

Can you see, there are 5 Rhinetones on this card? But they are subtle as I’ve coloured them with a dark Night of Navy Blend pen. I love the effect!

If you love this card as much as I do… please consider voting for it over on Kylie’s blog.
