Inspire.Create.Challenge | Hello There Sale-a-bration…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time we have a fabulous challenge inspired by the new January-April catalogue or Sale-a-bration.

I haven’t discussed this years Sale-a-bration yet. This fabulous offer lasts from now until the end of February and gives you a free gift (of your choice!) every time you spend £45. There are some items which require a £90 spend, and today’s project uses one of those.

This is Softly Sophisticated bundle; which includes a stamp set and an embossing folder. This stamp set utilises one of my favourite techniques; 2-step stamping.

Here I’ve stamped the leaves in Old Olive, before adding the flowers in Crushed Curry. The sentiment is then heat embossed in black over the top.

The embossing folder is so pretty, here I ink blended the Basic White card stock using Lemon Lolly before running it through the Stampin’ Emboss Machine with the embossing folder.

This hot air balloon stamp is actually 3 stamps, giving you so many options for different colours, as well as coordinating with a couple of different dies too! Here I’ve stuck with a mono-chrome effect using Azure Afternoon.

Mini Catalogue Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah, to 2024 and to the January-April Mini Catalogue Blog Hop!

Things are pretty exciting around here at the moment, lots of changes coming in 2024. I have to admit I had written a massive plan for the year, with classes and events and all sorts. But I have some pretty massive personal goals this year, and so (while I will still be posting and sharing) I have some other things happening in the background which mean that I’m not going to be going at things all guns blazing. Saying all of that, Today is the launch of the new Mini Catalogue, and I couldn’t pass that by without participating in this blog hop!

I made this card in a bit of a hurry, I needed an urgent Congratulations card for my father in law last week and turned to the pages of the new Mini Catalogue as inspiration.

This is part of the Natures Sweetness Suite (page 41-41) and I am completely in love with this Designer Series Paper! It’s a very simple neutral colour palette and some pretty florals, here I’ve used Pebbled Path and a hint of Petal Pink.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #158 | Special card using Textured Floral from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Inspire.Create.Challenge. This time our challenge is to CASE (Copy and Selectively Edit) a fabulous card by the lovely Tammy Fite. Hop over to the Inspire.Create blog to see the inspiration card and check out the rest of the Design Team’s creations (and share your own!)

Tammy’s card featured Designer Series Paper and layered die cut pieces, and this is what inspired me to create the card here…

The Designer Series Paper here is Inked Botanicals, and a colour combination that I wouldn’t reach for usually. Calypso Coral isn’t my favourite hue, however, here paired with Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam I quite like it!

InspireINK Blog Hop | Best of 2023…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s InspireINK blog hop. Each month we pick a different theme, but December we have a bit of a review of the year, and share our favourite projects we’ve shared this year… as a sort of Best of 2023 compilation.

I had a really tricky time choosing my favourite project of the year, I have had so much fun crafting this year. One of my most favourite products has been the Timeless Arrangements bundle, and so I thought I’d share a project using it again.

I do love a layered card, and this card has more layers that I can count! There is a video for this card too, which you can find HERE.

Christmas Blog Hop | A Quick Card using Merriest Trees from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for a very festive themed blog hop! I have made a bunch of Christmas Cards this year… still haven’t actually written any yet, but they are at least made!

Anyway, this card is one I part made about 2 months ago, and just couldn’t work out how to finish it. It’s been sat staring at me sadly on my desk and I finally managed to get a sentiment onto it last week!

It uses the Merriest Tree’s bundle, and Merry Bold and Bright Designer Series Paper for a very non-traditional colour combination…

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | A New Year’s card idea using Gift of Giving from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for the December Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop. This months Theme is ‘New Year Glam’. I had a search through my stamps, but haven’t really got anything that is specifically New Year’s related… so I thought I would stretch one of my favourite Christmas stamp sets from this year Gift of Giving.

I love this mug stamp, but the original stamp has a very Christmas-y sentiment in the middle of it. So, I masked it off and replaced it with the ‘Hello’ stamp from Biggest Wish instead. I really love colouring images like this with my Stampin’ Blends, and here I’ve used Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Crumb Cake and Pool Party for a fresh look.

Technique Tuesday | Two Step Stamping with Trucking along from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to this month’s Technique Tuesday blog Hop. This month the theme is ‘2-step stamping’ which might be one of my favourite techniques ever!

2- step stamping is fabulous technique, but you do need specifically designed stamp sets for it, what is great those is that Stampin’ Up! make a whole heap of different ones and I’m sure that the rest of the blog hop will share lots of different ideas. Once you’ve enjoyed this post, do hop through the rest of the blog hop using the links at the end.

This card uses Trucking Along which can be found in the Online Exclusives section of the online store. I know it was super popular in some places and so might not still be available everywhere, but we can still get it here in the UK. This card was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest.

One of the things I often do with 2-step stamping is stamp the most solid stamp first, and then add the detail over the top… this makes sense with floral images, but can seem a bit odd with an image like this one.
