Inspire.Create.Challenge #082 Sketch Challenge

Hello! Well, it’s been a hot minute hasn’t it since my last Inspire.Create Design Team post. In reality, we took a bit of a break over November and December, but we are super excited to be back this month, and we are kicking off with a simple sketch challenge.

Don’t forget to pop over to the Inspire.Create blog to check out the rest of the Design Team’s creations, and to add your own makes to the link up too.

Quick and Simple Happy Birthday card using Pretty Perennials from Stampin' Up! for Inspire.Create.Challenge with StampinByHannah

I have been having heaps of fun this month creating with the Brand New stamp and die bundle; Pretty Perennials, and so it was handy on my desk when I came to make my card for this challenge.

As it’s such a simple sketch, I’ve kept my card pretty simple too, with some very simple stamping on a Stitched Circle die cut. The background is my first ink blending attempt using the new Stampin’ Up! Blending Brushes… I LOVE them! They are so easy to use, and create a lovely, soft, ink blended effect.

Time to Sale-a-brate Berry Blessings with the Pootlers Blog Hop!

Welcome to StampinByHannah and the first Pootlers Team Blog Hop of 2021! This time we’re sharing a heap of projects using the new Sale-a-bration gifts.

There are a bunch of really cool Stamp Sets and Designer Series Paper packs that you can currently receive for FREE with an order of over £45! How cool is that?!

Berry Blessings

I thought I would create with the Berry Blessings stamp set today. This stamp set comes with a pack of Designer Series Paper and so requires a £90 spend, BUT it also coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and punch bundle from the new Mini Catalogue!

One of the reasons I love this stamp set (and Sweet Strawberry) is that you don’t need to get the markers out to colour the images… as they all have a outline stamp and then a filled stamp to colour the image!

This card uses Misty Moonlight for the card base and the blueberries, and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves and sentiment.

I couldn’t pass the opportunity to stamp with blueberries either… they are my daughters absolute favourite fruit, I think she’d eat them at every meal if she could!

Stampin’ Up! January-June 2021 Mini Catalogue Open Box Facebook Live Replay

Hello! Just a quick blog post from me this morning. I did an impromptu Facebook Live earlier in the week to share the contents of my January-June Mini Catalogue Pre-Order.

I am absolutely loving this new catalogue, it is jam packed with fabulous stamp sets, and gorgeous Designer Series Papers. I have heaps of good stuff planned for the next 6 months, including more Facebook Live and some fun online classes. I really enjoy doing Facebook Live, however with two small people in the house trying to work out the best time to do one is almost impossible. Particularly at the moment when I’m trying to work around naps and feeds. However, I am aiming to get back to regular Facebook Lives in the new year, I just can’t confirm exactly when they are going to be!

Anyway, this weeks video is a quick look at my Pre-Order from the January-June Mini Catalogue. I will be sorting and posting catalogues over the weekend and into Monday, if you want a copy do let me know!

Happy Birthday with Forever Fern from Stampin’ Up!

I don’t know about you, but I definitely make more Birthday cards that any other kind, and so I love stamp sets that work well for this occasion. Forever Fern ticks that box for me, with some handy (non-birthday) sentiments, and a collection of pretty leaf-y images it is one of those Stamp Sets that has multiple uses.

Last week I needed a card for a neighbours birthday, and I wanted something classic, but fun, and so I pulled out Forever Fern and a collection of bright coloured inks and had a play!

Using Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Pretty Peacock, and Seaside Spray, I stamped a collection of leaves, which were then die cut with the coordinating Forever Flourishing dies. This card was really simple to put together, but because of the embossed panel and die cut layers it looks really complicated.

The sentiment is stamped using the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set, and the die cut using the Rectangle Stitched Dies.

For a finishing touch I added one of the Gold Hoop Embellishments and a trio of Gilded Gems

Whale of a time Card for the Global Design Project

Hello! So, I’ve been trying to spend a little more time in my craft room recently, which I have to say, isn’t difficult as it’s been a much under used space in my house in 2020. Crafting has always been my escape, and I’ve really needed that recently, but have really struggled to find anything to create. So I turned to an old faithful; the Global Design Project, and used their challenge for this week as my starting point.

This week’s challenge is to use a card by one of their Design Team members as inspiration. The card was stunning, and I chose to take the card layout; basically using the card as a sketch for a new one.

Love card using Whale of a Time and Whale Done from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I’ve been really enjoying the current selection of Designer Series Papers from Stampin’ Up! and the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper is no exception. For all this paper is a little more ‘theme-y’ that I would normally select, the patterns actually translate really well in small sections and aren’t all too fish-y. There are two separate pieces of the Designer Series Paper on this card; a small strip, and a 2″ punched circle.

I’m also really enjoying adding textures to my projects at the moment, and this card has a panel of embossed card stock using the coordinating Embossing Folder, as well as a piece of ribbon. When I’m embossing white cardstock, I tend to use the Thick Whisper White, just because it is slightly heavier than the standard and therefore gives a really crisp embossed finish.

Cute Love Whale Card using Whale Done from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The stamped Whale comes from the matching Whale Done stamp set. To get the ombre coloured effect I inked the stamp in Pool Party ink, and then added a hint of Shaded Spruce ink using a sponge.

This card is finished with a die cut seaweed from the Smooth Sailing dies.

Curvy Celebrations Blog Hop with the Pootlers!

Join the Number 1 Stampin' Up! Team in the UK

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah and to the Pootlers Team Curvy Celebrations Blog Hop!

I LOVE being a part of this team, we have such fun together. This past week we’ve taken part in a Curvy Celebrations focused event, and so I thought that we should share some of our Curvy creations with you. I’m having a great time creating with the Quite Curvy bundle, and can’t wait to show you even more inspiration!

Once you’ve checked out my project, scroll to the bottom of this post for links to heaps more inspirational crafty projects using the Curvy Celebrations products.

This card was inspired by my very talented friend Verity, who made a really lovely card using the leaf stamp and a blue ink. I am still very much enjoying Misty Moonlight, and so this card was born!

The leave boarder stamp is stamped onto Fluid 100 watercolour paper and heat embossed in White, before I watercoloured the image with Misty Moonlight. I love this technique, but I know it can be a bit intimidating, do let me know if you’d like a Facebook Live tutorial on how I do it.

The Designer Series Paper is taken from the 2020-2022 In Colour stack, and I die cut the edge to add an extra detail. The paper is also layered over some more stamping, and the rough cut sentiment piece.

I almost left this card at that, but it just didn’t feel complete. So, I went hunting through my embellishment stash and came up with these pretty wooden leaves, and In Colour enamel dots.
