So Hoppy Together Customer Thank You Cards

Sorry for the slight delay in today’s blog post… I should have written this yesterday, but I had a terrible bout of Pregnancy Fatigue yesterday afternoon and I just needed to sleep! Things are better today though, and have a day in my craft room planned, so I’m getting this written so that I can get to crafting!

Stampin' Up! Customer Thank You cards using So Hoppy Together from Sale-a-bration 2019 with StampinByHannah

I had great fun a few weeks ago at a local craft fair, it was during the snow and so foot fall wasn’t great. But, it’s OK because it gave me time to make my January Customer Thank You cards! These stamped up really quickly, the time was taken hand colouring all those cute frogs with Stampin’ Blends!

So Hoppy Together is one of this year’s Sale-a-bration free items, that you can earn when you spend £45 between now and the end of March.

I stamped the frogs in Gray Granite ink, and then used both Light and Dark Granny Apply Green Blends to colour them. No fancy techniques, just laying the colour on.

The Thanks sentiment is from one of my go to Stamp Sets; Thankful Thoughts. Stamped simply in Gray Granite onto an Everyday Label in Very Vanilla

I’ve got another craft fair this coming Saturday at the Durham Tees Hotel on Teesside Airport. Maybe I’ll see you there!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #037 | Incredible Like You

It took me two cards to get something I liked for Inspire.Create 036, and its taken me two cards again today! Sometimes creativity is really hard, and recently my crafty mojo has been somewhat Missing In Action! However, I have managed to create a fun card for today’s colour challenge, and I’m really rather pleased with this one…

Inspire.Create.Challenge Stamping Colour Challenge

This time we are creating with a rather soft colour palette, and I think that was my struggle. However, I knew I wanted to use the Incredible Like You Stamp Set. This set coordinates with a fun Card Kit, but works just as well on its own too!

Pretty Floral Adore You card using Incredible Like You from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I started this card by die cutting that sentiment piece using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits, and then drawing around it onto my card stock in pencil. This allowed me to stamp the flowers exactly where I wanted them around the sentiment.

The flower is stamped using 2 stamps, the first stamped off and then the second layer stamped in full strength ink, both stamped in Mint Macaron.

I just adore you 2 step stamping card using Incredible Like You from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The card is finished with some random stamping of some of the little elements in a somewhat diagonal line across the sentiment and a scattering of sequins too!

Sale-a-bration | Precious Parcel Card Kit!

There are currently 15 fabulous goodies that you can earn for FREE when you shop during Sale-a-bration just for spending £45. One of these fabulous goodies is the Precious Parcel Card Kit…

Now, I will admit that this kit made Zero sense to me in the catalogue! But I grabbed a pack anyway, because if I couldn’t work it out I’m sure that some of you were struggling with it to!

Stampin' Up! Precious Parcel Card Kit Sale-a-bration freebie

I was pleasantly surprised by this kit. It’s so easy to put together, you will have 8 cute cards in a snap! No stamping required!

What had put me off this kit was that I had managed to miss that these cards are actually proper cards, that fold in the middle and stand up! Which they are… but they are more than that, because they also have an extra space to write in the front too

So, how can you get this kit? Well, it’s available for FREE with a £45 order during Sale-a-bration! That’s it, and its yours for FREE!

There are a few questions I hear regularly about Sale-a-bration;

Do I have to spend £45 just in the Spring Summer catalogue?

Nope… there are lots of ways of spending £45 in my online store. You could have just Spring Summer products, or you might want items from the Annual catalogue, or even £45 of goodies from the clearance rack! All orders of £45 made in my online store get to choose a free Sale-a-bration gift!

There are also a few items that require a £90 spend… these are higher priced items, bigger stamp sets, dies and a fun Stamp and Designer Series paper bundle!

If I choose a Starter Kit do I get to pick Sale-a-bration goodies too?

Unfortunately not. But, you do get much much more that just one free gift! You get a fabulous, ongoing discount, inspiration and friendship… and you get to choose £170 worth of Stampin’ goodies and pay just £99! It’s definitely the best deal!

Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration Precious Parcel Card Kit

When does Sale-a-bration end?

Sale-a-bration ends on 31st March 2019… but be warned that some items might sell out before that date! So, if you LOVE one of the goodies, grab it soon!

What can I have for Free?

Just Add Ink 444 | I Like You Oh So Eclectic!

I can’t believe I almost forgot about Just Add Ink this week! But it’s ok… because although it’s now Monday afternoon, I still wanted to join in and share this card with you.

This week’s Just Add Ink was a bit of a head scratcher… use Poppy Parade and Powder Pink plus a colour of your choice! But which colour to choose?!

After spinning my colour caddy a few times I landed on Blueberry Bushel so my colour combination looks like this;

Then came my next dilemma… which stamp set to use?! Now, I’ve used Sale-a-bration goodies a fair bit recently, and then I’ve been playing with some of the new Spring Summer stamps too. So a lot of the stamps from the Annual catalogue have been sat lonely on the shelf! This led me to pull Oh So Eclectic! This is one of my absolute favourite stamp sets, and it has a coordinating set of dies that I also adore… so decision made!

I Like you handmade card using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I made a card over the weekend which I will share with you later in the week, that used Shimmery White card stock and so that was still sat out on my desk, and so this was another jumping off point for this card.

First I added a Powder Pink watercolour wash to that Shimmery White card stock and set it off to dry while I used another scrap piece to stamp those leaves in Blueberry Bushel.

Both the background die and those leaves are die cut using the coordinating Eclectic Layers Thinlits dies. This is one of those packs of dies that work well on their own as well as with the stamp set PLUS they have both cutting and embossing dies too for some fabulously dimensional projects.

Pretty watercolour wash I like you card using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah for Just Add Ink

The card is finished with that cute little sentiment stamped in Poppy Parade and a trio of Rhinestones.

This card also features the lovely new Country Floral Embossing Folder (Free with a £45 order during Sale-a-bration). This folder is one of those thicker ones, so if gives you a whole heap of dimension and works so well with a pretty floral like this.

Rooted in Nature | Man’s Birthday Card

This Man’s Birthday Card has been sat in my pile of cards to blog about for about 2 months. In fact this card was received by the birthday boy before Christmas, and I’ve only just got around to sharing it with you.

Rooted in Nature birthday card for men using Stampin' Up! products with StampinByHannah

I like to keep men’s cards simple, and I love using the Rooted in Nature stamp set for that too. Here I stamped that fabulous wood piece in Gray Granite before layering over the ribbons and sentiment.

Speaking of the sentiment, this one is from the new Itty Bitty Birthday’s stamp set, and its perfect for a simple Happy Birthday! Here I’ve heat embossed it in white onto a scrap of Basic Black card stock

Quick and Simple Birthday Card using Rooted in Nature from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card was then finished with a couple of lengths of ribbon; Burlap and Grosgrain in Call Me Clover, and one of the lovely True Gentlemen Buttons.

Just Add Ink 443 | Colouring Flowing Fountain from Stampin’ Up!

Oh dear, I am so sorry for a lack of a Facebook Live today. But, for the second time in 2 weeks I’ve come down with a cold, and no one wants to hear me cough and splutter through making a card! However, I do have my entry for this week’s Just Add Ink Challenge to make up for it!

Just Add Ink 443 Just Choose Two

It’s been ages since I did this type of challenge! Saying this my choice was made pretty easy seeing as my last post of Embossing Paste went in the bin before we moved house… as it had set like rock! Note to self: buy some more because the stuff is AWESOME! So, that left me with Colouring and Sequins!

Just Add Ink adding colour to Flowing Fountain from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been loving the Flowing Fountain stamp set this month. It’s so easy to colour too! I’ve added coloured highlights using a Blender pen and Night of Navy, Mango Melody and Soft Seafoam ink to match the pretty Designer Series Paper behind.

Take care of yourself card using Flowing Fountain from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I couldn’t help but use the oh so pretty Stitched Rectangles Framelits that arrived in my craft room this week on this card. You guys know that I am such a sucker for a stitched shape and so these HAD to find a place with me! I have to say though, they are slightly awkward to use on A4 card stock as they have been designed to fit US Letter sized papers. However, by purposely positioning them off centre I think you can cover this up.

Before I go, I just want to remind you that tomorrow (11th February 2019) is the last day to book onto this month’s Card Class…. you can find all the information HERE!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #036 | Lovely Lattice

This week the fabulous Design Team over at Inspire.Create are sharing a whole load of Sale-a-bration inspiration. I’ve been struggling to come up with anything for this one… which is silly because the Sale-a-bration goodies on offer this year are AWESOME! I eventually settled on using the ever so pretty Lovely Lattice stamp set, although did have a disaster with Brusho before this card was born!

Pretty Lovely Lattice card using Sale-a-bration goodies and watercolour pencils from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The Lattice stamp was stamped twice in Versamark onto Crumb Cake cardstock and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss powder. I then coloured 3 of the flowers on one of the images with Watercolour Pencils, and added some green leaves on the other image.

I have to admit that these flowers are not the easiest to fussy cut, however I think it’s worth it for the overall effect.

Let's Celebrate card using Lovely Lattice from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration with StampinByHannah

The card is finished with a sentiment stamped on Vellum and punched using the Classic Label punch, a trio of Glitter Enamel dots and full bow of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.

International Blog Highlight | Foiled Encouragement

Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

It has been AGES since I took part in one of Kylie’s International Blog Highlights, and I’ve really missed it! I’m just recovering my full crafty mojo and blogging rhythm after having a (more than) pretty rough early pregnancy, moving house and Christmas, and so Kylie’s theme of Encouragement was just right up my street!

Encouragement Card using Lovely Lipstick Foil Paper FREE during Sale-a-bration from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I am LOVING the Foil Sheets that are FREE during Sale-a-bration this year. You get 8 12×12″ sheets, 4 in Lovely Lipstick and 4 in Grapefruit Grove. It’s so pretty I can’t bring myself to cover it up, so here I’ve used it as part of the focal point of this card.

The card only uses 3 colours, because I really wanted that foil sheet to sing. So the whole card is just Lovely Lipstick, Basic Black and Whisper White.

I Believe in You card using Amazing life from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The sentiment is taken from the stamp set Amazing Life, and it has been heat embossed in White onto a scrap of Basic Black. I love this look for cute little sentiments, it really makes the sentiment pop!

This card is finished with a bow in Lovely Lipstick ribbon and a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots

If you love this card, please would you pop over to Kylie’s blog and vote for me, and your other favourite Encouragement creations over on the Blog Highlight. Thank you so much.
