This years Christmas Countdown isn’t going slightly as smoothly as I had planned… but I am carrying on, and hoping that I’ll get another one to you next week!

Adorable Christmas Table Favours using Patterned paper and Dashing Deer from Stampin' Up!

How cute are these? Our Christmas will be a little dis-jointed this year as James works nights over the festive period, however, I still have plans for our own Christmas day (a few days after the big day) with a festive table and lots of James’ cooking! These will be taking pride of place on the table with a couple of after dinner chocolates in each one

Simple Classic Christmas Card using Dashing Deer

How to make a fun Shimmery Christmas card using Dashing Deer from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Simple Classic Christmas Card using Dashing Deer

Super Shimmery Christmas Card using Dashing Deer from Stampin' Up!

Today’s Dashing Deer card is another simple, classic card layout…. with a heap of added shimmer! Yes, I’ve been playing with those Stampin’ Up! Shimmer paints again. This time I’ve actually painted with them, and coloured the die cut deer with Frost White Shimmer Paint.

The rest of the card is a lovely mix of Gray Granite and Cherry Cobbler, with a piece of Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper to complete the look.

Simple Classic Handmade Christmas Card using Dashing Deer from Stampin' Up!

I love that the Deer is almost silver in colour. It was die cut from Gray Granite card stock, I’m sure that if I had used Cherry Cobbler this card would have looked very different

Do check back tomorrow for a fun 3D Dashing Deer idea!

Modern Musical Christmas Card with Dashing Deer from Stampin’ Up!

Musical Dashing Deer Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Modern Musical Christmas Card with Dashing Deer from Stampin’ Up!

Modern Christmas Card with a Musical Feel using Dashing Deer from Stampin' Up!

Today’s card was a super quick one to put together… don’t you just love a simple, pretty card when your in a hurry? There are 2 stamp sets at work here; Dashing Deer (it is Dashing Deer week after all!) and the fun Sheet Music Background Stamp.

I’m loving some background details at the moment; this one involved making a mask by die cutting  a large circle in a sheet of copier paper, and then stamping through the hole with the Sheet Music and Berry Burst Ink.

Non-traditional Christmas Card using Dashing Deer from Stampin' Up!

In the interests of keeping things simple; this card was then completed with a stamped and die cut dear, simple sentiment and a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots.

I hope you’re enjoying a week of Dashing Deer ideas. This weeks Stampin’ Inspiration email will have a fun exclusive video tutorial also featuring this fabulous bundle! Do subscribe to see it

Make It Monday | Pretty Sparkly Christmas Card with Dashing Deer

Make it monday shimmery Dashing Deer Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Pretty Sparkly Christmas Card with Dashing Deer

Make It Monday banner

Oh yes, I am back with a whole week of fabulous projects using the gorgeous Dashing Deer bundle from Stampin’ Up! I am in love with these stamps, particularly that pretty deer stamp that I’ve used on this card today.

The Dashing Deer bundle contains the Dashing Deer stamp set and Detailed Deer Thinlits dies, AND if you use the special bundle item code (see the links at the bottom of this post) you can save 10% over buying them separately! Awesome!

Fun and Shimmery Christmas Card using Dashing Deer from Stampin' Up!

Like I said, I have a whole week of Dashing Deer project ideas this week, including a fabulous video exclusively for my email subscribers too! You can subscribe to my Stampin’ Inspiration emails right HERE!

This card, for all it features the Dashing Deer bundle, really is all about that shimmery background! I grabbed a couple of pots of the new Stampin’ Up! Shimmer paints a few weeks ago, but only managed to get around to testing them out this past weekend. I have to say, I am totally in LOVE with them, and have another card that uses them later in the week.

Video Tutorial

The background is really easy to put together, for all it looks complicated. Once I had embossed the piece of Blackberry Bliss card stock using the Swirls and Curls Embossing Folder, I used a sponge to gently add Shimmer Paint to the raised areas. I have to admit to being a little heavy handed with this…. but I like the sparkle, so Sorry, Not Sorry!

This card is completed with that pretty stamped deer, a Vellum scalloped circle and a Gold heat embossed sentiment also from Dashing Deer.

Don’t forget to check back tomorrow for another Dashing Deer idea, and subscribe to my Stampin’ Inspiration emails for weekly card making inspiration, ideas and offers

Inspire Create Challenge Sketch Challenge 029

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a fun sketch… I hope to see lots of you take part and add your creations to the Inspire.Create.Challenge Blog. You don’t need to blog to enter, you could upload your image to a gallery, Pinterest, or even Facebook (as long as the image is set to public of course).

Fun Christmas Card using Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

I decided to keep things simple this week, and just let the Designer Series Paper do all the talking. This fun print is from the Under the Mistletoe Paper pack, which you might have missed if your looking in the Autumn Winter catalogue because its in the Christmas section of the Annual one instead.

Quick and Easy Christmas Card using fun Patterned Paper from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is in the Autumn Winter catalogue, its taken from Timeless Tidings, which I am getting heaps of use out of, although it is designed to go with the Timeless Tidings kit (which I still haven’t got round to making up yet!).

So, short and sweet today, do go and check out the other creations from the Design Team over at the Inspire.Create.Challenge blog… they have made some stunning projects this week.

Make It Monday | Quick and Simple with Rooted in Nature

Quick and Simply Just for You Card with a tree using Rooted in Nature from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Quick and Simple with Rooted in Nature

Make It Monday banner

I love a quick and simple card, one that you can whip up in a snap, one that looks good no matter what stamp set you use (as long as it a Stampin’ Up! set, obviously!), and one that you can use for a multitude of different occasions. I think that this card fits that bill.

I have been having loads of fun using the Nature’s Poem Suite this month, while it’s my fabulous Suite Share! You can still get your share HERE! My suite shares change every month and feature a fun mix of Designer Series Paper, Card stocks, ribbons and embellishments, and while the stamps and dies aren’t included as standard you can, of course, add them as an extra.

This card had a lovely colour combination; Blackberry Bliss, Gray Granite and Mossy Meadow, with a Whisper White base. Colours are super important when your making simple cards like this one, sticking to a handful of colours is an easy way of keeping things simple, coordinated and fresh.

Yes, it is World Card Making Day… and to celebrate I did a special Facebook Live! (Special because I usually go Live on a Sunday Morning, but we are off to see our new Niece tomorrow…. so pulling it forward a day seemed the right thing to do!).

We made 4 fun cards this week, and used a mountain  of goodies, and created on hell of a mess in my craft room! However, I LOVE doing these… so much that from next week I’ll be going Live each and every Sunday morning at 11AM.

How to make a fun wreath Birthday Card using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

The first 2 cards used the same design, but both show how you can completely change a card by changing which stamp set you use! The 1st Christmas card uses the Peaceful Noel Stamp Set, with the Birthday version features Petal Palette. Both use the Merry Christmas Thinlits and Joyeous Noel Glimmer Paper.

An Oops!, An Update and some Happy Mail!

StampinByHannah An Oops!, An Update and some Happy Mail!

An Oops!

Hello! So, I have a bit of an Oops! for you today… I had planned to restart my Christmas Countdown series this week. But, for several reasons I haven’t managed to get the video filmed and uploaded. This is partly down to my poor planning, but also, do you remember on Monday I promised a video, and that it’s also yet to be seen….. yeah, well, I’m having some upload issues. I should have them resolved over the weekend (when I’ve worked out what is going wrong) and I WILL have extra videos for you next week to make up for it! PROMISE!

An Update

Stampin' Up! World Card Making Day Sale 2018

Happy Mail!

I LOVE getting cute things in the post, and last week I received 2 gorgeous cards from some of my Stampin’ Sisters…. and I just HAD to share them with you too….

Share what you love friend card from Janice Thomson

This lovely card was sent to me by the gorgeous Janice Thomson of Jazzle Dazzle crafts, as a Thank You for organising out Team Blog Hop a few weeks ago. I LOVE doing these, and Thank You cards are really not necessary, but it’s still always nice to get something through the post! Janice has used the Share What You Love Suite on this card… and one of my absolute favourite pieces of Designer Series Paper!

Frosted Floral Pocket card from Sam Roberts

The second card came from Sam Roberts, of Sam’s Crafty Things. Sam shared a whole week of Thinking of You projects last week and I was so excited to receive one of them! This card uses the fun Pocket Card design from one of our Team Make and Takes from our retreat a few weeks ago, paired with this stunning paper from the Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper Pack. Just Lovely!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope to see you over on Facebook tomorrow!
