Lift Me Up Birthday Card using Embossing Paste

How to use embossing paste to create a fun Hot Air Balloon birthday card using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Lift Me Up Birthday Card using Embossing Paste

 

I LOVE a bit of embossing paste as much as the next person, but I do have to admit that my pot has been a little (by this I mean a LOT) neglected over recent months…. to the point where when I opened it I thought it has completely dried out… and after I made this card I decided that it had got to the end of it’s life and that it needed to go! However… I will be re-purchasing because the effects you can create with it are fabulous!

Hot Air Balloon Birthday card using Lift Me Up from Stampin' Up!

So, using my rather dry Stampin’ Up! Embossing Paste, and the cloud mask from the Pattern Party Decorative Masks, did allow me to create some extra texture as the dry paste holds a shape better than when it’s really wet. It also dried a LOT quicker… not that I would recommend using dry embossing paste of course! It’s MUCH easier to spread when it’s fresh… it’s also much easier to clean off your mask and palette knife!

Because the background is so busy, I’ve kept the rest of the card simple, with a die cut balloon and sentiment from Lift Me Up! die cut using the coordinating Up and Away Thinlits.

Make It Monday | Petal Promenade Suite Share…

Make It Monday Simple card using Designer Series Paper with Petal Promenade from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Petal Promenade Suite Share…

Make It Monday banner

Oh today is super exciting! I have my usual Make It Monday post… but also am launching a Brand New Crafty Kit… That I am calling StampinByHannah Suite Shares! Yay! You’ll be able to find these each and every month in the top menu bar at the top of my blog (and probably in the side bar too…. if I remember to sort that out!). You can see all the details of this months Kit in the second half of this blog post, as well as a sneaky peak of what you will get in the video too!

But first… shall we check out a fun card?

Pretty Floral Friendship Card using Petal Promenade from Stampin' Up! with Video Tutorial

I am having SO much fun playing with the new Petal Promenade Designer Series Papers… and the coordinating Beautiful Promenade stamp and die bundle too! I’ve already shared 2 videos with them actually… a really handy Giftbag tutorial last Friday and then a pretty vintage inspired card over the weekend for the Team Video Hop!

The Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper is part of the July Designer Series Paper Buy 3 Get 1 Free offer too… you can chose 4 different packs, and pay for just 3 of them! This year’s Designer Series Papers are certainly some of the best for a while… they are all so pretty, and because they are Stampin’ Up! each pack coordinates with inks, card stock, embellishments and some even have matching stamps and dies too!

Ok, so… what about these Crafty kits?

Petal Promenade Suite Share…

These fun monthly kits include a heap of bits and pieces to make a bunch of cards, or other projects, without you having to splurge on mountains of craft supplies. My aim is to keep each kit at £20, plus £3.50 for postage. This month’s Petal Promenade Kit includes:

  • 1/4 pack of the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (cut into 6 x 6″ pieces, so you get 2 of each of 12 designs)
  • 24 pre-cut and scored card bases in coordinating colours; Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow and Thick Very Vanilla
  • 24 Very Vanilla Envelopes
  • A pack of Petal Pink Rhinestone Gems
  • A roll of Rose Metallic Thread
  • PLUS an Exclusive inspiration sheet with 5 cards not seen here on my blog!

Petal Promenade Suite Share Stampin' Up! Craft Box cardmaking subscription box

You can of course always all the coordinating Beautiful Promenade Stamp Set, or the Beautiful Layers Thinlits, or the Stamp and Die Bundle to your kit too… and the postage will stay the same.

To order your July StampinByHannah Petal Promenade Suite Share, all you need to do it complete the form below. I will send you a PayPal invoice within 24 hours of your request. All kits will ship during the first week of August. Ordering will close at midnight on 24th July.

Pretty Vintage Card using Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

How to create a pretty vintage floral card using Petal Promenade from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Pretty Vintage Card using Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

 

Hello! Yes, a blog post on a Saturday… and a video too! A little while ago the lovely Janice Thomson from the team suggested that we do a video hop again (we did one around this time last year, and it was SO much fun….) and with the current Designer Series Paper special, the time seemed right to do it in July!

Check out my video below, but be sure to check out the other videos too… you can find them all on my YouTube channel in the Playlist section How to use Designer Series Paper on a card using Petal Promenade from Stampin' Up!

I am totally in LOVE with the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper… I actually used it on a gift bag yesterday too! This pack of patterned paper is a beautiful mix of photo-real florals and very pretty marble effects…. and while it’s not my usual style I am totally obsessed and will certainly be using the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Designer Series Paper Sale to stock up on some more!

My other favourite part of this card is that Die cut Mossy Meadow doily! Oh my goodness it’s pretty, and just about the perfect accent piece for every. single. card. I will probably ever make! I have heaps of inspiration coming to you using this paper and the Beautiful Promenade Bundle during July as I have chosen it for my Suite of the Month… more coming about that on Monday!

Pretty Vintage Floral card using Beautiful Promenade from Stampin' Up!

Before I let you go and check out everyone else’s fabulous videos… I do just want to let you know that I have a Facebook Live planned for Sunday… over on my StampinByHannah Facebook Page at 11AM… I look forward to seeing you then!
