Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

Oh my goodness, these International Blog Highlights posts are coming round quickly! I have SO much fun with the theme’s Kylie sets each month… and this month is no exception! This month’s theme was Love.

First of all I had though of hearts, and pink, but then I started to dig a little deeper, and rather than make a lovely-dovey card I thought I would make a card to celebrate something I Love… Coffee!

Stampin’ Up! have the PERFECT stamp set for such a card; the Coffee Cafe Stamp set, coordinating Coffee Cups Framelits and Coffee Break Designer Series Paper. I have had SO much fun playing with this bundle and Designer Series Paper, it was my Stamp of the Month for February, and we played with it again during my team Facebook Live last weekend.

Stripes of Early Espresso card stock – (x3) 14.85 x 2 cm

Embossed Resist Berry Burst Birthday

Berry Burst Embossed Resist Birthday Card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Embossed Resist Berry Burst Birthday

 

You guys know how much I love playing with inks… and today’s card features one of my favourite stamping techniques; Embossed Resist!

Berry Burst Embossed Resist Birthday Card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

The Embossed Resist technique is simple to achieve but so much fun, and there are so many different looks you can get that the possibilities are almost endless! So, here the flowers from Beautiful Day were stamped down the left hand side of the piece of Whisper White card stock in Versamark ink, and then heat embossed with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Then Berry Burst ink is added over the top with a sponge… where the heat embossing is resists the ink and therefore remains white while the rest of the card stock becomes coloured.

Berry Burst Embossed Resist Birthday Card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

The rest of the card came together pretty quickly, with the stamped sentiment from the Beautiful Day Stamp Set, Berry Burst Woven Ribbon, and a trio of Petal Passion Embellishments.

Techniques | Double Embossing with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder

How to Video Tutorial Double Embossing with Basket Weave from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Techniques Double Embossing with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder

Stamping Techniques Series

I gave you a bit of a sneak peak of this card on Wednesday… but I have made another version for todays (special) video!

Cardmaking techniques video tutorial using Blossoms Basket from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

This card features the Double Embossing technique. I am LOVING this at the moment, I think it really adds a wow to an embossing folder and it works so well with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder that is part of the Blossoming Basket Bundle available for FREE during Sale-a-bration!

Today’s video is special for a few reasons; 1. spot the sneaky first appearance of my new Stamparatus! (there WILL be more of that very soon… I am LOVING it!) 2. I have been playing around with my video editing, and I would love to hear what you think of the new format! Let me know in the comments here or on the video itself on YouTube!

How to double emboss with the Basket Weave Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up!

I would suggest a couple of top tips for this one….

  1. Make sure you’re embossing folder is clean before each use… I think that is why there is a LOT more embossing powder on the Night of Navy card than the Early Espresso one, I didn’t remove the first layer of Versamark ink in between cards!
  2. Rub your card stock with your Embossing Buddy before you run it through the embossing folder… stop that powder sticking in places you don’t want it!
  3. Take you time, Versamark is very slow drying, you have plenty of time, don’t rush!

Inspire.Create.Challenge #013 | Sending Hugs with Lovely Inside & Out

Inspire.Create.Challenges 013 Colour Challenge Card using Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge #013 | Sending Hugs with Lovely Inside and Out

 

I am LOVING the Colour Combination for Inspire.Create.Challenges #013….

Inspire.Create.Challenges 013 Colour Challenge

This colour combination was totally inspired by the Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper which is currently available for FREE with a £45 during Sale-a-bration. I know that the Inspire.Create Design Team will have some fabulous projects with it… you can find them HERE!

How to make a bright and fun card using Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper and Lovely Inside and Out from Stampin' Up!

Because the colour combination was inspired by the Designer Series Paper I thought I would use the paper on my card. This is the second time I’ve used this paper this week, you can also find it in this weeks Make It Monday video!

This card also uses the Lovely Inside and Out stamp set. I have been really enjoying some of the pre-printed cards in Stampin’ Up! kits recently, and thought it would be fun to re-create the look with stamps, so the card base is stamped with one of the stamps from Lovely Inside and Out in Bermuda Bay ink for a cool tone on tone effect.

Sending Hugs card using Lovely Inside and Out from Stampin' Up!

I cannot wait to see you creations with this colour combination! Share you makes with us at Inspire.Create.Challenges!

Watercolour card using Blossoming Basket from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Spotlight | Blossoming Basket!

Stampin' Up! Saleabration

This week I have 3 fabulous cards using the Blossoming Basket Bundle for you! I am LOVING this stamp and embossing folder bundle, the stamp set is just so pretty, and the embossing folder so versatile that I can see this one being inked for a long time yet!

You Are Loved card using Blossoming Basket and Basket Weave Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up!

This first card is super simple, with some fun stamping and a hint of Copper trim. I LOVE this colour combo though…

The second card might be one of my favourite creations recently… I was channelling the fabulous Emma Goddard with this one. I love the colour combo here to actually; Sahara Sand, Inland Indigo and Tranquil Tide!

Watercolour card using Blossoming Basket from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-brationI added a hint of watercolour to this one, I started with a simple wash of colour over the flowers, and then added darker and darker areas for shadows. I really enjoyed a bit of watercolouring, haven’t done it for ages… this will look fabulous on proper Watercolour Paper and some vibrant colour, except that I’ve run out of Watercolour Paper! I know, I can’t quite believe it either!

How to make a fun card using Blossoming Basket from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-brationThe 3rd card is a sneaky peak of the card coming on Friday… So I’m saying nothing more than that!

Picture Perfect Birthday Card…

Quick and Fun Birthday Card using Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Picture Perfect Birthday Card…

 

It was my younger brother’s birthday at the end of February, and i needed a quick card to send him. I always vow NOT to make him cards (he always seems to manage to destroy them taking them out of the envelope!) but then something always stops me and I end up making him one anyway! I actually made him 2 cards in one week… you can find the other one HERE!

How to make a quick and easy Birthday Card using Picture Perfect Birthday from Stampin' Up!

This card came together so quickly… I LOVE it when crafts happen like that, don’t you?

The Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper stack makes AWESOME Birthday cards, with fabulous photo-real images on one side and fun patterns on the other, you can create fabulous cards in a snap. I’ve paired the Designer Series Paper with the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set, for a coordinate look… Don’t you love that that stamp fits inside the balloon perfectly!

Picture Perfect Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! products

I even stamped the inside and added a strip of Designer Series Paper and Basic Black card stock too!

Make It Monday

I don’t know about you but I have started to prepare for Easter.. (I probably should be preparing for Mother’s Day to, but I haven’t even thought about it yet! and its on Sunday!!!). I LOVE making cute little bags and things for chocolates for the people at work, and I think I might make a batch of these for our work Spring Fair at the end of March. I have a plan to put mini chocolate eggs in them, but they would be lovely with some bath salts or mini soap too!

Make It Monday How to make a cute mini gift bag with patterned paper from Stampin' Up!

These both use the lovely Bubbles and Fizz Designer Series Paper (available for FREE during Sale-a-bration!), and I think these bright colours make these bags awesome for kids party favours or a school fair! Anyway, the Bubbles and Fizz paper also coordinates with the Bubble Over stamp and die bundle in the Spring Summer catalogue this year. The paper features images that the dies cut out! How cool is that!

Like I mentioned, this Designer Series paper is available for free with a £45 order during Sale-a-bration! Yay!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 6 x 5-1/2″ (15 x 14 cm)

Score on the short side at 1-1/4, 2-1/2, 3-3/4, and 5″ (3, 6 , 9 and 12 cm)

Score on the long side at 1″ (2.5 cm)
