Inspire.Create.Challenge #132 | Forever Fern

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this weeks Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week Jo has set a colour challenge using Early Espresso, Petal Pink, Rich Razzleberry and Granny Apple Green.

This week is one of those times that I was super pleased I was a little bit organised; my delightful toddler shared an awful cold with me this week… but I made this card last weekend and so managed to hit the deadline!

This card uses Forever Fern. I love this stamp set for a simple stamp layered card like this. I’ve added a base layer here, but this would look just as good stamped straight onto a Basic White Card Base.

Before stamping the leaves, I stamped the ‘Hello’ and then masked it with a bit of ripped Sticky note. Then each stamp is simply layered over the top

Check out the rest of the Design Team projects over on the Inspire.Create blog and add your own makes too!

InspireINK Blog Hop | Best of 2022

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this week for our final InspireINK blog hop of 2022. This time we have all picked out our favourite projects of the year to share with you again.

I have really enjoyed crafting this year, and so picking a favourite was a little tricky. However, the Full of Love stamp set has been one of my most used sets recently, and so this card was an easy pick. (That, and because I don’t have the card anymore, seeing as I managed to leave it at an event and forget to collect it!)

Between this cute stamp set and Stampin’ Blends I have had a LOT of fun this year. This card did also feature on a Facebook Live earlier in the year too.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #131 | Fond of Autumn

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for another Inspire.Create.Challenge. This week Jo has challenged us with a brilliant sketch… I have twisted it slightly, but I think you can still see the sketch in it!

I am so sad that the Fond of Autumn stamps and dies are part of the Last Chance sale… and therefore might even have sold out by the time this post goes live! But, I just had to use it one more time. Here I’ve coloured the images with Melon Mambo, Orchid Oasis, Mint Macaron, Old Olive and So Saffron Stampin’ Blends

Crafty Challenges | Colour Challenge with Happy Forest Friends

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Crafty Challenge blog hop. This month Stephanie challenged us with a colour combination that I found incredibly challenging! I really don’t know why I found it so hard… other than these being colours I really don’t use all that often, but I did manage to pull something together in the end

I pulled the Happy Forest Friends suite for this one… I think inspired by the greens and brown in the colour combination.

Share it Sunday | More fun with Kindest Gnomes!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Share it Sunday blog hop. I have had parts of this card floating around on my desk for a while. I actually coloured the Gnome and the Toadstool at the last in person team event, which was back in September! Last weekend I co-hosted a virtual team stamping day, and managed to get them onto a card.

As well as the Kindest Gnomes stamp set and Gnome dies, this card uses the Stylish Shapes dies and Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper, with a hint of in blending in the background

Inspire.Create.Challenge #130 | Full of Love

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today, for what, for me, is a bitter sweet blog post. Today is the 130th Challenge with Inspire.Create.Challenge, but also my very last challenge as the challenge coordinator. I have absolutely LOVED running the challenge for the past 5 years, but life is super busy and I just don’t have the time and energy to dedicate to it anymore. So, today I hand over to the delightfully wonderful Jo Blackman.

So, today’s card is for the wonderful Inspire.Create Design Team, both past and present, who have supported both the challenge and me over the years.

This card uses the Full of Love stamp set. I stamped a bunch of these envelopes last week, and fussy cut them ready for me to create something. Honestly, I just fancied doing some fussy cutting that evening. So today, when I sat down to make my card, I just had to colour it in! Of course, I have used a bunch of Stampin’ Blends to do that; Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron, Orchid Oasis and Crumb Cake.

The card base is Sahara Sand, and I added a Basic White layer with some Orchid Oasis ink blending underneath the Full of Love envelope.

Please pop over to the Inspire.Create blog and check out the rest of the Design Team’s creations this week.

You can find the Supply List for this card HERE

Lovely You is one of my craft room staples; with cute little images and pretty sentiments, I could use the set all day long.

Quick and Easy card using Lovely You from Stampin' Up! for the Global Design Project with StampinByHannah

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | Painted Poppies

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the Stampin’ Dreams blog hop. This month our theme is ‘In Memoriam’ and so the only stamp set I could reach for was Painted Poppies. I love this stamp set for sympathy cards, its just so perfect.

One of the reasons I love the Painted Poppies stamp set so much is that it has 2 step stamping, with a couple of more solid images that you can use to ” colour” those floral and leaf stamps.

The coordinating dies are also fabulous, and I’ve paired it here with the Peaceful Moments for the sentiment
