Stampin' Up! uk endless thanks world map

Ok, so I do have a card for you today, but I just want to chat to you first. This card has been sat on my desk for a few weeks waiting to be featured on the blog, and its waited ever so patiently, I’m sure it won’t mind waiting a few more minutes.

I just wanted to mention about Endless Possibilities, Endless opportunities when you become a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator – joining a great time of like-minded people who are all instant friends, getting a great discount on products you purchase anyway, and the chance attend some amazing events and trips.

I want to tell you about my goal for the next 12 months, its really big for me, I have the chance to earn a great trip in this coming Stampin’ Up! year, a trip of a lifetime to Thailand, but I need your help! Each and every year Stampin’ Up! reward its demonstrators with an all expenses paid trip – its earned, through hard work and dedication (both of which I have and do in bucket loads!), but I need you to help me get there. In the coming 12 months I will be hosting workshops and parties like never before, and I would LOVE for you to come along and see what Stampin’ Up! is all about. I don’t care that you have never stamped before, or that you are not creative – because I will not only provided all the stamps, ink and card stock that you will ever need, but all the creative work is done for you – all you have to do is turn up and have fun! (I’m even going to provide cake!)

Thanks for being you

Stampin' Up! UK World Map Me = grateful

I’ve been using the World Map background stamp a lot recently, particularly for men’s cards, but I wanted to glam it up a bit and see if I could make it a little more feminine.  I think I’ve managed it!

Stampin' Up! UK World Map Me = grateful

I mean, you can’t add Melon Mambo Stitched Satin Ribbon to something and it NOT look girly, right?!

The World map is stamped in Pear Pizzazz onto Very Vanilla card stock, and the sentiment from Me = Grateful is in Melon Mambo. I’ve punched out the sentiment using the 1 3/4″ Scallop circle punch and added a piece of that gorgeous Stitched Satin ribbon and some loops of Thick Bakers Twine in Very Vanilla

So pretty

Technique Tuesday | Spotlight Stamping

Stampin' Up! UK Technique Tuesday Awesomely Artisitic

Are you enjoying Technique Tuesday? you know if you make one of my projects I would LOVE to see it, why not share it with me on my Facebook page.

I spotted a card using this technique on a Facebook group a few weeks ago, and I’m really super sorry that I can’t remember who it was, so if it was you – please comment below so I can give you credit!

Stampin' Up! UK Technique Tuesday Awesomely Artisitic
Oh yes, I’ve been using Awesomely Artistic again! this time I’ve paired it with Me = Grateful to make some lovely Thank You cards.

How to:

Using Awesomely Artistic, stamp the background of the card using a pale ink. I’ve used Sahara Sand on Very Vanilla, and Smoky Slate on Whisper White here, stamped off once

Add you sentiment using Me = Grateful

On a scrap piece of card stock, the same colour as your background piece stamp the background image again, this time in full strength ink. I have stamped the floral arrangement in Sahara Sand or Smokey Slate, and the added the Dragonfly in a bold colour.

The trick here is to carefully stamp the dragonfly so the images line up with the background piece when you’ve punched them out.

Zoo Babies Congratulations Card

Stampin' Up! UK Zoo Babies congratulations card

Hello! Welcome to a new week at StampinByHannah!

I’m taking a little bit of a risk today, and am posting a card before I’m sending it! But I doubt very much that the recipients are going to see it! I have so many pregnant friends at the moment at it could be destined for a few people! I have to admit that most of the cards I post here on my Blog don’t get sent, but they do go with me to Craft Fairs and I will always let you have one if you see something you really like! Anyway, back to the card!

Stampin' Up! UK Zoo Babies congratulations card

I have said before that Zoo Babies is my favourite Baby stamp set. There are LOADS of baby and child themes sets in this years Annual catalogue, but because I don’t make that many children’s cards I will admit that I haven’t really ventured into this section of the new catalogue much and haven’t purchased any – I might have too soon though!

This card uses a Soft Sky card base, and a piece of Designer Series Paper from the Schoolhouse Designer Series Paper. I thought it would be really cute to stamp the animals in different colours, and so used; Perfect Plum, Soft Sky, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, Crushed Curry and Cucumber Crush.

Don’t forget to shop using the Code Club Code to receive some great FREE product!

Christmas Countdown | Santa’s Gifts!

Stampin' Up! Christmas Countdown Santa's Gifts

Ok, so have you started on your Christmas cards yet? No?! well, don’t worry because this coming week I will be sending out a small mountain of Autumn/Winter Catalogues – let me know that you want one by adding your name to the list!

Stampin' Up! Christmas Countdown Santa's Gifts

This card however, uses a stamp set you can get your hands on right now! have you found the Christmas section of the Annual Catalogue, it is AWESOME! I love this cute Santa, carrying a present or a candy cane! This stamp set also features a sweet little Rudolph I just can’t wait to use!

I’m sorry if this video was a little odd. I did some editing on this one (unusual for me) and I was trying out a new editing programme, think I will be returning to my normal editing suite next week!

Stampin' Up! Santa's Gifts

I have coloured Santa in here using my Stampin’ Write markers in Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Smokey Slate, Basic Black and Garden Green. I don’t even attempt blending with my markers, instead I just add a bit of a darker colour to create some shadow – nice, simple colouring in!

Colour the World (map)

Stampin' Up! UK Colour Me Irresistible World Map

Aren’t we always struggling for men’s birthday cards aren’t we?! Why are men so damn tricky! Well I think I have a almost perfect men’s card for you today

Stampin' Up! UK Colour Me Irresistible World Map

What do you think? What to know how I did that background? Well, because I love you, I will tell you!

The secret is Colour Me Irresistible (The speciality Designer Series Paper at the top of page 142 of the Annual Catalogue) This great designer series paper features some pieces of white resist paper, including this great stripe. I love stamping on Designer Series Paper, I have a habit of hoarding DSP, and getting it out to stamp on is a great way for me to use it! So, I’ve stamped on the Colour Me Irresistible using the World Map Background stamp – so great for Men’s card!

That Happy Birthday, well that’s from Guy Greetings, and I have used the decorative label to punch it out. Then I have used the same punch on a piece of Real Red card stock, and cut the punched piece in half, attaching on half to one side of my sentiment piece, and the other to the other side. This is then popped onto a couple of Dimensionals and added to the card over a couple of loops of Linen thread.

Technique Tuesday | Stamp Rolling

Stampin' Up! UK Video tutorial class workshop

Oh dear, now this post is messy 🙁 really messy. The technique is inky yes, but there is no need to make as much of a mess as me! (check out the video tutorial to see what I mean!)

Stampin' Up! UK Stamp Rolling video tutorial

This is stamp rolling, adding more than one ink colour to a round stamp from two different ink pads. I needed a circular stamp for this and just had to use I Think You’re Great again! The first card uses Bermuda Bay and Pool Party to create a two-tone stamped image, while the card on the right uses Cherry Cobbler and Real Red.

See, isn’t it so super simple (if you manage to keep hold of your stamps, unlike me!)

Stampin' Up! UK Video tutorial class workshop

How to:

Ink you stamp with a light ink colour (I used Real Red for this card)

Take a hold of your stamp (firmly) and press the edges of the stamp into the darker ink pad in a rolling motion, ensuring you don’t touch the middle of the stamp into the ink pad

Always use the lighter colour first so you don’t get darker ink into your light ink pads

Me = Grateful

Stampin' Up! UK Me = Grateful Market Fresh

I had so much fun making this card! Would you like to join me and make some fun cards next month? On the 9th of September I am holding my monthly Technique Class, and this time we are using Me = Grateful to make 3 lovely cards

Stampin' Up! UK Me = Grateful Farmers Market

I have recently discovered how much fussy cutting I actually do! For all I say I don’t cut anything out at all, ever, it actually appears that I fussy cut quite often. This card features a really cute fussy cut pear from the Farmers Market Designer Series Paper.

That wonderful sentiment is stamped directly onto another piece of the same Designer Series Paper in Watermelon Wonder, with some neutral Candy Dots to finish
