12 Tags of Christmas – Merry and Bright!

Hello!

Welcome to another instalment of the 12 Tags of Christmas!

This week I used the Good Greetings stamp set (still FREE on any order of £200! until the end of October!) and the Under the Tree Tag a Bag Accessory kit!

Stampin' Up! UK 12 Tags of Christmas

I just love the Tag a Bag Accessory Kits, we have several over the annual and seasonal catalogues. They are just so handy, and include 10 gift tags for just £7.25! Awesome!

So, this tag also uses two pieces of DSP; the green is a piece of Under the Tree Specialty DSP, with the brown being from the Trim the Tree paper stack. I love both these packs of DSP! The specialty paper is really thick (and is awesome for boxes and 3D items) and the little paper stacks are super handy for card fronts and other cute projects (hint hint!)

Stampin' Up! UK Scallop Tag Topper Punch

 

So, to create this tag. The green piece of 2″ x 6″ and punched using the Scallop tag topper punch. And the brown piece is 2″ x 3″ and punched with the same punch. The sentiment from that Good Greetings set, is stamped on one of the builder tags from the Tag a bag accessory kit, attached with a dimensional. Instead of using twine or ribbon this week, I’ve used one of the pegs from the Tag a bag accessory kit – they are just so cute!

But its the joining offer I really want to talk to you about!

 

Stampin' Up! UK Pick a pack of Paper DSP Designer Series PaperJoin Stampin’ Up! before the end of the month to receive a FREE pack of Designer Series paper every month for 6 months! That’s £60 of FREE stock!

Right, Card!

Stampin' Up! UK I like you Stampin Write Markers

 

This card uses a Crushed Curry Card base, and a piece of Colour Me Autumn DSP (the colours in this pack of DSP are gorgeous – Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Mossy Meadow, Cajun Craze, Old Olive! <3). I stamped the DSP with Crushed Curry ink using the Hello Darling Stamp set (one of the ones I chose as my freebies!).

I coloured the Flower stamp with my Stampin’ Write Markers in Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, and Old Olive, before stamping onto the DSP

 

 

Stampin' Up! UK I like you Stampin Write Markers

 

The sentiment for this card comes from the FREE good greetings stamp set, stamped in Mossy Meadow onto the same DSP, and punched out using the Modern Label Punch, layered with two other punched pieces

I didn’t think Crushed Curry was really going to be my colour! Boy, was I Wrong!

Fancy Fold Friday – Steps of a Festival!

So, this is the last post of our week of Festival of Trees 🙁

I really do love this stamp set (can you tell!) and I’m sure I have plenty of crafting left with it before it leaves us on January 5th 2015

As its Fancy Fold Friday, I couldnt end the week without doing a Fancy Fold Festival of Trees card – this week, Stepper Cards!

FFF - stepper 1

This card is a little complex to cut and score. The cardbase (here in Mossy Meadow) is cut to 8 1/4 by 5 3/4, and is scored on the short side at 2″, and on the long side at 4 1/8″, and 2 1/8, 5 1/4. 6 1/4/ ad 7 1/8 to the 2″ score line.

Side Stepper Card Score Dimentions

Using you Stampin’ Trimmer, cut the 2″ score line between the 2 1/8″ score line and 7 1/8″. The next trick is folding. Fold the 7 1/8″ score line away from you, folding the other lines like a concertina, ensuring that the 4 1/8″ score line on the unscored side is also folded away from you.

This should give you a side stepper card!

As it is Festival of Trees week, I have decorated my Side Stepper as a forest, using two of the tree stamps, the star and both of the sentiments.

FFF - stepper 2

Have I mentioned how much I love how Stampin’ Up! products coordinate – the festival of trees star stamp which works perfectly with the star punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack! LOVE IT!

In addition to the Mossy Meadow cardstock, this card features Very Vanilla cardstock, and Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz and Real Red inks!

Can wait for next week!

because no Festival is complete without some Gold (buttons)

Well, its Thursday, which means we’re nearly at the end of our Festival of Trees week here at StampinByHannah, I still love this stamp set. I’ve made classic and modern cards, and used both traditional and non-traditional colour schemes.

Today we return to the traditional looking Christmas Card – with Garden Green, Real Red, and …. Gold!!!

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees Gold Buttons

This card uses a card base of Garden Green, with the tree also stamped in the same ink. The DSP is from the Trim The Tree Designer Series Paper Stack (awesome papers, great value for money!), in Sahara Sand. I’ve then added some of the Real Red Woven Ribbon (super pretty) and  a few of the Gold Basic Metal Buttons!

So simple, but super effective!

Check back tomorrow for our last day of our Festival of Trees week!

Forest of Festival of Trees

Continuing our journey with the Festival of Trees, today I have a more technique based card.

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees gradient stamping

This card is a Mossy Meadow card base, with Very Vanilla card front. The Trees are triple stamped – first stamped in Pear Pizzazz, the Old Olive and finally Mossy Meadow – but each time some ink is removed from the stamp before stamping, using a microfibre cloth. This means that the Pear Pizzazz layer is the whole tree, then ink up the stamp with Old Olive – rubbing the very edges of the stamp with your cloth to remove the ink from the tips of the leaves, then stamp. As Festival of Trees is a Photopolymer stamp set this is super easy, but you could use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to make this even easier. Then ink the stamp again with Mossy Meadow this time, removing all the ink except the very middle / trunk of the tree. This technique creates a lovely gradated image.

The sentiment on this card is from White Christmas

Dont forget to check back again tomorrow for another Festival of Trees project

12 Tags of Christmas! Festival Style!

Well, we’re really getting into it now! 11 weeks to go!

This tag is uses the Festival of Trees Stamp set – well, it is Festival of Trees week here @ StampinByHannah!

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees

I made these tree using 3 of the stamps from the set – the solid tree shape, and the two complimenting stamps; the tree and the baubles! Made in two colours – traditional; using Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive and Real Red, and a non-traditional colour way of Soft Sky, Lost Lagoon and Smokey Slate!

I love these tags. The tags themselves are super simpe – 2×6″ Very Vanilla cardstock, punched at one end using the Scallop Tag Topper punch.

Easy Peasy!

Festival of Trees Week!!!!!

Well Hello there! Welcome to StampinByHannah, and to Festival of Trees Week!

I love this stamp set! I have already made so many cards with it, used it in workshops, and had a go a little viral on Pinterest! Yay! and seeing as its Stampin’ Up! European Convention this coming Weekend (and I cant go 🙁 ) I thought I would celebrate blog style – with an awesome week of awesome cards!

Stampin' Up! UK Festival of Trees Under the Tree

I love this colour combination – its just so festive! The cardbase is in Garden Green, with a card front using the Under the Tree Speciality Paper (great for boxes with the gift box punch board to!) The Tree is stamped in Garden Green on one of the builder tags from the Under The Tree Tag a Bag Accessory Kit (which is also where the other tag and the bakers twine is from!).

That super cute sentiment is from a limited edition stamp set, available until the end of the month, if you place an order (or host a party) of over £200. I love it, it has a collection of lovely holiday sentiments all in this lovely handwritten font

 

 

Check back tomorrow for more cards using Festival of Trees

100 Posts!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah

Is this your first visit? If it is there are lots of ideas and inspiration already here, this is my 100th blog post!

I cant believe it! when I started StampinByHannah in June of this year I never expected to reach 100 posts! or even 1000 blog views! (we I reached last month, thank you all very much!)

So, for my 100th I thought I would give you something a little different.

I thought I would tell you a little more about me, and what I do, why I’m here, and what I can offer!

Stampin Up!

So, I’m Hannah and I run two websites, this one StampinByHannah, and The Handmade Weddings – where I produce and sell handmade wedding stationary.

When I’m not in my craft room, I’m probably at my day job (or night job as it appears to be at the moment) working as a nurse in a nursing home. It’s a job I love (not as much as crafting and being creative, but I do love it!)

I have a cat, Freda, and get married to James next August! So, I’ve now got just less than 10 months to finish planning, loose another stone in weight, make the cakes, flower arrangements, and of course all the wedding stationary!

Stampin' Up! UK Pick a pack of Paper DSP Designer Series Paper

I adore working with Stampin’ Up! I use their products all the time, not just for making things for the blog, but also cards for family and friends (and customers!), as well as for my Wedding Stationary business. The quality is just exceptional!

Over the next few weeks and months I have some awesome projects and ideas for you; last week we started a series on a Friday for special folds – Fancy Fold Friday, and this week I launched the 12 Tags of Christmas – a series coming to you each and every Monday from now until Christmas week! Next week is a busy week here on the blog – to celebrate the success of the Festival of Trees stamp set (its been the top seller for Stampin’ Up! UK for the past few weeks, I love it, and I’ve had a LOT of re-pins on Pinterest for my Festival of Trees projects) I am dedicating the whole week to Festival of Trees! thats 5 cards and 1 tag, all featuring the Festival of Trees!

I’m planning on some new classes launching in the new year, looking at cards and scrapbooking, in particular Project Life by Stampin’ Up! which is just awesome!

And I have lots of other exciting things coming really soon!

 

So, thank you all so much for reading and subscribing!

I now also have a monthly newsletter, e-mailed to your inbox at the beginning of each month! to subscribe to that drop me a message HERE!
