InspireINK Blog Hop | Memory Keeping with Share a Milkshake…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to the InspireINK blog hop for August. I am SO excited to see what the ladies have created for this months ‘Memories’ Challenge! I have No Idea what I was thinking when I set this as a challenge back in December… but here we are and I have done some old school memory keeping!

So, I couldn’t find any White 12×12″ cardstock (Stampin’ Up! or otherwise) in my stash, so I’ve gone with a piece of A4 Basic White instead. But this does mean I can pop it into a frame that I have floating around in my office.

I’ve used a few different products on this one, but it needed a few different bits. The Designer Series paper is from Les Shoppes and was the prefect option for a photo of my daughter eating an ice cream. I haven’t journalled on the page, and I feel like a probably should… but this photo is from our first mummy-daughter lunch dates… where aged 3 she ate a full 3 courses!

The Ice Cream theme needed a themed embellishment and so I whipped out the Share a Milkshake bundle and made this cute ice cream… complete with a few Sweet Sorbet hearts.

I almost finished the layout there, but it felt wrong without a proper title, and so I pulled out the Alphabet a la Mode dies and some Night of Navy cardstock to finish it off.

Global Design Project #407 | Waves of Inspiration

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for my entry to this weeks Global Design Project Theme Challenge. This week the theme is Water Creatures, and initially I had a bit of a panic at this one, as I don’t have any stamp sets at the moment with fish or other water-y animals on. However, I do have Waves of Inspiration and so used that instead.

I used a fun watercolour technique to create the waves panel on this card, check the video below for all the details.

I usually vlog on a Wednesday, but this week things have been a bit different and so I thought I would film this card instead.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #149 | Summer with Share a Milkshake

Hello! Welcome to Inspire.Create.Challenge for Challenge #149. This time out Jo has challenged us to create ‘Summer’ themed projects…. now, I know what you’re thinking, there is a lot of Grey on this card Hannah. But, if you live in the UK you will totally get that this what our summer has felt like so far! Please, blue sky, where have you gone?!

Saying this, what says Summer better than an Ice Cream? Here I’ve used Lemon Lolly and Soft Seafoam to create a Vanilla / Mint flavour combo… yummy!

Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop | Back to School with Just My Type…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Stampin’ Dreams blog hop. This month we are looking at Back to School… which I have to say, in the 3rd week of the school holidays here I am absolutely not ready for. For me its less about ‘Back’ to school but ‘Starting’ school this year as my daughter starts full time school this September. (yes, just typing that made me cry!) and so my project is made for her new teacher.

I absolutely LOVE the Just My Type stamp set… that typewriter is a piece of me! Here I’ve done a whole heap of fussy cutting and added a bit of Rainbow magic to create a fun Hello Card, perfect for teacher on the first day of term.

Global Design Project #405 | Trucking Along with Ray of Light

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Global Design Project… Which this week is a fab colour combination of Boho Blue, Pebbled Path and Wild Wheat.

I just cannot put this cute little truck away at the moment, its so much fun! Here I’ve paired Trucking Along with the Ray of Light background stamp… and kept things super simple!

I am really enjoying that this truck has a matching punch rather than dies… it just makes creating with it so easy. I have used one die on this card though (because otherwise my Cut and Emboss Machine would have felt left out!) and used the Stylish Shapes to die cut that fabulous Ray of Light!

Technique Tuesday | Colouring with Zany Zoo….

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months Technique Tuesday Blog Hop! This month we are Colouring… I absolutely LOVE a bit of colouring in, so relaxing. In actual fact, I coloured this card twice… because the first time I coloured and then die cut and the die slipped, So I coloured it again.

I’ve seen a few people reach for this cute Lama stamp and their Stampin’ Blends recently, and so was totally inspired to have ago. The Lama is Crumb Cake, with the chair in a blend of Daffodil Delight and Wild Wheat, and then the yarn and scarf is Moody Mauve.

Global Design Project 404 | Ink Blended Trucking Along…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this week’s Global Design Project. This week’s challenge is to CASE a project from the ever talented Susan Wong. I’ve been playing with the Trucking Along bundle, and have a bunch of projects to share… but this card sort of appeared on my desk this morning! (Don’t you just love it when that happens?!)

I have been sorting my scraps recently, and came across a piece of vellum with a circle die cut from it… and so I used it here as a mask to create the ink blended circle. The colours here are Sweet Sorbet, Crushed Curry, Azure Afternoon and Starry Sky.

The truck, clouds and sentiment are all from Trucking Along.

Crafty Challenge Blog Hop | A Subtle take on Textured Florals…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another Crafty Challenge. This month we had 5 items to aim for; Subtles, Standard Horizontal, Ribbon, Masking and For You. I did my best, and I think I hit them all…

I used the Subtles collection here, pulling out Petal Pink, Lemon Lolly, Soft Seafoam and Pool Party, with the Textured Floral Stamp set. The sentiment was stamped first and then masked off with a bit of Sticky Note tape, before I stamped the floral images.

Trucking Along | Video Tutorial

Hello! I hope you are having a lovely Sunday evening… I just thought that I would pop a post into the blog this evening as I have shared a video over on my YouTube, but haven’t been sharing videos here recently, and so you might have missed it.

This card uses the new Trucking Along stamp set which is part of the July Online Exclusives release. There are some wonderful stamp sets this time around, but this one is my favourite!
