Make It Monday | Designer Series Paper Birthday Card

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to make a fun birthday card using Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Designer Series Paper Birthday Card

This weeks Make It Monday video tutorial is the perfect card to make with the left overs from your April Stamp of the Month Club kit! This month’s kit features a heap of goodies from the Picture Perfect Birthday suite, and is perfect for making Birthday cards for all your friends and family! (yes, guys included!)

I have made this style of card before, and its definately not a new idea… but it is PERFECT for using up those scraps of Designer Series Paper. This is the time of year I go into over drive mode using Designer Series Paper, with Stampin’ Up! OnStage just around the corner, and a new catalogue on the way. It’s time to clear those paper shelves in preparation for some fabulous new designs that are coming really soon!

This card (believe it or not) doesn’t rely heavily on set measurements… I would suggest measuring your scraps and going from there. But here are the measurements I have used:

Measurements:

Check out my new Standard Card Measurements Page for my card base measurements!

Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper;

14.3 x 10 cm
6 x 9.5 cm
7.5 x 4.5 cm

Pool Party Card stock;

6.5 x 10 cm
8 x 5 cm
4.5 x 6 cm

Whisper White Card Stock;

5.5 x 4 cm

The sentiment is taken from the coordinating Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set, and the finishing touch is a bow in Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon.

How to… Ink Blending with Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink

How to do Ink Blending with Stampin' Up! Classic Ink and StampinByHannah Video Tutorial

StampinByHannah How to… Ink Blending with Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink

I have been having so much fun with Ink Blending recently! On Tuesday I shared THIS card for the Go for Greece blog hop with the lovely Kylie Bertucci, and had a few comments about my ink blending… so I thought I would share a fun tutorial with you today.

I think that most of my Ink Blending top tips are in the video… so do check that out!

The stamp set at work here is the lovely Lovely Inside and Out. I LOVE this stamp set, its great for heaps of different occasions with a bunch of mix and match sentiments… and I cannot get enough of those background images too.

I have been having loads of fun with layering recently, and this card is a continuation of that! Not only have I layered ink blending and tone on tone stamping… but then the heat embossed sentiment is layered with a piece of Delicate White Doily, some loops of Black Metallic Thread and a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots.

Oh! before I go, Sweet Sugarplum (the colour I’ve used in this card!) is one of the 2016-2018 In-Colours… and it’s due to retire REALLY soon, along with Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Peekaboo Peach, and Flirty Flamingo! So, grab your In-Colour ink refills and card stock now before they sell out!

Thoughtful Thursday | One Little Word March 2018

One Little Word using Memories and More from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday One Little Word March 2018

In January I started a year long mindfulness project. One Little Word is a fabulous self-paced class from Ali Edwards that encourages you to pick a focus word for the year. My word is Grow… and I am encouraging myself to grow as a person, develop coping strategies for my anxiety, loose weight, and really focus on some me time. And that is what my One Little Word album gives me, Me Time.

Each month Ali gives a prompt to help you focus on your word, and March was the ‘Practice’ month. This was our opportunity to challenge ourselves to complete something each day of the month (As you can see… I didn’t quite manage mine). My personal goal this month was to do 9000 steps a day. Now, this is super easy when I’m working my day job, but MUCH harder when I’m crafting and blogging and running my business. The fact that I haven’t managed 9000 steps every day isn’t a failure, its another opportunity for growth (get it!)… and my goal will continue into April.

March was my ‘New Me’ month… I know most people do this sort of re-set in January, but March works SO much better for me! By now we have got past both mine and James’ birthdays, all the festive chocolate has long gone, plus James has just finished his degree and actually started his job this week (can you tell I’m excited about that!)… so my March step goal was my lead into my new health and fitness plan. I started Slimming World on Monday, so that combined with my steps, and a goal to exercise more… the new, slimmer me, should be coming soon!

Seeing as March is the end of a quarter I thought I would share a video of my album so far. I hope you enjoy, but do let me know if you want to see these more regularly, as I can do them monthly or maybe even as a process video if that is what you would like to see!

Each month Ali gives us some fabulous print-ables, and this month we got a monthly tracker, as well as a fun practice card. However, seeing as this month’s spread was a little sparse on the crafting I decided to create my own! Most of my album so far has used the Perfect Days Memories and More card pack, and so I grabbed one of the 6 x 4″ cards. Unfortunately Stampin’ Up! doesn’t currently have an alphabet stickers, and I don’t have any alphabet stamps that were the right size. So I dug into my stash (I have a draw of contraband goodies that I use for scrap-booking… and my wedding album!) and found these fun Chipboard letters. They were actually a funky red colour, but a Sharpie Marker quickly took care of that!

Go for Greece Blog Hop | Picture Perfect Birthday Card

How to create a fun birthday card using Picture Perfect Birthday from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Go for Greece Blog Hop Picture Perfect Birthday Card

Oh man, I am SO excited for today’s blog hop! I have been taking part in more and more blogging events recently, with Inspire.Create.Challenge every other week, plus Kylie’s blog highlights once a month and the InspireINK blog hop. But, today’s event is even more special! I have joined with a fabulous group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators around the world, all of whom are working towards the Stampin’ Up! 2019 incentive trip to Greece.

This birthday card was inspired by the recent Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team Blog Hop. This fabulous group of super talented woman are just inspiring, and I just LOVE the projects they produce each and every month.

I made this card for one of my Stampin’ Besties’ for her Birthday last week. It uses the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set and coordinating Picture Perfect Party, which will also be the StampinByHannah Stamp of the Month for April. I had heaps of fun creating this one, and I might just have had a proper play with my new Stamparatus too! This fabulous new Stamp Positioning Tool (coming in June!) just makes lining up those two step stamped images just so easy!

This card features lots of lovely layers (my current crafting addition!)… with a corner of ink blending in Berry Burst with a hint of stamping over the top, Designer Series Paper and a heat Embossed Sentiment.

Global Design Project 131 | Happy Easter with Hedgehugs from Stampin’ Up!

Watercolour background Easter Card using Hedgehugs from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Global Design Project 131 Happy Easter with Hedgehugs from Stampin’ Up!

Oh my! It has been a good while since I took part in a Global Design Project challenge, but I’m on holiday from my day job this week and therefore managed to craft yesterday… and so made this fun Easter Card to celebrate!

I have been having heaps of fun with the Hedgehugs stamp set this month, and have already shared a trio of fun cards on my Monthly Facebook Live video. The Easter challenge was a little tricky, because I haven’t got a single Easter themed stamp set this year, so I turned to these cute critters and the Labeler Alphabet for this one.

The background features a fun watercolour wash of Pear Pizzazz onto a piece of Shimmery White card stock. This is such a fun way to add a little extra something to a card, I am sure that it would have looked lovely in plain white, but you guys know I can’t resist an opportunity to watercolour!

Chocolate Chip

Pear Pizzazz

So Saffron

The card is finished with a stamped strip of So Saffron card stock using that Hedgehugs stamp set again, and a hint of a doily.

Do you make Easter cards? Or do you prefer to give chocolate?

InspireInk | Perennial Birthday Card

Soft and pretty Perennial Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah InspireInk Perennial Birthday Card

Hello! Welcome to the InspireInk Blog Hop! This month we are all creating projects with a sketch designed by Keila… I had heaps of fun with this one!

I’ve kept this card fairly true to the sketch, but have used the Perennial Birthday Stamp set to create this pretty and soft card. This stamp set is perfect for creating your own Designer Series Paper, small stamps stamped repeatedly to create a pretty pattern. The Stitched Shape die cut Circle features this technique.

The colour combination here is the key to this card though, and it would make a very pretty wedding congratulations card.

This card is finished with a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots.

How to make a card using Faux Watercolour with Watercolour Wings from Stampin’ Up!

StampinByHannah How to make a card using Faux Watercolour with Watercolour Wings from Stampin’ Up!

Today’s video features one of the those techniques that I use so often that I forget to mention it! I know… I’m so bad! But, it’s super pretty and really easy. I actually used this one on my husbands Valentines card this year.

Faux watercolour is super easy to do… all you need is a fairly solid stamp, Stampin’ Up! ink and an Aqua-Painter. It creates a really pretty, soft effect, and is a great way to add that extra something to a card. I do of course have a couple of Top Tips:

Use Thick Whisper White card stock, Shimmery White card stock, or Watercolour paper
Ensure your ink pads are well inked and nice and juice-y
Use an Aqua-Painter that has plenty of water in it, but don’t squeeze… the water will naturally come out of the Aqua-painter as you use it, but if you squeeze you might flood your card stock and spread the ink too far
Have fun!

Island Indigo

So Saffron

Tempting Turquoise

The sentiment on this card is taken from the Beautiful You stamp set, and is punched out with the 1-3/4″ circle punch and matted onto the Pretty Label punched from Island Indigo.
