Inspire.Create.Challenge 021 | Fun Children’s Card using Swirly Bird

Fun card for a little boy using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge 021 Fun Children’s Card using Swirly Bird

Inspire.Create.Challenge Theme Challenge Kids Cards

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge was a tricky one of me! I don’t make many cards for kids…. seeing as I don’t have any of my own… you wouldn’t think I actually set the challenges for Inspire.Create.Challenge would you?!

Children's Sail boat card using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up!

A few months ago the lovely Sarah-Jane from the Inspire.Create team gave me THIS pretty card, it’s been sitting on my card display ever since…. and this weekend I decided that the idea would be perfect for a kids card!

The sail boat comes from the Swirly Bird stamp set. I’ve stamped it here in Lemon Lime Twist, night of Navy and Grey Granite (stamped off once)… and fussy cut it before adhering it to the Whisper White square die cut using the Layering Squares Framelits. The scalloped Lemon Lime Twist Square uses the same set of dies.

Kids card using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up!

The background uses 3 die cuts of Night of Navy using the coordinating Swirly Scribbles dies… to adhere them to the card base I did add some Multi-Purpose Adhesive sheet to the back of the card stock before die cutting, but you could use liquid glue to get the same effect.

Don’t forget to check out the other Kid’s Card inspiration over at Inspire.Create.Challenge, and create your own and share it with us there too!

Thinking of You Beautiful Day

Thinking of you card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thinking of You Beautiful Day

 

I made this card a couple of months ago for one of my Stampin’ Sisters…. and somehow I forgot to blog it! Until now that is! I am so happy that the Beautiful Day Stamp Set has carried over through to the new Annual Catalogue.

How to make a fun Butterfly Thinking of you card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

The Butterfly is stamped in Stazon Ink, and then I added Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist over the top with a Stampin’ Sponge. To contain the ink a little I did create a Butterfly shaped mask using copier paper… just to protect the white space.

Sponged Butterfly Thinking of you card using Beautiful Day from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is stamped in Versamark and heat embossed in Whisper White Stampin’ Emboss Powder… and the card is finished with a trio of ribbons; Basic Black Shimmer Ribbon, Bakers Twine and Copper Metallic Thread.

What was the last occasion you made a card for?

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Team Swaps with Rooted in Nature from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday banner

3 weeks ago Stampin’ Up! released the 2018 Annual Catalogue…. and this month the team and I have got together to swap cards using new products! I LOVE swapping, particularly with the team, they always have fabulous ideas and swaps are a great way to get some quick inspiration.

I made 7 swap cards… 5 for my swap group, 1 for the lovely Amanda who coordinates our team swaps and one for my team leader too.

Make it monday Rooted in Nature Stampin' Up! Team Swap Card Video Tutorial

I am absolutely LOVING this bundle! I shared THIS fun miniature card using it a few weeks ago on a Facebook Live… but I just couldn’t resist using it again for these team swaps!

I’ve been playing with the new Stampin’ Up! Embossing Mats again too… I shared a fun video on Friday that used a die designed to cut for embossing, but today’s card uses the dies in the Nature’s Roots that are Designed to emboss. They work using a standard Big Shot cutting sandwich… but they are even better if you use the new Embossing Mats!

InspireInk Blog Hop | Creating a fabulous BIG Birthday Card…

Big Birthday Card using Happy Birthday Thinlit from Stampin' Up! for the InspireINK blog Hop

StampinByHannah InspireInk Blog Hop Creating a fabulous BIG Birthday Card…

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Ok, so this month’s InspireINK blog hop theme was Milestone Birthdays… and while I love a good milestone, I don’t have ANY in my family or friends this year. I think that the next person to celebrate a birthday in our family will be 34 (or maybe 35…. I can’t remember!). Anyway…. I sort of changed Milestone for BIG…. and so this card was created…

Monotone Mint Birthday Card using the Sequin Embossing Folder from Stampin' Up!

I haven’t used Happy Birthday Thinlit die in a while… but I am so glad it’s carried forward into the new Annual Catalogue, it just makes some really simple, but really effective birthday cards. Here I’ve die cut it 4 times; 3 time from Very Vanilla card stock, and once from a piece of Mint Macaron card stock that I had added some ink blending to. I have to add that I did pop some Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet onto the back of the card stock before I die cut it… just makes stacking these die cuts SO much easier!

Mint Macaron Sequin Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! products

I put a heap of sequins into one of my recent Stampin’ Up! orders…. I LOVE sequins on cards, and self-adhesive ones are just fantastic! Then I remembered that I had grabbed the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder to an order a while ago, and hadn’t used it (I know, it’s shocking isn’t it!) and so I ripped the plastic off it, and ran it through my Big Shot…. for a completely Sequined card!

I can’t wait to see what the other girls in the InspireINK team have created for this challenge…. why not hop along with me and find out!
