How to do watercolour stamping using colouring pens with Stampin' Write Markers from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Watercolour Stamping with the Stamparatus

Make It Monday

I have been playing with the Stamparatus for a good couple of months now….  and I used it for just about every one of my OnStage Display Board samples, and it’s a pretty constant feature on my desk. I absolutely LOVE it, and I am SO excited that the full launch happens on the 1st June with the Annual catalogue, and you guys can get your hands on one.

Pretty Watercolour Flower Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Beautiful Day

This pretty card uses the Beautiful Day stamp set. I seriously can’t get enough of this set, it’s just makes such pretty and simple cards. I have a fun technique to share with you too… check the video to see how I stamped the flower!

The sentiment on this card is stamped in Night of Navy ink onto Vellum. Because ink can take a while to dry on Vellum I will often add a layer of Clear Stampin’ Emboss powder to seal in the colour.

I haven’t done any watercolour techniques for ages… I forget how much I enjoy messing around with ink and water sometimes!

2018 Annual Catalogue Paper Shares

StampinByHannah 2018 Annual Catalogue Paper Shares

Are you ready for the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue? I’ve spent this morning packing and preparing my 1st batch of catalogues ready to send out this coming week (my lovely husband has already offered to take them to the post office… not that I can remember which day he said he was going!). You can of course still order a FREE catalogue using THIS page, and I will add you to the list for the 2nd batch which will likely go out just as the catalogue launches on the 1st June.

If you don’t want a physical catalogue, but prefer a digital download I will be sending one out to my email list on the 1st June. You can subscribe to that HERE.

 

But today, I have something special for you… the launch of my 2018 Annual Catalogue Paper Shares.

I have two options for you… a Designer Series Paper Share, and a second Colour and In-Colour Paper Share.

 

So, what is a Paper Share?

There are 21 packs of Designer Series Paper in this years Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue… that would cost you £215 if you bought them all. Now, because I have seen all the paper, and I know how GORGEOUS they all are… I know that you are going to want them ALL. But I also understand that £215 on Paper is a lot of money. What a Share does is split that cost in to 4 pieces… making it more affordable for you to get a sample of all the pieces of Designer Series Paper.

So, you pay 1/4 of the price and get a 1/4 of each pack of Designer Series Paper.

I do have one disclaimer; there is one pack of Designer Series Paper that I’m NOT including the share, Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Speciality Paper is BEAUTIFUL but it is just too difficult to cut onto quarters.

 

Designer Series Paper Share

This Share includes 14 packs of Designer Series Paper:

  • Tea Room Speciality Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Broadway Speciality Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Share What You Love Speciality Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Graceful Glass 6 x 6 “Designer Vellum – 1 sheet of each of 12 Designs
  • Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Best Route Designer Series Paper – Cut into 6 x 6″ pieces
  • Garden Impressions 6 x 6″ Designer Series Paper – 1 sheet of each of 12 Designs
  • Tropical Escape 6 x 6″ Designer Series Paper – 1 sheet of each of 12 Designs
  • Wood Textures 6 x 6″ Designer Series Paper – 1 sheet of each of 12 Designs

This stack of Designer Series Paper would cost you over £150 if you were to buy it all, but, if you join in with this paper share you can get a 6 x 6″ sample of each pack of paper for just £45 including Postage and Packing.

 

Colour and In-Colour Paper Share

This share includes a piece of each of the double sided Designs of the Colour Collection Designer Series Paper and the In-Colour Designer Series Paper. The Colour and In-Colour Paper Share includes 20 sheets of Designer Series Paper from each colour family. This share is based on 2 people sharing, and costs £35 including Postage and Packing.

 

How to Join in…

Please use the form below to sign up for a Paper Share. Please note that I will be sending invoices out between the  22nd and 31st of May, and that these need to be paid before midnight on the 31st May so that I can place the order on the 1st June. I hope (providing that we don’t have any back order issues) to have your shares out to you by the middle of June.

I can only offer Paper Shares to customers in the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria. Although, if you are outside the UK there will be an extra charge for postage to cover international delivery.

No Fields Found.

Thanks so much for stopping by StampinByHannah today, and I hope to see you again soon

How to make a lidded box for Neal’s Yard Bee Lovely Hand Cream

How to make a Lidded Box for Bee Lovely Hand Cream from Neal's Yard using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah How to make a lidded box for Neal’s Yard Bee Lovely Hand Cream

It’s been a while since I shared a 3D project on the blog. It really is something I’d like to do more of, it’s just not something that comes particularly naturally to me. However, this box came together super fast!

I LOVE the look of hand-made boxes with separate lids, but getting the lid to be the perfect size to fit is a little tricky. My method of doing this is to cut the lid ever so slightly bigger than needed. I used to at 1/16″ or 1mm, but now I tend to not even add that much! For the measurements of this box check the end of this post.

How to make a lidded box using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

I have recently signed up as a Neal’s Yard Remedies Organic Consultant, and this hand cream arrived in my Starter Kit and it smells amazing! You can see the full range over on my NYROragnic webstore, or order a free catalogue using my Contact Me page.

Measurements:

Box Base:

Card stock; 9-1/2 x 7-1/4″ (25 x 18 cm)

Score on the long side at 2-1/4, 4-1/2, 6-3/4, and 9″ (6, 12, 18 and 24 cm)

Score on the short side at 2-1/4″ (6 cm)

Box Lid:

Designer Series Paper; 4-1/4 x 4-1/4″ (12 x 12 cm) — this is where you could also add 1/16″ or 1mm

Score on all 4 sides at 1″ or 3cm

Neal's Yard Bee Lovely Hand Cream Gift Box using Stampin' Up! products Video Tutorial

The Neutral coloured box uses the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper which is carrying over into the new Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue, while the Lemon Lime Twist version uses Naturally Eclectic which is only available While Stocks Last on the Retiring List!

Both boxes also use the Jar of Love stamp set, for that cute bug stamp, and the coordinating Everyday Jars framelits. I love the look of tone on tone stamping here, where you stamp with the same colour ink as your card stock. Very Classic.

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge 018 Lemon Zest Sunshine Birthday Card

Inspire.Create.Challenge Card making Theme Challenge Sunshine

As we head towards summer here in the UK we are all hoping for some more Sunshine… but you know, you can always make your own! For me Sunshine says Bright colours and fun…. and I hope that my card for Inspire.Create.Challenges fits that brief!

Bright and Fun Birthday Card using Lemon Zest from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

It has been FAR too long since I pulled this stamp set off my Stamp Shelf! Lemon Zest is so fun… and it has a coordinating punch… but it’s one I have really struggled to use! So, this is a bit of a two part challenge for me this week, one, to make a card that says ‘Sunshine’ and two, to make something with this fabulous Stamp Set!

The card itself is Old Olive, with layers of Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White, a splatter of Old Olive ink… and then I’ve gone to town with circle dies!

How to make a quick and easy Birthday Card using Lemon Zest from Stampin' Up! with #stampinbyhannah

It’s always really easy to forget what sentiments a theme’d stamp set like this contains… but how lovely is that Happy Birthday?

I cannot wait to see you ‘Sunshine’ cards over at Inspire.Create.Challenge, do check out the other Design Team inspiration too!

StampinByHannah April Customer Thank You Card Featuring Hand Delivered from Stampin’ Up!

 

Every month I send each and every customer who shops with me a hand made card, and sometimes a special something too. Today I thought I would share my Customer Thank You Card from April. It uses one of the new Stamp Sets from the Annual Catalogue, in actual fact this stamp set is one of the new Hostess Exclusive sets available from 1st June and for FREE with an order of £150 or more.

I also send extra gifts to customer’s who shop using the Code Club Code… Click HERE to find out more!

Hand Delivered Thank You Card using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

The Designer Series Paper on the left hand side is actually on the Retiring List. Petal Passion actually comes in just Black and White, however here it has been coloured with Lovely Lipstick and Call Me Clover (two of the new In-Colours) and a Sponge Dauber. This is super easy to do, just dab the Dauber in the ink and then dab it onto your card stock on Designer Series Paper to transfer the colour. I think it looks very pretty on this paper!

handmade Thank You Card using Petal Passion Designer Series Paper coloured with Sponge Daubers and Hand Delivered from Stampin' Up!

The Hand-Delivered stamp set is a fun take on the 2-step stampin’ technique, the skirt and legs are one stamp, while the board is another! There are heaps of options, actually I shared a different version with my Email subscribers. You can see the Exclusive Video Tutorial by subscribing to my Stampin’ Inspiration emails HERE!

Make It Monday | Quick and easy Perennial Birthday Day Card

Simple Man's birthday card using Perennial Birthday from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Quick and easy Perennial Birthday Day Card

Make It Monday

This weekend I spent most of my time in my craft room, I have finally managed to get myself a little ahead with videos, filmed 7 on Saturday and then my fortnightly Facebook Live yesterday. However, today’s video is quite possibly the shortest tutorial I have ever filmed!

Make It Monday Simple Stamped Birthday Card with Perennial Birthday from Stampin' Up!

When making cards for men, I tend to keep things simple. Often I’ll keep to single layer, and while this card has a couple matts, I think you could count this in that category.

The Happy Birthday uses one of my ‘go-to’ simple stamping techniques; Repeat Stamping. The stamp was actually only inked 3 times to get the effect… check the video to see how it’s done!

 

This card uses my standard card sizes. You can find them over on my Standard Card Measurements Page.

This card was finished with a splatter of Basic Black ink, splattered using a Black Stampin’ Write Marker.
