StampinByHannah The Project Share Project | Inspirational Papercraft!

Thursdays are quickly becoming my favourite day of the week… getting to share projects from 3 of my Stampin’ Sisters, and I have to say, the projects I have for you this week are some of my all time favs!

Helen Slimm

I started at the beginning of Helen’s blog this week to find this fun card! It uses one of my favourite stamp sets from this years Annual catalogue; Happy Birthday Gorgeous! I love how Helen has used the fun flowers and bright colours

Angelina Clark

Angelina has used another one of my current favs…. Beautiful Day, for this card. Simple, classic and Beautiful!

Sally Shaw

Sally has out-done herself again this week with a fabulous 3D project AND a video tutorial. Do check on her name (or the picture to see it!)

Thanks for checking out StampinByHannah today… hope to see you again tomorrow for a fun video tutorial!

International Blog Highlights | Petal Palette card for Sara!

Petal Palette Fancy Fold Card for Kylie's International Blog Highlights using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights Petal Palette card for Sara!

You know you’ve had a busy month when Facebook reminds you that not only do you have 5 events this week that you can’t remember… but that one of them is Kylie’s International Blog Highlights, and you can’t even remember what the theme is! Yes, this was me first thing on Monday morning… and if it wasn’t for our May Day Bank Holiday in the UK this post would not be here!

This month’s Blog Highlight theme is Cards for Sara! I LOVE this idea… Sara Douglass is the CEO of Stampin’ Up! and she is incredible. So, to celebrate this Kylie has tasked us with creating a special card for her to say Thanks! Now, remember how I said I’d forgotten about this… well, in my panic to find some inspiration at 07:30 on a Monday morning, I jumped onto Sara’s Facebook Page and found one of the cards that Stampin’ Up! have sent to one of the recent Million Dollar Sellers. These cards are always so detailed, with heaps of layers, Designer Series Paper, embellishments and ribbons…. and so this card was born!

I’ve recently been breaking down my layers for you… and so I’ll do the same thing here!

Card Base; Fresh Fig – 14.85 x 15.75 cm, scored on the log side at 10.5 cm
Bermuda Bay Layers; 10 x 14.3 cm, 4.8 x 14.3 cm, 6.5 x 10.8 cm
Card Base; Powder Pink – 12 x 10.3 cm, scored on the long side at 6 cm
Petal Passion Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 13.8 cm, 4.3 x 13.8 cm, 5.5 x 12.8 cm
Vellum Pretty Label
Die Cut in Fresh Fig using the Petals and More thinlits
Bird stamped in Bermuda Bay and die cut
Sentiment from Petal Palette stamped in Fresh Fig
Powder Pink stamped flower
Trio of Basic Rhinestones

The Petal Palette stamp set and Petals and More thinlits are both carrying over in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue (Yay!)… but the bundle of the two items together is retiring. So, if you want them both, I’d grab them before the end of May and save yourself 10%! The stunning Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is on the Retiring List…. and it’s now while stocks last!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and please do head over to Kylie’s Blog to see the other Projects for her International Blog Highlights and to vote for you favourite creations!

Team Training Cards using Retiring Ink Colours…

Stampin' Up! Retiring Colours Colour Revamp card using Beautiful Bouquet from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Team Training Cards using Retiring Ink Colours…

I have 2 fabulous cards to share with you today! Before we get to them though, I do what to let you know about the Retiring List. The WHOLE list is now While Stocks Last…. so RUN and grab your favourites now! I also have to say that I wrote this blog post a while ago, and so some of the colours on these cards might not be available!

These 2 cards both use the fabulous Beautiful Bouquet stamp set. Now, I actually haven’t bought this one! These cards were a fabulous make and take project from a recent team training event… but I think I am convinced that these stamps need to find a home on my stamp shelves! Actually, I need to do it sooner rather than later, as the stamp and coordinating die bundle (that saves you 10%) retires at the end of the month…. better get my skates on!

This first card uses a combination of Marina Mist, Chocolate Chip and Pear Pizzazz (and a touch of Wink of Stella!)…. and it got a LOT of ‘ooh’s! at the event!

Marina Mist and Chocolate Chip are just 2 of the colours retiring at the end of the month. While I am sad to see them go, I am SO excited about the new colours coming! My new ink pads arrive in my craft room this week, and I’ll share my pre-order with you on Facebook Live on Sunday Morning!

You can find more information about the up-coming Colour Revamp HERE!

This second card uses the retiring Sweet Sugarplum, Marina Mist and Perfect Plum, along with Pear Pizzazz. I LOVE the layered stamp look here, its a great way to get more from those little stamps!

Make It Monday | Share What You Love Gorgeous!

Make It Monday Happy Birthday using Share What You Love from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Share What You Love Gorgeous!

I’ve been a little obsessed with the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper recently. I still have heaps of samples using it to share with you from my Display Board from Stampin’ Up! OnStage back at the beginning of April…. so many that I might just do a really long post with all the cards on! I was planning on spreading them out over a few weeks, but I’m having a lovely period of creativity at the moment, and I keep making more!

Today’s card combines the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper with one of my favourite stamp sets from the past year; Happy Birthday Gorgeous!

This fun card features a large piece of that Share What You Love Designer Series Paper, along with one of those beautiful Pearlised Doilies. I will admit I wasn’t convinced by these new doilies when I first got my hands on them, but the more I’ve used them the most I LOVE them. The Pearlised finish is only on one side, the other side is a matt white….so they could be any colour you choose, you just need to grab an ink pad and a sponge! Love that! The Designer Series Paper and the Doilies are both part of the Share What You Love Early Release Bundles… check them out!

I have been playing a lot with layers recently, and this card shows that off too! Ready for the card recipe?

Mint Macaron Card Base; 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long side at 14.85 cm
Basic Black card stock; 13.3 x 9 cm
Share What You Love Designer Series Paper; 12.8 x 8.5 cm
Half a Pearlised Doily
Half a Pretty Label punched out of Champagne Foil Sheet
2 Leaves punched from Vellum using the Leaf punch
Classic Label punch stamped with 2 stamps from Happy Birthday Gorgeous

The Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set can currently be found on the Retiring List…. but it’s not going anywhere. It’s featured on the Retiring List because it is currently bundled with a fabulous Happy Birthday Thinlit die, and the bundle is being retired at the end of this years Annual Catalogue. The bundle price allows you to save 10% when you buy the stamp set and die together, so I’d be grabbing this one sooner rather than later to get that discount!

What is a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator? and why you want to be one!

StampinByHannah What is a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator? and why you want to be one!

Becoming a part of Stampin’ Up! might be one of the best things I have ever done! I have talked about what Stampin’ Up! has done for me before, but today I want to talk to you about what it means to be a Demonstrator… and why it’s really not scary!

What is a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator?

Ok, so I’m not so sure about the word ‘Demonstrator’ in this sentence! Because it implies that you need to Demonstrate something… that is not the case! A Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is simply someone who has bought a Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit (best deal in the catalogue!)… and gets 20% discount on their crafty purchases. Some Demonstrators choose to just buy for themselves, while others make fabulous businesses out of it, some do craft fairs and live classes, some prefer to sit behind a camera and make YouTube videos, some simply just craft with their friends.

What does it take to become a Demonstrator?

All you have to do is buy a Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit! That is it! The kit costs £99…. and is fully customisable (you choose what goes in it!). You get to pick £130 worth of crafty goodies to put in your kit, and Stampin’ Up! throw in a pack of catalogues, and some other handy bits and pieces too.

Your Demonstrator period lasts a minimum of 3 months… if you join today you would remain a Demonstrator without spending anything else until the end of September. However, you can continue your Demonstratorship by selling (or shopping) approximately £270 worth of Stampin’ Up! goodies! If you don’t reach this value nothing bad or scary happens (The Stampin’ Up! police don’t come to your door and demand your crafty stash back!)… you first have a Pending month, before you drop back to be a happy customer.

What are the benefits of being a Demonstrator?

Oh man… there are SO many! Where shall I start?

20% Discount on your Stampin’ Up! purchases
Catalogue Pre-order periods
Access to Stampin’ Up! events
An Exclusive magazine; Stampin’ Success
Invitations to a fabulous Demonstrator community on Facebook
Opportunities to attend team events and retreats
The chance to earn a holiday
Inspiration
Friendships
and much much more…

Why join during May?

The Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit is a great deal any month… but May is a great time to join! Demonstrators are currently able to pre-order from the Stampin’ Up! 2018 Annual catalogue, and you can add these goodies into your Starter Kit too!

With the changes to the Stampin’ Up! colour families and inks, grabbing a Starter Kit is a great way to get all the colours at a discount!

You could add the Share What You Love Bundles to your Starter Kit and get them for even better value!

How do I join?

It’s easy…. just follow THIS link to complete your order of a Starter Kit!

You can find more information on my Joining Page, or check out my Joining FAQ’s

Scrapbook Page | Share What You Love from Stampin’ Up!

Share What You Love 12 x 12 Scrapbook page using Love What You Do from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Scrapbook Page Share What You Love from Stampin’ Up!

Ok, so I have spoken before about how Scrapbooking was my first papercraft… But I’ve never really shared it here on my blog. Until now! I HOPE to be bringing you some more memory keeping really soon, I have 4 of these posts planned but when the other 3 will go live I’m not sure yet!

I have a video for this one that probably shows this project better than the photos (something else I need to work on!). This page is destined to end up in my Wedding Album, when I am able to get all that goodness back out of storage! All my wedding photos are stored together, hence why there isn’t an actual photograph on this page.

The paper here is all from the Share What You Love Speciality Designer Series Paper pack. I LOVE this paper! It features some lovely pearlised highlights, floral prints and beautiful colours too. This paper is officially released on the 1st June, BUT you can get in now in the Gotta Have It All Bundle as part of the Share What You Love Early Release.

I’ve also stamped the background with the coordinating Love What You Do stamp set. It’s stamped here in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, straight onto the Whisper White 12 x 12 background.

Inspire.Create.Challenge 017 Sketch Challenge with Share What You Love from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge 018 Share What You Love Sketch Challenge

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a sketch! I do LOVE a good sketch challenge, and while I’m sharing heaps of Share What You Love inspiration this week I thought I would continue to do that here too…

I’ve kept things simple again this week… as I made this project on Saturday afternoon… but using the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper you really don’t need to do much else! It’s simply stunning!

This is also the first time I’ve given you a peak at one of the new In-Colours here on the blog! This card features the brand new Grapefruit Grove, as well as one of the returning favourites; Mint Macaron (having a party to celebrate this one!). While it’s not a colour combination I think I’ll be reaching for often, I quite like it!

Don’t forget to head over to Inspire.Create.Challenge to see the creations from the rest of the Design Team, and to share your creations with us to!

Share What You Love | Early Release Bundles…

Share what you love a little more please bundle

StampinByHannah Share What You Love Early Release Bundles…

Oh my goodness…. how exciting is this! 4 fabulous bundles of brand new products released a whole month ahead of the new Stampin’ Up! 2018 Annual Catalogue. Yesterday I featured some one of the stamp sets and the Designer Series Paper… and today you can grab them for yourselves!

This is the first of the 4 bundles… perfect for a crafty gift, or if your just getting started with card making! My Newsletter Exclusive video tutorial from yesterday used these fabulous products to make a really quick and simple card. You can subscribe to my weekly emails at anytime HERE!

The second one of our bundles is perfect for someone who wants to get going using ribbons and embellishments on their projects. The ribbon that comes in this bundle is GORGEOUS… and don’t get me started on the doilies and those Artisan Pearls! I know that you could get masses of cards from this bundle…. you could get 48 card bases just from the pack of Share What You Love Card stock!

The 3rd bundle is the one that I think is the MUST HAVE! Not only do you get 3 fabulous stamp sets, card stock, and embellishments… you get a whole pack of the gorgeous Share What You Love Speciality Designer Series Paper. This would be the perfect kit to add to your Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit! Worth noting actually, is that the Annual Catalogue Pre-Order period for Demonstrators also starts today… and so by grabbing a Starter Kit you could also get your hands on some other fantastic new products too!

The 4th bundle is so fun! This 4th ‘bonus’ bundle gives you all 5 of the new Stampin’ Up! Ink Pads… in the new ink pad style. I am totally in LOVE with these colours, and cannot wait to get creative with them.

You can get all of these bundles in my Online Store from today! Shop HERE!
