Make It Monday | Step It Up with Petal Palette from Stampin’ Up!

How to make a classic Floral Wedding Congratulations card using Petal Palette from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Step It Up with Petal Palette from Stampin’ Up!

This week’s Make It Monday should have been last week’s Facebook Live… but something came up that needed dealing with that afternoon. So, I had to postpone. I hate doing that! But, it does mean that my next Facebook Live is the start of my new Facebook Live series… and actually I think this project leads nicely into that too…

This is another one of those cards where I have heaps of fun playing with layers! However, it all coordinates beautifully thanks to Stampin’ Up! and the Petal Passion suite. As usual this suite of products all coordinates together, with coordinating Stamps, Dies, Designer Series Paper, Ribbons and more…

Check out the video to see how this card developed….

So, the layers on this card are as follows:

Basic Black card base
Strip of Petal Passion Designer Series Paper
Heat Embossed stamping in Silver
Stamping
Floral die cut from Petals and More…
Stamped and die cut flowers using Petal Palette
Trio of Silver Metallic Enamel Dots

So, I hope you enjoyed today’s video… and don’t forget to Like my Facebook Page to be notified about my next Facebook Live!

Card making video tutorial fun Birthday card with Delightful Daisy from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah How to make a fun Birthday card using Delightful Daisy from Stampin’ Up!

This week I have shared a heap of ways to use up your Designer Series Paper before the new Annual Catalogue lands in May… and today is no different. One of my favourite packs of Designer Series Paper this past year has been the Delightful Daisy. It is a fun take on a classic floral, with a hint of watercolour. Just lovely.

This card came together in less than 15 minutes… check the video for all the details. You can find my Standard Card Measurements on THIS page.

The Happy Birthday sentiment is taken from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp set, which is also this month’s Stamp of the Month!

The Delightful Daisy suite features not only this wonderful Designer Series Paper but also the Daisy Delight Stamp set and coordinating Daisy Punch. Grab the Designer Series Paper and the Stamp and Punch Bundle soon before they retire.

Thoughtful Thursday | New Home Card with Home Life from Stampin’ Up!

Congratulations on your new home card using Home Life from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday New Home Card with Home Life from Stampin’ Up!

This week sees the end of my Thoughtful Thursday series (for now!) as I have something super exciting starting next Thursday with some fabulous Stampin’ Friends. Don’t worry I will still be bringing you my monthly One Little Word updates… and I’m going to incorporate some of the content into Mondays and Fridays too!

I’ve had a HEAP of friends and family move house recently, and New Home cards have been in high demand. Luckily I have the fabulous Home Life Stamp and Die bundle from Stampin’ Up! to make them really easy. Bundles are a great way to save some £££’s… as you save 10% over buying the stamps and dies separately. I shared another fabulous New Home card a few weeks ago…

The colour inspiration was taken from the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper pack. This pack of paper is a fun selection of Berry Burst, Dapper Denim, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive, and it coordinates with those fun Glitter Enamel Dots too!

Stampin’ Up! is all about the coordinating products… it’s one of the many many reasons why I LOVE it! Stamps that match dies, that coordinate with fun Designer Series Paper, which use colours that we have in inks, and card stock, and ribbons and embellishments. Stampin’ Up! make making coordinated projects super easy!

Saying that… the 2018 Retiring list will be released on Monday, and I am 99% sure that most of the current Designer Series Papers will be on it. So if you like a pack, grab it sooner rather than later!

Inspire.Create.Challenges 015 – Quick and Easy Masculine Cards!

Fun Masculine card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using True Gentleman Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenges 015 – Quick and Easy Masculine Cards!

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a Theme… and it’s a Theme that I think a lot of us struggle with, cards for men! They are tricky to please, and they don’t want pink, or floral, or bows… and lets be honest, that’s a LOT of our crafting! However, Stampin’ Up! to the rescue again… with the True Gentleman suite!

This card was inspired by another card I have made recently (that I’ll be sharing with you very soon!). I have been really enjoying making men’s card with the True Gentleman suite, the stamps and Designer Series Paper just tie together so perfectly… don’t you LOVE it when products do that, makes crafting so easy!

The card base is in Sahara Sand, and the first layer is a sheet of Night of Navy card stock embossed using the Hexagons Embossing Folder. You can find my standard card making measurements HERE!

There are 3 different pieces of Designer Series Paper at work here too… along with a circle of DIY Designer Series Paper (stamped using the Truly Tailored stamp set). The circles are all cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits, these dies are definitely at the top of my crafty MUST HAVE list, I use them SO often!

This card is finished with a trio of strips of Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon.

I would LOVE to see you masculine creations, join in with us at Inspire.Create.Challenges!

You’re Just Lovely with Oh So Eclectic

How to make a fun card using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah You’re Just Lovely with Oh So Eclectic

I have made SO many cards this with the Oh So Eclectic Stamp and Die Bundle! I LOVE the bundles in the catalogue, not only to they ensure you get stamps and dies that coordinate, they are also a great way to save cash! When you order a bundle (with its special order number) you save 10% over buying the items separately.

Yesterday I shared a fun way to use up some of those smaller scraps of Designer Series Paper. This card also uses Designer Series Paper, but you’re going to need a slightly bigger scrap. Good then that Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper comes in two sizes… most is 12 x 12″, while some is 6 x 6″… both are perfect for card making!

The Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set coordinates perfectly with the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper, as well as some other fun goodies…

The flower in the Oh So Eclectic Stamp Set matches the one in the Designer Series Paper perfectly, particularly when stamped in Peekaboo Peach. The sentiment is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder.

Just a quick heads up… we are due to get the Stampin’ Up! 2018 Retiring List this coming weekend (keep an eye on my Facebook Page for up to date news!)… but Designer Series Paper very rarely carries over… so if you love this paper as much as I do, I’d be grabbing it sooner rather than later as once that Retiring List goes live ALL items will go into While Stocks Last status… and I wouldn’t want you to miss out on your favourites!

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:

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!
