Inspire.Create.Challenges Colour Challenge December 2017 using Lots of Love from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenges 007 | Colour Challenge

This weeks Inspire.Create.Challenge has a festive feel, however, I made a very conscious decision NOT to make a Christmas card this week. Partly because I have made more Christmas cards this year than I have people to send them too, and partly because tomorrow is the LAST day to shop Stampin’ Up! to ensure your goodies arrive before the man in the red suit, and so I would expect that you have probably finished making this years cards too!

Keeping things pretty simple this week… I’m sure we have enough to do without making complicated cards too. So, it’s an almost one layer affair with a Big ol’ sentiment and some accent stamping!

I love this type of card for a quick ‘thinking of you’ or ‘thank you’ card. I thought this would be perfect for a simple Valentines, or even a sympathy card. There are lots of times we send Love… and why not send it handmade!

All the stamps here are from the Lots of Love stamp set. I am LOVING big sentiments at the moment, ones that fill the front of your card and make sending that handmade Love really quick and easy. Once that sentiment is stamped in Crumb Cake, it’s a simple case of adding leaves and flowers in the other colours in key areas. When I’m accent stamping like this, I tend to go for 3 groups of stamped images, the same way I do when I’m added embellishments. The eye loves a trio of things, and it helps to pull you around the card too.

We would LOVE to see what you do with this colour combination, check out the other Design Team members creations over at Inspire.Create.Challenges!

International Blog Highlights | All About Flowers

How to make a quick and easy floral birthday card using Birthday Blooms from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights All About Flowers

I had so much fun taking part in Kylie’s International Blog Highlight last month, that I knew I just HAD to do it again! This month’s challenge is ‘All About Flowers’ and while I have a small mountain of flower stamps, I have chosen to grab my favourite; Birthday Blooms.

I stamped the big bloom in Basic Grey onto Whisper White card stock, then sponged Fresh Fig ink over the bottom left hand corner before die cutting the whole thing using the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I don’t know about you, but I seriously can NOT put these away! They are most definitely one of my most used products in 2017.

The flower is the main focus of this card, and so I tried to keep the rest of the card pretty simple. I love the hearts boarder stamp, but I can sometimes struggle to actually use it! Here it is stamped in Powder Pink. I stamped the sentiment, and put the card together, but it felt just a little plain. So, I added some Basic Grey splatter with a Stampin’ Write Marker.

I hope that you have enjoyed your visit to StampinByHannah today. Please do take a moment to sign up for my twice weekly inspirational emails, or subscribe to my blog, and I hope to see you again soon

Christmas Countdown | Designer Series Paper Crackers…

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown Designer Series Paper Crackers…

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Oh my goodness…. we are at Week 12 of this years Christmas Countdown! We are however, going out with a BANG (quite literally!)

I do appologise for the late-ness of this week’s Christmas Countdown. I had started to write it on Wednesday, but was called into the day job at very very short notice and didn’t get chance to get my post finished. But, I am up (not very) early this morning and I will Live Blog the rest!

Square Crackes Video Tutorial using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Yes…. we have CRACKERS! These are super quick and simple to make… and they only use a piece of Designer Series Paper that 6 x 5-1/2″ (15 x 13 cm), so you can get 4 out of a single piece of 12 x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 6 x 5-1/2″ (15 x 13 cm)

Score on the long side at; 1, 1-1/2, 2, 4, 4-1/2, and 5″ (2.5, 3.5, 4.5, 10.5, 11.5 and 12.5 cm)

Score on the short side at 1-1/4, 2-1/2, 3-3/4 and 5″ (3, 6, 9, and 12 cm)

The trick to make the ends of the crackers is all in the use of the Envelope Punch Board! Check the video for how it works…

Repeat Stamping with Half Full

StampinByHannah Repeat Stamping with Half Full

I am LOVING the Half Full stamp set at the moment! My lovely team leader kindly gifted this stamp set to me at team training in November, and while it hadn’t appeared on my Must Have list, I have had heaps of fun making cards with it. (I even made my mother’s birthday card with it a few weeks ago!). I actually made this card at the same Team Training and got lots of ooohs and aahhs after I made it.

My favourite stamp in the Half Full Stamp Set is this one with the collection of wine glasses. The stamp actually only has 6 wine glasses on it, but I have stamped it repeatedly here to create this fun background. This can look really tricky, but is really simple… I actually free-hand stamped here, but I do have some ways you could ensure perfect placement too

Grab your ruler and pencil and draw feint lines across your card stock to use as a guide for stamping. Once you have stamped, give your ink a couple of minutes to ensure it is dry and erase the pencil
Use a stamp-a-ma-jig… I LOVE mine and use it all the time to ensure perfectly positioned images
Reserve your Stamparatus today…. although it won’t help with your stamp positioning until March 2018, this stamp positioner WILL revolutionise the way you stamp!

I choose to keep this card simple, and let that background stamping do most of the talking! However, I could not pass the chance to play with some Mini Gold Sequin Trim, or tie a bow in the GORGEOUS Basic Black Shimmery Ribbon!

International Blog Highlights | Oh So Eclectic Love Card

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights Oh So Eclectic Love Card

Hello! I am so honoured to be blogging this evening. Regular readers of my blog will know that this is super late for me to be publishing a blog post, but I have a special reason. I took part in Kylie Bertucci’s International Blog Highlight in November, and was chosen in the top 10! So, tonight is the Top 10 blog hop to celebrate!

We had a theme; Love, which was the same theme as the card that I made a few weeks ago. Love…. in November / December is not really where my crafty mojo is (I’m in full Christmas mode), and so changing gear to Love was a little tricky. I pulled out my favourite Annual catalogue stamp set, and the coordinating dies though and started to play! And this is what I made….

The Oh So Eclectic stamp set and the matching Eclectic Layers dies are just so pretty. A few weeks ago I spotted a card on Facebook where someone had created a card and inlay die cut the background die. You guys know I’m a sucker for a technique, and I haven’t done Inlay die cutting for ages!

Step by Step:

die cut a piece of Whisper White card stock using the background die from Eclectic Layers, and remove all the diamond shapes
die cut a piece of Dapper Denim card stock using the same die. Save the pieces from the inside
adhere the piece of Whisper White to a card base (I’ve used Flirty Flamingo here)
put a dab of glue in a few of the open areas on the Whisper White card stock, and add pieces of Dapper Denim from the die.

The piece that attracted me to this particular die set was the heart die. This die doesn’t cut but embosses a cute geometric heart pattern. I used the die repeatidley down the strip of Dapper Denim card stock, and then created a clutter of die cut and stamped pieces to finish the card.

I hope that you have enjoyed stopping off at StampinByHannah today, do check out the other Love themed projects in our Blog Hop tonight and I hope to see you again soon!

Bike Ride with a dog….

Bike Ride guy card using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Bike Ride with a dog….

I have two blog posts for you today… the second is coming to you later tonight, but I made both that card and this one within 10 minutes of each other so I thought I would share them (almost) together!

This card uses the Bike Ride stamp set and coordinating Build a Bike Framelits. I have had the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper out on my craft desk recently, and I took colour inspiration from the piece I have used here. Tangerine Tango always reminds me of my step-father in law who owns a classic VW campervan in a very similar shade of orange, which also always seems to lead me to Early Espresso.

The Bike Ride Stamp Set also features one of my favourite stamping techniques; 2-step stamping. The bike is made up of a number of stamps; the bike frame, wheels, wheel rims, seat, handles, and peddles.

The dog also uses a few stamps to create the multi-coloured image we end up with. How cute is this pup with his orange scarf!

The Bike Ride stamp set doesn’t include any sentiments, so I have pulled this one from Oh So Eclectic. It is stamped in Tempting Turquoise to tie into the Designer Series Paper and the ink Splatter in the background
