Learn to stamp Cardmaking 101 online card class

I have been super busy over the past couple of weeks prepping my fabulous new Learn to Stamp Club! I am totally in LOVE with the projects I have created for you. The club features the Birthday Blossoms stamp set, and today’s card is a club reject!

Perfect Floral Birthday Wedding Card using Birthday Blossoms Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!This totally gorgeous creation uses the Birthday Blossoms stamp set and the coordinating Pansy Punch (which also comes as part of the club!). It has a Powder Pink card base, with layers of Melon Mambo and Very Vanilla. I LOVE this colour combination! I will be the first to admit that Melon Mambo is not my favourite Stampin’ Up! pink… it just a bit cold for me. But in this colour combination, Yum!

Learn to stamp club card using Birthday Blossoms from Stampin' Up!The punched flowers are stamped in Melon Mambo onto Very Vanilla card stock, and punched out with the coordinating Pansy Punch. I almost left it like that… but you guys know I am OBSESSED with Vellum (I’m almost out…. I have less that one sheet left! It must be time for an order!). So, I added a punched Vellum flower to each stamped one with a Glue Dot. These flowers look even more fabulous with some extra dimension, I do this my gently curling each petal with my fingers.

The flowers are finished with one of the Faceted Gems in Clear.

The flowers were added to the card using Fast Fuse (my favourite!) over the top of a background stamped in Powder Pink.

I would LOVE to add you to my Learn to Stamp Club… Club members will receive HEAPS of fun products, exclusive tutorials and videos over the next 6 months. You can find all my Club information under the ‘Club’ tab at the top of the page.

Before I go today… I just want to remind you that today is the LAST DAY for the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Special on Designer Series Paper. Don’t miss out!

These first two cards are super simple to put together AND they use lots of Designer Series Paper… great for working through that paper stash! This second card uses my favourite print in the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper pack…. I just LOVE all that colour!

Didn’t catch my Facebook Live video… see it by clicking the link below..

The second set of cards from my last Facebook Live uses the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper pack.

Sending Love Thinking of You Card using Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

This card was totally inspired by my friend Caroline… she also used the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper, but a different pattern. I love that our cards are similar and yet totally different! even though we have used the same supplies!

Love You card using Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

This final card uses the Whole Lot of Lovely Designer Series Paper, along with the Lots of Love stamp set… and the lovely Layered Leaves 3D embossing folder (love that one!)… to create a simply, fun card. I am a sucker for a fun colour combination, and I think I might have to pull this one out again soon!

Christmas Countdown | Calorie-free Advent Countdown!

Christmas Countdown Calorie Free Advent Calendar Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown | Calorie-free Advent Countdown!Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Hello!

Every year I make an advent calendar for my husband…. I vary the chocolates every year, and he LOVES it (yes, he really is just a big kid!). Two years ago I made a larger one that could hold two chocolates … but this year I am trying to be more careful about my chocolate intake. So, while I have made one for James (that’s coming to a YouTube channel near you NEXT friday!) I still wanted something for myself!

I spend FAR too long on social media (don’t we all!) and spotted a similar project a few weeks ago… But I cannot for the life of my remember where I saw it, or who it was! However, here is my Calorie Free Advent Calender….

Christmas Countdown Calorie Free Advent Calendar Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up

I am loving this Basic Black and Old Olive colour combination for Christmas this year…. I made a card using the same combination earlier in the week (you can find it HERE!)

My other favourite product in this project is the awesome Everyday Label Punch, as well as coordinating with TWO stamp sets in the Autumn/Winter catalogue…. it makes the perfect layer on your cards and projects… especially when punched out of Vellum (Yum!)

Measurements:

For the numbers….

Basic Black card stock – 3 x 3″ (7.5 x 7.5 cm)

Whisper White layer – 2 3/4 x 2 3/4″ (7 x 7 cm)

 

For the Frame….

The frame is THIS one from Ikea….. LOVE Ikea, don’t you!

Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper – 22 x 22 cm

Whisper White Layer – 20 x 20 cm

Christmas Countdown Calorie Free Advent Calendar Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up!

My favourite part of this project is the leaf wreath. Punched out using the Leaf Punch, a whole heap of leaves in Basic Black and Old Olive…. adhered to the backing with Hot Glue. By using my Glue Gun I was able to give the wreath some extra dimension, as not all the leaves lay flat.

What is your Christmas Crafting tradition?

Inspire.Create.Challenges #003 | ‘Tis The Season

Fun Christmas Card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up!

Hello! Oh, I am so excited for today’s blog post…. The Inspire.Create.Challenge Design Team have a heap of fun Festive inspiration for you today so do click over and see everyone else’s projects too!

I am loving being a part of the Inspire.Create.Challenges Team, and I would LOVE to see you join in with our challenges too.

This fortnight’s challenge is to create a Festive project! Now… when I sent this challenge out to the ladies I had many emails back going ‘Festive… is that Christmas?!’…. well, no. Festive could be anything, a celebration… you could make an Easter project if that really floats your boat!

I have gone for Festive = Christmas… but only because that it what I am working on in my Craftroom at the moment and I have Christmas stamps everywhere! However… I have pulled one of the Christmas stamp sets from the Annual catalogue rather than this years Autumn/Winter (which is awesome by the way!)

Fun Christmas Card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up!

This stamp set was my absolute favourite from last years Autumn/Winter catalogue and I was SO excited to see it carry forward into the Annual this past year. Christmas Pines has a fun collection of pinecones, leaves, and GORGEOUS sentiments… . I am such a sucker for  pretty font and this set is full of pretty fonts!

I have written a full tutorial that you can print… that you can find HERE!

Fun Christmas Card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using Christmas Pines from Stampin' Up!
Isn’t that cluster so pretty?! I stamped the Pine Leaves stamp 3 times in Old Olive, without re-inking inbetween to create a dimensional look. Then I used the Pretty Pines Thinlits to die cut 3 different sized leaves from Old Olive card stock and added them over the top of the stamping with Glue Dots.
Those Pine Cones are also in the Christmas Pines stamp set and have been embossed in Gold before being die cut with the coordinating Pretty Pines dies. The cluster is then finished with that gorgeous bow in Real Red card stock….. finally, I bow I can make look pretty!
I would LOVE to see your festive creations this week… check the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog to enter.

Global Design Project #109 | Just For You

Global Design Project Just For You Watercolour Card using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up!

I had a busy day in my craft room yesterday… but was really struggling to get creative. So, I turned to an old favourite – the Global Design Project – for some fabulous inspiration.

This week they are featuring a Colour Challenge…. and what a great combination they are working with!

The Old Olive and Black colour combination immediately pointed me at the lovely Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper from the Autumn Winter Catalogue… this festive paper features just three colours (Basic Black, Old Olive and Whisper White) and a range of Christmas/Winter-y images and more generic patterns. This paper is paired with the Merry Little Labels bundle in the catalogue and I have also carried that through onto this card.

Global Design Project Just For You Watercolour Card using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up!

This is one of those cards with lots of layers of detail; from the Old Olive watercolour wash, to the punched Vellum Pretty label, the Loops of Gold Metallic Thread to the Gold Heat Embossed leaves from Painted Harvest!

Global Design Project Old Olive and Basic Black Christmas Card using Merry Little Labels and Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up!

I have another project this week with this colour combination…. check back on Friday for something extra special!
