DIY Designer Series Paper with Good Tidings

Creating your own Designer Series Paper using Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

I love finding different ways to use my stamps…. and one of the techniques I don’t do nearly enough is creating my own Designer Series Paper using stamps! I love doing this kind of repetitive stamping, creating something unique each time, and a truly hand made creation!
Handmade Christmas card with DIY Designer Series Paper with Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

This card features the Good Tidings stamp set (I am totally in LOVE with this one!). This awesome stamp set creates two sizes of holly sprigs with some 2-step stamping. Did you see THIS card I made with this stamp set last week. I am also using a different colour combination from the traditional Christmas…. although I wasn’t sure that it was going to work when I first started stamping! The leaves are in Old Olive and Tranquil Tide, and the berries are Rich Razzleberry and Fresh Fig.

Creating your own Designer Series Paper using Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

This rich colour combo is set against Early Espresso for a classic styled Christmas Card. The sentiment is also taken from Good Tidings, and is stamped in Tranquil Tidy, die cut with the Layered Circles framelits and layered with a scalloped circle of Early Espresso.

Thanks so much for check out my blog today. Check out my store to buy everything you need to make this pretty Christmas Card, and sign up to my email newsletter using the link in the sidebar!

Make It Monday | Faux Stained Glass meets Happy Birthday Gorgeous!

Make It Monday Team Training Swap card Faux Stained Glass technique using Happy Birthday Gorgeous from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

I blogged a card using this technique a few weeks ago, after making THAT card I was working on some swap cards for a recent team training event (that was yesterday, and I will tell you more about it later in the week!) and couldn’t help but use the same design and technique. I love attending crafty events, particularly when they are with my team or Stampin’ Up! One of our favourite things to do at events is to swap creative ideas. This particular swap had a theme, a colour combination of; Island Indigo, Soft Sky, Flirty Flamingo and Whisper White.

Make It Monday Team Training Swap card Faux Stained Glass technique using Happy Birthday Gorgeous from Stampin' Up!

I love the soft look of this card. The Faux Stained Glass technique is a really lovely way to get more out of your Stampin’ Write markers…. Please check the video tutorial for full details.

Measurements:

Card base – 29.6 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long side at 14.8 cm

Whisper White – 12.8 x 8.5 cm

Vellum – 12.8 x 8.5 cm

Island Indigo – 10.5 x 1 cm

Techniques Series | 3D Embossing

Card making techniques 3D Embossing using Stampin' Up! products

Stamping Techniques Series

You guys know how much I love a good technique…. and I love it even more when its simple but effective! and this is one of those. Actually these cards would be awesome on a Simple Sunday, but today is only Friday (and we all love Fridays more than Sundays right?!)

Card making techniques 3D Embossing using Stampin' Up! products

This card would make an awesome birthday card for the special guys in your life, I am sure they will love the fun embossing. The only trick here is the 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folders (see why I just call it 3D embossing!). I love these embossing folders, and Stampin’ Up! have 5 different patterns available (you can find all 5 listed at the end of this post).

These embossing folders are really easy to use, but they are thicker than a standard embossing folder (due to the 3D effect!) and so use a different Big Shot sandwich. You need; your Big Shot Platform (or the platform you use for embossing folders), then the embossing folder and card stock, and ONE standard cutting plate on the top.

Measurements:

Card base – 21 x 14.8 cm

Layer for embossing – 10 x 14.3 cm

Sentiment strip – 10.5 x 2 cm

Card making techniques 3D Embossing using Stampin' Up! products

This card is finished with a birthday sentiment from Guy Greetings stamped on Sahara Sand card stock, and a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots.

Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper Card

Designer Series Paper Thank You Card using Naturally Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

I work a few weeks ahead, always (well, almost always!) and projects usually end up here on my blog a few weeks after they have been made. I am also usually quite organised (I am a planner lover, and just bought myself a new diary….. such a stationary geek!) so cards sit in a nice neat pile on my desk until they are featured on my blog…. except that this card was made and immediately sent, and therefore never got chance to sit in the blog pile, and as such has been forgotten about!

Designer Series Paper Thank You Card using Naturally Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

I love Designer Series Paper…. but struggle to use it on cards (Sound familiar?!). So I thought I would share some of my tips and tricks to using Designer Series Paper with you today:

  • Cut it….. seriously, its easier to use once you have cut it (you can always buy more…. I like the ‘one to cut, and one to stroke’ idea!)
  • Grab the coordinating pack of Card stock with your Designer Series Paper…. that way you always have card stock that coordinates with your Designer Series Paper. (you could take this one step further and grab the ink pads to match too!)
  • Matt your Designer Series paper on coordinating card stock to make it pop
  • If you love lots of the Designer Series Paper….. you could always grab a paper share, saving you cash and the issue of having to use up lots and lots of sheets of 12 x 12″!

Designer Series Paper Thank You Card using Naturally Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

This particular card uses Naturally Eclectic Designer Series paper…. which I cut to pretty random sizes and then cut card stock layers to match. The sentiment is from Thankful Thoughts and the card is finished with a hint of that lovely Night of Navy Crinkle Seem Binding, yum!

How do you use your Designer Series Paper?

Painted Harvest for Christmas

Christmas Wreath Card using Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up!

Last weekend I had a fabulous Catalogue Launch party over on my Facebook page. I love holding this type of event, we have loads of fun, with games, crafty samples and inspiration! I thought I would share one of the cards I made for my launch party with you today!

I was lucky enough to be able to place a good sized pre-order of Stampin’ goodies during August… and one of the stamp sets I knew I just had to have was Painted Harvest. This fun autumn stamp set features a gorgeous Sunflower, along with some lovely Thankful sentiments…. oh and it coordinates with the most lovely Leaf punch too!

Christmas Wreath Card using Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up!The Sunflower stamp became a Christmas wreath for this card; stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive. I added a trio of Real Red ‘berries; too, just to add to the wreath effect. The sentiment is taken from Snowflake Sentiments, and is stamped in Sahara Sand…. the same as the wreath centre (yes I know that wreaths don’t usually have centres….. call it creative stamping!). The card is finished with some dots of Fine Tip Glue.

Thanks for stopping by StampinByHannah today. You can find links to all the products used in this card below, along with a direct link to my shop.

Make It Monday | Good Tidings Catalogue Cards

Make it Monday Christmas Card video tutorial using Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

I have some very special cards to share with you today. I made a heap of these to send out with my Autumn Winter Catalogues (if you haven’t seen the new catalogue, you can find a link in the side bar…). I love this stamp set…. and I am sure I will be sharing heaps more projects with this one really soon!

Make it Monday Christmas Card video tutorial using Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

I loved making these…. I grabbed my stamps and inks a couple of weeks ago and stamped a bunch of these on my knee whilst watching a movie with James. The Good Tidings stamp set features one of my absolute favourite stamping techniques… 2 Step stamping, to make this stunning holly. The stamps line up so easily, and actually even if the stamps are not lined up exactly it doesn’t matter, its still pretty!

The leaves are stamped in Old Olive and Garden Green, while the berries are Real Red and Cherry Cobbler. I die cut the square of Whisper White first, along with the scalloped square of Cherry Cobbler using the Layering Square Framelits.

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black and is taken from Cheers to the Year.

Make it Monday Christmas Card video tutorial using Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!I also LOVE the Designer Series Paper featured on this card…. its called Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper, its a little thinner than the usual Designer Series Paper but its so pretty.
