Inspire.Create.Challenge 144 | Colour Combination with In The Moment…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah, This past 2 weeks has been a little crazy, particularly as I have worked 7 out of 8 days in my day job, which has left me with zero opportunity to craft, or even think about crafting. So, this week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge was a fabulous way for me to kick start my creative flow again. This week we have a three colour combination; of your favourite colours! Mine are Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve and Pool Party.

My stamp collection is a little depleted at the moment following the end of the last Annual Catalogue, but its given me the chance to use some oldie but goldies! This is In The Moment, and I don’t think I had ever inked this particular stamp before.

Stamped with Memento, and the coloured with Stampin’ Blends. I added some ink splatter to the background with a Stampin’ Blend in Dark Moody Mauve too.

InspireINK Blog Hop | Happy Birthday with Share a Milkshake

InspirInk Blog Hop Header Stampin' Up! team blog hop

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months InspireINK blog hop. This months theme is ‘Birthday’, I cannot wait to see what the rest of the team have created. To find out, you can use the links at the end of this blog post.

I am still loving the Share a Milkshake stamp set, and I just think it’s the perfect stamp set for a birthday card (other than the fact it doesn’t have a ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment!).

This card was inspired by this one that I found on Pinterest. I haven’t used Crumb Cake like this for ages, I do LOVE a Crumb Cake background. The other colours here are Pretty Peacock and Bubble Bath.

Global Design Project #394 | Thanks Petal Park Slimline Card Idea

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for another fun Global Design Project Challenge. This week its a fabulous sketch, which specified a Slimline card. This is not a style of card I make often, but I really enjoyed making this one.

I die cut 3 of the circles from the Stylish Shapes dies to create 3 masks for the circles, and then blended Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock and Sweet Sorbet through them. If you look really closely you can see the little stitch marks! The punched flowers are from Petal Park and are stamped in the same 3 colours.

Fathers Day Blog Hop | An Idea with Best Family Ever from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for a blog hop all focused on Fathers Day ideas. I know that Fathers Day can be difficult for some of you, and so I am absolutely not offended if you click away now.

Each year I am lucky enough to make 3 Fathers Day cards. One for my own dad, one for my husbands dad, and one for his step-dad. Most years they get the same card, but this year, they might be different as I am sure I will be totalling inspired by some of the cards in this blog hop!

Keeping things fairly simple for this card. Using one of the Basic 3D Embossing folders for the background, actually I just embossed the front of the card blank! and then stamping with Best Family Ever for the sentiment. There is only one ink colour on this card; Night of Navy, although I have stamped it off and then used a Blender pen to colour that cute critter from Zany Zoo!

Happy Birthday with Zany Zoo

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! Today’s card is very special, it was my daughters 4th birthday last week (the last 4 years have gone so super fast… not idea how she is 4 already!), and so I had to make her a birthday card. She LOVES to spend time with me in my craft room, and while she doesn’t join in much, she loves to watch and chat while I craft.

This card was inspired by THIS card from Jaimie Babarczy…. and it does use a couple of retired bits. The cute critter and the Designer Series Paper are both from the Zoo Crew suite, and in fact this little guy isn’t stamped at all, but actually cut from the Designer Series Paper (using a die!) instead.

The large number 4 is sadly a long retired die, but its so perfect for the kids birthdays that it’ll be a feature in my craft room for quite some time yet.

With this card being so special, it also got a stamped inside. I always mean to do this for all my cards, but in reality, it only happens to cards I am actually sending!

And she got a cute envelope too!
