Oh! Designer Tee I Love you Lots….

Elephant Birthday card using Designer Tee and Love you Lots from Stampin' Up!

Sorry for the pun-y title today, but I just couldn’t help myself when the card uses the Stamp sets Designer Tee and Love You Lots!

Elephant Birthday card using Designer Tee and Love you Lots from Stampin' Up!

I made this card for a friend who LOVES elephants, although I think it would make an equally special New Baby card too. I have been playing around with this card layout for a while now, with a wide boarder around an embossed white layer… partly because I cut and embossed far to many for a project a while back, and partly because I love it!

Cute new baby card using Love you lots and Designer Tee from Stampin' Up!

The Elephant comes from the Stampin’ Rewards Exclusive set Love you Lots … there is only one way to get your hands on this one, its not in the main part of the catalogue but right at the back, and you can only get your hands on it by cashing in your Stampin’ Rewards. These are points that you can earn when you spend over £150 in a single order, you have to redeem them immediately, and during Sale-a-bration you get even more… earning an extra £20 of Rewards when you spend over £200!

The card itself is pretty simple; the Whisper White card stock is embossed with the Polka Dots embossing folder, and the Elephant is stamped in Basic Grey and then cut out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits dies … although I did a bit of die cutting magic to get a smaller rectangle as the shapes in the pack are squares! The inside was also stamped with the Elephant… because we all know that your insides should never be plain!

End of Sale-a-bration Random Acts of Kindness

Sale-a-bration Random Acts of Kindness

Oh yes, I am in full Celebration mode this month….. lets Celebrate (and Sale-a-brate!) with some Random Acts of Kindness…..

Ok, what am I on about? I have a massive stack of hand-made cards and projects as well as some Sale-a-bration products and retired goodies  that are starting to take up an awful lot of room in my teeny tidy crafty office… but I don’t want to just bin them, so, I want to send them to people…. you in fact!
Sale-a-bration Random Acts of Kindness

So, what do you need to do? well, sign up! I will be including anyone who has shopped with me during Sale-a-bration, but I would love to send something to you! I don’t mind if you are a demonstrator, or live in Australia! Sign up with your name and address and I will be popping something in the post to you during April!

Make It Monday | Use up those scraps…..

Make It Monday how to use your scraps of designer series paper using urban underground from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Oh yes, It is Monday! I hope the start to your week is made slightly more awesome by my Make It Monday Video! My week starts with hopefully a whole lot of sleep as I am on night shifts for a couple of nights (not very happy about it really… but needs must!). However, one of the great things about my little corner of the internet and my business is that my web-store is open 24/7, so even though as this goes live I will be ready for my bed, my shop is still open and ready for your orders…. I love that!

Make It Monday Video tutorial how to use your scraps of patterned paper using Urban Underground from Stampin' Up! to make a thank you card

I sent these out to ladies and gentlemen who shopped with me during February (I am hoping that they have either arrived or should be arriving today!). I love sending out a little something to my customers, I hope you enjoy receiving them too!

This card is a great way to use up those bits of Designer Series Paper left over after you’ve cut card fronts or pieces for scrapbook pages out of it. I have used strips of Designer Series Paper that vary in size from 2.5 x 10 cm to 1 x 8 cm, but really you could use whatever you have in your scrap bin!

The Grateful stamp comes from the Designer Tin of cards stamp set… which I love but seem to forget to use! it’s got some lovely sentiments and font though….

Make It Monday how to use your scraps of designer series paper using urban underground from Stampin' Up!

This Designer Series Paper is called Urban Underground; its a lovely combination of Basic Black, Basic Grey and Delightful Dijon on a base of Very Vanilla and contains some lovely patterns. Although it is designed with those tricky men’s cards in mind I know you could get some more feminine cards out of it too. Actually while I’m talking about cards; my current Online Card Class uses this paper to make 6 great Men’s cards and you get a Sale-a-bration item of your choice for joining in… you can find all the info on my Online Card Class page, or by clicking the image below

Avant Garden Congratulations Card

Pretty Floral Congratulations card using Avant Garden and Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK

I send a lot of cards (it is my job after all!) but my absolute favourite type of card to send is Congratulations! I love sending these out to team members and my Stampin’ sisters, and I am trying to be better at sending them to friends and family too. I made this card for one of my lovely Stampin’ buddies who managed something totally amazing a few weeks ago…

Pretty Floral Congratulations card using Avant Garden and Blooms and Bliss Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK

One of the many many reasons I love Stampin’ Up! is coordination, the Designer Series Paper here is in the exact same colours as the stamping on the die cut circle, and as the ribbon, and the card base and the sentiment…. it all matches, there is no guess work, it just works! The Designer Series Paper is from Blooms and Bliss, and is in Mint Macaron, Island Indigo and Sahara Sand…. and I used it as my colour inspiration for the rest of the card.

Congratulations card using Avant Garden and Designer Tee from Stampin' Up! UK

Can you tell that there is a difference between the backing paper and that circle…. the circle is hand stamped using the Avant Garden stamp set in the same colour … see what I was saying about perfect coordination! Now, I know that there is not a Congratulations stamp in Avant Garden – I selected another Sale-a-bration freebie for this one, Designer Tee (more than just for T-shirts!). I am loving this fabulous stamp set that is FREE during Sale-a-bration, all you need to do to claim your copy is spend £45 in my Online Store before 31st March

Oh, and then I finished this one with the first square knot that I have ever tied successfully! So proud, I have no idea why on earth I struggled so much with it, maybe I’m not bow challenge but ribbon challenged instead!

Make It Monday | Stamp Layering with Avant Garden

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Stamp Layering Thank you card using Avant Garden from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration saleabration

Make It Monday

Oh I have a great week of projects for you this week… a whole week, that’s 7 full days of projects using Avant Garden! I am loving this fabulous stamp set that is FREE during Sale-a-bration, all you need to do to claim your copy is spend £45 in my Online Store before 31st March

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Stamp Layering Thank you card using Avant Garden from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration saleabration

I will confess that I was totally struggling for inspiration for this Make It Monday, but I turned to my main source of inspiration (no, not Pinterest – although that comes a close second!) but the Stampin’ Up! Catalogue. One of the concerns I get a LOT when I’m talking to those of you thinking of joining my lovely team, is about inspiration and not being able to think of things to make for blog posts or classes or parties, and I have to say that Stampin’ Up! give us SO much inspiration that I don’t think that you ever need to look anywhere else…. not only do we have 3 fabulous catalogues filled with ideas every year, but demonstrators also get weekly emails, videos, and events all filled with inspiration, ideas and even techniques and tips! So, I don’t feel guilty for borrowing this card idea from the Sale-a-bration catalogue!

I have changed the colour combination, and added a layer of the gorgeous Sale-a-bration Glimmer Paper in Mint Macaron, but really its very similar to the card in the catalogue!

Make it Monday Video Tutorial stamp layering using Avant garden from Stampin' Up! UK Sale-a-bration SAB

Stamp layering is one of my favourite techniques, getting all inky, playing with different colours and stamps, and every card you make is totally unique! Its really simple, particularly when you use a stamp set like Avant Garden, where the stamps are designed to layer with each other, grab a few inks that work well together and have a play (if you dont want to ‘waste’ card stock, use your grid paper or even some copier paper!)

Don’t forget to shop using the Code Club Code to receive some great FREE product!

Sunday Colour Splash | Congratulations for Special Reason!

Sunday Colour Splash Colour Challenge Floral Congratulations Card using Special Reason from Stampin' Up! UK

Sunday Colour Splash Stampin' Up! Colour Challenge

Oh Yes, here we go again! I’m sure you get the drill by now… use the colours below to make a card, enter your details to win the card… and some other goodies too!

Sunday Colour Splash Colour Challenge Floral Congratulations Card using Special Reason from Stampin' Up! UK

 

I almost took inspiration from the colour combination in my Sunday Colour Splash logo this week, but switched the bright yellow for Basic Gray instead! This card came together really quickly, although I do have to confess a little mistake…. You see the stunning intricate die cut flower? Well, that takes 2 dies, one for the outline and another for the detail in the middle, I managed to cut the outline first and then the details – which is why it is a touch wonky! but seeing as wonky is a theme around here at the minute (really feeling like I should be called the Wonky Crafty rather than Hannah! lol) I though I would leave it… but learn from my mistake!

Sunday Colour Splash Colour Challenge Congratulations Card using Watermelon Wonder Emerald Envy Basic Gray and Special Reason from Stampin' Up!

I’ve been playing with the Special Reason stamp and die bundle again on this one! This bundle is the focus of my current Online Card Class. Booking closes on the 28th at midnight, so you don’t have long to book your place… We are making 6 fabulous cards, and playing around with some gold foil, watercolour and a couple of other techniques too!
