An Oops!, An Update and some Happy Mail!

StampinByHannah An Oops!, An Update and some Happy Mail!

An Oops!

Hello! So, I have a bit of an Oops! for you today… I had planned to restart my Christmas Countdown series this week. But, for several reasons I haven’t managed to get the video filmed and uploaded. This is partly down to my poor planning, but also, do you remember on Monday I promised a video, and that it’s also yet to be seen….. yeah, well, I’m having some upload issues. I should have them resolved over the weekend (when I’ve worked out what is going wrong) and I WILL have extra videos for you next week to make up for it! PROMISE!

An Update

I am SO excited, tomorrow is World Card Making Day! My favourite creative celebration! and I have 2 celebrations to remind you of….

The World Card Making Day Sale is on RIGHT NOW…. and ends on Sunday. Check it out HERE!
I have a fabulous Facebook Live to celebrate tomorrow at 2PM (UK time); join me for some fun cards, ideas and a bit of a haul too. You can find my Facebook HERE or by clicking the link in the sidebar

Happy Mail!

I LOVE getting cute things in the post, and last week I received 2 gorgeous cards from some of my Stampin’ Sisters…. and I just HAD to share them with you too….

This lovely card was sent to me by the gorgeous Janice Thomson of Jazzle Dazzle crafts, as a Thank You for organising out Team Blog Hop a few weeks ago. I LOVE doing these, and Thank You cards are really not necessary, but it’s still always nice to get something through the post! Janice has used the Share What You Love Suite on this card… and one of my absolute favourite pieces of Designer Series Paper!

The second card came from Sam Roberts, of Sam’s Crafty Things. Sam shared a whole week of Thinking of You projects last week and I was so excited to receive one of them! This card uses the fun Pocket Card design from one of our Team Make and Takes from our retreat a few weeks ago, paired with this stunning paper from the Frosted Floral Designer Series Paper Pack. Just Lovely!

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and I hope to see you over on Facebook tomorrow!

Team Retreat | Make and Take Fun!

Pootles Papercraft Team Retreat Make and Take Project

StampinByHannah Team Retreat Make and Take Fun!

This week I’ve been sharing bits from our fabulous Team Crafting Retreat a few weeks ago. On Monday I shared the Swaps I received, and then Tuesday was the swaps I made. Today I want to share some of the other parts of our team events…

Obviously the weekend is dedicated to crafting. This time we had 5 fabulous make and take projects like this one from Pootles Papercraft.

I have to admit that I have only actually completed 2 of the 5 make and take projects…. I spend far too much time chatting and rarely get anything made at all (I’m even worse at official Stampin’ Up! events when we have just been given a new catalogue!).

This was the other make and take I completed. As well as my fabulous team leader Sam doing her make and take, we always have other demonstrators doing some teaching as well. This card was designed by one of our German team members, Tina, although I also have a version of this card from a few months ago.

As well as all the crafting fun this time we were also treated to a leadership dinner, SO much food (it’s been 2 weeks and I am still full!), and discussions around business topics such as blogging, classes and more.

I adore spending time with the team! Want to join me for the next Team Event? You Can! I am always looking for new team members, you can find all the information about becoming a part of Stampin’ Up! on my Join My Team Page or if you have questions, check out my Joining FAQ!

Team Retreat | Mini Origami Chocolate Boxes

Fun no glue mini box using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

StampinByHannah Team Retreat Mini Origami Chocolate Boxes

Yesterday I shared the mountain of swaps I received from the lovely ladies in that photo at our recent Team Retreat in Manchester. Today, I thought I would share the swap I gave them!

I am a big believer in keeping things simple…. especially when you have to make 50 of something. So, I resized a fun box I shared a few weeks ago to fit a popular hazelnut filled chocolate

These cute little boxes are so quick and easy to make. In fact, I recently had to attend a train the trainer day as part of my day job where we had to teach each other a skill…. and I taught these! The other ladies where mesmerised as a flat sheet of paper became a fun and useful box!

These boxes use the fun Tea Room Speciality Designer Series Paper, as it’s a lighter weight that the standard Stampin’ Up! Paper it’s easier to create the fun origami folds of this box.

Want to join me for the next Team Event? You Can! I am always looking for new team members, you can find all the information about becoming a part of Stampin’ Up! on my Join My Team Page or if you have questions, check out my Joining FAQ!

Team Retreat Swaps…

StampinByHannah Team Retreat Swaps…

Well Hello! I am SO glad to be back blogging again this morning… wondering where I’ve been?! Well, I would love to say I’ve been sunning myself on some hot beach somewhere, but alas no… just struggling with a complete lack of crafty mojo! However, I managed to craft over the weekend, and find time to write some blog posts… and so here I am!

There are some changes coming to StampinByHannah this month as we start the new Stampin’ Up! year and I gear up for the massive challenge that I have set myself this year…. to earn the incentive trip! So, Starting this week I have a weekly Facebook Live planned, along with some other fun classes, clubs and more!

Before we get to that though I thought I would share what I got up to at a recent Stampin’ Up! Team Retreat…

We had THE most fabulous time, and I have a few projects and things to share with you from the weekend over this week.

Today I thought I would share all the wonderful Swaps I received…. Swapping is one of my favourite parts of Stampin’ Up! events. It’s a chance to get a mountain of inspiration in a snap, chat with other demonstrators and bond over your favourite Stampin’ goodies! This time the team out did themselves with some truly wonderful ideas. Click the video to see them all, or there are also some photos of a few of them below….

Swaps Video

—– VIDEO COMING THIS EVENING…… sorry, last minute rush and YouTube failed me 🙁

will share my swap with you tomorrow, but for now here a few images of some of the swaps I received…

I love the creativity you find in a bag of swaps. Not only in the designs and the items people have made, but also in the things people put in them! This time I found chocolates, sweeties, tealights, hand creams, jewellery, scissor charms, and more!

Pootlers Blop Hop | Welcome Autumn / Winter 2018!

Pretty Floral Christmas Card using First Frost from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Pootlers Blop Hop | Welcome Autumn / Winter 2018!

Welcome to the Pootler’s Blog Hop! This time we are celebrating the launch of the 2018 Autumn Winter Catalogue… usually I get a sneaky peak of everyone’s projects as I coordinate the hop, but not this time, so I cannot WAIT to join you in hopping around everyone’s creations!

My absolute favourite suite in this years Autumn Winter Catalogue is the Frosted Floral Suite… it’s a pretty mix of watercolour effect stamps, gorgeous colours and shimmery Designer Series Paper! Yes… I did say that right; Shimmery Designer Series Paper! and Yes, you NEED to see it in real life. So. Pretty!

The flowers and leaves are stamped in Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron; which match perfectly with the colours in the Designer Series paper… or they did until I turned the paper over to use the back side, but I love the Neutral coloured paper against the hand stamped flowers.

The sentiment is die cut using the coordinating die set and the card is completed with a splattering of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls

Check out what the rest of the Pootlers Blog Hop team have been making with the new Stampin’ Up! Autumn Winter Catalogue….

StampinByHannah Leadership Blog Hop | Team Events with Stampin’ up!

Welcome to the Leadership Blog Hop… we are a group of 5 Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators who are currently working together to support our other Stampin’ Sisters (and brothers) while our Team Leader is away on the Stampin’ Up! Incentive Trip to Alaska!

I had heaps of ideas of what I could share with you today…. and then my day job took over this week, and actually getting something made in time provided a little too much. However, I still wanted to let you know about some of the fun things we do as Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators!

Stampin’ Up! Events…

My favourite part of being a part of Stampin’ Up! is events…. of all kinds! Every 6 months Stampin’ Up! host a fabulous Demonstrator Exclusive event; OnStage! The next one is coming in November, but tickets go on sale next month. OnStage is SO much fun… we get to spend the day with hundreds of like-minded Demonstrators, get to see the next catalogue before anyone else, get to take home an exclusive bag full of products too!

Team Events…

BUT we also have team events! Our next team retreat is in September… and we have a jam packed weekend of crafting planned in a luxury hotel in Manchester! I am SO excited…. and more than a little nervous because I’ve managed to volunteer to present too! We also have heaps of Online events… with a busy Facebook group, videos, challenges and much more!

I’ll share the challenge I’ve set the team over on my Facebook Page next weekend…. Because if I share it with you now, it’ll spoil the surprise for them.

You can join in with our events by joining the team right now, and if you do Stampin’ Up! will thrown £63 worth of ink pads into your kit for FREE! How cool is that!

Make It Monday | Team Swaps with Rooted in Nature from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Wonderful Card using Rooted In Nature from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Team Swaps with Rooted in Nature from Stampin’ Up!

3 weeks ago Stampin’ Up! released the 2018 Annual Catalogue…. and this month the team and I have got together to swap cards using new products! I LOVE swapping, particularly with the team, they always have fabulous ideas and swaps are a great way to get some quick inspiration.

I made 7 swap cards… 5 for my swap group, 1 for the lovely Amanda who coordinates our team swaps and one for my team leader too.

I am absolutely LOVING this bundle! I shared THIS fun miniature card using it a few weeks ago on a Facebook Live… but I just couldn’t resist using it again for these team swaps!

I’ve been playing with the new Stampin’ Up! Embossing Mats again too… I shared a fun video on Friday that used a die designed to cut for embossing, but today’s card uses the dies in the Nature’s Roots that are Designed to emboss. They work using a standard Big Shot cutting sandwich… but they are even better if you use the new Embossing Mats!

What would you use this fabulous Rooted in Nature Bundle for?

Stampin’ Up! Team Training and fun with a sketch…

How to make a quick and easy card using a sketch with StampinByHannah Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

StampinByHannah Team Training and fun with a sketch…

One of the many great joys of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is getting to share my creativity. I have a small (and growing) team of Demonstrators, and one of them recently asked if we could do some events. My wonderful team are well aware of my busy day job, and were happy when I suggested a Monthly Team Facebook Live event.

The first week of each month I will be going Live with them, sharing our Stampin’ Up! news, recognition and achievements and some crafting too! This month I was totally inspired by a card I had seen on Instagram… shame I can’t remember who made it, but really it was less about the card and more about the design of it. So, I created a batch of cards using the same design… and this sketch.

So, this months card was a quick and simple one…

This first card is the one I made with the team. I am a little bit obsessed with the Amazing die from the Celebrate You Thinlits cut from Glimmer Paper. This die is stunning, and FREE with a £90 order during Sale-a-bration. The Celebrate You thinlits will also be available in the Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue, but surely it’s better to get them now for free that having to wait until June AND having to pay for them right?!

Now is a great time to consider joining the team… you can find all the information about joining Stampin’ Up! during Sale-a-bration HERE

The second card uses the same piece of Designer Series Paper, from Naturally Eclectic, but the reverse side. I pulled the colours out of the paper to stamp the flowers and sentiment. The stamps are from the Oh So Eclectic stamp set, and then that die again from Celebrate You but this time cut from Gold Glimmer!

Then I though I would make a more masculine version using Truly Tailored. This Designer Series Paper is definitively my current fav… I just cannot get enough! I shared this card on my Facebook Page as a Facebook Live. Facebook Live is so much fun and I am hoping to get a few of these shorter Facebook Live’s in a month, plus my Facebook Live Online Card Class too (which I’ll be sharing here tomorrow!)… do let me know what you would like to see!

I had so much fun with this sketch, I would LOVE to see what you do with it too! Share you creations with me on my Facebook Page or in my VIP Facebook Group.
