Technique Tuesday | Two Step Stamping with Trucking along from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to this month’s Technique Tuesday blog Hop. This month the theme is ‘2-step stamping’ which might be one of my favourite techniques ever!

2- step stamping is fabulous technique, but you do need specifically designed stamp sets for it, what is great those is that Stampin’ Up! make a whole heap of different ones and I’m sure that the rest of the blog hop will share lots of different ideas. Once you’ve enjoyed this post, do hop through the rest of the blog hop using the links at the end.

This card uses Trucking Along which can be found in the Online Exclusives section of the online store. I know it was super popular in some places and so might not still be available everywhere, but we can still get it here in the UK. This card was inspired by a card I found on Pinterest.

One of the things I often do with 2-step stamping is stamp the most solid stamp first, and then add the detail over the top… this makes sense with floral images, but can seem a bit odd with an image like this one.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Simple Stamping with Gift of Giving

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months Technique Tuesday blog hop! This month we are Simple Stamping… which sounds like it would be easy, but I don’t really think I’ve managed it with this card which includes colouring with Watercolour Pencils and Masking! But, I love it… so I’m sharing it regardless!

I’m really enjoying this new stamp set from the September-December Mini Catalogue (out tomorrow!), it great for a bit of colouring but is really lovely just simply stamped too. Here I stamped Santa in Memento Black ink and then coloured him with Watercolour Pencils. I haven’t added any water to this though, because I wanted a sketchy look.

Once he was coloured in I cut a mask from a bit of sticky note (you could use Masking paper… I just use what I had on hand!) by stamping the image again and fussy cutting it. Then used this to cover Santa while I ink blended some Real Red ink into the corner.

Technique Tuesday | Colouring with Zany Zoo….

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this months Technique Tuesday Blog Hop! This month we are Colouring… I absolutely LOVE a bit of colouring in, so relaxing. In actual fact, I coloured this card twice… because the first time I coloured and then die cut and the die slipped, So I coloured it again.

I’ve seen a few people reach for this cute Lama stamp and their Stampin’ Blends recently, and so was totally inspired to have ago. The Lama is Crumb Cake, with the chair in a blend of Daffodil Delight and Wild Wheat, and then the yarn and scarf is Moody Mauve.

Technique Tuesday | Vintage card idea using Nature’s Prints

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for this month’s Technique Tuesday blog hop. This month we are sharing Vintage inspired projects and I chose to re-make a project I made several years ago

This card uses Nature’s Prints stamp set, along with Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie and Boho Blue inks. I really enjoy a layered stamping moment, and here I’ve also added a layer of Crumb Cake ink blended over the top of the leaves and ink splatters. Also, worth noting I’ve used Very Vanilla Card stock here too, rather than my usual Basic White.

The sentiment is stamped in Pecan Pie, and punched it out using the 2″ circle punch.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Designer Series Paper

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month our technique is to use Designer Series Paper. I LOVE Designer Series Paper, I know some people struggle to cut their paper, but I really love to use it! Although, I like using little pieces… very much like on today’s card.

This card was inspired by THIS card by Kaylee Den Breejen. Kaylee’s card used coloured Designer Series Paper, but I am really enjoying using black and white at the moment, and the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.

The stamped image here is from the coordinating stamp set, Zany Zoo, coloured using Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends.

Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Heat Embossing with Beautifully Happy from Stampin’ Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah! This month’s Technique is Heat Embossing… probably something I do on about 80% of my projects, I just LOVE it! Nothing better that a sentiment heat embossed in White on a piece of Basic Black card stock! But, I haven’t done that today.

This card is a bit special, as I made it for my aunt’s 70th birthday this month (I know she wont see this… so I’m not worried about sharing before the big day!). I had a lot of fun watercolouring this image. It’s from the brand new Beautifully Happy stamp set which is FREE with a £90 order during Sale-a-bration which starts on Thursday.

Hand stamped Birthday card using Beautifully Happy from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2023 with StampinByHannah

Both the image and the sentiment are heat embossed in Gold. This is one of my watercolour top tips actually, to heat emboss the image because it sort of keeps the ink where you want it, and makes watercolour a bit easier.

The flower is coloured with Pear Pizzazz, Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo and Orchid Oasis. I wasn’t sure when I pulled the colours off my shelf, but now I really like it.

The frame is from Framed Florets, and the background is stamped in Pear Pizzazz onto Pear Pizzazz card stock using one of the more solid stamps from the set.
