StampinByHannah Make It Monday Fun with Beautiful Bouquet and some new colours!
Well, I am sorry that this post didn’t go out at the usual time of 7AM…. but, I do have a fabulous week of In-Colour goodness to make up for it! The reason for my tardiness this morning? Oh, there is a story! I ALWAYS share a video on a Monday, and I went to film on Saturday, and my camera completely died… dead! So, I rushed out and bought a new one (something I should have done about 18 months ago!)… but it’s meant that this weekend has been filled with learning how to use this new beast, PLUS it’s Bank Holiday so I had family stuff to do, and so this blog post got pushed. I’m sure you wont mind… particularly when I tell you what else is coming this week!
I have 5 fabulous projects for you this week, all featuring the new Stampin’ Up! In-Colours for 2018-2020. These new ink pads are available to purchase right NOW as part of the Share What You Love Bundles, they are super bright, and lots of fun! I can certainly see them getting a LOT of use in my craft room this year.
Today’s colour is Lovely Lipstick; a fabulously bold Pink… that I can already see heaps of fun colour combinations with. You can check out just a few of my Lovely Lipstick colour combinations in today’s Stampin’ Inspiration email. This week, to celebrate the launch of these new colours AND the new Annual Catalogue on Friday, I’m sending an email each day, complete with a PDF download of each blog project AND a heap of colour inspiration too! You can subscribe right HERE…. and yes, I am GDPR compliant (before you even ask! lol)
There is of course a video tutorial for this card too…. check it out to see all the details!
While I’m thinking about it, I sent a heap of 2018 Annual Catalogues out on Saturday… but I have an order in for another batch, so if you haven’t got your FREE copy yet, complete the form on my Request a Catalogue page!

StampinByHannah Stamparatus 101 Lets do the Hinge Step
Hello! Today I thought I would share the second video in my Stamparatus 101 series. This series focuses on the New Stamp Positioning Tool from Stampin’ Up!; The Stamparatus. I LOVE mine…. and I can’t wait for you to be able to get your hands on one on the 1st June.
This week we are doing the Hinge-Step…. this fun technique allows to you create fun patterns and precise stamping using one of the most unique features of Stamparatus. Check the video to see how…
Today’s card uses my favourite bundle from the Stampin’ Up! Spring Summer catalogue, Petal Palette. While it is carrying over into the 2018 Annual catalogue, the bundled price (which saves you 10%) is retiring…. so grab the bundle before the 31st May
Which version is your favourite Pink (Flirty Flamingo and Powder Pink) or Blue (Blueberry Bushel and Smoky Slate)?

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Watercolour Stamping with the Stamparatus
I have been playing with the Stamparatus for a good couple of months now…. and I used it for just about every one of my OnStage Display Board samples, and it’s a pretty constant feature on my desk. I absolutely LOVE it, and I am SO excited that the full launch happens on the 1st June with the Annual catalogue, and you guys can get your hands on one.
This pretty card uses the Beautiful Day stamp set. I seriously can’t get enough of this set, it’s just makes such pretty and simple cards. I have a fun technique to share with you too… check the video to see how I stamped the flower!
The sentiment on this card is stamped in Night of Navy ink onto Vellum. Because ink can take a while to dry on Vellum I will often add a layer of Clear Stampin’ Emboss powder to seal in the colour.
I haven’t done any watercolour techniques for ages… I forget how much I enjoy messing around with ink and water sometimes!

StampinByHannah Stamparatus 101 Basic Stamping Top Tips!
I LOVE the new Stamparatus… and while I was lucky enough to get one back at the start of the year, I know that getting one during Pre-Order was a little tricky…. So, seeing as it officially launches on the 1st June, I thought I would share some of my tips and tricks of the Stamparatus on a Friday for the next few weeks!
This quick and classic card uses the Beautiful Day stamp set. I am so happy that this has carried over into the new Annual Catalogue too! Check the video below to see how this card was created using the Stamparatus…

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights Petal Palette card for Sara!
You know you’ve had a busy month when Facebook reminds you that not only do you have 5 events this week that you can’t remember… but that one of them is Kylie’s International Blog Highlights, and you can’t even remember what the theme is! Yes, this was me first thing on Monday morning… and if it wasn’t for our May Day Bank Holiday in the UK this post would not be here!
This month’s Blog Highlight theme is Cards for Sara! I LOVE this idea… Sara Douglass is the CEO of Stampin’ Up! and she is incredible. So, to celebrate this Kylie has tasked us with creating a special card for her to say Thanks! Now, remember how I said I’d forgotten about this… well, in my panic to find some inspiration at 07:30 on a Monday morning, I jumped onto Sara’s Facebook Page and found one of the cards that Stampin’ Up! have sent to one of the recent Million Dollar Sellers. These cards are always so detailed, with heaps of layers, Designer Series Paper, embellishments and ribbons…. and so this card was born!
I’ve recently been breaking down my layers for you… and so I’ll do the same thing here!
Card Base; Fresh Fig – 14.85 x 15.75 cm, scored on the log side at 10.5 cm
Bermuda Bay Layers; 10 x 14.3 cm, 4.8 x 14.3 cm, 6.5 x 10.8 cm
Card Base; Powder Pink – 12 x 10.3 cm, scored on the long side at 6 cm
Petal Passion Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 13.8 cm, 4.3 x 13.8 cm, 5.5 x 12.8 cm
Vellum Pretty Label
Die Cut in Fresh Fig using the Petals and More thinlits
Bird stamped in Bermuda Bay and die cut
Sentiment from Petal Palette stamped in Fresh Fig
Powder Pink stamped flower
Trio of Basic Rhinestones
The Petal Palette stamp set and Petals and More thinlits are both carrying over in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue (Yay!)… but the bundle of the two items together is retiring. So, if you want them both, I’d grab them before the end of May and save yourself 10%! The stunning Petal Passion Designer Series Paper is on the Retiring List…. and it’s now while stocks last!
Thanks so much for stopping by today, and please do head over to Kylie’s Blog to see the other Projects for her International Blog Highlights and to vote for you favourite creations!

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a fun farewell to the 2016-2018 In-Colours… I cannot quite believe that we’ve had these for 2 years already! I thought as we bid these colours goodbye, I would update one of the projects I made to introduce them! You can find that blog post HERE!
These cards use one of my favourite techniques; Masking with Fine-Tip Glue. It’s super easy to do, but it does take a little time as the glue has to dry (and it’s better if you leave it overnight). Here I have stamped two of the images from the Beautiful You stamp set onto Very Vanilla Notecards, using Archival Basic Black ink (but staz-on would work just as well). Then use Fine-Tip glue to ‘colour in’ the stamped images, making sure to cover the area fully.
Once the glue is dried, you can then stamp over it. I’ve used Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach, Dapper Denim, and Emerald Envy, and one of the stamps from Touches of Texture. Where the glue is the ink won’t stick. Then, take a Stampin’ Sponge and sponge on more ink, making sure to wipe away the ink from the glue.
I can hear you asking why I haven’t used Flirty Flamingo… well, it’s one of the colours coming back as part of the Stampin’ Up! Colour Revamp! I am super excited about this, and will be sharing all of the details about that with you really soon!
Don’t forget to pop over to Inspire.Create.Challenges and see what the other members of the Design Team have created with these fabulous colours! And, if we have inspired you… why not share your makes with us over there too…

StampinByHannah How to make a fun Birthday card using Delightful Daisy from Stampin’ Up!
This week I have shared a heap of ways to use up your Designer Series Paper before the new Annual Catalogue lands in May… and today is no different. One of my favourite packs of Designer Series Paper this past year has been the Delightful Daisy. It is a fun take on a classic floral, with a hint of watercolour. Just lovely.
This card came together in less than 15 minutes… check the video for all the details. You can find my Standard Card Measurements on THIS page.
The Happy Birthday sentiment is taken from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp set, which is also this month’s Stamp of the Month!
The Delightful Daisy suite features not only this wonderful Designer Series Paper but also the Daisy Delight Stamp set and coordinating Daisy Punch. Grab the Designer Series Paper and the Stamp and Punch Bundle soon before they retire.

StampinByHannah How to… Ink Blending with Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink
I have been having so much fun with Ink Blending recently! On Tuesday I shared THIScard for the Go for Greece blog hop with the lovely Kylie Bertucci, and had a few comments about my ink blending… so I thought I would share a fun tutorial with you today.
I think that most of my Ink Blending top tips are in the video… so do check that out!
The stamp set at work here is the lovely Lovely Inside and Out. I LOVE this stamp set, its great for heaps of different occasions with a bunch of mix and match sentiments… and I cannot get enough of those background images too.
I have been having loads of fun with layering recently, and this card is a continuation of that! Not only have I layered ink blending and tone on tone stamping… but then the heat embossed sentiment is layered with a piece of Delicate White Doily, some loops of Black Metallic Thread and a trio of Glitter Enamel Dots.
Oh! before I go, Sweet Sugarplum (the colour I’ve used in this card!) is one of the 2016-2018 In-Colours… and it’s due to retire REALLY soon, along with Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Peekaboo Peach, and Flirty Flamingo! So, grab your In-Colour ink refills and card stock now before they sell out!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Amazing You Sale-a-bration Eclipse Card
I cannot believe it has taken me quite so long to create an Eclipse card! Pinterest has been full of these for probably about 12 months, and at one point I resisted jumping on the band-wagon… until now! The Celebrate You Thinlits just lend themselves perfectly to this technique, and after I created my husbands Valentines card using it, I just HAD to make another just for you!
I am still loving the Amazing You Stamp Set and Celebrate You thinlits that are available for FREE during Sale-a-bration! That flower is just so pretty, and I am going to be really sad to see it go at the end of the month. However, the Celebrate You thinlits WILL be available in the 2018-2019 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue… but surely its better to get them now for FREE than to pay for them in June?! right!
I think I’ve covered all my top tips for my Eclipse Card in the video…. but if you have any questions to use the comments section below to ask me
Isn’t that colour combination so much fun! I can see this one coming back out again soon… Remember that you can click the colour names above to see all the goodies available from Stampin’ Up! in that particular colour
The second stamp set at work here is Heart Happiness. I just needed something a little extra, and the hearts were just the perfect addition.
Before I go today, I just want to mention about Sale-a-bration! We are in the final 2 weeks of this fabulous offer… and Stampin’ Up! offered even more last week. Sale-a-bration ends on the 31st March, be sure to get your orders in before 10:59PM so you don’t miss out!
