Techniques | How to Emboss using Stampin’ Up! dies…

How to make a fun floral Kindness card and Emboss with dies using Abstract Impressions from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Techniques How to Emboss using Stampin’ Up! dies…

Hello! I haven’t done a proper Techniques post in AGES! But, I have a couple coming up for you, because we have a really cool new tool that works with the Big Shot… and i just cannot get enough!

One of the many new and fabulous items in this years Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue is the Big Shot Embossing Mats. They come in a pack of 3, and work with the Stampin’ Up! Big Shot Platform to allow you to create some really cool embossed effects using your cutting and embossing dies. The Springtime Impressions die I’ve used on this card is designed to cut… and actually I have already used it that way on THIS card from Tuesday… but it looks AMAZING embossed!

Check the video to see how easy it is to do…

There are several Big Shot sandwiches that work to emboss your dies, and which one you will use depends on what kind of die you are using…. I have another one on Monday using some of the embossing dies.

This card used the following:

Big Shot Platform (without the Thin Die Adaptor)
Standard Cutting Plate
Die (cutting side up)
Card stock
BLUE Embossing Mat
White Impressions Plate

I couldn’t not add a bit of stamping though using the coordinating Abstract Impressions Stamp Set. I LOVE that this stamp set comes bundled with these dies, they are so cool and work so perfectly together even though the dies don’t actually cut any of the stamped images. PLUS by buying the bundle you save 10%…. that’s a win win in my book!

Make It Monday | Thank You cards using Lined Alphabet from Stampin’ Up!

Card Making Video Tutorial using Lined Alphabet Stamps from Stampin' Up! Thank You Card

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Thank You cards using Lined Alphabet from Stampin’ Up!

Each and every month I send hand made Thank You cards to everyone who shops with me, these usually hit the Post Office in the 2nd week of the following month; May’s cards hit the post office last week… So, I’m hoping that these are now safe to share!

These cards use the brand new Lined Alphabet from Stampin’ Up! along with some fun other products; check the video for the full instructions!

These cards feature one of the items in my 4th Stampaversary Giveaway…. which is running throughout the month of June! I cannot believe I am 4 years into this crazy Stampin’ Up! world, I love it even more now than I did when I started. This past weekend I spent some time looking, evaluating and planning for the next 12 months….and I know that there are heaps of fun things coming! I now do a fortnightly Facebook Live, and I have some fun Online Classes and events coming soon too!

Like I said at the start of this post, everyone who shops with me receives a hand made card as a special Thank You, but some lovely people also get extra gifts! How, I hear you ask?! Well, they either spend over £150 or they use the Code Club Code….. and then others collect their orders together and cash in for StampinByHannah VIP rewards too! You can always find the Code Club Code in the sidebar of this blog… and it’s often included at the bottom of my weekly Stampin’ Inspiration emails too!

I hope that the ladies that received these cards this month…. as well as their extra gifts… love them! and I can’t wait to send the next set out at the end of this month

Stamparatus 101 | Stamping on 12 x 12 Card Stock…

Fun Stamped Scrapbook page using Flower stamps from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Stamparatus 101 Stamping on 12 x 12 Card Stock…

Ok… so this week’s Stamparatus 101 video was inspired by a question I was asked by a viewer on YouTube; How do you stamp on 12 x 12?

I hope that the video answers the question… but I also have a fun Scrapbook page for you to!

This page came together really quickly, partly because instead of measuring and carefully cutting each layer I chose to rip the card stock and Designer Series Paper…. but also because I wanted to focus on that stamping in the background.

The video tutorial shows exactly how I used the Stamparatus to create this fun stamped effect… but I used the Petal Palette Stamp set, along with two new purple tones; Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather, to pick up on some of the purple tones in the photograph

Tips:

Test stamp on an old piece of Designer Series Paper, or cut down Grid Paper before you stamp on your good card stocks
Try turning the card stock to create different looks and patterns using stamps
Use a mixture of stamping techniques to create depth and texture

I have a heap of crafty plans for tomorrow… what are you crafting this weekend?

Crafting on a Sunday Morning | Male Appropriate Cards…

Facebook Live Video Tutorial How to make a male card using Animal Outing from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Crafting on a Sunday Morning Male Appropriate Cards…

Every other Sunday morning I go Live on Facebook… and this morning we had heaps of fun making men’s cards! In honour of Father’s Day next weekend, I thought it was about time I gave you some fabulous male inspiration… that was until I remembered that ALL of my guy themed stamp sets retired at the end of May! However, I dug deep into my Stamp Stash… and I think I came up with 3 fun male appropriate cards!

This first card would make a perfect Father’s Day card. Sometimes we are over-taken by the need to throw our entire craft room at a card… and while that has it’s place, guy cards ain’t it! I love keeping things clean and simple for cards for the guys in my life. Here the focus of the card is that fun watercolour lettering; layered with a piece of Coastal Cabana (Yum!) and some Basket Weave Embossing in night of Navy.

One of my favourite guy themed stamp sets is Bike Ride…. while it’s not guy exclusive, I use it regularly for men’s cards. Check out the video for how I used the Stamparatus to create this card…

All of the cards in this week’s Facebook Live used my Standard Card Measurements.

The 3rd and final card uses a probably unexpected stamp set; Animal Outing. While this card is designed for children’s cards, I can see heaps of fun cards for adults too. Here it’s paired with the Nature’s Poem Designer Series paper, and hint of Linen Thread.

Don’t forget to check out the video over on my Facebook page to enter this week’s giveaway… and Like my page to be notified the next time I go Crafting on a Sunday Morning!

Cute Stamped Vellum boxes for Yankee Candles

How to make cute Vellum boxes for Yankee candles with Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Cute Stamped Vellum boxes for Yankee Candles

I love to craft, I make more cards than anything else…. but every once in a while I like to try something 3D. I bought a pack of Yankee candles ages ago, and they’ve sat on my ‘inspiration’ shelf ever since…. until now!

My friend Sally made a really cute box wrapped in Vellum a few months ago… and took the idea as inspiration here. The vellum is stamped using one of the leave stamps from Painted Harvest. I LOVE the look of stamped vellum… it’s one of those techniques that looks tricky, but is actually super easy. Just remember that Vellum can take a little while to dry, give it some time, and then hit it with your heat gun!

Measurements:

Card stock; 8-1/2 x 7-1/2″ (22 x 18.5 cm)

Score on the long side at 2, 4, 6 and 8″ (5, 10, 15, and 20 cm)

Score on the short side at 2, 4-1/4, and 6-1/4″ (5, 10.5 and 15.5 cm)

Vellum; 8-1/2 x 2″ (22 x 4 cm)

Make It Monday | Super Special Gate Fold Facebook Live!

Fancy Fold Gate fold card video tutorial using Rooted in Nature and Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Super Special Gate Fold Facebook Live!

Bit of a difference with this week’s Make It Monday…. but it’s just as special! Actually, it might be MORE special, as I have a fabulous Fancy Fold for you AND a fun giveaway to (one of two launching today…. stay tuned for an update later!)

I shared the complete process of making this card on Facebook Live on Saturday. Have you caught one of my Facebook Live’s yet? This one was a little out of sync, I usually go Live every other Sunday at 11AM… the next one is this coming Sunday… and there is ALWAYS a fun giveaway too. Check the video on Facebook to enter!

I promised that I would share the measurements of this special Gate Fold card BUT… this one is currently only in Metric (because working out both sets of measurements at 11AM on a Saturday morning was just too much for my brain to handle!). However, my fabulous friend Liz has already created an Imperial version…. which I will share on my Facebook page once it goes live on her blog

Card base: 9 x 27 cm, scored on the long side at 4.5, 9, 18 and 22.5 cm

Whisper White layers: 4 pieces that measure; 4 x 8.5 cm

Designer Series Paper: 4 pieces of Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper that measure; 3.5 x 8 cm

Inside pieces; Whisper White: 8 x 8 cm, Petal Pink: 8.5 x 8.5 cm

Outside pieces; Whisper White: 7 x 7 cm, Petal Pink: 7.5 x 7.5 cm

Because this card is a VERY custom size, I HAD to make an envelope for it too! Using the same Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper…

Make It Monday | Fun with Beautiful Bouquet and some new colours!

Make It Monday Card making Video Tutorial Thank You Card using Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

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!

Make It Monday | Watercolour Stamping with the Stamparatus

How to do watercolour stamping using colouring pens with Stampin' Write Markers from Stampin' Up!

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!

Thanks so much for stopping by StampinByHannah today. Please consider signing up for my weekly Email tutorials too 🙂
