Valentines Blog Hop | Love You a Bunch…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah for today’s Valentines Blog hop. In the UK we tend to only send a single Valentines card to our partner… and this might be an option for the card I send my husband this year.

Valentines card ideas using Thanks a Bunch from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2023 with StampinByHannah

I’ve used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set, which is currently FREE as part of Sale-a-bration. I wasn’t sure about Carrots as a theme for stamps when I first saw it… but its a super fun set to stamp! Here I’ve stamped the carrots in So Saffron and Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Calypso Coral, but I’ve seen some fabulous purple carrots on Social Media too!

The background is something I’ve been meaning to try for ages. Such a simple idea, lines drawn with a Stampin’ Blend pen. I’ve used Light Old Olive for these (and I used a ruler), but I think I’d go darker and bolder next time.

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.

Time to Sale-a-brate Berry Blessings with the Pootlers Blog Hop!

Welcome to StampinByHannah and the first Pootlers Team Blog Hop of 2021! This time we’re sharing a heap of projects using the new Sale-a-bration gifts.

There are a bunch of really cool Stamp Sets and Designer Series Paper packs that you can currently receive for FREE with an order of over £45! How cool is that?!

Berry Blessings

I thought I would create with the Berry Blessings stamp set today. This stamp set comes with a pack of Designer Series Paper and so requires a £90 spend, BUT it also coordinates with the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and punch bundle from the new Mini Catalogue!

Quick and simply card using Berry Blessings from Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration 2021 with StampinByHannah

One of the reasons I love this stamp set (and Sweet Strawberry) is that you don’t need to get the markers out to colour the images… as they all have a outline stamp and then a filled stamp to colour the image!

This card uses Misty Moonlight for the card base and the blueberries, and Pear Pizzazz for the leaves and sentiment.

Simple Stamping using Berry Blessings FREE during Sale-a-bration 2021 from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I couldn’t pass the opportunity to stamp with blueberries either… they are my daughters absolute favourite fruit, I think she’d eat them at every meal if she could!

Check out the rest of the teams creations by clicking the images below, and I hope to see you here at StampinByHannah again soon

Stampin’ Up! UK Independent Demonstrator

Home to Roost Birthday Card

So, today I thought I would share my final Sale-a-bration make of 2019… and James’ birthday card!

Home to Roost Birthday Card for Sale-a-bration using Stampin' Up! products with StampinByHannah

Home to Roost is available for FREE when you spend £45 before Sunday night! I cannot believe that Sale-a-bration is so nearly over… however, that does mean that we are closer to the start of the new Annual Catalogue and something very exciting that launches on Monday!

Bright and fun guys birthday card using Home to Roost from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

My top tip for guys cards is to keep things fairly simple. Here I stamped the Rooster onto Watercolour paper using Staz-on. I did use my Stamparatus for this to ensure a really deep, crisp, black image onto the bumpy paper.

Then, to add some texture I added some dots of Fine Tip Glue and let it dry really really well before watercolouring the piece in Crushed Curry, Blueberry Bushel and Real Red inks.

The other texture on the card is the embossed front using the hexagons Dynamic Embossing Folder, and then adding the watercoloured panel with dimentionals to a piece of Crushed Curry Card stock.

How to decorate the inside of a card using Home to Roost from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I couldn’t not decorate the inside of this card (James always requests something special on the inside when I’m making a card for him to send!) and so I added some stamping and a strip of Crushed Curry card stock to finish.

Check out the the Sale-a-bration deals before they end on Sunday

Four All Seasons Joy Fold Birthday Card

Hello! Can you believe we are almost at the end of Sale-a-bration 2019… in fact we only have another few days as the fabulous offers end on Sunday night!

To see what Sale-a-bration is all about check my earlier blog post HERE!

Today’s card is a card I made a few weeks ago for one of my Sister-in-Law’s birthdays. I needed something a little bit special, because with my current Baby Brain actually getting around to buying her a present didn’t happen (she did get a gift card though so she can treat herself to something), and so I reached for the very lovely Painted Seasons stamp set, Designer Series Paper and coordinating dies.

Joy Fold birthday card using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been loving using these stamps and the Designer Series Paper which you can get as a bundle for FREE with a £90 order, and then the dies that match are just a must have!

This is a really easy Fancy fold card to put together. You can find all the measurements on THIS blog post from a couple of years ago.

Joy fold card using Painted Seasons from Stampin' Up! for Sale-a-bration 2019 with StampinByHannah

Then on the inside I made a little Designer Series Paper pocket to hold the gift card, simply by measuring the gift card and chopping a bit off the top. I did use a 2″ circle punch to notch the top of the pocket and make retrieving the gift a little easier too!

There isn’t a whole heap of stamping on this one really, as the paper says everything! But I did add a few succulents in coordinating Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party along with the Berry Burst Sentiment taken from Needle and Thread.

Don’t forget to check out the last few bits of Sale-a-bration goodness, or think about taking up that fabulous Joining Offer before its too late!

Home to Roost | Sale-a-bration

This is another card I should have posted last week… and really its just a sneaky peak of the sort of project you can expect in my Email Newsletters.

I try and send an email out each week, it doesn’t always happen, but the intention is there! And I am trying super hard to get a creative project into every single one… I used to send exclusive video tutorials, but for the time being I’m sticking with PDF downloads while I get to grips with late pregnancy / early motherhood!

Home to Roost card using Sale-a-bration stamps from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

This card uses the oh so fun Home to Roost stamp set which is FREE during Sale-a-bration (while stocks last, until the end of March).
