Global Design Project Case the Designer Thank You featuring Hello You from Stampin' Up!

Hello! yes, I’m back again with another Challenge entry. This time for the Global Design Project Case the Designer Challenge!

Global Design Project #036

This card from Paula Dobson is awesome. The idea for this challenge is that you take an element of the card, and use it as inspiration. I just love the ‘You’ thinlit die from the Hello You Thinits, and could not pass the the opportunity to use them again!

Global Design Project Case the Designer Thank You featuring Hello You from Stampin' Up!The ‘You’ is actually die cut 4 times, the first time from the stamped piece of Whisper White, and then 3 times in Early Espresso. It is super easy to layer these together using Tombow glue (although the silicone mat helps lots!). Before I die cut the You though I stamped onto the piece of Whisper White, first with the flowers from Birthday Blossoms in Perfect Plum, and then in Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake with Gorgeous Grunge.

Thank you card featuring Stampin' Up! Uk products

The ‘Thank’ is from Crazy About You, although the stamp actually reads Thanks I masked off the S while I inked the stamp up in Versamark. I am tempted to cut off the S actually, I might get more use out of it that way, but then again, I’m not all that sure about Stamp Butchery!

To finish I added some gold splatter using a Gold Wink of Stella

Watercolour Week | Negative Space Watercolouring

Crazy About You Watercolour negative space Hello Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

I hope you are having a great week! today is my last day off work, back to the grind-stone tomorrow

Last weekend I headed to Telford for Stampin’ Up!® On Stage Local (and saw the awesome new annual catalogue!) and Team Training on Sunday where I provided a whole table of Watercolour inspiration! Most of the cards I shared were cards you guys have already seen, but I did make a few new ones – including this card

Crazy About You Watercolour negative space Hello Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

This card is super simple to make I promise! I am going to start writing the card measurements on my blog posts, I listened to another demonstrator (sorry I can’t remember who it was) on Saturday talk about making blog posts easy for readers to re-create the projects. This is something I have been trying to work out for a while. I use the same sized card quite often, but will try and remember to post the sizes – especially when I’m using odd sizes or doing fancy folds!

Hello you thinlits from Stampin' Up!

Ok, so this card uses the Hello You thinlits dies, die cut from Thick Whisper White card stock. I found a piece of scrap card stock (also Thick Whisper White) that was bigger than the die cut ‘Hello’ and used the Watercolour Wash technique that I shared on Monday to create a rainbow of colour.

The card is then a simple case of layering and re-assembling the ‘Hello’. I used Dimensionals for the larger pieces, but the little dot in the ‘O’ required a ball of Glue Dot, you can see it slightly, but it’s clear and I’m pretty sure your wouldn’t notice it without looking for it!

Card Measurements:

Card Base – (Half A4 folded in half) 21 x 14.85 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Card Layer – 10 x 14.2 cm

Inlay Die Cutting

Stampin' Up! UK Crazy about you Hello You diecutting

I do love a great technique, and I have been playing with this one for a few weeks (and covering myself and my desk in the process!) but the results are fabulous!

Stampin' Up! UK Inlay die cutting

I have to admit that the picture here looks better than the card does in person, I have the card in front of me and I’m looking at gluey finger prints! but it’s still a cool technique – but keep that baby wipe on hand to keep yours hands free of glue (because you WILL make a gluey mess!)

See what I mean, gluey mess! I don’t edit my videos very often, only if I’ve had an interruption like the doorbell going or my phone ringing, and so you will always get ‘live’ bloppers! I hope you enjoy them!

The original ‘Hello’ card uses our brand new 2015-2017 In-Colours in Watermelon Wonder and Mint Macaron, while the video version is in Marina Mist (I’m still a little obsessed with this colour!). I’m loving the new In-Colours; took me a while to get used to the super bright Watermelon and Cucumber though! what great additions to our colour collection.

Stampin' Up! UK Crazy about you Hello You diecutting

How to Inlay die cut:

Using the Hello You thinlits dies die cut your chosen word in coloured card stock.

Using your Magnetic platform to ensure correct die placement, die cut the same word out of your Whisper White layering piece – remember that this is your card front to carefully place the die where you want the word to be at the end!

Make sure you keep the little pieces from the die cut, keep them safe! you will need them in a moment.

Apply your glue of choice (I use Snail) to the back of your Whisper White layering piece and attach it to your card front.

Using a 2-way Glue Pen apply glue to the back of the coloured die cut, slotting it into the space on the front of your card. I did try this with Tombow glue and made a huge mess!

Using your 2-way glue pen again apply glue into the holes in the die cut, slotting the Whisper White die pieces back into the die cut.

This gives you a completely flat card, great for posting! Awesome!

Happy Zoo Babies!

I have had this card sat on my hard drive for a little while, neglected, and lonely. The last few weeks have been insanely busy around here, working 65 hour weeks, hen parties, classes, and running the blog, but I’m hoping I’m back on an even keel again now. I have come to see how much I can do, and I have a habit of saying yes to anything and everything, and I just can’t do it all. So, after having to pull out of a craft fayre last weekend, I took a step back and realised what I can fit into my life! and currently, craft fayres are not it!

So, after that ramble, I have a lovely card for you today.

Stampin' Up! UK Zoo Babies Hello You

I made this card before Christmas! for my cousin’s babies first birthday. I had just received my pre-order from the Spring/summer catalogue, so there are a few products used here.

For babies cards there is no stamp set better than Zoo Babies! I adore the cute animals and patterns, stamped in fun colours of course!

One of the first things to come out of my pre-order box was the lovely Hello You thinlits dies – four word dies; Happy, You, Thanks, and Hello, that work perfectly with the Crazy About You stamp set. So, well in fact that they come as a bundle! Crazy About You also comes in all 3 stamp types, Wood Mount, Clear Mount and Photopolymer! Awesome! These thinlit dies are fantastic, and so easy to cut and get back out of those dies! but I think my favourite thing about them is using the Transfer Adhesive Sheets to put them onto a card! If you haven’t experienced TAS yet, grab them now!

My favourite colour of the moment is still Lost Lagoon, and for a baby boy card it is perfect! paired with a piece of the Sweet Dreams DSP – lovely!

Thanks….. I’m Crazy About you!

Welcome to another week here at StampinByHannah! There are some great projects coming this week.

To set the week off I decided to say Thanks! using the Hello You Thinlits Dies (that come bundled with the Crazy About You stamp set)

Stampin' Up! UK Petal Potpourri Hello You

This card is a CASE (copy and share everything) from the Stampin’ Up! Spring/Summer catalogue page 23. Using the Petal Potpourri stamp set, and that lovely doily print flower (LOVE it!).

The card base is So Saffron, with a piece of Whisper White added at an angle.

I stamped the flower twice on a piece of Whisper White, using Crumb Cake ink, and punched them out with the Flower Medallion Punch before cutting them in half.

The ‘Thanks’ is die cut using those lovely framelits in Pear Pizzazz cardstock, using the Big Shot. Stampin’ Up! Transfer Adhesive Sheets are definitely the best things to stick these die cut words on with.

The Big Shot! I don’t think I’ve talked about the Big Shot before have I? I might have mentioned it briefly I suppose. The Big Shot is one of the greatest tools as a card-maker, I use mine all the time! The Big Shot is a manual Die Cutting machine, meaning that it uses Dies to cut shapes from cardstock (or fabric, fun foam, paper, felt, and a host of other materials). Stampin’ Up! sell the Big Shot and a whole heap of accessories, including the Magnetic Platform (which hold onto your metal dies, allowing you to line up stamped images and your dies without using bits of tape!), spare cutting mats, Dies and Embossing Folders. The Spring/Summer catalogue features a lot of new dies and embossing folders for use with your Big Shot, and makes a Big Shot a worthwhile investment.

At this point I felt that the card was a little too plain, and so added some more of the Petal Potpourri Doilies in Crumb Cake stamped off once to finish.

Happy Birthday…. thinlits edition!

Well, its still my Birthday week, so I’m still celebrating! My birthday and a catalogue launch in one week, busy times for me! but I love it!

Stampin' Up! UK Birthday card Crazy about you Hello you

This card uses a brand new stamp set from the Spring/Summer catalogue, Crazy about you. Before I get into the card I just want to mention this set, not only is a great set for sentiments and phrases, as well as three lovely floral images, but it comes bundledwith 3 thinlits dies – Hello You! I love it when Stampin’ Up! bundle stamps and dies (or stamps and DSP!) as it you save 15%! AND there is something even better about this stamp set! It comes in Wood Mount, Clear Mount AND Photopolymer! Awesome!

Onto the card….

I used a Melon Mambo card base today, with a Whisper White matt.

The leaves are from that lovely Crazy About You stamp set and are stamped in Pear Pizzazz (I think this is my favourite green!). I stamped the Birthday stamp in Pear Pizzazz on a scrap of Whisper White and cut it into a banner shape. Before layering it with a similarly cut scrap of Pink Pirouette and a piece of the Subtles Collection DSP stack in Wild Wasabi!

Then comes the greatest thing about this stamp/die bundle – the word thinlit dies! You get 4 in the pack: Happy, You, Thanks, and Hello! and the font its just so pretty! I used my Big Shot to die cut the word Happy from some more Melon Mambo, and used the Transfer Adhesive Sheets to adhere it to the card. Have I mentioned about Transfer Adhesive Sheets yet? they are perhaps the coolest adhesive I have ever used! You peel off the backing and apply your diecut to the glue, put the backing back over and rub to ensure the glue transfers, before peeling your die cut back off (carefully its now super sticky!) and putting it on your card! No longer do you have to spread wet glue as thinly as humanly possible over the back of a diecut, or attempt to stick them on with tape runner! Awesome!

Right, I think that is probably enough waffle for today!

have a great day and see you again tomorrow for Fancy Fold Friday!!!
