StampinByHannah Facebook Live | For the Love of Stampin’ Up!

Stampin' Up! Facebook Live StampinByHannah UK

I had intended for Facebook Live to be a monthly affair, but I am on Annual Leave from the day job this week and thought I would go Live again this week!  Facebook Live is so much fun, I have the next one in my diary for the 1st December and I do hope that you can join me.

I made 2 cards this week, although the main reason for my broadcast wasn’t necessarily to share my love of card making, but more to share my LOVE of Stampin’ Up! There are so many reasons why… Not only the FABULOUS deal that you get on the Starter Kit, the 20% off all your stampin’ goodies, the catalogues, magazine, exclusive website, mountains of crafty inspiration, and the opportunity to earn free products, vouchers and holidays! I LOVE the community and the friendships. I am heading to Stampin’ Up! OnStage this weekend to be with around 700 of my Stampin’ Sisters to see the new Spring/Summer catalogue and I CANNOT wait!

Stampin' Up! UK Starter Kit

The Starter Kit is always the best deal…. just £99 for £130 worth of Stampin’ Up! goodies of your choice, PLUS a stack of catalogues, order forms and other business gear. Not that you have to make a business of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, we welcome happy shoppers who just want that 20%, business builders, and everyone in between too.

That fabulous basket of Stampin’ Up! goodness just shows quite how much you can get in your Starter Kit! There is a stamp and punch bundle, a pack of Designer Series Paper, 2 packs of card stock, 4 ink pads, notecards and envelopes, embellishments and adhesives in there! Of course, what you put in your kit is totally your choice, but I always think its nice to see how far you cash can go!

Of all the good stuff that I selected for my Starter Kit there is only one stamp set left. Saying that it is a fabulous one! Work of Art has gathered dust on my shelves a little recently, but I do LOVE it! I took inspiration from the catalogue with this card, but I still think is is fabulous!

Measurements:

Card base – Berry Burst – 4 x 8″ (scored on the long side at 4″)

Whisper White Layer – 3-3/4 x 3-3/4″

StampinByHannah Facebook Live Christmas Card using Peace this Christmas by Stampin' Up!

We always need quick Christmas Cards… while I was searching my catalogue recently I spotted the Peace This Christmas stamp set. This stamp set carried over into the Annual Catalogue from last Christmas, and I still love it! This card was actually inspired by THIS card that the lovely Janice shared with the team at a Training event back in the summer.

Stamped in Basic Grey, Cherry Cobbler, and Garden Green, this is a very Classic Christmas card… but with a bit of Masking (LOVE!) and you could totally dress this one up more with some embellishments or ribbons too! I would LOVE to see your version! Share it with me on my Facebook Page.

Measurements:

Card Base – Cherry Cobbler – 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long edge at 14.85 cm

Basic Grey layer – 9.3 x 13.6

Whisper White layer – 9 x 13.3 cm

Christmas Countdown using Stampin' Up! UK products

Yay! Christmas is coming! and I have a whole series of quick and easy Christmas Papercraft projects for you to make this Festive season.

This week I have these cute mini sour cream packets to hold individual chocolates. I made 24 of these a few years ago as part of an Advent calendar, and James had great fun tearing each one open each morning to get at his chocolate!

Christmas Card featuring Peace This Christmas from Stampin' Up! UK

My goodness, where has this month gone! I cannot believe it is nearly October already!

I meant to share this card last week, but somehow it got left out! I know, I’m just as shocked as you are.

Christmas Card featuring Peace This Christmas from Stampin' Up! UK

Now, I do have to admit, that this card is totally CASE’d from Linda Heller and one of her cards that I found whilst scrolling through Pinterest on the hunt for inspiration! But I just loved the simplicity of her card, and didn’t want to mess around with it too much.

We had great fun making this card at my most recent Stampin’ party, although I don’t think the ladies were too impressed with me when I asked them to use a Stamp-a-ma-jig! (otherwise known as my stamping best buddy!) we did have a laugh though, and found that it isn’t as complex as it looks, but would be easier if we all had 3 hands!

I made a video on using a Stamp-a-ma-jig a while ago,  but I will share it again. I just think this tool is awesome and saves so much time / worry when wanted something stamped straight! Oh, and that fact that it only costs £11 is a bonus too!

Right then, that’s all from me today, keeping it short and sweet this Tuesday! Hope you are all well, and have a great crafty day!

This Christmas | Large Giftbag

Large gift bag featuring This Christmas Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

I am starting to get ready for a very crafty Christmas this year! I have plans for heaps of cards, packaging and a scattering of decorations, baking, and maybe even some handcrafted presents this year. As usual I am on a pretty tight budget as saving for our house deposit ramps up again (I really wanted to move before Christmas this year, but somehow this year has become rather expensive what with changing jobs and travelling up and down the country to see unwell relatives and to attend weddings!), so this year’s Christmas is going to have to be a rather creative one – which of course I will share completely with you!

As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator I had the opportunity this month to pre-order some goodies from the mainly Christmas-themed Autumn / Winter catalogue, which launches on 1st September. However, due to my busy work schedule and 10 days holiday I have barely even opened the box! I know, it’s shocking isn’t it, I am hoping to get some crafty time this week to catch up!

Large gift bag featuring This Christmas Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

This gift bag is uses a combination of both Annual Catalogue products and sneak-peak goodies from the new Autumn / Winter release. The paper is This Christmas Speciality Designer Series Paper, which you can find in the Annual catalogue. This paper is gorgeous! a lighter weight that our usual DSP, but still strong enough for a gift bag for a lighter gift; I’m thinking bag bombs or chocolates here!

The gift bag itself is made using the Gift Bag Punch Board. I LOVE this gadget for a quick packaging idea, super simple – the instructions are even printed on the board itself so I can’t forget how it works! This particular bag uses the L sizes on the board, and a full 12 x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) piece of Designer Series Paper

Christmas gift bag using This Christmas Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UKNow onto my sneak-peak! This simple gift tag uses a stamp from the Peace This Christmas stamp set (Annual catalogue) but is heat embossed in Glitter Embossing Powder – yes, that’s glitter that doesn’t come off! Yay! I’ve only had a quick play with this stuff so far, but I can safely say I would expect a VERY glittery Christmas this year if you’re coming to my house!

The other sneaky-peak is that stunning Cherry Cobbler Silky Taffeta ribbon comes in a combo pack with a spool of Emerald Envy too! so pretty.

Stamping Christmas in July

I haven’t featured any special techniques this week, and I couldn’t end this series without a special something. You guys know how much I love watercolour and stamping, and this card incorporates both.

Christmas In July Featuring Watercolour Peace This Christmas from Stampin' Up! Uk

I have shared this technique before, inking up a Clear Block and adding water before stamping onto Shimmery White card stock. You can check out the video tutorial here too:

Christmas In July | Peace Joy and Love

Quick and easy christmas card using Peace this Christmas from Stampin' Up! UK

Stamping Christmas in July

My favourite Christmas cards aren’t usually the traditional Red and Green, I prefer more winter’y colour; blues, greys and silvers – actually my Christmas tree is usually in non-traditional colours too, although I have to admit its usually purple!

How lovely is that strip of the This Christmas Designer Series Paper?!

Christmas in July Peace this Christmas Stampin' Up! UkThe main panel on this card uses the largest sentiment from Peace this Christmas heat embossed in bold. The snowflakes are then stamped over the top in Night of Navy and Smoky Slate, and a trio of Metallic Enamel Shapes added.

Stamping Christmas in July

I am having so much fun getting an early start on my Christmas Cards! I have a whole week of Christmas cards for you this week, including an exclusive video tutorial on Thursday if you subscribe to my Weekly Emails!

Christmas in July card using Peace this Christmas from Stampin' Up! UK

I love making simple cards at Christmas, cards that I can quickly make multiples of to send to work colleagues, James’ university friends, and others. Christmas is the only time of year I really make more than one of a particular card design, except when I’m making Wedding Invitations of course, but for most card makers Christmas is the biggest card making event of the year

Quick and Easy Christmas card using Peace this Christmas from Stampin' Up! uk

This card uses the Peace This Christmas stamp set and the This Christmas Speciality Designer Series Paper, I can see so many cards using this pine leave stamp, and those berries 🙂
