Simple florals and a start on those Christmas Cards!

Well, Hello there! I hope you’re sitting down, because Yes. I have actually written a blog post! I know…. Actually, it’s more than that! I’ve been sharing every day on Instagram for the past week. I set myself a challenge this month (seeing as it’s the Stampin’ Up! New Year) that I would post a Reel every day for the 31 days of October. Now, I have a plan, and I’m already filmed a head of time. Not every day is a card project, some days are just me and my coffee… but still, I’m putting myself out there every single day…. And I’m excited about it!

There has been a LOT going on over the past few years… having children, busy jobs, trying to keep up with the football games and birthday parties, and I have been pushed out a little bit. But, No More! I am taking time back for me. What’s the phrase? Time to get my pink back? Time to find myself again, and do somethings for me.

Family life is still super busy, and my day job only gets crazier. However, I am more settled, and am getting better at time planning and juggling. I can’t remember if I mentioned it in my last blog post (because that was in May!) but I was diagnosed with ADHD at the end of 2025… and its taken me most of 2026 to get my head around that and what it means for me. What it means is that there are something I find more difficult, but it also means that I am naturally creative…. It mean that I actually need to USE that diary I bought, and find a way of reminding myself of all the things I need to do. It looks like a very long To Do list (which, I will be honest, gets me down a bit sometimes) but I’ve finally found a system that works for me… and so I’m running with it!

Anyway, that’s quite a lot of waffle to say; Hello!

I’m back!

and I shared 2 cards over on Instagram last week (I’ll be sharing over on YouTube again very soon (I have a long form video to film in my diary to tomorrow!)

This card uses the Bloom Boutique Suite; it was the first card I had made in ages. I need to have a bit of a play around with those new ink pads I think, as they are VERY juice… maybe I’ll re-make this one next week.

I LOVE this card so much! It’s using new goodies from the September-December catalogue; Frosted Pinecones which is a fabulous Stamps / Dies / Masks bundle…. And the Whispering Woods Designer Series Paper. I actually have another card to share that is similar to this one coming next week.

Right, that’s all for now… but do keep your eye on socials for some more of me!

Happy Crafting!

New In Colours, a Starter kit offer and the new Catalogue…

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… I am a little bit excited about this post, because today the new Stampin’ Up! May-August catalogue has gone live! Honestly, this is one of my favourite catalogues for a while, I rarely shop other than during Pre-Orders these days… but this catalogue has me wanting to shop some more!

Check out all the new goodies in my Online Store.

New In Colours…

The new In Colours is one of the reasons why I love this catalogue. I always enjoy seeing the 5 new colours (although it’s sad to say goodbye to the retiring 5) and this year we have some fabulous colours! Barely Blush, Crisp Cantaloue, Golden Glow, Hydrangea Hue, and Peaceful Pine work well as a group, as well as slotting in really well into the Stampin’ Up! Core colour collections too. I’ve got a few posts planned for my Instagram featuring the new colours, so hop on over there to see.

The other exciting thing about the new In Colours is that the 5 new ink pads are of a completely new (to us) design. Stampin’ Up! Will be switching all the pads over, and away from the awkward to open flip pads, from this time next year. However, it’s great to have a few to try out. These new pads are magnetic and are super easy to open, and still bring us some of the features we used before.

Starter Kit Offers….

With the start of a new catalogue, we often get Starter Kit offers, and this time is no exception. For £99 you get to choose £135 worth of goodies, PLUS get either a set of the new In Colours ink pads or an extra £35 of products. How cool is that!

Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t forget to check out my Instagram and Facebook for more Stampin’ Inspiration.

New Catalogue; pre-order, and other news….

Hello! It’s been more than a little while since I posted regularly on this blog. I’ve had intentions often to be back, but actually getting to sit down and write anything has sort of escaped me!

Personal News…

One of the reasons for my absence has been due to general life stuff happening; new jobs, 3 children etc. but also that I was diagnosed with ADHD at the back end of last year, and its sort of thrown me for a bit of a loop. I’ve always been a “nothing will stand in my way” sort of person, but over the last few years I’ve been increasingly overwhelmed by simple tasks, and anything I actually wanted to do and taken a bit of a back seat. I’ve been battling imposter syndrome my entire life, but recently it’s been worse and I’ve ended up telling myself that there is no point in really trying…. So I haven’t! Any so, things like my blog, or any goals I had have been abandoned.

I am trying to get back to doing things for me as well… life with 3 small children and a very full on full time job is tiring, but I need to be better at sitting down and taking some proper time for me. And so, that leads me on to the Stampin’ Up! News….

Paper Pumpkin…

This is super exciting! Paper Pumpkin; the Stampin’ Up! Monthly crafting subscription service is now available in the UK. You can find out more and subscribe HERE. I’ll be sharing a bit more about it next week.

New Catalogue…

This time of year we are usually talking about the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue… but this year is a little different. Stampin’ Up! Are moving away from the previous catalogue release schedule and are instead going to 3 individual catalogues across the year; so this time we are looking at the May-August Catalogue; which is coming on Tuesday (5th May).

Pre-Order…

I did a little pre-order this time… you can check it out on the video below

Thanks so much for stopping by StampinByHannah today… and I hope to see you again soon

7th August 20256th August 2025

Hello! It’s been a little while…. Let me (re)introduce myself!

Oh goodness me… where is 2025 going?! I realise that this post is likely popping into your emails completely out of the blue, you’ve probably forgotten who I am, what I do and why you subscribed to my blog! So, I thought I probably should take a moment to say Hi!

Hello! I’m Hannah! I’ve owned ‘StampinByHannah’ for 11 years, and have a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator for just as long. I absolutely love it! BUT life has been life-ing a lot recently, and so taking time to create anything, let alone photograph it, blog it or stick it on Social Media has sort of fallen off the list of priorities.

I’m a very busy mum of 3, with a very busy full time job (Yes, I am back at work after Maternity Leave number 3, and into a new role, with some slightly crazy hours at time). However, I’m getting back to having a little bit of time where I can craft or do something for me. And so that is what I’m going to do. Usually, I set myself some totally unrealistic goal of doing 300 videos and lives a month, and host a class and do all sorts of other things, but really I just need to get back to some regular crafting.

I’m making it sound like I haven’t crafted in ages… that’s not completely true. But, I haven’t crafted using Stampin’ Up! Much recently. This year I set myself a deadline of my 10th Wedding Anniversary to complete my wedding album. And, that is tomorrow! So, I have been working really hard on getting it all done. I will share it with you soon… once I’ve got my photo set up organised.

Anyway, really I just wanted to say “Hello! I’m still here, on my little corner of the internet, and I will be back to sharing some fun things with you very very soon!”. Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope to see you again 🙂

In Colour Club 2025

I really love a club… they are great fun and a really nice way to collect a few bits each month.

My In Colour Club fors this year gives you the chance to get all the In Colour bits for each colour over the course of 5 months. Each month you will receive a parcel in the post full of goodies that are in the same colour, plus some inspiration and a little something from me too!

So, Month 1 COULD look like this;
Strawberry Slush Ink Pad and refill, Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blend Duo, 6×6” sample of Strawberry Slush Two-Tone Cardstock, 4 sheets of Strawberry Slush A4 Card stock, Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Write Marker, Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls, and a roll of Strawberry Slush ribbon.

Now, I know what I said about Cloud Cover, and that the ink isn’t available YET, so for the month that you are due to receive Cloud Cover I’ll drop you an email and ask if there is a different ink colour you might like instead, OR I can reduce the cost for that month to reflect that there are less products.

Club will cost £46 per month for 5 months. Want to join in? Just click the button below to grab your spot!

No orders will be placed with Stampin’ Up! Until the 6th May, and then the 6th of each month going forward for the 5 months of In Colour Club. Payments MUST be made prior to this date to allow me to place the order. Club packs will be processed and send out via Royal Mail within 10 days, depending on the date items arrive with me. I will inform affected individuals regarding delays or alterations.

Inspire.Create.Challenge #186 | fun with colour….

Hello! Goodness me, I really have meant to get back to blogging and sharing over here, but life has been life-ing a bit recently! I can’t believe we are into February and I’m only just writing my first blog post of the year… Must do better!

Anyway, this week I thought I really need to be a better team player, and get back to regularly taking part in the Inspire.Create.Challenges, and so here we are.

This week’s challenge is to use any yellow, any pink and any blue on your project. I’ve used Crushed Curry, BubbleBath and Blueberry Bushel on this fun card using the Memorable Blooms stamps and dies from the most recent Mini Catalogue.

This technique is so fun… stamp your image and then colour around it with the same colour Stampin’ Blends as card stock your going to use (I’ve actually used Dark Daffodil Delight here as well don’t have a Crushed Curry, but the match is very close). Then die cut and arrange on your card front. I just love the white image on what looks like coloured card! Magic!

Don’t forget to share your creations over on the Inspire.Create Blog!

Seasons of Elegance Card Ideas

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah… sorry, it’s been a little while, been a bit busy with the baby. However, I am hoping that my plan for a posting schedule might be sustainable, at least for a little while.

Last week I shared a whole heap of projects using the Season of Elegance Suite from Stampin’ Up! Over on my Instagram, and I thought I probably should share them here too… as well as a new YouTube video!

So (hopefully) on a Monday evening, I’ll be sharing a round up of cards, as well as a YouTube video, likely on a theme; either a stamp set or a suite, to give you lots of inspiration all in one place!

This week, like I mentioned it Season of Elegance, which is a fabulous Mega suite from the September-December Mini Catalogue. There are 2 stamp sets, 2 die sets, a pack of Designer Series Paper, a 3D embossing folder, ribbon and embellishments! All in jewel tones, perfect for those festive projects.

Do let me know what you think of this format of post… and I hope to see you again soon
