Hi everyone

It is Friday again which means it is challenge time for Hanna Stamps over on the Hanna Stamps Member Forum of SCS. This week it is Kerry Donovan-Casey’s turn to host the challenge (HSC92). Kerry’s challenge is “Spooky Somethings” a Halloween Cut Out Card i.e. in a shape of a pumpkin, haunted house etc.

As you can see my card is in the shape of a Candy Corn … that is very Halloweenish I think hehe. I cut out my shape from white card and then used my copic airbrush to add the yellow and orange colors to my card. I stamps Goth Riley, cut him out and attached him to my card using foam tape. I also used the sentiment & bat from the Trick or Treat Scarecrow set.

An Aware Detective!

Hi everyone and happy Friday, I am sure you are all looking forward to the weekend!

It is challenge time for Hanna Stamps over on the Hanna Stamps Member Forum of SCS. This week it is Sandra MacLean’s turn to host the challenge (HSC91). Sandra challenge us to pick an obscure October Holiday from the list she provided and create a card. I decided to go with “Awareness Month”.

I figured that Detective Riley had to be pretty “Aware” to figure out all those clues to solve whatever it is he is solving LOL.

I used the fleur de lis cuttlebug embossing folder to create the background of my card and also the fleur de lis borderabilities for the panel on the bottom of my card.

Don't forget there is still time to sign up for our first ever "Hanna Fans" blog hop which will be happening on Monday 19th October.

Trick or Treat?

Hi everyone!
It is time for another Hanna Stamps Friday challenge over on the Hanna Stamps Member Forum of SCS. This week Cindy Haffner is hosting the chalelnge which is a Trick or Treat challenge to create something to holds treats (toppers, boxes, bags etc…)
I decided to use my sizzix matchbox die to create my treat box for this challenge. I covered the top of the box with designer paper and then used the question marker image that is included in the new Detective Hanna set that was released earlier in the week for the top of my box. I wonder what is in the box????????
Well it isn’t a secret anymore. Halloween candy of course … my DD found these cute colored bones and liquorice lollies on her travels and got me some as she knew I could use it for one of my projects.

Riley’s Searching!

Hi everyone,

I have one last Hanna Stamps sneak peek before the release of the new stamps after the release party over on the Hanna Stamps member forum of SCS.

This time round I am using Detective Riley …. isn’t he just soooooo cool! When I saw this week’s weekend sketch challenge over on Beate’s blog over the weekend, I thought it would be fun to use a word search for the centre panel and have riley in the circle. I have a word search stamp which I have had for years so I decided to use that but if you wanted to do something similar you could google “Word Search creator” and you will find another of site that will generate a word search puzzle using words of your choosing.

Here is the inside … I stamped the sentiment “Searching for the Right Words to Say” which is another stamp I have had for years that goes with the word search and then added “Happy Birthday” which is part of Hanna Stamps Greeting set. Going with the word them I decided to use my ABC border punch to create the border on the inside of my card.

Blog Hopping with Hanna Stamps!

Hi again everyone and welcome to my blog. It time to join the Hanna Stamps Design Team for a blog hop!
If you didn’t hop onto my blog from ……….. blog then you may want to hop back to Kristi Ferro’s blog so you can begin the hop at the beginning.

Brand new Hanna & Riley Stamps will be released by Hanna Stamps this coming Monday 5th October after the release party over on the Hanna Stamps Member Forum of SCS. Come join us at our release party from 9pm.

Both my cards today use images from the new Super Hero Hanna set. I was so excited when I saw that Hanna Stamps was releasing a Super Hero set this month as my younger daughter loves Super Heroes and it is also her birthday this month so what could be better hehe. Hopefully she won’t find any of these cards so I can use one of them for her birthday.

For my first card I went totally different to the norm and used the colors pink & brown for my card. I am not sure that these are colors that a real super hero would wear or even if my DD would approve of these colors … but I like it for a change. I used my computer to create the sentiment for this card.



My second card I created a scene. I stamped the phone booth onto my white card and then masked it to create the footpath and the sky. I then stamps Super Hero Hanna onto white card and cut that out and then added this to my card using foam tape.

Did you know that October Hanna Stamps is celebrating their 2nd Hanna versary ..... and to celebrate this event each of the Hanna Stamps Design Team is giving away blog candy. One lucky person will win a Riley stamp if they comment on this blog post before 7pm EST 5th October. So don't forget to leave your comment on my blog and everyone else's blog too be in the chance to win! Winners will be announced at the release party tomorrow night which starts at 9pm EST.
Well now it is time to head on over to the ever so creative Cindy Haffner’s Blog so you can continue on your blog hopping journey. I hope you enjoy the rest of the hop and thanks for dropping by!

WCMD – Hanna Stamps!

I have one more card to share with you today before World Card Making Day draws to a close. I hope you have been able to play along with some of the challenges that have been out there today.

Hanna Stamps is sponsoring one of the WCMD challenges over on the SCS challenge forums. The challenge is a sketch challenge, a nice simple one for the end of a busy day of challenges.

I used the new “Super Hero Hanna” stamp set that will be released by Hanna Stamps this coming Monday 5th October after the release party.

I was so excited when I saw that this was one of the stamp sets for the October release as it is my DD’s birthday this month and she is a big fan of super heroes.


Here is the sketch if you want to play along. You have until midnight Sunday 4th October to complete the challenge and upload your card to SCS to be in the running for a prize.

Top Secret!

Hi everyone

It’s no secret that  Hanna Stamps will be releasing new stamps this coming Monday 5th October after the release party over on the Hanna Stamps Member Forum of SCS.

My cards today use the new Detective Hanna set … this is such a fun set to use. I love creating scenes so I enjoyed creating this one. First I stamped Hanna and the dog which were then masked so I could stamp the floor. While the masks were still in place I used my copic airbrush system to color the floor and wall. I then stamped the footprints across the floor.

I created the sentiment for this card both the inside and out using my computer. I think you can have fun with the different sentiments you could create to go with this stamp set.



Here is the inside of my card. Probably not the greatest sentiment but all I could think of when I was creating this card. I used the labels 7 nestabilities to create the layers for this.



For my second card I stamped the question mark image all over the background of my card. Again I computer generated the sentiment … I figure Hanna could be searching for clues about how old the person is who will get this card hehe. I also added the footprints to two strips of card that I added to my card.

Here is the Hanna Stamp happenings over the next few days.

 * Sneak Peeks - don't forget to check out the rest of the design teams blogs to see what they have created.

* World Card Making Day - Join Hanna Stamps over on the SCS Challenge forums on Saturday 3rd October 11pm for our WCMD challenge. More chances to win new release stamps!
