Make It Monday banner

Today’s project is a fun one… we all send cards all the time, but why does a card have to be card stock folded in half?! I think today’s project would make a super cute invitation, or a fun ‘just because’ card, or a great way to dress up a gift card!

Making a fun fancy fold Pocket Card using Gorgeous Grape and Stitched All Around from Stampin' Up!

Firstly, lets just talk about those colours! Oh my goodness I am in LOVE with this colour combination: Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Petal Pink. One of the best things about Stampin’ Up! products is the coordination. The Card stock is the same colour as the Ink, is the same colour as the Embellishments, is the same colour as the ribbon, Designer Series Paper and more! I would LOVE you to try Stampin’ Up! inks…. we have SO many fabulous colours. You can check them all out HERE

This is simple project…. really it’s just an envelope with a fun insert! But there are SO many ways to dress this up… I would LOVE to see your versions! Share them with me over on my Facebook Group!

Measurements:

Card stock: 7-7/8x 7-7/8″

Punch and score using the Envelope Punch Board at 3-3/8″

Insert:

Gorgeous Grape: 4 x 5-1/2″

Whisper White: 3-3/4 x 5-1/4″

Belly Band:

Petal Pink: 1-1/2 x 11″

My other love at the moment is the fabulous Stitched All Around Bundle! That label die is finding it’s way onto a heap of projects at the moment. Did you see my Notecards and Envelopes Project last week… it used the same die, but it looks so different!

Memories and More Desk Storage Box with Pen Holder

How to make a storage box for your Memories and More cards using Stampin' Up! card stock and Designer Series Paper

StampinByHannah Memories and More Desk Storage Box with Pen Holder

I’m on a bit of a storage making kick at the moment… I think it’s because I keep looking at furniture I can’t buy (yet!), and so making my own crafty storage is a reasonable alternative! I have told the story before about how I was led to card making from scrapbooking, but I don’t think I’ve ever said anything about how much I LOVE pocket scrapbooking! It’s just so quick, and you can whip up and album in just a few hours. My Wedding Album (still under development… and currently at the bottom of a large storage box, because you know; moving!) is mostly made up of Pockets, with some 12 x 12 pages thrown in!

Fun storage for Project Life or Memories and More Cards Video Tutorial

These are some of the new Memories and More cards too… so pretty! I am planning on using these to catch up with my One Little Word Album for 2018, which I am slightly (read: 4 months!) behind with.

Measurements:

Box 1: 10 x 3-1/2″ (25 x 9 cm)

Score on the long side at 4-1/4, 4-3/4, 9, and 9-1/2″ (10.5, 12, 22.5 and 24 cm)

Score on the short side at 1/2″ (1.5 cm)

Box 2: 9 x 3″ (22 x 7.5 cm)

Score on the long side at 3-1/4, 4-1/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/2″ (8, 10.5, 18.5 and 21 cm)

Box 3: 4-1/2 x 3″ (11 x 7.5 cm)

Score on the long side at 1, 2, 3, and 4″ (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 cm)

International Blog Highlights | Teacher Gifts!

International Blog Highlights Teacher Gifts Teabag Gift Box using Share What You Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights Teacher Gifts!

Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the August Blog Highlight! I adore taking part in these every month and was totally honoured to be chosen as a top pick in July! You can see the winners blog hop from last month HERE!

I think Kylie has set us a really tough challenge this month! It might just be me though… Teacher Gifts?! Now, for us here in the UK, this is a little late as the kids are all currently off school for the summer. But, I don’t have any children either… so the whole thing is a bit lost on me to be honest! However, I’m always up for a challenge…. so, Teacher Gifts it is, and Teacher Gifts you have got!

How to make a fun Teacher Gift using the Envelope Punch Board and Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

These are really simple little gifts, because I understand that you need something quick, and probably multiples of them for all those fabulous Teaching Assistants (I know about those… my mother and mother in law both work in schools!). So, I’ve these cute boxes are made in a snap using the Envelope Punch Board, and each hold 4 individually wrapped tea bags.

The Designer Series Paper is called Share What You Love, and because it’s a heavier weight than most of the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper it’s great for boxes and bags! I’ve even taken a sanding block to it for a fun shabby effect.

The sentiment and dies are taken from the Stitched All Around bundle. I am in LOVE with these stamps and dies! This sentiment is particularly special to me; as I used to sing this song to a resident every single morning… it always made her smile, and she would sing along to. I left that job back in April, and I know that that lady has since passed (not wanting to bring this post down!)… but it’s one of the reason’s why I LOVE my day job! I know that I’m a nurse, rather than a teacher…. but these would make awesome nurses gifts!

Cute Envelope Punch Board Gift Box using Share What You Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper; 6-3/8 x 6-3/8″

Punch and Score at 2-1/2″ and the 4″ on on the first side, then use these lines as a guide to punch and score the other 3 sides.

Love What You Do Divided Sweetie Box…

How to make a cute divided box for sweeties or stationary using Stampin' Up! Share What You Love Designer Series Paper

StampinByHannah Love What You Do Divided Sweetie Box…

So, today I thought I would re-visit a project I shared on this very blog about 3 years ago! I cannot believe that I have been sharing with you here for over 4 years now, I LOVE reading all your comments but I would also love to see if you have made something inspired by something I have shared too. You can share your work with me over on my Facebook Page or, if you don’t want the world to see it, drop me an email! You never know, I might even pop something in the post to you as a Thank you!

How to make a fun box with a cut out lid using Square Framelits and Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

For all I’m calling these Divided Sweetie Boxes they would also look super cute on your desk holding all those paper clips, elastic bands and other random desk junk (do other people have this… or is it just me?!). Both of these boxes actually use the same piece of Designer Series Paper from the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper Pack, don’t you love when you can’t decide which side of the paper you love more and have to make two of something just because?! Or is that just me as well!

Measurements:

Card stock for the box base: 6 x 6″ (15 x 15 cm)

Score on all 4 sides at 1″ (2.5 cm)

Designer Series Paper for the box lid: 5-9/16 x 5-9/16″ (14.3 x 14.3 cm)

Score on all 4 sides at 3/4″ (2 cm)

Card stock for dividers: 1 piece that measures 4 x 5-1/2″ (10 x 13.8 cm) and 2 pieces that measure 2 x 5-1/2″ (5 x 13.8 cm)

Score at 2″ (5 cm) on each end and then flip the card stock over and score again at 2-3/4″ (6.9 cm)

Cute divided box with lid using pattened paper from Stampin' Up!

The most special part of these boxes for me is the Square cut out windows. In the original box I cut these by hand because I didn’t have a square die, but for this version I used the Layering Square Dies to cut the window and made the cute Crumb Cake frames too. These frames are really easy to make; first cut the straight edged square from a piece of card stock, then cut a scalloped square out around that one to create a frame. You can see exactly how I did this in the video tutorial above.

I would love to see your creations this weekend, I’ll be back tomorrow with a fun blog hop with the InspireINK team, hope to see you then!

Notebook Cover with Pen Loop using Tea Room Designer Series Paper…

Jotter sized note book cover with pen loop DIY using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Notebook Cover with Pen Loop using Tea Room Designer Series Paper…

Today’s project was inspired by my fabulous stampin’ buddy Angelina…. I am a bit of a stationary hoarder, and I need a little encouragement to actually use my notebooks, pens, sticky notes etc. sometimes! These notebooks have been hanging around in my office for a while, and I’ve covered a few in the past, but it’s time that they moved on and the best way to do that is to make them pretty and gift them to someone! So, who wants one?! I always sent notebooks and things to my team members… so who’s gonna be the next person to join my team and bag one?

How to apply a cover to a jotter pad using Tea Room Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

These both use the Tea Room Speciality Designer Series Paper to add a little something to the front of the covers, and while one I have added the stamping directly onto the paper, the other has some extra layers and details. Both are designed to hold these pens, they were gifted to us at a Stampin’ Up! OnStage event… these fabulous events are Demonstrator only entry, but I wanted to let you know that the registration for the next one (held in Birmingham this coming November) will open in August, and while we have the fabulous Stampin’ Pad Family joining offer it would be a great time to come and join my team!

Measurements:

Card stock: 6-1/4 x 8-1/4″ (16 x 21 cm)

Score on the short side at 2-3/4 and 3″ (7 and 7.5 cm)

Designer Series Paper: 8 x 2-1/2″ (6.5 x 20.5 cm)

Card stock for the Pen Loop: 1-1/2 x 2-1/2″ (3.5 x 7 cm)

Score on the long side at 1/2, 1, 1-1/2 and 2″ (1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 cm)
