Cute Cube Box Tutorial

Welcome to Tuesday’s at StampinByHannah!

I do hope to post 3D projects on a Tuesday, and as this is the first week of the (almost) new year, I thought I would start now!

Stampin' Up! UK lided cube box envelope punch board

This super cute box uses the Envelope Punch Board (available directly from me and Stampin’ Up!), and is a lovely little box with a separate lid.

This box took me a surprisingly long time to come up with (and a LOT of scrap paper!) but with the help of Craft Owl’s Box Buster I finally made it!

Measurements –

because the EPB works best in imperial I have only listed the imperial measurements

Base

– Cardstock – 6 1/2 x 6 1/2″

– punch and score at 1 7/8″ and again at 4 5/8″ and follow the score lines to punch and score on the other three sides

Lid

– Designer Series paper – 6 x 6″

– punch and score at 1 7/8″ and again at 4″ and follow the score lines to punch and score on the other three sides

 

I finished this box with some stamping from Something to Say, punched out with the Modern Label Punch, and the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack

Hello!

Hello! I hope everyone had a great Christmas! I had a short blogging break over the weekend, but I am back and getting ready for the launch of the Spring/Summer catalogue next week! there are some really exciting things coming really soon.

I wanted to let you know that I have updated my blogging calender ready for the new year, and aim to post 2 cards and 2 3-d items a week, with a return of Fancy Fold Fridays, AND more video tutorials! yay!

So, without further ado, lets get to todays card!

Stampin' Up! UK Hello A Dozen Thoughts Pallion Potpourri

When I was planning for this week I thought I would set myself a challenge. So, I randomly selected four ink colours and two stamp sets with the aim of making a couple of cards for this weeks posts. This was the first card I made, using A Dozen Thoughts and Papillon Potpourri, with Gorgeous Grunge accents.

The ink colours I used were So Saffron, Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay.

I have to say, I love the look of this card, but the colours wouldn’t have been my first choice of colour combinations. However, I think it works! That is one of the great things about Stampin’ Up! the colours are all designed to work together. Oh, and that the inks match the cardstock because the card base here is So Saffron too!

To finish I added some Candy dots to either side of the Sentiment (punched out with the Modern label punch), and gave the largest butterfly some bling!

Vellum!!! oh and a 3D project!

Ok, I have a confession to make. I have a problem. I (along with James) cannot leave anything Complimentary in a hotel room!

Recently I had a night away with James, really it was a Stampin’ Up! event, but we turned it into a romantic mid-week break. I love staying in hotels, and seeing as we haven’t had a holiday in a couple of years , we take mini-breaks instead.

But every time we stay away we come home with the hotel complimentary toiletries!

I try and use them up in the gym, but James challenged me to make a bag / box to put them in this time, and seeing as its almost Christmas, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who has a similar problem, I though you could make these as pillow gifts for you house guests over the festive season!

Stampin' Up! UK Vellum Milk carton bag

These are super cute! Don’t you love vellum! and metallic ribbon! These use the Satin Ribbon in Gold and Silver!

Measurements:

Vellum – 6 1/2 x 9″ (

Score on the long side at – 1 3/4, 4 1/4, 6, and 8 1/2 (

Score on the short side at – 1 3/4, 4 3/4, and 6″ (

 

DISCLAIMER – I hold no responsibility for any damage caused by anyone using my Satin Ribbon Top Tip! Use this tip with GREAT care, and hold your ribbon as far away from any cardstock/paper/vellum or any other material as you can! Never leave a lighter with a child!

12 Tags of Christmas – The Finale!

Welcome to the final tag in the 12 Tags of Christmas series! I hope to run this series again next Christmas, but lets wait and see!

Stampin' Up! UK Santa and CO 12 Tags of Christmas

This tag is definitely may favourite! Using a 2 x 6″ piece of Santa and Co DSP, complete with super cute snowmen!

After punching the Scallop Tag Topper (again) I kept this tag simple (as usual, I don’t do complex!) and finished the tag by adding some of the Frosted Sequins with some Crystal Effects glue.

Stampin' Up! UK Snowman Tag Santa and Co

And added some of white Bakers twine to to top.

Done!

Thanks for following my 12 Tags of Christmas.

See you again soon

A White Holiday Home….

This card uses two of my favourite stamp sets from the Autumn/Winter catalogue from Stampin’ Up! – White Christmas and Holiday Home

Stampin' Up! UK White Christmas Holiday Home

Like my last Holiday Home card I’ve used Night of Navy.

I only inked up half of the trees stamp from White Christmas, and stamped it next to the house from Holiday Home on a piece of Whisper White. The sentiment is also from Holiday Home and has been punched out with the Modern Label punch.

I thought I’d finished at that point, but it looked a little too plain (Yes, it is possible!), so I added the flying Santa stamp to the top left corner for a bit of interest. I’m not sure if there is still something missing here, what would you add?

Christmas Baubles!

I love Christmas (can you tell!) and one of my absolute favourite things is to customise my Christmas decorations. Each year I add something crafty to my home. A couple of years ago I made my own Christmas wreath, but this year I found some Baubles in Home Bargains perfect for customising!

Stampin' Up! UK Christmas Baubles

 

These baubles (£3.99 for 4) are designed for putting your families photos in, but they are also great for using with  scraps of cardstock and stamps!

My Christmas Tree has a colour scheme (yes, I’m one of those people, it has to match AND I’ll know if you moved something on it!), and for the last couple of years my Tree has been covered in Purple and Silver baubles (no other ornaments need bother!). So, when it came time to make my bauble inserts there was only one colour for me! Blackberry Bliss!

Unfortunately, when I measured the bauble inserts that came with the baubles, the piece needed was 2 and 5/8″ (a size Stampin’ Up don’t have in a punch), so I used my electronic die cutter to cut the circles. The stamps I used are Holiday Home (and the matching Framelits), and Festival of Trees.

They look awesome on my tree!

Chocolate Money Wallet

I love chocolate! I mean, there really is a reason why I am overweight, and right now, its Christmas and chocolate is everywhere! (I WILL loose weight in the new year – have to fit into that wedding dress! eeek!)

I found chocolate coins and notes in Tesco’s last week, and just had to make a project for them! There are loads of tutorials for chocolate coins, but the notes?! well, I’d never seen them before!

Stampin' Up! UK chocolate money wallet

These are just so tiny!

The original uses the Trim the Tree DSP, but the one in front is the gorgeous All is Calm paper (so sad to see it leave us soon!), and its that Scalloped Tag Topper Punch again!

 

Measurements:

Cardstock = 6 x 3 1/2″ (9 x 15.5 cm) (the metric version is slightly bigger)

Score on the long side at: 1/2, 2 3/4, 3 1/4 and 5 1/2″ (1.5, 7, 8.2, 14 cm)

Score on the short side at: 1/2, 2 and 2 1/2″ (1.5, 5, 6.5 cm)

 

Before I go today, it just had to pop in a picture of the box I used to store these chocolate in (that was before they were all eaten of course!)

Stampin' Up! UK chocolate box takeout boxIts one of the lovely Takeout boxes, with a tag made from the Under the Tree tag a bag accessory kit!

Lovely!
