Make It Monday | Yankee Candle Gift Bag

Make It Monday Pootles Papercraft Yankee Candle Gift Bag using Petal Garden Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

This week I have another project from a Crafty Retreat I went on a few weekends ago. I LOVE to craft with my Stampin’ Sisters (or anyone for that matter!) and I don’t get to do it very often. However, I do have a plan for some Crafty Retreats for you lovely people coming really really soon! To keep up to date with any news regarding any upcoming events, please sign up for my Email newsletter HERE!

Make It Monday Yankee Candle Gift Bag Video Tutorial using Floral Petal Garden Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

I have two different versions of this cute gift bag, perfect for Yankee Candle Tealights (or chocolate, or sweeties, lipstick, etc). The first is a fun coffee themed version using the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper and Coffee Cafe stamp set. While the version I made on video uses the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper and Rose Garden stamp set and coordinating dies.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 6 x 6 ” (15 x 15 cm)

Score on the first side at 1 3/4, 2 3/4, 4 1/2 and 5 1/2″ (4.5, 7, 11.5 and 14 cm)

Score on the second side at 1″ (2.5 cm)

I adore that ribbon, it is so pretty and super easy to tie into bows! Although I’m not sure you can tell by looking at that picture! As always the links to all the products in this project can be found in my Webstore, and direct links are below…

Make It Monday | Square Bottomed Gift Bag

Make It Monday Square bottomed gift bag candles chocolate lipstick using A Whole Lot of Lovely from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Hello! Welcome to this weeks Make It Monday!
A few weeks ago I attended a Crafty Retreat with 40 of my Stampin’ Sisters, and the next few Make It Mondays are things that have been inspired by project from that weekend. This particular project was inspired by a Swap I received from the lovely Jane Carroll.

Make It Monday Square bottomed gift bag candles chocolate lipstick using A Whole Lot of Lovely from Stampin' Up!

This fun mini gift bag starts off as a pretty standard bag, the trick is in the closing….. Instead of pinching the top, or punching a hole and threading some ribbon, the box is flattened. I have kept it closed with a staple, but you could us a clip or ribbon.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 5 1/2 x 6″ (14 x 15.5 cm)

Score on the short side at: 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 3 3/4 and 5″ (3, 6, 9 and 12 cm)

Score on the long side at: 1 1/4″ (3 cm)

Make It Monday Square bottomed gift bag candles chocolate lipstick using A Whole Lot of Lovely from Stampin' Up!

The Designer Series Paper for the black bag is from A Whole Lot of Lovely, while the white one is Naturally Eclectic. The sentiment is taken from Lovely Inside and Out.

My favourite part of this bag though has to be those cute paper bows. They are super easy to create using the Bow Builder Punch; check the video for how I put them together. I do have a couple of tips though, I would use TomBow glue to stick them together (rather than the glue dots I used for speed in the video), and give the pieces time to dry before assembling the bow. Use a bone folder to create a natural bend in card stock, and use card stock rather than Designer Series Paper.

Make It Monday | Mini Chocolate Pouches

Pootles Papercraft Team Craft Retreat Swaps using Happy Birthday Gorgeous from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Hello! I am super excited for this week at StampinByHannah…. I have BIG plans for the upcoming month, and we have a couple of totally AWESOME offers from Stampin’ Up! too

Pootles Papercraft Team Craft Retreat Swaps using Happy Birthday Gorgeous from Stampin' Up!

How cute are these?! I made 45 of these for my Stampin’ Sisters that attended our team Craft Retreat last weekend… I hope that they liked them. Actually I know that one of the recipients loved them – I made a few extra for some of the Pootles children, and one of them did a lovely video to say thanks (yes, it made me cry… a lot! but that’s me at the moment, very emotional, I’m putting it down to extreme stress….. hoping that is going to be over really soon…but that’s a completely different story!)

The actual swaps used the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper, but I think I have seen a little TOO MUCH of that paper recently and just couldn’t face making them again! So I have changed things up a bit for the tutorial and have used the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper instead…. Enjoy!

Just a quick video from me on this Monday…. but I have another 2 videos coming to you this week, so I hope that that makes up for it!

Hello! Well, this weekend was a busy one…. I have been away on a Team Crafty Retreat with my Stampin’ Sisters. I LOVE spending time with my crafty buddies, talking stamping, and making lots and lots of pretty things…. I will be sharing more of what we got up to later in the week, along with my little team swap!

Back to today, I have a quick video for you this week! I made a stack of these cute envelopes for the lovely ladies who shopped with me in May, I hope they arrived safely!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to make Cute Envelopes with the Envelope Punch Board from We are Memory Keepers using Delightful Daisy from Stampin' up!

Ok, so I have a confession to make…. I filmed this weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to post it because this fabulous Daisy Punch is currently out of stock! I hate showing you things that you can’t get your hands on…. but I have run out of filmed projects! I know, I know, I really need to get back on top of things this week…. Filming days already scheduled for Saturday! I hope that the punch will be back really soon… in the meantime though, the stamp set is available, as is that super pretty Designer Series Paper!

3D Friday | Tealight Box Revisited!

3D Friday Video Tutorial Pootles Inspired Tealight box using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

When I first started by my Blog and YouTube channel I created a cute little box for some tealights… and while the video wasn’t great and the photos were… hmmm, lets not go there! I LOVED it! So, now that my skills have vastly improved, I thought I would revisit this project from 3 years ago, altering the measurements a little for some slightly bigger tea lights!

3D Friday Video Tutorial Pootles Inspired Tealight box using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

As I mentioned yesterday I have cleared most of my craft room of things that have retiring, or are retiring… however every now and again I might reach into the box of goodies we are saying goodbye to… which I have done with one of these boxes. I filmed this video tutorial a few weeks ago, and it is impossible to predict how quickly something might sell out, and the Designer Series Paper (Blooms and Bliss) on the blue box is limited stock! Grab it now before it goes, it’s so pretty!

Measurements:

Card stock – 5 3/4 x 6 1/4″ (14.5 x 15.5 cm)

Score on the short side at – 1, 2 5/8, 3 5/8, and 5 1/4″ (2.5, 6.5, 9 and 13 cm)

Score on the long side at – 1/2, 1 1/2, 4 3/4 and 5 3/4″ (1, 3.5, 12 and 14.5 cm)

3D Friday Video Tutorial Candle box featuring Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

The second box, made on video, uses the Jar of Love stamp set to create a fun background in Rich Razzleberry.

3D Friday | Green and Blacks Mini Chocolate Gift Bags

I have made several confessions to you, my lovely blog readers, over the past few months…. I can’t remember if I have said this one before…. I am a chocoholic! I LOVE anything chocolate, or chocolate flavoured, or really any form of chocolate really. And that is why today’s tutorial is a bit of a miracle…. chocolate has survived in my craft room long enough for me to make a cute project using it! (actually I have more than one, keep you posted on those soon!)

3D Friday Video Tutorial Mini Chocolate Gift Bags using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

I love this paper (not quite as much as I love chocolate… but almost!) but it has sadly already sold out! Seriously, if you haven’t checked the retiring list yet you really need to before those stamps you’ve had your eye on for a couple of months disappear! This paper, this very pretty paper will be back though…. check the video for a sneaky peak!

Measurements:

Designer Series paper – 4 x 4″ (10 x 10 cm)

Score on the 1st side at – 1/2, 1 3/4, 2 1/4 and 3 1/2″ (1.2, 4.5, 5.7 and 9 cm)

Score on the 2nd side at – 1/2″ (1.2 cm)

3D Friday Giant Milk Carton Video Tutorial using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Aren’t they fab! I’m sure that if you made these out of card stock rather than Designer Series Paper you could use them for candles, or hand creams, or bath bombs …. although my brain always goes to chocolates!

Score on the long side at – 2 3/4, 5 1/2, 8 1/4 ad 11″ (7, 14, 21, and 28 cm)

I have LOVED Sale-a-bration this year, and am so sad that it is over! However, I am off to Amsterdam next week for Stampin’ Up! OnStage so I can’t be sad for too long, particularly as I am about to get a sneak peak of the new Annual Catalogue!!! So Exciting!!!

3D Friday | 5 Sided Twist 'n' Close Box

3D Friday Video Tutorial Pootles inspired Twist and close box using Stampin' Up! UK Products

3d-friday

Welcome to a brand new series of blog posts and videos! I am so looking forward to this… although I am a little nervous!… 3D items aren’t always my friends, however I am giving it a go… and there might be a couple of Fancy Fold Cards from time to time too…but this week I thought we would kick off with something a bit special (and inspired by my friend Sam aka: the 3D queen!)

3D Friday Video Tutorial 5 sided twist and close box using Inside the Lines from Stampin' Up! UK

This adorable little box uses less than half a sheet of A4 card stock, and the measurements mean that you could totally make this using US paper sizes too! I love a cute box, but sometimes getting them closed (and to stay shut) is a bit of a challenge, not with this one… it stays closed all by itself, just by the action of the card stock!

Measurements:

Card stock – 8 x 4 1/2″ (21 x 12 cm)

Score on the long side at 1 1/2, 3, 4 1/2, 6 and 7 1/2″ (4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 cm)

Mark the card stock on the same long side at 3/4, 2 1/4, 3 3/4, 5 1/4 and 6 3/4″ (2, 6, 10, 14 and 18 cm)

Score on the short side at 1 1/2 and 3″ (4 and 8 cm)

Designer Series Paper – 1 x 8″ ( 2.5 x 21 cm)

3D Friday Video Tutorial Pootles inspired Twist and close box using Stampin' Up! UK Products

The Designer Series Paper I have used on this one is FREE! as part of Sale-a-bration… Inside the Lines is designed to be coloured in, but I have to say I am enjoying using it as it is!


Question of the day: What will you make this box for?

I had intended it for lip balm, but actually you could fit loads of different things in here, and I can already see a even smaller version for a posh chocolate!
