Make It Monday | Sending Love Hearts …. January Thank You Gifts

Make It Monday Love Hearts Mini Gift Bags January Thank you Valentines using Sending Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK

Make It Monday

My Make It Monday has two parts this week… yes, it carries on into Tuesday! That means that I have videos for you today and tomorrow, Yay! oh, and something special coming on Friday too.

Each month, at the end of the month, I send every single person who has shopped with me a little something to say ‘Thanks’, I have changed up my gift packs for 2017 and they now include a hand-stamped card, a treat and my monthly update. I am really enjoying putting these together, and cannot wait to get started on my February ones!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Valentines Love Hearts Gifts using Sending Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK

These cute mini gift bags contained packs of Mini Love Hearts sweeties. They use a tiny piece of the gorgeous Sending Love Designer Series Paper from the Spring Summer Catalogue. Now, I’m sure you are thinking, ‘Yes Han, its lovely, but its almost Valentines day, and I am never going to use all that paper!’ well, I challenge you to grab a pack, because I can be sure that you will use this paper for all sorts of occasions. One side of each piece is love-themed, but the other is more of a generic print; dots, stripes etc. and even the paper that I have used today could be used outside of Valentines season, its just so pretty. I can actually see some of the patterns used a Christmas… Seriously, a pack of paper for all year!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 14 x 7.5 cm (5 1/2 x 3″)

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

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

Make It Monday Love Hearts Mini Gift Bags January Thank you Valentines using Sending Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UKThe sentiment is taken from the So In Love stamp set (that comes bundled with the most gorgeous thinlits dies!) and is stamped in Real Red, and punched out with my favourite punches. You can find the details of these in the product links below

All of the ones that I sent out were closed with a bow, I think this is my favourite way of closing cute bags like this one… even though I am definitely bow challenged!

Love Hearts Week | Origami Box

Love Hearts Week Origami Box Video Tutorial using Sending Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK

Love Hearts sweets Video tutorials

Oh my goodness, this box looks really complicated but it is SO easy! The tutorial I found for this was on the Gathering Beauty blog, and I have re-made it using 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

Sending Love Designer Series paper Origami Box Stampin' Up! UK

This cute box holds two mini rolls of Love Hearts, but you could make it with any size paper you like (as long as it is square) to hold what ever you like! how cool!

Instructions:

  1. Fold you piece of Designer Series Paper in half, turn and fold in half again. Then unfold and lay with the print you want on the outside, face down.
  2. Fold the bottom edge to meet the halfway mark, rotate and repeat on the opposite side. Unfold and lay flat, you should now see 8 rectangles
  3. Fold the bottom edge to meet the top fold line, rotate and repeat on the opposide side. Unfold and lay flat, you should now see a further 8 smaller rectangles
  4. Fold the top corners to meet the 2 fold line down, and the bottom corners to meet the 2nd fold line up
  5. Rotate your paper so the fold lines are vertical, and turn your paper over so you can now see the print you want on the outside of your box
  6. Fold the bottom edge to meet the halfway mark, rotate and repeat on the opposite side. Then fold the paper edge back
  7. You have now created two flaps, lift one flap, you should see two triangles, open up the triangle to make a rectangle. Do this on both sides
  8. Turn your paper over again so that the print you want on the outside of the box is face down
  9. You need to bring the flaps you created back over so you can see them. To do this you need to fold so that the edge of the flap meets the edge of the two rectangles that you can currently see (check the video for this bit, it is easier to demonstrate that explain)
  10. To construct the box; raise the flap to create the sides, you should then be able to fold the outside flaps to fold the lids of the box. You need to take the triangles on the flaps (that we got rid of before) and fold them to the second crease on the side of the box. This should pull the top of the box up. Repeat on all four triangles
  11. To close the box you can push one side of the lid into the triangles side the other side of the lid

You could make a bunch of these and store them flat (so stop at instruction 9). Right I am off to make a bigger one out of a full piece of 12 x 12! Now, which paper to choose…..


Question of the day: What has been your favourite project this week?

I love them all! I LOVE this box, but the ink technique from Wednesday is something I will be playing with again I am sure 🙂

Global Design Project 071 – 3D Squishy bag!

Global Design Project 3D challenge Pop of Pink squishy bag

I LOVE taking part in challenges! I am trying to join in with the Global Design Project every single Tuesday (which to be honest is a challenge in itself!) but I am currently also challenging myself in other ways too, I think 2017 might just be the year of the challenge!

Global Design Project 071

I will openly admit that this challenge scared the pants of me (and I almost didn’t bother this week!) 3D is a really struggle for me, I am not blessed with that skill of being able to see a 3D project and then make it! and I had a quick look through my die collection, but there is nothing 3D in there either….. so I turned to Pinterest and remembered THIS fabulous project by my lovely friend Sam, I had been meaning to have a go at this bag, well this was my opportunity!

Global Design Project 3D challenge Pop of Pink squishy bag

The bag itself is really simple;

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 12 x 6″ (30.5 x 15 cm)

Score on the long side at 3 3/4, 5 3/4, 9 1/2 and 11 1/2″ (9.5, 14.5, 24, 29 cm)

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

gdp-071-pootles-bag

I have used the Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper (which I have been hoarding, because it is just so damn pretty!) and it sent me onto a bit of a Gold kick! The panel on the front of the bag is 2 x 2 3/4″ and I coated it in Versamark and heat embossed it in Gold embossing powder! The layer on the top is 1 3/4 x 2 1/2″ of Whisper White, and I’ve used the Swirly Bird stamp set to add a touch of Flirty Flamingo (all that Gold was getting a bit too much!)

Thanks so much for checking out my little corner of the internet today, and I hope to see you again soon!
