Make It Monday | Good Tidings Catalogue Cards

Make it Monday Christmas Card video tutorial using Good Tidings from Stampin' Up!

I have some very special cards to share with you today. I made a heap of these to send out with my Autumn Winter Catalogues (if you haven’t seen the new catalogue, you can find a link in the side bar…). I love this stamp set…. and I am sure I will be sharing heaps more projects with this one really soon!

I loved making these…. I grabbed my stamps and inks a couple of weeks ago and stamped a bunch of these on my knee whilst watching a movie with James. The Good Tidings stamp set features one of my absolute favourite stamping techniques… 2 Step stamping, to make this stunning holly. The stamps line up so easily, and actually even if the stamps are not lined up exactly it doesn’t matter, its still pretty!

The leaves are stamped in Old Olive and Garden Green, while the berries are Real Red and Cherry Cobbler. I die cut the square of Whisper White first, along with the scalloped square of Cherry Cobbler using the Layering Square Framelits.

The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black and is taken from Cheers to the Year.

I also LOVE the Designer Series Paper featured on this card…. its called Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper, its a little thinner than the usual Designer Series Paper but its so pretty.

Make It Monday | Magnetic Closure Notebooks

Make It Monday Notebook covers using Eastern Palace suite from Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Make It Monday! I am loving this weeks project, I made these a few weeks ago and they have sat, looking all pretty on my desk every since…. saying that I really want to send them to someone… but I’ll get to that later!

Notebooks are always a handy gift. These are marked for Team Member gifts…. I always send a little something to new team members to welcome them to the team, and a notebook is great…. I mean, your massive wish list needs somewhere to go, right?!

The purple notebook (sorry, Fresh Fig!) uses the Eastern Palace stamp set and coordinating Eastern Beauty Designer Series Paper. The trick to these notebook covers is the magnets… yes they have a magnetic snap closure. I am sure that these covers would be just as cute without the magnets, but I took delivery of a heap of magnets last week and just HAD to use them on a project! I get my magnets from Ebay…. just search for Neodymium Disc magnets, and I am sure you will find them!

Measurements:

These notebook covers are for Jotter sized notebooks, and are in metric measurements only.

Card stock: 21 x 18.5 cm

Score on the SHORT side at 7, 7.5, 14.5 and 15 cm

Designer Series Paper: 20.5 x 6.5 cm AND 20.5 x 3 cm

August is a great time to think about joining the team. We are in the middle of pre-order month for the new Autumn Winter catalogue, which means that you could fill your Starter Kit with Christmas goodies and get your hands on some awesome stamp sets before anyone else! I did a whole video on why I think August is a great time to join on Saturday… I would LOVE you to check it out.

One of the things about making more 3D things is that I am also LOVING this years selection of Designer Series Papers…. these two in particular are some of my top picks; Naturally Eclectic and Be Merry. I have paired that lovely festive Be Merry paper with Christmas Pines and its coordinating die set. While the Naturally Eclectic version (made in the video) uses the Eclectic Layers thinlits and Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp set

Designer Series Paper – 6 x 8″ (15 x 20 cm)

Score on the short side at; 3/4, 2 3/4, 3 1/2 and 5 1/2″ (2, 7, 9 and 14 cm)

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

The sentiments are punched out using the Pretty Label punch (another one of my must have’s) I am loving this punch at the moment… it’s just so versatile! and you guys know how much I love a product I can use in LOTS of different ways!

Make It Monday | Hogs and Kisses Note Card Set using This Little Piggy

Do you ever have those stamp sets where you absolutely HAVE to make something with them the second they arrive in your craft room?! Well, this is one of those projects from one of those stamps! This Little Piggy is just the cutest stamp set…. I mean, who doesn’t love pigs!

When we first saw this stamp set back in April at On Stage Live the room went nuts… partly because the stamps are just adorable, but partly (I’m sure) because the lady demonstrating had put them in tutu’s!!!! yes… I am damn sure I will be making a piggy tutu card really soon! but for now…. here is my Hogs and Kisses Note card set

The note card holder holds 3 note cards and their envelopes…. but there is room for a couple more! Particularly as you get 4 card bases from a single sheet of A4 card stock.

Note cards measure – 14.8 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long side at 7.4.

Matt – 6.9 x 10 cm

Stamped layer – 6.4 x 9.5 cm

Note card box measurements (because this project uses the Envelope Punch Board I only use Imperial Measurements)

Card stock – 8 x 8″

Punch and score at 3 5/8 and 5″

Belly Band

Card stock – 1 3/4 x 11″ (4.5 x 27 cm)

Designer Series Paper – 1 1/2 x 11″ (4 x 27 cm)

The Envelope Punch Board is one of my all times favourite tools… its great not only for custom sized envelopes for those special cards, but also boxes and other packaging.

Envelopes for the note cards use Designer Series Paper measuring 6 1/4 x 6 1/4″ (punch and score at 2 3/4″)

What is your favourite Card Making tool?

Make It Monday | Large Fold Flat Box using Fresh Florals from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Fold Flat giftbox using Fresh Florals from Stampin' Up!

Oh I am so excited for this project this week! I have been trying for ages to get better at 3D projects, and recently I feel like I have finally got to grips with making boxes (and making them look pretty!) so…. this box started life as some packaging, really really boring white packaging…. and look at it now!

This generous sized box is super easy to make AND it folds flat…. perfect for making a few in advance!

I am loving the 2017-2019 In Colours, I have used Fresh Fig and Powder Pink for these boxes, along with the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper.

Measurements:

Card stock – 9 1/2 x 9″ (25 x 23 cm)

Score on the long side at 1 1/2, 4 1/2, 6 and 9″ (4, 11.5, 15.5 and 23 cm)

Score on the short side at 1/2, 2, 7 and 8 1/2″ (1, 5, 18 and 22 cm)

Designer Series Paper

2 pieces that measure – 2 3/4 x 4 3/4″ (12.5 x 7 cm)

2 pieces that measure – 1 1/4 x 4 3/4″ (12.5 x 3.5 cm)

2 pieces that measure – 1 1/4 x 2 3/4″ (3.5 x 7 cm)

I haven’t stamped today….. I know, its really naughty of me! but that Designer Series Paper is just so pretty that stamping would be wasteful!

I have two different versions of this cute gift bag, perfect for Yankee Candle Tealights (or chocolate, or sweeties, lipstick, etc).

Make It Monday | Square Bottomed Gift Bag

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.

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)

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!
