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

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!

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″)

The 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!

Make It Monday | Guys Birthday Card using the Nailed It Bundle

Make It Monday Male Birthday Card using Nailed It From Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome back to Make It Monday! I LOVE making these videos, I hope you enjoy watching them too. This week I thought I would share a male birthday card I made recently for my Father-In-Law.

Male birthday cards can be tricky, especially when you’re like me and most of your stamp collection seams to be flowers or butterflies! I prefer a ‘pretty’ style, and so guy cards can be a challenge, however, Stampin’ Up! have made guy cards super easy with the Nailed It bundle. Not only does it include a selection of tool (no I cannot name them, my husband will be very disappointed in me!) but handy extras like screws, and a great hexagon. I LOVE Stampin’ Up! bundles, they come with the stamp and the coordinating die set, and when you buy the bundle (rather than the separate items) you save 10% ! Win Win!

The Nailed It bundle also coordinates with some other great items in the Spring Summer catalogue; I am having heaps of fun with the Hexagon Dynamic Embossing folder, and I might have to grab a second pack of the Urban Underground Designer Series Paper! I have recently received a pack of the Urban Underground embellishments too, and I cannot wait to get those on a card!

Question of the Day: What is your favourite method of tackling a Men’s card?

I try and find a theme; tools, cars, or failing that a cool embossing folder and a big sentiment! anything to get back to making pretty cards with flowers and butterflies!

Make It Monday | Cute card using Sweet Cupcake from Stampin’ Up! UK

Make It Monday video tutorial using Sweet cupcake and watercolour pencils from Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome to Monday! I do hope this week is totally awesome for you…. I can make it even more awesome of course! Have you checked out my most recent Online Card Class yet? This class uses the fabulous Sweet Cupcake stamp and die bundle…. check the video to see exactly what comes in your class pack

I love the Sweet Cupcake stamp set. It is designed to work as a triple layer stamp, with both the cupcake base and the icing have 3 stamps to create a totally dimensional cupcake. However, I have only used the base layer to create this card…. and then added extra detail with Watercolour Pencils (obsessed with those!)

The watercolour pencils can be used either on their own – as regular pencils – with an Aqua Painter or a paint brush, or with a blender pen. So far my experiments with a blender pen seem to have better blended results that with an Aqua-Painter or a paint brush, but then I haven’t finished playing with them yet…

Make It Monday | Happy Ornament

Happy Ornament Watercolour Christmas card using Stampin' Up! UK Products

Welcome to Make It Monday! I have to confess, this is the last Make It Monday of 2016! as Christmas approaches I have something super special coming next week!

I’ve been loving making Christmas Cards with this stamp this year, Happy Ornament is a single wood mounted stamp and its a great price too. It is only available while stocks last however as it retires on the 3rd January 2017.

How fabulous is that colour combination?! Sweet Sugarplum, Crushed Curry and Rose Red, Not traditionally Christmas-y but I’m quite enjoying a non-traditional colour kick at the moment. We put our Christmas tree up yesterday, and my colour combination this year is purples and silvers, very pretty

Check out the video for all my watercolouring tips for this one; I will say that it was super easy to colour. The video is 8 minutes long and its all in real time, so I’m sure you could whip up a batch of these in no time!

Last day for orders for delivery before Christmas is the 13th December, so get those orders in ASAP! Don’t forget as well I also have a stack of gift Vouchers available for all your Crafty Friends Christmas Presents, just drop me a message using THIS form.

Question of the Day: I’m currently planning for Make It Monday videos in the new year, what would you like to see? Let me know in the comments below

Make It Monday | Christmas Card and Gift Card Holder using Christmas Pines

Make it Monday video gift card holders and vouchers Stampin' Up! UK

Before I get into this weeks Make It Monday, I just want to let you know that TODAY ONLY we have a great Flash Sale going on! Check out all the details HERE!

I’ve been making a few of this style of card with a matching gift card envelope for customers ordering Gift vouchers recently. They are super speedy makes and look really sharp.

And the design works with just about any sentiment too! I mean, that Christmas card looks awesome with the Emerald Envy Glitter Embossed sentiment

The gift card holders are super easy to make with the Gift Card Envelope and Trim Thinlits dies. The die not only cuts the shape, but scores the fold lines too, so you can make a gift card holder in 10 minutes!

The sentiments on both these cards were totally hand stamped, but if you’re not confident stamping straight you could just as easily use a Stamp-a-ma-jig to ensure level sentiments

Question of the day: What’s your favourite type of gift? I LOVE receiving gift cards, I know I’m a bit odd with that one, but I just loving being given the gift of shopping! I hate getting bath stuff, last Christmas I got 10 bottles of bubble bath! I don’t know if my family are trying to tell me something! lol
