StampinByHannah Make It Monday 3 card ideas with Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!
I had a heap of fun yesterday on Facebook Live…. usually I share these videos on my blog immediately after, but with everything going on at the moment (crazy busy in the day job, re-marketing the flat, the heat, and a lack of sleep while James has been on nights). So, I decided to combine this weeks Facebook Live and Make It Monday. I hope you don’t mind?!
I do a Facebook Live usually every other week, but I missed last week, so there will be another one this coming Sunday. So, do pop over and Like my Facebook Page so you can join me Live on Sunday morning at 11AM
Card 1:
This first card uses the fabulous Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. I love that you can make a whole heap of cards with this paper, and each one look different! That’s partly because they are fun painterly patterns, but also that you get 48 sheets of 6 x 6″ paper in the pack…. that’s a whole HEAP of cards! Because I wanted to keep the paper the focus here I’ve kept the rest of the card pretty simple, with a couple of die cuts from the Floral Frames bundle and a Stitched Circle, and a single stamped sentiment. However, you could really dress the card up with extra die cuts, embossing, and more layers!
Card 2:
The second card I shared yesterday was this one, using the Rooted in Nature stamp and die bundle. I can’t decide which version of this card is my favourite… this one or the one I made in the video? What do you think?
Card Measurements:
Card Base; Blackberry Bliss; 29.7 x 10.5 cm, Scored at 14.85 cm
Whisper White layer; 10 x 14.3 cm
Natures Poem Designer Series Paper: 9.5 x 9 cm and a second piece that measures 9.5 x 4.8 cm
Plus scraps of Blackberry Bliss and Whisper White
YouTube Replay…
Card 3:
The 3rd card uses my favourite Designer Series Paper of the moment; Petal Promenade, to make a fun spin on a classic Z fold card. This paper is just so pretty that I can’t help use big pieces of it! It does all the work, and leaves you with a simple task of adding a sentiment. Pretty card – Tick!
Card Measurements:
Card Base; Petal Pink: 21 x 14.85 cm, scored on the long edge at 10.5 and 3 cm
Designer Series Paper: 14.85 x 7.5 cm and 14.85 x 3 cm
Whisper White 14.85 x 7.5 cm, plus a scrap for stamping

StampinByHannah Love What You Do Divided Sweetie Box…
So, today I thought I would re-visit a project I shared on this very blog about 3 years ago! I cannot believe that I have been sharing with you here for over 4 years now, I LOVE reading all your comments but I would also love to see if you have made something inspired by something I have shared too. You can share your work with me over on my Facebook Page or, if you don’t want the world to see it, drop me an email! You never know, I might even pop something in the post to you as a Thank you!
For all I’m calling these Divided Sweetie Boxes they would also look super cute on your desk holding all those paper clips, elastic bands and other random desk junk (do other people have this… or is it just me?!). Both of these boxes actually use the same piece of Designer Series Paper from the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper Pack, don’t you love when you can’t decide which side of the paper you love more and have to make two of something just because?! Or is that just me as well!
Measurements:
Card stock for the box base: 6 x 6″ (15 x 15 cm)
Score on all 4 sides at 1″ (2.5 cm)
Designer Series Paper for the box lid: 5-9/16 x 5-9/16″ (14.3 x 14.3 cm)
Score on all 4 sides at 3/4″ (2 cm)
Card stock for dividers: 1 piece that measures 4 x 5-1/2″ (10 x 13.8 cm) and 2 pieces that measure 2 x 5-1/2″ (5 x 13.8 cm)
Score at 2″ (5 cm) on each end and then flip the card stock over and score again at 2-3/4″ (6.9 cm)
The most special part of these boxes for me is the Square cut out windows. In the original box I cut these by hand because I didn’t have a square die, but for this version I used the Layering Square Dies to cut the window and made the cute Crumb Cake frames too. These frames are really easy to make; first cut the straight edged square from a piece of card stock, then cut a scalloped square out around that one to create a frame. You can see exactly how I did this in the video tutorial above.
I would love to see your creations this weekend, I’ll be back tomorrow with a fun blog hop with the InspireINK team, hope to see you then!

StampinByHannah The Project Share Project Fun Card Ideas…
I am LOVING sharing the work of some of my favourite Stampin’ Sisters each week. This week I have a trio of fun card ideas. Each member of the Project Share Team has a totally different style, and they always blow me away with the ideas they come up with! One of our team challenges last weekend was to CASE (copy and selectively edit) a project… I’ll be sharing what I made over the weekend, but these girls definitely inspire me week after week!
How fun is this card from Sally! It uses the fabulous Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper that is currently by of the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Sale, but also those fabulous Frames Elements… don’t you just love how the stamping fits inside that frame! So pretty
Heidi has used one of the stamp sets that’s on my shopping list, but hasn’t quite fallen into my basket yet! My father-in-law has a Koi pond, and so this is a must have for me before his Birthday in December! Heidi has paired this beautiful fish with some of the In-Colour Designer Series Paper for a totally coordinated look!
And then I couldn’t pass sharing this card with you! Verity has used another one of the packs of Designer Series Paper from the sale; Nature’s Poem, to make this quick, but super effective Thinking of You card. Do click on the photos to check out the full details of each project!

Hello! Oh my goodness, I feel like these challenges are coming around awfully quickly at the moment! I’m sure it’s because we’ve changed how we organise them slightly, and so I only made my challenge card for challenge 22 last week… but nothing has changed for you so really that is completely irrelevant! I do hope you enjoy our challenges, do pop over to the Inspire.Create blog and see the other members of the Design Team’s creations!
This sketch totally lends itself to a card that uses big pieces of Designer Series Paper! I love this type of card as they come together really quickly but look fabulous too. My card for today features the Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper that is predominately designed for baby cards, and so that is what I have made today pairing it with the coordinating stamp set; Little Twinkle. However, this paper is full of generic patterns that I can see being put to a heap of uses plus it’s heavy on the Night of Navy too so it’s perfect for guy cards!
The hardest bit of this card was making sure the measurements were right. First I cut the piece of Whisper White as a mat for the Designer Series Paper, then I worked out how big each piece of Designer Series Paper needed to be based on that measurement.
Measurement:
Card base: Night of Navy; 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long side at 14.85 cm
Whisper White; 9.5 x 13.8 cm
4 pieces of Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper; 4.5 x 6.65 cm

StampinByHannah Floral Friend card with Petal Promenade
So, one of the pieces of the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper I have been dreading trying to cut is one that has 9 really beautiful floral frames. There I several reasons why this paper makes me nervous; they are usually sized for a US sized card base which isnt the same size as I use here in the UK, they are really really pretty and I don’t want to mess one up, and then there is the fear of just not having a clue what I am going to do with the frames once they are cut! But, I have started seeing other people make some really pretty cards with these frames. In fact I almost CASE’d THIS card from Patty Bennett to get me started, but I made this card instead.
Usually when I’m making a card using Designer Series Paper, I’ll go into the catalogue and look which Stampin’ Up! Colours are in featured, but not for this card. Instead I chose to look and see what colours my eye saw, and that turned into Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick and Shaded Spruce, none of which are officially in the paper but does that really matter?!
The frame cut from the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper is an awkward size for layering. To get around this I simply measured it carefully and then cut a piece of Grapefruit Grove card stock half a centimetre longer and wider before layering it onto a card base with a standard sized mat and actually it looks fine.
These frames are designed to fit the Stampin’ Up! note cards and envelopes, which they do perfectly, I just don’t use them very regularly in my crafting and as a result this particular piece of paper would usually get forgotten about!
Which of the Designer Series Paper packs are you struggling to cut?

With that said, I have a fabulous Petal Promenade card for you today, using the coordinating Beautiful Layers Thinlits
One of the things that this stamp and die bundle encourages you to do is play with die cuts and stamped layers, and that it totally what I have done here. The Beautiful Layers dies combine beautifully with the Stitched Shapes Squares for a really fun look, plus the colours from the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper just made for really pretty projects. I am little bit in love with this colour combination too…
The Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper pack is part of that fabulous Buy 3 Get 1 Free offer I mentioned at the top of this post. You have 10 fabulous packs of Designer Series Paper to choose from, and you can choose any combination of those 4 so that 4 different packs, or 4 of the same. Totally up to you!
This card is a quick, but complex looking build, with stamping on the Designer Series Paper, and a series of die cuts before a little more stamping and a trio of Basic Adhesive-Backed sequins to finish.
The tag is one of those elements that looks really tricky, but in reality is simple to do. There are two ways of making it; you could measure the width of the die and cut a piece of card stock accordingly before die cutting each end. Or you can follow my method; die cut the tag end from the middle of a sheet of scrap card stock, line up your layers and work out where the other end should be, then die cut the tag end again before snipping out the piece using Paper snips or a Stampin’ Trimmer
Either way you end up with this really lovely element for the front of your card, or what about just cutting one end and using it as a tag on your next gift?!

StampinByHannah Notebook Cover with Pen Loop using Tea Room Designer Series Paper…
Today’s project was inspired by my fabulous stampin’ buddy Angelina…. I am a bit of a stationary hoarder, and I need a little encouragement to actually use my notebooks, pens, sticky notes etc. sometimes! These notebooks have been hanging around in my office for a while, and I’ve covered a few in the past, but it’s time that they moved on and the best way to do that is to make them pretty and gift them to someone! So, who wants one?! I always sent notebooks and things to my team members… so who’s gonna be the next person to join my team and bag one?
These both use the Tea Room Speciality Designer Series Paper to add a little something to the front of the covers, and while one I have added the stamping directly onto the paper, the other has some extra layers and details. Both are designed to hold these pens, they were gifted to us at a Stampin’ Up! OnStage event… these fabulous events are Demonstrator only entry, but I wanted to let you know that the registration for the next one (held in Birmingham this coming November) will open in August, and while we have the fabulous Stampin’ Pad Family joining offer it would be a great time to come and join my team!
Measurements:
Card stock: 6-1/4 x 8-1/4″ (16 x 21 cm)
Score on the short side at 2-3/4 and 3″ (7 and 7.5 cm)
Designer Series Paper: 8 x 2-1/2″ (6.5 x 20.5 cm)
Card stock for the Pen Loop: 1-1/2 x 2-1/2″ (3.5 x 7 cm)
Score on the long side at 1/2, 1, 1-1/2 and 2″ (1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 cm)

StampinByHannah The Project Share Project More fun with Designer Series Paper…
So, with the Designer Series Paper sale still ongoing, I thought I would share some more of the fabulous things that my Stampin’ Sisters have been making with it!
My absolute favourite pack of Designer Series Paper at the moment is Petal Promenade, and I love how Heidi has combined it with some fun dies to create the stunning box for some Narrow Notecards… Click on the picture to see Heidi’s video tutorial too!
Amanda always makes lovely things with Designer Series Paper, and this card is no exception. The Natures’ Poem Designer Series Paper is designed to coordinate with the Rooted in Nature stamp set, but I love that Amanda is thinking outside of the box here where she has paired it with the lovely Stitched All Around Bundle instead!
Jill has used my second favourite pack of paper to create this fun card! I shared one using the same products on Monday, but man, don’t they look different! Click over to Jill’s blog to see her fabulous video tutorial!
