Stampin' Up! Mini Gable Boxes Video Tutorial

These cute boxes would be perfect for Wedding favours, or posh party bags! I’ve wrapped this one using the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper before adding a fun sentiment using All Things Thanks. I’ve kept this week’s video simple… because the past few weeks have been a little manic around here… I’ll update you on all the news very soon!

Check back next week for more fun videos and inspiration for me!

March Customer Thank You Cards featuring Eastern Beauty from Stampin’ Up!

Fun Dapper Denim Thank You Card using Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah March Customer Thank You Cards featuring Eastern Beauty from Stampin’ Up!

 

Last week I pulled all the Retiring List items off my stamp shelves, along with all the card stock, Designer Series Paper and other bits and bobs that are leaving us. However, they aren’t leaving my craft room just yet! While you can still get them, I’ll continue to share them with you.

This card features some Retiring card stock and Designer Series Paper, as well as some carry over goodies too!

How to make a simple thank you card with the Eastern Beauty Bundle from Stampin' Up!

So, which bits are Retiring? Well, the Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper will leave us at the end of May (although it might sell out before that!), along with the Dapper Denim card stock and ink. Dapper Denim is one of the 2016-2018 In-Colours that we are saying goodbye to this year. I have a fun project for Inspire.Create.Challenge tomorrow with some of the Retiring In-Colours… don’t forget to check back for that!

The Eastern Beauty Bundle is also retiring. However, the stamps and dies are in the new annual catalogue! What this means though, is that from the 1st June 2018 you’ll loose the 10% bundle discount! So, if you love these stamps and dies, I’d grab them before the end of May.

Eastern Beauty Customer Thank You cards using Stampin' Up! products

I LOVE sending cards out to my customers each month. I always send a card, sometimes they also get gifts and goodies too! This month my March customers received this card, along with my project from yesterday… and my Code Club Code users also got some super fun embellishments!

Make It Monday | Quick and Easy OnStage Swaps!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Using the Envelope punch board

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Quick and Easy OnStage Swaps!

Make It Monday

On Saturday I shared all the fabulous swaps that I received at Stampin’ Up! OnStage last weekend. Today I thought I would share the project I swapped… as well as the gift I sent my wonderful March customers!

Make It Monday How to make a cute envelope using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

These are super duper easy to pop together. Can you believe I made 48 of these in just 1 hour and 40 minutes! Partly because I used Wood Textures Designer Series Paper which comes in  6 x 6″… the exact right size for these cute envelopes! and partly because I kept things simple with punches and basic stamping!

This fun project uses the Envelope Punch Board. I LOVE this tool so much, it’s just SO handy! I use it all the time for custom sized envelopes for special occasion cards, as well as being super handy for a quick thinking of you type gift. It’s so easy to use too… as you can see in the video tutorial!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper: 6 x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)

Punch and score on each side at 3″ using the Envelope Punch Board

Make It Monday March Stampin' Up! Customer gifts with Colour Theory from Stampin' Up!

I was on so much of a roll with these that I kept going once I had finished my swaps, switching to the fun Colour Theory Designer Series Paper, to make my March Customer thank you gifts! I continued to use the same stamp set, Hedgehugs,  but changed the colours to the retiring Dapper Denim colour instead!

I’ll be sharing more the Stampin’ Up! Colour Revamp very soon!

James’ True Gentleman Birthday Card…

Fun birthday card using Truly Tailored and True Gentleman Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah James’ True Gentleman Birthday Card…

 

So, last week I shared THIS card for Inspire.Create.Challenges… well today I have the card that sparked that one!

This card was also inspired by a Global Design Project sketch challenge from a few weeks ago, and while I didn’t quite get to posting it for that challenge, I still wanted to share it with you.

How to make a classic Man's Birthday Card using True Gentleman from Stampin' Up!

So, the background of the Basket Weave Embossing Folder was a freebie during Sale-a-bration, but is coming back in this years Annual Catalogue! Yay! But it isn’t available right now 🙁

The True Gentleman Designer Series Paper is a fun mix of heaps of guy themed images and classic patterns, and it is perfect for guy cards. Each layer here has had it’s edges sponged with Crumb Cake ink to help to tie everything together for a fully cohesive look

Fun Masculine Birthday card using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

The ‘You’re a Fox’ stamp coordinates with the Tailored Tag punch… but I will admit that rather than buying it, I hand cut this one! It’s a nice simple shape… and I would rather spend my £££’s on stamps!

This card is finished with a length of Corduroy Night of Navy ribbon and a trio of True Gentleman Buttons

Thoughtful Thursday | New Home Card with Home Life from Stampin’ Up!

Congratulations on your new home card using Home Life from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday New Home Card with Home Life from Stampin’ Up!

Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday

This week sees the end of my Thoughtful Thursday series (for now!) as I have something super exciting starting next Thursday with some fabulous Stampin’ Friends. Don’t worry I will still be bringing you my monthly One Little Word updates… and I’m going to incorporate some of the content into Mondays and Fridays too!

How to make a bright and fun New Home card with Stampin' Up! Home Life Stamp and Die Bundle

I’ve had a HEAP of friends and family move house recently, and New Home cards have been in high demand. Luckily I have the fabulous Home Life Stamp and Die bundle from Stampin’ Up! to make them really easy. Bundles are a great way to save some £££’s… as you save 10% over buying the stamps and dies separately. I shared another fabulous New Home card a few weeks ago…

The colour inspiration was taken from the Colour Theory Designer Series Paper pack. This pack of paper is a fun selection of Berry Burst, Dapper Denim, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive, and it coordinates with those fun Glitter Enamel Dots too!

Fun New Home Card using Home life from Stampin' Up!

Stampin’ Up! is all about the coordinating products… it’s one of the many many reasons why I LOVE it! Stamps that match dies, that coordinate with fun Designer Series Paper, which use colours that we have in inks, and card stock, and ribbons and embellishments. Stampin’ Up! make making coordinated projects super easy!

Saying that… the 2018 Retiring list will be released on Monday, and I am 99% sure that most of the current Designer Series Papers will be on it. So if you like a pack, grab it sooner rather than later!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenges 015 – Quick and Easy Masculine Cards!

Inspire.Create.Challenges Masculine Challenge Card Making Papercraft

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a Theme… and it’s a Theme that I think a lot of us struggle with, cards for men! They are tricky to please, and they don’t want pink, or floral, or bows… and lets be honest, that’s a LOT of our crafting! However, Stampin’ Up! to the rescue again… with the True Gentleman suite!

How to make a fun Masculine Birthday Card using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

This card was inspired by another card I have made recently (that I’ll be sharing with you very soon!). I have been really enjoying making men’s card with the True Gentleman suite, the stamps and Designer Series Paper just tie together so perfectly… don’t you LOVE it when products do that, makes crafting so easy!

The card base is in Sahara Sand, and the first layer is a sheet of Night of Navy card stock embossed using the Hexagons Embossing Folder. You can find my standard card making measurements HERE!

Cool Man's card using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

There are 3 different pieces of Designer Series Paper at work here too… along with a circle of DIY Designer Series Paper (stamped using the Truly Tailored stamp set). The circles are all cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits, these dies are definitely at the top of my crafty MUST HAVE list, I use them SO often!

This card is finished with a trio of strips of Night of Navy Corduroy Ribbon.

I would LOVE to see you masculine creations, join in with us at Inspire.Create.Challenges!
