Thoughtful Thursday | OnStage Team Gifts…

Stampin' Up! Onstage Team Gifts using Delightful Daisy from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday OnStage Team Gifts…

Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday

Thoughtful Thursday is the day of the week when I share things that I have sent, that have made me happy, or have formed part of my Mindfulness practice this week.

This week’s Thoughtful Thursday project is 3 cute little gifts I took with me to Stampin’ Up! OnStage a fortnight ago. Usually I go all out and make 50+ swaps; a set of similar projects that are swapped with other demonstrators for ideas and inspiration. However, this last few months have been pretty busy, and I just didn’t get chance to make anything (although my friend Angelina from Intatwyne Designs did remind me when I got there that I had made a heap of swaps for April’s event that I hadn’t used…… which I had completely forgotten about and STILL haven’t found!).

Stampin' Up! OnStage Sour Cream Team Gifts handcream Just for you Thoughtful Thursday using Stampin' Up! products

I bought some handcream mini’s for my team leader and 2 of my team mates. I am super privileged to be a part of a wonderfully supportive team, but 2 of the girls are just always there. We cheer each other on, share our bad days, and generally have a right laugh! So, to say thanks for putting up with me…. I wanted to give them a little something.

These were super simple to put together, they are a pretty classic Sour Cream Style pocket. I have made these before, and have a video tutorial on them too!

Designer Series Paper: 4 1/2 x 5″

The daisy’s on the front of these was made using the fabulous Daisy Punch. They both use two daisy’s one in Whisper White, sponged with Night of Navy ink, and one punched in Night of Navy sponged with White ink.

Each gift had a tag on, using the Everyday Label punch and Merry Little Labels stamp set.

Make It Monday | Explosion Bag Video Tutorial using Foil Frenzy from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Explosion Bag using Foil Frenzy from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Explosion Bag Video Tutorial using Foil Frenzy from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday

Welcome to this week’s Make It Monday! I spotted this project MONTHS ago on Pinterest and just HAD to have a go at making one myself! These cute bags are super easy to do, with just a single sheet of 6 x 6″ card stock or Designer Series Paper and no cutting! Awesome!

Make It Monday How to make a no cut no stick bag using patterned paper

Aren’t they cute?!

Before I explain how to make these, I do have to add about this Designer Series Paper. It. Is. Stunning! Beautiful Foiled kraft heavy weight paper, that coordinated with Stampin’ Up! colours. Yes Please! Foil Frenzy Designer Series Paper is counted in a Speciality DSP, because of the foiling, but it is also thicker which makes it perfect for this project. I am sure that you could use standard weight Designer Series Paper too, but this paper holds a shape beautifully!

Measurements:

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

Score at 2 and 4″ (5 and 10 cm) on the 1st side, rotate by 90 degrees and repeat

This will have created a sort of grid, diagonally score the squares in the corners of your Designer Series Paper from the corner of the paper to the point with the horizontal and vertical score lines cross. Repeat on all 4 corners

Mark the halfway point on two of the sides (opposite each other) and use this to create two scored triangles in the side centre squares

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Explosion Bag using Foil Frenzy from Stampin' Up!

These bags are held closed with a circle die cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelits, and a couple of Neodymium magnets (worth a search on eBay if you don’t have some in your crafty stash! I think mine were only a couple of pounds with postage). The magnets are simply held in place with a glue dot and work really well to hold the bag closed, but you could use a hook and eye dot (not saying the brand name!) or piece a couple of holes and use some pretty ribbon.

Christmas Countdown | Cutlery Wraps using Merry Little Christmas

Christmas Countdown Super Sized Treat Pockets Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown Cutlery Wraps using Merry Little ChristmasChristmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

I have been seeing this project all over Pinterest… but as a dinky treat holder, so today I am super-sizing it and making a fun Cutlery Wrap for you Christmas table!

Christmas Countdown Super Sized Treat Pockets Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

These are a little extravagant… they use a WHOLE sheet of 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper, but I think they are so worth it. Particularly with this pack of DSP, this is Merry Little Christmas, the perfect mix of festive prints and generic patterns in Old Olive, Basic Black and Whisper White. It is certainly one of my Christmas Top Picks this year! I love it!

The wraps are super simple to put together and you could do 6 or 8 for your Christmas table in minutes. When I was talking to James about these he suggested adding some tissue paper for some extra dimension which would totally finish these off! I’m seeing maybe gold or silver napkins in these….

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 12 x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm0

Fold in half, diagonally, corner to corner

Then, with the folded, flat edge facing you, take on of the corners and fold it across. Creating a second flat edge, about halfway up your triangle. Fold the second corner over to match.

These don’t require any adhesive, as you then fold the top layer of the top of the triangle down, which holds the other two folds in place

(I think I probably explain this better in the video!)

Christmas Countdown Super Sized Treat Pockets Video Tutorial using Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

These wraps are finished with a touch of stamping using Merry Little Labels and some die cutting with my favourite combination; Stitched Shapes Framelits and the Layering Circles.

What are you planning for your Christmas table this year?

Thoughtful Thursday | Fresh Floral Birthday Card

Thoughtful Thursday Fresh Floral Designer Series Paper Birthday Card for my Sister in Law using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday Fresh Floral Birthday Card
Stampin' Up! UK Independent Demonstrator StampinByHannah Thoughtful Thursday

Oh I do love a good theme-d series here at StampinByHannah! This week sees the start of something I have been working on for AGES! Thoughtful Thursday!

Now… I will be using these Thursday blog post to share the cards I make for specific people, including birthday cards, thinking of you cards, and card just because. I LOVE sending an unexpected card, they are just so much fun!

Happy Birthday Gorgeous Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Birthday Card using Stampin' Up! Products

So today’s card might not be the most unexpected card ever… but it is the first birthday card I have made for this person! My Brother’s fiancee, Rebecca. It was her birthday last weekend, and I’m not sure she even knows that I write this blog so it is definitely safe to share it here today!

This card is also a second take on the Inspire.Create.Challenges sketch challenge for this week (You should TOTALLY check out what the Design Team has made this week, they are Awesome!)

Thoughtful Thursday Fresh Floral Designer Series Paper Birthday Card for my Sister in Law using Stampin' Up! products

I am ever so slightly obsessed with this Designer Series Paper for fabulous Birthday cards at the moment. I made a card for my Sister-In-Law, Bella’s 18th Birthday using it last week! It is the Fresh Floral’s Designer Series Paper Stack… a classic mix of floral patterns, perfect for birthdays (or any occasion) all in this years In-Colours. This stack is bigger than the standard Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper packs, but it is well worth it, I use it all the time!

The Happy Birthday Thinlit is totally the star of this show though. Die cut 3 times, twice in Fresh Fig and once in the Beautiful Champagne Foil and stacked for extra dimension. It makes for a great centre-piece on your Birthday projects. I always apply the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets the back of my card stock before I die cut this die, it just makes it SO much easier to stick together!

Inside a Fresh Florals Birthday card

I couldn’t leave the inside of this card plain. So I added a sheet of Whisper White card stock, with strip of that Fresh Floral’s Designer Series Paper and a splatter of Fresh Fig ink too.

I hope Rebecca LOVED this card as much as I do….

Inspire.Create.Challenges #005 | Season’s Greetings

Inspire.Create.Challenges Sketch Challenge using Year of Cheer from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenges #005 | Season’s Greetings

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is my personal favourite, we are using a Sketch this week! I LOVE a sketch, partly because I LOVE moving all the elements around and making something that looks nothing like the sketch at all, and partly because I love seeing what other people do with them!

I haven’t altered the sketch very much this week because I needed a quick card because I was away at Stampin’ Up! OnStage last weekend time hasn’t been my friend.

Inspire Create Challenges Stampin' Up! sketch challenge

As the challenge coordinator for Inspire.Create.Challenges I have been aiming to keep our sketches nice and simple. One so that it’s not a lot of work for the AWESOME Design Team, but also to make sure they aren’t too complex for a new card maker to follow along with. I LOVE this sketch, you guys know how much I use my circle dies… and this sketch just gave me another excuse to get them out (not that I needed one!)

Silver Christmas Card for Inspire.Create.Challenges using Year of Cheer from Stampin' Up!

This card uses the lovely Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper (Can you tell I’m in love with this a bit at the moment, it was on my Christmas Countdown project last week too!). The paper does come in Whisper White, with Metallic foiling (Yum!), but I have added colour here with a Sponge Brayer. So, I had intended for the added colour to be Smoky Slate to match the card base, but apparently my Sponger Brayer wasn’t quite as clean as I thought I was! I made 8 of these, and some of them have more than a hint of Tranquil Tide about them!

Measurements:

Card Base – Smoky Slate – 21 x 14.85 cm, scored on the long edge at 10.5 cm

Whisper White Layer – 14.3 x 10 cm

Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 4.7 cm

Inspire.Create.Challenges Sketch Challenge using Year of Cheer from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment circle is taken from the Cheers to the Year stamp set. I decided to embrace the Tranquil Tide and go with some stamping and card stock in the same colour, while the sentiment picks up on the hint of metallic from the Designer Series Paper and is Heat Embossed in Gold.

I thought that was going to be the card finished, but it just looked a little bare. So, I hit my ribbon draw and came up with this really pretty 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon in Whisper White for some cute bows.

I cannot wait to see what you make with this sketch! Don’t forget to join in over at Inspire.Create.Challenges.

Global Design Project 113 | Colour Challenge

Global Design Project Merry Christmas Card using Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Global Design Project 113 Colour Challenge

I have NO idea what has happened this morning, I wrote a blog post, I published it, and then it magically disappeared! I have no idea what happened, other than the fact that when I went to copy the link the post was gone! I know that you will already have had this post in your email inboxes….and I am sorry for it appearing again.

I LOVE this colour combination from the Global Design Project this week. It screamed Christmas at me and so a Christmas card is what I made!

Global Design Project Colour Combination

I have a bit of a thing at the moment for colouring Designer Series Paper, and I have recently pulled out all of the Designer Series Paper from the Autumn / Winter catalogue and put it on my desk so it gets used before it retires! So the top piece of paper was this fabulous pattern from Merry Little Christmas, and I took my Sponge Brayer to it with some Pear Pizzazz to create a fun ombre effect.

Merry Christmas Card using Patterned Paper and Die Cuts from Stampin' Up!

The die cuts are from Pretty Pines, and are die cut in the colours from the challenge. They are adhered to the card front with Fine-Tip Glue. I actually made this card twice (ironic seeing as I have had to blog it twice too!) as I wasn’t happy with the first sentiment. This version has the sentiment from Snowflake Sentiments stamped in Cherry Cobbler and punched with the Everyday Label punch, while the first one was in Pool Party.

Global Design Project Merry Christmas Card using Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

The card is finished with a few loops of Silver Metallic Thread and a scattering of Cherry Cobbler and Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes.

StampinByHannah Make It Monday | Cute Coffee Break…

These use the GORGEOUS Coffee Break Designer Series Paper… I grabbed this as part of the recent Designer Series Paper sale, and now I know that I NEED to get the stamp set too! I mean… self confessed coffee addict over here and I don’t have a coffee themed stamp set?! Something wrong there I think!

Measurements:

Coffee Break Designer Series Paper – 5 x 4-1/2″ (12.5 x 11 cm)

Score on the SHORT side at 2 and 4″ (5 and 10 cm)

This Designer Series Paper actually matches some of the dies in the coordinating die set, Coffee Cups Framelits. However, I fussy cut these cups myself.

The stamp is taken from Merry Little Labels (seriously, cannot get enough of this set!) and punched out with the Everyday Label punch.

Christmas Countdown | Year of Cheer Christmas Card Set

Christmas Countdown Simple Year of Cheer Christmas Card set using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Christmas Countdown | Year of Cheer Christmas Card Set

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Welcome to this weeks Christmas Countdown … I am usually super organised when it comes to my blog, but this past few weeks things have gone a little awry and so I only managed to get this video filmed on Wednesday! Saying this though, I absolutely LOVE this project and cannot wait for you to see it!

How to make a set of Christmas Cards for a Craft Fair using Year of Cheer from Stampin' Up!

One of the most easily missed products in this years Stampin’ Up! Autumn Winter catalogues is the Acetate Card Boxes! I LOVE these! They are great not only for packaging a set of cute Christmas cards, but I have seen them used to pack tealights, chocolates and many other sweet treats. I have made a set of simple Christmas Cards for you today, but I know that you could dress these up further and still get them into the box.

Christmas Countdown Simple Year of Cheer Christmas Card set using Stampin' Up! products

I kept the cards in this card set simple…. partly because that Designer Series Paper does ALL the work, and partly to keep the video to a reasonable length.

Card Measurements:

Card base – Crumb Cake – 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long edge at 14.85 cm

Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper – 14.3 x 10 cm

Crumb Cake card stock – 7.5 x 7.5 cm

Whisper White card stock – 7 x 7 cm

I have made this card set 3 times now…. the first at a team training event a few months ago. I shared a quick peak at that version in the video, it uses Painted Harvest (which we know is one my all time favourites). The second version uses another firm favourite, Santa’s Suit.

Christmas Countdown How to make a set of Christmas Cards using Santa's Suit from Stampin' Up!

I have to say this one took the longest, thanks to die cutting Santa! But it was definitely worth it… Saying that, now I look at the photo, I realise that Santa has no hands! Might make it a little difficult to check that nice / naughty list this year!

Wrap Measurements:

Crumb Cake card stock – 29.7 x 8.5 cm

Whisper White card stock – 29.7 x 8 cm

Christmas Countdown Christmas Card Set using Santas Suite from Stampin' Up!

This version uses the Merry Music Designer Series Paper for a slightly alternative Christmas colour combination.

Hello! So, last week I shared my calorie-free advent calendar… well, today I have another…. but this time with calories! lots and lots of calories!

We have a bit of a Christmas tradition in our house, where I make my husband and advent calendar. I have made one each year for the past 4 years…. and I hope that I can continue in years to come. Each year I make something a little different from the year previous, and this year is no different.
