Make It Monday | Quick and Easy Thank you cards

Make It Monday

Hello! I feel like its been ages since I have filmed a proper Make It Monday! This weekend I have been filming and making like a crazy woman…. June is busy with James having a couple of weekends off, and a crafty retreat later in the month – meaning that I needed to get some serious work done ready!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Quick and Easy Thank You Cards using Oh So Eclectic and Fresh Florals From Stampin' Up!

This is my Thank You card for the wonderful ladies and gentlemen that shopped with me in May. They are super simple to stamp, as you can see from the video, they were quick to make! They use 3 of the 5 new In-Colours; Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist and Powder Pink. The stamp set is Oh So Ecletic…. which I have had for a couple of months but never managed to get inky! I know, it’s shocking, but I was waiting for the matching thinlits dies! Oh, well, they arrive this week so expect to see many many more cards with this stamp set really soon!

Measurements:

Card Base – 10.5 x 29.7 cm (half a sheet of A4) scored on the long side at 14.85 cm

Designer Series Paper – 14.8 x 3 cm

Fresh Fig Card stock – 14.8 x 1 cm

The Designer Series Paper I have used here is from the In-Colour Designer Series Paper Stack; Fresh Florals. I am in LOVE with this paper, but I do want you to know that there it does have a ‘watercolour wash’ effect and the more solid papers don’t appear as solid colours… there has been much debate about this paper among demonstrators over the last month, I am totally in love with it, I love the watercolour effect and when you cut the paper up the effect becomes much more subtle.

I hope you love this card as much as I do, and if you have ordered from me during May you’re cards are hitting the post office today, so watch out for them arriving later in the week.

In Colour Week | Tranquil Tide

Stampin' Up! 2017 In Colour Tranquil Tide Happy Birthday Card using Fresh Florals and Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Have you had chance to check out the new Annual Catalogue yet? If not, click the link in the side bar to see it.

Tranquil Tide is the last new In-Colour… its a beautiful deep teal colour, a colour like no other in our colour collection. It pairs beautifully with Emerald Envy, and works really well with pinks and purple tones.

Stampin' Up! 2017 In Colour Tranquil Tide Happy Birthday Card using Fresh Florals and Happy Birthday Gorgeous

This fun card was inspired by a card I spotted on Instagram a few weeks ago, and was borne from the idea of dry embossing Vellum. The vellum on this card was embossed with the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, and is a super soft layer over the fabulous Fresh Floral Designer Series Paper.

What has been your favourite card from this week?

Eastern Palace | Gold Foil Surprizes

Eastern Palace Suite Gold Foiled Card using Stampin' Up! products

One of my favourite things about the Eastern Palace suite is the Gold Foiling. I do love a bit of Gold!

The Designer Series Paper has two sheets of Gold Foiled paper, and what is lovely that they are single sided so you don’t have to choose. The other colours in the DSP include 3 of the 5 new In Colours (check out yesterday’s VIDEO to see them all), Tranquil Tide, Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist… and one of the In Colours from the 2016-2018 collection; Dapper Denim.

Eastern Palace Suite Gold Foiled Card using Stampin' Up! products

This card uses Dapper Demin and Tranquil Tide along with the Gold Foiling and a hint of Whisper White. I am sure that this is a CASE of a card by Kylie Bertucci…. but I’ve been through her blog and can’t find it! I can see this card being stepped up further with some ribbon or bakers twine… and a few Rhinestone Jewels too.

During the mouth of May, the Eastern Palace Suite is available in two fabulous Bundles:

Both of which include FREE products! as well as those 3 new In Colours….

oh, before I go for today… I am starting to plan my Mailing List for the new Annual Catalogue. To get your FREE copy just complete the form below.

Eastern Palace Suite | Hello

Cute Hello card using Eastern Beauty from Stampin' Up!

Like I mentioned yesterday, I have a whole week of projects this week featuring the Eastern Palace suite and exclusive bundles. You can find out more about these fabulous products HERE

Eastern Palace Bundle card kit from Stampin' Up!

I could not resist cutting that fabulous medallion / doily and backing it with Gold Glimmer paper! This card uses the brand new In Colour; Tranquil Tide… I have a whole video of In Colour goodness tomorrow… but for now just know that they are all stunning!

There are a heap of different combinations of these dies, giving you an endless variety of different medallions and doilies, flowers and decorative pieces. Some of the dies only cut the inside of the shape, while others cut the outside. To create this medallion, you also need the Layering Circle Framelits, because the largest of the dies used to create it only cuts the inside. I am seeing a version with a scalloped edge, and another in Glimmer paper…. might have to get back to the craft desk to make some more!

Cute Hello card using Eastern Beauty from Stampin' Up!

This card also uses a piece of the beautiful Eastern Palace Speciality Designer Series Paper. This paper features peacock inspired patterns and includes two pieces of Gold Foiled paper (hence the inspiration for the Gold on this card), and I have another card using even more Gold later in the week.

You can grab the Eastern Palace bundles over on my Webstore, or drop me a message to place your order. Don’t forget to use the Code Club Code for some exciting free goodies!

3D Friday | Tealight Box Revisited!

3D Friday Video Tutorial Pootles Inspired Tealight box using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

When I first started by my Blog and YouTube channel I created a cute little box for some tealights… and while the video wasn’t great and the photos were… hmmm, lets not go there! I LOVED it! So, now that my skills have vastly improved, I thought I would revisit this project from 3 years ago, altering the measurements a little for some slightly bigger tea lights!

3D Friday Video Tutorial Pootles Inspired Tealight box using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

As I mentioned yesterday I have cleared most of my craft room of things that have retiring, or are retiring… however every now and again I might reach into the box of goodies we are saying goodbye to… which I have done with one of these boxes. I filmed this video tutorial a few weeks ago, and it is impossible to predict how quickly something might sell out, and the Designer Series Paper (Blooms and Bliss) on the blue box is limited stock! Grab it now before it goes, it’s so pretty!

Measurements:

Card stock – 5 3/4 x 6 1/4″ (14.5 x 15.5 cm)

Score on the short side at – 1, 2 5/8, 3 5/8, and 5 1/4″ (2.5, 6.5, 9 and 13 cm)

Score on the long side at – 1/2, 1 1/2, 4 3/4 and 5 3/4″ (1, 3.5, 12 and 14.5 cm)

3D Friday Video Tutorial Candle box featuring Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

The second box, made on video, uses the Jar of Love stamp set to create a fun background in Rich Razzleberry.

Make It Monday | Faux Shadow Embossing Technique

Make It Monday Video Tutorial creating a fun thank you card using the faux shadow embossing technique with Thankful Thoughts and Playful Backgrounds from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Hello! Welcome to another Make It Monday here at StampinByHannah! I have a great card project for you this week, along with a quick, simple and fun technique using heat embossing!

I found this card on Jennifer McGuires Blog a few weeks ago, and thought it looked simple enough! So I had a go….

Make It Monday Video Tutorial creating a fun thank you card using the faux shadow embossing technique with Thankful Thoughts and Playful Backgrounds from Stampin' Up!

The background on this card was almost a piece of Designer Series Paper… but with the Retiring List, lots of papers have already sold out and I didn’t want to share something you might not be able to get! So, instead I created by own DSP using the Playful Backgrounds stamp set, stamped in Emerald Envy and Early Espresso.

The sentiment is the main focus of this card. To create the Faux Shadow effect the sentiment is first stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with clear powder. Then, and this is where a stamp positioning tool like the Stamp-a-ma-jig is super helpful, you stamp again but offset it slightly, heat emboss again in a colour…. and as if by magic it looks super dimensional! Awesome!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial creating a fun thank you card using the faux shadow embossing technique with Thankful Thoughts and Playful Backgrounds from Stampin' Up!

The Sentiment is also on a die cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies (I LOVE these!) to give it a little extra something!
I hope you love my card project today, don’t forget to check out the video for more details about the technique.

3D Friday | Green and Blacks Mini Chocolate Gift Bags

I have made several confessions to you, my lovely blog readers, over the past few months…. I can’t remember if I have said this one before…. I am a chocoholic! I LOVE anything chocolate, or chocolate flavoured, or really any form of chocolate really. And that is why today’s tutorial is a bit of a miracle…. chocolate has survived in my craft room long enough for me to make a cute project using it! (actually I have more than one, keep you posted on those soon!)

3D Friday Video Tutorial Mini Chocolate Gift Bags using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

I love this paper (not quite as much as I love chocolate… but almost!) but it has sadly already sold out! Seriously, if you haven’t checked the retiring list yet you really need to before those stamps you’ve had your eye on for a couple of months disappear! This paper, this very pretty paper will be back though…. check the video for a sneaky peak!

Measurements:

Designer Series paper – 4 x 4″ (10 x 10 cm)

Score on the 1st side at – 1/2, 1 3/4, 2 1/4 and 3 1/2″ (1.2, 4.5, 5.7 and 9 cm)

Score on the 2nd side at – 1/2″ (1.2 cm)

3D Friday Video Tutorial Mini Chocolate Gift Bags using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

Right, that all for today, but do check back again tomorrow for my favourite Saturday of the month!
