Designer Series Paper - StampinbyHannah

Be Mine…..

Before we get into the rest of the post I just want to remind you that today is the last day to book onto my February Technique Class if you plan on attending in person (you have until Friday if you are choosing the virtual option). You can see what we are making HERE

Right, Be mine!

I just love this stamp set – You Plus Me – so much in fact that it is my featured stamp set for February! Valentines here I come!

This card uses a piece of the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper stack too! By happy coincidence the stamp set and the paper feature a very similar heart shape. So I stamped the heart 5 times on a piece of Whisper White in Calypso Coral ink, and punched them out with the heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack. Now this heart doesn’t fit perfectly but, its close enough, it just leaves some of the inky bits behind!

The hearts are popped up on dimensionals, as is the sentiment – from the same stamp set, punched out with the Extra Large Oval. Seeing as this is a very dark card, black cardstock and black designer series paper, I stamped the sentiment in Stazon ink, the blackest black ink I own!

The card was missing something at this point, and I have to admit putting it to one side. But I very quickly pulled it back out and added a trio of jewels. Pefect!

Have you made any Valentines cards yet this year?

Salted Caramel Bag – Video Tutorial

I got this bag as part of a Christmas gift; it originally contained Salted Caramel (hence the title!), and I loved the shape so much I just had to recreate it.

I have to say now, that this bag is a little awkward, mainly due to some strange score lines, but I hope that the video will explain all.

I used the lovely Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper from the annual catalogue for this gift bag, with stamping using the Petal Potpourri and Something Wonderful (Sale-a-bration item!).

Measurements –

Cardstock = 12 x 11 1/2″ (30.5 x 29 cm)

Score on the long side at – 2 and 9″ (5 and 22.5 cm)

Score on the short side at – 2, 5 1/2, 7 1/2, 11″ (5, 14, 19, 28 cm)

Then turn the cardstock back so that the long side is at the top, with the 2″ (5 cm) score line on the left and score at 5″(12.5 cm) – but only between the narrow score lines.

The back on the short side score at 1″ and at 6 1/2″ (2.5 and 16.5 cm) but stop about 1″ about the 5″ score line (down 15 cm). At the end of these score lines, score triangles.

Stamped cardstock – 6 1/4 x 3″ (16.5 x 7.5 cm)

Layer – 6 1/2 x 3 1/4 (17 x 8 cm)

PS: Sorry I’m so snuffly in the video – I thought this cold had packed its bags and was leaving, but then it turned around and came back! *off to lie on the sofa!*

Its’s Challenge time again! – AW32

I do love a good challenge! And this challenge over at Around the World Stampin Challenges is particularly good!

I love using sketches when I’m scrapbooking, but using a sketch when I’m card-making isnt something I do much of! So, this really was a challenge for me.

I decided to use new products from the Spring/Summer catalogue (and a little something from Sale-a-bration!) for this card. I just love using my new stuff! Don’t you?

The card base is Pear Pizzazz, with a matt of that fabulous Irresistibly Yours Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration brochure. This paper is fabulous! When it arrives it just looks like 12 sheets of white 12×12 cardstock, but when you ink or mist it, it comes alive! The white paper has a glossy white pattern hidden on it, 6 different designs – dots, flowers, stripes, vines, stars and a sort of scaly pattern! So I grabbed for the dots here and sponged it in Pear Pizzazz Ink – I love that inky / blotchy look. It says “this card was handmade! with love and effort!”

The hearts punched using the Sweetheart punch, and the heart from Itty Bitty Accents. I stamped the new background stamp, Something Lacy, in Pink Pirouette, onto Very Vanilla cardstock before punching out the hearts and creating the sentiment banner. That sentiment by the way is another Sale-a-bration item!

I love the Sale-a-bration offerings this year. There is a great selection of stamps, papers, embellishments, Project Life cards, AND some blendabilities! all for FREE when you spend £45 with me and Stampin’ Up! between now and the 31st of March! Awesome!

Anyway, thanks for reading all my waffle today, and I hope you enjoyed the card!

Cute Cube Box Tutorial

Welcome to Tuesday’s at StampinByHannah!

I do hope to post 3D projects on a Tuesday, and as this is the first week of the (almost) new year, I thought I would start now!

This super cute box uses the Envelope Punch Board (available directly from me and Stampin’ Up!), and is a lovely little box with a separate lid.

This box took me a surprisingly long time to come up with (and a LOT of scrap paper!) but with the help of Craft Owl’s Box Buster I finally made it!

Measurements –

because the EPB works best in imperial I have only listed the imperial measurements

Base

– Cardstock – 6 1/2 x 6 1/2″

– punch and score at 1 7/8″ and again at 4 5/8″ and follow the score lines to punch and score on the other three sides

Lid

– Designer Series paper – 6 x 6″

– punch and score at 1 7/8″ and again at 4″ and follow the score lines to punch and score on the other three sides

I finished this box with some stamping from Something to Say, punched out with the Modern Label Punch, and the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack

12 Tags of Christmas – The Finale!

Welcome to the final tag in the 12 Tags of Christmas series! I hope to run this series again next Christmas, but lets wait and see!

This tag is definitely may favourite! Using a 2 x 6″ piece of Santa and Co DSP, complete with super cute snowmen!

After punching the Scallop Tag Topper (again) I kept this tag simple (as usual, I don’t do complex!) and finished the tag by adding some of the Frosted Sequins with some Crystal Effects glue.

And added some of white Bakers twine to to top.

Done!

Thanks for following my 12 Tags of Christmas.

See you again soon

12 Tags of Christmas – Presents for you!

Its week 11 on our tour of 12 Tags of Christmas! I have so enjoyed doing these posts, and will be sad to end, but…. there is a whole heap of super awesome things coming in the new year!!!

Our tag for today uses the Nordic Noel DSP, one piece for the 2×6″ tag and one where I have fussy cut the present images! Two of the 3 presents are popped up on dimensionals, super simple!

I totally missed off the top of this tag (oops!) but its punched with my favourite Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, and has some of the Lost Lagoon Silky Taffeta Ribbon.

See you again next week for the last tag in this series, Which one has been your favourite?

Chocolate Money Wallet

I love chocolate! I mean, there really is a reason why I am overweight, and right now, its Christmas and chocolate is everywhere! (I WILL loose weight in the new year – have to fit into that wedding dress! eeek!)

I found chocolate coins and notes in Tesco’s last week, and just had to make a project for them! There are loads of tutorials for chocolate coins, but the notes?! well, I’d never seen them before!

These are just so tiny!

The original uses the Trim the Tree DSP, but the one in front is the gorgeous All is Calm paper (so sad to see it leave us soon!), and its that Scalloped Tag Topper Punch again!

Measurements:

Cardstock = 6 x 3 1/2″ (9 x 15.5 cm) (the metric version is slightly bigger)

Score on the long side at: 1/2, 2 3/4, 3 1/4 and 5 1/2″ (1.5, 7, 8.2, 14 cm)

Score on the short side at: 1/2, 2 and 2 1/2″ (1.5, 5, 6.5 cm)

Before I go today, it just had to pop in a picture of the box I used to store these chocolate in (that was before they were all eaten of course!)

Its one of the lovely Takeout boxes, with a tag made from the Under the Tree tag a bag accessory kit!

Lovely!

Tiny Tealight Box

Hello!

Welcome to another little box post!

This time, I have created a teeny tiny box for two tealights (ikea ones), ready for your Christmas tables / party favours etc.

They are just so sweet!

Measurements:

Sorry the metric measurements are so exact, but its all down to the tealights 🙁

Cardstock = 6 1/2 x 4 1/2″ (thats one sheet of the dsp!) (11.4 x 16.5 cm)

Score on the long side at: 1 1/2, 3, 4 1/2, and 6″ (3.8, 7.6, 11.4 and 15.2 cm)

Score on the short side at: 1 1/2 and 3″ (3.8 and 7.6 cm)
