Inspire.Create.Challenge 026 Sketch Challenge using Stampin' up! products

I have told you all before how much I LOVE a sketch challenge… and I cannot wait to see what the rest of the Design Team do with this one! I have been pondering on it for a while; trying to work out what I was going to do with that Heart image… in the end I’ve chosen to change it to a circle and die cut it out.

How to make a fun Christmas Card using Merry Christmas to All from Stampin' Up! with StampinByHannah

I have been playing around with Designer Series Paper a fair bit recently, I made THIS card for my Brother in Law last week and used a piece of Designer Series Paper to cover the entire front of the card. I liked the effect so much I thought I would do the same here with this stunning Joyous Noel Designer Series Paper.

The Merry Christmas sentiment is taken from the new Merry Christmas To All Stamp and die bundle. How perfect is that glitter-y die cut?! To adhere it to the card, I added some Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Glimmer Paper before it was die cut, the adhered it over the top of the die cut circle. To stop it sticky were I didn’t want it to, I covered uncovered adhesive with powder from my Embossing Buddy.

The sentiment is completed with the Christmas heat embossed in White onto a scrap of Tranquil Tide card stock.

I was inspired by a swap I received from the lovely Jillian probably about a year ago. Jillian’s version was a little smaller and was perfect for holding a trio of tealights, but I wanted something a little bigger…

Measurements:

Card stock: 8-1/4 x 6″ (21 x 15 cm)

Score on the long side at 2, 4, 6, and 8″ (5, 10, 15 and 20 cm)

Best Route Birthday Card

Create a fun layered mans birthday card using Best Route from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Best Route Birthday Card

 

Today is my youngest Brother-in-Law’s birthday, he’s 17, and so cards aren’t really his thing… however, they are mine, and so he gets one anyway!

Create a fun layered mans birthday card using Best Route from Stampin' Up!

Cards for guys are always a little tricky, however, Stampin’ Up! have made it a whole lot easier with this Designer Series Paper. Best Route is a fun mix of bold colours and generic patterns, all with the hint of a travel theme…. perfect for your Road Trip Scrapbook Album, or some fun cards!

I thought I would have some fun with colour on this one… the entire front is Gray Granite Designer Series Paper while the card base itself is Mango Melody. Usually I made tent fold cards, but they don’t stand very well on my Mother-in-laws slippy furniture, so I went for a more traditional book fold style for this card.

Happy Birthday boys card using Best Route Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

The secret to a good guy card is simple details… Here I’ve created layers using different pieces of the Best Route Designer Series Paper, added a length of ribbon, the sentiment on a Stitched Circle die cut, a trio of sequins and a cute mini paperclip from the Share What You Love Embellishment kit to finish.

The stamping is taken from the Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set; a fun mix of birthday images and sentiments that work really well for guys birthdays.

Inside boys birthday card using Best Route from Stampin' Up!

I couldn’t not add something to the inside… so I mirrored the Designer Series Paper layers and added a second birthday sentiment in Blueberry Bushel.

Origami Pen Holder using Designer Series Paper

no glue pot covers using patterned paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Origami Pen Holder using Designer Series Paper

I’m been on a storage kick recently… with my Embellishment holders, Divided Boxes and Memories and More Storage! And today that continues, with these fun Pen Holders made from a single piece of Designer Series Paper and no glue! How cool!

I found these during a Pinterest trawl, when I found THIS blog post from Gathering Beauty.

no glue Designer Series Paper box using Stampin' Up! products

These are super easy to put together, particularly if you use a thinner paper like these ones from the Tea Room Speciality Designer Series Paper pack, or the Frosted Florals from the upcoming Autumn Winter Catalogue.

The ones I’m sharing today use US Letter sized paper, 8-1/2 x 11″ but you can totally use A4 sized paper too, you just get a different sized box at the end! If you use A4 you end up with a more rectangular box, rather than these which are square. Either way though they are going to look fab on your desk holding pens, or on your bed side table holding a tiny plant…. what else could you use these for?

Instructions:

  1. Lay your paper in front of you, with the long edge at the top. Fold the paper in half and open it out again.
  2. Fold in both sides to meet the centre fold, and open back out again.
  3. Next, fold the paper back in half along the centre line and ensure that the folded edge is on the right.
  4. Fold the bottom right corner up to meet the centre line, creating a triangle. Repeat on the top right corner
  5. Take the top layer of paper on the left side, and fold the bottom left corner to meet the centre line to make a triangle. Repeat on the top left.
  6. Then, fold the bottom two triangle up, creating a crease at the along the bottom of the triangles. Repeat this on the top triangles. Open back out and rotate so that your paper now looks like the shape of a house.
  7. Fold the bottom flap up, so that the triangle meet.
  8. Lift this new layer to reveal a pocket. Then, continue to pull to form the back and 2 sides of your box. You might need to re-enforce your creases here to help form your box.
  9. Position your box with the back facing you. There should be 3 squares facing away from you.
  10. Take the right hand square and bring the two scored lines together to form a triangle. Repeat on the left.
  11. Tuck these triangles into the triangular pockets on the sides of your box.

Make It Monday | Twisted Gate Fold Card using Garden Impressions from Stampin’ Up!

Pretty floral twisted gate fold video tutorial using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Twisted Gate Fold Card using Garden Impressions from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday banner

Do you have a list of projects you have to have a go at? I know I do… actually the notes section of my phone is full of project ideas, lists of videos to make, and creative musings! Today’s project is one that has been on that list for quite some time, but I think that it was worth the wait….

Make It Monday Twisted Gate Fold Card using Abstract Impressions from Stampin' Up!

I am loving this Designer Series Paper… its the Garden Impressions 6 x 6″ paper stack, which I will admit I really wasn’t taken with on first viewing, but I have used it SO much! I think I’m going to have to grab another pack soon! It coordinates with the Abstract Impressions Stamp and Die Bundle which includes a heap of really pretty sentiments and gorgeous flower stamps… and then there are the dies! Check out the images at the bottom of this post to see them in detail.

While I’m on a coordination kick, its also worth noting that the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper also coordinates with a whole HEAP of Stampin’ Up! colours: Calypso Coral, Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Petal Pink, Powder Pink, Shaded Spruce, Soft Seafoam, So Saffron and Whisper White! All of which are available in ink and card stock, for fully coordinating projects. AND there are ribbons, and embellishments available too! Isn’t that awesome?!

Measurements:

Card Base: Soft Seafoam Card Stock; 21 x 14.8 cm

Scored on the long side at 7 and 14 cm. Then, score the end panels from top right to bottom left.

Whisper White: 6.5 x 14.3 cm. Cut 3 pieces, cut one piece from top right to bottom left, and one from top left to bottom right.

Designer Series Paper: 6 x 13.8 cm. Cut 2 pieces, and cut one piece from top right to bottom left, and one from top left to bottom right.

Cutting the Designer Series Paper the right way is important… unless you want different patterns on the front and back of your card, then you could cut them both the same.

Little Twinkle Watercolour Anniversary Card

Watercolour Background Anniversary Card using Little Twinkle from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Little Twinkle Watercolour Anniversary Card

 

Last week I celebrated my 3rd Wedding Anniversary. I am a little shocked that it’s been 3 years already… but then when I think of all the things we’ve done since we got married, our wedding feels like forever ago! I will share the card I received over on my Facebook Page… James always sneaks into my crafty stash to make me a card (and this year he had fun with Embossing!)

Watercolour Valentines card using Little Twinkle from Stampin' Up!

Of course I HAD to make James a fun anniversary card! I had SO much fun making THIS card for Make It Monday last week, and so really wanted to re-create the idea for this card. The colours I’ve used are Night of Navy, Gray Granite, Coastal Cabana, and Berry Burst. I had intended to add some white ink splatter too…. not sure what happened!

I do have to admit that this card also uses a scrap! Yes!… an actual scrap. That circle of Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper is the of cut from THIS card. Nothing wasted!

The sentiment is stamped in Whisper White Craft Ink onto one of the Stitched Labels from the Blended Seasons Bundle cut from Vellum. So pretty!

Memories and More Desk Storage Box with Pen Holder

How to make a storage box for your Memories and More cards using Stampin' Up! card stock and Designer Series Paper

StampinByHannah Memories and More Desk Storage Box with Pen Holder

I’m on a bit of a storage making kick at the moment… I think it’s because I keep looking at furniture I can’t buy (yet!), and so making my own crafty storage is a reasonable alternative! I have told the story before about how I was led to card making from scrapbooking, but I don’t think I’ve ever said anything about how much I LOVE pocket scrapbooking! It’s just so quick, and you can whip up and album in just a few hours. My Wedding Album (still under development… and currently at the bottom of a large storage box, because you know; moving!) is mostly made up of Pockets, with some 12 x 12 pages thrown in!

Fun storage for Project Life or Memories and More Cards Video Tutorial

These are some of the new Memories and More cards too… so pretty! I am planning on using these to catch up with my One Little Word Album for 2018, which I am slightly (read: 4 months!) behind with.
