Notebook Cover with Pen Loop using Tea Room Designer Series Paper…

Jotter sized note book cover with pen loop DIY using Stampin' Up! products

StampinByHannah Notebook Cover with Pen Loop using Tea Room Designer Series Paper…

Today’s project was inspired by my fabulous stampin’ buddy Angelina…. I am a bit of a stationary hoarder, and I need a little encouragement to actually use my notebooks, pens, sticky notes etc. sometimes! These notebooks have been hanging around in my office for a while, and I’ve covered a few in the past, but it’s time that they moved on and the best way to do that is to make them pretty and gift them to someone! So, who wants one?! I always sent notebooks and things to my team members… so who’s gonna be the next person to join my team and bag one?

How to apply a cover to a jotter pad using Tea Room Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

These both use the Tea Room Speciality Designer Series Paper to add a little something to the front of the covers, and while one I have added the stamping directly onto the paper, the other has some extra layers and details. Both are designed to hold these pens, they were gifted to us at a Stampin’ Up! OnStage event… these fabulous events are Demonstrator only entry, but I wanted to let you know that the registration for the next one (held in Birmingham this coming November) will open in August, and while we have the fabulous Stampin’ Pad Family joining offer it would be a great time to come and join my team!

StampinByHannah The Project Share Project More fun with Designer Series Paper…

project share project banner

So, with the Designer Series Paper sale still ongoing, I thought I would share some more of the fabulous things that my Stampin’ Sisters have been making with it!

Heidi Smith

My absolute favourite pack of Designer Series Paper at the moment is Petal Promenade, and I love how Heidi has combined it with some fun dies to create the stunning box for some Narrow Notecards… Click on the picture to see Heidi’s video tutorial too!

Amanda Charlesworth

Amanda always makes lovely things with Designer Series Paper, and this card is no exception. The Natures’ Poem Designer Series Paper is designed to coordinate with the Rooted in Nature stamp set, but I love that Amanda is thinking outside of the box here where she has paired it with the lovely Stitched All Around Bundle instead!

Fun with Floral Frames from Stampin’ Up!

Fun with the Floral Frames stamp set from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Fun with Floral Frames from Stampin’ Up!

 

I have two cards for you today… one now and one a little later for a fun blog hop with the ladies from the Go for Greece group. Both cards however, use the same stamp set! Floral Frames. I was super lucky to receive this stamp and die bundle as a team gift a few weeks ago, and I’ve only just got around to getting it inky! But, it’s so pretty, I know that these wont be the only cards that get made with it!

Fabulous Floral Best Wishes card using Garden Impressions and Floral Frames from Stampin' Up!

The Floral Frames stamp set comes as part of a fabulous bundle with the Foliage Frames Framelits (say that 3 times fast!)… bundles are great! Not only can you be completely sure that your stamps and dies work together for coordinated projects and reduce the need for fussy cutting, but also, they save you 10% rather than buying the stamps and dies separately. The stamps also pair beautifully with several of the new packs of Designer Series Paper. Here, I’ve used the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper…. but I think that this would look lovely using the Petal Promenade paper too. Both packs are, of course, currently in the Stampin’ Up! Buy 3 Get 1 Free Designer Series Paper sale too!

Best wishes card using Floral Frames from Stampin' Up!

The colours here are Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam. The leaf stamp behind the label is so cute, and I have a fun tip for you…

Top Tip…

To ensure I stamped them in the right place, I placed the label where I wanted it and drew around it with a pencil. Then, stamped the leaves, waited for the ink to dry (which really doesn’t take very long) and used a white eraser to remove the pencil marks.

I reached into my Embellishment storage to finish this card, and grabbed a trio of these Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots.

Make It Monday | Making a card using the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper

Pretty butterfly thank you card with lots of lovely sequins using the Abstract Impressions Bundle from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Making a card using the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper

Make It Monday banner

Hello! This week’s Make It Monday is a super sparkly Thank You card… that I would LOVE to send out to someone! I have a mountain of cards in my craft room and I am starting to sort them into donation piles for charities, as well as family and friends (back to sorting and organising… one day with might sell this flat and I don’t want to have to move them all to be honest!). One of the ways I am looking at thinning out my made projects pile is to gift them to my wonderful customers! So, if you place an order with me this week, you might well just find this card in your customer thank you pack at the end of the month!

Fabulous sparkly butterfly thank you card using Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

I am totally loving the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. It’s a pretty mix of painterly flowers and brush strokes with a fantastic colour palette! I can certainly see a full class coming with this suite, just so many cards I just HAVE to make! The Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper is currently available as part of the Stampin’ Up! Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Designer Series Paper sale too… Awesome!

Video Tutorial…

I use pretty standard measurements on most of my cards, and you can find those HERE!

There are lots of sparkles on this card… not only is that fabulous butterfly from the Springtime Impressions dies cut from a piece of Silver Glimmer Paper, but I have also added a handful of sequins too! There are several different packs of sequins in the Annual catalogue this year… 2 sequin assortments; iridescent (which I have used here) and metallics, and then there are the Basic Adhesive-Backed sequins too which are great if your a little heavy handed with the liquid glue (which might just be me!)

How to make a pretty sparkly thank you card using the butterfly die from Springtime Impressions from Stampin' Up!

I have a bit of a thing at the moment for a hand cut sentiment, it just adds a hint of the hand-made. Here the sentiment is heat embossed in White Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto a piece of Basic Black card stock, just for a little extra POP! Then, to finish there is a spritz of Night of Navy (because I have spritzed a card for ages!) and a few loops of Silver Metallic Thread too!

Which is your favourite Designer Series Paper at the moment?

StampinByHannah Pretty Vintage Card using Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

 

Hello! Yes, a blog post on a Saturday… and a video too! A little while ago the lovely Janice Thomson from the team suggested that we do a video hop again (we did one around this time last year, and it was SO much fun….) and with the current Designer Series Paper special, the time seemed right to do it in July!

Check out my video below, but be sure to check out the other videos too… you can find them all on my YouTube channel in the Playlist section How to use Designer Series Paper on a card using Petal Promenade from Stampin' Up!

I am totally in LOVE with the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper… I actually used it on a gift bag yesterday too! This pack of patterned paper is a beautiful mix of photo-real florals and very pretty marble effects…. and while it’s not my usual style I am totally obsessed and will certainly be using the Buy 3 Get 1 FREE Designer Series Paper Sale to stock up on some more!

My other favourite part of this card is that Die cut Mossy Meadow doily! Oh my goodness it’s pretty, and just about the perfect accent piece for every. single. card. I will probably ever make! I have heaps of inspiration coming to you using this paper and the Beautiful Promenade Bundle during July as I have chosen it for my Suite of the Month… more coming about that on Monday!

Pretty Vintage Floral card using Beautiful Promenade from Stampin' Up!

Before I let you go and check out everyone else’s fabulous videos… I do just want to let you know that I have a Facebook Live planned for Sunday… over on my StampinByHannah Facebook Page at 11AM… I look forward to seeing you then!
