This first card uses the wonderful Dashing Along FREE Designer Series Paper. You can find out how to get your hands on it HERE.

Measurements:

Card Base; Cherry Cobber: 10.5 x 29.7 cm, scored on the long edge at 14.85 cm

2nd Card Base; Shaded Spruce; 10 x 28.6 cm, scored on the long edge at 14.3 and 7.1 cm

Designer Series Paper: 1 piece – 9.5 x 13.8 cm, 2 pieces – 9.5 x 6.6 cm

The other two cards use the Natures Poem and Petal Promenade suites. You can find links to all the products I’ve used at bottom of this post.

Make It Monday | Stitched Around All Pocket Card

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to make a Pocket Card using Stitched All Around from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Stitched Around All Pocket Card

Today’s project is a fun one… we all send cards all the time, but why does a card have to be card stock folded in half?! I think today’s project would make a super cute invitation, or a fun ‘just because’ card, or a great way to dress up a gift card!

Firstly, lets just talk about those colours! Oh my goodness I am in LOVE with this colour combination: Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape and Petal Pink. One of the best things about Stampin’ Up! products is the coordination. The Card stock is the same colour as the Ink, is the same colour as the Embellishments, is the same colour as the ribbon, Designer Series Paper and more! I would LOVE you to try Stampin’ Up! inks…. we have SO many fabulous colours. You can check them all out HERE

This is simple project…. really it’s just an envelope with a fun insert! But there are SO many ways to dress this up… I would LOVE to see your versions! Share them with me over on my Facebook Group!

Measurements:

Card stock: 7-7/8x 7-7/8″

Punch and score using the Envelope Punch Board at 3-3/8″

Insert:

Gorgeous Grape: 4 x 5-1/2″

Whisper White: 3-3/4 x 5-1/4″

Belly Band:

Petal Pink: 1-1/2 x 11″

My other love at the moment is the fabulous Stitched All Around Bundle! That label die is finding it’s way onto a heap of projects at the moment. Did you see my Notecards and Envelopes Project last week… it used the same die, but it looks so different!

What is your favourite crafty thing this month?

Stampin' Up! Mixed Medallions Card Kit with StampinByHannah

StampinByHannah Sale-a-bration Spotlight Mixed Medallions Card Kit

There are SO many great goodies in this years Sale-a-bration! One of the most recent to land in my craft room is the Mixed Medallions card kit… I think that this is really easy to miss the brochure, but its great for a few quick cards.

The kit comes loaded with 8 gate fold card bases, pre-printed sentiment pieces and die cut embellishments, and the cards it makes are really cute.

I have plans to make some alternatives for this kit (because I LOVE pulling a kit apart and seeing what else I can create!) but I haven’t had time to do that yet, however, I didn’t want you to miss out on this one… it’s SO good! If you have made an alternative project with this kit, I would LOVE to see them. You can share projects with me over on my Facebook Page!

There are two levels for Sale-a-bration this year; Level 1 items are redeemable with a £45 spend, while Level 2 require a £90 spend…. and you can of course get an extra item every time you hit £45 in a single order. For example, if you spend £90 you could choose one Level 2 item, or two Level 1’s. You can find all the free goodies in my Stampin’ Up! Webstore.

Fancy Fold Friday | Double Front Card

Hello! Welcome to Fancy Fold Friday! I am loving the card this week. Whilst I was scanning through Pinterest a few weeks ago I spotted this style of card, something I hadn’t come across before, and I love it! I’ve kept it super simple for the video tutorial but I can see all kinds of fancy things happening with this fold.

One first glance this card doesn’t look like much….

Until you open it!

This card is super simple to create, You know I don’t do anything overly complicated! (one of the reasons why I’m a papercrafter and not a knitter, or a sew-er – that and I’m terrified of a sewing machine, but that’s a different story!)

So, this card uses the Gifts of Love stamp set from the new 2016 Annual catalogue. This is one of the stamp sets that is exclusive to Hostesses, or those who place orders of over £150 Online. This years hostess stamp sets are just fabulous, definitely worth spending that extra £ for. Oh, while I’m waffling about getting free stamps, Stampin’ Up! has a great offer this month when you spend £250, you get at least £55 of Stampin’ Rewards to spend on Hostess stamp sets or anything else you choose from the catalogue! how awesome is that!

Measurements:

Card Base – Rose Red – 14.8 x 15 cm, Scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Inner Card – Whisper White – 19 x 12.8, Scored on the long side at 9.5 cm

Matts – Old Olive – you need two of these – 10.3 x 6 cm

Layers – Whisper White – you need two of these – 9.8 x 5.5 cm

Fancy Fold Friday | Split Panel Card

Fancy fold friday video tutorial split panel card using birthday blooms from Stampin' Up!

Now, I will admit that this week I am pushing the boundary’s of ‘fancy fold’ but I keep seeing this style of card on Pinterest, and just HAD to give it a go!

I am not going to waffle too much today, I do plenty of that in the video tutorial. This card really is simple to create, it really just comes down to cutting and sticking in the right places!

I wanted to keep this card simple – seeing as it is a simple faux fancy fold – and so sticking to one colour and one stamp set were the way to go for me! I am still loving finding new ways to use Birthday Blooms, an absolute MUST OWN set! and it is carrying over in the new catalogue too!

Before I finish with the measurements of this card, I just want to remind you that the current catalogues both end on the 31st May! don’t forget to check out the retiring list before your favourite stamps leave us forever!

Measurements:

Card Base – Bermuda Bay – Half A4 (10.5 x 29.8 cm)

Insert the Card Base into your Stamping trimmer with the long side at the top, score at 14.8 cm and cut at 19.6 and 24.8 cm

Fancy Fold Friday | Corner Fold Card

Fancy Fold Friday Video Tutorial Corner Fold Card featuring Number of Years from Stampin' Up! UK

When I first made this card last year it took me ages to work out the cutting and scoring, I had found a tutorial from an awesome American fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and just had to make this card, but the US don’t use A4 card stock, so I had to convert the measurements. It has taken me so long to revisit this style of card after the trauma of that day, but following my own instructions I had the card finished in a flash!

I love the fact that this card has its own level of dimension, although you could really burnish the fold lines to get the card to be flatter. I have also seen this style of fancy fold embossed with an embossing folder after the fold has been created which looks awesome! but I opted for tone on tone stamping today

This card features the Number of Years stamps and dies – which is currently available as a 15% bundle, but the bundle retired on the 31st May, although the stamps and dies will still be available they will cost more – grab them today for a bargain!

Have you spotted my colour combination inspiration today? Yes, this card is made in my blog colours; Soft Sky, Marina Mist and Melon Mambo!

Measurements:

Card Base – Marina Mist – Half A4, folded in half (14.8 x 21, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm)

Insert you card base into your Stampin’ Trimmer with the long side at the top, line up the left hand edge at 13 cm – using the measurements printed on the cutting arm of the Stampin’ Trimmer cut from 2 cm down to 8 cm.

Turn your card base so the short edge is at the top, line up the left hand edge of your card stock at 8 cm, and cut again from 2cm to 8 cm – you should have created a corner cut in the middle of your card front.

Then fold the top right hand edge of the card front down, ensure that you don’t fold the centre square that will appear, burnish this score line well to ensure you card front sits flat.

Fancy Fold Friday | Simple Easel Card

Fancy Fold Friday Easel Card Video Tutorial using Stampin' Up! UK products

Welcome to Fancy Fold Friday! Today I thought I would share my most commonly made Fancy Fold Card! A Simply Easel – I love doing a twist on the Easel card but today I’m heading back to basics and keeping it simple!

I am still totally in love with this stamp set too! Awesomely Artistic is a great layering stamp set, and you can see me layer these stamps in the video tutorial below!

Easel cards are super simple, but require one very key component – the stopper! This is the part of the card that makes the card front stand up. Here I have used the Decorative Label punch to create my stopper, popping my punched out sentiment on a dimensional.

Measurements:

Card Base: Mint Macaron – 21 x 14.8 cm, Scored on the long side at 10.5 cm and 5.2 cm

Card Layers: Tip Top Taupe – 10 x 14.2 cm and Whisper White – 9.5 x 13.8 cm

Don’t forget that you will also need a scrap of Mint Macaron card stock for the stopper.

Fancy Fold Friday | Diagonal Double Pocket Planner Insert

Fancy Fold Friday Diagonal Double Pocket Fold Planner Insert

I am loving being back with my Fancy Fold Fridays! I hope you are too!

I am not going to limit myself though just to cards, I know I love a fancy fold card as much as the next crazy paper lady however I am going to include some other folding projects too, and this is one of those.

Pinterest has a LOT to answer for here! I have a whole board of fancy fold ideas, and this popped up one day, I love the idea but the measurements are for 8 1/2 x 11″ card stock AKA: American sized paper! which when you live an A4 sized world is really annoying. But I chopped down a piece of 12×12 Designer Series Paper to give it ago anyway, and chucked it into my planner – I store heaps of cards and ideas in my planner including prototypes – and I had an epiphany, what an AWESOME planner insert! Plus, trying to cut a piece of 12×12 Designer Series Paper down to A4 is a bit of a nuisance.

I use an Erin Condren Life Planner (LOVE!) but you could totally fit these into other types planners just by punching the appropriate holes. They are a great place to store tickets, receipts, business cards and other important bits of paper.

The insert I am currently using uses the retiring English Garden Designer Series Paper which is so super pretty, but the one in the video uses a piece of the Neutrals Designer Series Paper stack, which includes pieces of Gold and Silver (so lovely) that would make gorgeous planner inserts!
