StampinByHannah Make It Monday | Share What You Love!

Make It Monday

This week is a special one! We are fast approaching the launch of the Stampin’ Up! 2018 Annual Catalogue, and to celebrate Stampin’ Up! are releasing 4 fabulous product bundles… more on what is in the bundles tomorrow (when they launch) but today I thought I would re-work one of the projects I made for Stampin’ Up! OnStage…. using the new Love What You Do Stamp Set and Share What You Love Designer Series Paper.

Stampin' Up! Share What You Love Suite Love What You Do Video Tutorial Make It Monday

I had loads of fun making this card… which features one of my favourite techniques; watercolour wash backgrounds!

The Love What You Do stamp set features some lovely sentiments with 2 great fonts. I am such a font girl… and this one really sings to me! I was SO lucky to get to work with this stamp set for the Display Boards at Stampin’ Up! OnStage in early April… this was my inspiration for today’s card…

Stampin' Up! Love What You Do Display Board Sample

I’m sure you can see how I’ve got from one to another…

The Love What You Do Stamp set is available from tomorrow as part of the fabulous Share What You Do Early Release Bundles… check back tomorrow for all the details!

Make It Monday | Quick and Easy OnStage Swaps!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Using the Envelope punch board

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Quick and Easy OnStage Swaps!

Make It Monday

On Saturday I shared all the fabulous swaps that I received at Stampin’ Up! OnStage last weekend. Today I thought I would share the project I swapped… as well as the gift I sent my wonderful March customers!

Make It Monday How to make a cute envelope using Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

These are super duper easy to pop together. Can you believe I made 48 of these in just 1 hour and 40 minutes! Partly because I used Wood Textures Designer Series Paper which comes in  6 x 6″… the exact right size for these cute envelopes! and partly because I kept things simple with punches and basic stamping!

This fun project uses the Envelope Punch Board. I LOVE this tool so much, it’s just SO handy! I use it all the time for custom sized envelopes for special occasion cards, as well as being super handy for a quick thinking of you type gift. It’s so easy to use too… as you can see in the video tutorial!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper: 6 x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)

Punch and score on each side at 3″ using the Envelope Punch Board

Make It Monday March Stampin' Up! Customer gifts with Colour Theory from Stampin' Up!

I was on so much of a roll with these that I kept going once I had finished my swaps, switching to the fun Colour Theory Designer Series Paper, to make my March Customer thank you gifts! I continued to use the same stamp set, Hedgehugs,  but changed the colours to the retiring Dapper Denim colour instead!

I’ll be sharing more the Stampin’ Up! Colour Revamp very soon!

This week’s Make It Monday is a little late, but I hope that you enjoy it anyway. This past week has been crazy busy, and I just didn’t get chance to film over the weekend as it was James’ birthday yesterday.

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Acetate Window Card using Petal Palette from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday

I have been loving playing with stamps recently! I know that sounds really strange, seeing as I work a Stamping business… but you know, sometimes I really don’t feel like stamping! But not recently, I have made SO many cards and projects that I am sure I have blog posts coming for months! I have been having so much fun playing with stamps, ink and paper, making fancy folds and learning new techniques… and I cannot wait to share all of it with you!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Petal Palette Window Card using Stampin' Up! supplies

Speaking of having fun stamping, I had SO much fun creating this card! You guys know how much I have been LOVING the Petal Palette stamp set and die bundle, and when I first grabbed this set I knew I wanted to make some sort of window card with it. Then I found THIS card from Janet Wakeland… Janet used Stampin’ Blends to colour her Petals, and while I do LOVE the Blends, I haven’t quite got round to buying the Old Olive ones yet (they just keep getting missed off my order!) and so I reached for my Stampin’ Write Markers instead.

The Petal Palette Stamp set and coordinating Petals and More Thinlits are available as a bundle. Bundles are Awesome… as well as giving you an easy way to order coordinating products, you also save 10% when you order a Bundle. You can find ALL of the bundles currently available in my Stampin’ Up! webstore.

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Making 6 cards with Coffee Break Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday

I needed a stack of cards quickly for some customer Thank You’s at the end of last month, and so took the opportunity to make one of my favourite styles of simple cards.

Make It Monday How to Make a quick card with Coffee Break Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

I have been loving playing with the Coffee Cafe suite this month from the Annual Catalogue, as it has been the focus of my Stamp of the Month Club. So, it just sort of flowed that I used the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper for my January Customer Thank You Cards. I LOVE sending customer thank you packs, each and every customer receives a hand-stamped card from me, and more if they have used the Code Club Code too!

Measurements:

Card Base – 10.5 x 29.85 cm, scored on the long side at 14.85 cm

Designer Series Paper – 10 x 14.3 cm

Whisper White strip – 2.5 x 10.5 cm

How to make 6 cards from a single sheet of Coffee Break Designer Series Paper Make It Monday Video Tutorial using Stampin' Up! products

The sentiment is from Thankful Thoughts… my absolute ‘go to’ stamp set for thank you’s. These cards are finished with a strip of Burlap ribbon and half a doily.

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Coffee Break Box Tutorial

Make It Monday

Hello! Happy Monday! If you are anything like me your day has to start with one thing… COFFEE! right?! Actually, if I’m working my day job, I don’t have my first coffee until about 2 hours after I get up (half 5 is just too early, even for coffee!) but if I’m having a crafty day in my home office coffee happens much earlier! Actually I currently have a bit of an obsession with my Tassimo machine, and the Costa Latte’s… although I am sure that they are doing nothing for my waistline!

Quick and fun Box tutorial using Coffee Break Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

I can’t decide if my favourite part of this box is the Gold Library clip, or the Corrugated oval, both are just so cute! This box would be perfect for some individual coffee sachets, or a pack of those breakfast biscuits, and I am sure you could find HEAPS of uses for it too!

Make It Monday | Petal Palette Team Swap Card

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Petal Palette Team Swap Card

Make It Monday

On of the many joys of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator is being part of a team, a group of like-minded people, sharing crafting and stamping. I absolutely LOVE being a part of the team. One of the things we do when we get together for events is swap… we each make a stack of the same card (or box, bag, notebook, or other crafty project) and then swap our project for others that other people have made. They are a great way of getting a heap of inspiration very quickly! Well, we recently held a postal swap for new catalogue inspiration, all coordinated by my lovely friend Amanda Charlesworth.

Make It Monday Petal Palette Team Swap card using Stampin' Up! products

I love creating cards with lots of White Space, particularly when making for swaps as it keeps things simple and nice and easy to mass produce. I did only make 6 of these, but it would have been just as easy to whip up a bigger batch.

I have been really enjoying the Petal Palette stamp and die bundle. You can buy the stamps and the dies separately, BUT I would suggest buying them together as you save 10%. I am such a sucker for a good font, and this stamp set not only has a great font, but really useful sentiments too.

How to Make a quick and easy mens card video tutorial using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Quick and Easy Men’s Card using Truly Tailored from Stampin’ Up!

Make It Monday

I have a quick and easy card for you today. One of the ways that I maintain my crafty mojo is by CASing (Copy and Selectively Edit!) and today I have CASE’d the Stampin’ Up! catalogue. The catalogue actually used to be called an idea book… and that is exactly how I use it. My catalogue is constantly in use, its always open on either my crafty desk or my office one, looking for ideas.

How to Make a quick and easy mens card video tutorial using Truly Tailored from Stampin' Up!

Ok, so this card uses Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Write Markers to selectively colour the sentiment stamp. I LOVE doing this, and have done it quite a bit recently. There are a couple of things to remember when you’re stamping with Stampin’ Write Markers

  • Use the side of the brush tip to colour your stamp
  • Use the lightest colour of marker first, and work to the darkest (particularly if your colouring a stamp where the ink colours will touch) to avoid your dark inks contaminating your lighter markers
  • Get plenty of ink onto your stamp; colour each part of the image several times, and colour in different directions to prevent a streaky looking stamped image
  • Stampin’ Write Markers use the same ink as your Stampin’ Up! Classic Ink Pads and are water-based, so the ink WILL dry on your stamp. Re-activate your ink before you stamp by breathing on it.

I love my Stampin’ Write Markers SO much that I have a fabulous Stampin’ Write Marker Club… this club gets your all 38 markers over 4 months and comes complete with a handy case to store them in too! You can find all the information about club HERE!
