Make It Monday | Customer Thank You Cards using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin’ Up!

Welcome to Make It Monday! I do hope that you’re Monday is fun and filled with lots of coffee (I think mine might be…. lots of coffee and lots of crafting planned for today!)…. I have a fun card project for you today.

Each and every month I spoil my customers with a handmade card and a fun little gift… plus some extras if you use the Code Club Code! And today’s project is the card I sent everyone that shopped with me in September.

This card is a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) card of THIS card by Teneale Williams. It uses the gorgeous Oh So Eclectic stamp set and the coordinating Eclectic Layers dies. I almost used the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper too… but I loved this patterned and it’s from Delightful Daisy instead!

This month there is a fabulous offer on on selected packs of Designer Series Paper. Buy 3 get 1 FREE…. I picked up a heap of paper last week, because, well, it would be rude not to right?! This offer runs through to the 31st October. I LOVE our Designer Series Paper! Not only because the patterns are gorgeous, but the quality is perfect, it is just thick enough that it doesn’t crack when you score it…. AND it matches the Stampin’ Up! ink colours for completely coordinated crafting!

These should have hit your letterboxes over the weekend… along with a cute little gift (more on that next Monday!)

See you again soon

Make It Monday | Quick and Easy Santa’s Suit Cards

Make It Monday Card making Video Tutorial Swap card using Santa's Suite from Stampin' Up!

Last weekend I attended a Stampin’ Up! Team Training event…. and made two different swap cards. I shared THIS ONE last week, and have the second one to share with you today. Swaps are sample cards that we make for other demonstrators when we go to events, swapping is so much fun, and a great way to see lots of different ways of using our fabulous stamps! This particular event had organised swaps, where we signed up to make a few swaps on a particular theme…. hence why I have two different cards, because I signed up for a colour challenge swap as well as a Christmas themed one.

This card uses the Santa’s Suit stamp set…. which might just be my favourite Christmas Stamp set this year, it’s so cute… AND it comes with coordinating dies! Win! The Father Christmas is a two step stamp (another reason why I love this set!), the outline is one stamp, and then there is a second stamp to colour it in! No more bad colouring! Yay!

Measurements:

Card base – Garden Green – 10.5 x 29.7 cm, Score on the long edge at 14.85 cm

Whisper White Layer – 10 x 14.3 cm

Be Merry Designer Series Paper -4 x 13.8 cm

I’ve grabbed the Christmas Designer Series Paper from the annual catalogue. The Be Merry Designer Series Paper is one of those things that you could easily be missed… but it coordinates with a gorgeous stamp set and a heap of fun embellishments. I can also see this paper for projects other than Christmas…. as it has great mix of Christmas images and basic patterns.

Make It Monday | Faux Stained Glass meets Happy Birthday Gorgeous!

Make It Monday Team Training Swap card Faux Stained Glass technique using Happy Birthday Gorgeous from Stampin' Up!

I blogged a card using this technique a few weeks ago, after making THAT card I was working on some swap cards for a recent team training event (that was yesterday, and I will tell you more about it later in the week!) and couldn’t help but use the same design and technique. I love attending crafty events, particularly when they are with my team or Stampin’ Up! One of our favourite things to do at events is to swap creative ideas. This particular swap had a theme, a colour combination of; Island Indigo, Soft Sky, Flirty Flamingo and Whisper White.

I love the soft look of this card. The Faux Stained Glass technique is a really lovely way to get more out of your Stampin’ Write markers…. Please check the video tutorial for full details.

Measurements:

Card base – 29.6 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long side at 14.8 cm

Whisper White – 12.8 x 8.5 cm

Vellum – 12.8 x 8.5 cm

Island Indigo – 10.5 x 1 cm

Have you ever thought about grabbing a Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit and becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator? Joining was definitely one of the best things I have ever done (seriously, its up there with agreeing to allow my friend to set up a date with the guy that is now my husband!) not only have I met a whole heap of wonderfully fun, friendly and crafty people, been able to attend some fabulous events and see several European cities I would never have visited, and earned free products, I get a discount on all my Stampin’ goodies, get a quarterly magazine and weekly emails filled with inspiration and ideas, as well as pre-order periods and much much more! The no obligation Starter Kit costs £99 and you get to fill it with £130 worth of Stampin’ goodies of your choice. I welcome both happy shoppers and business seakers to my team, and would love to work with you to.

Make It Monday | Magnetic Closure Notebooks

Make It Monday Notebook covers using Eastern Palace suite from Stampin' Up!

Welcome to Make It Monday! I am loving this weeks project, I made these a few weeks ago and they have sat, looking all pretty on my desk every since…. saying that I really want to send them to someone… but I’ll get to that later!

Notebooks are always a handy gift. These are marked for Team Member gifts…. I always send a little something to new team members to welcome them to the team, and a notebook is great…. I mean, your massive wish list needs somewhere to go, right?!

The purple notebook (sorry, Fresh Fig!) uses the Eastern Palace stamp set and coordinating Eastern Beauty Designer Series Paper. The trick to these notebook covers is the magnets… yes they have a magnetic snap closure. I am sure that these covers would be just as cute without the magnets, but I took delivery of a heap of magnets last week and just HAD to use them on a project! I get my magnets from Ebay…. just search for Neodymium Disc magnets, and I am sure you will find them!

Measurements:

These notebook covers are for Jotter sized notebooks, and are in metric measurements only.

Card stock: 21 x 18.5 cm

Score on the SHORT side at 7, 7.5, 14.5 and 15 cm

Designer Series Paper: 20.5 x 6.5 cm AND 20.5 x 3 cm

August is a great time to think about joining the team. We are in the middle of pre-order month for the new Autumn Winter catalogue, which means that you could fill your Starter Kit with Christmas goodies and get your hands on some awesome stamp sets before anyone else! I did a whole video on why I think August is a great time to join on Saturday… I would LOVE you to check it out.

How to…. Make a Shabby Chic card using Stampin’ Up! supplies

How To video tutorial making a shabby chic card using Awesomely Artistic from Stampin' Up!

Good morning! I hope you don’t mind that I haven’t titled this weeks video tutorial ‘Make It Monday’ …. but it just didn’t really fit this week… what do you think?

A few weeks ago my wonderful Stampin’ Sister Amanda earned herself a place on the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip – something I would LOVE to achieve – she has worked so hard in her 12 months as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, and I thought that she deserved a special Congratulations card…. and seeing as she is the Queen of YouTube, a video was also fitting!

There are a couple of stamp sets at work here…. mainly Awesomely Artistic, but the sentiment is taken from Bunch of Blossoms… and I couldn’t pass up using that fab new label punch either!

I love how the smallest Stitched circle die fits this punch perfectly…. Stampin’ Up! coordination at its very best!

I hope you have enjoyed today’s card and video… Don’t forget to leave a comment and I will see you again tomorrow!

Make It Monday | How to make 6 Simple Thank You Cards from 1 Sheet of Designer Series Paper

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to Make 6 Simple Thank You Cards using 1 sheet of Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this week! I hope you have had a great weekend, I am in recovery mode after spending the weekend with my Stampin’ Sisters in Amsterdam (check out my Facebook / Instagram for what we got up to!)

I have a slightly different video tutorial for you today… making 6 cards from start to finish

Each month I make cards for my Customers as part of my Thank You packets. Everyone who shops with me receives a hand made card, along with a sweet treat and my monthly newsletter. I love sending these out, and they get even better when you use the Code Club Code! This special club starts a fresh each month, all you have to do to join in is add the monthly code at check out, and I will send you something special the following month!

I don’t usually give you measurements for cards, but I mentioned them in the video…. although I make cards in metric measurements (mainly because I use A4) so that is what I have put here

Measurements:

Card Base – Half A4, folded in half (I do this by taking a sheet of A4 and scoring on the short edge at 10.5 cm, and then cutting at 14.85 cm – this why I have scored and cut two cards at once)

Whisper White mat – 10 x 14.3 cm

Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 13.8 cm

Whisper White stripe (which is the end of the piece of Whisper White when you’ve cut 4 pieces as above) – 1.2 x 10 cm

I love this Designer Series Paper…. so much that I have been guilty of hoarding it! However, as we approach the end of this years Annual catalogue it’s time to get that DSP used! This particular paper is Floral Boutique and it coordinates with the Floral Phrases stamp set (that also has coordinating dies!). This suite of products is just stunning and would make beautiful wedding stationary.

Right, that’s all for me today, I’m off to unpack and sort of laundry before I start back at the day job tomorrow!

Make It Monday | Creating Backgrounds with small stamps

Make It Monday video tutorial creating backgrounds will small stamps featuring Endless Thanks from Stampin' Up!

This is technique that I use often to get the most out of the small stamps we often find in our stamp sets, using those small stamps to create fabulous backgrounds for our cards. I have a heap of this type of card in planning (mostly still in my head, but I’m sure they will find their way onto the blog at some point!)

There are several techniques going on on this card. Firstly, I am still obsessed with Masking (class coming soon!) before I got to creating my own background. I first stamped the Thank You from Endless Thanks in Basic Grey, and then stamped it again onto a sticky note. This sticky note then became a Mask as I punched out the Thank You with a 1 3/8″ circle punch. The second mask was a strip of sticky note tape laid on the diagonal across the card.

Enjoy the video tutorial, and keep watching for me making a mistake as per usual! I think I recovered it pretty well though….

The key to making backgrounds with small stamps is the order in which you stamp. I find the easiest way to do this is stamp the largest image first, and the use smaller and smaller stamps to fill in the gaps. I do of course break this rule in my video tutorial, however there is a reason for my madness! I stamped the Watermelon Wonder flowers first, and then the Crushed Curry ones, before I went back to a larger stamp (the leaves) to fill in the gaps – the reason being that I didn’t want all the leaves to be the same length. I used more masked to cover the flowers, and allow me to stamp shorter leaves.

Measurements:

Card Base – Island Indigo – Half A4, folded in half

Basic Grey – 13.8 x 9.5 cm

Whisper White – 13.3 x 9 cm
