Hello! Wow, where did last week go?! Oh, well, it’s Monday again – time for Make It Monday!
I spent the weekend with a group of awesome women; crafting, eating and having heaps of fun! I have rambled for hours about how much I LOVE Stampin’ Up! and this weekend was a prime example of why I love it. This weekend wasn’t a Stampin’ Up! organised event, but a team event, organised by one of my lovely Stampin’ friends. Someone I would NEVER have met without this company, and I spend the whole weekend crafting (how often to we get to do that!), it was great to reset, take time for me, and I am so ready for what the next few weeks will bring!
How cute are these! One of the things that we do when we get together is share and swap projects – we call them swaps, and its a massive part of any Stampin’ Up! event. Now, when I go to Stampin’ Up! organised events I make maybe 50 swaps, but because this was a smaller team event I made a swap for each person – so this time I made 22 of these. Actually I made 24, but that meant that I could leave a couple to say Thank You to the housekeepers / receptionist etc at the Hotel we stayed at.
Aren’t they super cute! Each pocket contains a bar of children’s chocolate (the same brand as those eggs with the toy in the middle!) – because chocolate / sweeties are another BIG theme at these events. James laughs at me, he always knows when I’m prepping for a crafty weekend away (he never remembers, no matter how many times I tell him I’m going!) when he sees the bags and bags of sweets sat in the office!
These pockets use the Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper and coordinating Pop of Paradise Stamp set. I did also make some using the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper too, seeing as I managed to cut enough paper for 18 pockets and then ran out of paper – Math isn’t my strong point!
Measurements:
Designer Series Paper – 4 x 4 1/2″ (10 x 12 cm)
Score on the long side at 2 and 4″ (5 and 10 cm)
The pockets are super simple to put together (as you can tell, a 5 minute Make It Monday video! even with my rambling is a miracle!). They are finished with the Tag Topper Punch at the top, and a staple at the bottom. Like I said I made 24 of these and it took me about an hour, from start to finish.
I would LOVE to welcome you to our next crafty weekend! Have you ever thought about joining Stampin’ Up! and becoming a part of my team of Stampin’ Friends? check out my Join My Team page, or drop me a message today, I am sure you won’t regret it!

I love spoiling my new Team Members, and always send out a special Welcome to the Team pack to each person that chooses me to become their Team Leader. My ‘Welcome Pack’ always includes a card and usually a special little something from me, sometimes its a notebook, sometimes sweeties, but this month I’m sending products! I am LOVING the new In-Colours and so for those special people that join my team in June are all going to find some of the new Enamel Shapes in their goodie packs.
I have, of course, also made cards and gift bags to hold those Enamel shapes. The Flamingo comes from the Pop of Paradise stamp set, which coordinates with the Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper that features on the card and the Gift Bag too. This gift bag was so easy to put together with the Gift Bag Punch Board, this one uses a piece of Designer Series Paper that measures 7 x 12″.
It is so simple to join my team of Stampin’ Friends; you just have to buy the Stampin’ Up! starter kit. £130 worth of great Stampin’ Up! products for just £99, AND if you join during June you get to choose 2 stamp sets from the new Annual Catalogue for FREE! That is up to £92 of stamps – Awesome!
But what do you get once you have joined? Not only do you get a great custom Starter Kit, and a great team of instant Friends, but while you are a demonstrator you get at least 20% off all purchases, PLUS the chance to pre-order new products, attend Stampin’ Up! events AND have heaps of Stampin’ fun!

Hello! Oh, this is such a BIG week here at StampinByHannah! On Wednesday I have a heap of stuff to post as the 2016 Annual Catalogue goes live! I am so excited to shop with you from this awesome new book. I do have a couple of days of sneaky peaks before we get there though….
Starting with today’s Make It Monday!
This card is so fun! I will admit that this Flamingo stumped me when I first came across it in the catalogue. I have had the catalogue in my hands since mid-April, when I attended Stampin’ Up! On Stage, and the girls I was sat with that day will tell you I have absolutely no idea what happened on the stage as I couldn’t pull my eyes away from the catalogue, pen in hand, making notes of things for all of you! But this flamingo, which comes in a set that also includes a Pineapple, had me baffled! And then it appeared in the very short list available for demonstrators available to pre-order, and I didn’t buy it, but then my Facebook and Pinterest feeds filled up with Flamingos, and somehow this dude ended up on my stamp shelf! So, I have it, I MUST use it!
So, this is one of my first cards featuring the Flamingo. But I had this card in my head, particularly the technique I have used on the Flamingo itself.
The Flamingo was coloured using the In-Colour Stampin’ Write markers in Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach. I did a test stamp onto Whisper White, and this effect was just gorgeous, I will probably share that at some point – but not today. The Designer Series Paper on the side of the watercolour paper comes from two different packs (sorry!) the Black stripes are from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack, and the other piece with the beautiful gold confetti is from the new Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper, so super pretty.
I hope you enjoyed my waffle-y video today, I have to apologise that I won’t be posting a Fancy Fold Friday this week, but I do have several other videos coming this week instead!
