International Blog Highlights Teacher Gifts Teabag Gift Box using Share What You Love Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah International Blog Highlights Teacher Gifts!

Kylies International Blog Highlight banner

Welcome to StampinByHannah today for the August Blog Highlight! I adore taking part in these every month and was totally honoured to be chosen as a top pick in July! You can see the winners blog hop from last month HERE!

I think Kylie has set us a really tough challenge this month! It might just be me though… Teacher Gifts?! Now, for us here in the UK, this is a little late as the kids are all currently off school for the summer. But, I don’t have any children either… so the whole thing is a bit lost on me to be honest! However, I’m always up for a challenge…. so, Teacher Gifts it is, and Teacher Gifts you have got!

How to make a fun Teacher Gift using the Envelope Punch Board and Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

These are really simple little gifts, because I understand that you need something quick, and probably multiples of them for all those fabulous Teaching Assistants (I know about those… my mother and mother in law both work in schools!). So, I’ve these cute boxes are made in a snap using the Envelope Punch Board, and each hold 4 individually wrapped tea bags.

The Designer Series Paper is called Share What You Love, and because it’s a heavier weight than most of the Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper it’s great for boxes and bags! I’ve even taken a sanding block to it for a fun shabby effect.

The sentiment and dies are taken from the Stitched All Around bundle. I am in LOVE with these stamps and dies! This sentiment is particularly special to me; as I used to sing this song to a resident every single morning… it always made her smile, and she would sing along to. I left that job back in April, and I know that that lady has since passed (not wanting to bring this post down!)… but it’s one of the reason’s why I LOVE my day job! I know that I’m a nurse, rather than a teacher…. but these would make awesome nurses gifts!

Love What You Do Divided Sweetie Box…

How to make a cute divided box for sweeties or stationary using Stampin' Up! Share What You Love Designer Series Paper

StampinByHannah Love What You Do Divided Sweetie Box…

So, today I thought I would re-visit a project I shared on this very blog about 3 years ago! I cannot believe that I have been sharing with you here for over 4 years now, I LOVE reading all your comments but I would also love to see if you have made something inspired by something I have shared too. You can share your work with me over on my Facebook Page or, if you don’t want the world to see it, drop me an email! You never know, I might even pop something in the post to you as a Thank you!

How to make a fun box with a cut out lid using Square Framelits and Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

For all I’m calling these Divided Sweetie Boxes they would also look super cute on your desk holding all those paper clips, elastic bands and other random desk junk (do other people have this… or is it just me?!). Both of these boxes actually use the same piece of Designer Series Paper from the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper Pack, don’t you love when you can’t decide which side of the paper you love more and have to make two of something just because?! Or is that just me as well!

Measurements:

Card stock for the box base: 6 x 6″ (15 x 15 cm)

Score on all 4 sides at 1″ (2.5 cm)

Designer Series Paper for the box lid: 5-9/16 x 5-9/16″ (14.3 x 14.3 cm)

Score on all 4 sides at 3/4″ (2 cm)

Card stock for dividers: 1 piece that measures 4 x 5-1/2″ (10 x 13.8 cm) and 2 pieces that measure 2 x 5-1/2″ (5 x 13.8 cm)

Score at 2″ (5 cm) on each end and then flip the card stock over and score again at 2-3/4″ (6.9 cm)

Cute divided box with lid using pattened paper from Stampin' Up!

The most special part of these boxes for me is the Square cut out windows. In the original box I cut these by hand because I didn’t have a square die, but for this version I used the Layering Square Dies to cut the window and made the cute Crumb Cake frames too. These frames are really easy to make; first cut the straight edged square from a piece of card stock, then cut a scalloped square out around that one to create a frame. You can see exactly how I did this in the video tutorial above.

I would love to see your creations this weekend, I’ll be back tomorrow with a fun blog hop with the InspireINK team, hope to see you then!

Inspire.Create.Challenges #019 | Grapefruit Grove Home Decor

Inspire.Create.Challenges In Colour Challenge using Grapefruit Grove and Share What You Love from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenges #019 Grapefruit Grove Home Decor

Stampin' Up! In Colours 2018-2020 Lovely Lipstick Pineapple Punch Grapefruit Grove Call me Clover Blueberry Bushel

This week I am sharing a whole weeks worth of inspiration featuring the new Stampin’ Up! 2018-2020 In Colours… which happens to tie in quite nicely to this weeks Inspire.Create.Challenges Colour Challenge…

Inspire.Create.Challenges In Colour Challenge using Stampin' Up! colours

One of my most favourite times in the Stampin’ Up! calendar is the release of the new In-Colours…. and this year certainly did not disappoint! These 5 fun, bright colours are going to be awesome to use during the summer, and I can see some fabulous Christmas crafting coming with Call Me Clover too!

Today’s project is a fairly simple one… borne from the need to update my Office decor! I’ve had this frame in my craft room for a couple of years, I shared the original creation HERE…. but it was starting to look tired… and I could not pass up the chance to use the Exclusive Statement of the Heart stamp before it retires Tomorrow! The frame is THIS one from IKEA (I LOVE IKEA… don’t you?!)

Stampin' Up! Statement of the Heart Craft Room Home Decor Frame using Share What You Love Designer Series Paper

Today is Grapefruit Grove day in my week long celebration of all things ‘In Colour’ and I just HAD to use this piece of the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper and the Statement of the Heart Stamp Set from the Share What You Love Bundles, along with some of the pieces from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit, Pearlised Doilies and a hint of Vellum too!

This week I am sharing a daily PDF download of each project with my Email subscribers, feel free to subscribe HERE.

Do pop over to Inspire.Create.Challenges to see the work of the fabulous other members of the Design Team have made with these fun In-Colours…

Make It Monday Happy Birthday using Share What You Love from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Make It Monday Share What You Love Gorgeous!

Make It Monday

I’ve been a little obsessed with the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper recently. I still have heaps of samples using it to share with you from my Display Board from Stampin’ Up! OnStage back at the beginning of April…. so many that I might just do a really long post with all the cards on! I was planning on spreading them out over a few weeks, but I’m having a lovely period of creativity at the moment, and I keep making more!

Today’s card combines the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper with one of my favourite stamp sets from the past year; Happy Birthday Gorgeous!

Make It Monday Happy Birthday Gorgeous meets Share What You Love from Stampin' Up! Birthday Card Video Tutorial

This fun card features a large piece of that Share What You Love Designer Series Paper, along with one of those beautiful Pearlised Doilies. I will admit I wasn’t convinced by these new doilies when I first got my hands on them, but the more I’ve used them the most I LOVE them. The Pearlised finish is only on one side, the other side is a matt white….so they could be any colour you choose, you just need to grab an ink pad and a sponge! Love that! The Designer Series Paper and the Doilies are both part of the Share What You Love Early Release Bundles… check them out!

I have been playing a lot with layers recently, and this card shows that off too! Ready for the card recipe?

  • Mint Macaron Card Base; 29.7 x 10.5 cm, scored on the long side at 14.85 cm
  • Basic Black card stock; 13.3 x 9 cm
  • Share What You Love Designer Series Paper; 12.8 x 8.5 cm
  • Half a Pearlised Doily
  • Half a Pretty Label punched out of Champagne Foil Sheet
  • 2 Leaves punched from Vellum using the Leaf punch
  • Classic Label punch stamped with 2 stamps from Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Make It Monday How to make a birthday card using Patterned Paper using Share What You Love from Stampin' Up!

The Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set can currently be found on the Retiring List…. but it’s not going anywhere. It’s featured on the Retiring List because it is currently bundled with a fabulous Happy Birthday Thinlit die, and the bundle is being retired at the end of this years Annual Catalogue. The bundle price allows you to save 10% when you buy the stamp set and die together, so I’d be grabbing this one sooner rather than later to get that discount!
