This week’s Friday Video is a quick one! I’ve had these Mini Gable Boxes in my stash for AGES… I thought it was about time I shared them with you!

Stampin' Up! Mini Gable Boxes Video Tutorial

These cute boxes would be perfect for Wedding favours, or posh party bags! I’ve wrapped this one using the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper before adding a fun sentiment using All Things Thanks. I’ve kept this week’s video simple… because the past few weeks have been a little manic around here… I’ll update you on all the news very soon!

Check back next week for more fun videos and inspiration for me!

This week for the Project Share Project I thought I would share some of the fabulous 3D items that the other ladies in the team produce! 3D isn’t really my thing, although I do dabble, the other 3 do amazing 3D creations!

I LOVE this project… going have to CASE these for sure!

Inspire.Create.Challenge 016 | Farewell Dapper Denim…

Fine Tip Glue Techniques with Beautiful You from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah Inspire.Create.Challenge 016 Farewell Dapper Denim…

Inspire.Create.Challenges Colour Challenge April 2018

This week’s Inspire.Create.Challenge is a fun farewell to the 2016-2018 In-Colours… I cannot quite believe that we’ve had these for 2 years already! I thought as we bid these colours goodbye, I would update one of the projects I made to introduce them! You can find that blog post HERE!

How to use Fine Tip Glue on your cards... as something other than an adhesive with Beautiful You from Stampin' Up!

These cards use one of my favourite techniques; Masking with Fine-Tip Glue. It’s super easy to do, but it does take a little time as the glue has to dry (and it’s better if you leave it overnight). Here I have stamped two of the images from the Beautiful You stamp set onto Very Vanilla Notecards, using Archival Basic Black ink (but staz-on would work just as well). Then use Fine-Tip glue to ‘colour in’ the stamped images, making sure to cover the area fully.

Once the glue is dried, you can then stamp over it. I’ve used Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach, Dapper Denim, and Emerald Envy, and one of the stamps from Touches of Texture. Where the glue is the ink won’t stick. Then, take a Stampin’ Sponge and sponge on more ink, making sure to wipe away the ink from the glue.

Quick and fun card collection using Beautiful You from Stampin' Up!

I can hear you asking why I haven’t used Flirty Flamingo… well, it’s one of the colours coming back as part of the Stampin’ Up! Colour Revamp! I am super excited about this, and will be sharing all of the details about that with you really soon!

Don’t forget to pop over to Inspire.Create.Challenges and see what the other members of the Design Team have created with these fabulous colours! And, if we have inspired you… why not share your makes with us over there too…

March Customer Thank You Cards featuring Eastern Beauty from Stampin’ Up!

Fun Dapper Denim Thank You Card using Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

StampinByHannah March Customer Thank You Cards featuring Eastern Beauty from Stampin’ Up!

 

Last week I pulled all the Retiring List items off my stamp shelves, along with all the card stock, Designer Series Paper and other bits and bobs that are leaving us. However, they aren’t leaving my craft room just yet! While you can still get them, I’ll continue to share them with you.

This card features some Retiring card stock and Designer Series Paper, as well as some carry over goodies too!

How to make a simple thank you card with the Eastern Beauty Bundle from Stampin' Up!

So, which bits are Retiring? Well, the Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper will leave us at the end of May (although it might sell out before that!), along with the Dapper Denim card stock and ink. Dapper Denim is one of the 2016-2018 In-Colours that we are saying goodbye to this year. I have a fun project for Inspire.Create.Challenge tomorrow with some of the Retiring In-Colours… don’t forget to check back for that!

The Eastern Beauty Bundle is also retiring. However, the stamps and dies are in the new annual catalogue! What this means though, is that from the 1st June 2018 you’ll loose the 10% bundle discount! So, if you love these stamps and dies, I’d grab them before the end of May.

Eastern Beauty Customer Thank You cards using Stampin' Up! products

I LOVE sending cards out to my customers each month. I always send a card, sometimes they also get gifts and goodies too! This month my March customers received this card, along with my project from yesterday… and my Code Club Code users also got some super fun embellishments!

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!

Stampin’ Up! Retiring List 101

StampinByHannah Stampin’ Up! Retiring List 101

Stampin' Up! Retiring List

The Stampin’ Up! 2018 Retiring List went live last Monday… and thanks to night shifts I have only just got round to blogging about it properly. I did send a (probably quite garbled) email in between nights on Tuesday. If you don’t get my emails you can sign up HERE!

What is the Retiring List?

As we get closer to the launch of the 2018 Stampin’ Up! Annual catalogue, the lovely people at the Stampin’ Up! warehouse need to clear out and make room for the new goodies that are coming! Not everything can carry forward every year, somethings go out of fashion, and somethings are being replaced… and so we have to say goodbye to some favourites…

Are there any discounts?

Not yet… but there will be! We don’t know what yet, and as things on the Retiring List are While Stocks Last I would urge you to grab your favourites now rather that waiting to see if they become discounted!

I’ve checked the list and there are some Bundles Retiring… but I can’t find the stamp set?

Stampin’ Up! retire all the bundles every year, however that doesn’t mean that the stamps, dies or punches are going away… they just wont be bundled together for a 10% discount anymore. So, if there is a bundle in the current catalogue that you love, grab it before the 31st May to get that 10% off!

What are your favourite items that are leaving?

oooh… I LOVE a LOT of things that are going this Retiring List. But here are a few of my top picks (Please Note: this list WILL NOT be updated, some items might have sold out already…. you’ll have to click on the images to find out!)

How to can I see the Retiring List?

OnStage Swaps!

StampinByHannah OnStage Swaps!

OnStage and Team Swaps

Last weekend I spent the day with several hundred other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event in Telford, UK. After a full day, and information overload… I think I have finally got my head around the new catalogue and some of the changes coming in the next few months. I’ll be sharing more about all of that really soon. Today though I have a fun video for you, along with all the fabulous swaps I received!

Yesterday I shared another Swaps video from our team training event… you can find that one HERE!

Swaps…

14

Check out the video to see what I got in my OnStage goodie bag too….

One of the highlights of the day though, was to FINALLY meet one of my lovely Inspire.Create.Challenge Design Team Members. Sarah-Jane gave me the stunning card (which now have pride of place on the card shelf above my PC) and a lovely houseplant too.
