Global Design Project #109 | Just For You

Global Design Project Just For You Watercolour Card using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up!

I had a busy day in my craft room yesterday… but was really struggling to get creative. So, I turned to an old favourite – the Global Design Project – for some fabulous inspiration.

This week they are featuring a Colour Challenge…. and what a great combination they are working with!

The Old Olive and Black colour combination immediately pointed me at the lovely Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper from the Autumn Winter Catalogue… this festive paper features just three colours (Basic Black, Old Olive and Whisper White) and a range of Christmas/Winter-y images and more generic patterns. This paper is paired with the Merry Little Labels bundle in the catalogue and I have also carried that through onto this card.

Global Design Project Just For You Watercolour Card using Merry Little Christmas from Stampin' Up!

This is one of those cards with lots of layers of detail; from the Old Olive watercolour wash, to the punched Vellum Pretty label, the Loops of Gold Metallic Thread to the Gold Heat Embossed leaves from Painted Harvest!

Global Design Project Old Olive and Basic Black Christmas Card using Merry Little Labels and Painted Harvest from Stampin' Up!

I have another project this week with this colour combination…. check back on Friday for something extra special!

Christmas Countdown | Hot Chocolate Stirrers!

Christmas Countdown Hot Chocolate and Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

Christmas Countdown Video Tutorial Series StampinByHannah Stampin' Up! UK

Hello! Welcome to this week’s Christmas Countdown…. there are 72 days left before the fat man arrives… and no I have not started my Christmas shopping yet! or really even thinking about it.

I have however started to think about my favourite things to do in the winter. We have a strong evening routine in our house of hot chocolate before bed… it started with that need for something sweet after dinner, but with lower calories…. and well, as you can see that hasn’t worked all that well!

Christmas Countdown Hot Chocolate and Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

My husband is a particular type of hot chocolate drinker… I think he would call it purest, its Cadbury’s or nothing! I personally, like the ones with different flavours… except white chocolate… that just not right!

So, these are right up his street…. nothing but chocolate-y goodness!

https://youtu.be/zj0aCPsn39Y

The bags are a Stampin’ Up! secret! I am sure that these are one of the most hidden items that Stampin’ Up! do… and yet they are in the catalogue, right there with all the fun papers and envelopes! Cellobags!

They even do various different sizes and types! These ones are the 3 x 6″ gusseted variety. I use the 6 x 8″ ones when I’m packing your class kits and prepping for my videos …. they are just one of those things that are super handy to have in your crafty stash!

Christmas Countdown How to make real Hot Chocolate and package using Stampin' Up! Supplies

The cute little labels are made using the Snowflake Sentiments bundle. This bundle comes with a super cute little label die… although I do think it is a little small for a gift, its the perfect size for price labels on your craft fair table, or packaging for your handmade soaps or chocolates… or like here for your instructions for your real Hot Chocolate!

Christmas Countdown how to make real hot chocolate!

These are super simply to make….in fact there is only one ingredient!

  1.  Get your kids or grandkids to eat 6 fromage frais type yogurts, and clean the pots
  2. Wipe the inside with vegetable oil using a pastry brush
  3. Melt a 150g bar of chocolate …. milk or dark is best! I find that the easiest way is to put just over half of the chocolate in a bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds at a time, giving it a good stir between blasts. Then, once the chocolate is melted, add the remaining chocolate and stir well.
  4. Pour the melted chocolate into the empty yogurt pots, ensuring that each pot has a similar amount.
  5. Add a wooden lollipop stick to the centre of each chocolate pot. Give the chocolate a moment to start to cool, and they should stand up on their own.
  6. Decorate with chocolate drops, edible glitters, mini marshmallows or sugar pearls
  7. Pop the chocolate pots into the fridge to set for a few hours (I would suggest overnight). Once they are fully set, the chocolate stirrers should pull out of the pots easily.

To enjoy your hot chocolate….

  • Fill your favourite mug 3/4 full with milk, and heat in the microwave until hot. Dunk your Hot Chocolate Stirrer into the hot milk and stir until the chocolate is fully melted.
  • Drink and enjoy!

To My Main Squeeze….

Fun Husband Anniversary Card using Lemon Zest and the Lemon Builder Punch from Stampin' Up!

When I received the Lemon Zest bundle a few months ago I spent ages just staring at it trying to work out when on earth I would send a card with an orange slice on it! However… once I got over the images and looked at the sentiments I realised that this set is just perfectly versatile!

To My Main Squeeze Anniversary card using Lemon Zest from Stampin' Up!

The Lemon Zest stamp set comes bundled with the Lemon Builder punch… which is great for some quick leaves! The Be warned though… that lemon only fits in one way around! This card doesn’t use the lemon though, instead I used the citrus slices instead… which also coordinates perfectly with a punch – the 1-3/4″ circle! Fun Husband Anniversary Card using Lemon Zest and the Lemon Builder Punch from Stampin' Up!

When I said this card doesn’t use the Lemon stamp I wasn’t telling the whole truth… in fact it is stamped all over the background of this card to create a fun textured tone on tone effect.

Make It Monday | Square Framelits Box with Lid

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Large Lidded Box using Birthday Blooms from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

I’ve had to have a bit of a shuffle around this week… as you may know I always (try) to work a few weeks ahead with my blog projects (gives me time for my life to fall apart around me and still get things made for you!) and so when I filled my planner with my projects and ideas for October I had planned to share my September Customer Thank You Cards with you today…. except that Stampin’ Up! released an AMAZING! offer last week which has sent the warehouse into a bit of a spin! This means that my Code Club gifts are stuck somewhere between Stockton on Tees and Germany…. and so I can’t share the cards I haven’t yet been able to send! So…. they will hopefully be filling this slot next week, and in the meantime I have a fabulous Video Tutorial for you…

Make It Monday Video Tutorial Large Lidded Box using Birthday Blooms from Stampin' Up!

I made this box a few weeks ago for a team training event…. which I am sure that you are all well and truly sick of me waffling on about now! but I wanted a fun 3D project for my display, and this was it!

The whole box is designed around the Layering Square Framelits and coordinating Stitched Shapes framelits. And while the original features the Birthday Blooms stamp set, with a hint of Touches of Texture in Island Indigo and Crumb Cake…. The video’d version is in Berry Burst and Smoky Slate

Measurements:

Box Base – 11 1/2 x 5 1/2″

Score on the long edge at 2 3/4, 5 1/2, 8 1/4 and 11″

Score on the short side at 2 3/4″

Box Lid – 3 13/16 x 3 13/16″ (sorry that this is such an odd measurement, but it makes sure that the lid fits snuggly!)

Score on all 4 sides at 1/2″

Make It Monday Large Box with Lid using Snowflake Sentiments from Stampin' Up!

While the original box uses the Fine Tip Glue Masking Technique the version in the tutorial video uses more traditional Embossed resist to create a pretty effect.

The snowflake stamp is taken from the Snowflake Sentiments…. I am loving this stamp and die bundle at the moment! Check out my Online Card Classes page tomorrow for a fun card class featuring this stamp set. Here it was heat embossed in clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder before I added Berry Burst ink with a sponge over the top. The clear embossing powder resists the ink and leaves a white snowflake showing through the bold pink!

Don’t forget that the Stampin’ Up! World Card Making Day Offers End TOMORROW! Grab a heap of great stamp sets for 15% off…..
