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…..

Oh Hello Friend….

Oh So Eclectic Online Card Class sample using Stampin' Up! UK products

I have been playing around with the Oh So Eclectic bundle for weeks while I designed the 10 projects for my Oh So Eclectic class…. and I have been sharing a few of the extras around my blog this past week. This particular card is the card that sparked the class in the first place!

Hello Friend Just Because card using Oh So Eclectic and Eclectic Layers from Stampin' Up!

This fun card uses a fun colour combination of Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy and Berry Burst. I would LOVE to see what you create with this colour combo too… you can share it with me on my Facebook Page!

Stampin' Up! Colour Inspiration StampinByHannah

A few weeks ago I filmed a video that demonstrated how to use the fabulous Multipurpose Adhesive sheets… I die cut that gorgeous Berry Burst intricate flower and added it to a piece of Vellum. This piece then sat on my desk for weeks! I wasn’t binning it, too pretty, and I knew it would find its way into a project at some point…. and this was the project. I did cut it again, so that the flower was free and adhered it to the project with a touch of Fine Tip Glue.

Oh So Eclectic Online Card Class sample using Stampin' Up! UK productsThe other flower is unusual too… it uses that Fine Tip Glue Masking technique again! Yes I am obsessed! This flower is also die cut out and added to the card with a dimensional.

The dies in this bundle are fabulous! Not only do some of them cut the stamped images, there are accent pieces too (like that lovely background piece!) and some dies that emboss rather than cut. Plus the die set also coordinates with a second stamp set too (You’re Priceless!)

What is your favourite colour combination to use at the moment? Let me know in the comments below…

Inspire.Create.Challenges #002 | Happy 30th Birthday!

Inspire.create.challenges bold and bright 30th birthday card using Number of years from Stampin' Up!

Hello! It’s time for another Inspire.Create.Challenge! I know, the first one went so quickly…. hope you are going to take part this time around too! Check out the Inspire.Create.Challenges blog for a heap more inspiration with this weeks Sketch Challenge.

Inspire.Create.Challenge 002 Papercraft Sketch challenge

I love a simple sketch… and so designed this sketch to give the Design Team as much freedom as I could without presenting them with a large empty box! At the time of writing this, I haven’t seen what they have made with it, and I cannot wait to see! They are all so talented, and I know that everyone’s creations are going to be so different!

Inspire.create.challenges bold and bright 30th birthday card using Number of years from Stampin' Up!

I really wanted to create something bright! My mum always complains my cards are muted colours… so I might make another version of this one for her birthday coming up! The stamp set at work here is Number of Years, along with the coordinating Large Numbers framelits.

The panel is in Crumb Cake, stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The numbers are the same, but stamped onto Melon Mambo card stock instead.

Inspire.create.challenges bold and bright 30th birthday card using Number of years from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment is then stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and heat embossed in clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. This quick and easy technique creates coloured embossing in any colour! There are two ways to do this:

  1. Ink your stamp in Versamark and then the colour… then add your Embossing Powder
  2. Ink you stamp in your coloured ink and then quickly add your Embossing Powder (this works well on Vellum as inks take a while longer to dry rather than card stock!)

Here the sentiment is heat embossed on Vellum, and stapled to a scrap of Whisper White (anyone else LOVE staples, or is it just me?!).

Nautical Guy Greetings Birthday Card

Guy Greetings Birthday Card using Wood Textures from Stampin' Up!

Guy cards are always a bit of a challenge… and they are even worse when you make a card and get told ‘its not manly enough’. I shared the card I originally made on Saturday… but this is the card that was eventually given to one of my Brother’s in law for his birthday last week!

Nautical Male Birthday card using Guy Greetings from Stampin' Up!

This is a bit of a CASE (copy and selectively edit) of THIS card by Teri Pocock. After I was left without a card, I turned to Pinterest for some inspiration and came across Teri’s card. I love the circle element with the anchor… and the wood! So, Teri used the Hardwood background stamp… but somehow that hasn’t found it’s way into my crafty stash, so I went hunting for a wood alternative and remembered about the lovely Wood Textured Designer Series Paper.

This paper stack is one of the 6 x 6″ ones, and you get loads of different wood effects in the pack. I am going to NEED another stack soon I just know it! So pretty!

Guy Greetings Birthday Card using Wood Textures from Stampin' Up!

The anchor is stamped in Dapper Denim on Watercolour paper, and I then took an almost dry Aquapainter and pulled out some of the colour to give this watercoloured effect. I love doing this with Stampin’ Up! inks… because they are water based they react well with water and allow you to stamp and colour without having to get ink everywhere!

The watercolour paper is cut out with a Stitched Circle, and matted onto a coordinating Dapper Denim circle cut with the Layering Circles dies.

Guy Greetings Nautical Birthday card using Stampin' Up! productsSeeing as it was a special occasion I stamped the anchor on the inside… and on the envelope too!

What’s your go to for making Manly guys cards?

Make It Monday | Oh So Eclectic Layered Tag

Make It Monday Fun watercoloured tags using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Ok, so I have a confession to make…. I was supposed to film a video for Saturday about how to use the Embossing dies that come in the die set I’ve used today… but the end of last week was a bit of a disaster and I didn’t get to it… So, I will leave my top tips for using Embossing dies down at the bottom of this post instead. And I have managed to film 4 How To… videos for Saturday for the next 4 weeks already… I don’t really know how I missed this week! Oh Well…. on with today’s project!

Make It Monday Fun watercoloured tags using Oh So Eclectic from Stampin' Up!

These sweet tags have been made with the Oh So Eclectic bundle from Stampin’ Up! You can find all the directions in the video below… but here are my top tips for using Embossing Dies.

There are 3 dies in the Eclectic Layers thinlits dies that don’t cut (and a couple more in the Build a Bike set too!). These dies are designed to be used the same as a cutting die, but rather than cut they leave an impression of the image instead.

  • Use your standard cutting sandwich in your Big Shot… Magnetic Platform and two standard cutting plates
  • Use a thicker card stock for a better impression… I like using Watercolour paper, Thick Whisper White or Thick Very Vanilla
  • Add Colour with a sponge or brayer after to enhance the embossing

https://youtu.be/oI116Ukmse8

The tags were created with a 2″ wide strip of Watercolour paper… main as this is the width of the Tag Topper Punch! With the embossing dies, a hint of watercolour and some die cuts this project was done in a flash… what is your favourite quick make? Share it with me over on my Facebook Page I would LOVE to see….

Before I go… I just wanted to remind you about my current Card Class… we are using the gorgeous Oh So Eclectic stamp set and die bundle, along with the Layered Leaves embossing folder and a heap of other goodies to make 10 totally individual cards…. you can find out more HERE!

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge | Bold Happy Birthday

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Birthday Card using Happy Birthday thinlit from Stampin' Up!

Stampin' Up! Sketch Challenge

Hello! Welcome to the Simply Sketched Blog Hop for September! This month we have been creating with a fabulous sketch from Dee 

Simply Sketched Saturday Challenge Birthday Card using Happy Birthday thinlit from Stampin' Up!

This card was really quick and simple to put together… once I had die cut all the pieces! I am loving the Happy Birthday thinlit for a quick and easy Birthday card at the moment. Here I cut it 4 times… 3 times in Crushed Curry and once from the gorgeous Champagne Foil. The secret is backing each piece of card stock with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet before you die cut it… this way when you die cut this intricate die, each die cut has adhesive already on the back… basically making your own die cut sticker! This die is really easy to get lined up so stacking them is quick and painless too.

Measurements:

Card Base – Dapper Denim – 21 x 14.85 cm, scored on the long side at 10.5 cm

Whisper White Mat – 10 x 14.3 cm

Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 13.8 cm

Whisper White Mat – 10 x 8 cm

Eastern Palace Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 7.5 cm

I made this card for one of my brother-in-law’s birthday’s which was last week…. but James said it was girly…. so I had to make another! So, this card has no home…. if you would like me to send it to you, comment below with your current favourite adhesive and I will do a draw on Wednesday (4th October!)
