Make It Monday | Square Bottomed Gift Bag

Hello! Welcome to this weeks Make It Monday!
A few weeks ago I attended a Crafty Retreat with 40 of my Stampin’ Sisters, and the next few Make It Mondays are things that have been inspired by project from that weekend. This particular project was inspired by a Swap I received from the lovely Jane Carroll.

This fun mini gift bag starts off as a pretty standard bag, the trick is in the closing….. Instead of pinching the top, or punching a hole and threading some ribbon, the box is flattened. I have kept it closed with a staple, but you could us a clip or ribbon.

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 5 1/2 x 6″ (14 x 15.5 cm)

Score on the short side at: 1 1/4, 2 1/2, 3 3/4 and 5″ (3, 6, 9 and 12 cm)

Score on the long side at: 1 1/4″ (3 cm)

The Designer Series Paper for the black bag is from A Whole Lot of Lovely, while the white one is Naturally Eclectic. The sentiment is taken from Lovely Inside and Out.

My favourite part of this bag though has to be those cute paper bows. They are super easy to create using the Bow Builder Punch; check the video for how I put them together. I do have a couple of tips though, I would use TomBow glue to stick them together (rather than the glue dots I used for speed in the video), and give the pieces time to dry before assembling the bow. Use a bone folder to create a natural bend in card stock, and use card stock rather than Designer Series Paper.

Make It Monday | Mini Chocolate Pouches

Pootles Papercraft Team Craft Retreat Swaps using Happy Birthday Gorgeous from Stampin' Up!

Hello! I am super excited for this week at StampinByHannah…. I have BIG plans for the upcoming month, and we have a couple of totally AWESOME offers from Stampin’ Up! too

How cute are these?! I made 45 of these for my Stampin’ Sisters that attended our team Craft Retreat last weekend… I hope that they liked them. Actually I know that one of the recipients loved them – I made a few extra for some of the Pootles children, and one of them did a lovely video to say thanks (yes, it made me cry… a lot! but that’s me at the moment, very emotional, I’m putting it down to extreme stress….. hoping that is going to be over really soon…but that’s a completely different story!)

The actual swaps used the Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper, but I think I have seen a little TOO MUCH of that paper recently and just couldn’t face making them again! So I have changed things up a bit for the tutorial and have used the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper instead…. Enjoy!

Just a quick video from me on this Monday…. but I have another 2 videos coming to you this week, so I hope that that makes up for it!

Hello! Well, this weekend was a busy one…. I have been away on a Team Crafty Retreat with my Stampin’ Sisters. I LOVE spending time with my crafty buddies, talking stamping, and making lots and lots of pretty things…. I will be sharing more of what we got up to later in the week, along with my little team swap!

Back to today, I have a quick video for you this week! I made a stack of these cute envelopes for the lovely ladies who shopped with me in May, I hope they arrived safely!

Ok, so I have a confession to make…. I filmed this weeks ago, and I haven’t been able to post it because this fabulous Daisy Punch is currently out of stock! I hate showing you things that you can’t get your hands on…. but I have run out of filmed projects! I know, I know, I really need to get back on top of things this week…. Filming days already scheduled for Saturday! I hope that the punch will be back really soon… in the meantime though, the stamp set is available, as is that super pretty Designer Series Paper!

How to…. Make a Shabby Chic card using Stampin’ Up! supplies

How To video tutorial making a shabby chic card using Awesomely Artistic from Stampin' Up!

Good morning! I hope you don’t mind that I haven’t titled this weeks video tutorial ‘Make It Monday’ …. but it just didn’t really fit this week… what do you think?

A few weeks ago my wonderful Stampin’ Sister Amanda earned herself a place on the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip – something I would LOVE to achieve – she has worked so hard in her 12 months as a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, and I thought that she deserved a special Congratulations card…. and seeing as she is the Queen of YouTube, a video was also fitting!

There are a couple of stamp sets at work here…. mainly Awesomely Artistic, but the sentiment is taken from Bunch of Blossoms… and I couldn’t pass up using that fab new label punch either!

I love how the smallest Stitched circle die fits this punch perfectly…. Stampin’ Up! coordination at its very best!

I hope you have enjoyed today’s card and video… Don’t forget to leave a comment and I will see you again tomorrow!

Make It Monday | Quick and Easy Thank you cards

Hello! I feel like its been ages since I have filmed a proper Make It Monday! This weekend I have been filming and making like a crazy woman…. June is busy with James having a couple of weekends off, and a crafty retreat later in the month – meaning that I needed to get some serious work done ready!

This is my Thank You card for the wonderful ladies and gentlemen that shopped with me in May. They are super simple to stamp, as you can see from the video, they were quick to make! They use 3 of the 5 new In-Colours; Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist and Powder Pink. The stamp set is Oh So Ecletic…. which I have had for a couple of months but never managed to get inky! I know, it’s shocking, but I was waiting for the matching thinlits dies! Oh, well, they arrive this week so expect to see many many more cards with this stamp set really soon!

Measurements:

Card Base – 10.5 x 29.7 cm (half a sheet of A4) scored on the long side at 14.85 cm

Designer Series Paper – 14.8 x 3 cm

Fresh Fig Card stock – 14.8 x 1 cm

The Designer Series Paper I have used here is from the In-Colour Designer Series Paper Stack; Fresh Florals. I am in LOVE with this paper, but I do want you to know that there it does have a ‘watercolour wash’ effect and the more solid papers don’t appear as solid colours… there has been much debate about this paper among demonstrators over the last month, I am totally in love with it, I love the watercolour effect and when you cut the paper up the effect becomes much more subtle.

I hope you love this card as much as I do, and if you have ordered from me during May you’re cards are hitting the post office today, so watch out for them arriving later in the week.

Make It Monday | Backgrounds with small stamps….

Make It Monday Video Tutorial making backgrounds with small stamps using Eastern Beauty from Stampin' Up!

Hello! long time no see… totally my fault of course, but I am back this week with my Make It Monday video and some fabulous sneak peak projects from the upcoming Annual Catalogue

I had loads of fun making this card, which is good really seeing as I have ended up making the exact same card 3 times… I explain why in the video

Top tips for creating fun backgrounds using small stamps:

use stamps of different sizes, stamping the larger stamps first and using smaller stamps to fill the gaps
choose whether you are looking for a regular pattern like I have for this card, or something more random
Stamp the same stamps in the same colours, but make sure that there are different colours across the stamped piece…. this card would look very different if all the stamping was in the same colour

The fabulous Eastern Palace bundle offer is still available too. These 2 exclusive bundles will end on the 31st May, although the items can also be found in the new catalogue, the bundles wont be.

I am also offering a FREE Online Card Class for anyone who purchases either of these bundles. You can find all the details for those over on my Online Card Class page.

3D Friday | Tealight Box Revisited!

3D Friday Video Tutorial Pootles Inspired Tealight box using Jar of Love from Stampin' Up!

When I first started by my Blog and YouTube channel I created a cute little box for some tealights… and while the video wasn’t great and the photos were… hmmm, lets not go there! I LOVED it! So, now that my skills have vastly improved, I thought I would revisit this project from 3 years ago, altering the measurements a little for some slightly bigger tea lights!

As I mentioned yesterday I have cleared most of my craft room of things that have retiring, or are retiring… however every now and again I might reach into the box of goodies we are saying goodbye to… which I have done with one of these boxes. I filmed this video tutorial a few weeks ago, and it is impossible to predict how quickly something might sell out, and the Designer Series Paper (Blooms and Bliss) on the blue box is limited stock! Grab it now before it goes, it’s so pretty!

Measurements:

Card stock – 5 3/4 x 6 1/4″ (14.5 x 15.5 cm)

Score on the short side at – 1, 2 5/8, 3 5/8, and 5 1/4″ (2.5, 6.5, 9 and 13 cm)

Score on the long side at – 1/2, 1 1/2, 4 3/4 and 5 3/4″ (1, 3.5, 12 and 14.5 cm)

The second box, made on video, uses the Jar of Love stamp set to create a fun background in Rich Razzleberry.

Make It Monday | Faux Shadow Embossing Technique

Make It Monday Video Tutorial creating a fun thank you card using the faux shadow embossing technique with Thankful Thoughts and Playful Backgrounds from Stampin' Up!

Hello! Welcome to another Make It Monday here at StampinByHannah! I have a great card project for you this week, along with a quick, simple and fun technique using heat embossing!

I found this card on Jennifer McGuires Blog a few weeks ago, and thought it looked simple enough! So I had a go….

The background on this card was almost a piece of Designer Series Paper… but with the Retiring List, lots of papers have already sold out and I didn’t want to share something you might not be able to get! So, instead I created by own DSP using the Playful Backgrounds stamp set, stamped in Emerald Envy and Early Espresso.

The sentiment is the main focus of this card. To create the Faux Shadow effect the sentiment is first stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with clear powder. Then, and this is where a stamp positioning tool like the Stamp-a-ma-jig is super helpful, you stamp again but offset it slightly, heat emboss again in a colour…. and as if by magic it looks super dimensional! Awesome!

The Sentiment is also on a die cut from the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies (I LOVE these!) to give it a little extra something!
I hope you love my card project today, don’t forget to check out the video for more details about the technique.

3D Friday | Green and Blacks Mini Chocolate Gift Bags

I have made several confessions to you, my lovely blog readers, over the past few months…. I can’t remember if I have said this one before…. I am a chocoholic! I LOVE anything chocolate, or chocolate flavoured, or really any form of chocolate really. And that is why today’s tutorial is a bit of a miracle…. chocolate has survived in my craft room long enough for me to make a cute project using it! (actually I have more than one, keep you posted on those soon!)

3D Friday Video Tutorial Mini Chocolate Gift Bags using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

I love this paper (not quite as much as I love chocolate… but almost!) but it has sadly already sold out! Seriously, if you haven’t checked the retiring list yet you really need to before those stamps you’ve had your eye on for a couple of months disappear! This paper, this very pretty paper will be back though…. check the video for a sneaky peak!

Designer Series paper – 4 x 4″ (10 x 10 cm)

Score on the 1st side at – 1/2, 1 3/4, 2 1/4 and 3 1/2″ (1.2, 4.5, 5.7 and 9 cm)
