Make It Monday | Quick and Easy Card using Swirly Bird

Make It Monday Card making Video Tutorial Birthday Card using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Happy Bank holiday Monday! I hope you are all planning a lovely relaxing day, I am of course off to work today… the joys of working in Social Care! However, just because it is a bank holiday doesn’t mean that I haven’t made you a fun Make It Monday video, I hope you enjoy this one, I had loads of fun making it!

Make It Monday Card making Video Tutorial Birthday Card using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up!

I was totally inspired by a sample I found on Pinterest, it used a totally different die set, but the idea of using swirly dies as flowers stuck. Swirly Bird currently comes bundles with the Swirly Scribbles dies (to save you 10%) but this bundle retires on the 31st May… you will still be able to get both the stamps and dies, but you won’t be getting that fabulous discount. You can check the Retiring list now, and don’t forget to use my Code Club Code for something extra special too!

Measurements:

Rose Red Card stock: half an A4 sheet, folded in half (21 x 14.8 cm, scored at 10.5 cm)

Whisper White: 10 x 14.3 cm

Make It Monday Video Tutorial card making quick and easy card using Swirly Bird from Stampin' Up! UK

The Happy Birthday sentiment comes from Butterfly Basics (another set I am excited to see carry over into the new Annual Catalogue!), I love the mixture of fonts on this one…. I am such a sucker for a good font… especially when it’s stamped in pink!

3D Friday | Customer Thank You Treats!

3D Friday video Tutorial March Customer Thank you sweet treats using Urban Underground Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Friday! Yay! I have a super quick video for you today… yes it is possible for me to make a video in less than 5 minutes. I think the main reason this one is so quick is that I had an awful tickle-y cough the day I film this and 5 minutes is about the maximum time I went between coughing fits! Oh the joys of making video tutorials! I hope you enjoy!

3D Friday video Tutorial March Customer Thank you sweet treats using Urban Underground Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

These sweet treat packets contain a little something for my customers, and they were part of my Customer Thank You Packs that I sent out in March. I love sending a little something to everyone that shops with me during the month. At the end of each month I make a batch of cards and a cute little something for each person who shopped with me during the month, including those who are part of my Birthday Card Club!

These particular treats use the Urban Underground Designer Series Paper and the Carousel Birthday stamp set (isn’t it fab that that stamp fits into the Decorative Label punch!). This paper is great for guy cards and projects but this dot felt more feminine to me and was perfect for these little gifts

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 3 x 4″ (7.5 x 10 cm)

Score on the short side at: 1 1/4 and 2 1/2″ (3.2 and 6.4 cm)

Make It Monday | How to make 6 Simple Thank You Cards from 1 Sheet of Designer Series Paper

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to Make 6 Simple Thank You Cards using 1 sheet of Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Hello! Welcome to StampinByHannah this week! I hope you have had a great weekend, I am in recovery mode after spending the weekend with my Stampin’ Sisters in Amsterdam (check out my Facebook / Instagram for what we got up to!)

I have a slightly different video tutorial for you today… making 6 cards from start to finish

Make It Monday Video Tutorial How to Make 6 Simple Thank You Cards using 1 sheet of Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Each month I make cards for my Customers as part of my Thank You packets. Everyone who shops with me receives a hand made card, along with a sweet treat and my monthly newsletter. I love sending these out, and they get even better when you use the Code Club Code! This special club starts a fresh each month, all you have to do to join in is add the monthly code at check out, and I will send you something special the following month!

I don’t usually give you measurements for cards, but I mentioned them in the video…. although I make cards in metric measurements (mainly because I use A4) so that is what I have put here

Measurements:

Card Base – Half A4, folded in half (I do this by taking a sheet of A4 and scoring on the short edge at 10.5 cm, and then cutting at 14.85 cm – this why I have scored and cut two cards at once)

Whisper White mat – 10 x 14.3 cm

Designer Series Paper – 9.5 x 13.8 cm

Whisper White stripe (which is the end of the piece of Whisper White when you’ve cut 4 pieces as above) – 1.2 x 10 cm

Make It Monday Video Tutorial making quick and easy cards using Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! UK

I love this Designer Series Paper…. so much that I have been guilty of hoarding it! However, as we approach the end of this years Annual catalogue it’s time to get that DSP used! This particular paper is Floral Boutique and it coordinates with the Floral Phrases stamp set (that also has coordinating dies!). This suite of products is just stunning and would make beautiful wedding stationary.

Right, that’s all for me today, I’m off to unpack and sort of laundry before I start back at the day job tomorrow!

3D Friday Squishy gift bag tutorial using Fresh Fruit from Stampin' Up!

I am loving 3D Friday, I hope you are too! I shared this giftbag project a while ago (it was for a Global Design Project Challenge!) but I realised last week that I never got round to filming the tutorial… so here it is!

3D Friday Squishy gift bag tutorial using Fresh Fruit from Stampin' Up!

This paper of Designer Series Paper has totally grown on me through the course of this years Annual Catalogue, I wasn’t sure fruit themed paper was really my thing, but I have found that I have used it a lot over the past 10 months! This particular pattern is my favourite, and so I have struggled to use it! But the next Annual Catalogue launch is quickly approaching and so I have started my mission to use up my left over Designer Series Paper!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper: 12 x 6″ (30.5 x 15 cm)

Score on the long side at 3 3/4, 5 3/4, 9 1/2 and 11 1/2″ (9.5, 14.5, 24 and 29 cm)

Score on the short side at 1 1/2″ (4 cm)

Flirty Flamingo mat – 2 x 2 3/4″ (5 x 7 cm)

Whisper White layer – 1 3/4 x 2 1/2″ (4.5 x 6.5 cm)

3D Friday large gift bag tutorial using Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday | Acrylic Block Stamping

Make It Monday Video Tutorial watercolour acrylic block stamping with Picture Perfect from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

Welcome to Make It Monday! I was looking at what I could film for this weeks Make It Monday video tutorial, and I realised that I hadn’t looked at any techniques for a while, and seeing as this is one of my favourites, I thought I would share it again today!

Make It Monday Video Tutorial watercolour acrylic block stamping with Picture Perfect from Stampin' Up!

As regular readers will be well aware I love a spot of Watercolouring! and for me that is any technique that mixes ink and water. This card was totally inspired by a card in the most recent edition of Stampin’ Success – the exclusive Demonstrator magazine (one of the many benefits of being part of Stampin’ Up!), and I used the same colour combination; Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Basic Black.

One of the most important things to remember when using ink and water in your card making, it getting the right card stock. Stampin’ Up! have 3 great options; watercolour paper, Thick Whisper White card stock, and Shimmery White card stock – which is what I have used here. Shimmery White has glitter embedded in it, and it is so pretty in real life but its tricky to pick up in photos.

Make It Monday | Carousel Birthday Shaker Card Video Tutorial

Make It Monday Shaker Card tutorial using Carousel Birthday from Stampin' Up!

Make It Monday

I was asked a question about this card a few weeks ago, and I realised that although this video has been on my to film list for months I hadn’t got round to filming it! I had great fun playing with the Carousel Birthday stamp set before OnStage last November, and even more fun when I realised that the ferris wheel stamp matches two of the circle dies from the Layering Circles perfectly!

Make It Monday Shaker Card tutorial using Carousel Birthday from Stampin' Up!

I hope you enjoy the video… and do let me know if there is something else you would like to see. I love talking to you all about my creations, and would LOVE to see what you have made with this stamp set!

The Carousel Birthday stamp set coordinates with the Lift Me Up! Stamp and die bundle… particularly those cute cupcakes.

Right, that’s it from me for today, I have managed to write this blog post in the car…. and I’m starting to struggle with a touch of car sickness!

3D Friday | Sweetie Packets with the Gift Bag Punch Board

3D Friday Sweetie Packets using the Gift Bag Punch Board and Me = Grateful from Stampin' Up! UK

3d-friday

On Monday I shared the card I sent as part of my February Thank You packs for my lovely customers, well today I though I would share the other thing that everyone received this month… a cute little packet containing a sweet treat, that is super simple to make using the Gift Bag Punch Board!

3D Friday Sweetie Packets using the Gift Bag Punch Board and Me = Grateful from Stampin' Up! UK

These are so easy to make! They take literally minutes, and a such a cute way to dress up a pack of sweeties. These ones also use the 2015-2017 In Colours, which are sadly retiring at the end of May (or more likely the beginning, seeing as they are likely to sell out pretty quickly!)

You can click on the names of the colours below to see everything that is available in each colour

The stamp is taken from Me = Grateful and I love that this stamp matched perfectly into the Decorative Label punch (that would be the awesomeness of Stampin’ Up!’s coordination again! LOVE IT!)

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 6 x 6″ (15 x 15 cm)

Using the Gift Bag Punch Board, line the edge of the paper up with the Start Line and punch, then score at the S line and the horizontal. More that score line and line it up with the Start, punch and score at S and horizontal again. Then move that score line to the Start line and punch again. Rotate your paper by 180 and punch at each of the 3 score lines and add the horizontal. Check the video for the assembly instructions
