Global Design Project 071 – 3D Squishy bag!

Global Design Project 3D challenge Pop of Pink squishy bag

I LOVE taking part in challenges! I am trying to join in with the Global Design Project every single Tuesday (which to be honest is a challenge in itself!) but I am currently also challenging myself in other ways too, I think 2017 might just be the year of the challenge!

Global Design Project 071

I will openly admit that this challenge scared the pants of me (and I almost didn’t bother this week!) 3D is a really struggle for me, I am not blessed with that skill of being able to see a 3D project and then make it! and I had a quick look through my die collection, but there is nothing 3D in there either….. so I turned to Pinterest and remembered THIS fabulous project by my lovely friend Sam, I had been meaning to have a go at this bag, well this was my opportunity!

Global Design Project 3D challenge Pop of Pink squishy bag

The bag itself is really simple;

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, 29 cm)

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

gdp-071-pootles-bag

I have used the Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper (which I have been hoarding, because it is just so damn pretty!) and it sent me onto a bit of a Gold kick! The panel on the front of the bag is 2 x 2 3/4″ and I coated it in Versamark and heat embossed it in Gold embossing powder! The layer on the top is 1 3/4 x 2 1/2″ of Whisper White, and I’ve used the Swirly Bird stamp set to add a touch of Flirty Flamingo (all that Gold was getting a bit too much!)

Thanks so much for checking out my little corner of the internet today, and I hope to see you again soon!

Bold Bauble Christmas Card

Bold Bauble Christmas Card using Happy Ornament from Stampin' Up! UK

I have a super simple card for you today! I love a simple card, with massive impact, and I think this card fits that brief perfectly!

Bold Bauble Christmas Card using Happy Ornament from Stampin' Up! UK

I have a massive goal for myself over the next 6 months. Every 6 Months Stampin’ Up! hold a live event somewhere around the world, and next April their live event is in Amsterdam! I would LOVE to get there, but what with saving up for the new house, and the need for some new furniture for said home, spending the £600 for a long weekend is a little tricky – Why am I telling you this? Well, I’m planning to earn my way to Amsterdam! and that is where you come in! Every time you shop with me, or promote if you are a member of my team – I earn points, and what do points mean? That’s right, points mean that I get my ticket to the Amsterdam event for FREE (I still need to pay for travel and the hotel!). So, I would be so grateful for your support, and all you have to do is shop or join!

Happy Ornament Christmas Card using Stampin' Up! UK products

This card come together really super quickly; Happy Ornament is a single Wood Mount stamp and so it stamps really beautifully onto a piece of Whisper White using Basic Black Archival Ink (and Yes, I am gutted about that thumb print! but I was hoping you wouldn’t notice!). It is a fairly simple shape to fussy cut, add to a background of Designer Series Paper (Pop of Pink!) and add a big and beautiful bow made from Gold Satin Ribbon!

Make It Monday | Tag Topper Chocolate Pockets

Make It Monday Chocolate pocket using the Tag Topper Punch from Stampin' Up! UK

Make It Monday with Stampin' Up!

Hello! Wow, where did last week go?! Oh, well, it’s Monday again – time for Make It Monday!

I spent the weekend with a group of awesome women; crafting, eating and having heaps of fun! I have rambled for hours about how much I LOVE Stampin’ Up! and this weekend was a prime example of why I love it. This weekend wasn’t a Stampin’ Up! organised event, but a team event, organised by one of my lovely Stampin’ friends. Someone I would NEVER have met without this company, and I spend the whole weekend crafting (how often to we get to do that!), it was great to reset, take time for me, and I am so ready for what the next few weeks will bring!

Pop of Paradise Tag Topper Team Swap using Stampin' Up! UK productsHow cute are these! One of the things that we do when we get together is share and swap projects – we call them swaps, and its a massive part of any Stampin’ Up! event. Now, when I go to Stampin’ Up! organised events I make maybe 50 swaps, but because this was a smaller team event I made a swap for each person – so this time I made 22 of these. Actually I made 24, but that meant that I could leave a couple to say Thank You to the housekeepers / receptionist etc at the Hotel we stayed at.

Aren’t they super cute! Each pocket contains a bar of children’s chocolate (the same brand as those eggs with the toy in the middle!) – because chocolate / sweeties are another BIG theme at these events. James laughs at me, he always knows when I’m prepping for a crafty weekend away (he never remembers, no matter how many times I tell him I’m going!) when he sees the bags and bags of sweets sat in the office!

Make It Monday Chocolate pocket using the Tag Topper Punch from Stampin' Up! UK

These pockets use the Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper and coordinating Pop of Paradise Stamp set. I did also make some using the Fruit Stand Designer Series Paper too, seeing as I managed to cut enough paper for 18 pockets and then ran out of paper – Math isn’t my strong point!

Measurements:

Designer Series Paper – 4 x 4 1/2″ (10 x 12 cm)

Score on the long side at 2 and 4″ (5 and 10 cm)

Tag Topper Punch Chocolate Pocket using Stampin' Up! UK products

The pockets are super simple to put together (as you can tell, a 5 minute Make It Monday video! even with my rambling is a miracle!). They are finished with the Tag Topper Punch at the top, and a staple at the bottom. Like I said I made 24 of these and it took me about an hour, from start to finish.

I would LOVE to welcome you to our next crafty weekend! Have you ever thought about joining Stampin’ Up! and becoming a part of my team of Stampin’ Friends? check out my Join My Team page, or drop me a message today, I am sure you won’t regret it!

Make It Monday | Flirty Flamingo

Make It Monday using Pop of Paradise from Stampin' Up! UK

Make It Monday with Stampin' Up!

Hello! Oh, this is such a BIG week here at StampinByHannah! On Wednesday I have a heap of stuff to post as the 2016 Annual Catalogue goes live! I am so excited to shop with you from this awesome new book. I do have a couple of days of sneaky peaks before we get there though….

Starting with today’s Make It Monday!

Make It Monday using Pop of Paradise from Stampin' Up! UKThis card is so fun! I will admit that this Flamingo stumped me when I first came across it in the catalogue. I have had the catalogue in my hands since mid-April, when I attended Stampin’ Up! On Stage, and the girls I was sat with that day will tell you I have absolutely no idea what happened on the stage as I couldn’t pull my eyes away from the catalogue, pen in hand, making notes of things for all of you! But this flamingo, which comes in a set that also includes a Pineapple, had me baffled! And then it appeared in the very short list available for demonstrators available to pre-order, and I didn’t buy it, but then my Facebook and Pinterest feeds filled up with Flamingos, and somehow this dude ended up on my stamp shelf! So, I have it, I MUST use it!

So, this is one of my first cards featuring the Flamingo. But I had this card in my head, particularly the technique I have used on the Flamingo itself.

Flirty Flamingo Pop of Paradise from Stampin' Up! UKThe Flamingo was coloured using the In-Colour Stampin’ Write markers in Flirty Flamingo and Peekaboo Peach. I did a test stamp onto Whisper White, and this effect was just gorgeous, I will probably share that at some point – but not today. The Designer Series Paper on the side of the watercolour paper comes from two different packs (sorry!) the Black stripes are from the Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack, and the other piece with the beautiful gold confetti is from the new Pop of Pink Speciality Designer Series Paper, so super pretty.

I hope you enjoyed my waffle-y video today, I have to apologise that I won’t be posting a Fancy Fold Friday this week, but I do have several other videos coming this week instead!
