Stampin' Up! - Hello Summer Journal 2021

 Making a Hello Summer Journal

Hey crafty Friends, recently 

Sara Douglass Stampin' Up!'s CEO

shared a fab Summer Journal, as soon as I saw her video 

I thought I could make that and actually do that, 

I'm not a scrapbooker at all, But love the idea

of this informal way of memory keeping!

I set to find a Kraft Journal 

and found a perfect one on Amazon

link for that HERE

I kept my journal pretty much like Sara's as i loved

it, I did add a few of my own little elements

I added the Strawberries as an additional element

for my Summer here in the UK isnt summer 

without yummy English Strawberries!! I also added one 

of the Bumblebee Trinkets.

My sun is created using the Picture This stitched circle dies

with a star die cut using the Stitched Stars Dies, I cut 

the points off the star to add round the circle, to create 

the Sun burst image!

The Hello is stamped in black ink 

using the Biggest Wish Stamp set

and like Sara's my Summer is die cut using the 

Playful Alphabet dies

I've used the Days to Remember Stamp set

to stamp the 20 21 and I shall definetly 

be using it through my journal to add dates etc 

I cant wait for my photos to arrive so I can 

start my Summer 2021 Journal!

Stamp 'N Hop Blog Hop - Anything goes

Stampin' Up! Sweet Strawberry Shower gel Gift Box

 Welcome to this months Stamp 'N Hop Blog Hop

We our a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from 

all over the world sharing ideas and inspiration

using Stampin' Up! products, you're currently with

me Laura Mackie a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from the UK

This month our theme for the hop is

Anything goes, so I thought I would share 

this cute little gift box I made to hold 

a Body Shop Shower Gel, 

I've enclosed the measurements too 

if you'd like to give it ag go you can 

When I saw the Strawberry Shower gels from Body Shop

I had to buy some, and then I thought how

cute would a little box be to gift it in

I started with a sheet of Basic white cardstock

which I stamped the Strawberries randomly 

over in Real Red Ink, and Old Olive ink for the stalks,

Once happy with the sheet I flicked the background

all over with my Real red Stampin' Blend, I love doing 

this and it just takes away the stalk white background,

To make the box and lid you will need two

sheets of Real Red cardstock, 

Lid 

cardstock 14.2cm x 14.2cm 

which is scored on all 4 sides at 2cm and 4cm

to make the box

cardstock 21cm x 25.5cm

then score 

Landscape @ 6cm, 12cm, 18cm and 24cm

Score portrait @ 1.5cm and 17cm

to cut your Strawberry stamped sheet

you will need one piece for the lid @ 5.7cm x 5.7cm

and 

for the sides 4 pieces @ 6cm x 15cm

I used the Label me Fancy punch to make

the little gift tag again stamped with 

the Strawberry punch, 

Thank you for coming by today, I hope you like 

my gift box, and I've inspired you to go get crafty!

Stampin' Up! Sweet Strawberry Gift Bag and handmade Card

 

Stampin' Up! Sweet Strawberry Gift Bag and handmade Card

Welcome back today for a little more

Sweet Strawberry inspiration!

I love to co-ordinate my cards to my gift packaging

its always very well received by the recipient! the 

recipient here being my Sister and my childrens

Godmother, we had Mothers Day here in the UK

last Sunday and we always spoil her well my children do

I just make a card and pretty packaging! heheh! 

I love the Stampin' Up! Playful Alphabet dies, 

Their perfect if you like me love 

to personalise your makes!  

For the card I die cut the 'Aunty' in Poppy Parade cardstock, 

and then Stamped the 'To an Incredible' 

carefully from the Hydrangea Haven Stamp set, 

as it stamps really to say 'To an Incredible Woman'

I just carefully inked it up so the 

Woman didn't stamp! it turned out perfectly!

I also made this cute Gift Bag, 

I was recently gifted a gift in a handmade gift bag

using 12x12 DSP, and set to creating my own, 

The bag is a great size measuring 8" x 8"

the gusset  / thickness of the bag is almost 5"

so its a great sized bag!

I stamped the strawberries

randomly on a Basic White Cardstock, 

I used Poppy Parade and Old Olive ink pads to stamp

the strawberries..

I didnt love how stark the White background looked

so flicked ink using my Poppy Parade Stampin' Blend 

all over and love the finished effect it gave, it was 

just what it needed ..

I made the tags to match and used the 

Stampin' Up!Playful Alphabet dies again to die 

cut the Aunty this time in Basic White cardstock 

on Poppy Parade Cardstock

My sister loved her Card, Gift bag and her gift!
