Hello Annual Catalogue 2016-2017 Week 4 – Nice and Simple

June 24, 2016 by Mikaela Titheridge 12 Comments

Welcome to the Hello! Annual Catalogue 2016-2017 Blog Hop. You’ll be hopping around 10 amazing Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrator’s Blogs, each with an Inspirational Project, featuring new catalogue products.
Currently you’re visiting Mikaela Titheridge from Cambridgeshire, UK, Hello there! You can continue hopping by using the next and previous buttons at the bottom of this post, but first take a look here at what I’ve been making to share with you. 

This year seems a year for 25th Wedding Anniversaries with my Brother’s and at least 5 other friends that I can think of, Love really is in the air right now.
I sought some colour inspiration before picking up the Sunshine Sayings Stamp set and Framelit Bundle and started to play. 
It’s so easy sometimes to over think a design, when in actual fact, a ‘Nice and Simple’ design can often be the most effective. 
I used the stripes from Playful Backgrounds, before simply layering up the die cut images. 

I just love these words … so fitting for a 25th Wedding Anniversary and with these colours, so very cheerful.

I hear hubby and I say this all the time, like some competition of who loves the other more. 
I couldn’t decide what colour to use on the previous cards and when I saw what was left before me, I saw an additional card coming together using the remaining die cut words. I really like how scraps created this. 

Thank you for visiting today, I hope you found what I had to share inspiring. Please now hop on over to the very talented and gorgeous Louise Sharp to see what beautiful creation she has to share. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group, that you’ll not want to miss out on .. so I hop you’ll enjoy!

Those of you who know me well, will know I love co Those of you who know me well, will know I love colour … but what colour sofa do you think I chose for the new Craft Snug? 

Cream
Olive
Teal 
Pink

My WHY for doing what I do has always been to be around for my family. Being way down the end of the garden has been wonderful but there has always been something missing …. the closeness of the boys. 

My new room, our converted garage, will be a multi functional space. A Snug and Craft Den all in one. One end for hubby to sit and watch tv when I want or need to craft. A space for us to be together in those cold dark evenings when being alone in the summerhouse has been no fun. I can’t wait and feel sure I will be far more productive. 

Kitting this room out has been both fun and challenging but what colour scheme do you think I’ve gone for? Our neutral walls blend with the rest of the house but what colour sofa do you think sets the scene for this new space? 

It all kicks off next week, when we take delivery of our new sofa and the new window goes in. This afternoon we finish measuring up for my new craft storage, as it’s only my desk that will move with me, none of my Kallax units. 

Exciting times but could you make this drastic move from such a large space to this much smaller space like me?

I've been having fun with the Joseph's Coat Techni I've been having fun with the Joseph's Coat Technique for the All Star Tutorial Blog Hop. This month we are showcasing the Garden Walk suite and I create two quite different cards here. One dark and moody and one quite bright and fresh. This really shows the versatility of this fabulous bundle.

A saying that I’ve lived by and am often saying A saying that I’ve lived by and am often saying to our son “If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got”. 

Change can be scary but change can also be very exciting. It’s a tough one that I know many won’t understand but it’s time for change for me and this change excites me. Having worked in a wonderfully spacious summerhouse at the end of our garden for many many years, it’s time to move into the heart of our home … to a much much smaller space. Throughout this transition I will share just why. 

Follow to see how I manage to transition from my usual spacious cabin to just one end of this room. Yes, just one end, for this room will be multi functional. I’m going full circle back to where this all began and I cannot wait!! Of course there are things about the summerhouse that I will miss, but there is way more to look forward to. I invite you to follow and see just how I organise my new craft room. 

Excitement is brewing and hubby is working hard to get some wall panelling fixed in place before the carpet and furniture starts to be installed.

From #ArtisanDesignTeam member Mikaela Titheridge (@thecraftyoinkpen): “Create a reverse-masked background by die cutting or punching an aperture from a piece of copy paper and laying this over your cardstock. Blend ink to form a colored panel and repeatedly stamp over this before removing your mask. Add a collage of die-cut, watercolored images, a sentiment panel, and some embellishments, and see your reversed, masked panel come to life.”

Had enough of making Christmas Cards and want to m Had enough of making Christmas Cards and want to make something for your festive table? Then why not consider creating some coordinating festive napkin rings using the Paper Florist Dies?

Over on my blog today is my Artisan project that I created a few months back where I teamed up the Paper Florist Dies with Christmas Pinecones and Textured Floral dies. I knew I didn't want the standard Holly, Berries and Pine sprig foliage. 

What colours will your table decor be?
