Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop – Birthday Bonanza

February 25, 2017 by Mikaela Titheridge 8 Comments

Welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Design Team Blog Hop and this month we’re having a Birthday Bonanza. 

You may have hopped on over from the lovely Caro and already been spoilt to some fabulous inspiration and if not and you’re starting the hop here, then you’ve got some delights in store. 

Every milestone Birthday deserves a little something special, well this card, makes use of the lovely Love Sparkles Stamp Set. I adore the little sparkles feel to this font.

Coupled with this gorgeous Bokeh effect Designer Series Paper from the Falling in Love pack, it really screams out, special celebration card.
I really love the soft colours of this card and the little scattering of stars, that I wanted to carry forward to the inside of the card.
Such a simple little card and one that I’m sure will be appreciated by it’s recipient. 
If there is something here that you’d like to purchase, then be sure to click on the product image below to be taken to my online store and remember to use my Host Club Code at checkout to receive a gift from me. 
Don’t forget to hop on over to the very talented Pip and continue round the hop for more inspiration. Enjoy and do leave us a comment or two … we’d love to hear what you think of our shares.

    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?

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?
