Creation Station Blog Hop – Something Old and Something New

June 4, 2017 by Mikaela Titheridge 13 Comments

 Mikaela Titheridge, UK Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen, Creation Station Blog Hop, Birthday Memories for Something Old, Something New
A warm welcome to the Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop, Something Old, Something New and if you’ve arrived from the wonderfully talented Valerie Moody‘s blog, then you’ll have already been spoilt to some fabulous inspiration. If you’re starting here, then welcome and be sure to hop right round and take in all that the team have to offer you this month, as we give you … Something Old, Something New.
Today is an very exciting day for me, as I personally present to you something very new … You have arrived here at my new blog and website that has only gone live today and in readiness for this hop, so I’ve said a fond farewell to my old blog, which has served me well for 5 years and kicked off this newly designed blog with a beautifully fitting theme for a hop. I am super excited to be sharing this with you, along with my first ever Logo. This year, having celebrated 5 years with Stampin’ Up! I felt that I needed to finally give myself a logo to support my business name and I’m thrilled with it. So lots of lovely things that are new to share with you today, which I hope you’ll like.
Lets kick off my post with what gave me inspiration for this hop. Well, you could interpret Something Old, Something New in many ways … combining old product with new, perhaps a wedding theme or perhaps using something old as inspiration for something new, which is what I did.
Mikaela Titheridge, UK Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen. Something Old, Something New with Birthday Memories
This cute little envelope box was something I made a long while back, with a removable belly band to store some thank you notes in … so I set to work with the beautifully nostalgic product Suite, Birthday Memories. I felt that stepping back in time with something nostalgic, would again be Something Old.
Stampin' Up! Birthday Memories Product Suite for the Creation Station Blog Hop
At OnStage Amsterdam in April, I was honoured to have undertaken a product suite presentation and fell in love with this product suite. It was this little girl that reminded me of Lucie Attwell’s illustrations, that I recall seeing on the wall of my Great Aunt’s house.
I decided that the belly band of this box, would be much, much deeper to help show off the pattern of the Designer Series Paper and the circular centre would be the Dollie. Doillies were something I recall seeing much more as a kid when being presented with cakes.

Inside I added a set of Birthday cards and envelopes and lined the base of the box with the same Designer Series Paper as the belly band.

This card was actually one of the two Make & Take cards that I had available for my ladies to make at my recent Catalogue Launch Party. Such a simple little card to make and showcased how you can die cut the Designer Series Paper of this product suite using the coordinating Framelits. Stampin’ Up! think of it all.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed my offering for you today and that you’ve felt at ease here in my new website. I’m sure as I get used to it, things will develop further … but for now, I’m delighted.

As much as I don’t want you to leave, please do ensure you hop on over to see what Jennifer Downey has in store for you with her interpretation of the theme. Enjoy the hop and thanks for hopping on by.

    This gift box and cards are so sweet with the Birthday Memories paper images. I also love that Stampin’ Up! made the framelits to fit the paper images too.

    Love your Blog name. I don’t have a blog as yet but have always said it would be called “Pig in mud” because that’s the feeling i get when i’m in my craft room (or “Jennygran’s making room” as one of the grandchildren calls it).Love you card and box set. All the best with the new blog!

      Hi Jenny, Thank you so much. It was a name that stuck like mud five years ago and hasn’t changed since. Our home is built on the land of a former Pig Farm, so I too feel like a Pig in Mud when in my haven of a craft room, which often resembles a Pig Sty x

      Aww Thank you Kathy. Sometimes it takes us a while to come up with a design, so to work upon a design you’ve previously managed to come up with and improve on it, seemed only right. I’m delighted that you like the new take on it so much x
