Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop – April Showers

April 28, 2018 by Mikaela Titheridge 5 Comments

Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where April Showers you with departing colours and all things weather related. You are currently on the blog of Mikaela Titheridge, a UK Demonstrator, based in Cambridgeshire. Do you want to see who’s hopping with us this month? Take a look at the full line up further down this post, you’re in store for some fabulous inspiration.

Monthly Papercrafting Inspiration by the Stampin' Creative

We have had a real mix of weather here in the UK. We’ve been blessed with high temperatures and glorious sunshine last week and today, real April showers.

Well, we are showered with baby news too … baby news of a Royal nature. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed to the world, their third baby, Louis Arthur Charles. It’s this wonderful news that inspired my creative share for you today.

Sunshine and showers bring about bright, beautiful rainbows and having seen a mobile like this on Pinterest, I couldn’t not have a go at making one myself.

With strips of cardstock cut ever shorter and stapled at the ends, you’ll create an arc as deep as you choose. Adhere some cotton wool balls using a Hot Glue Gun. The Balloon Punch upside down, is perfect for making these honeycomb raindrops.

Being such a bright mobile, it needed an equally bright and cheerful card to accompany it. I really couldn’t decide what colour umbrella the Royal Baby should be hanging from, so chose the multicoloured Birthday Memories Designer Series Paper. Those aren’t raindrops you see … oh no, they are Dazzling Diamond hearts of love showered over him.

These are three sets that I have loved from the current catalogue and three I’ve not used anywhere near enough. In fact, I’d be hard pushed to part with them. Yes, all three of these sets are on the current retirement list, so if you’ve seen something here that you like, then you’d better be quick in purchasing them. How do you go about buying them? You’ll find the products used further down this page that will take you directly to my online store.

So lets see what other delights April Showers us with by hopping over to one of the rest of the Hop participants. We’ve a great line up for you this month, so enjoy and don’t forget to leave us a message or two to let us know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by. Stay dry and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

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?

It's Secret Santa time and for the Artisan Design It's Secret Santa time and for the Artisan Design Team 2023, they're holding a Secret Santa CASE. 

Each provided with a name of one of our fellow Team members and requested to go back through their year's Artisan Assignments, we had to select just one to CASE. To CASE is to Copy and Share Everything, putting our twist on the inspiration. 

I had the fabulous @autour.du.papier to CASE and chose to use the Joy of Christmas Bundle to case her Corporate post from March 2023, which you can see by swiping left.

As one Advent Door opens, another one closes. Sp As one Advent Door opens, another one closes. 

Spilling onto the dining room table and the lack of storage, all came at a time when I decided to clip my wings and take voluntary redundancy from an almost 20 year flying career. 

My Redundancy money would help fund the exciting chapter that awaited me. The construction of the Summerhouse. 

Built on the land of a former Pig Farm, The Crafty oINK Pen was born. 

An exciting few weeks as the build came together. Soon the summerhouse would be filled with fun and laughter and plenty of creativity. It’s seen a few changes over the years as I added to improve storage and I’ve shared that time with many both in person and virtually. It’s been a wonderful space to design in and I’ll cherish those years with fondly but change can be exciting … 

Follow to see what changes are in store and help me as I build a new future and one that I’m excited about.
