Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop – Non Traditional Festive

September 29, 2018 by Mikaela Titheridge 9 Comments

A warm welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where we’re sharing non traditional festive makes this month.

Monthly Papercrafting Inspiration by the Stampin' Creative

If you get fed up of seeing Red, Gold and Green, then this is the hop for you. Loaded with inspiration, you’re in for a treat.

What is your Non Traditional Festive Colour Palette?

Do you have a colour palette at Christmas that you warm to? Last year hubby and I decided to change the colours on our Christmas Tree. For many years we had used Red and Gold ornaments, but last year we hung frosted snowflakes of generally white or neutral colours. It has made for quite a difference that we loved.

Non Traditional Festive Christmas Card using Peaceful Noel by Mikaela Titheridge, #6UK Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen. Supplies available through my online store 24/7

Having used Peaceful Noel stamp set this week during my monthly class, I pulled upon it again for this project. I loved randomly stamping on one of the quick and simple cards during class, so switched up the colours a little.

The aperture is edged with silver foil, that has been duplicated with little Silver Embossed berries. I love the soft, subtle colours of this.

I did wonder if Blueberry Bushel would be a good alternative to Night of Navy.

This photo shows the little embossed berries clearer. You could say that I’m totally addicted to the stitched basic shape framelits? They’re probably my most used dies of all time.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s hop and the inspiration that we’ve all offered. Do make sure you hop around the blogs of the others. We’d love to know what you think and what your traditional colours would be.

Have a great weekendMikaela Titheridge, UK Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen. Stampin' Up! Products available through my online shop 24/7

I may have been quieter than normal with my crafti I may have been quieter than normal with my crafting but I recently designed a series of cards for Die Cutting Essentials Magazine using the Fern & Flora Bundle by Stampin' Up!

I adore the botanical feel of these dies and what you can create with them. This wreath card screams whispy fresh air combined with richness, I just loved creating it. Would you welcome a botanical card like this for your birthday?
