Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop – Favourites of the Season

October 27, 2018 by Mikaela Titheridge 13 Comments

A warm welcome to October’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop, where this month we are sharing our favourites of the season. The Seasonal Catalogue is in full swing and I can firmly say, that I have my favourites of the season.

Monthly Papercrafting Inspiration by the Stampin' Creative

I’m sure these girls above have fabulous inspiration to share of their favourites, so be sure to hop around.

For me, my firm favourite from the Autumn/Winter Catalogue is the First Frost Suite. The papers have really captured my eye with the dual sided frosted finish and the delicate images. These images would team well with the faux silk technique, which I’d not done for a while. I created a little note card wallet a month back, that I’d been asked the measurements of, so decided to include them here.

I love the faux silk technique. It helps give a real vintage look to a project. To create this you simply crumple up tissue paper that you then lay over your pre stamped matting layer, that has a layer of adhesive over. The most ideal being the adhesive sheets that we currently stock. The creases and folds help give that illusion of raw silk – it’s a beautiful effect.

I’ve always felt that the Pool Party ribbon colour, is a real vintage colour. I wanted a delicate lace or frill to appear on the side of this project, so punched this edging out of vellum. I liked the softness that this created.

Inside this Note Card Holder, I’ve added some coordinating note cards, complete with the same ribbon and vellum edging and faux silk finish. Really simple little cards, but ever so effective.

Note Card Wallet Tutorial

This note card wallet generated a lot of requests for measurements, which you’ll find below.

The cardstock you need measures 7 1/2″ x 8 1/4″ and is then scored at 3 7/8″ and 4 3/8″ along the 8 1/4″ side and at 5 1/4″ and 5 1/2″ on the shorter side.

You then want to measure 1″ out at the bottom from the two vertical score lines and drawing a line across the top horizontal line, join the corner to the 1″ mark and cut this section out.

You then need two smaller pieces measuring 1 1/4″ x 2″, scored at 1/2″ and 3/4″. These pieces form the sides of the note card holder.

Attach each smaller piece to the bottom edge and folding it up, secure it in place to form your pocket.

This would make a great little gift to give with your favourites of the season in and such a simple little wallet to create too.

I hope you’ve enjoyed what I’ve shared with you today and that you’ll get making your own version. You’ll now want to work your way down the Hop list to see what other inspiration there is on offer from the girls. Thanks for hopping by.

Have a great weekend.

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.”

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.
