Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop – May 2019 Sneak Peek

May 20, 2019 by Mikaela Titheridge 6 Comments

A warm welcome my crafty friends to the Greek Isles Achievers Blog Hop, where the theme is Sneak Peeks.

Greek Isles Achiever, Artisan Design Team Member 2019, Mikaela Titheridge, UK Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen. Supplies available through my online store 24/7

I’ve taken part in Blog Hops like this before when I achieved the Mediterranean Cruise and the Alaskan. It’s a fabulous hop full of achievers of the annual Incentive Trip, with this year being the Greek Isles. Everyone taking part has earned themselves a week-long cruise around the Greek Isles with one other. Just like last year, I shall be taking my husband and son to enjoy some quality time together. I have my Customers, my Team and of course my Family to thank for helping me achieve this. I couldn’t thank them all enough and very much look forward to it.

Today, us achievers are sharing Sneak Peeks from the soon to launch, Annual Catalogue. If you’d like to avoid seeing this sneak peek, then this isn’t the hop for you, but stick with us and you’ll see some wonderful new things.

My Sneak Peek

I have chosen a Stamp Set that I’ve already grown to love. Inspired by Million Sales Achiever Mary Ellen Byler, To a Wild Rose is a beautiful DistINKtive Stamp Set. These achievers get to design a Stamp Set that they’d like to see published. This set offers two/three step stamping, so there’s plenty of scope for different effects.

I have recently started up Facebook Lives on my Business Page and created these in the past week. When teamed with a few retiring favourites, these beautiful flowers are allowed to shine.

Here I have teamed up three vibrantly coloured flowers with the retiring Share What you Love Specialty Paper. A simple Crumb Cake colour print helped anchor the vibrancy of the flowers. Golden tones of Mango Melody and Pineapple Punch lead me towards the Gold heat embossed sentiment.

Sparkly gold was needed … so I die cut the word amazing from Gold Glimmer paper for this second card. Sadly this gorgeous Die from the Celebrate You Thinlits is retiring this month. I absolutely love this die. I loved how this pretty font, sat on the delicate die that I used to layer white on white beneath it.

These cards have already hit the post, with one going to someone who was watching my Facebook Live that day. I just can’t seem to get enough of this set right now and I just know that once you get playing with it, you too will fall in love with it.

Now let’s hop on over to one of the other Achievers for some more Sneak Peeks. With an abundance of lovely new things coming, there’s sure to be something to delight you. Do enjoy the rest of the hop and thanks for stopping by my website today … your support means a lot.

    Love your beautiful card. What did you use to make the center of your flowers so pretty? Is that a stap?

      Thank you so much Bonnie. I simply used Soft Suede Ink and repeatedly stamped it around in a circle to soften the look. Nothing special or complicated. Its an image from the same stamp set that’s for the middle of the flowers. I hope that helps x

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?
