Artisan Design Team Blog Hop – Gather Together

October 17, 2019 by Mikaela Titheridge 12 Comments

Welcome to the Artisan Design Team Blog Hop and a month where we gather together to showcase suites from the Seasonal Holiday Catalogue. Boy, are you in for a treat with today’s hop.

Mikaela Titheridge, The Crafty oINK Pen, UK Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and Artisan Design Team Member 2019

I just know that you’re going to love the colours that Manuela used to create her beautiful projects. She’s so talented. We were each assigned a different suite and for me, I was given the gorgeous Autumnal Gather Together Suite. Leaves and Pumpkins,  I decided to home in on the leaves of this set. The idea was to step away from the colours used in the catalogue and to use something entirely different.  It was quite hard not to throw in a Green, a brown or rusty colour, so immediately thought of cold Blue and White. Wanting some warmth to this colour combo, I threw in some Copper for good measure.

The detail that can be achieved from the leaf dies if spritzed with water beforehand is amazing and well worth the effort. I started these projects by simply die cutting a whole load of leaves and heat embossing white on vellum. This first sentiment being long and thin lent itself to a DL card of greater length. I wanted there to be a central focus with the sentiment and a real clustering of leaves surrounding it. Hard not to use the Designer Series Paper, but when trying to avoid the same colours I chose the more neutral of patterns and colours. The simple polka dot didn’t detract from the beauty of the leaves. and the wispiness from the heat embossing.

Of course, the Copper Leaf Embellishments worked perfectly with. this suite. It’s a shame that you can’t see the detail in the white leaves here … they are just beautiful.

Gather together some more die cut leaves to create this perfect little wreath and one I’ve used for a Get Well Card. Yes, it’s the season for coughs and colds, so I’m sure we’ll be needing a few Get Well Cards soon enough. Again, some more textured die-cutting was achieved by spritzing the paper before cutting. The impression is so deep.

It was hard to capture the Early Espresso card base here, that’s appearing more black than brown.

By opening out one of the Pillow Boxes that Stampin’ Up! sell and using it as a template, I created my own Early Espresso Pillow Box of the same size. Wrapping the Designer Series Paper around it, trimmed with yet more copper, I set to clustering some more leaves together. This sentiment was simply stamped on a tiny strip of white cardstock for a very peeled back gift tag. I couldn’t resist but attach a copper leaf to the end of each Bow tail. It’s the little details like this that I love.

Well, I hope that if this set hasn’t caught your eye because of the colours it’s been showcased in, that you have seen it in a whole new light now.

I hope you’ll enjoy the rest of the hop and all the fabulous colours and inspiration that we have on offer.

Those of you who know me well, will know I love co Those of you who know me well, will know I love colour … but what colour sofa do you think I chose for the new Craft Snug? 

Cream
Olive
Teal 
Pink

My WHY for doing what I do has always been to be around for my family. Being way down the end of the garden has been wonderful but there has always been something missing …. the closeness of the boys. 

My new room, our converted garage, will be a multi functional space. A Snug and Craft Den all in one. One end for hubby to sit and watch tv when I want or need to craft. A space for us to be together in those cold dark evenings when being alone in the summerhouse has been no fun. I can’t wait and feel sure I will be far more productive. 

Kitting this room out has been both fun and challenging but what colour scheme do you think I’ve gone for? Our neutral walls blend with the rest of the house but what colour sofa do you think sets the scene for this new space? 

It all kicks off next week, when we take delivery of our new sofa and the new window goes in. This afternoon we finish measuring up for my new craft storage, as it’s only my desk that will move with me, none of my Kallax units. 

Exciting times but could you make this drastic move from such a large space to this much smaller space like me?

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.”

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?
