Stamping Sunday – Colour Crush

by 6 Comments

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Colour Crush Blog Hop where this month we share our inspiration using new colours.

Stamping Sunday Mikaela Titheridge, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator UK

I love the addition of our new In-colors every year. Five fresh new colours to liven up our amazing colour offering. I share here just how beautiful these new In-Colors are and some of the products that they appear in.

Cutting a sheet of the new 2022-2024 In Color Designer Series Paper, I added a 3/4″ strip of cardstcok across this layer.

From Basic White cardstock, I then cut and adhered flat this stunning detailed wreath from the Naturals Prints Dies. The Stitched Stylish Shapes Circle Die I’d chosen fitted perfectly in the middle and comfortably took this amazing sentiment.

The sentiment, from the Flowering Tulips Stamp Set was stamped in the same colour as the patterned paper. A coordinating Ribbon and Twine bow was added before a scattering of Iridescent Rhinestones.

You Can Create it this month with our Quarterly Papercraft kit and the New In-Colors 2022-2024.

This month’s kit we are creating with three of the fabulous new In-colors from the New Annual Catalogue.

You Can Create it Quarterly Papercraft Kit with In Colors

Welcome to Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide and Orchid Oasis both Cardstock and Glimmer Paper. There really doesn’t look much here to play with but teamed with our incidental packet and a whole load of inspiration, you’ll be amazed at what you can create.

Using Die Shapes

Using just these colours and the new Stitched Stylish Shapes Dies, I set to work cutting three sizes of circles. Taking the Pretty Flowers Embossing Folder, I embossed a selection of the circles, leaving others blank.

ycci In color circle shape note cards

Using tone on tone stamping, I took the same colour ink and stamped flowers over the remaining cardstock circles. The new Sending Smiles Stamp set had this wonderful mix of tiny flowers and slightly bigger flowers.

YCCI Quarterly Papercraft Kit using the new In Colors for some cute note cards

The sentiment came from the same Sending Smiles Stamp set and was die cut with a long die from the Sending Dies. Another new In-color, Starry Sky, was used to stamp the sentiment.

YCCI Quarterly Papercraft Kit using In colors and die shapes

Adhering some circles flat, some overlapping and overs raised on Dimensionals, I created this wonderful formation. From the scraps I had left, I die cut the tiny flowers that I used to scatter as embellishments.

The mix on Stamped, Embossed and Glimmer circles brings lots of interest and texture to the card.  I hope these cards have inspired you to get creative with your Circle Shape Dies and a stamp set and embossing folder.

Creation Station – Inspired by Leftovers, bits and bobs

by 5 Comments

Welcome to the Creation Station Blog Hop, where this month we’re Inspired by Leftovers, bits and bobs.

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

If you’ve hopped over from Sara Nell Langland then I expect you’ve been inspired with lots of lovely leftovers.

Often we start a project and change our minds, stamp too many to allow for spares or die cut elements that generate negative spaces. Today’s Blog Hop is designed to make us look at what leftovers, bits and bobs you have on our craft desk that you could make use of.

A single flower of Thanks

My March class saw us create a wreath with beautiful tulips on. Seldom do I complete my class project, so I had several flower heads and leaves left over. A couple of cut down Paper Lattice pieces and one full piece, I decided to use this upon a Soft Suede card base to form a matting layer. Texture can help give interest to a card.

Greetings card made using scraps from my craft desk. Tulips

Small pieces of ribbon can easily be used as a swish behind a die cut label. Adding a smudge of Blue Ink to this panel helped set the scene for my single Tulip Flower. I stamped the stem in Granny Apple Green and used my scraps to complete the flower.

A recent blog hop required me to create two cards for the effort of one. The positive and negative ‘Thanks’ was die cut for this project and then abandoned.

Handmade card made using scraps from my craft desk

A Collage of various elements

That same Blog Hop I tried cutting a simple Hi from a Hexagon shape and just couldn’t get the composition right, so abandoned it. I wouldn’t normally sit a hexagon on a circle but I’d previously Inked up the reverse of this doillie and not used it. The combination of Cinnamon Cider and Bumblebee worked so well. I had a few neglected stamped bees from a 3D project I had attempted and hadn’t used.

Handmade note card made using scraps from my craft desk

A single die cut leaf from the Artfully Layered Dies gave inspiration for the card base colour. The Brushed Metallic cardstock reeds I’d cut for an underwater theme, was added and had me think of metallics. The Copper Heat Embossing on the card base helped with the clashing metallic vibe I was hoping for.

Handmade greetings card made using scraps from my craft desk

A loop of my favourite Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon, a Linen thread bow and the Bumblebee and my card was complete.

Handmade greetings cards made using scraps from my craft desk

Surprising results from leftovers, bits and bobs but these were genuinely leftovers. The card that surprised me most was the Hexagon card. I struggled when I had set to creating with this, yet when pulling my leftovers together, it came together relatively easily. It shows that sometimes we just try too hard.

I hope you have enjoyed my share and I hope you’ll be inspired to get creating with your leftovers. Hop on over now to see what Sara Levin has in store for us.

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of the hop.

Stampin’ Creative – Masculine Makes

by 10 Comments

The Stampin’ Creative Team are sharing Masculine Makes today and I’ve Brewed it for you.

Stampin' Creative Blog Hop Team, with Artisan Design Team Member 2019, Mikaela Titheridge, UK Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oINK Pen. Supplies available through my online store 24/7

Welcome to this month’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop where this month we share Masculine Makes. I’ve inked up a new Bundle from the upcoming Annual Catalogue called Brewed for you.

A perfect set for my Husband’s recent Birthday, I added both a Cold Beer and a Glass of Red Wine.

Brewed for you Masculine Makes Birthday card with Beer and wine

Starting with a Basic Grey card base and matting layer, I stamped the Beer Glass all over the Matting layer using Basic Grey Ink. This is a simple way of creating a patterned background.

On Basic White cardstock, I again used Basic Grey Ink and stamped the Beer Glass, the foam and the wine glass. The Stamp Set offers solid images so that you can fill your glasses. I stamped Bumblebee Ink for the Beer and Merry Merlot for the Wine before die cutting all images.

TIP

Once die cut, I took the Beer Glass and contents and stamping off, I lightly stamped part of the image across the wine glass. This helped show through to the image behind once stacked together.

Brewed for you Drinks and wine for a Masculine Card

Using the new Stitched Style Dies, I die cut a large circle of four used colours and snipped down into sections to complete a circle. This panel was elevated on Dimensionals across a Black Twine Bow with the glasses set on top.

A simple white on black heat embossed sentiment was then added to complete my card.

A fun stamp set that I feel sure will be used on many an occasion … and I look forward to creating with it more.

Global Design Project #GDP340 – CASE the Designer

by 3 Comments

This week’s Global Design Project theme is to CASE the Designer – Ann Alexander. This is the beautiful card we have to CASE in whatever way we interpret this.

Global Design Project CASE The Designer theme

What is it to CASE?

To CASE is to Copy and Share Everything … or to Copy and Selectively Edit. Inspiration allows us to use the colour scheme, the layout or the products used to create our own version.

The layout of Ann’s beautiful card appealed for my inspirational focus.

Jar of Flowers using Happiness Abounds and Watercolouring of this Greetings Card

Ann’s sentiment sat centrally with leaves heading both up and down. A filled Mason Jar would give enough image both above and below my sentiment. The new Happiness Abounds stamp set provided the beautiful flowers and sentiments. Stamping my flowers one at a time with versamark on watercolour paper, I proceeded to heat emboss white. To avoid messy overlapping, it was necessary to create a mask using a Post it note to protect each preceding stamped flower. The Jar of Flowers Stamp set provided the perfect mason jar that was heat embossed white.

Stampin' Up! Jar of Flowers and Happiness Abounds for a Watercolored card

Using a soft palette I added ink to the various flowers and leaves, adding more as needed. Once fully coloured, paper snips were used to fussy cut this image.

Subtle stitching detail from the Stitched with Whimsy die gives subtle detail. A soft square of vellum layering designs offered a contrasting backdrop.

Foam pad Dimensionals help to elevate your focal point.

The weekly Global Design Project challenge helps ignite my creative juices at the start of the week. I’ve enjoyed creating this and I hope you’ll seek inspiration from the rest of the Global Design Project #340.

Warm Wishes from a Welcoming Window

by Leave a Comment

Do you think of warm climates when you think of warm wishes? Perhaps this Welcoming window will have you thinking of somewhere in Greece.

Sadly the Welcoming Window is soon to retire and I wanted to get one last play with it before it went. Clearly yearning for a holiday overseas, my mind was thinking of properties in Greece. The rich royal blue shutters and white walls, teamed with bright and beautiful flower pots.

Home Sweet Home with Welcoming Window

Using A Good Taste Designer Series paper as my wall, I die cut an opening where my welcoming window would sit. A layer of Vellum gave a smoky glass appearance. Pacific Point seemed the perfect blue for the shutters, which I’ve adhered on one side with a Dimensional. This gives the appearance of them swinging open.

Home Sweet Home Welcoming Window Greetings Card

Stamping the greenery of this plant onto green cardstock, gave for a more vibrant plant pot. You can just about see a die cut jug sitting on the windowsill through the window.

I pulled this sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set, which I thought was perfect for a New Home card.

Welcoming Window for a Home Sweet Home themed greetings card

A wonderful Bundle that I’ve not used anywhere near enough but is a real joy to create with. I can think of many other ideas that would involve a window and a scene behind or in front.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my share with you today and that you’ll enjoy your weekend.

Global Design Project #GDP339 – Flowing Flowers

by 4 Comments

This week’s Global Design Project theme is Flowers, so I decided to submit this Flowing Flowers card I had created.

Global Design Project 339 Flowers

Having been prepping for an upcoming class using this Set, I had everything out on the desk to play with. Changing up the colours I wanted to create with varying shades of colour.

Starting with a Merry Merlot card base and matting layer, I took the same colour ink to sponge around the edges. This helps give a gentle draw to the middle of the card. Stamping the little trio of flowers in White Ink and Heat Embossing white, gave volume to this bouquet of flowers.

Global Design Project card using Flowing Flowers

The two focal point flowers were creating using the Stamparatus and Blending Brushes. Stamping first with Petal Pink, I then added Blushing Bride with a Brush and re-stamped. Using the Stamparatus helps the image stay in exactly the same spot for all subsequent layers. Darkening things up a little I moved up to Merry Merlot before finishing with Blackberry Bliss.

Global Design Project 339 Flowing Flowers

Taking White ink and a Water Painter, I flicked some ink across the card front before adhering the two flowers. Vellum leaves were punched from the Bough Punch and stamped, fussy cut leaves added with glue dots.

Global Design Project card using Flowing Flowers

You can just about see the little twig of Rose Gold Metallic Specialty Paper used with the Harvest Dies. The sentiment, which comes from a new Stamp set, was die cut using the same die pack. This new Stamp set has some wonderful sentiments that work beautifully with this die pack. Happiness Abounds (159238) will be available to purchase from 3rd May. A scattering of Elegant Faceted Gems and my card was complete.

I hope you have liked my share today and that you’ll seek inspiration from the rest of the Global Design Project #339.

Boughs and Blossoms Wreath Card

by 2 Comments

Today I share some projects that we created during a recent in person class using the Boughs and Blossoms Bundle.

The Catalogue is always a fabulous source of inspiration and sometimes CASing a project is a good starting point. A card using this bundle in the catalogue caught my eye, so I set to recreating it my way.

Creating my way

Starting with a Pool Party cardbase, I added a Timber Embossed matting layer of the same colour. Embossing helps add texture and interest with little fuss.

Using a Water Painter and a mix of Pear Pizzazz and Garden Green, I swished colour to off cuts of Shimmery White cardstock. Once dry, I used the Bough Punch to punch out a pile of leaves and a few blank buds. With the buds, I added colour where needed. I like the variation that using a water painter gives to the leaves.

Boughs and Blossoms for a wreath of thanks

On more Shimmery White cardstock, three flowers from the stamp set were stamped in Calypso Coral before fussy cutting. Arranging a wreath, I added the stamped flowers allowing space for a die cut sentiment.

This second card started life the same but with a randomly stamped matting layer. Tone on tone I used the same Pool Party ink as the cardstock.

Having cut a panel of shimmery White cardstock the same width of the card, I set to stamping the flowers. Using a Post it Note, I masked the focal flower to be able to stamp flowers either side that would sit behind. The masks in place helped when I added the Pear Pizzazz leaves. This was all fussy cut and added with Dimensionals to allow for some punched leaves and buds to be added behind.

Stampin' Up! Boughs and Blossoms Thank you card

A mixed Die cut and stamped sentiment helped complete this card.

This beautiful stamp set is due to retire, so you’ll be wise to add this to your basket soon. Include my Shopping Code at check out and you’ll receive a Free gift and download of the All Star Tutorial Bundle from that month.

I hope you’ve liked my share with your today and I’ve inspired you to use up scraps of Shimmery White cardstock.

Let’s Get Hopping #52 Farewell In Colors 2020-2022

by Leave a Comment

The Let’s Get Hopping Team are bidding their Farewell to the 2020-2022 In Colors today.

Lets Get Hopping with Mikaela Titheridge, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, The Crafty oiINK Pen

With our hop now over on Instagram, you may have already seen the Team’s posts over there. If you’ve missed it, then be sure to follow the link at the bottom of this post.

Today the Team are sharing their inspiration with the soon to retire 2020-2022 In Colors. Five fabulous colours that are soon to leave the Stampin’ Up! collection, to be replaced with five new colours.

What are In Colors?

Each year Stampin’ Up! introduce five new In Colors that follow the trends or help fill a gap. Blending with the existing colours, these help compliment our offering for a two year period.

To showcase these out going colours, I took inspiration from a card received from my friend Ashley Brown van Camp. Using Misty Moonlight as my cardbase, I randomly stamped pineapples from the Timeless Tropical set in the same colour. A panel of watercolour paper enabled a wash of the same blue to be added.

Timeless Tropical Pineapple Card to say Farewell 2020-2022 in colors

Using the Tropical Dies, I die cut the Pineapple from Just Jade and Bumblebee cardstock. Ink, added by the use of sponge daubers to these elements, helped give shading. Curving the Pineapple with a Bone Folder and stacking dimensionals, helped add shape.

Timeless Tropical Pineapple Card to bid Farewell to the 2020-2022 in colors

Magenta Madness is a punchy pink that I die cut the little flowers from. The Artistry Self Adhesive Sequins blended so well with this colour.

Timeless Tropical Pineapple In color card

Alcohol Blends Pens are perfect for adding colour to Baker’s Twine. This was where the 5th colour was introduced in Cinnamon Cider.

Piecing two sentiments together is a great way of creating a sentiment of choice. This sentiment was achieved from using the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my inspiration today and I’ve reminded you just how fabulous these colours are.

Be sure to get yourself over to my Instagram account to follow our Instahop around and see the rest of the inspiration by the Team.
