A masculine seaside themed card featuring a lighthouse and a blended background.

Masculine Lighthouse themed card

Posted on March 7, 2021March 2, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a masculine lighthouse themed birthday card made for my son’s birthday.

He has recently bought a house in a small fishing village on the northeast coast of Scotland, where incidentally a branch of my Mothers and a branch of my Fathers families lived from the at least the 1690’s. In fact, the house he has bought was owned by my 3 great aunts the last of whom died there in the mid 1990’s. Yes, family history is one of my passions……. My son loves the sea and as the house is about 50 feet from the harbour, he is a s happy as the proverbial pig. So….. his card had to be seaside themed. I got the idea for this card from a fellow demonstrator Priscilla – I adapted her design and made it my own.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the masculine Lighthouse card, you will need:

Balmy Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Pacific Point – 5½” by 3¾”
So Saffron – 5½” by 3¾”
Balmy Blue – 5½” by 3¾”
Misty Moonlight – 5½” by 3¾”
Misty Moonlight – 3¾” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 3¾” by 2⅝”

I took the four panels of card stock measuring 5½” by 3¾” and cut them into thin strips, wider at one end than the other. Taking the strips, I added them to one of the larger Basic White panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive leaving a small strip of white visible between the strips. I trimmed off any excess when the whole panel was covered.

The striped panel was then added to the Misty Moonlight layer with the same liquid glue and then to the Balmy Blue card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A striking lighthouse themed birthday card made using card stock scraps and blending brushes by Stampin’ Up!

Using the lovely new Blending Brushes, I added Balmy Blue ink to the top and bottom of the small Basic White panel. I added So Saffron ink to the middle of the panel. I stamped the ‘sea’ image in Balmy Blue ink at the bottom of the panel and birds in Basic Gray at the top of the panel. Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine I cut a scalloped rectangle from the inked panel. This was glued to the small panel of Misty Moonlight and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the image of the lighthouse onto scrap Basic White card. I wanted the image to be quite dark and the Stamparatus gave me the ability to stamp multiple times to get the depth of colour I wanted.

I cut the lighthouse out using the Smooth Sailing Dies. I added light to the windows using So Saffron Blends Marker and used a Blender Pen to soften the colour of the lighthouse.

A gorgeous 75th waterfall birthday card for my aunt made in bright summery colours using Stampin' Up! products

Special Waterfall Birthday Card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is Fun Folds. So with that in mind, I absolutely have to share with you the waterfall birthday card I have made for my Aunts special birthday tomorrow. This card was made using bright spring colours and flowers which my aunt loves.

Colours Used in this project are:

To recreate the Waterfall birthday card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Magenta Madness – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Magenta Madness – 4⅛” by 1”
Flowers For Every Season dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Flirty Flamingo – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White & Magenta Madness

I began by gluing the Flowers For Every Season dsp to the Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Magenta Madness card about 2 ¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus and this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Magenta Madness into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch; it is wider than the opening so is a bit of a fiddle. Push it right to the end then punch. Pull it out and trim off the extra piece on each side.

Fold on all the score lines, slip the punched scalloped end of the Magenta Madness under the strip of card you have just glued across the card. The scored part of the card will then be on top of the band. Using strong adhesive glue along the top of the scored panel – face down – adhere the piece to the bottom end of the band. This forms the waterfall mechanism.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp some of the sentiments from the You Are Amazing, Approaching Perfection & Good Morning Magnolia stamp sets on to the small panels of Basic White card. Other sentiments were masked and inked up using Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

The sentiment panels were added to the Coloured panels using with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a selection of flowers from the All Things Fabulous stamp set. For the larger flower I used 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd generation Magenta Madness. For the smaller flowers I used 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight and Bumblebee, Magenta Madness in 1^st and 2^nd generation and Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade. The leaves were stamped in Just Jade ink. These were all cut out using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machune. The flowers and leaves were added to the sentiment panels with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

I added a length of White Ribbon from my stash to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and tied it on with a piece of the Snail Mail Twine. I finished by adding some Gold Glitters Dot to each panel. I added a tiny Magenta Madness dragonfly punched out using the Dragonfly Punch to the front panel.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Sale-A-Bration items – Corner Bouquet stamp set used with the Oh So Ombre Paper for a sweet floral card

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped onto the Oh So Ombre dsp using Mossy Meadow ink. It was trimmed out using Scissors. I added a stitched scalloped border cut from a scrap of Basic White card using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I added the border using the same liquid glue.

I hope you like it, I am sure Mum will.
