Posted on February 25, 2021February 22, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the card I made my husband for Valentine’s Day using the Playful Alphabet dies, Window Sheet and strips of card. This card was inspired by a Youtube video by fellow demonstrator Angie of Stamping With Amore.

Colours used in today’s project are:

To recreate the Playful Valentine card. You will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Window Sheet – 4⅛” by 2¼”
Misty Moonlight – 4⅛” by ⅜”
Panels of Misty Moonlight, So Saffron, Pacific Point, Old Olive & Balmy Blue 2½” wide
Scrap Basic White

Taking the 2½” wide strips of card stock I cut them down into thin strips, wider at one end than the other.

I added strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive down the length of each strip and added them to the Window Sheet panel leaving a small gap between each strip. I trimmed off the excess using sharp scissors.

Dimensionals and Mini Dimensionals were then added to the Window Sheet behind the card stock strips, so they would be hidden and the whole panel adhered to the card front.

Taking the scrap Basic White and the Playful Alphabet Dies I cut out letters LOVE three times. The letters were then stacked on top of each other with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive before being added to the card front.

To recreate the floral thank you card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pool Party – 5½” by 3¾”
Vellum – 3⅜” by 2¼”

I began by stamping the group of flowers image from the Art Gallery stamps set onto scrap Basic White card, once using Granny Apple Green ink and again in Pool Party ink. I then stamped the more detailed image in Bermuda Bay ink onto the Pool Party flowers. These flowers were then fussy cut out and added overtop of the Granny Apple Green flowers with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive,

Using my Paper Trimmer I cut the panel of Pool Party card at an angle and stamped the sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink along one edge.

www.crafty-rootes.com -A pretty thank you card made using the Art Gallery stamp set and Flower and Field dsp by Stampin’ Up!

The panels were then added to the Pool Party card front using Dimensionals, leaving a gap of about 1” between the two panels. I made sure not to put the Dimensionals too close to the edge of the panels so that I could slide the piece of Flower and Field dsp into the gap gluing it down with the liquid glue and trimming off the excess with Scissors.

Enjoy The Moment set of cards

Posted on February 21, 2021February 14, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Here is a pretty set of cards made using the Enjoy The Moment stamp set and Oh So Ombre dsp.

Blackberry Bliss ink on the Rococo Rose dsp
Blackberry Bliss ink on the Blackberry Bliss dsp

Mossy Meadow ink on the Granny Apple Green dsp

Using the speckled stamp from the Sweet Ice Cream stamped I added some texture to a couple of the stamped images.

I rounded a different corner of each of the cards and its panels to give each a different personality.

I am so glad the White Bakers Twine is back in the catalogue and I added some to each card, again for a little texture.

A gorgeous new baby waterfall fun fold card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Baby Waterfall card

Posted on February 19, 2021February 11, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Here is a sweet waterfall baby card made using the gorgeous Baby Pull Toys stamps set and inspired by a card I saw on Youtube made by US demonstrator Cindy Brumbaugh – I have altered the sizes to fit A4 card.

Colours Used in this project are:

To recreate the Baby Waterfall card you will need:

Pacific Point card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Pacific Point – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Pacific Point – 4⅛” by 1”
Berry Delightful dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Poppy Parade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Night of Navy – 2⅝” by 1⅝”
Bermuda Bay – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”

I began by gluing the Berry Delightful dsp to the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Pacific Point 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 waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Pacific Point 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.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Fold on all the score lines, slip the punched scalloped end of the Pacific Point 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 waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys 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.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the 3 images from the Baby Pull Toys stamp set on to the squares of Basic White card. I stamped sentiments from the same stamp set onto the smallest and largest Basic White panels and adhered these directly, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, to the Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay panels.

I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the sweet little toy images – Gray Granite, Poppy Parade, Just Jade, Daffodil Delight, Cinnamon Cider and Mango Melody. I added a trio of hearts from the same stamp set on the largest Basic White piece and coloured these in using some of the same Blends Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

These stamped panels were then stuck onto the coloured panels using liquid glue. I added a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and a 2020-2022 In Colour Dot to the end of each toy to complete the card.

I absolutely love it. So adorable.

Gilded Heart for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop

Posted on February 13, 2021February 13, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Love is in the Air’. I have made a gilded heart card using the pretty Touched my Heart stamp set and some gold gilding flakes.

Colours used in this project are:

Basic White – 5½” by 3¾”
Oh So Ombre dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

Taking the panel of Oh So Ombre dsp, I stamped the sweet dainty heart using Versamark ink. I added Heat & Stick Powder, heat set it with my heat tool and covered it with Gold Gilding Flakes. I used my fingers and a piece of Stampin Sponge to rub in the gilding flakes and to remove the excess flakes.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Gilded Heart for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop using the Touching The Heart stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I then stamped the sentiment from the Treasures of Life Stamp set in the same Versamark ink, added Heat & Stick Powder and again covered it with Gold Gilding Flakes and repeated the rubbing off the excess.

Flowers on Black for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 13, 2021February 11, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects we have been working on. If you saw my blog post on the 31^st January you will be aware that I have been enjoying playing with the fussy cut flowers and leaves from one of the sheets of Flower & Field dsp. I am using the flowers again today to make a thank you card.

If you have hopped over from Annette’s blog, welcome.

To recreate the Flowers & Field card, you will need:

Basic Black – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black – 5½”” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½”” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Basic Black – 3½” by 2½”

I started by running the Basic Black panel through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. This was glued to the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp. Ink. Share. Blog hop – Flower & Field dsp for a flowers on black thank you card

Using Versamark ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set onto the small piece of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. This was then die cut using the Stitched Shapes dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink I stamped the ties onto the smallest panel to Basic White. I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the ties – Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow.

I placed the Many Messages stamp into the Stamparatus, inked it up in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped down onto a panel of Basic White. I used the Messages Die and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut out the sentiments. I keep the spare sentiments in a stamp case.
