Toast to your new house

Today I am sharing a lovely ‘toast to your new home’ card I made for my son who got the keys for his new house a couple of days ago, so exciting. I used the Whiskey Business stamp set to make the card,

To recreate the toast to your new home card, you will need:

In Good Taste dsp – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Mango Melody – 4¾” by 3” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 4⅝” by 2⅞” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded Upper Left corner – for the inside
Scrap Whisper White

I glued the piece of In Good Taste dsp to the Early Espresso card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the whiskey decanter onto the smaller panel of Whisper White. Using the same ink, I stamped a glass onto scrap Whisper White and cut it out using Scissors.

I added the ‘ground’ image in the same ink. Using a wedge of Sponge, I lightly added Misty Moonlight ink over the panel to suggest a misty day.

Customer Thank You cards – For Kylie Bertucci’s Demonstrator Training Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to my blog.  My name is Mo Rootes from Cambridge in the UK and I am thrilled to be taking part in my first blog hop with fellow demonstrators, from around the world, who are part of Kylie Bertucci’s demonstrator training program. The theme for the hop is ‘Thank You’ and I am sure you will find lots of inspiration as you hop along with us

You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the hop list at the bottom of this post so please hop along with us today.

To recreate my Customer Thank You card you, will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Oh So Ombre dsp – 4¾” by 3¼” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White card – 4½” by 3” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Scrap Whisper White

This month my customer thank you cards feature a couple of sneak peaks showing new product which will be available from the 5th January 2021 in the January – June 2021 mini catalogue and the January – February 2021 Sale-A-Bration Brochure. My ladies love a sneak peek.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I began by stamping the stem and leaves from the gorgeous new stamp set called Art Gallery stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the texture this gives to the layer.

The stamped and embossed panel was added, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Oh So Ombre dsp – one of the free choices with a £45 order in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

I used a piece of the Ornated Garden Ribbon to wrap around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape. Yes, I know the ribbon is Old Olive but it tones so well with the Granny Apple Green ink that I think I can get away with it..  The whole piece was then added to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

The flower is a 3-step image and I started by stamping the solid image in Flirty Flamingo ink. I added the more detailed image in Merry Merlot ink and finished with the small, centre in Early Espresso ink. Doesn’t it look fabulous….. I cut is out using the co-ordinating Floral Gallery dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green ink, cut it out with one of the sweet labels from the same die set and added it to the card with liquid adhesive. The pearls were coloured with a Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker and added to the card front to complete the card.

 

I hope you and my customers like the cards.

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Colour Combo Blog Hop where you will find lots of inspiration using this month’s colours which are Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite & Real Red. Don’t you think this is a really unusual colour combo? If you are starting the hop with me or have joined from Amanda Farlinger’s blog, you are very welcome.

To recreate the colour combo card, you will need:

Gray Granite card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 3⅝” by 1⅛”
Whisper White card – 3⅝” by 1”

Taking one of the Whisper White panels and some Post It Notes I masked off a 1” strip about ⅔ up from the bottom.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

I decided to use the Forever Fern stamp set to make my card and started by inking up the largest leafy image with Gray Granite ink. The image was stamped above and below the masked off strip.

Next, I added the round leafed image using the Real Red ink. I filled in the gaps using the 2 smaller leafy images in Cinnamon Cider ink. I love that we have the same image going in different directions.

To pull the whole thing together I added a scattering of dots from the same stamp set using Gray Granite ink. The Post It Notes were then removed and the whole layer was added to the Real Red layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the Gray Granite card base using the same glue.

The sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set was stamped on the strip of Whisper White in Real Red ink. I decided it looked unfinished so stamped again on either side of the sentiment using the Gray Granite and Cinnamon Cider inks. I liked that much better.

The sentiment strip was then added to the Real Red strip using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the card front on Dimensionals. I added a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love these colours together, don’t you?

Joy of Sets Blog Hoo where the theme is Christmas Music. I have chosen In the Bleak Midwinter

In the Bleak Midwinter – Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Thank you for joining me today for the very last Joy of Sets Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas Music’. I chose the carol – ‘In the Bleak Midwinter, frosty winds may moan. Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone’ and chose the Snow Front stamp set to create my snowy/icy scene. If you have hopped over from Gez Carpenter or started with me, you are very welcome.

To recreate the In the Bleak Midwinter card. you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”
Whisper White – 3¾” by 2¾”
Soft Suede – 3” by 1⅜”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I began by randomly stamping the group of trees from the Snow Front stamp set in Balmy Blue ink across the Balmy Blue card front to add a bit of texture. I added the panel of Soft Suede card to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it aside.

The mountains from the Snow Front stamp set were stamped in 3rd generation Highland Heather ink for a subtle background.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Using a piece of copy paper, I tore a wavy edge and used one of the new Blending Brushes to add a little Balmy Blue ink onto the stamped piece, creating layers of snow banks.

The cottage was then stamped in Soft Suede ink.  I added a variety of trees from the same stamp set in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Shaded Spruce ink to add some depth to the image. The icy path was added in Balmy Blue ink and the sweet pair of deer in Soft Suede, aren’t they adorable.

Taking a Post It Note I punched out a ¾” circle, added it to the top of the image and used the Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to give the illusion of a winter sky. I added a little Misty Moonlight around the top to give some depth. To add to the illusion of icy conditions I sprayed the stamped panel with Frost White Shimmer Spray.

Real Red – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Most Wonderful Time dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Old Olive – 4¼” by 2¼”
Whisper White – 4¼” by 2¼”
Whisper White ⅜” strip

I began by adhering the Most Wonderful Time dsp to the Real Red panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I set this panel to the side.

Taking the ‘ribbon image’ from the Most Wonderful Time stamp set I stamped them in Real Red ink onto the panel of Whisper White. After trial and error, I found it easier to stamp the ribbons first, followed by the parcels. The parcels were then stamped in Old Olive ink.

I die cut the stamped row of presents using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and one of the Tasteful Labels dies. Using the same label die I cut the same shape from the piece of Old Olive card. This was cut through the middle and was glued to the stamped label using the liquid glue.

The ribbon holes at either end were punched using the Detailed Trio Punch and a piece of the All The Trimmings ribbon fed through. I added the stamped panel to the Real Red layer using Dimensionals and wrapped the ribbon around the back of the panel, tying it on the front into a bow.

The whole panel was then mounted onto the Thick Whisper White card base using the same liquid glue. The sentiment from the In The Pines stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink onto the ⅜” strip and trimmed it out using Scissors. It was added to the card front using the liquid glue.

I added a Red Rhinestone to the bow of each present to complete the card.

I made the same card but changed it to a portrait version and using a different piece of dsp and an Old Olive card base.
