Taking the gorgeous dotty edge die from the Curvy die set and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut off part of the card front. Doesn’t it look cool.

I stamped the spray of stars, love this image, along the cut edge of the card front in Misty Moonlight ink. I also stamped the row of stars onto the inside panel in the same ink.

I used the same dotty die to cut the same shape into the dsp panel and used my Paper Trimmer to trim the panel down to size before adhering it to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Stitched Star dies I cut 3 stars from scrap Misty Moonlight, Whisper White and Gold Foil card.

I rubbed my embossing body over a scrap piece of Misty Moonlight card and the sentiment from the Country Home stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink. I covered the Versamark with White Embossing Powder and Heat Set it using my Heat Tool.

Using my sharp scissors, I fussy cut the sentiment. I only wanted part of the sentiment for this card and this is a great way to get more from the sentiments you have. The sentiment was added over the ribbon with liquid glue and a bow of the same ribbon added to the side. I added a trio of 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots around the flowers. To complete the card, I fussy cut a couple of tiny dragonflies from the Dandy Garden dsp and added them to the card front with a spot of glue.

I hope you like it.

A beautiful wicker 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

3D Poinsettia Wreath- Stampin ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on November 13, 2020November 13, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘3D’. If you have hopped over from the lovely Jill Chapman, you are very welcome. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes in the UK. Please continue to hop through to see all the inspiration the other participants have to share.

I have chosen to share the wreath I have made for my lovely Mum who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease and is in a care home. As we are currently in lockdown in an effort to stop the rise of Covid-19, we are unable to visit her. I made her this pretty Poinsettia Wreath for the lovely staff who care for her to hang on her door.

To recreate the 3D Poinsettia Wreath, you will need:

Real Red card stock
Flirty Flamingo card stock
Garden Green stock
Soft Sea Foam card stock
Whisper White card stock
Silver Foil card

Taking the stunning Metallic Mesh Ribbon, I started wrapping it loosely around a pretty wicker wreath bought from a local craft store. I love this ribbon; it is so light and fragile looking but adds such a pop of style.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Using the gorgeous Poinsettia Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut out the layers for 2 Real Red flowers and the layers for a Flirty Flamingo flower.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I used a sponge dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink I added colour to the edges of each flower petal to give the flower more dimension.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I used Real Red ink and a dauber to add depth to the Flirty Flamingo flower.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

The petals were shaped using my Bone Folder to add yet more dimension. The petals of the largest and smallest layers were shaped downwards. The petals of the two middle layers were shaped upwards.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

The layers were layer up using a Dimensional between the bottom (first) and second layer. Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive between the second and third layer and a Mini Dimensional between the third and fourth layers. Each layer was added off centre to the layer before.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Using the Beautiful Boughs Dies I die cut a selection of branches in Garden Green, Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I began adding branches and leaves behind each of the three flowers, building up the layers and adhering the leaves to the back of the flower with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

When all three flowers were backed with leaves, I glued them to the wreath using my hot glue gun. I added a bow made using the Metallic Mesh Ribbon using the hot glue.

I used some of the really pretty Beaded Pearls to the centre of each flower using Mini Glue Dots.

As a finishing touch I sprayed the flowers with some Frost White Shimmer Paint mixed with 70% alcohol to give some extra shimmer.

So pretty I really hope Mum likes it.

Using the So Many Snowflake Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut one of the small snowflakes from the scrap Magenta Madness card. This snowflake was added on top of the stamped snowflakes using cut up Mini Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous shimmery, pink snowflake themed Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! product

The sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set was stamped below the snowflakes in Magenta Madness ink. I absolutely love this colour – it really pops doesn’t it?

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous shimmery, pink snowflake themed Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! product

I managed to get a little Magenta Madness ink smudge below the sentiment so added a couple of the tiny snowflakes in the Magenta ink to hide it………

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous shimmery, pink snowflake themed Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! product

The stamped layer was glued to the Magenta Madness layer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card I added a Basic Rhinestone to the centre of the snowflake and I couldn’t resist spraying the whole card with my handmade Frost White Shimmer Spray. This was made by filling a Stampin’ Spritzer ¾ full of 70% alcohol and adding a pea sized drop of the shimmer paint. Shake well and spray. GORGEOUS………….

I hope you like the card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -All Things Fabulous used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose.

The larger flower was stamped in Rococo Rose. I stamped the inner detailed layer in full strength ink, added the middle layer in 2^nd generation ink and the final layer in 3^rd generation ink. I love that you can get lots of different shades from the same ink pad.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -All Things Fabulous used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose.

The smaller flower was stamped in Daffodil Delight ink. I find this one works better stamping the images in reverse – so 3^rd generation ink for largest stamp first, 2^nd generation for the middle image and full strength for the more detailed image,

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -All Things Fabulous used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop using Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight and Rococo Rose.

The leaves were stamped in Coastal Cabana, full strength and 2^nd generation. All of the images were die cut using the Fabulous Floral dies. The images were then adhered to the card front with either liquid adhesive and/or dimensionals.

When making a card like this I always start by stamping the largest image and working through the images to the smallest.
