Making the challenge card

I began with a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½”. Using a pencil and ruler I drew a pencil line about a third of the way up from the bottom. I inked up the large ‘palm’ type leaf from the Tropical Chic stamp set in Mint Macaron ink and stamped it twice below the line. Next I added 2 flowers in Daffodil Delight ink and the larger leaf in Pool Party ink, making sure to keep them all below the line.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set with Mint Macaron ink onto a piece of Whisper White 3½” by 1”. I laid this sentiment piece onto the stamped panel roughly where I wanted to adhere it then moved it down slightly to allow me to stamp the line image from side to side in Pool Party ink.

The sentiment piece was then added to the stamped layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left corner of the stamped panel and the upper left corner of a panel of Daffodil Delight cardstock and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The topper panel was added with the same adhesive to a Mint Macaron card base with a rounded upper left corner. I punched 3 flowers using one of the Bitty Blooms Punches and added them to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The flowers were then added to the card front with the Mini Glue Dots.

A lovely floral card for the CAS Colour & Sketches #309 colour challenge using the Painted Seasons stamp set

CAS Colours & Sketches #309 – Painted Seasons

Today I am sharing a sweet card made for the CAS Colours and Sketches #309 Challenge. I used the gorgeous Painted Seasons stamp set, can’t seem to get enough of this set at the moment. The challenge this time asked us to create a project using Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz inks.

Making the CAS Colours & Sketches card

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and randomly stamped the 2 flowers, 1 in Daffodil Delight and the other in So Saffron ink. I then stamped 2 of the leaf images in 1st or 2nd generation Pear Pizzazz ink. The small cluster of stars were then randomly added in So Saffron ink. Basically I used the stamps to make my own dsp.

Using my Bigshot and the Doily Builder dies I cut out the ring doily from Whisper White cardstock. I only wanted the centre piece and added the detailed ring to my stash. I stamped the sentiment from the Forever lovely stamp set onto the centre die cut in Pear Pizzazz ink. I added a portion of one of the large flowers at the bottom of the die cut using Daffodil Delight ink. The piece was then mounted using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, onto a Basic Gray circle, cut using the Layering Circle dies. The sentiment was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

A gorgeous floral spray card made using the Painted Seasons stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Painted Seasons used for Team Training

Today I am sharing a card made as a Make and take project for our Team Training event and using the new Painted Seasons stamp set. This gorgeous stamp set is only available as one of the free Sale-a-Bration choices with a £90 order until the 1st – 31st March. It comes as a bundle with a gorgeous pack of designer series paper which I am not using today.

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

I started with a scarp piece of Whisper White cardstock. I inked up the stunning flower image with Poppy Parade ink and before stamping it down I added Cherry Cobbler ink in the centre and around the edges of the flower using a Sponge Dauber. This is a distINKtive syle stamp so looks very 3 dimensional when stamped and the added darker shade of red really enhances this look. I die cut the image using my Big Shot and the co-ordinating Four Seasons Framelit dies.

I placed my die cut flower onto a layer of Whisper White measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜”, inked up the larger leaf image with Mossy Meadow ink, moved the flower slightly and stamped the image down. I then stamped again without re-inking. I repeated this step on the other side of the flower. The smaller leaf image was then added in 1st and 2nd generation Sahara Sand ink. I then added the little clusters of tiny stars in 1st and 2nd generation Mint Macaron ink.

I wrapped a piece of retired Mossy Meadow Thick Baker’s Twine around the stamped layer and tied in a bow. I had planned to use the lovely Old Olive Linen Thread but couldn’t find it………..

I rounded the upper left corner of the stamped layer and a layer of Poppy Parade cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” using the Detailed Trio Punch and adhered the two layers together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same adhesive to add this panel to a Mossy Meadow card base with a rounded upper left corner. The die cut flower was then added over the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Needle and Thread stamp set was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. I stamped the flower and the larger leaf onto a panel of Whisper White (with a rounded upper left corner) and added this to the inside of the card. The same images were then stamped on a Whisper White Envelope.

I love this stamp set, the images are absolutely stunning……don’t miss out.

A Valentine card made for my husband using the Rooted In Nature stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Rooted In Nature non-traditional Valentine Card

Today I am sharing the Valentine’s card I made for my husband. It is a non-traditional valentine card as he would hate a lovey dovey, hearts and flowers card.  I used the Rooted In Nature stamp set to make a card featuring leaves and nature which he loves.

Making the non-traditional Valentine card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅞” by 2⅛”. I selected a variety of leaves from the Rooted In Nature stamp set and chose a variety of green inks with which to stamp them, starting with the largest images and filling up the space with the smaller leaves. The inks I used were Shaded Spruce, Old olive, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam, I deliberately overlapped some of the images to give a fuller look.

When the ink was dry I rubbed over the panel with my Embossing Buddy before stamping one of the images again in Versamark ink. I covered the panel with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. So pretty….

I cut a panel of Shaded Spruce at 5⅞” by 2⅜”and adhered it to the back of the stamped and embossed layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I cut a piece of Gold Foil at 5⅞” by ½” and added it to the right hand side of the panel before adhering the whole piece to a Soft Sea Foam card base.

I cut a strip of Vellum 2⅛ by 1” and stamped the word YOU from the Well Said stamp set in Versamark ink, covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. I die cut the word LOVE from a scrap of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the Well Written framelit dies and my Big Shot. I added the die cut to the vellum using tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the vellum panel to the card front with tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive hidden behind the words.

I am really happy with this non-traditional Valentine card and I am sure my husband will like it too.

Lovely cards made using the Needle & thread bundle by Stampin' Up!

Needle & Thread for February’s Classes

Today I am sharing the 3 cards the ladies made in this week’s classes using the Needle & Thread stamp set and the co-ordinating Needlepoint Elements dies.

Card 1

Lovely cards made using the Needle & thread bundle by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com -the gorgeous Needle & Thread stamp set and co-ordinating dies used for classes

We started with the most time consuming card first. Using scrap Whisper White cardstock the ladies stamped the all the elements ready to die cut them out. The large flower was stamped in Highland Heather ink, the smaller flower in Poppy Parade ink, the trio of flowers were stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and the leaves in Pool Party ink.

We embossed a panel of Whisper White 4½” by 3” using the detailed stitched pattern. We rounded the upper right corner and glued the embossed panel to a slightly larger piece of Pool Party. Using all the die cut pieces we then built up the group of flowers using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and Stampin Dimensionals. We then added the completed panel to a Poppy Parade card base. A decorated Whisper White panel was added inside the card.

Card 2

We started with a small piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3⅝”by 2½”. We stamped the stitched edge along the top and down the left side of the piece in Gorgeous Grape ink. Next the leaves were stamped in Pool Party ink and the large flower was added using Poppy Parade ink.

The Needle & Thread stamp set has a great choice of sentiments for the ladies to choose from and they stamped their chosen sentiment in Gorgeous Grape ink. We rounded the lower right corner of the Whisper White Panel and added it to a layer of Gorgeous Grape cardstock measuring 3¾” by 2⅝”.

Using the really sweet trio of butterflies we stamped the front of a Pool Party card base and added the stamped panel on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals. We then tucked in scraps of Highland Heather, Poppy Parade and Gorgeous Grape cardstock to add a little more interest to the card.

Card 3

Lovely cards made using the Needle & thread bundle by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com -the gorgeous Needle & Thread stamp set and co-ordinating dies used for classes

This card was so simple to make. We started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5¼” by 3½. We randomly stamped all the images starting with the largest and working through to the smallest stamps. We used the same colour combination of Highland Heather ink, Poppy Parade ink, Gorgeous Grape ink and Pool Party ink. The ladies chosen sentiment was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and added to a strip of Gorgeous Grape cardstock. The stamped panel was added to a layer of Poppy Parade cardstock……..and yes I did round a corner of both layers.

The panel was then added to a Thick Whisper White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the sentiment was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. We added a bow using the gorgeous Highland Heather Organza Ribbon.

A sweet thank you card for the CTD 530 challenge

Hello Cupcake for the CTD530 colour challenge

Today I am sharing a sweet card made using the Hello Cupcake stamp set for the CTD530 colour challenge. This stamp set is so versatile and so easy to use. I love it.

Making the card

I started by stamping the cupcake case in Smoky Slate ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I also stamped the frosting in Berry Burst ink on the same piece of scrap Whisper White. Using my scissors I cut them out – the good news is that on the 1st March a new set of dies will be available to cut out these images…….hooray……I am not a big fan of fussy cutting. I added the frosting to the cupcake case with a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it to one side.

Today I am sharing a card I designed for the Global Design Project #176 – CASE the Designer Challenge. I loved the rainbow colours in Steffi’s beautiful card and made that my starting point.

Making the card

I began by choosing the image I wanted to use. It had to be fairly small and ideally a fairly open image. In the end I went for the sweet little flower stamp in the Amazing Life stamp set.

Next I looked at colours; I knew I wanted a rainbow to mimic Steffi’s card and tried out a few variations of colour before settling for – Berry Burst, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Grapefruit Grove, Granny Apple Green, Blueberry Bushel and Gorgeous Grape – in hind sight I should have gone for Lovelly Lipstick as my first colour but completely forgot about it……..it’s been that kind of day.

After stamping the flower in each of the colours onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½” I rounded the upper left corner with my Detailed Trio Punch. I added a layer of Basic Gray layer 5⅜” by 3⅝” behind the Whisper White panel having rounded the same corner and using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added the whole stamped panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Basic Gray on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock ⅜” wide. This was then trimmed down and one end flagged using my scissors. I added the sentiment to a scrap of Granny Apple Green ½” wide and trimmed to fit. This was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the flower again in Grapefruit Grove onto a panel of Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” which was them glued inside the card. The same image was then stamped in the same colour onto a Whisper White envelope. To complete the card I added a few of the gorgeous Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots.
