I have been using the Season Like Christmas stamp set to make non seasonal card today and I love it.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Season Like Christmas stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I stamped the solid tree image on a piece of Whisper White cardstock in Garden Green ink. I stamped the more detailed layer in Always Artichoke ink over the top. I added the tree trunk image in Early Espresso ink; love how this really brings the tree to life.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Season Like Christmas stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I then repeated the steps to stamp 2 more trees, one to either side of the original tree and slightly in front. I added the ‘ground’ image in 3rd, 4th and 5th generation Early Espresso ink to give some depth to the ground.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Season Like Christmas stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I added the Whisper White 4⅝” by 3⅝”panel to a layer of Early Espresso cardstock a 4¾” by 3¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of Linen Twine 3 times around the panel and after some thought I added it to the right side of a Garden Green card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Whisper White panel, 5⅜” by 3⅝” to the inside of the card after stamping the tree image in the lower right hand corner. I also stamped the image onto a Whisper White Envelope.

I had a great time on Sunday running a craft session at a soon to be 10year old’s birthday party. The birthday girl, her friends and her younger sister were a pleasure to spend time with and they were so enthusiastic. I designed 2 projects using the Cool Treats Stamp set and the co-ordinating Frozen Treats Framelit dies for them to make.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treas Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!
The first was a card and we started by stamping one of the ice lolly images using Flirty Flamingo ink, So Saffron Ink, Peakaboo Peach ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. We added the lolly stick using Crumb Cake ink before die cutting the lollies using the Frozen Treats framelit dies. The girls did an amazing job and loved stamping.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treas Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!
Next we inserted 3 strips of cardstock 5⅞” by ¼” in Flirty Flamingo, Peakaboo Peach and So Saffron, into the Seaside Embossing Folder and ran it through the die cutting machine to get some cool texture. The girls loved doing this. We added the embossed strips to a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” using Snail Adhesive and used the Grid Paper to help make sure they were straight. They stamped the sentiment from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink below the embossed strips.
Using Snail Adhesive they added a Whisper White circle, die cut ahead of time using the Stitched Shapes framelits to a scalloped circle, die cut ahead of time from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock using the Layering Circles framelits. This piece was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals on top of the embossed strips.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!
The 4 die cut ice lollies were then added to the Whisper White circle with either Snail Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. The girls then added some Iridescent Sequins using Mini Glue Dots and a Paper Piercer, they loved these. To finish we stamped another lolly and lolly stick onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” for the inside and onto the front of a Whisper White Envelope.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!
For the second project we took a piece of Whisper white cardstock 8½” by 3½” and stamped a variety of ice lollies along one of the long sides in Flirty Flamingo, So saffron, Peakaboo Peach, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party ink, the girls even did a little 2 step stamping which they loved. To make the project go faster I had already stamped the lolly sticks along one of the 8½” sides using Crumb Cake ink and applied Tear & Tape to the back of the stamped side and along one of the 3½” sides.
Next they folded and burnished the base of the bag which I had scored and cut for them. I started with a 3” by 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock and scoring at ½” on all 4 sides then cutting up the score lines to form 4 tabs. I had added Tear & Tape to the tabs ahead of time and the girls removed the backing and adhered the tabs to the outside of the base. They then removed the backing from the adhesive on the long side and adhered it to the base, starting from the middle of one of the sides and wrapping it around pressing it into place as they went. The backing was then removed from the remaining short edge and overlapped to seal the sides of the bag.
They curled 2 strips of Whisper White cardstock 8” by ½” using a Bone Folder before applying a Mini Glue Dot to both ends of each strip and adding them to the inside of the bag to form the handles. To finish off they decorated the outside with Iridescent Sequins which they stuck on with Mini Glue Dots.
They did so well and their cards and bags looked amazing and I just love the summery colours..

Oooohhh I have the new Stampin’ BlendsAlcohol Pens and I am not afraid to use them…………..they are fab-U-lous.
I stamped the large flower image from the Graceful Garden stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4¾” by 3⅝” and coloured it in starting with the flower petals and the light Cherry Cobbler pen. I added shadow with the dark Cherry Cobbler pen and went over each petal again with the light colour. As these are alcohol based pens it is best to only colour small areas otherwise the ink dries. Move onto the next few petals and repeat. I coloured the stem and leaves in the same way using the light and dark Old Olive pens.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Graceful Gardens stamp set and Stampin’ Blends pens
I placed the large geometric patterned stamp onto the clear block E and stamped it on opposite corners of the Whisper White panel using Cherry Cobbler ink. The sentiment from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink.
I rounded the opposite corners using the WRMK’s corner rounder and added the panel to a layer of Basic Black cardstock using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. To finish I added some Black Rhinestones to pull the card together. I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and stamped the geometric design in the corner and onto the Whisper White Envelope.
I really love these pens, they are so easy to use and give great depth to the coloured images.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Graceful Gardens stamp set and Stampin’ Blends pens
I stamped the geometric design again on to opposite corners of a Real Red card base and added a piece of Old Olive cardstock 4⅛” by 2½” to the card front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The flower stamped panel was then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

An Autumnal Colorful Seasons anniversary card made using the Colorful Seasons stamp set. This gorgeous stamp set was out on my desk again today and I used it to make a lovely Anniversary card for my husband.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin Up
I wanted to use the solid leaf images from the stamp set and paired them up with gorgeous Autumnal colours. I took the larger ‘maple leaf’ image and stamped it in Crushed Curry ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”, cleaned the stamp on my fabulous Stampin’ Scrub – couldn’t live without this, and stamped it again in 2nd generation Cherry Cobbler ink, Pear Pizzazz ink, 2nd generation Cajun Craze ink and 2nd generation Rich Razzleberry ink. I added the smaller maple leaf image using the same ink colours in either 1st or 2nd generation ink. I added this panel to a layer of Early Espresso cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. This whole piece was then added to an Old Olive card base, again using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin Up
I stamped the Happy Anniversary from the Number of Years stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2¾” by 2¾” before running it through the Big Shot with a circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I stamped around the edges of the die cut circle using the same images. I die cut an Early Espresso scalloped circle from a 3” x 3” piece of cardstock and the Layering Circle dies and added it to the back with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin Up
I added some Fast Fuse to the back of the Early Espresso circle and adhered some messy Copper Metallic Thread. This piece was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I like the card and so did my husband……..hooray.

The Christmas Sweaters stamp set made for great projects at classes this we made 3 gorgeous cards and got covered in red ink and glitter……………….what’s not to like…..
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
We started with a simple card, stamping the adorable ‘fairy light sweater’ image using Momento Tuxedo Black ink across a panel of Whisper White 5⅞” by 1¾”. We then randomly coloured in the lights using Real Red, Pool Party and So Saffron ink pads and Blender Pens. After colouring we added the stamped piece to a layer of Pool Party 5⅞” by 2” and then to a Real Red layer 5⅞” by 2¼” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
We stamped the sentiment from the Star of Light stamp set using Real Red ink onto the Thick Whisper White card base before adding the stamped panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. This would be a great card to mass produce.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
For the second card we stamped the ‘gingerbread’ jumper using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. We coloured it in using Real Red, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and So Saffron ink pads and Blender Pens before using a circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies and the Big Shot to cut it out. We also die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Real Red cardstock using the Layering Circle dies and glued the 2 layers together. The scalloped circles were added to one of the gorgeous Foil Snowflakes.
We stamped the jumper randomly onto a Pool Party panel 5⅜” by 3⅝”using Pool Party ink then wrapped a length of ⅛” Real Red Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to a Pool Party card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the Foil Snowflake and the piece was added to the card front. To finish the card we added a bow made using the ⅛” Real Red Ribbon and adhered it using a Mini Glue Dot.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
We used the ‘Santa Sweater’ to make the third card. The image was stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut using a square from the Stitched Shapes framelit dies. The sweater was then coloured in using the Real Red Marker Pen. We added colour to Santa’s glasses using the Crumb Cake ink pad and added colour to Santa’s face using a Calypso Coral Watercolor Pencil and the Blender Pens. He is such a jolly looking chap……. We covered his beard, mustache, eyebrows, hat brim and bobble with a thin coating of Tombow which we spread thinly using a cotton bud and covered it in Dazzling Diamonds Glitter………gorgeous. The stamped panel was added with Tombow to a square of Pool Party cardstock die cut using the Layering Squares dies.
We took a panel of Whisper White 5¼” by 3½”, inserted the lower right hand corner into the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot. We then randomly stamped the rest of the panel with the tiny stars from the Star of Light stamp set using Pool Party Ink. Two pieces of ⅛” Real Red Ribbon were then wrapped around the top of the panel and secured with Sellotape on the back. The stamped panel was then added with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Star of Light stamp set was stamped in Real Red ink onto a scrap of Pool Party cardstock, the end was flagged with scissors and added to the card front with Tombow.

Thank you to the lovely ladies who joined me for my Stamp-a-Stack events in September and October. We had a great time and made so many lovely cards.
All the projects were Christmas themed, in my opinion you can never start too early….. There were 5 tables with 2 cards designs on each table, the ladies made 2 of each card giving them a total of 20 cards.
On arrival each lady was given a bag containing a pack of Merry Little Christmas dsp, 20 card bases in co-ordinating colours – Whisper White, Old Olive and Real Red, a spool of ⅛” Real Red ribbon, 20 Whisper White Envelopes and packets of pre-cut card stock layers to make each card. I prepped the packs for the second Stamp-a-Stack when I was in the grip of a migraine and managed to miss-label some of the packs which caused some hilarity. Luckily I always bring spare cardstock and was able to rectify the mix up with no problems.

I have been using the Banners For You stamp set today to make a good luck card for a friend.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock 4 ½” by 3” which I die cut using the Big Shot and the 2nd largest die from the Lots of Labels framelits. I then took 2 of the leaf images from the Banners For You stamp set and the smallest leaf from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and randomly stamped them onto the die cut label using Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler inks. To get a depth of colour I used 1st & 2nd generation stamping. To fill in some of the gaps I used the dotty image from the Banners For You stamp set and Pumpkin Pie ink. I die cut a 2nd label in the same size from Crushed Curry cardstock, cut it across the middle with my Paper Trimmer and glued it to the stamped piece using Tombow Liquid Adhesive with the some of the colour showing at the top and the bottom.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I ran a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” through the Big Shot with the Layered Leaves Textured Embossing Folder before adhering the piece to the front of an Old Olive card base.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I stamped the banner from the Banners For You Stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it out using the Bunch of Banners framelits. I then stamped the greeting from the same stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the die cut banner. I die cut the banner again from a scrap of Old Olive cardstock and glued the 2 together slightly off set. The banner was then added to the stamped label using Stampin’ Dimensionals before the whole piece was added to the card front using Tombow. To finish the card of I added a scattering of Glitter Enamel Dots.
Love the Autumn colours of this card. I hope my friend likes it and that it brings her luck.

Today I have been using the gorgeous Hearts Come Home stamp set with some very non-traditional colours for a quirky modern look.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Hearts Come Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I began by running a 5½” by 3¾” piece of Rose Red cardstock through the Big Shot with the lacy edgelit die. I love this die it gives such a cool effect. I then wrapped a length of Emerald Envy ⅛” ribbon around the panel, securing it to the back with Sellotape. I glued the whole panel to a Crumb Cake card base and stamped the sentiment from the Merry Patterns stamp set in Emerald Envy ink in the lower right hand corner.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Hearts Come Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I took a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the houses in Emerald Envy, Perfect Plum and Rose Red ink and added a tree in the Emerald Envy. I die cut the stamped houses using an oval from the Stitched Shapes framelits and added it with Tombow Liquid Adhesive to a scalloped oval die cut from Perfect Plum cardstock using the Layering Ovals framelits.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Hearts Come Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals I centred the oval over the ribbon on the card front and added a bow made from the same Emerald Envy ⅛” ribbon. I really like the card and I think the colour combo works really well. What do you think?

I saw a fantastic video on Youtube recently by Brandy Cox, a fab American demonstrator, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOn6qnSxLpg showing some cards she had made using the quirky Christmas Sweaters stamp set. I loved them all but my favourite was the Santa jumper. Here is my take on it.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweater by Stampin’ Up!
I stamped the jumper using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it out using the Stitched Shapes framelits and the Big Shot. I coloured the jumper in using an Old Olive marker, the hat with the Real Red Marker, Santa’s face with the Pink Pirouette Marker, Santa’s glasses with the Sahara Sand Marker and the ribbed area around the neck, cuffs and bottom of the jumper with the Soft Sky Marker.
I followed Brandy’s tip and covered the beard, moustache, eyebrows, rim of the hat and the pompom in Tombow Liquid Adhesive and spread it around using a cotton bud taking care to stay away from the stamped black edge. I then covered the image with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and it looked fabulous, so sparkly. I added this piece to a scalloped square which had been die cut using the Layering Squares dies and Old Olive cardstock.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweater by Stampin’ Up!
I took a layer of Real Red cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot with the Winter Wonder embossing folder on the right hand side of the panel. I really love the effect this gives. I stamped the sentiment from the Merry Patterns stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Everyday Label punch. I punched again using a scrap of Old Olive cardstock and mounted the stamped piece on top and slightly offset so that the colour peeked out the bottom.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweater by Stampin’ Up!
I added the sentiment to the lower left hand corner of the Real Red panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added the Santa sweater image over the top using Stampin Dimensionals. The whole panel was then added to a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow.
I love how sparkly and festive this card is, love it. Thanks for the inspiration Brandy.

Today, I am sharing a card I made for my lovely upline Mikaela to congratulate her on achieving the Alaska incentive trip. She has put so much time and effort into winning this trip for herself and her family and so deserves it. She is an amazing mentor and team leader. Go Mikaela…………x
www.crafty-rootes.com – Large Letters Dies by Stampin’ Up! for a congratulations card
AS the trip is to Alaska the card had to have an icy theme so I started by using the snowflakes from the, oh so versatile, Colorful Seasons stamp set. I stamped them in Island Indigo ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 7⅞” by 3⅞”. I knew the card base had to be long to accommodate all those letters……….. I took the stamped panel to the Big Shot and die cut the letters A, L, A, S, K, A from the panel using the Large Letter framelit dies. I then ran the same letters through again using lots of scrap Whisper White cardstock until I had a total of 4 of each of the letters – 12 A’s in total…….
www.carfty-rootes.com – Large Letters framelit dies to spell Alaska
Using Tombow Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped layer with the cut out letters onto a panel of the gorgeous, new Champagne Glimmer paper. I took each letter in turn and adhered 3 Whisper White die cuts to the back to form a stack of each letter 4 pieces high; before adding each letter back into the appropriate space on the stamped panel. I love the dimension the stacks of letters give to this project.
www.crafty=rootes.com – Large Letters Dies by Stampin’ Up! for a congratulations card
I added some of the tiny stars from the Star of Light stamp set in So Saffron ink along the top above the letters and glued the whole panel to an Island Indigo card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added a 7⅞” by 3⅞” piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside having stamped down the edge using the snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set in Island Indigo, Pacific Point, Marina Mist and Pool party ink. I added the sentiment from the Lift Me Up stamp set which seemed so appropriate in Island Indigo ink. I stamped the envelope using the same stamps and colours.

I really love the simplicity of the card and really hope Mikaela likes it.
