Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects with a vintage theme. I have made a card for a friend who is off travelling soon using the Watercolor World stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the vintage map card, you will need:

Pecan Pie card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5¾” by 4”
Pebbled Path card – 2½” by ½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾”

I mounted the large Watercolor World stamp onto the large plate of the Stamparatus and inked it up with Pecan Pie ink. I stamped it onto the larger panel of Very Vanilla card. I inked the image up again with Pebbled Path ink very lightly and not all over and stamped again.

Using a Sponge Dauber, I aged a little Crumb Cake ink in places and stamped again.

I then ripped the stamped panel on all 4 sides and used a Bone Folder to break down the fibres and soften the panel.

The panel was then screwed up to make it look aged. Using a Blending Brush I added Crumb Cake ink all over the map following up with Pebbled Path around the edges.

I added Pebbled Path ink around the Pecan Pie card base and added the map using Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the On The Ocean stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Pebbled Path card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it with a Heat Tool. This was added to the card front.

Snow Crystal one sheet wonder for the Christmas Stampathon

Posted on July 2, 2023June 30, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the cards I made for this months Christmas Stampathon where our theme is ‘Snow & Ice’. I decided to use the large Snow Crystal stamp to make a one sheet wonder using the baby white technique and icy colours.

Colours used to make these cards:

To recreate the snow crystal card, you will need:

6 Card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I chose Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape – Rounded upper right corner
6 matting layers – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – I chose Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia & Gorgeous Grape – Rounded upper right corner
1½ A4 sheets of Basic White card – after stamping these were cut down to give 6 panels measuring 5¼” by 3½” and rounded the upper right corners
6 Basic White panels – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside – Rounded upper right corner

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Snow Crystal stamp used to make a one sheet wonder using the baby wipe technique for the Christmas Stampathon

I began by laying 3 damp baby wipes on a plate, one on top of the other. I then added spots of re-inker to fill the centre of the baby white layers to make a sort of ink pad. I used Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape & Parakeet Party.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Snow Crystal stamp used to make a one sheet wonder using the baby wipe technique for the Christmas Stampathon

The large snow crystal image was then inked up using the makeshift ink pad and stamped down the length of the 1½ A4 sheets of Basic White card. I twisted the image around so that the colour on the stamp was different each time. I then stamped again from side to side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Snow Crystal stamp used to make a one sheet wonder using the baby wipe technique for the Christmas Stampathon

The stamped sheets were then cut down into 6 panels each measuring 5¼” by 3½”. I rounded the upper right corner of each panel having decided which were to be portrait and which landscape.

The stamped panels were then glued to the matting layers with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon around 5 of the cards – I ran out so used a piece of the silver trim ribbon instead – the ribbon was adhered on the back with Sellotape. The panels were then added to the card bases using the same liquid glue.

I die cut 6 labels using the Something Fancy dies and stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate with Tags stamp set in either Blueberry Bushel or Gorgeous Grape ink onto the labels. These were then added to the card fronts on Dimensionals.

The same image was then mounted onto the Stamparatus Plate and stamped in the same ink onto the Silicon craft sheet. I repeated this step to make sure I had a good strong image.

I lifted the silicon sheet up, turned it face down and placed it onto the Basic White panel next to the previously stamped turtle. I rubbed it lightly and left it in position for a minute or two to allow the ink to transfer.
