I wanted to have 2 colours of flowers in the bouquet so added the Sweet Sorbet and Orchid Oasis inks using the 2022 – 2024 In Color Stamp ‘n Write Markers. Such a great technique. The leaves were then added in Parakeet Party ink.

This panel was then added to the Orchid Oasis panel with Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive.

At this point I decided I needed some of the smaller bottles in the picture. I initially tried masking off the original bottle but wasn’t happy with the results and ended up stamping the bottles in Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet ink onto scrap Basic White card and fussy cutting them out. The Sweet Sorbet bottle was cut down and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the Starry Sky bottle added on Dimensionals.

I stamped the floral image in the upper left and lower right corner of the Tahitian Tide card front using Tahitian Tide ink. The stamped panel was then added with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the strip of Basic White, trimmed down and flagged before it was added to the card front.

A bow made from the Starr Sky Ribbon and a trio of the 2022 – 2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots were added to complete the card.

Sit Stay Relax card

Posted on April 22, 2022May 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made for my daughter and son in law who have moved into their new house this week. I couldn’t resist making their card using the one of the new hostess stamp sets from the upcoming 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue called Sit Stay Relax. This sweet set features a small dog sitting on a chair which is exactly what their small dog Skye does whenever she thinks you aren’t looking.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Sit Stay Relax card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic Gray card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
In Good Taste dsp – 5½” by 3¾”

Basic White card – 3½” by 3½”

I glued the In Good Taste dsp to the Basic Gray panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to adhere the panel to the front of the Smoky Slate card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – An adorable dog on an armchair congratulations card made using the Sit Stay Relax stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using Basic Gray ink, I stamped the sweet image from the Sit Stay Relax stamp set onto the square of Basic White and used the Layering Circle Dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine to cut it out.

www.crafty-rootes.com – An adorable dog on an armchair congratulations card made using the Sit Stay Relax stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I used the Light Balmy Blue Blends marker to add the background behind the chair and coloured the sweet little dog in using the Soft Suede combo of Blends markers. The Eyes and nose were added with the dark Basic Black Blends marker.

I wanted to back the stamped image with a Starry Sky scalloped circle but we in Europe haven’t been able to order this colour cardstock yet. So, I die cut the scalloped circle from scrap Basic White card and dabbed the Starry Sky ink pad all around the edge to add colour, then set it to one side to dry. When it was dry I adhered to two circles together with the Liquid Glue and added them to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the strip of Basic White and the ends trimmed down. This piece was then added to the strip of Basic Gray, trimmed down in the same way and added to the card front with liquid glue.

I placed the dsp panel on the trimmer with the short side at the top and cut it down into ⅜” strips. The strips were then mixed up and glued onto the smaller Basic Black panel, again leaving a tiny gap between the strips. Cut off the excess and use these pieces to fill in the last couple of rows.
