Kite Delight for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on December 27, 2021January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been making a pretty card for the birthday of my friend’s daughter, she will be 8, using the Kite Delight stamp set from the upcoming January to June Mini Catalogue.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the kite delight card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Pool Party card – 5⅝by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner x 2 – one for the inside
Scrap Basic White

I die cut a circle from a 5” by 5” piece of copy paper using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine. The die cut paper was then laid over one of the Basic White panels and Pool Party ink applied with a Blending Brush to the cut-out circle. The paper mask was then removed.

Using Basic Gray ink, I stamped the string of bows and the string of stars onto the panel, overlapping the inked circle.

The two smaller kite images were stamped in Basic Gray ink onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed out using Scissors.

The Blessings of Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Artistic Dies, I die cut the spray of leaves from the panel of Basic Black, taking care not to get close to the edges.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Blessings of Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

I used the following dark Blends Markers – Magenta Madness, Blackberry Bliss, Night of Navy and Fresh Freesia to scribble blocks of colour onto the Vellum. I dipped an almost empty Clear Wink of Stella Brush to splatter and dab 90% alcohol onto the Vellum allowing the ink to spread and pool. The panel was then set aside to dry.

When the Vellum was dry, I trimmed off ¼” from the side and the bottom to decorate the inside panel and the envelope. The Vellum was then added to one the Basic White panels using tiny dabs of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The panel was then added to the Basic Black panel using the same liquid glue. I used Dimensionals to add the panel to the Magenta Madness card base.

The Many Messages stamp set was mounted on the Stamparatus plate, inked up with Basic Gray ink and stamped onto scrap Basic White card. I find these large background stamps much easier to manage using the Stamparatus.

Posted on December 23, 2021January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing our favourite Stampin’ Up! Products. So much to choose from – eventually I settled on our fabulous Stamparatus and decided to showcase the mirror technique and make a sweet mirrored campervan card for a friend’s anniversary.

Colours used in this project are:

I mounted the campervan image on the Stamparatus plate and stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the smaller panel of Basic White card. I moved the plate along 2 hinge steps, placed the Silicon Mat on top of the stamped image, inked up and stamped onto the Silicon Mat. I repeated this step to get a darker image.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a pretty poinsettia Christmas tree bauble on a rustic wood slice.

Tree Baubles for the December 2021 Class

Posted on December 17, 2021December 8, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing two pretty baubles designed for my December classes and made using the Poinsettia and Cabin dies.

Coloured we used are:

Poinsettia Bauble

Wood Slice – I got mine here – https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B082HR4RV3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Real Red card – 8¼” by 3¼
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”
Scrap Gold Foil card
Jute Twine

We die cut and embossed the 3 layers of poinsettia petals from the Real Red card using the Poinsettia dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. They were then spayed, using a Spritzer, with a mixture of Frost White Shimmer Paint and Alcohol. They were then set aside to dry. The Frost White Shimmer Paint is sadly retired but you could use Clear Wink of Stella instead.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This beautiful rustic wood and poinsettia Christmas Tree bauble, fun & festive and made using Stampin’ Up! products

When they were dry, we curled the petals using a Bone Folder. The layers were then adhered together, offset, with Mini Glue Dots. We added the centre, die cut from Gold Foil card using the same Poinsettia Dies. It was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This beautiful rustic wood and poinsettia Christmas Tree bauble, fun & festive and made using Stampin’ Up! products

The completed Poinsettia was then added to the wood slice with a Dimensional.

The holly leaves. 1 large and 2 small, were cut and embossed from the piece of Garden Green card. They were tucked under the poinsettia and glued down with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This beautiful rustic wood and poinsettia Christmas Tree bauble, fun & festive and made using Stampin’ Up! products

We used some rustic jute twine from my stash to make a loop and bow to hang the bauble.

Cabin Bauble

Basic White circle – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Soft Suede – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”

Using a heavy-duty hole punch we punched a hole at the top of the wood circle.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a lovely tree bauble featuring a rustic Christmas cabin in the trees

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

I mounted the Birch background stamp on a Stamparatus plate, I find it easier to handle than the largest block, ink it up with Misty Moonlight ink and stamped it onto the bauble. It was then set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

Placing the Basic White circle on top of the Soft Suede circle I ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the detailed cabin die. We lifted the Basic White layer off the Soft Suede layer, leaving all the bits stuck on the Soft Suede piece. Using a Take Your Pick Tool we carefully lifted off the white scrap leaving the Soft Suede piece intact. The 2 pieces were then stuck together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. We added the cabin to the bauble on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

Using the dark, Soft Suede Blends Marker were coloured in the cabin and added Clear Wink of Stella to the cabin roof and the ground.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

The trees were then die cut from the Garden Green layer using trees from the Cain Dies and tucked around the cabin. Using either liquid glue or Dimensionals. We added a loop of twine to the top to hang the bauble.

These baubles were such fun to make, I hope you like them.
