I stamped the fern image in So Saffron ink, 1^st and 2^nd generation onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. I then used the Nature’s Thoughts dies to cut out the decorative rectangle. This is such a pretty die cut.

A beautiful card featuring the arctic bears and mountain air stamp sets by Stampin' Up! for the Stamp 'N Hop Blog Hop

CASEd Bear for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on November 12, 2021November 13, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we have been asked to CASE each other. CASEing means copy and share everything or copy and selectively edit and I have chosen the second version.

After a lot of research and fun looking at the blogs of my fellow demos I have chosen to CASE this card designed by Annette Elias

Annette Elias card featuring a Bear

I love her style, so different from mine. I tend to go for clean and simple where Annette loves to layer and embellish. I just wish I had her talent.

Here is my simplified version of her beautiful card using 2 of my favourite bundles.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the CASEd card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored at 5⅞”
Shaded Spruce card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Soft Suede card – 3½” by 2”
Scrap Shaded Spruce card

Using Misty Moonlight ink, I inked up the detailed mountain image and stamped it onto the panel of Basic White card. I cleaned the stamped, reversed it on my block, inked it up again and stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping it slightly higher and off set to give the mountains some depth.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bear CASEd card made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop using the Arctic Bears & Mountain Air stamp sets

I stamped the row of trees at the base of the mountains in Shaded Spruce ink.

The row of trees image was then inked in Pool Party ink, turned upside down and stamped again three times without re-inking to give the illusion of water.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bear CASEd card made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop using the Arctic Bears & Mountain Air stamp sets

I added a ½” punched circle to the skyline, to mask off a moon. Using a Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue ink to make the sky. The birds were added with Misty Moonlight ink. The stamped panel was added to the Shaded Spruce layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then mounted on the card front using the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bear CASEd card made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop using the Arctic Bears & Mountain Air stamp sets

A tree was die cut from the scrap Shaded Spruce card using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Majestic Mountains Dies. I added it to the card front with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bear CASEd card made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop using the Arctic Bears & Mountain Air stamp sets

The bear was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the panel of Soft Suede and trimmed out with using scissors. I could have cut it out with the co-ordinating dies but wanted it cut tighter to the stamped edge. The bear was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Christmas Pinecones Classes

Posted on November 12, 2021November 11, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the cards made for my November classes featuring the gorgeous Christmas Pinecones Dies. I don’t know about you, but I looked at the large intricate dies and wondered how I could use them ….. other then the obvious – die cut, add to the card front and slap a sentiment in the middle. I wanted to show my ladies the versatility of cutting the die cut piece apart.

Colours used in this project are:

The first thing we did was to die cut the large detailed foliage die from a ¼ sheet of Garden Green card. This is the piece that we cut apart and used on all our cards.

We always start with the fiddliest, most complicated card first, the idea being that we get this over while we are still concentrating!!

Christmas Pinecone Fun Fold

Soft Succulent card base – 6½” by 5⅞” scored at 2⅜”

Scrap Soft Suede & Gold Foil
Basic White Envelope

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Christmas Pinecones Die used to make 3 rustic pine cone and foliage themed Christmas cards for November 2021 classes

We embossed panel the narrow Garden Green panel using the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and added it to the smaller front flap of the Soft Succulent card base. The Gold Foil strip was then butted up to it.

We used either the pinecone or sprig to decorate the large Basic White panel and glued it to the inside of the card

We added glue to the left-hand side of the Crumb Cake scalloped rectangle – which I had cut ahead of time using the Scalloped Contour Dies, and added it to the left flap of the card base.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped in Garden Green onto the white card, die cut using one of the labels from the Seasonal Labels dies and add to the Crumb Cake panel on Dimensionals.

The detailed pinecone (gold) and Soft Suede pinecone base – cut by me ahead of time using the Seasonal Labels Dies, were glued together then and added to the label front with glue and/or dimensionals.

We then snipped apart the foliage from the large die cut and tucked sprigs behind the pinecones.

We flagged the ends of the Crumb Cake layer and added it to the Garden Green card base.

We embossed the Soft Succulent panel as above and added the panel to the smaller Basic White layer and added the strip of Gold Foil to the side. This piece was then mounted on the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on the label, which I had die cut ahead of time and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We assembled the die cut pinecones and added then with sprigs of foliage behind the label.

We embossed the garden green panel with the same Wintry 3D Embossing Panel and added it to the Crumb Cake card front. The Gold Foil strip was added above it

The sentiment was stamped on the previously die cut label and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We assembled the die cut pinecones and added then with sprigs of foliage onto the top of the label.
