Today I am sharing a pretty card designed using the Summer Shadow Dies as my customer Make & Take for August 2021. Anyone who orders from me during the month will get this kit through the mail with instructions on how to make the card.
To recreate the Summer Shadow card, you will need:
Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner Evening Evergreen – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded upper left corner, one for the inside Pansy Petals dsp – 5½” by 1” Pansy Petals dsp – 4” by ½” Scrap Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Soft Succulent and Basic White
I began by gluing the 1” wide strip of striped dsp to one of the Basic White panels. Add the piece of gingham dsp on top towards the right-hand side. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink. My customers will have to chose a sentiment from their own stash.
The whole panel was added to the Evening Evergreen layer with the same glue and I used the same glue to adhere the panel to the Fresh Freesia card base.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Summer Shadow Dies used to make a pretty floral card for my August customer make & take.
I used liquid glue to adhere the die cut detailed flowers to the flower bases. I had to move them around until they lined up. The liquid glue was squeezed out onto my Silicon Craft Mat, picked up with a Sponge Dauber and dabbed on the back of the detailed flower.

Using my Bone Folder I curved the flowers to give them some shape. The darker flower was then glued to the card base with a spot of liquid glue in the centre.

The second, lighter coloured flower was added on a Dimensional and the leaf tucked behind and secured with a dab of liquid glue.
I added a 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewel to the centre of each flower and a third to the jewel to the background.

For this month’s classes we have been playing with Blends Markers and Alcohol using the Artistically Inked stamp set and co-ordinating Artistic Dies. This card was designed to show the versatility of the Blends Alcohol Markers.
To use on 2 of the cards you will need ½ a sheet of Vellum card which will be cut down and/or die cut into after being inked and allowed to dry
We began the class by creating the inked Vellum sheet. We used the dark Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Inking Vellum technique using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
We then, using a pipette dropped small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum allowing the ink to start spreading. Smaller drops were added with a paintbrush and some people blurred the lines between colours with a paintbrush. Some chose a more subtle blending by spraying the alcohol on with a Spritzer, allowing the colours to run.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Inking Vellum technique using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry while we got on with making the first card.
To recreate the Single Flower card, you will need:
Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner Daffodil Delight card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside Scrap Basic White card
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Alcohol inking direct to stamps using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
Taking the largest flower from the stunning Artistically Inked stamp set, we added ink directly to the stamp using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker. The inked stamp was then misted with alcohol using a Stampin’ Spritzer and stamped down onto the Basic White panel.
The double leaf image was inked in the same way with the Just Jade Blends Marker and spritzed before stamping beside the flower.
The flower centre was stamped in Bumblebee ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It was added to the centre of the flower on a Dimensional.
We added the sentiment from the same stamp set in Bumblebee ink before gluing the stamped layer to the Daffodil Delight panel. This was then added to the Magenta Madness card front on Dimensionals.
Using the dark Just Jade Blends Marker we coloured 3 Basic Pearls and added them to the card front.
Using a 2-way glue pen we drew stripes onto the pink flower, radiating out from the centre and rubbed on some Gold Gilding Flakes for a little sparkle
To recreate the intricate flowers and leaves card, you will need
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” Pumpkin Pie card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” Vellum card – see note below Basic Black card – 4¼” by 4” Scrap Basic Black card
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful card made using the Artistic Dies and a panel of alcohol inked Vellum made using the Stampin’ Blends Markers
We cut the inked vellum panel down to 5½” by 3¾” and squeezed out some liquid adhesive onto a Silicon mat and using a sponge, spread the glue lightly over the back of the Vellum before sticking it down to the Basic White panel. The white background really makes the colours shine.
This layer was then added with liquid glue to the Pumpkin Pie panel and then added to the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.
Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine we die cut the gorgeous intricate flowers and leaves from the panel of Basic Black card and added it to the card front using the glue on a sponge technique.
The sentiment from was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic Black card, covered by White Embossing Powder and set using a Heat Tool. When the embossing was dry, we coloured it using the Magenta Madness and Daffodil Delight Blends markers.
The sentiment was trimmed out and the ends flagged before it was added to the card front on Dimensionals. So pretty.
To recreate the spray of leaves card, you will need
Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner Magenta Madness card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner Basic White card 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner Vellum – see note Magenta Madness – 3¾” by ¼” Daffodil Delight scalloped oval Basic White scrap
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Alcohol inked Vellum used to die cut stunning delicate leaves for a pretty card using Stampin’ Up! products
From the left-over panel of inked Vellum we die cut the intricate leaves and added them suing the glue on a sponge technique to the panel of Basic White. This was then added to the Magenta Madness layer using the liquid glue.
The strip of Magenta Madness card was then added with liquid glue to the bottom for the die cut leaves. The whole piece was the added to the Thick Basic White card front with liquid glue.
The sentiment was stamped in Magenta Madness ink onto scrap Basic White, punched out using the Double Oval Punch and glued it to the Daffodil Delight scalloped oval punched out using the same punch. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
Using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker we coloured in a piece of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, tied a bow and added it to the card front. We also coloured a trio of Basic Pearls with the same pink Blends Marker and added then to the card front.
Such striking cards, I hope you like them.

My Mum loves a Christmas Robin and I made this card for her. Sadly she has dementia and no longer recognises us when we visit but I hope this cheerful robin will bring a smile to her face.
To recreate the Christmas Robin card, you will need:
Old Olive card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” Soft Suede card – 4⅝” by 3⅛” Fluid 100 watercolor card – 4½” by 3” Poppy Parade card – 5⅞” by 2⅛” Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” Very Vanilla scrap
We Brits. are so happy to have a Robin stamp, it is such an iconic bird here is the UK and especially so at Christmas. I mounted the lovely robin image onto one of the Stamparatus plates, inked it up with Sahara Sand ink and stamped in onto the small panel of Fluid 100 watercolor card. Because this card has a textured surface, I like to use the Stamparatus in case I need to stamp the image a second time.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty traditional robin themed Christmas card made using the Happy Holly-Days stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I used the following colours to watercolor the robin – Sahara Sand, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Gray Granite, Old Olive & Poppy Parade. I added a little of each colour to an acrylic block and used a Water Painter to pick up the ink and apply it to the bird. Doing it this was means that I can blend inks together to achieve different shades of colour.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty traditional robin themed Christmas card made using the Happy Holly-Days stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
The eye of the bird was outlined using a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Maker and I used a Chalk Marker to add the highlight to the eye.I flagged both ends of the Poppy Parade strip and added it to the Old Olive card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty traditional robin themed Christmas card made using the Happy Holly-Days stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
Using the Stamparatus again, I stamped the sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set in Poppy Parade ink. I repeated the inking and stamping to get a darker colour. The stamped panel was then added to the Soft Suede layer with the same liquid glue. The topper was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I tied a large bow using the Gold Elegant Trim and added it to the card front using a Dimensional. The holly was stamped in Old Olive ink and coloured using Old Olive and Poppy Parade ink and my Water Painters. The coloured image was then fussy cut using scissors and added over the bow using Mini Dimensionals.

I love this card; I think my water colouring needs a bit of work but the bird is so pretty. I hope you like it
