An embossed Christmas card and using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks by Stampin' Up!

Adorning Designs for the Ink and Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on October 28, 2021October 22, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop where we are showcasing tools. I have chosen to use the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks to make a pretty embossed and inked Christmas card.

Colours used in these projects are:

To recreate the Adorning Christmas card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Coastal Cabana card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 6” by 6” which I later cut down to 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by 2”

I often forget about our masks but when I remember to use them, I love them. They are so versatile -did you know you can dry emboss using masks? This is only one of the cool techniques you can use masks for.

I chose the snowflake mask for my project today and if we are talking about tools, as well as the Masks I am using our great Blending Brushes

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Firstly, I chose the snowflake mask from the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks set. I knew I wanted to emboss my cardstock using the mask but wasn’t quite sure how to do it. After a bit of trial and error I found that the best combination was:

Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine
Base plate (1)
Clear acrylic plate (3)
Silicon Mat
Basic White card
Mask
Gray 3D Embossing Plate (4)

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

I kept the mask in place on top of the card stock, taped the mask down to some Grid Paper to hold it still and began to add colour using Blending Brushes.

Beginning at the bottom I applied Pool Party ink – I think my Blending Brush wasn’t clean as it looks like Granny Apple Green!

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Next, I added Coastal Cabana ink, followed by Fresh Freesia ink and finally Highland Heather ink. I removed the mask and cut the panel down to 5½” by 3¾” using my Paper Trimmer.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the embossed panel to the Coastal Cabana card layer.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

I wrapped a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape and added the whole panel to the Highland Heather card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped on the small piece of Basic White card in Highland Heather ink. I used the Seasonal Labels dies to cut the sentiment out.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

I added the label to the card front, over the ribbon and secured it down with Mini Glue Dots.

To complete the card, I added a bow made from the same ribbon and a trio of Pastel Pearls.

I made a second card in the same way but this time when the mask was removed, I added the left-over colour on the Blending Brushes to the background.

This panel was added to a Gorgeous Grape panel and then to a Thick Basic White card base.

Isn’t this a cool effect? Let me know which version you prefer.

Tossing Leaves for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop

Posted on October 9, 2021October 9, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Merry Merlot card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

I decided on which size circle die I was going to use for my sentiment and where I was going to position the sentiment on the card – then I drew round the inside of the die lightly with a pencil. This means I know where I need to position my images.

Using the large speckled stamp, I stamped around the pencil line in 2^nd generation Blushing Bride. I just wanted a little of this colour in the background.

I then added the other leaves one colour at a time starting with the largest in Merry Merlot ink. Next came Polished Pink ink then Smoky Slate ink.

The tiny flowers were stamped in Basic Gray or Merry Merlot, I inked up one flower at a time. The stamp panel was then adhered to the Merry Merlot panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped around both panels and secured on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glued to the Polished Pink card front with the liquid glue.

The sentiment, from the Biggest Wish stamp set was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto a circle die cut from the square of Basic White card using my chosen size of circle die. I adhered the stamped sentiment to a slightly larger Merry Merlot scalloped circle with liquid glue then cut the side off using my Paper Trimmer. It was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I added a bow with a Mini Glue Dot and a scattering of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels. Just to bling it up a little more I added a spritz or Clear Wink of Stella. So pretty.

A pretty spiral background for a penguin themed Christmas card made for the Background stamp Blog Hop

Tye-Dyed Penguin for the Backgrounds Blog Hop

Posted on October 7, 2021October 7, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Background stamps Blog Hop where, surprise, surprise we are using a backgrounds in the project we are sharing. I have made a tye-dyed penguin card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the tye-dyed penguin card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Fresh Freesia card – 5⅜” by 5⅝”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 4⅜” – this will be trimmed down to 5¼” by 3½”
2021 – 2023 In Color Shimmer Paper – 3” by 3”
Scrap – Black Glimmer, Daffodil Delight & Basic White

Using my Stamparatus. I stamped the Spiral Dye using Fresh Freesia ink onto the large panel of Basic White card. Leaving the stamp in position I turned the Basic White panel around 180° and re-stamped the image in Pool Party ink. This gives a cute double swirl effect. Love it.

The panel was then trimmed down, using my Paper Trimmer to 5¼” by 3½”. The panel was then added to the Fresh Freesia panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front using the same glue.

Using the Layering Circle Dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I cut a circle from the square of In Color 2021-2023 In Color Shimmer Vellum. This was adhered to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot in the centre.

I added a Wonderful Snowflake with a single dimensional in the centre in the middle of the shimmer vellum.

I punched the main part of the penguin from scrap Black Glimmer paper using the Penguin Builder Punch. The breast of the penguin was punched from Basic White card and glued it to the glimmer piece. The feet were punched from scrap Daffodil Delight card, they were added with Mini Glue Dot Mini Glue Dots. The beak was stamped with Daffodil Delight ink and the eyes were added with Matte Black Dots. The penguin was added to the card front with a blob of liquid glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamp set in Versamark ink onto a scrap of Fresh Freesia card. I covered it with Black Embossing Powder and heat set it using a Heat Tool. It was added to the card front with liquid glue.

A trio of Pastel Pearls completed the card. I hope you like it.
