Christmas Mountain Air for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on July 10, 2021July 10, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are showcasing our favourite bundle. My favourite bundle is the gorgeous and so versatile Mountain Air stamp set and Majestic Mountain Die and I have created a Christmas Mountain Air card. I have used the stamps for my card today and paired it with the So Many Snowflakes Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Christmas Mountain Air card, you will need:

Pool Party base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Taking one of the smaller panels of Basic White, I stamped the detailed mountains in Misty Moonlight ink. I reversed the stamp, inked it again with Misty Moonlight ink, stamped off twice onto scrap paper before stamping it over the detailed mountains.

I inked the detailed trees with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped them below the mountains. I cleaned the stamped and inked it again in Pool Party and stamped it upside down below the trees to give the illusion of water.

Using a mask punched from a Post It Note with a ¾” Circle Punch, I added some Pool Party ink to the sky with a Blending Brush.

Using the So Many Snowflakes Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut out the centre from the other, identically sized, Basic White panels.

I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink and the bottom of the die cut panel. The panel was then added onto the stamped and inked panel with Dimensionals. The whole piece was added to the Misty Moonlight panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I inked up the trio of flowers from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya ink and added a dab of Polished pink ink to the centre of each flower using a dauber. I repeated this above and below the masked off area. The flower centres were added in Polished Pink ink using one of the smaller flowers.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty peach blossom themed thank you card for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

The leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink. I used the large spray of leaves, only inking up 2 or 3 at a time. I added a few of the tiny pair of leaves in the same ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty peach blossom themed thank you card for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

The trio of tiny flowers was stamped in Polished Pink ink to fill in some of the spaces and the image I used as a flower centre was stamped in Pale Papaya ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Pale Papaya card layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive before being added on Dimensionals to the Polished Pink card front.

Mountain Diorama card for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

Mountain Diorama for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on June 27, 2021June 17, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing a project we have been working on. I have been playing with the new Diorama Dies this week and have come up with this sweet card using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Mountain Diorama card, you will need:

Thick Basic White – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Soft Succulent – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Misty Moonlight – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Soft Succulent

I placed the smaller of the dies I planned to use on the Basic White panel to give an idea of positioning – you could draw around it with a pencil. I them stamped the tree from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Early Espresso ink. I stamped the ground image using Soft Succulent ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

Next, I stamped the detailed mountains in Misty Moonlight ink and added the mountain shadow in Misty Moonlight which I had stamped off twice to give a lighter shade.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

The tree line was stamped in Soft Succulent ink at the base of the mountains. I reversed the stamp and stamped it again upside down in 2^nd generation ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

I added a Post It Circle punched out using the 1” Circle Punch to the panel and used a Blending Brush to add Balmy Blue ink to my sky area. I then added Pool Party ink to the ground area using the Blending Brush. I added some definition to the tree using my White Chalk Marker.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

The diorama pieces were cut from the Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent layers. The Misty Moonlight was then added to the stamped piece with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The Soft Succulent layer was then added over the top on Dimensionals. The whole piece was added to the Thick Basic White card front using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

At this point I thought about a sentiment and choose to use part of a sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set. If I had thought about it before I would have stamped it directly onto the Soft Succulent panel…….. I ended up stamping it in Misty Moonlight ink onto a scrap or Soft Succulent card and fussy cutting it out. It was added with liquid glue.

I really, really like this card. I hope you like it.

The branch from the Garden Birdhouse stamp set was added at the top with Mint Macaron ink. I stamped the hanger from the tree in Balmy Blue ink and added the sweet birdhouse in Misty Moonlight ink.

The Ink & Inspirations blog hop theme this month is Let Your Colour Shinee and I have used the Garden Birdhouses stamp set to make a card

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty card for the Let Your Colour Shine themed Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

I used the Misty Moonlight Marker from the 2021-2023 In Color Markers pack to colour in parts of the birdhouse. Doesn’t it look sweet.

Using Versamark ink I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set onto the Misty Moonlight strip, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool. I flagged the end with scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty card for the Let Your Colour Shine themed Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Using the Peach Dies and the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine I cut some tiny flowers from the scrap Petal Pink card and added them to the tree with Mini Glue Dots.

I glued the stamped panel to the Misty Moonlight layer and then to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The sentiment was then added using the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty card for the Let Your Colour Shine themed Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on June 19, 2021June 19, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me for the June Ink, Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are CASing the catalogue, always fun. I have chosen to pretty painted poppies card on page 25 of the Annual Catalogue. I love the poppies in these soft colours with the pop of green, so pretty.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Pretty painted poppies CASE’d card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pretty painted poppies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3¼”
2021 – 2023 In Color dsp pack – 5⅞” by 1”
Scrap Pale Papaya & Basic White

I used the 2021 – 2023 In colour paper pack as I don’t have the pack used in the catalogue sample but I think the Soft Succulent piece works well. I added the strip of dsp to the Thick Basic White card base

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Pretty painted poppies CASE’d card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

The Basic White panel was run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Macrame Embossing Folder. This folder is rapidly becoming my current favourite. I added the embossed layer to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Pretty painted poppies CASE’d card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

I stamped the flowers and leaves in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut them out using the Painted Labels dies. I used Soft Succulent, Flirty Flamingo and Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the images.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Pretty painted poppies CASE’d card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Pale Papaya card and die cut using the smaller label from the Painted Label dies. I felt the larger label used on the original card was too big. The label was added to the card front with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Pretty painted poppies CASE’d card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

The flowers and leaves were then added with liquid glue or Dimensionals around the label.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty birthday card made using the Watercolor Shapes stamp set for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

I added the thinner rectangle in Polished Pink ink and finished with the square stamped in Poppy Parade ink. I deliberately over-lapped the images and colors. Don’t they work well together. The stamped panel was added to the Basic Black layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the layer, securing it on the back with Sellotape and then glued it to the Polished Pink panel.

A beautiful card featuring bleached daisies and made using Stampin' Up! products

Bleached Daisies for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on June 5, 2021June 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share blog hop where we are sharing anything we choose. I have decided to share a card made using the ‘bleaching’ technique.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the bleached daisies card, you will need;

Evening Evergreen card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
So Saffron card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Soft Succulent card – 5⅛” by 3½” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Scrap Basic White

I mounted the large Daisy Garden stamp onto the Stamparatus plate and place the Soft Succulent panel onto the base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

I inked the stamp in Soft Succulent ink and stamped it down, I repeated this step until the image was dark enough. The soft succulent panel was left in position on the Stamparatus base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

Using a dry Blender Pen I began to colour in the flowers using bleach. I love the effect this gives.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

When the bleach was dry, I inked up the stamp again with the Soft Succulent ink and stamped again over the top of the flowers to give the image more definition.

I glued the stamped panel to the So Saffron panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of the gorgeous Gold Shimmer Ribbon around the layer, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was added to the Evening Evergreen card base using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bleached daisies card made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop using the Dairy Garden stamp set

The sentiment from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink. I punched the sentiment out using the Tailored Tag Punch. The white tag looked so bright against the stamped image so I inked up the Daisy Garden stamp in Soft Succulent ink, stamped it off on scrap paper and stamped it over the sentiment. Much better. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
