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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Box of Pansies for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I am sharing the sweet box of pansies I have made for my Mum’s birthday tomorrow. I used a Youtube video by Sally Stampers as my inspiration

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the box of pansies, you will need:

Early Espresso card – 7” by 3” – scored on the long side at 1” and 3”
Early Espresso card – 7” by 4” – scored on the long side at 4” and 6”
Early Espresso card – 5” by ½” x 2 – scored at either end at ½”

Pansy Petals dsp – the sheet of leaves
Scrap Basic White

Placing the short end of the larger piece of Early Espresso card at the top of the Trimmer, score lines nearest the top. I cut at 2” down to the 2nd score line. This will leave a 4” by 4” piece which will be the back panel of the box and a side piece measuring 3” with a score line in the middle.

Fold and burnish the score lines on both the large Early Espresso panels. Adhere the panels together using the 1” tabs using a strong glue, I used Tear and Tape. This forms the box.

Fold and burnish the ½” tabs on the tin strip of Early Espresso card and attach these inside the box. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to do this so that I could manoeuvre them into position.

I accidently used a retired tag topper punch to shape the top of the gorgeous piece of Hand-penned dsp – a senior moment I fear …….. you could use either the Fancy Tag Topper Punch or the Delightful Tag Topper Punch.

Using the Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker I inked up the stem and leaves of the flower. I stamped it down onto the Basic White panel. I repeated this step to get a darker impression.

I used the Magenta Madness Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up the flower head and again repeated the process to get a good impression. The infill stamp was inked up in Flirty Flamingo ink, I stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping the colour over the flower head. I used the same 2nd generation Shaded Spruce ink to the leaves and stem using the infill stamp.

To complete the card, I added a trio of Artistry Blooms Sequins.

Although I would probably never have put these colours together, I actually really like this card.

Using the 2 largest images from the Hand-Penned stamp set I randomly stamped all over the large piece of Basic White using Evening Evergreen ink. I kept the images as close together as possible, turning them to get a good fit.

I cut one of these pieces in half again and mounted both strips onto one of the larger Basic White panels with the liquid glue. I wrapped a length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon around the panel before adhering it to the Daffodil Delight card base.  Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies I cut 2 labels, one from the small piece of Basic White and the other from the larger piece of Soft Succulent. The sentiment was stamped on the smaller label in Soft Succulent ink, the panels were the glued together and mounted on the card front on Dimensionals. I added a bow on a Mini Glue Dot.

Using one of the large images I stamped in Soft Succulent ink onto the Soft Succulent card base. The Basic White panel was added to the centre of the card front. The remaining stamped panel was added to the Evening Evergreen layer with liquid glue, then to the Basic White panel on the Soft Succulent card base. Using Polished Pink ink, I stamped the sentiment onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed it out with scissors. I added a scrap piece of Soft Succulent to the back of the sentiment and glued it to the card base.

A really simple cookie themed thank you card for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Blog Hop

Thank You Cookies for the Kylie Bertucci Demonstrator Training Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Kylie Bertucci Demonstrator Training Blog Hop where we are sharing the thank you cards made for our customers. You are currently with Mo Rootes from near Cambridge in the UK. This month I have made a thank you cookies card using the lovely Nothing’s Better Than stamp set. Who can resist a cookie?

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the Thank you Cookies card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Early Espresso – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 3” by 1¾”

 Taking one of the larger panels of Basic White I drew around the inside of one of the Tasteful Label Dies in the centre of the panel. This gave me a frame around which I could stamp the image.

I stamped the image of the cookie onto 2 Post It Notes and cut them out using sharp scissors. I used these as masks when stamping the images.

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the first cookie. I placed a mask over the stamped image and stamped again in 2nd generation Early Espresso ink. I continued stamping and masking around the pencil shape.

Using the in-fill stamp I coloured the images in 1st and 2nd generation Crumb Cake ink, masking in the same way. The stamped panel was added to the Crumb Cake card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The same glue was used to add the panel to the Crumb Cake card base.
