A pretty gilded heart card for someone you love and for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Gilded Heart for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop

Posted on February 13, 2021February 13, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Love is in the Air’. I have made a gilded heart card using the pretty Touched my Heart stamp set and some gold gilding flakes.

Colours used in this project are:

Blackberry Bliss

Basic White

To recreate the gilded heart card, you will need:

Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾”
Oh So Ombre dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

Taking the panel of Oh So Ombre dsp, I stamped the sweet dainty heart using Versamark ink. I added Heat & Stick Powder, heat set it with my heat tool and covered it with Gold Gilding Flakes. I used my fingers and a piece of Stampin Sponge to rub in the gilding flakes and to remove the excess flakes.

I then stamped the sentiment from the Treasures of Life Stamp set in the same Versamark ink, added Heat & Stick Powder and again covered it with Gold Gilding Flakes and repeated the rubbing off the excess.

I added strips of Tear & Tape to all 4 sides of the panel, removed the backing paper and added the Gold gilding Flakes, working them in with fingers and sponge. So pretty.

I wrapped the gold twine from the Forever Greenery ribbon pack three times around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then added to the larger Basic White layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Flowers on Black for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 13, 2021February 11, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects we have been working on. If you saw my blog post on the 31^st January you will be aware that I have been enjoying playing with the fussy cut flowers and leaves from one of the sheets of Flower & Field dsp. I am using the flowers again today to make a thank you card.

If you have hopped over from Annette’s blog, welcome.

To recreate the Flowers & Field card, you will need:

Basic Black – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black – 5½”” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½”” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Basic Black – 3½” by 2½”

I started by running the Basic Black panel through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. This was glued to the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp. Ink. Share. Blog hop – Flower & Field dsp for a flowers on black thank you card

Using Versamark ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set onto the small piece of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. This was then die cut using the Stitched Shapes dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp. Ink. Share. Blog hop – Flower & Field dsp for a flowers on black thank you card

I added the die cut sentiment to the card front on Dimensionals.

Then, I arranged all the flowers and leaves – fussy cut from the gorgeous Flowers & Field dsp – around the sentiment using either liquid glue and/or Dimensionals.

Fireworks at New Year

Posted on December 29, 2020December 29, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop where our theme is ‘New Year’s Eve Party’, I have used the gorgeous Beauty Abounds stamp set and the Joseph’s Coat technique to suggest a night sky lit up with fireworks at New Year.

To recreate the Fireworks at New Year card, you will need:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Daffodil Delight – 5½“ by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 3

I used daubers to cover one of the Whisper White panels with splotches of colour using the Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Pacific Point and Just Jade ink pads.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Fireworks at New Year using the Joseph’s Coat Technique for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Next, I randomly stamped the larger bokeh dot image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set across the same panel, rotating the stamp each time. I then covered the panel with Clear Embossing Powder. The embossing powder was the heat et using my Heat Tool.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Fireworks at New Year using the Joseph’s Coat Technique for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

I then used my Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad to swipe across the embossed panel until the whole piece was covered with a heavy layer of black ink………and yes, I did get really, really messy…… Taking a small, damp cloth I wiped each or the embossed images clean of black ink revealing the gorgeous vibrant colours underneath.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Fireworks at New Year using the Joseph’s Coat Technique for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Using the Playful Alphabet Dies I die cut the word HAPPY and the numbers 2021 from Foam Adhesive Sheet. Using washi tape to hold the letters together I die cut the word HAPPY and the year 2021 from the embossed and inked panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Fireworks at New Year using the Joseph’s Coat Technique for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Each letter or number was then stuck to its foam counterpart. The embossed panel was adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to another of the Whisper White panel. Using a Basic Black Marker I inked around the edges of the panel – in hind sight I would have been better to have used a Basic Black Panel – before adhering it to the Daffodil Delight layer with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Fireworks at New Year using the Joseph’s Coat Technique for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

The die cut letters were then placed back in the negative spaces and the embossed patched painted with Clear Wink of Stella and voila, the card was finished.
