A pretty strawberry lolly card made using the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and Berry Delightful dsp by Stampin' Up!

Strawberry Lolly for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on December 28, 2020January 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Stampers Showcase blog hop, our last one of 2020 and this month’s theme is ‘Sale-A-Bration’. I really, really wanted to use the gorgeous Berry Delightful dsp – can’t believe it is a free sale-a-Bration choice along with the co-ordinating stamp set Berry Blessings.

If you have hopped over from Wendy Lee Or you are starting with me, Mo Rootes I hope you will find lots of inspiration on this hop.

To recreate my strawberry lolly card, you will need:

Poppy Parade – 9½” by 4” scored at 4” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5¼” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 3⅞ by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right corner
Berry Delightful dsp – 3¾” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Granny Apple Green – 3” by 3”
Whisper White 3” by 3”
Whisper White 5½” by 1” – scored at 1”
Oh So Ombre dsp – 4¼” by ¾”
Scrap Whisper White

The piece of Berry Delightful dsp reminded me of a picnic blanket my parents had when I was a child, summer days and strawberries…… I can’t wait….

I adhered the dsp to the square panel of Whisper White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the card front.

I took the long thin strip of Whisper White, folded on the 1” score line and glued the 1” square tab to the inside of the card base. I stamped the strawberry in Poppy Parade ink and the top in Granny Apple Green ink onto the largest panel of Whisper White card and adhered it to the inside of the card to hide the stuck down tab.

I glued down the Oh So Ombre dsp- another free choice in the Sale-A-Bration brochure – to the front of the Whisper White strip using the liquid glue.

Using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the layering Circle Dies I die cut a plain circle from the smallest piece of Whisper White and a scalloped circle from the Granny Apple Green square. I adhered the Granny Apple Green scalloped circle behind the 1” wide strip using the liquid glue.

I stamped the lolly tick in Crumb Cake ink onto the White Circle and added the lolly in Poppy Parade, love the textured look of these stamps. The stamped circle was then added to the front of the Granny Apple Green scalloped circle using Dimensionals.

I stamped the flower and leaves from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and added then to the card front on Dimensionals. They were positioned so that they held the circle panel in position.

The sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set was cut with the Messages dies and was added to the card front with glue. I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love it and I hope you do too.

Posted on December 14, 2020December 7, 2020 by Mo Rootes

The theme for the hop is ‘Thank You’ and I am sure you will find lots of inspiration as you hop along with us

You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the hop list at the bottom of this post so please hop along with us today.

To recreate my Customer Thank You card you, will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Oh So Ombre dsp – 4¾” by 3¼” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White card – 4½” by 3” – Rounded upper left corner

Art Gallery stamp set, Floral Gallery dies and Oh So Ombre dsp used for sneak peek customer thank you cards

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I began by stamping the stem and leaves from the gorgeous new stamp set called Art Gallery stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the texture this gives to the layer.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The stamped and embossed panel was added, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Oh So Ombre dsp – one of the free choices with a £45 order in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I used a piece of the Ornated Garden Ribbon to wrap around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape. Yes, I know the ribbon is Old Olive but it tones so well with the Granny Apple Green ink that I think I can get away with it.. The whole piece was then added to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The flower is a 3-step image and I started by stamping the solid image in Flirty Flamingo ink. I added the more detailed image in Merry Merlot ink and finished with the small, centre in Early Espresso ink. Doesn’t it look fabulous….. I cut is out using the co-ordinating Floral Gallery dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green ink, cut it out with one of the sweet labels from the same die set and added it to the card with liquid adhesive. The pearls were coloured with a Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker and added to the card front to complete the card.

I hope you and my customers like the cards.

Colour Combo Blog Hop

Posted on December 13, 2020December 8, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Colour Combo Blog Hop where you will find lots of inspiration using this month’s colours which are Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite & Real Red. Don’t you think this is a really unusual colour combo? If you are starting the hop with me or have joined from Amanda Farlinger’s blog, you are very welcome.

To recreate the colour combo card, you will need:

Gray Granite card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 3⅝” by 1⅛”
Whisper White card – 3⅝” by 1”

Taking one of the Whisper White panels and some Post It Notes I masked off a 1” strip about ⅔ up from the bottom.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

I decided to use the Forever Fern stamp set to make my card and started by inking up the largest leafy image with Gray Granite ink. The image was stamped above and below the masked off strip.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Next, I added the round leafed image using the Real Red ink. I filled in the gaps using the 2 smaller leafy images in Cinnamon Cider ink. I love that we have the same image going in different directions.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

To pull the whole thing together I added a scattering of dots from the same stamp set using Gray Granite ink. The Post It Notes were then removed and the whole layer was added to the Real Red layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the Gray Granite card base using the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set was stamped on the strip of Whisper White in Real Red ink. I decided it looked unfinished so stamped again on either side of the sentiment using the Gray Granite and Cinnamon Cider inks. I liked that much better.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment strip was then added to the Real Red strip using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the card front on Dimensionals. I added a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love these colours together, don’t you?

Joy of Sets Blog Hoo where the theme is Christmas Music. I have chosen In the Bleak Midwinter

In the Bleak Midwinter – Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Posted on December 12, 2020December 12, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me today for the very last Joy of Sets Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas Music’. I chose the carol – ‘In the Bleak Midwinter, frosty winds may moan. Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone’ and chose the Snow Front stamp set to create my snowy/icy scene. If you have hopped over from Gez Carpenter or started with me, you are very welcome.

To recreate the In the Bleak Midwinter card. you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”
Whisper White – 3¾” by 2¾”
Soft Suede – 3” by 1⅜”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I began by randomly stamping the group of trees from the Snow Front stamp set in Balmy Blue ink across the Balmy Blue card front to add a bit of texture. I added the panel of Soft Suede card to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it aside.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

The mountains from the Snow Front stamp set were stamped in 3^rd generation Highland Heather ink for a subtle background.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Using a piece of copy paper, I tore a wavy edge and used one of the new Blending Brushes to add a little Balmy Blue ink onto the stamped piece, creating layers of snow banks.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

The cottage was then stamped in Soft Suede ink. I added a variety of trees from the same stamp set in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation Shaded Spruce ink to add some depth to the image. The icy path was added in Balmy Blue ink and the sweet pair of deer in Soft Suede, aren’t they adorable.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Taking a Post It Note I punched out a ¾” circle, added it to the top of the image and used the Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to give the illusion of a winter sky. I added a little Misty Moonlight around the top to give some depth. To add to the illusion of icy conditions I sprayed the stamped panel with Frost White Shimmer Spray.

The finished piece was added to the Shaded Spruce panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I think this is so pretty but if I am honest doesn’t look all that bleak…….. What do you think?

A beautiful wicker 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

3D Poinsettia Wreath- Stampin ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on November 13, 2020November 13, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘3D’. If you have hopped over from the lovely Jill Chapman, you are very welcome. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes in the UK. Please continue to hop through to see all the inspiration the other participants have to share.

I have chosen to share the wreath I have made for my lovely Mum who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease and is in a care home. As we are currently in lockdown in an effort to stop the rise of Covid-19, we are unable to visit her. I made her this pretty Poinsettia Wreath for the lovely staff who care for her to hang on her door.

To recreate the 3D Poinsettia Wreath, you will need:

Real Red card stock
Flirty Flamingo card stock
Garden Green stock
Soft Sea Foam card stock
Whisper White card stock
Silver Foil card

Taking the stunning Metallic Mesh Ribbon, I started wrapping it loosely around a pretty wicker wreath bought from a local craft store. I love this ribbon; it is so light and fragile looking but adds such a pop of style.
