Floating & Fluttering in pink for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on April 10, 2021April 9, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our them is ‘Anything Goes’. Whoo hoo, this is where we get to share anything that we like and have been working on. I am sharing a Floating & Fluttering in Pink card which was originally designed nearly a year ago for an in-person class and never used.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the floating & fluttering in pink card, you will need:

Blushing Bride card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Highland Heather – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – one for the inside
Scrap Basic Black

I stamped the butterfly image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto one of the Basic White panels. The centre of the stamped image was then die cut using the sweet label from the Painted Labels dies and the Cut & Emboss Machine.

The dotted line was then stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the stamped panel. The panel was then glued to the Highland Heather layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The same liquid glue was then added to the Blushing Bride card front.

Taking the die cut piece, I coloured in the butterflies and leaves using the in-fill stamps and Blushing Bride ink, Highland Heather ink, So saffron ink and Pear Pizzazz ink.

I inked up the same stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped onto the large panel of Basic White. The gorgeous butterflies were then die cut out using the Brilliant Wings Dies.

Taking the smallest stamped butterfly, I coloured it in using Magenta Madness Blends Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute male themed card using the While done stamp set and made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

I inked up the ‘seaweed’ image from the Whale Done stamp set using Pretty Peacock on the bottom and Just Jade ink I stamped down on the blended area. I stamped this multiple times in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation ink and at different levels.

The shoals of fish were added using So Saffron ink. The panel was then added onto one of the large Basic White panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive – roughly in the centre

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute male themed card using the While done stamp set and made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

I took the four panels of card stock measuring 4½” by 3” and cut them into thin strips, wider at one end than the other. Taking the strips, I added them to the 5¼” by 3½” layer of Basic White using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive leaving a small strip of white visible between the strips. I trimmed off any excess when the whole panel was covered.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut a scalloped rectangle from the centre. I cut the largest scalloped rectangle from the same die set from the panel of Misty Moonlight and used my Paper Trimmer to cut out the centre. This was added to the panel with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute male themed card using the While done stamp set and made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

The die cut panel was then adhered, using Dimensionals over the stamped panel leaving a small white border. The panel was then added to the Balmy Blue card base using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute male themed card using the While done stamp set and made for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

I inked up the Whale image using Balmy Blue ink then added Misty Moonlight to the top of the whale using the ink pad. This was stamped onto scrap Basic White card and punched out using the Whale Builder Punch. I added Dimensionals to the body and liquid glue to the head and added it to the card front. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the whale to give him a watery look.

Paper Circles for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on February 28, 2021February 28, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me for the Crafty Collaboration Share It Sunday Blog Hop, we are sharing a project we have been working on and I couldn’t resist one last play with the gorgeous Paper Blooms designer Series Paper (dsp) before Sale-A-Bration ends tonight. This time I have gone a bit rogue and teamed the paper with the Circle Celebration stamp set to make a sweet paper circles card.

Colours used in today’s project are:

To recreate the Paper Circles card, you will need:

Rococo Rose card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Night of Navy – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Paper Blooms dsp – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner

I mounted a number of the stamps from the Circle celebration stamp set onto acrylic blocks, inked them up and stamped them into the coloured circles on the piece of Paper Blooms dsp. I really liked the effect this gave.

To pull the design together I added the small floral image overlapping some of the circles.

Next, I ran the stamped panel of dsp through the Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine in the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder, Love the effect this gives, it really pulls the image together.

The embossed panel was glued to the Night of Navy layer using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped some of the White Snail Mail Twine around the panel and tied a bow. The panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Today’s Tiles stamp set was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
