A gorgeous 75th waterfall birthday card for my aunt made in bright summery colours using Stampin' Up! products

Special Waterfall Birthday Card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is Fun Folds. So with that in mind, I absolutely have to share with you the waterfall birthday card I have made for my Aunts special birthday tomorrow. This card was made using bright spring colours and flowers which my aunt loves.

Colours Used in this project are:

To recreate the Waterfall birthday card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Magenta Madness – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Magenta Madness – 4⅛” by 1”
Flowers For Every Season dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Flirty Flamingo – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White & Magenta Madness

I began by gluing the Flowers For Every Season dsp to the Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Magenta Madness card about 2 ¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus and this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Magenta Madness into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch; it is wider than the opening so is a bit of a fiddle. Push it right to the end then punch. Pull it out and trim off the extra piece on each side.

Fold on all the score lines, slip the punched scalloped end of the Magenta Madness under the strip of card you have just glued across the card. The scored part of the card will then be on top of the band. Using strong adhesive glue along the top of the scored panel – face down – adhere the piece to the bottom end of the band. This forms the waterfall mechanism.

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp some of the sentiments from the You Are Amazing, Approaching Perfection & Good Morning Magnolia stamp sets on to the small panels of Basic White card. Other sentiments were masked and inked up using Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Markers.

The sentiment panels were added to the Coloured panels using with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a selection of flowers from the All Things Fabulous stamp set. For the larger flower I used 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd generation Magenta Madness. For the smaller flowers I used 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight and Bumblebee, Magenta Madness in 1^st and 2^nd generation and Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade. The leaves were stamped in Just Jade ink. These were all cut out using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machune. The flowers and leaves were added to the sentiment panels with liquid glue.

I die cut the numbers form Flowers For Every Season dsp using the Large Numbers Dies whch are sadly retired. These were added to the final, largest panel with liquid glue.

I added a length of White Ribbon from my stash to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and tied it on with a piece of the Snail Mail Twine. I finished by adding some Gold Glitters Dot to each panel. I added a tiny Magenta Madness dragonfly punched out using the Dragonfly Punch to the front panel.

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.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Gilded Heart for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop using the Touching The Heart stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

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.

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects we have been working on.

A pretty card made using the Touched My Heart stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Leafy Vines for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on January 25, 2021January 25, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where our theme is ‘It’s All About Love Baby’. If you have joined me from Rochelle Laird’s blog, welcome. I have made a leafy vines card using the sweet Touched My Heart stamp set. This set has been on my shelf for a few months and this was the ideal opportunity to use it.

To recreate the leafy vines card, you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Real Red – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – one for the inside
Flowers For Every Season dsp
Scrap Basic White

I stamped 3 of the heart and vine images across one of the Basic White layers in Early Espresso.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A leafy Vines heart made for the Stampers Showcase blog hop using the Touched My Heart stamp set

Using one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut out the central heat image.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A leafy Vines heart made for the Stampers Showcase blog hop using the Touched My Heart stamp set

I glued the negative frame to the Real Red panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A length of Real Red Sheer Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and then the whole piece was added to the Just Jade card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A leafy Vines heart made for the Stampers Showcase blog hop using the Touched My Heart stamp set

Using the following Blends Markers I coloured in the image on the die cut panel – Real Red, Just Jade and Pool Party. The panel was then added to a piece of Flowers For Every Season dsp which had been die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. This panel was then added to the card front using Dimensionals.

Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop where our theme is the new January – June and Sale-A-Bration catalogues which have just gone live. So many lovely things in both catalogues and who doesn’t love the opportunity to earn free goodies. I have chosen to use the gorgeous Hydrangea Haven stamp set to work with today.

If you have joined me from the lovely Stacey Marsh, welcome and please continue to hop around the demonstrators and get lots of inspiration.

To recreate Hydrangea Hill card, you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Flirty Flamingo – 4¾” by 2¾” – rounded lower right corner
Fluid 100 Water Color Paper – 4⅝” by 2⅝” – rounded lower right corner
Scrap Just Jade card
Very Vanilla – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower right corner – for the inside

I inked up the pretty hydrangea stamp with Versamark ink and used the Stamparatus to stamp the image onto Fluid 100 Water color paper. I did this twice to ensure that I had a good image on the textured card stock.

The stamped image was then covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool.

Using Flirty Flamingo ink, squeezed into the lid of the ink pad and a Water Painter Brush I painted the flower head. As the color dries and added more in selected areas to deepen some of the flowers. I then added some Cherry Cobbler ink to selected areas of the flower. I used the same technique to add Just Jade ink to the stem and leaves.

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the inked layer to the Flirty Flamingo panel. A piece of pretty Lace trim was then wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape and the whole panel was then added n Dimensionals to the Just Jade card base.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Just Jade card, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front on Dimensionals.

I punched a 2” circle from the copy paper and used it as a mask to ink a circle onto the smaller panel of Whisper White. I used one of the lovely new Blending Brushes and Balmy Blue ink.
