Christmas Wreaths card for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on July 8, 2023July 7, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a picture and colour challenge. I used the Cottage Wreaths stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in my card:

To recreate the Christmas Wreaths card, you will need:

Cherry Cobbler card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Wild Wheat card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Pretty Peacock card – 2⅝” by ½”
Scrap Sweet Sorbet card

Using the twiggy wreath stamp from the Cottage Wreath stamp set, I stamped on the smaller panel of Basic White card in Pecan Pie ink. I rotated the image and stamped again with Wild Wheat ink. This gave a fuller wreath with more texture.

The holly leaves were added randomly around the wreath using Pretty Peacock ink.

Holly berries were added with Cherry Cobbler ink. At this point I ran the whole panel through the Cut & Emboss Machine with one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders.

A one sheet wonder made using the baby wipe technique and the Snow Crystal stamp by Stampin' Up! to make 6 cards for the Christmas Stampatho

Snow Crystal one sheet wonder for the Christmas Stampathon

Posted on July 2, 2023June 30, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the cards I made for this months Christmas Stampathon where our theme is ‘Snow & Ice’. I decided to use the large Snow Crystal stamp to make a one sheet wonder using the baby white technique and icy colours.

Colours used to make these cards:

To recreate the snow crystal card, you will need:

6 Card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I chose Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape – Rounded upper right corner
6 matting layers – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – I chose Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia & Gorgeous Grape – Rounded upper right corner
1½ A4 sheets of Basic White card – after stamping these were cut down to give 6 panels measuring 5¼” by 3½” and rounded the upper right corners
6 Basic White panels – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside – Rounded upper right corner

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Snow Crystal stamp used to make a one sheet wonder using the baby wipe technique for the Christmas Stampathon

I began by laying 3 damp baby wipes on a plate, one on top of the other. I then added spots of re-inker to fill the centre of the baby white layers to make a sort of ink pad. I used Pool Party, Blueberry Bushel, Fresh Freesia, Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape & Parakeet Party.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Snow Crystal stamp used to make a one sheet wonder using the baby wipe technique for the Christmas Stampathon

The large snow crystal image was then inked up using the makeshift ink pad and stamped down the length of the 1½ A4 sheets of Basic White card. I twisted the image around so that the colour on the stamp was different each time. I then stamped again from side to side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Snow Crystal stamp used to make a one sheet wonder using the baby wipe technique for the Christmas Stampathon

The stamped sheets were then cut down into 6 panels each measuring 5¼” by 3½”. I rounded the upper right corner of each panel having decided which were to be portrait and which landscape.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Snow Crystal stamp used to make a one sheet wonder using the baby wipe technique for the Christmas Stampathon

The stamped panels were then glued to the matting layers with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon around 5 of the cards – I ran out so used a piece of the silver trim ribbon instead – the ribbon was adhered on the back with Sellotape. The panels were then added to the card bases using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Snow Crystal stamp used to make a one sheet wonder using the baby wipe technique for the Christmas Stampathon

I die cut 6 labels using the Something Fancy dies and stamped the sentiment from the Celebrate with Tags stamp set in either Blueberry Bushel or Gorgeous Grape ink onto the labels. These were then added to the card fronts on Dimensionals.

Five cards made for the Christmas Stampathon using the Cottage Wreaths and Ringed With Nature stamp sets and Country Wreaths Dies by Stampin' Up!

Wreath cards made for the Christmas Stampathon

Posted on May 26, 2023May 25, 2023 by Mo Rootes

This month’s theme for the Christmas Stampathon is ‘wreaths’ and my first instinct was to use one of the wreaths from the Cottage Wreath stamp set. However, when I pulled the stamp set off the shelf, I was drawn to the leafy sprig image instead and ended up using this as the basis for my card.

Colours used in these cards are:

To recreate the wreath Christmas cards, you will need:

5 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”- I used Real Red & Pretty Peacock
5 matting layers – 5⅛” by 3⅜ – I used Real Red & Pretty Peacock
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Distressed Gold dsp
On some of the card I rounded the bottom, right corner on some or all the layers.

I sketched a rough circle using a pencil in the upper half of the smaller panels of Basic White card. Around the circle I stamped the leafy sprig in Lost lagoon ink. The pencil circle was then erased.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Cottage Wreaths and Ringed With Nature stamp sets and Country Wreaths Dies used to make 5 cards for the Christmas Stampathon

The trio of flowers, from the Ringed with Nature stamp set was stamped in Real Red ink, three times around the wreath. I cleaned the stamped and inked up only the smallest flower and added a scattering of these smaller flowers.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Cottage Wreaths and Ringed With Nature stamp sets and Country Wreaths Dies used to make 5 cards for the Christmas Stampathon

The tiny pair of holly leaves from the Cottage Wreaths stamp set were randomly stamped around the wreath in Pretty Peacock ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Cottage Wreaths and Ringed With Nature stamp sets and Country Wreaths Dies used to make 5 cards for the Christmas Stampathon

I added the sentiment from the Ringed With Nature stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink, below the wreath. The whole panel was then embossed using the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder before it was glued to the matting panel offset to the left side. The whole piece was then added to the card base on Dimensionals.
