A beautiful stained-glass heart card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using the Friends For Life Dies and the Something Fancy stamp from Stampin' Up!

Stained-Glass Heart Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on September 3, 2024August 16, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing a project we have been working on recently. I have chosen to share a congratulations card designed, using the Friends For Life Dies and the stained glass window technique, to celebrate the wedding of my daughter and son in laws friends. I was inspired by a card made by Susan Wong for the Crafty Carrot……..

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the stained-glass heart card, you will need:

Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Shy Shamrock card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3 ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Azure Afternoon card – 2½” by ¼”
Silver Foil – 3¼” by 3”
Scrap Basic White card

I ran the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the So Swirly Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then glued to the Shy Shamrock layer and then to the Azure Afternoon card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Using the Friends For Life Dies I die cut a solid heart from scrap Basic White card. The outline heart and the detailed heart were then placed onto the scrap Basic White card and secured together with washi tape from my stash. I then ran them through the Cut & Emboss Machine 4 times, cutting the heart apart from the outline each time. The outlines were set aside as I didn’t need them for this project.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I squirted some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the Silicon craft sheet and used a piece of sponge from my stash to add the glue to the back of one of the detailed hearts which was then glued onto the solid white heart. I stacked two more detailed hearts on top.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The following Blends Pens were then used to colour in all the negative spaces – Azure Afternoon, Boho Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight, Shy Shamrock and Shaded Spruce.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Then, I filled each negative space with a puddle of Fine Tip Glue and set it aside to dry for about 30 minutes. When the glue was dry and glossy, I glued the final white detailed heart in place hiding the messy edges created when I was colouring in the heart.

I die cut one last detailed heart from Silver Foil and glued it on top.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Azure Afternoon. I covered it with Black Embossing Powder and heat set it. The ends were angled before the strip was added to the card front. A scattering of Iridescent Pearls completed the card.

Mirrored Campervan for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on December 23, 2021January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing our favourite Stampin’ Up! Products. So much to choose from – eventually I settled on our fabulous Stamparatus and decided to showcase the mirror technique and make a sweet mirrored campervan card for a friend’s anniversary.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the mirrored campervan card, you will need:

I mounted the campervan image on the Stamparatus plate and stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the smaller panel of Basic White card. I moved the plate along 2 hinge steps, placed the Silicon Mat on top of the stamped image, inked up and stamped onto the Silicon Mat. I repeated this step to get a darker image.

The Silicon Mat was turned over, lined up next to the original stamped image inked side down. I then stamped the image down on the back of the Silicon Mat to provide the pressure to imprint the image. Lifted the Silicon Mat and voila we had a mirror image!

Detailed Bands and Band Together

Posted on November 26, 2019November 22, 2019 by Mo Rootes

The card I am sharing today happened by complete chance. I had a piece of cardstock lying on my desk, the negative piece left over when I die cut one of the gorgeous Detailed Bands and I thought I would try to make something using it.

To recreate the Detailed Bands and Band Together card you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 4⅛” by 1⅞”
Poppy Parade – 4⅛” by ½” x 2

Using Crumb Cake ink I randomly stamped the large flower onto the Crumb Cake card front.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a pretty celebration card made using the Band Together stamp set and Detailed Bands dies

Using the negative die cut strip as a stencil and a a piece of Sponge I added Petal Pink ink to the smaller piece of Whisper White cardstock.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a pretty celebration card made using the Band Together stamp set and Detailed Bands dies

Leaving the stencil in position I placed the panel into the Stamparatus and positioned the detailed metal die face down on top, I added a second foam piece to raise up the panel. I added some temporary adhesive to the back of the die and closed the hinged panel picking up the die. I inked the die with Poppy Parade ink and stamped it down.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a pretty celebration card made using the Band Together stamp set and Detailed Bands dies

I loved the vintage, shabby chic look. I did stamp the image twice. I removed the panel from the Stamparatus and stamped the sentiment with Poppy Parade in the middle.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a pretty celebration card made using the Band Together stamp set and Detailed Bands dies

The Poppy Parade strips were added to the top and bottom of the inked panel and adhered to the card base using Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a pretty celebration card made using the Band Together stamp set and Detailed Bands dies

I stamped the flower in Poppy Parade ink onto the remaining panel of Whisper White and glued it inside the card. The same image and ink were used to decorate the envelope. A trio of Red Rhinestones were added to the card front to complete the card.

I hope you like it.

A pretty congraulations card made using the So Many Stars stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Shaker Stars for a congratulations card

Posted on October 4, 2019September 29, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made using the So Many Stars bundle for my lovely friend and downline Jo Law who has promoted to Silver last week – whoop whoop.

To recreate the So Many Stars card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Old Olive – 5½” by 3¾”
Silver Foil – 5” by 5”
Window Sheet 3⅝” by 4”
Whisper White ½” strip

I began by die cutting the second largest star from the old Olive panel using the Stitched Stars dies. I adhered the Window Sheet to the back of the Old Olive panel to cover the star shaped hole. Using the same stitched star die and the next size down I die cut the star shaped frame from Silver Foil and inlaid it onto the Window Sheet covered aperture using a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A congratulations card made using the So Many Stars stamp set and Stitched Stars dies

I used the dimensional strips on the back of the die cut panel to edge the star shape and also on the corners of the panel. I rubbed the embossing buddy around the inside of the star on the back of the panel to remove any static.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A congratulations card made using the So Many Stars stamp set and Stitched Stars dies

A small pinch of Metallic Sequins was placed on the front of the Thick Whisper White card base and the star panel on adhered top.
