Leaping Deer Christmas Card

Posted on September 14, 2021September 9, 2021 by Mo Rootes

This is a sweet leaping deer themed Christmas card made using the Peaceful Deer stamp set, Deer Builder Punch and the Peaceful Prints dsp.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the leaping deer card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Peaceful Prints dsp – 5¼” by 3⅝”
Basic Black card – 4¾” by 3”
Peaceful Prints dsp – 4⅝” by 2⅞”
Basic White card – 3” by 3”
Crumb Cake strip – ½”
Basic White strip – ⅜”
Scrap Crumb Cake

I began by choosing 2 patterns from the gorgeous Peaceful Prints dsp, can’t believe this is one of the free Sale-a-Bration choices you can opt for with a £45 order. The larger panel was glued to the Crumb Cake card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using a scalloped circle from the layering Circle Dies and my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut a scalloped circle from the middle of the Basic Black layer. I love doing this, it makes the most of my card stock and no-one (but you) will ever know!

The second panel of dsp was added, using the same liquid glue to the Basic Black layer (with the whole in the middle) and was added to the card front with the same glue.

I die cut a slightly smaller circle from the square of Basic White card using the same set of dies and ran it through the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Wintry 3D Duo Embossing Folder. Gives a subtle level of texture to the piece. The embossed circle was added to the scalloped Basic Black circle and then placed on the card front on Dimensionals.

The deer image was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto a scrap of Crumb Cake card and punched out using the Deer Builder Punch. I added it to the embossed circle with liquid glue. I decorated the circle with a trio of Red Rhinestones.

The sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink onto the strip of Basic White card. This was trimmed down before being mounted onto the Crumb Cake strip and added with liquid glue to the card front.

Sweet card, I hope you agree.

The stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper by Stampin' Up! and used to make a clever fun fold card

Beauty of the Earth dsp

Posted on July 6, 2021July 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a simple but clever card made from the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper. I saw an example of this style of card made by fellow demonstrator Julie Davison and had to try it myself.

Colours used in this project are;

To recreate the Beauty of the Earth card, you will need:

Beauty of the Earth dsp – 12” by 4” – scored at 5 ½” and 11” on the long-side
Bumblebee card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Soft Sea Foam – 3 ¾” by 2 ¼” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Soft Sea Foam. Mossy Meadow & Basic White

I folded and burnished on the 5½” score line and again on the 11” score line, but this time folded it back on itself. I glued the 1” strip down with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. It makes such a nice contrast don’t you think?

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A clever fun fold card made using the stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper

The tree trunk was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto the Basic White panel. I added the tree canopy in Mossy Meadow ink and the more detailed leafy layer in Bumblebee to give a more textured look.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A clever fun fold card made using the stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper

The stamped panel was added to the Bumblebee layer and then to the dsp card front. This serves to give the card some rigidity.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A clever fun fold card made using the stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper

The same tree trunk was stamped again in Soft Suede ink onto the small panel of Soft Sea Foam. I stamped the tree canopy and leaves again in the same way onto scrap Soft Sea Foam and die cut using the Beautiful Tree dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine. The canopy was added to the trunk with the liquid glue. I added a speckle of green spots around the tree image. The panel was added to the card front with Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A clever fun fold card made using the stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper

The sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed it out with scissors. I added a strip of Mossy Meadow card to the base of the panel and added the sentiment over top.

Posted on June 25, 2021June 17, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet stripy card made using strips of Hand-Penned designer Series Paper (dsp) and gorgeous leafy die from the Artistic Dies.

Colours in this project are:

To recreate the stripy card, you will need:

Mint Macaron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

Basic Black card – 5” by 3” to die cut the leaves
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 3¾”

The delicate spray of leaves from the Artistic Dies paired with strips of Hand-penned dsp by Stapin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty stripy card made using the Hand-penned designer Series Paper and in intricate die cut spray of leaves

Using my Paper Trimmer I trimmed ½” off the side and added it with liquid glue to the Basic White panel for the inside of the card. I trimmed the excess off with scissors and glued the panel inside the Mint Macaron card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty stripy card made using the Hand-penned designer Series Paper and in intricate die cut spray of leaves

Using the same liquid glue, I added the thin strips of Basic Black card to either side of the striped panel with just a smidgeon showing. The whole piece was then added to the card front with the same glue.

I ran the remaining panel of Basic Black card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the gorgeous intricate leaf die from the Artistic Die set. I used my Take Your Pick Tool with the Die Brush attachment to get all the little pieces out before adding the die cut to the card front using tiny dots of glue.
