Tutti-Frutti Pandas for Team Training Swaps

Posted on February 23, 2018February 18, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today I’m sharing the swaps Tutti-Frutti Panda cards I have made for tomorrows Team Training Event organised by my lovely Upline Mikaela Titheridge.

wanted to use the absolutely lovely Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes which are one of the free choices with a £45 order in the 2018 Sale-a-Bration brochure. These are so easy to overlook in amongst the more glamourous stamp sets, dsp and dies but they really are lovely, beautiful colours and so versatile. I wanted the pretty card fronts to be seen so looked for a fairly small image for my cards.

I settled on the quirky Party Pandas stamp set which is also a free choice from the 2018 Sale-a-Bration brochure. I stamped the sweet panda with the balloon in the lower left corner of a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 2½”. I used Archival Basic Black ink and found I had better results using a stamp positioner such as a Stamparatus with a really well inked pad. I didn’t bother to ink up the balloon as I planned to cover it with dsp balloons. I added the sentiment from the same set in a co-ordinating Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral or Lemon Lime Twist ink.

I rounded the upper right corner of the Whisper White cardstock panel using the retired Project life Corner Rounder and added a piece of 3¼” by 1¾” cardstock in either Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral or Lemon Lime Twist behind the lower right corner and added the whole piece to one of the Tutti-Frutti card bases.

I punched a selection of large and small balloons from the Bubble & Fizz dsp pack, another free 2018 Sale-a-Bration choice with a £45 order, using the Balloon Bouquet Punch. The smaller balloons were added to the card front with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The larger balloon was added on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Such a cute card and I love that all the items used with the exception of the ink pads were free!!!!

Chocolate Cake Soiree

Posted on February 13, 2018February 12, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today’s card, featuring a spectacular Chocolate Cake made using the Cake Soiree stamp set and Sweet Cake framelit dies, was inspired by a stunning card made by Carolyn Bennie, a fellow demonstrator from Australia. I love Carolyn’s technique for water colouring on dark cardstock and couldn’t wait to give it a go.

I began by stamping the gorgeous ‘floral cake’ image in Versamark Ink onto a scrap piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I covered the stamped image with White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. When the image was dry I added colour using my Watercolor Pencils; starting with the lightest Calypso Coral and working through the Melon Mambo and finishing with touches of Rich Razzelberry to add intensity. I added a little Daffodil Delight to the flower centres as well. I love the soft look of this technique. Following Carolyn’s tutorial I then added Early Espresso shadowing on the cake itself, it does give a subtle impression of dimension. The cake was then die cut using my Big Shot and the Sweet Cake framelit dies.

I die cut the cake base and stand from scrap Whisper White cardstock and added them to the back of the die cut cake with Tombow Liquid Glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com- Cake Soiree by Stampin’ Up!

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and added a 5½” by 3¾” layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock. This was topped with a panel of Calypso Coral dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” taken from the Delightful Daisy dsp pack. The cake was added to the lower right corner with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using Versamark ink I stamped the Happy Birthday from the same stamp set, having masked off the rest of the sentiment with a post it note onto a scrap of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I added White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool before trimming it out with scissors and adding it to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Picnic With You card designed by Mo Rootes

Stamp ‘N Hop for a Spring Picnic With You

Posted on February 10, 2018February 9, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop! My name is Maureen but most people, other than my Mother call me Mo and I live just outside Cambridge in the UK. The theme of this month’s hop is a favourite item from the Occasions catalogue which is available until 31 May 2018. Decisions, decisions what to choose, the new catalogue is packed with fab things……..hmm………in the end I chose the Picnic For You stamp set and co-ordinating Picnic Basket Builder dies. I am ssoooo… ready for Spring and I love a picnic, so a perfect choice.

Picnic With You Card – Method and Supplies

I started by stamping the basket from the Picnic With You stamp set in Soft Suede ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the loaves in 1^st and 2^nd generation Soft Suede ink then the outline cupcakes using the same ink. The icing for the cupcakes was added in Berry Burst ink. The cute little bottle was stamped in Night of Navy ink. I stamped the apples in Pear Pizzazz ink and added a touch of Berry Burst ink to one side with a Sponge Dauber. The checked cloth was stamped in Berry Burst ink and everything was then die cut using the Picnic Basket Builder dies and the Big Shot.

Taking a piece of the Color Theory dsp 5¼” by 3½” I added ½ a Delicate Doily towards the bottom and stuck all the die cut elements using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The basket was added on top on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the checked cloth glued on with Tombow. The basket looked lovely and full.

I added a panel of Soft Suede cardstock 5” by 2¼” behind the upper left hand corner of the dsp before adding the whole piece to a Thick Whisper White card base. The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and trimmed out with Scissors. I felt the sentiment needed a pop of colour so added a small piece of Berry Burst cardstock punched with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch. Perfect………looks good enough to eat.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and please hop around all the other blogs to see what my talented fellow demonstrators have designed, enjoy. Next up is the lovely Laurie Meier so hop on to see what she has to share today, or go back to look at the project shared by the talented Kat Spencer.

Heartfelt Blooms with added colour

Posted on January 2, 2018January 1, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Heartfelt Blooms is a fab new stamp set which will be available from tomorrow, free in Sale-a-Bration with £45 order from my online store.

When I took the stamp out of the case I was a bit surprised to see that the face of the rubber stamp had very little texture, I wondered if it was defective. I inked up the image using Smoky Slate ink and stamped it onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and WOW the image had so much definition, I loved it.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Heartfelt Blooms by Stampin’ Up!

I took the gorgeous new Stampin’ Blends in light & dark Pink Pirouette, light & dark Old Olive, light Daffodil Delight, light Rich Razzelberry & light Calypso Coral and coloured in the flowers and leaves giving the image a really soft look.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Heartfelt Blooms by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in Old Olive ink and added the piece to a layer of Daisy Delight dsp using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of Silver Edged Metallic Ribbon to the bottom of the piece then added the whole panel to the front of a Pink Pirouette card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off I added some Clear Epoxy Shapes to mimic dewdrops – Gorgeous.

Number of Years stamp set and Large Number framelit dies for a big birthday

Posted on November 7, 2017November 5, 2017 by Mo Rootes

I have been making a special birthday card this week for my father-in-law using the versatile Number of Years stamp set and the co-ordinating Large Numbers framelit dies. He is 96 tomorrow and looking fantastic.

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3⅝” by 3” and die cut the 96 from the centre of the panel. I added the die cut numbers to my stash as I planned to use the negative image for the card. I took the panel and stamped the ‘happy’ above the die cut aperture and the ‘birthday’ below the die cut using Tranquil Tide ink. Both words came from the Number of Years stamp set.

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and added a piece of Delightful Daisy dsp 4⅛” by 2¾” to the front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Number of Years stamp set and Large Letter dies by Stampin’ Up!

I added the die cut piece on top of the dsp using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the ‘th’ in Tranquil Tide cardstock using Tranquil Tide ink, flagged the end using scissors and added it to the card front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. To finish off I added some of the Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes.

Stamp-a-Stack event featuring Stampin' Up product

Christmas themed Stamp-a-Stacks

Posted on October 10, 2017October 9, 2017 by Mo Rootes

Thank you to the lovely ladies who joined me for my Stamp-a-Stack events in September and October. We had a great time and made so many lovely cards.

All the projects were Christmas themed, in my opinion you can never start too early….. There were 5 tables with 2 cards designs on each table, the ladies made 2 of each card giving them a total of 20 cards.

On arrival each lady was given a bag containing a pack of Merry Little Christmas dsp, 20 card bases in co-ordinating colours – Whisper White, Old Olive and Real Red, a spool of ⅛” Real Red ribbon, 20 Whisper White Envelopes and packets of pre-cut card stock layers to make each card. I prepped the packs for the second Stamp-a-Stack when I was in the grip of a migraine and managed to miss-label some of the packs which caused some hilarity. Luckily I always bring spare cardstock and was able to rectify the mix up with no problems.

Colorful Seasons for July classes

Posted on July 18, 2017July 13, 2017 by Mo Rootes

We had a great time at last weeks’ classes using the fabulous Colorful Seasons stamp set and co-ordinating Seasonal Layers dies and……. we made the first Christmas card of the year!!! Love Christmas.

The first card the ladies made was a double fold card. We used Thick Whisper White cardstock for the base and after folding added a piece Berry Burst Designer Series Paper (dsp) from the Color Theory paper stack to the front panel.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers dies by Stampin’ Up!

Using a piece of Whisper White cardstock which had a circle die cut out and a Stampin Sponge we added a circle of Pink Pirouette onto a small panel of Whisper white cardstock. Next we stamped the branches from the Colorful Seasons stamp set in Early Espresso ink and added the flowers using the Berry Burst ink pad. They look so pretty and give a soft Asian feel to the panel. We die cut the Adirondack chair using the co-ordinating Seasonal Layers dies from the a piece of Early Espresso cardstock. We mounted the stamped Whisper White panel onto a panel of Early Espresso cardstock. The chair was added to the panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. We added the whole panel to the card front again using Tombow.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set and Seasonal Layers dies by Stampin’ Up!

The second card was more autumnal in colour and theme. We stamped the small solid leaf image randomly down the side of a Thick Whisper White card base in Old Olive ink. We stamped the same image in the same ink onto a piece of Old Olive cardstock which we then punched using the Scallop Tag Topper punch. We also punched the top of a strip of Color Theory dsp in Crushed Curry and added it using Tombow Liquid Adhesive to the back left hand side of the tag. Using the Seasonal Layers dies we cut a partial leaf shape from the Old Olive tag and also cut a filigree leaf from a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock. A small solid leaf was stamped in Crushed Curry ink and die cut using the matching die. A small piece of Crushed Curry Ribbon was stapled to the top if the tag using the now retired Handheld Stapler and the staple hidden by the small Crushed Curry leaf. The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink before the tag was added to the card front using Stampin Dimensionals. The filigree Crushed Curry leaf was then added to the card front using Tombow.

For the last card we stamped the 2 snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set randomly onto a layer of Night of Navy cardstock using Whisper White Craft ink and set it aside to dry. The sentiment from the Flurry of Wishes stamp set was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Night of Navy ink. The 3 snowflake dies in the Seasonal Layers set were then die cut from a strip of Whisper White cardstock. When the Whisper White Craft ink was dry, it takes a couple of minutes; we added the sentiment piece using Tombow then mounted the whole panel onto the card front using Stampin Dimensionals before adding the die cut snowflakes with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Love all of these cards using this fantastically versatile stamp set and dies. I hope you like them.

Sending Love dsp makes gorgeous Red and White Matchbook Favours

Posted on May 23, 2017May 27, 2017 by Mo Rootes

Over the weekend my husband set off on a business trip to China, somewhere neither of us has been and even more exciting because I will be flying out to join him for a short holiday at the end of the month……..whoop whoop. He was advised to take some small token gifts with him to hand out whilst he is there. The gifts have to be small, pack-able, fairly robust and not likely to melt as it is very hot in Beijing at the moment. That ruled out chocolate and biscuits which are the things I would usually go for in this situation. After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing he decided on Earl Grey teabags. For my inspiration I turned to a swap I received at Team Training last week from my friend Susan – aka Crafty Ducky Doodah – https://craftyduckydoodah.blogspot.co.uk/ check out her 14^th May blog to see the original. In typical CASEing (copy and selectively edit) fashion I took Susan’ idea and made it wider and slightly shorter, used different clours and decoration.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Sending Love DSP by Stampin’ Up!

I wanted to use the colour Red which is considered to be very lucky in China so chose the Sending Love dsp stack to decorate the matchbook covers. I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to 7” by 2¾”, scored it using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool at ½” and 3¾” on the long side.

I folded on my score lines and burnished with my Bone Folder to get a crisp edge. Using the Handheld Stapler, sadly now retired I stapled the ½” piece in the middle to make the flap which holds the Teabag in position. I cut a panel of Sending Love dsp to 3” by 2½” for matting on the front panel and another at 2½” by ¼” to mat on the narrow flap. I used Tombow Liquid Adhesive to adhere the dsp.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Sending Love DSP by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set using Real Red ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using my Big Shot and the smallest stitched oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies and added it to the front panel using Tombow. I punched a Bitty Butterfly from Vellum cardstock and added it to the sentiment piece using a Mini Glue Dot and finished off by adding a Basic Rhinestone.

I think these are really cute, hope you do too.

Seaside theme for a Stamp-a-Stack

Posted on May 9, 2017May 9, 2017 by Mo Rootes

Thank you to the lovely ladies who joined me for my summer themed Stamp-a-Stack event this weekend. We had such a good time and made so many lovely cards.

All the projects for the day were seaside themed to get us into the mood for the fore-casted high temperatures later this week. On arrival each lady was given a clear wallet containing a pack of By the Shore dsp, 20 card bases in a variety of co-ordinating colours, a pack of Metallic Enamel Shapes, 20 Very Vanilla Envelopes and packets of pre-cut card stock layers to make each card. Mind you we all had a good laugh when we realised that I had only put 10 card bases in each pack………definitely a muppet moment. Luckily I only live 3 minutes away and was able to nip home and grab more cardstock to cut and score the missing bases.
