Favourite Bundle

Posted on August 8, 2020August 3, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the August Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop, if you have hopped on from Vickie Kello you are now with me, Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. Our theme this month is ‘favourite bundle’. There are so many gorgeous bundles in the new annual catalogue that I struggled to choose only one. After a lot of messing about I have gone for the All Things Fabulous Bundle, purely for it’s versatility and sheer beauty and the fact that I love the three step stamping.

To recreate the favourite bundle card you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Pretty Peacock – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left corner x 2
Scrap Whisper White and Highland Heather

I began by stamping the ‘herringbone’ image from the Comfort & Hope stamp set in 3^rd generation Highland Heather ink onto one of the Whisper White panels. I wanted a soft subtle something in the background.

The solid flower image from the All Things Fabulous stamp set was stamped twice in Pool Party ink unto the Whisper White panel. I added the second image over top using Coastal Cabana ink and the third and most detailed image in Pretty Peacock ink. I love the depth and shading the multi-layer stamping gives the flowers.

The leaves were stamped in Gray Granite ink and the small flowers added in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape ink.

I added the group of buds in 2^nd generation Gray Granite and Bermuda Bay ink, before adding the stamped panel to the Pretty Peacock layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the Pool Party card base with Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the All Things Fabulous stamp set was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock about ⅜” wide and trimmed down with scissors. A scrap of Highland Heather ½” wide was used to back the sentiment. The sentiment strip was then added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added a scattering of Noble Peacock Rhinestones to complete the card. These are sadly retired but Basic Rhinestones would work just as well. I hope you like the card. Libby Dyson is up next so please hop over to see what she has to share with us this month.

Split Image Blossom card

Posted on July 14, 2020July 8, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a couple of split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set and Many Layered Blossom dies. Over the past couple of moths I have seen a number of demonstrators making split image cards and thought I would try it myself.

To recreate the Split Image Blossom card you will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Calypso Coral – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside

2nd card

Merry Merlot – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside

I laid 2 of the Whisper White panels side by side, inked up the large floral image from the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set with Merry Merlot ink and stamped the image across the join of both panels.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

The most detailed large floral image was die cut using the Many Layered Blooms dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I squeezed some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the corner of my Silicon Mat and dabbed it all over the back of the die cut piece and placed it over the stamped area which were still side by side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

When the adhesive was dry I used my Paper Trimmer to cut the 2 layers apart.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

The stamped and die cut panels were added to either a Calypso Coral or a Merry Merlot layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the opposite colour card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
