Taking the Gorgeous Grape panel and my Paper Trimmer I cut on the short side from 1¾” to 8¾” on both sides. The cuts should be parallel and matched up.

Next I scored on the long side at 1¾” from both ends but only between the two cut lines and then from 3½” and 7” from top to bottom.

I took my time to choosing patterns from the gorgeous Pansy Petals dsp. My friend loves purple so these were the colours I went for first. I added in the Soft Succulent gingham to break up the purple. The dsp was adhered to the Basic White panels which were then glued to the Gorgeous Grape card.

I carefully folded and burnished the score lines of the card to form the tri-fold shutter shape.

Using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Brilliant Butterfly Dies I die cut some of the butterflies from the scrap Gorgeous Grape card, Highland Heather card and Be Dazzling dsp. I also used some of the iridescent paper left over from the Wonderful Snowflakes to die cut a couple of butterflies.

The butterflies were added to the card front with a dab of Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Playful Alphabet dies I cut the number 50 from the Be Dazzling dsp and added them to the card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet butterfly themed tri-fold shutter card made for a friend’s special birthday and for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

The word ‘today’ was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto a scrap of Basic White card. It came from the Timeless Tulips Stamp set. I masked off the words I didn’t need before I inked up the stamp. The word was trimmed out using scissors.

I decorated the butterflies and the card with some of the Subtle Shimmer Sequins to complete the card.

I added a panel of white to the back to write my message on.

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.

I really like this style of card and really shows off the dsp. I hope you like it.

A special birthday funfold card made using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Beauty of Friendship fun fold card

Posted on June 22, 2021June 16, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Here is a Beauty of Friendship fun fold card made for my daughter Camilla’s birthday. I saw LeeAnn Greff, a fellow demonstrator, demonstrate it on YouTube and I knew this was the perfect card for her as she loves the outdoors. I changed the dimensions to fit A4 card stock and also some of the colours.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the beauty of friendship card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card – 6½“ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Soft Succulent card – 3½” by 3” scored at ½” on the short side
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 3⅜” by 2½”
Soft Succulent card – 3” by 2½”
Basic White 2¼” by 2”
Scrap of Balmy Blue

I took the 2 scored pieces Soft Succulent, laid them on my work surface with the smaller panel on the right-hand side. Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I adhered the ½” tab of the smaller piece to the larger panel. You should then have a gate fold type card with a long thin left panel and a shorter, wider right-hand panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful fun fold using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set for a special birthday card

I place the 3 largest panels of Basic White card stock onto my work surface. I punched a circle from a Post It Note using the ¾” Circle Punch and placed it in the upper left-hand corner of the smallest panel.

Using a Blending Brush I added Soft Sea Foam ink to all three of the panels. The ink was added gradually in circular motions, building up the colour slowly. I then added Soft Succulent ink around the edges of each panel in the same way.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful fun fold using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set for a special birthday card

The bare trees were then stamped in Soft Suede ink, 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation to give the effect of depth.

I added the ‘tree canopy’ image to the stamped full-strength tree on the smallest panel. I used the soft succulent ink and the spotty image to add some texture to all the panels

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful fun fold using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set for a special birthday card

The stamped panels were then glued to the Soft Succulent card. The largest one on the inside, covering the ½” tab which holds them together.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut a label from the remaining Soft Succulent piece and a smaller label from the Basic White piece.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful fun fold using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set for a special birthday card

The sentiment from the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set was stamped on the white label in Soft Succulent ink and I added a couple of small flowers in the same ink. The flowers were from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set.

The labels were then glued together. They were added to the left-hand panel of the card with a couple of Dimensionals. Make sure that the Dimensionals are well over to the left and that the right-hand panel of the card can tuck under.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful fun fold using the Beauty of Friendship stamp set for a special birthday card

To complete the card, I die cut 2 of the sweet little birds from the Beautiful Trees dies from scrap Balmy Blue card and added them to the card front. I used a Black Stampin’ Write Marker to add their eyes and a trio of Genial Gems.

I absolutely love this card, thank you LeeAnn for the inspiration.

A gorgeous 75th waterfall birthday card for my aunt made in bright summery colours using Stampin' Up! products

Special Waterfall Birthday Card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is Fun Folds. So with that in mind, I absolutely have to share with you the waterfall birthday card I have made for my Aunts special birthday tomorrow. This card was made using bright spring colours and flowers which my aunt loves.

Colours Used in this project are:

To recreate the Waterfall birthday card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Magenta Madness – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Magenta Madness – 4⅛” by 1”
Flowers For Every Season dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Flirty Flamingo – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White & Magenta Madness

I began by gluing the Flowers For Every Season dsp to the Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Magenta Madness card about 2 ¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus and this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Magenta Madness into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch; it is wider than the opening so is a bit of a fiddle. Push it right to the end then punch. Pull it out and trim off the extra piece on each side.

Fold on all the score lines, slip the punched scalloped end of the Magenta Madness under the strip of card you have just glued across the card. The scored part of the card will then be on top of the band. Using strong adhesive glue along the top of the scored panel – face down – adhere the piece to the bottom end of the band. This forms the waterfall mechanism.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp some of the sentiments from the You Are Amazing, Approaching Perfection & Good Morning Magnolia stamp sets on to the small panels of Basic White card. Other sentiments were masked and inked up using Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

The sentiment panels were added to the Coloured panels using with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a selection of flowers from the All Things Fabulous stamp set. For the larger flower I used 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd generation Magenta Madness. For the smaller flowers I used 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight and Bumblebee, Magenta Madness in 1^st and 2^nd generation and Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade. The leaves were stamped in Just Jade ink. These were all cut out using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machune. The flowers and leaves were added to the sentiment panels with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

I added a length of White Ribbon from my stash to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and tied it on with a piece of the Snail Mail Twine. I finished by adding some Gold Glitters Dot to each panel. I added a tiny Magenta Madness dragonfly punched out using the Dragonfly Punch to the front panel.

This forms the waterfall mechanism.

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the 3 images from the Baby Pull Toys stamp set on to the squares of Basic White card. I stamped sentiments from the same stamp set onto the smallest and largest Basic White panels and adhered these directly, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, to the Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay panels.

I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the sweet little toy images – Gray Granite, Poppy Parade, Just Jade, Daffodil Delight, Cinnamon Cider and Mango Melody. I added a trio of hearts from the same stamp set on the largest Basic White piece and coloured these in using some of the same Blends Markers.

These stamped panels were then stuck onto the coloured panels using liquid glue. I added a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and a 2020-2022 In Colour Dot to the end of each toy to complete the card.

I absolutely love it. So adorable.

A pretty strawberry lolly card made using the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and Berry Delightful dsp by Stampin' Up!

Strawberry Lolly for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on December 28, 2020January 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Stampers Showcase blog hop, our last one of 2020 and this month’s theme is ‘Sale-A-Bration’. I really, really wanted to use the gorgeous Berry Delightful dsp – can’t believe it is a free sale-a-Bration choice along with the co-ordinating stamp set Berry Blessings.

If you have hopped over from Wendy Lee Or you are starting with me, Mo Rootes I hope you will find lots of inspiration on this hop.

To recreate my strawberry lolly card, you will need:

Poppy Parade – 9½” by 4” scored at 4” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5¼” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 3⅞ by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right corner
Berry Delightful dsp – 3¾” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Granny Apple Green – 3” by 3”
Whisper White 3” by 3”
Whisper White 5½” by 1” – scored at 1”
Oh So Ombre dsp – 4¼” by ¾”
Scrap Whisper White

The piece of Berry Delightful dsp reminded me of a picnic blanket my parents had when I was a child, summer days and strawberries…… I can’t wait….

I adhered the dsp to the square panel of Whisper White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the card front.

I took the long thin strip of Whisper White, folded on the 1” score line and glued the 1” square tab to the inside of the card base. I stamped the strawberry in Poppy Parade ink and the top in Granny Apple Green ink onto the largest panel of Whisper White card and adhered it to the inside of the card to hide the stuck down tab.

I glued down the Oh So Ombre dsp- another free choice in the Sale-A-Bration brochure – to the front of the Whisper White strip using the liquid glue.

Using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the layering Circle Dies I die cut a plain circle from the smallest piece of Whisper White and a scalloped circle from the Granny Apple Green square. I adhered the Granny Apple Green scalloped circle behind the 1” wide strip using the liquid glue.

I stamped the lolly tick in Crumb Cake ink onto the White Circle and added the lolly in Poppy Parade, love the textured look of these stamps. The stamped circle was then added to the front of the Granny Apple Green scalloped circle using Dimensionals.

I stamped the flower and leaves from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and added then to the card front on Dimensionals. They were positioned so that they held the circle panel in position.

The sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set was cut with the Messages dies and was added to the card front with glue. I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love it and I hope you do too.
