The Autumn Leaves stamp set by Stampin' Up! and a half sheet wonder technique used to make two pretty thank you cards

Autumn Leaves card

Posted on August 29, 2023September 8, 2023 by Mo Rootes

I have been playing with the Autumn Leaves stamp set recently and have come up with a sweet half a sheet wonder which, when cut down made two cards.

Colours used in these cards are:

To recreate the cards, you will need:

Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞”
2 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – I used Wild Wheat & Moody Mauve
Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I mounted all the outline leaf images and the leaf veins onto clear acrylic blocks and began stamping along the long side of the large piece of Basic White card. I then stamped leaves from one long side down the middle to the other long side.

The large maple leaves were stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink and the veins added it Cajun Craze ink. The oak leaf was stamped in Moody Mauve ink and the veins added with Blackberry Bliss ink.

Using a Post It Note, I masked one of the double leaves and inked up with Old Olive ink and added the veins in Early Espresso ink. The double leaves were then stamped together in Wild Wheat ink adding the veins in Copper Clay ink.

I cut the stamped Basic White panel down to give me 2 card fronts measuring 5” by 3¼” saving the scraps to decorate the inside panels and envelopes.

The sentiment from the Phrases For All stamp set, was stamped on both panels in Blackberry Bliss ink. The panels were then glued to the Blackberry Bliss layers using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panels were added to the card fronts on Dimensionals.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sentiment from the Merriest Trees stamp set and the Winter Meadow dsp used to make cards for the Christmas Stampathon – Sentiment As The Star Blog Hop

Lining the panel of Winter Meadow dsp up with my grid paper to find the centre I added the sentiment piece using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Lining the end of a Blueberry Bushel ¼” strip with a corner of the sentiment square, I adhered it in place using the same liquid glue. The excess was the trimmed off. I repeated this step on all 4 side of the sentiment panel.

I added liquid glue to 2 of the triangular panels, tucked in a piece of co-ordinating scrap dsp and trimmed off the excess. I repeated this step in the opposite corner. The panel was then glued to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card.

Deer at Sunset card

Posted on August 8, 2023July 28, 2023 by Mo Rootes

This deer at sunset card has been in my mind for a while and finally I have got around to making it. I have used the gorgeous Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending.

The colours in this card are:

To recreate the deer at sunset card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded lower right corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded lower right corner
Flirty Flamingo card – 3” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded lower right corner – for the inside

Using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes, I die cut a circle from a sheet of printer paper. This will act as a mask. The ‘mask’ was added over the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card. I used a little washi tape to hold the mask in place.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A beautiful deer at sunset card made using the Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending

Using a Blending Brush, I swirled Lemon Lolly ink over the top three quarters of the negative circle. I added Daffodil Delight around the edge of the circle leaving the centre of the circle a lighter colour.

Flirty Flamingo ink was added to the bottom of the circle and the mask was then removed.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A beautiful deer at sunset card made using the Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending

I inked up the meadow grass image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it near the bottom of the inked circle. The deer image was added using the same ink.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A beautiful deer at sunset card made using the Grassy Grove stamp set and some ink blending

The sentiment from the Sending Smiles stamp set was originally stamped onto the stamped and inked panel below the meadow grass, but I really didn’t like it, so Plan B………. the sentiment was stamped again in Memento Tuxedo black ink onto a piece of Flirty Flamingo card. I die cut it using a die from the Sending Dies and added it, on Dimensionals, over the wrongly stamped sentiment……….much better.

A black Baker’s Twine bow was tucked under the sentiment and a trio of Glossy Dots completed the card.

The Masterfully Made designer series paper by Stampin' Up! used to demonstrate the Kintsugi technique for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Masterfully Made Kintsugi card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on August 5, 2023July 26, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using the Kintsugi Technique. This is a Japanese technique usually defined as ‘golden joinery’ and is often used to mend pottery and ceramics. The theory is that by making the join between the broken pieces – often gold, silver, copper or platinum – obvious it enhances the beauty of the piece.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the kintsugi card, you will need:

Berry Burst card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Masterfully Made dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 2” by 2”
Berry Burst card – 2½” by ⅝”

After choosing my piece of Masterfully Made designer series paper (dsp), I tore it into 5 pieces. You can do as many tears as you like and I thought 5 was a good number. I was careful to tear slowly and carefully to minimise white fluffy edges which don’t work so well for this technique.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A card demonstrating the Kintsugi technique and made using the Masterfully Made designer series paper for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Each torn piece would be embossed and fitted back together against an un embossed edge. So firstly, I needed to work out which side of each tear I would emboss.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A card demonstrating the Kintsugi technique and made using the Masterfully Made designer series paper for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

When I had decided, I gently rubbed a Versamark pad over the torn edge. The edge was then dipped into Copper Embossing Powder and then heat set with my Heat Tool. I repeated this step until all the edges were embossed.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A card demonstrating the Kintsugi technique and made using the Masterfully Made designer series paper for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The pieces were then placed onto one of the large Basic White panels and adhered in place using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I made sure to keep the embossed edges on top. The panel was then mounted onto the Berry Burst card base on Dimensionals.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A card demonstrating the Kintsugi technique and made using the Masterfully Made designer series paper for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The sentiment, from the Charming Sentiments stamp set, was stamped in Berry Burst ink onto the square of Basic White card. This was then die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The ends of the strip of Berry Burst card were flagged and the piece added to the back of the stitched circle. This was then glued to the card front.

wwww.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A card demonstrating the Kintsugi technique and made using the Masterfully Made designer series paper for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

A trio of copper Brushed Metallic Dots completed the card. I loved trying out this new technique and I love the effect it achieves.
