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
Calypso Coral – 5½” by 5½” – to die cut for both cards

2nd card

Calypso Coral – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
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.

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

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.

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

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.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped on both card fronts in Merry Merlot ink and the cards were completed with a trio of Holiday Rhinestones.

Honeycomb Hive

Posted on May 10, 2020April 29, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet Honeycomb hive card inspired by a gorgeous card I saw on Pinterest a while ago. The original card was made by Libby Dyson, a demo from Australia – click on her name to see her original.

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

Using Crushed Curry ink and my Stamparatus I stamped the hive image on the piece of Tropical Oasis dsp – I chose the pineapple print – I just wanted a subtle pattern to show through the ink. I glued the stamped dsp to the card front after working out the position of the negative hive space.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty thank you card made using the Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee dies

The honeycomb piece was glued to the back of the Whisper White panel over the negative space using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the larger bee in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap White card and die cut it out. The stripes were coloured using the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker and the bee added to the card front with liquid glue.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was stamped in the same black ink, punched out with the Classic Label Punch and added to the card front with liquid glue. I added Clear Wink of Stella to the bee’s wings and a trio of Holiday Rhinestones to complete the card.
