Stampin' Up! Jar of Flowers stamp set used to make a pretty floral card

Blue Glass Jar

Posted on August 16, 2020August 11, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a blue glass jar card inspired by a Youtube video made by a fellow demonstrator Kathy of Kathy’s Stampin World – – she made a really cute card with a milk glass effect mason jar and I thought I would give it a try.

To recreate the Blue Glass Jar card you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
So Saffron – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I began by painting the inside of the mason jar with blue metallic paint and setting it aside to dry. Once dry it was very patchy so I gave it another coat using a green metallic paint and again set it to one side to dry. I really liked the 2 tone look this gave.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

I stamped the flowers from the Jar of Flowers stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Whisper White card and cut them out using sharp scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

The image was coloured in using the following Blends Markers – So Saffron, Purple Posy, Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue, Just Jade, Mint Macaron, Pool Party and Soft Suede

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

Using the Jar Punch I punched out the jar from one of the Whisper White panels. The mason jar was inserted into the punched out hole and the protective adhesive layer removed to adhere it to the back of the Whisper White panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

I popped the punched out Whisper White jar onto the back of the mason jar and adhered it with a little tape. The whole panel was added to the So Saffron layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to the Just Jade card base with the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

I felt the panel looked a little bare so added some dots in Just Jade ink taking card to mask the sides not to get ink on the So Saffron layer or the card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

The flowers were added to the card front on Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Home stamp set on scrap Whisper White card and cut out a tag with scissors. I added it to the jar with a glue dot and finished the card off with a double Linen Thread bow.

I hope you like it.

Red Sunflower

Posted on August 11, 2020August 8, 2020 by Mo Rootes

I love sunflowers, they are such cheerful flowers, so big and showy. I did a bit of google searching and discovered to my surprise that you can get a red sunflower ……..who knew!

To recreate the red sunflower card you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Real Red – 4⅜” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 4¼” by 3⅜” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Daffodil Delight, Real Red & Whisper White

I used the Stamparatus to stamp the large sunflower from the Celebrate Sunflower stamp set onto the smaller panel of Whisper White. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the stamparatus so that I could re-stamp to get a darker image. The leaves were stamped in Old Olive ink

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful red sunflower card made using the gorgeous Celebrate Sunflower stamp set

I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the sunflower and leaves – Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mango Melody, Old Olive and Soft Suede. I took a Black Stamp ‘n write marker to spritze the panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful red sunflower card made using the gorgeous Celebrate Sunflower stamp set

The stamped panel was glued to the Real Red panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful red sunflower card made using the gorgeous Celebrate Sunflower stamp set

I wrapped some of the gorgeous Braided Trim around the panel and added a bow to the top. I added a small strip of Daffodil Delight, Real Red and Whisper White card with the ends flagged to the back of the panel using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful red sunflower card made using the gorgeous Celebrate Sunflower stamp set

The sentiment was stamped onto the Crumb Cake card base in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Stamparatus again as I wanted the sentiment to be really dark and could stamp it multiple times.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful red sunflower card made using the gorgeous Celebrate Sunflower stamp set

I added the stamped layer to the card base with Dimensionals and added a trio of Holiday Rhinestones to the card front. A little Clear Wink of Stella was added around the flower centre. So pretty.

Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside

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!
