I stamped one of the sweet flower images from the Tea Together stamp set, which is retiring at the beginning of June, in Early Espresso ink and used the following Blends Markers to colour it in – Petal Pink combo and Mossy Meadow combo. The flower was added to the lower right corner.

Using the Leaf punch, which will no longer be available from the beginning of June, I punched a number of leaves from scrap Mossy Meadow card. I crumpled the leaves up to give them some texture then slid them in around the sentiment using Glue Dots.

A sweet bee themed hank you card featuring the Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee dies by Stampin' Up!

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.

To recreate the Honeycomb Hive card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Tropical Oasis dsp – 3½” by 3½”
Scrap Whisper White

I began by die cutting the hive shape from the Whisper White panel using the Detailed Bee dies. I also die cut the honeycomb from scrap Whisper White.

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

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.

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

The flower sprigs were inked up using the Granny Apple Green and Flirty Flamingo Markers before being stamped on scrap Whisper White and die cut. The sprigs were added to the card front with liquid Adhesive.

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

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.

I am so sad this gorgeous set is retiring. I hope you like the honeycomb hive card and thank you Libby for the inspiration.

Tropical Chic with the baby swipe technique

Posted on April 24, 2020April 21, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a pretty card made using the Tropical Chic stamp set and the Tropical Thinlit dies and a piece of Whisper White card that I coloured using the baby swipe technique. This is a technique shared by Barry and Jay of Mitosu Crafts

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black – 3¾” by 2⅞”
Whisper White – 3⅝” by 2¾”

I added 3 drops of Pineapple Punch re-inker, 3 dots of Grapefruit Grove re-inker, 3 dots of Real Red re-inker and a dot of Blueberry Bushel re-inker. I smudged them together using the edge of a smaller block – as demonstrated by Barry. I then swiped the baby wipe, wrapped around the block across the card stock panel. This gives such a cool effect.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty card made using the Baby swipe technique and the Tropical Chic stamp set

When the inked panel was dry I placed it in the Stamparatus and covered it with the 3 leaf stamps from the Tropical Chic stamp set. I picked the stamps up with the clear panel. I inked up the stamps with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped the images onto the panel. I really wanted the leaves to be very black so repeated this step three times.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty card made using the Baby swipe technique and the Tropical Chic stamp set

This panel was then mounted onto the Basic Black layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
