A pretty ombre hearts card made for the Stamper's Showcase Blog Hop

All You Need Is Love – Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the January Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop where I theme this month is ‘All You Need is Love’. I have chosen the gorgeous Detailed Hearts die to make my card.

To recreate the All You Need is Love card you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left and lower right corner
Blueberry Bushel – 5¾” by 4” – Rounded upper left and lower right corner
Whisper White – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded upper left and lower right corner
Blueberry Bushel 4” by ⅞”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left and lower right corner – for the inside

I began by using sponges to ink the largest panel of Whisper White card stock. I started at the top and worked down the panel using Balmy Blue ink, Pool Party ink, Seaside Spray ink, Pacific Point ink, Blueberry Bushel ink and Night of Navy ink to create an ombre look.

I die cut the large panel of hearts from the ombre sheet and carefully pocked out all the hearts, putting them to one side to use in another project.

Lovely bee themed card made for the January classes using Stampin' Up! products

Golden Honey Bee January Classes

Today I am sharing the cards we made in this months classes using the lovely Honey Bee stamp set and Detailed Bee dies. My husband and I kept bees for many years before our hives were decimated by the varroa bug but we are still eating through the honey they gave us.

Each lady coming to class this month was given a 6” by 6” pack of the Golden Honey designer series paper (dsp) to use in class, the remainder they took home to add to their stash. This dsp is one of the choices you can choose for free from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue with a £45 order.

To recreate the Inter-Locking Gate Fold card you will need:

Crushed Curry – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored on the long side at 2⅞” at either end
Whisper White – 5⅝” by 4”
Basic Black – 4” by 2⅝” x 2
Golden Honey dsp – 3⅞” by 2½” x 2
Whisper White – 4” by 1” x 3
Golden Honey dsp – 3⅞” by ⅞” x 3
Scrap Whisper White

This card was inspired by a card made by a fellow demonstrator Wendy Cranford.

The ladies chose 2 patterns of dsp, one for the 2 front panels and 3 for the overlapping straps. They cut their cardstock using a Paper Trimmer.

The dsp panels were adhered to either the two Basic Black panels or the three Whisper White panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The larger panels were then adhered with the same glue to the front panels of the card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Sweet card for January classes made using the Golden Honey dsp and the Honey Bee Bundle

They stamped the bee and the flower on on the larger Whisper White panel, adding colour with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. The panel was then glued inside the card.

The three strips were then added to the cardfront. The top and bottom strip were glued to the left front panel and the middle strip to the right front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We used the stamparatus to stamp the bee hive or skep onto scrap Whisper White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, we stamped again using the same ink to get a really black imade. The smaller bee and flower were stamped in the same ink before all three images were die cut.

The hive was attached to the top and bottom strap using a tiny blob of liquid adhesive at the top and bottom of the hive. The bee was glued to the midde strap and the flower added to the side of the hive with liquid adhesive.

To recreate the Trio of Bees card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Crushed Curry – 5” by 3¼” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Golden Honey dsp – 4⅞” by 3⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 4¼” by 2⅞” – Rounded Upper Left corner

Lovely bee themed card made for the January classes using Stampin' Up! products

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Sweet card for January classes made using the Golden Honey dsp and the Honey Bee Bundle

The large bee was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink at the top and bottm of the Whisper White panel and the strips coloured in with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker.

The ladies then die cut a large golden bee from the edge of ther 6” panel of dsp – the remaining piece of dsp needed to be 3¾” wide to use on the third card.

The stripes on the golden bee were coloured using the dark Basic Black Blends Marker and the bee added to the middle of the panel on a dimensional. The remaining layers were adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

To recreate the Hive of Bees card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Lower Left corner
Golden Honey dsp – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded Lower Left corner
Scrap Whisper White card stock

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Sweet card for January classes made using the Golden Honey dsp and the Honey Bee Bundle

The Golden Honey dsp was glued to the card base with multipurpose liquid adhesive.

The stamparatus was used to stamp the bee hive in Crushed Curry ink onto scrap Whisper White. Three bees were also stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. All the images were then die cut.

The stripes on the bees were coloured with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker and the hive and bees were added to the card front with Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set was stamped in Crushed Curry ink onto scrap Whisper White card stock and punched out using the Classic label Punch. It was added to the card front with glue.

The 2 circles were glued together and the left side was trimmed down using the Paper Trimmer. The circle was added to the card front with glue and dimensionals.

A pretty card made for the Stamp 'N Hop Blog Hop using the Lovely Lily Pad stamp set and Lily Pad Dies

Lovely Lily Pad for the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where our theme is Sale-a-Bration/Occasions. If you have hopped over from the lovely Cheryl Taylor, welcome – my name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. I love Sale-a-Bration, gorgeous free stuff and a great joining offer……..what’s not to love. I have chosen to use the gorgeous Lovely Lily Pad stamp set.

To recreate the Lovely Lily Pad card you will need:

Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Lower Left corner
Flirty Flamingo – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded Lower Left corner
Whisper White – 5” by 3¼” – Rounded Lower Left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜ by 3⅝ – Rounded Lower Left corner for the inside
Blackberry Bliss – 4 ¼” by ¾”
Flirty Flamingo – 4 ¼” by ¾”
Scrap Whisper White

I ran the smaller Whisper White panel through the gorgeous new Coastal Weave Embossing Folder and adhered it to the larger Flirty Flamingo layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This panel was glued to the Blackberry Bliss card base with the same adhesive.

Using the Lily Pad Dies I die cut the sweet border from both the Blackberry Bliss and Flirty Flamingo strips and adhered them together, slightly offset using the liquid adhesive. The decorative strip was adhered to the card front with liquid adhesive.
