So Hoppy Together

Posted on January 4, 2019January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have had fun playing with the sweet new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called So Hoppy Together. This is gorgeous stamp set is one of the free choices available with a £45 order and there are so many lovely things on offer this year.

Making the card

I started by stamping the cute little frog in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a 3” by 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies. Whilst I had the Big Shot out I also cut a slightly larger scalloped circle die from Daffodil Delight cardstock.

I coloured in my frog using the Shaded Spruce Combo, Daffodil Delight Combo & Light Petal Pink Blends Pens. I stamped a few little flies at the top of the circle and added some googly eyes to the frog.

I chose a piece of Garden Impressions dsp, cut it at 5⅞” by 4⅛” and cut it on the diagonal. I added half of the dsp to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a ¼” strip of Pacific Point cardstock to the top of the dsp using the same glue.

The sentiment from the Family & Friends stamp set was stamped along the top of the Pacific Point cardstock in Pacific Point ink and added the circle topper on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

These little frogs are so adorable, I think this is going to be a really popular set.

Berry Burst Butterflies

Posted on January 1, 2019January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card featuring butterflies which I made as one of my samples for January’s classes featuring the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

Making the card

I started by stamping a double butterfly randomly all over the front of a Berry Burst card base in Berry Burst ink. I stamped it again in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched them out using the Butterfly Duet punch. I used my Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist Markers to colour the butterflies in.

I stamped the sentiment on scrap Whisper White cardstock using Berry Burst ink and die cut a circle using my Big Shot and the Layering Circle Dies. I also die cut a Basic Black scalloped circle and a Lemon Lime Twist circle. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the stamped white layer to the Basic Black layer, then the Basic Black to the Lemon Lime Twist circle.

I added a strip of Tear n Tape to the card front and added a loop of Berry Burst silver Edged ribbon to the Tear n Tape before adding the circle topper on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the butterflies to the topper with Mini Glue Dots and added some Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

Global Design Project #170 Abstract Impressions

Posted on December 30, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made using the Abstract Impressions stamp set for the Global Design Project #170 sketch challenge.

Making the card

I started by cutting a small panel of Whisper White cardstock at 3¾” by 2¾”. I stamped the broader leaf cluster in 2^nd generation Granny Apple Green ink – inked up, stamped onto scrap paper then stamped on the Whisper White cardstock piece. I then stamped the narrower leaf cluster in full strength Granny Apple Green ink. The base flowers were stamped in 2ng generation Grapefruit Grove ink and the highlights stamped over the top in full strength Grapefruit Grove ink. The stamped panel was then added to a Granny Apple Green panel measuring 3⅞” by 2⅞”, having rounded the upper left corner of both panels using the Detailed Trio Punch.

I stamped the sentiment from the Abstract Impressions stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4” by ½” and used my scissors to cut both ends into a banner shape. Using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch I punch a scalloped edge from a piece of Wood Textures dsp and added it to the back of the sentiment using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This piece was then added to the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Pop-Up Ferrero Rocher Treat Box for the Just Add Ink #439 challenge

Posted on December 25, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the little treat boxes I made to decorate our Christmas table. I saw a video recently by the Paper Pixie where she made this box, click on the link to watch her video. I have changed the cardstock, dsp and decoration.

To make the box you need;

Cardstock – 6⅝” by 4⅝” – I used either Poppy Parade and Garden Green

Designer Series Paper (DSP) – 6⅜” by 2⅜ – I used Santa’s Workshop

Making the box base

I used my Paper Trimmer to score the cardstock as some of the measurements were in sixteenths of an inch. Taking a piece of cardstock I scored on the long side at 1⁹/₁₆”, 3⅛”, 4 ¹¹/₁₆” and 6¼” and on the short side at 1 ⁹/₁₆” and 3¼”.
