Pretty Spider Plant from the Sitting Pretty stamp set

Posted on by

I have made such a sweet card today using the Sitting Pretty stamp set and the lovely spider plant image. I remember these plants so well from my student days………they were the only ones I never managed to kil! Unfortunately I have not been blest with green fingers so I had best stick to stamping my plants.

Making the Spider Plant card

I began by stamping the outline image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 2⅝”. I stamped the pot in Poppy Parade ink and the spider plant in Granny Apple Green ink, I love this colour combination. I stamped the sweet sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink. I rounded the upper right corner with the Detailed Trio Punch and added the stamped panel to a layer of Poppy Parade card with a rounded upper right corner.

I ran a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3 ⅝” through my Big Shot with the Striped Scalloped Embossing Folder – I love this embossing folder. I added the embossed panel to a Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose adhesive then added the stamped panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I felt something was missing and after trying a couple of things I decided to add 2 small flags in Granny Apple Green and Poppy Parade cardstock to the upper left side of the raised panel.

I love the simplicity of this card. I hope you like it.

High Tide meets Colorful Seasons by Stampin' Up!

High Tide meets Colorful Seasons

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card I made recently for one of the lovely ladies in my book club that had a special birthday earlier this month and it had to be large enough to for us all to sign.

I knew that Sue had spent her actual birthday with her family and friends on the beach at Southwold so I chose to make the card using the High Tide stamp set and the sweet deckchair from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.

Ingredients to make the High Tide card

Blueberry Bushel cardstock – 10” by 5½” scored at 4¼” and 8½” on the long side
Blueberry Bushel cardstock -7” by 3½” scored at 3½” on the long side
Whisper White cardstock – 5¼” by 4” x 3 – 2 for the inside and one for the back panel
Whisper White cardstock – 5⅜” by 4⅛” for the outside
Whisper White cardstock – 5⅜” by 1⅜” for the outside
Whisper White cardstock – 3¼” by 3¼” x 3 for the mini card
Pineapple punch cardstock – 5⅜” by 4⅛” for the back panel
Pineapple punch cardstock – 3⅜” by 3⅜” for the mini card
2018 – 2020 In-Color dsp stack

I began by taking the 3 – 3¼” by 3¼” panels of Whisper White. I stamped the ‘sand’ along the bottom of each panel in 2nd and 3rd generation Pineapple Punch ink. I added the deckchair frame in Basic Gray ink and seat in Blueberry Bushel ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – High Tide meets Colorful Seasons by Stampin’ Up!

On the front panel I masked off an area for the sun using a punched Post It Note circle. Taking a wedge of sponge I added Balmy Blue to create the sky using a very light touch, slowly building up the colour. When I was happy with the colour I removed the Post It mask and added Pineapple Punch ink using a Sponge Dauber to create the sun. The marsh grass was added using 2nd generation Mossy Meadow ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – High Tide meets Colorful Seasons by Stampin’ Up!

I sponged Balmy Blue ink onto the other 2 Whisper White panels  but left them otherwise plain to give room for signatures. I rounded one corner on each of the stamped panels and added each of them to a 3⅜” by 3⅜” panel of Pineapple Punch cardstock with identical rounded corners using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

High Tide meets Colorful Seasons by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – High Tide meets Colorful Seasons by Stampin’ Up!

I glued the front panel and the left hand inside panel to the Blueberry Bushel mini card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I set the inside right had panel to one side to add later.

Next, I added the 2 pieces of dsp to the larger Whisper White panels and adhered them to the front of the larger base card.  About half way down the smaller right had panel I stuck a small strip of   Tear & Tape and adhered a length of Blueberry Bushel ⅛” ribbon. The mini card was then placed on top of the  narrow panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking the remaining large Whisper White panels I stamped and sponged on the beach scenes and glued 2 panels inside the card base and the last panel was added to the 5⅜” by 4⅛” piece of Pineapple punch cardstock. This entire panel was then adhered to the back of the card covering the strip of ribbon.

Some Tear & Tape was then stuck on the right hand inside panel of the mini card and the last panel added over top. The card was then tied closed.

I am really happy with this card and hope the ladies like it.

Double Z Fold card

A Special Double Z Fold Card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card I made for the 60th birthday of one of my oldest and dearest friends. 4 of us started our nurse training over 40 years ago and have remained firm friends ever since. I seem to gravitate to these double z fold cards for all my special birthdays at the moment but I do love them.

Making a Double Z Fold card

I started with a panel of Thick Whisper White 11” by 5½” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then cut another piece of Thick Whisper White 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side.

Double Z Fold card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products

I chose a pattern from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper stack (dsp) and cut a piece at 5¼” by 5¼” and a piece at 5¼” by 2½”. I adhered the dsp to the 11” by 5½” scored panel of Thick Whisper White, the larger panel on what will become the back of the card and the smaller panel to the front of the card using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. On this occasion I left the middle panel undecorated.

Double Z Fold card

www,crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products

I cut 3 panels of Old Olive cardstock; 1 panel at 4” by 4” and 2 panels at 4” by 2½” and adhered them to the smaller scored Thick Whisper White panel. I then cut 3 panels of Whisper White; 1 panel at 3¾” by 3¾” and 2 panels at 3¾” by 2¼”.  I stamped the gorgeous roses from the Petal Palette stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink along the bottom of the larger Whisper White panel and in the upper right corner of the same panel. I then stamped the roses on either the upper right or lower left of the other two panels and coloured them in using the following Stampin’ Blends – Dark Pink Pirouette (retired), Light Lovely Lipstick, Light & Dark Old Olive. I rounded the corners of the layers using the Detailed Trio Punch.

Double Z Fold card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products

I stamped the ‘Happy’, ‘Birthday’ and ‘th’ in Momento Tuxedo Black ink on the front and second panels. These words came from the, sadly now retired, Number of Years stamp set.  I die cut the 2 number using the also retired Large Number Framelits from Old Olive cardstock. I cut 3 of each and layered them one on top of the other to give added dimension. The numbers were then added to the front panel with Tombow.

The 2 Thick Whisper White pieces were then carefully glued together. To finish the card I made an envelope using my Envelope Punch Board.

Love the colours of this card and I really hope my friend loves it and forgives me for the large ‘60’ on the front!!

Springtime Impressions thinlits coloured with inks and used as a stencil

Springtime Impressions Thinlits used 2 ways

Posted on by

I’ve been having such fun today playing with the gorgeous Springtime Impressions Thinlit dies and lots of lovely Spring/Summer colours. This fab die set is available as a bundle with the Abstract Impressions stamp set at a 10% discount in my online shop. For the cards today I have only used the Springtime Impressions Thinlit Dies.

Card 1

I began by taking the large, detailed floral corner die and running it through my Big Shot. I used Whisper White cardstock and following Stampin’ Up’s! latest advice I ran it through the Big Shot with the cutting side facing up and It cut like a dream and was so much easier to get out of the die.

Springtime Impressions thinlits used as a stencil

www,crafty-rootes.com – Springtime Impressions thinlits used as a stencil

I then took a panel of Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” and laid the intricate die cut on top and slightly overlapping the bottom left corner. I then opened up my Berry Burst, Flirty Flamingo, Powder Pink, Highland Heather, So Saffron and Granny Apple Green ink pads and using a Sponge Dauber for each colour I coloured in the flowers and leaves making sure to tap the ink on and not to rub at all. I held the die cut firmly in place with a finger as I didn’t want it to move.  When I lifted the die cut piece away it revealed a gorgeous stencilled image. I just love these colours together. I then rounded the upper right corner with the Detailed Trio Punch.

I added a strip of Flirty Flamingo ruched ribbon which has retired and adhered it to the back using Sellotape. The sentiment comes from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and was stamped on scrap Whisper White cardstock in Granny Apple Green ink and I die cut using  one of the sweet labels from the Lakeside Framelits. I die cut one end then the other to give a shorter banner. I repeated this technique with a scrap of Granny Apple Green cardstock and adhered the 2 together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and adhered over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This panel was then added to a layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock 5½” by 3¾” after rounding the upper right corner and added to a Thick Whisper White card base with Tombow having again rounded the upper right corner.

Card 2

For the second card I took the coloured in die cut and added it to a Whisper White panel 5⅜” by 3⅝” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. As the die cut is so detailed I like to add the glue to the back with a small piece Stampin’ Sponge. I add a blob of glue to my Silicon Craft Sheet and pick it up with the sponge then dab the glue all over.

Springtime Impressions thinlits coloured with inks

I stamped the same sentiment in Flirty Flamingo ink and rounded the lower right corner with the Detailed Trio Punch. I added this layer to a panel of Flirty Flamingo cardstock 5½” by 3¾” with a rounded lower right corner using Tombow. The whole panel was then added to a So Saffron card base, also with rounded lower right corners, using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I love these pretty feminine cards, hope you like them.

Love What You Do by Stampin' Up!

Love What You Do

Posted on by

Today I used the Love What You Do stamp set to make a sweet and simple thank you card.

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4” by 2¾” and stamped 3 of the flower images in Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I deliberately tried to space them as evenly as possible across the panel. Using my Light & Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Pens I coloured in the flowers. I rounded the upper left and lower right corners of the panel with the Detailed Trio Punch.

Love What You Do by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – Love What You Do by Stampin’ Up! for a thank you card

I rounded the same corners of a piece of Basic Black cardstock measuring 4¼” by 3” and adhered the stamped panel to this panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

Love What You Do by Stampin' Up! for a thank you card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Love What You Do by Stampin’ Up! for a thank you card

I chose to use a Daffodil Delight card base and stamped some of the tiny flowers in the upper left and lower right corner in Daffodil Delight ink to give a subtle tone on tone effect. The stamped panel was added on Stampin’ Dimensionals to the centre of the card front.

Love What You Do by Stampin' Up! for a thank you card

I stamped the sentiment from the new Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it out using my Paper Trimmer. I added the banner end with scissors (Paper Snips). I added a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” to the inside of the card and stamped and coloured the same flower before sticking it down.

I love this cheerful sunny card. I hope you like it.

Sitting Pretty thinking of you card

Sitting Pretty for a simple thinking of you card

Posted on by

Today I have been making a simple thinking of you card using the Sitting Pretty stamp set and my Stamparatus.

Ink to Block Technique

Sitting Pretty thinking of you card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Sitting Pretty thinking of you card

I began by taking a large acrylic block, size E. I added Granny Apple Green ink  by pressing the ink pad directly to the top of the block. I added Balmy Blue ink to the bottom of the block then spritzed the block using a Stampin’ Spritzer filled with water: I find 3 – 4 sprays works best. You need the ink to be moving and blending on the block. Turn the block over and place it down on the Thick Whisper White card front and leave for a couple of minutes for the ink to be absorbed onto the card. Lift the block off and dab up any excess water. Set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Sitting Pretty thinking of you card

When the card base was dry I placed it into the Stamparatus and held it in position with a magnet. I inked up the gorgeous decorative bench from the Sitting Pretty stamp set with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it down. I repeated this twice more to get a really dark image.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Sitting Pretty thinking of you card

I added the sentiment form the Sitting Here stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and added some Faceted Dots to finish the card.

Such a simple but effective card and I love the fact that every time you try this background technique you get a different look. Love it! I really hope you like it.

Varied Vases for June Classes

Varied Vases for June Classes

Posted on by

For my June classes I have focused on the gorgeous new Varied Vases stamp set and the co-ordinating Vases Builder Punch and we made 3 super cute cards. I also chose to use the fab new 2018 – 2020 In-Colors which look great together and are so bright and summery.

Varied Vases for June Classes

www.crafty-rootes.com – Varied Vases for June Classes

Card 1

We began the first card by stamping the largest solid vase using Blueberry Bushel ink onto a square of Whisper White 2¾” by 2¾”. We then stamped the outline vases using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink. The gorgeous hanging orchid was also stamped in the Momento Tuxedo Black ink. In some classes we stamped the inside of the flowers using the Pineapple Punch ink and others coloured the blossoms in with the Pineapple Punch Marker – love this colour.

We ran the 5⅞” by 2” panel of Pineapple Punch cardstock through the Big Shot using one of the Petal Pairs Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.  We then stamped a sentiment just below using Blueberry Bushel ink.

Using the Decorative Trio Punch we rounded the upper left corner of the stamped panel and on a panel of Blueberry Bushel cardstock 3” by 3” and adhered the panels together using the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Varied Vases for June Classes

www.crafty-rootes.com – Varied Vases for June Classes

Card 2

We began by stamping the scalloped shelf in Lovely Lipstick ink towards the bottom of a Whisper White panel 4½” by 2¾ ”. The sentiment was stamped below this in either Lovely Lipstick or Blueberry Bushel ink.

We stamped the sweet patterned vase in Blueberry Bushel ink and punched it out using the co-ordinating Vases Builder Punch. We also stamped the 3 vases from a scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  The stamped vase was then placed face down roughly where the ladies wanted to place it and the flower stem was then stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and like magic, when you turn the vase over the stem is perfectly positioned! We added the white vases either stamped of the stamped vase using Tombow.

We coloured the flowers in with the Lovely Lipstick Marker. Taking the starry flower stamped we inked it up in Lovely Lipstick ink and stamped in the upper left and lower right corners on the front of the Thick Whisper White card base.  The stamped layer, Blueberry Bushel Layer (4¾” by 3”) and the Thick Whisper White card base had the upper left hand corners rounded using the Decorative Trio Punch. The stamped layer was adhered to the Blueberry Bushel layer with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and the panel then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Varied Vases for June Classes

www,crafty-rootes.com – Varied Vases for June Classes

Card 3

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock we stamped the scalloped shelf in Blueberry Bushel ink. We then stamped the vases in Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove ink, in some classes we added the outlines in Momento Tuxedo Black ink, and other classes opted not to do this.

We stamped the flowers on the Momento Tuxedo ink making sure only to ink up the top part of the stem and coloured in the flowers with the 2018 – 2020 In-Color Markers. We stamped the sentiment in Lovely Lipstick ink and stamped it onto a ⅜” strip of Whisper White cardstock and cut it down to fit.

We rounded the upper left corner of all the layers in the same way as the previous cards and adhered the layers with Tombow and added the panel to the Thick Whisper White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The ladies loved these cards; they are so bright and cheerful. Hope you like them.

Gorgeous Butterfly double z fold birthday card using Stampin' Up! product

Share What You Love Butterfly

Posted on by

Today I have been making a birthday card for a friend using the lovely Share What you Love dsp as a starting point.

Making the card

I began with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 11” by 5½” which I scored on the long side at 2¾” by 5½” using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I took a 2nd piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then folded and burnished all of the score lines.

I chose a pattern from the Share What You Love dsp and cut 2 panels at 5⅜” by 2⅝” and one panel at 5⅜” by 5⅜”. I then adhered these to the larger Thick Whisper White panel leaving a tiny border round each panel.

I then cut panels in Pear Pizzazz cardstock – one at 4” by 3½” and two at 4” by 2⅝” and 2 Whisper White panels 3⅞” by 2⅜”.

I ran the larger Pear Pizzazz panel through the Big Shot with the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder. And adhered the piece to the largest panel of the 9¼” by 4¼” Thick Whisper White cardstock using Tombow Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Very Vintage stamp set in the lower left corner of one of the Whisper White panels using Pear Pizzazz ink. Before stamping I cut the sentiment apart with a sharp pair of scissors.  I added the small flowers from the Love What you Do stamp set around the sentiment and in the upper right corner of the 2nd Whisper White panel in Pool Party ink. I added both panels to the Pear Pizzazz layers with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Taking some scrap Whisper White cardstock and some scrap Vellum I die cut the gorgeous large butterfly using the Springtime Dies. I adhered the 2 together with Mini Glue Dots and added them to the front of the card with Mini Glue Dots. I finished the card off by adding some Glitter Enamel Dots (retired) to the body of the butterfly.

I then glued the 2 parts of the card together. I really hope my friend likes her card.
