The smaller panel of Basic White card was die cut using the lacy die from the Blossoming Happiness Dies. This die is stunning, it partially cuts and partly embosses, so pretty. This piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I die cut the flowers from the Hues of Happiness dsp, actually these are all the partial flowers from around the edge. These were arranged on top of the lacy layer.

The sentiment from the Happiness Abounds stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White card and die cut using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I added it on Dimensionals to hide the messy cut off flowers.

The inked panel was then placed in the Stamparatus and I stamped the ground, trees and deer in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the Stamparatus so that I could stamp each image multiple times to get the images really, really black.

I added some highlights to the deer with a Chalk Marker.

Fabulous Fern card

Posted on June 8, 2022June 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

This card was made for one of my lovely team members using the Simply Fabulous stamp set.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we a sharing cards made for the men in our lives. I have gone a bit out of the box and made a striped romance card using the Ranunculus Romance stamp set……… not a set I would normally think of for a masculine style card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Ranunculus Romance stamp set used to make a masculine card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

I cleaned the stamp on my Simply Shammy and stamped the image again in Starry Sky ink and once more in Orchid Oasis ink.

I repeated the pattern until the whole panel was covered, cleaning the stamp between each change of colour. The stamped panel was then added to the Orchid Oasis layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Ranunculus Romance stamp set used to make a masculine card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The Tahitian Tide card base looked a little plain so I stamped the image again in Tahitian Tide ink in the upper left and lower right corners before adding the decorative piece on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. I added a scrap piece of Starry night card behind the sentiment and timed it down to size before adding it to the card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -Gorgeous Gilding Flakes and the Happiness Abounds stamp set used for the Adhesives Blog Hop

The backing paper was removed and I carefully, dunked the sticky panel into my tub of gliding flake. I love the gilding flakes but my goodness you can make a real mess with them if you aren’t careful. I used a Blending Brush to rub away the excess flakes revealing the golden stripes. The panel was then added to the Calypso Coral panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive which gives a little wiggle room to get the layer perfectly positioned. The panel was then added with the same liquid glue to the Petal Pink card front.

In Color Smiles card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on May 30, 2022May 20, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are showcasing the new 2022 – 2024 In-colors. I have made a pretty in-color smiles card using the Sending Smiles stamp set,

Colours used in this project are:

To Recreate the in-color smiles card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Basic White card – 3¾” by 1½”

Using my Grid Paper and a ruler I measured down 1¼” and using a pencil drew a line across one of the larger panels of Basic White card. I drew another line about 1 ½” lower. This helped me to arrange my stamping.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

I began by stamping the leafy sprig in Parakeet Party above and below the lines. The Sweet Sorbet flower was stamped next.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

I used Starry Sky ink to add centres to all the flowers. The decorated panel was then glued to the Starry Sky layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the whole panel was added to the Sweet Sorbet card base using the same glue. I used a clean rubber to erase the pencil lines.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

The larger part of the sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink and the smaller sentiment added using Sweet Sorbet………I messed this up and ended up re-stamping it onto scarp Basic white and die cutting it out using one of the labels from the co-ordinating Sending Dies. I added this over the badly stamped words using liquid adhesive. This piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
