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

Share What You Love Butterfly

Posted on June 12, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

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 2^nd 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 2^nd 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.

Happiest of Days for a quick card

Posted on November 24, 2017November 24, 2017 by Mo Rootes

The Happiest of Days stamp set is a great set for making quick, simple, stylish cards in a hurry. I used it today for a birthday card and have added a sneak peek of new dsp which will be available from January.

I stamped the image of presents in Archival Basic Gray ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the 2¼” Circle Punch, this was new in the annual catalogue this summer. I coloured in the image using Rich Razzleberry and Pink Pirouette Marker pens and added the sentiment from the Confetti Celebration stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink.

I punched a circle from Pink Pirouette cardstock using the 2½” punch and added it to the back of the Whisper White circle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Banner Triple Punch I flagged the end of a 5½” by 2” piece of dsp from the upcoming Petal Passion 12” by 12” dsp pack and added it to the front of a Rich Razzleberry card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I added the looped Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon onto the piece of dsp, holding it in place with Fast Fuse Adhesive. The topper piece was then added over the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. After the photos were taken I added a Black Rhinestone to the centre of each of the bows on top of the presents.

A very simple, understated card, Hope you like it.

Frozen Treats by Stampin' Up! bowl of Neopolitan ice-cream

Frozen Treats makes a bowl of Neapolitan ice-cream

Posted on September 22, 2017September 22, 2017 by Mo Rootes

Some friends and I were chatting over the weekend about things we remembered from our childhood and Neapolitan ice-cream came up – do you remember it? Luscious stripes of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate ice-cream, lovely. It was obviously still on my mind when I was playing with the Frozen Treats framelit dies today as this is what I came up with.

I started by die cutting a stitched edged square from Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shaped framelits. I then die cut the larger ice-cream scoop from So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Chocolate Chip cardstock and layered them onto the die cut Whisper White square using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I die cut the sundae dish from Pacific Point cardstock and added it to the Whisper White cardstock with Stampin’ Dimensionals giving the impression that the scoops of ice-cream were sitting in the bowl. I couldn’t resist die cutting the adorable spoon from a scrap of Silver Foil and the cherry from Real Red cardstock with a Chocolate Chip cardstock stalk.

I added the Whisper White square to a slightly layered square of Chocolate Chip cardstock before adding the whole piece to So Saffron scalloped square die cut using the Layering Squares framelits. I took a 1” strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and punched the ends using the Banner Triple punch and added this to a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added the topper panel over the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment came from the happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set and was stamped in Chocolate Chip ink. I used the co-ordinating Cool Treats stamp set to decorate the inside of the card and the front of the Whisper White envelope. Love this fun, colourful card. Hope you like it.
