The third flower was stamped in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape, I added leaves in Granny Apple Green and small flowers in Bermuda Bay to fill in the gaps. I then removed the mask for the great reveal. I absolutely love this bright colour palette.

Joseph's Coat Technique used to make a Fireworks at New Year card for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Fireworks at New Year

Hello and welcome to the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop where our theme is ‘New Year’s Eve Party’, I have used the gorgeous Beauty Abounds stamp set and the Joseph’s Coat technique to suggest a night sky lit up with fireworks at New Year.

To recreate the Fireworks at New Year card, you will need:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Daffodil Delight – 5½“ by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 3

I used daubers to cover one of the Whisper White panels with splotches of colour using the Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Pacific Point and Just Jade ink pads.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Fireworks at New Year using the Joseph’s Coat Technique for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Next, I randomly stamped the larger bokeh dot image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set across the same panel, rotating the stamp each time. I then covered the panel with Clear Embossing Powder. The embossing powder was the heat et using my Heat Tool.

I then used my Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad to swipe across the embossed panel until the whole piece was covered with a heavy layer of black ink………and yes, I did get really, really messy…… Taking a small, damp cloth I wiped each or the embossed images clean of black ink revealing the gorgeous vibrant colours underneath.

Using the Playful Alphabet Dies I die cut the word HAPPY and the numbers 2021 from Foam Adhesive Sheet. Using washi tape to hold the letters together I die cut the word HAPPY and the year 2021 from the embossed and inked panel.

Each letter or number was then stuck to its foam counterpart. The embossed panel was adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to another of the Whisper White panel. Using a Basic Black Marker I inked around the edges of the panel – in hind sight I would have been better to have used a Basic Black Panel – before adhering it to the Daffodil Delight layer with the liquid glue.

The die cut letters were then placed back in the negative spaces and the embossed patched painted with Clear Wink of Stella and voila, the card was finished.

To Recreate the All Things Fabulous card, you will need:.

Rococo Rose card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners
Coastal Cabana – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner x 2
Whisper White – 3½” by 2½” –- Rounded upper right corner

I ran one of the larger Whisper White panels through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the subtle effect this folder gives to a project. The embossed layer was glued to the Coastal Cabana panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the Rococo Rose card base with the same liquid Glue.

The larger flower was stamped in Rococo Rose. I stamped the inner detailed layer in full strength ink, added the middle layer in 2nd generation ink and the final layer in 3rd generation ink. I love that you can get lots of different shades from the same ink pad.

The smaller flower was stamped in Daffodil Delight ink. I find this one works better stamping the images in reverse – so 3rd generation ink for largest stamp first, 2nd generation for the middle image and full strength for the more detailed image,

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty card featuring the Eclipse Technique and made using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set

I used the playful Alphabet dies and my die cutting machine to cut the letters out of the image. Using the same dies I cut the letters out again from a foam adhesive panel and glued the coloured die cut letters to the adhesive letters.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Highland Heather layer using liquid glue.

The backing from the die cut letters was then removed and the letters placed into the negative spaces to complete the image. I then added the ‘holes’ from the letters using the liquid adhesive…………after I had hunted through the waste bin to find them!! I forgot I would need them and threw them away……. This is known as the eclipse technique.

The In The Pines stamp set used to make an Christmas card for the Hopping Around the World blog hop

Holiday Mini Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop where our theme this month is ‘Holiday Mini’. I love this time of year with Autumn and Christmas…… so many lovely things to chose from. If you have hopped on from the lovely Sandra Hertzog, I am sure you loved her project. You are now with Mo Rootes in the UK.

I have chosen to use the In the Pines stamp set to make a fairly simple card.

To recreate the Holiday Mini card you will need:

Pool Party card base – – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso – 5 ¼” by 3 ½”
Whisper White – 5” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scrap Early Espresso

I placed the smaller panel of Whisper White in the Stamparatus, upper right corner and set up the outline of the large pine tree on one of the panels. I stamped the image with the Early Espresso ink on the left, moved along one step and stamped again without re-inking. I inked again with the same ink and repeated both steps to give 4 trees.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In The Pines stamp set used for the Holiday Mini Hopping Around the World blog hop

I lined up the inner tree image on top of the 1st stamped tree and picked it up with the back of the plate. I inked it up with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped it onto the first tree then moved along one hinge step to stamp the second tree and repeated the process.

I have chosen the fabulous Coming Home stamp set, Home Together Dies and the Trimming the Town dsp to make my card. If you have joined me from the talented Jessica Brigden you are very welcome.

To recreate the Coming Home card you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Shaded Spruce 4½” by 2 ½”
Whisper White 4” by 3”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” Rounded upper right corner
DSP strip 5 ½” by ½” – I chose the Most Wonderful Time dsp
DSP strip 5” by ¾” – I chose Trimming the Town dsp
Scrap Whisper White card

I began by using the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die cut a scalloped rectangle from the Shaded Spruce and small Whisper White pieces.

I stamped the small snowflakes from the Coming Home stamp set in Pool Party ink across the top of the die cut Whisper White piece and mounted it onto the Shaded Spruce die cut panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next I die cut some of the adorable houses from the Trimming the Town dsp using the Home Together Dies. I love it when the die set co-ordinate with some of the dsp images, so easy to make a quick card. The houses were glued to the stamped rectangle with the same liquid adhesive.

The large tree from the Coming Home stamp set was stamped onto scrap Whisper White card in Early Espresso ink and coloured using the Shaded Spruce and Soft Suede Blends Makers It was added to the stamped panel on Dimensionals.

Using the Banner Triple Punch I flagged both ends of the DSP strips and glued them to the front of the Pool Party card base using the liquid glue. These were 2 scrap pieces that happened to co-ordinate with the colour combo I was using. You can use anything you happen to have.

Using a Paper Trimmer I cut off the left hand side of the scalloped Rectangle piece and added it to the card front with the liquid glue. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped onto the card front with Misty Moonlight ink and a trio of Adhesive-backed Snowflakes added to complete the card.

The box was put together using Tear & Tape, a very strong adhesive which will  ensure that is doesn’t fall apart.

Using the new Joyful Holly stamp set I randomly stamped the outline holly images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Whisper White panel.

I stamped the infill images in Old Olive ink, they were really easy to line up and added the berries in Real Red  ink.

The stamped panel was then cut into 1⅞” strips. These strips were cut down to 2⅞”. You need 4 pieces 2⅞” by 1⅞” for the panels of the box and 1 piece 1⅞” by 1⅞” for the top of the box.

These panels were adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I die cut another label from Real Red card and cut it apart as shown in the photograph. I adered the pieces to the back of the sentiment with the liquid glue and cut the label down. The label was tucked under the bow and adhered with the liquid glue.
