Occasion Framed card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on September 24, 2022September 12, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we have a colour challenge. We were asked to create something using 3 of the following 5 colours:

I couldn’t pick just 3, I mean which 3 would you choose?……..so….. I used them all + Basic White to create an occasion framed card.

To recreate the occasion framed card, you will need:

Thick Basic White care base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Design A Daydream dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Polished Pink card – Smidgeon under 5” by smidgeon under 3¼”
Basic White card – 4⅞ by 3⅛”
Scrap Basic White card

The layer of Design A Daydream designer series paper (dsp) was glued to the Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the hexagonal frame in Blackberry Bliss ink onto the scrap Basic White card an added the sentiment in Tahitian Tide ink. This was then die cut using the Beautiful Shapes dies.

The die was then placed on the panel of Basic White card and using a pencil, I drew lightly around the inside. This helps when positioning the stamped images.

Th flowers were stamped first in Polished Pink ink, I always like to stamp the larger images first. The leafy sprig was then stamped in Parakeet Party, the outer image in full strength and the infill image in 2^nd generation ink.

The smaller sprig was stamped in Daffodil Delight ink, the long thin, sprig added in Parakeet Party and finally, the trio of dots in Tahitian Tide. The pencil lines were then erased and the stamped panel added to the Polished Pink layer.

A pretty floral card made using the pretty Vintage Christams stamp set for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Vintage Bottle card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Posted on June 23, 2022July 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we have been given a colour challenge. I have chosen to use one of the sets I pre-ordered from the July – December Mini Catalogue called Vintage Christmas. I do love a set that co-ordinates with something I already have and this set pairs with the Vintage Bottle Punch.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Vintage Bottle card, you will need:

Melon Mambo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 3¾” by 2⅜”
Basic White card – 4” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 1½” by 1½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

I began by stamping the taller bottle with Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card and punching it out using the Vintage Bottle Punch.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using Tahitian Tide ink, I stamped the smaller bottle onto the 4” by 2¾” panel of Basic White card. I placed the punched bottle overlapping the stamped bottle, for placement and stamped the trio of flowers in Melon Mambo ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using Parakeet Party ink, I stamped the single sprig around the flowers. I deliberately didn’t ink up the berries at the base of the sprig. The flower centres were added using the same ink. The tall bottle was then glued to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was then die cut using a Stitched Rectangle Die. The stitched rectangle was then glued to the Starry Sky panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using the trio of flowers, I stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Melon Mambo card base using Melon Mambo ink. At this point I decided I needed more white in the background so I cut the 1½” square of Basic White card on the diagonal and added one triangle to the upper left corner and the other to the lower right corner of the stamped panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

The stamped piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals. The sentiment, from the Cup of Tea stamp set was inked up in Starry Sky ink and stamped onto scrap Basic White card. I then trimmed it out, flagging the ends before I added it to the card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A water-coloured wash card made using the Blessings of Home stamp set for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment was stamped in the same black ink onto the strip of Shimmery White card. I masked off the part of the sentiment I didn’t want. The end was flagged and the sentiment added to the card front with Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive.
