Let’s Set Sail for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on January 31, 2022January 31, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a colour challenge. The colours we have been given are:

To recreate the Let’s Set Sail card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2¼”
Scrap Basic White card

Using the Tailor-Made Tag Dies I cut a tag from the panel of Basic White card. I stamped the long ‘water’ image at the bottom of the tag in 2^nd generation Coastal Cabana ink.

The ‘sky’ was added with a Blending Brush and the clouds with a Sponge Dauber and a piece of torn copy paper and Coastal Cabana ink. I added birds to the top of the tag using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the parts of the sailboat in Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather ink and punched them out with the Sailboat Builder Punch. This gave me pieces for 3 boats. The boat was added on Mini Dimensionals.

The ‘water’ image was stamped at the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front in 3^rd and 4^th generation Coastal Cabana ink. The birds were stamped again at the top of the card front in the Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Here is a masculine card made for the Inspire. Create challenge #035 using the Well Dressed stamp set. This time it is a colour challenge – Night of Navy, Crumb Cake and a colour of your choice, I chose Balmy Blue.

To recreate the Well Dressed card you will need:

Whisper White – 5¼” by 3½”
Night of Navy – 3½” by 1¾”

Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” for the inside
Scrap Whisper White

I placed the panel of Whisper White – 5¼” by 3½” onto the Stamparatus, lined up the patterned stamp and picked it up with the door. I inked the stamp with Balmy Blue ink, moved the door plate over one slot, inked it up and stamped again repeating this across the panel.

I choose to use the Above the Clouds stamp set for this card and stamped 3 balloons in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the solid fill in balloon image over the top – one in Lovely Lipstick ink , one in Blueberry Bushel ink and the last in Granny Apple Green ink. I stamped the top of the balloons inall three colours on the scrap Whisper White.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Above the Clouds stap set used for the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop colour challenge

The balloons and the tops of the ballons were then punched out using the co-ordinating Hot Air Balloon Punch. I then cut away the top part of the partial balloons, mixed up the colours glued the pieces together with Dimensionals.

The clouds were inked up with Blueberry Bushel ink, stamped off x 2 onto the Grip Paper then stamped randomly onto one of the Whisper White panels.

The balloons were added on to to the cloud stamped layer with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole topper was the glued to the Silver Foil piece.

After rubbing a piece of scrap Blueberry Bushel cardstock with my embossing buddy I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink, covered the ink with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I flagged the end with scissors and added it to the card front.

A lovely floral card for the CAS Colour & Sketches #309 colour challenge using the Painted Seasons stamp set

CAS Colours & Sketches #309 – Painted Seasons

Posted on February 20, 2019February 19, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card made for the CAS Colours and Sketches #309 Challenge. I used the gorgeous Painted Seasons stamp set, can’t seem to get enough of this set at the moment. The challenge this time asked us to create a project using Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and Pear Pizzazz inks.

Making the CAS Colours & Sketches card

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and randomly stamped the 2 flowers, 1 in Daffodil Delight and the other in So Saffron ink. I then stamped 2 of the leaf images in 1^st or 2^nd generation Pear Pizzazz ink. The small cluster of stars were then randomly added in So Saffron ink. Basically I used the stamps to make my own dsp.

www.crafty-rootes.com – the Pianted Seasons stamp set used to make a sweet card for the CAS Colour & Sketches #309 challenge

Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left corner and mounted the panel onto a piece of Basic Gray cardstock with a rounded upper left corner using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using my Bigshot and the Doily Builder dies I cut out the ring doily from Whisper White cardstock. I only wanted the centre piece and added the detailed ring to my stash. I stamped the sentiment from the Forever lovely stamp set onto the centre die cut in Pear Pizzazz ink. I added a portion of one of the large flowers at the bottom of the die cut using Daffodil Delight ink. The piece was then mounted using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, onto a Basic Gray circle, cut using the Layering Circle dies. The sentiment was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The same images were then stamped on the front of a Whisper White Envelope.

Posted on February 14, 2019February 13, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card made using the Hello Cupcake stamp set for the CTD530 colour challenge. This stamp set is so versatile and so easy to use. I love it.

Making the card

I started by stamping the cupcake case in Smoky Slate ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I also stamped the frosting in Berry Burst ink on the same piece of scrap Whisper White. Using my scissors I cut them out – the good news is that on the 1^st March a new set of dies will be available to cut out these images…….hooray……I am not a big fan of fussy cutting. I added the frosting to the cupcake case with a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it to one side.

Today I have been playing along with the Global Design Project (GDP#173) colour challenge which this week features Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron and Petal Pink, all from the Subtles collection of colours. I used the gorgeous Vibrant Vases stamp set to make my card.

Making the card

I began with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3 ¾” by 3”. I inked up the solid vase with So Saffron ink, stamped off once onto my Grid Paper then stamped onto the Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the detailed vase image over the top in full strength So Saffron ink. I love the added dimension you get when you stamp off the solid image.

I chose my sentiment from the vibrant vases stamp set, masked off the word ‘always’ and then inked up the ‘you are loved’ in So Saffron ink and stamped the image at the top of the stitched rectangle. The whole stamped piece was then added to a panel of Petal Pink cardstock measuring 3⅝” by 2¾” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Vibrant Vases stamp set used for the Global Design Project Colour Challenge #173

Taking the small bokeh dot image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set I stamped the dots in a wavy line across the front of a Thick Whisper White card base in all 3 colours. The stamped panel was added to the card front on Stampin Dimensionals and a scattering of Iridescent Sequins added to give a little sparkle.

I have to say that these are not colours I would normally have chosen but I really love this card. I hope you like it.

Posted on January 18, 2019January 27, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am playing along with the CAS Colours and Sketches #304 challenge which this week is a colour challenge.

Making the card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅛” by 3 ¼”. I inked up the double leaf stamp in Crumb Cake ink and stamped it into the lower right corner of the Whisper White panel. I added the larger flower in Real Red ink and stamped a trio of the small flowers in the Balmy Blue ink around the main image. I love the hand embroidered effect these stamps give, they have so much dimension.
