Adhere the stamped layers to the 2” panels of the Berry Burst card, leaving a border.

With Granny Apple Green ink, I stamped the ‘grass’ all along the bottom of the label in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation ink. A Blending Brush and Pool Party ink were used to add colour to the top of the label. The speckles were added to give texture using a stamp from the Country Birdhouse stamp set and the same Pool Party ink.

I added the leaves, from the Heart Shaped stamp set in Granny Apple Green at the top of the panel.

At this point I placed the pieces of dsp onto the card front, moving them until I was happy with the position. I then added the decorated label on top with Dimensionals only on the top and bottom. A piece of White Baker’s Twine was fed through, under the label and secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the card front.

An Autumnal Tree card made for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using the gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up!

Autumnal Tree card – Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing Spring/Autumn themed projects. I have chosen to make a lovely Autumnal tree card using the Loveliest Tree stamp set and Dies. This card was inspired by a video made by fellow demonstrator Emma Ryder, unfortunately I haven’t been able to find the video again to link it to mine.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the lovely Autumnal tree card:

Mossy Meadow card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Crushed Curry card – 5” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Copper Clay & Mossy Meadow card

 

I stamped the tree in Early Espresso ink onto the 4¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card and set it aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies used to make an Autumnal Tree card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Using a pair of Paper Scissors, I roughed up the edge of a scrap of Mossy Meadow card allowing it to shred in small pieces. I repeated this with scraps of Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Copper Clay card. All the card dust and small scraps were collected on a sheet of scrap paper.

Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was then applied to the stamped tree canopy, covering as much of the surface as possible with a thin smear of glue. This gives the tree canopy a great textured look.

I tipped all the paper scraps onto the glue smeared tree canopy, pressing all the pieces down into the glue and gently rubbing and tapping off any excess and applying them to areas not already covered.

Using the dark Mossy Meadow Blends Pen, I coloured in a length of the White Diagonal Striped Ribbon. Being a little impatient I then placed it on the stamped panel forgetting that it takes time for the ribbon to dry. Sadly, the colour seeped into the white card. So I decided to die cut the decorated tree and by doing this all the texture I had achieved was flattened! However, I quite liked the resulting effect so decided to press on.

I cut another panel of Basic White card 4¼” by 3” and wrapped, the now dry piece of ribbon around the it, securing the ribbon on the back with Sellotape and in the centre with a Mini Glue Dot. The die cut tree was then added to the panel on Dimensionals.

From the panel of Crushed Curry card I die cut a rectangle using the Perennial Postage Dies and added this behind the decorated panel. The whole piece was then glued to the Mossy Meadow card base.

At this point I decided to stamp my sentiment directly onto the panel!!! What was I thinking! I chose a sentiment, from the Country Birdhouse stamp set then decided to mask some of the words as I only wanted the word ‘hello’. I inked up the sentiment with Mossy Meadow ink, removed the masking paper strip and stamped the word onto the card front and thankfully got away with it……

A birdhouse window sheet card made for the Stamping With Friends Blog using the Garden Birdhouse Dies from Stampin' Up!

Birdhouse Window Sheet card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing Window Sheet cards. These are such fun to make but it can be tricky to get a clean look without seeing things you want hidden. After a lot of thought I chose the Country Birdhouse Dies to make my card.

Colours in this card are:

 

To recreate the birdhouse window sheet card, you will need:

Window Sheet – 11½” by 4⅛” – scored at 5¾”
Scrap Country Woods dsp, Basic Beige, Calypso Coral, Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green & Early Espresso

 

Onto two Pieces of Country Woods dsp, I stamped the large birdhouse from the Country Birdhouse stamp set and trimmed them out with scissors. I then ran them both through the die cutting machine to cut the hole for the bird.

From scrap Basic Beige and Early Espresso card I die 2 of the roof parts for each birdhouse. The main roof piece of the birdhouses, the bottom pieces, the perches and the two stands were die cut from the scrap Country Woods Paper. These were then glued to each of the birdhouses.

I began by adding the stand to the card front with Mini Glue Dots. The birdhouse was added on top with Mini Glue Dots. I stuck down the curly bits of the stands with a tiny bit of liquid glue.

The second birdhouse and stand were then added to the back of the panel, making sure to line everything up so it couldn’t be seen from the front.

I die cut 2 more birdhouses from Basic Beige card. I stamped a sentiment on one and adhered it to the inside of the card making sure to line it up with the birdhouses on the front panel so it wouldn’t be seen. The second birdhouse was adhered to the back of the card to hide the back of the sentiment piece and to provide additional space for writing a message.

Such a fun card but a nightmare to photograph!

A vintage paintbrush themed card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using the Trusty Tools stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Rustic Tools card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing ‘Vintage’ style projects. I have interpreted this as shabby chic, a style of cardmaking I really struggle with….. I have chosen to use the Trusty Toolbox stamp set to make my rustic tools card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the rustic tools card, you will need:

Copper Clay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Beige card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Basic Beige card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Basic Beige card

 

I began by stamping the outline of 3 paintbrushes in Early Espresso ink onto the smaller panel of Basic Beige card. Colour was added to the handle of each brush and the tip of the bristles using, firstly Wild Wheat ink, then Pecan Pie ink and finally Copper Clay ink. I swiped the matching colour below the bristles using the edge of each ink pad.

Using Blending Brushes I inked, with all three colours, around the edges of the panel. I the tore along the bottom and inked the ragged edge to match. I randomly stamped the dotty image, from the Country Birdhouse stamp set, in all three colours. I used a Bone Folder in the upper left corner to breakdown the fibres and separate the layers of the cardstock. I inked the corner to match. The whole panel was the adhered to one of the larger Basic Beige panels which had the bottom edge torn.

I used the dotty image to stamp along the bottom of the Copper Clay card front, taking the dots a little way up the sides. The stamped and inked panel was then mounted on the Copper Clay card front on Dimensionals.
