Hydrangea Haven for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on January 23, 2021January 23, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop where our theme is the new January – June and Sale-A-Bration catalogues which have just gone live. So many lovely things in both catalogues and who doesn’t love the opportunity to earn free goodies. I have chosen to use the gorgeous Hydrangea Haven stamp set to work with today.

If you have joined me from the lovely Stacey Marsh, welcome and please continue to hop around the demonstrators and get lots of inspiration.

To recreate Hydrangea Hill card, you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Flirty Flamingo – 4¾” by 2¾” – rounded lower right corner
Fluid 100 Water Color Paper – 4⅝” by 2⅝” – rounded lower right corner
Scrap Just Jade card
Very Vanilla – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower right corner – for the inside

I inked up the pretty hydrangea stamp with Versamark ink and used the Stamparatus to stamp the image onto Fluid 100 Water color paper. I did this twice to ensure that I had a good image on the textured card stock.

The stamped image was then covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool.

Using Flirty Flamingo ink, squeezed into the lid of the ink pad and a Water Painter Brush I painted the flower head. As the color dries and added more in selected areas to deepen some of the flowers. I then added some Cherry Cobbler ink to selected areas of the flower. I used the same technique to add Just Jade ink to the stem and leaves.

Pretty Perennial

Posted on January 1, 2021January 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet pretty perennial, all occasion, floral card made using the new Pretty Perennials stamp set which will be available from the 5^th January 2021.

To recreate the Pretty Perennial card, you will need:

Rococo Rose card base – 8¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner

I started by taking one of the Whisper White panels and stamping the largest flower from the Pretty Perennials stamp set in So Saffron ink. I like to start with the largest flower, it makes it easier to fit in all the other flowers.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty all occasion card made using the Pretty Perennial stamp set and bright summery colours

The next size flower was stamped in Rococo Rose and the smallest flower in Highland Heather. The leaves were stamped in Mint Macaron ink, 1^st and 2^nd generation. I used Soft Suede ink to stamp the centre in the largest flowers and also used it to infill the empty spaces.

A lovely floral gilded art card made using Stampin' Up! product from the new Jan-June 2021 catalogue

Gilded Art for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on December 31, 2020January 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘New Goodies’. I have chosen to make a gilded art card for you. With the January – June 2021 and Sale-A-Bration catalogues coming out on the 5^th January and lots of goodies from my pre-order to play with, I have been spoilt for choice. If you have hopped on from Karen Egan I am sure you loved her project

To recreate the gilded art card, you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I really, really wanted to play with the gilding flakes but didn’t have any Heat & Stick Powder – so I improvised by sticking strips of Tear & Tape along all 4 sides of one of the Whisper White panels. I removed the backing and covered the tape with the flakes, rubbed them onto the tape with my fingers to remove the excess flakes and bring out the shine. I absolutely love the effect.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -Floral Watercolour Art card made using the the Art Gallery stamp set and Floral Gallery dies

Markers in Flirty Flamingo, Just Jade & Gorgeous Grape were used to colour in the gorgeous stamp from the Art Gallery stamp set. I then took a spritzer filed with water and sprayed the inked up stamp a couple of times. I then stamped the image onto the smaller panel of Whisper White, making sure to leave it on the card stock to let the ink soak in. Don’t you just love the effect this gives?

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -Floral Watercolour Art card made using the the Art Gallery stamp set and Floral Gallery dies

Art Gallery stamp set, Floral Gallery dies and Oh So Ombre dsp used for sneak peek customer thank you cards

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I began by stamping the stem and leaves from the gorgeous new stamp set called Art Gallery stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the texture this gives to the layer.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The stamped and embossed panel was added, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Oh So Ombre dsp – one of the free choices with a £45 order in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I used a piece of the Ornated Garden Ribbon to wrap around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape. Yes, I know the ribbon is Old Olive but it tones so well with the Granny Apple Green ink that I think I can get away with it.. The whole piece was then added to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The flower is a 3-step image and I started by stamping the solid image in Flirty Flamingo ink. I added the more detailed image in Merry Merlot ink and finished with the small, centre in Early Espresso ink. Doesn’t it look fabulous….. I cut is out using the co-ordinating Floral Gallery dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.
