A pretty cheerful Spring daisy card made using Stampin' Up! products

Pretty Daisy Lane

Posted on January 3, 2020December 30, 2019 by Mo Rootes

With all the fun and festivities over January always seems such a long month so I thought I would start the year off with a pretty daisy card, so bright and cheerful.

To recreate the pretty Daisy Lane card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Mango Melody – 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Old Olive – 5” by 3¼”
Whisper White 5” by 3 ¼”
Old Olive 3⅝” by ⅜”
Scrap Whisper White

I started by stamping the gorgeous fern image in Old Olive ink randomly onto the larger panel of Whisper White cardstock before adhering the panel to the Mango Melody piece. This whole piece was then glued to the Thick Whisper White card base using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Nested Stitched Dies I die cut die cut a label from the smaller Whisper White panel and the next size up from the Old Olive piece.

I stamped the leaf and stem image onto the stitched Whisper White die cut piece in Old Olive ink. The daisy flower us added using Mango Melody ink and the panel was then mounted on the Old Olive die cut using the same Multipurpose adhesive. The sentiment from the same stamp set was added in Old Olive ink.

The bottom of the die cut piece was cut off using my paper trimmer. This piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Detailed Bands and Band Together

Posted on November 26, 2019November 22, 2019 by Mo Rootes

The card I am sharing today happened by complete chance. I had a piece of cardstock lying on my desk, the negative piece left over when I die cut one of the gorgeous Detailed Bands and I thought I would try to make something using it.

To recreate the Detailed Bands and Band Together card you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White – 4⅛” by 1⅞”
Poppy Parade – 4⅛” by ½” x 2

Using Crumb Cake ink I randomly stamped the large flower onto the Crumb Cake card front.

Using the negative die cut strip as a stencil and a a piece of Sponge I added Petal Pink ink to the smaller piece of Whisper White cardstock.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a pretty celebration card made using the Band Together stamp set and Detailed Bands dies

Leaving the stencil in position I placed the panel into the Stamparatus and positioned the detailed metal die face down on top, I added a second foam piece to raise up the panel. I added some temporary adhesive to the back of the die and closed the hinged panel picking up the die. I inked the die with Poppy Parade ink and stamped it down.

I loved the vintage, shabby chic look. I did stamp the image twice. I removed the panel from the Stamparatus and stamped the sentiment with Poppy Parade in the middle.

The Poppy Parade strips were added to the top and bottom of the inked panel and adhered to the card base using Dimensionals.

I stamped the flower in Poppy Parade ink onto the remaining panel of Whisper White and glued it inside the card. The same image and ink were used to decorate the envelope. A trio of Red Rhinestones were added to the card front to complete the card.

I hope you like it.

Humming Along

Posted on May 12, 2019May 11, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card using the sweet Humming Along stamp set. This is not a set I have but luckily I was over at one of my oldest friend and downline Jo’s house today and she wanted some tips on using Blends pens and this was the perfect set to demonstrate with.

To recreate the Humming Along card you will need;

Crumb Cake card base 8¼” by 5⅞”
Crumb Cake cardstock 5¼” by 3½”
Poppy Parade cardstock 3¾” by 3” – rounded upper right and lower left corners
Thick Very Vanilla cardstock 3⅝” by 2⅞” – rounded upper right and lower left corners
Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside

The lovely flower was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock, personally I find the blends markers blend more smoothly on the Thick cardstock, my first tip. I used the the Dark Real Red and Dark Poppy Parade Blends for the flower. I usually start with the dark colour then blend it out with the lighter colour, going back when it is dry and adding more dark shading as necessary. The leaves were coloured with Dark Granny Apple Green and Light Old Olive. The stamen was coloured with the Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Pineapple Punch.

Lasting Lily

Posted on January 29, 2019January 27, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I have had my first play with the gorgeous new Lasting Lily stamp set. This is one of the Sale-a-Bration choices that you can get for free with a £90 order.

Making the card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜”. I inked up the large lily with the Grapefruit Grove ink and stamped it onto the panel. The smaller lily was stamped in the same way. Next I inked up the stems with Garden Green ink which I stamped off once before stamping it onto the Whisper White panel.

Abstract Impressions for a Double Z Fold card

Posted on September 11, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card I made for a friends special birthday using the Abstract Impressions stamp set. I really love this stamp set, it Is so pretty and extremely versatile.

Making the Abstract Impressions card

I started with 2 pieces of Thick Whisper White cardstock, one measuring 11” by 5½”, the other 9¼” by 4¼”. I scored both of these panels on the long sides at 2¾” by 5½”. I rounded some of the corners of the smaller Thick Whisper White panel with the Detailed Trio Punch. I chose 2 patterns from the gorgeous Garden Impressions 6” x 6” dsp, one piece was cut at 5¼” by 5¼” and 2 pieces at 5¼” by 2½” and glued them to the larger piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Abstract Impressions for a great double Z fold card

I cut 3 pieces of Mint Macaron cardstock, one at 4⅛” by 3½” and two more at 4⅛” by 2⅝”, rounded the same corners and adhered these to the smaller Thick Whisper White cardstock with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I cut 3 panels of Whisper White cardstock, one at 4” by 4” and the other two at 4” by 2½” and stamped them with images from the Abstract Impressions.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Abstract Impressions for a great double Z fold card

I used Mint Macaron ink and Shaded Spruce ink for the leaves and 1^st & 2^nd generation Powder Pink ink, Calypso Coral ink and Melon Mambo ink for the flowers. I love the depth the multiple layer stamping gives to the flowers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Abstract Impressions for a great double Z fold card

I die cut the numbers 6 & 0, three times each from Mint Macaron cardstock using the sadly retired Large Numbers dies and glued them one on top of the other using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive making each number thicker. These were added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto a ¼” strip of Whisper White cardstock and cut the ends into flags. I added the sentiment over the numbers with glue. To finish the card I scattered some Faceted Dots.
