The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the saffron roses card, you will need:

Basic Gray card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

The coloured panel of dsp was then glued to the Basic Gray panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the Petal Pink card base using the same glue.

I added a strip of Tear ‘n Tape to the card front and used it to secure a strip of Frayed Ribbon. Another strip of Tear ‘n Tape secured a nest of Gold Elegant Trim.

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Blog Hop where we are share ideas for customer thank you cards. My vintage ranunculus card is made using a rustic colour palette.

I used the same ink to glue the panel to the Crumb Cake card front.

I mounted the ranunculus flower image onto one of the Stamparatus plates. I inked the image up using the Garden Green and Merry Merlot Stamp ‘n Write Markers. I repeated this a couple of times to get the depth of colour I wanted.

The image was then die cut using the Ranunculus Dies.

Making sure the stamped panel was dry I stamped the reedy type image in Versamark ink, randomly over the panel. I covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.

Using the blade of my scissors I roughed up the edges all the way around the panel. I curled the upper left corner using a Bone Folder to break down the fibres of the cardstock. Using a Blending Brush, I added Starry Sky ink all the way around the edge of the panel and used a Starry Sky Blends Pen to add colour all the way around the edges.

Add the strip of Starry Sky card across the centre using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Wrap a piece of Gray Granite Shimmer Ribbon around the panel, securing on the back with Sellotape. Adhere the whole panel to the Gray Granite card base with the same liquid glue.

The Baby Wipe Technique used with the Beautiful Promenade stamp set for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Baby Wipe Technique for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on April 28, 2019April 27, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the April Stampers Showcase blog hop where our theme this month is Spring/Floral. If you have joined me from Mikaela‘s blog then welcome. I have chosen to use the Baby Wipe Technique with the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and some bright, rich colours.

To recreate the Beautiful Promenade card you will need;

Poppy Parade card base 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Gorgeous Grape cardstock 5½” by 3 ¾”
Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Vellum 6” by 1½”
Scrap Gorgeous Grape cardstock for die-cutting
C6 Very Vanilla Envelope

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set used with the Baby Wipe Technique for the April Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I have hardly used this gorgeous stamp set, I am so glad it is carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue. I wanted to try out the baby wipe technique and thought this set might work well with the technique.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set used with the Baby Wipe Technique for the April Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I began by folding a single baby wipe into a square and placing it in an empty clear mount stamp case. I took the Daffodil Delight re-inker and dropped about 12 – 15 drops randomly onto the baby wipe. I repeated this with the Poppy Parade re-inker and finally with Gorgeous Grape re-inker. The dots of ink should spread and merge together with no un-inked areas

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set used with the Baby Wipe Technique for the April Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I inked the outline flower stamp on my hand made ink pad and randomly stamped the image onto the Very Vanilla panel. I loved the effect of the multicolour flowers. The stamped layer was then added to the Gorgeous Grape panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set used with the Baby Wipe Technique for the April Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I wrapped the strip of Vellum around the stamped panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the Poppy Parade card front.

I die cut the word ‘birthday’ 3 times from scrap Gorgeous Grape cardstock and adhered the words one on top of the other using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive, this gives great dimension to the word.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set used with the Baby Wipe Technique for the April Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I swiped the Embossing Buddy over the vellum then stamped the word ‘wishes’ in Poppy Parade ink covered it with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. The die cut ‘birthday’ was added on top with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used a Mini Glue Dot tucked under the ‘birthday’ to hold the vellum layer down.

I love, love this card, hoping you like it as well.

A Valentine card made for my husband using the Rooted In Nature stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Rooted In Nature non-traditional Valentine Card

Posted on February 16, 2019February 16, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the Valentine’s card I made for my husband. It is a non-traditional valentine card as he would hate a lovey dovey, hearts and flowers card. I used the Rooted In Nature stamp set to make a card featuring leaves and nature which he loves.

Making the non-traditional Valentine card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅞” by 2⅛”. I selected a variety of leaves from the Rooted In Nature stamp set and chose a variety of green inks with which to stamp them, starting with the largest images and filling up the space with the smaller leaves. The inks I used were Shaded Spruce, Old olive, Pear Pizzazz and Soft Sea Foam, I deliberately overlapped some of the images to give a fuller look.

www.crafty-rootes.com – the Rooted In Nature stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used for a non-traditional Valentine card

When the ink was dry I rubbed over the panel with my Embossing Buddy before stamping one of the images again in Versamark ink. I covered the panel with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. So pretty….

www.crafty-rootes.com – the Rooted In Nature stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used for a non-traditional Valentine card

I cut a panel of Shaded Spruce at 5⅞” by 2⅜”and adhered it to the back of the stamped and embossed layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I cut a piece of Gold Foil at 5⅞” by ½” and added it to the right hand side of the panel before adhering the whole piece to a Soft Sea Foam card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – the Rooted In Nature stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used for a non-traditional Valentine card

I cut a strip of Vellum 2⅛ by 1” and stamped the word YOU from the Well Said stamp set in Versamark ink, covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. I die cut the word LOVE from a scrap of Shaded Spruce cardstock using the Well Written framelit dies and my Big Shot. I added the die cut to the vellum using tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the vellum panel to the card front with tiny dots of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive hidden behind the words.

I am really happy with this non-traditional Valentine card and I am sure my husband will like it too.
