Don’t miss out, check out my online shop as these are only available whilst stocks last and I would hate you to miss out.
For April’s classes we used the gorgeous Petal Palette Stamp Set, Petals & More Dies and one of the Petal Pair Embossing Folders to create 3 summery looking cards including an easel card. The ladies who came loved the set and the cards we made.
Card 1
www.crafty-rootes.com – Petal Palette Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!
I wanted to show the ladies the double layer stamping technique and this stamp set was just perfect. We started with a Thick Whisper Whitecard base and added a panel of Whisper White 4¾” by 3” to the centre with a little temporary adhesive. We inked up the large group of roses using Momento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it in the upper left hand corner making sure to overlap the edge of the layer. The sentiment was stamped in the same ink at the bottom right corner of the Whisper White panel.
We then took the Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil and scribbled colour onto the roses using a Blender Pen to soften and blend the colour. We used the Lemon Lime Twist Watercolor Pencil to add colour to the leaves and added a little depth with the Old Olive Watercolor Pencil. The Blender Pen was used again to mix the colours.
The Whisper White layer was then separated from the card base, the upper right corner rounded with a ½” WRMK Corner Rounder and added to a Basic Black cardstock layer with an identically rounded corner. The panel was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. We then added Basic Rhinestones to add a little sparkle.
Card 2
www.crafty-rootes.com – Petal Palette Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!
We stamped the same rose image onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and coloured it in with the Watercolor Pencils as before. Using the Petals & More dies and the Big Shot we cut out the stamped and coloured image.
Using the Big Shot again we embossed a strip of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2¼” using one of the embossing folders in the Petal Pair set. We wrapped a length of Black Shimmer Ribbon around one edge and used Mini Glue Dots to secure the ribbon on the back. This panel was then added to the front of a Lemon Lime Twist card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The die cut roses were then added to the right side of the card front.
We stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Banners stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it down. We added a scrap strip of Melon Mambo cardstock to the bottom of the sentiment and ticked the end under the flowers and finished with some Basic Rhinestones.
Card 3
www.crafty-rootes.com – Petal Palette Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!
We began by folding and burnishing the Thick Whisper White card base which I had cut at 11⅞” by 4⅛ and scored at 2 15/16” and 5⅞”. We then set this aside.
We stamped the lovely dotted image onto the bottom of a Whisper White panel 4¾“by 3”, about 1” from the bottom using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink stamped off to give a lighter shade. We then added the leaf image in Lemon Lime Twist ink above using both first and second generation ink. I absolutely love this image, so versatile as well.
Onto scrap Whisper White cardstock we stamped the sweet little bird in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and 3 flowers in Melon Mambo ink and die cut them out using the Petals & More dies and the Big Shot. Using the Watercolor Pencils we coloured in the bird………..so cute.
We die cut the label from the Petals & More dies then stamped the sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I find it easier to position the sentiment onto the die cut piece rather than stamping and then die cutting – personal preference. The sentiment was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bird was added with its feet resting on the die cut sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. We added one of the sweet Petal Passion Embellishments to the sentiment strip.
We rounded the upper corners of the stamped Whisper White panel, the Basic Black/Basic Gray panel and the Melon Mambo Panels and glued the 3 together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. We added the whole panel to the card front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive on the lower part only. The die cut flowers were then added to the inside panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals to support the card front when the card is open.
The ladies really enjoyed making these projects. Hope you like them as well.

An Autumnal Colorful Seasons anniversary card made using the Colorful Seasons stamp set. This gorgeous stamp set was out on my desk again today and I used it to make a lovely Anniversary card for my husband.

I wanted to use the solid leaf images from the stamp set and paired them up with gorgeous Autumnal colours. I took the larger ‘maple leaf’ image and stamped it in Crushed Curry ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”, cleaned the stamp on my fabulous Stampin’ Scrub – couldn’t live without this, and stamped it again in 2nd generation Cherry Cobbler ink, Pear Pizzazz ink, 2nd generation Cajun Craze ink and 2nd generation Rich Razzleberry ink. I added the smaller maple leaf image using the same ink colours in either 1st or 2nd generation ink. I added this panel to a layer of Early Espresso cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. This whole piece was then added to an Old Olive card base, again using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the Happy Anniversary from the Number of Years stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2¾” by 2¾” before running it through the Big Shot with a circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I stamped around the edges of the die cut circle using the same images. I die cut an Early Espresso scalloped circle from a 3” x 3” piece of cardstock and the Layering Circle dies and added it to the back with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I added some Fast Fuse to the back of the Early Espresso circle and adhered some messy Copper Metallic Thread. This piece was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I like the card and so did my husband……..hooray.

I have been using the Banners For You stamp set today to make a good luck card for a friend.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock 4 ½” by 3” which I die cut using the Big Shot and the 2nd largest die from the Lots of Labels framelits. I then took 2 of the leaf images from the Banners For You stamp set and the smallest leaf from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and randomly stamped them onto the die cut label using Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler inks. To get a depth of colour I used 1st & 2nd generation stamping. To fill in some of the gaps I used the dotty image from the Banners For You stamp set and Pumpkin Pie ink. I die cut a 2nd label in the same size from Crushed Curry cardstock, cut it across the middle with my Paper Trimmer and glued it to the stamped piece using Tombow Liquid Adhesive with the some of the colour showing at the top and the bottom.

I ran a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” through the Big Shot with the Layered Leaves Textured Embossing Folder before adhering the piece to the front of an Old Olive card base.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I stamped the banner from the Banners For You Stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it out using the Bunch of Banners framelits. I then stamped the greeting from the same stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the die cut banner. I die cut the banner again from a scrap of Old Olive cardstock and glued the 2 together slightly off set. The banner was then added to the stamped label using Stampin’ Dimensionals before the whole piece was added to the card front using Tombow. To finish the card of I added a scattering of Glitter Enamel Dots.
Love the Autumn colours of this card. I hope my friend likes it and that it brings her luck.
