A lovely card made for the Stampin' Up! On Tour Event in April 2021 using the Etched In Nature stamp set

On Tour Swap

Posted on April 23, 2021May 4, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the card I made as my virtual swap for the recent On Tour Demonstrator Training session. As part of the registration the participants were sent a brand-new stamp set called Etched in Nature and we were encouraged to use this set for our virtual swap. Unfortunately, some of the stamp sets turned out to be defective and Stampin’ Up! Being the fabulous company they are replacing all the sets sent out with a set of the demonstrators choice while they work out the problem.

Using my Stamparatus to stamp the image multiple times; I did manage to get an acceptable image.

Colours used in this project are:

Mossy Meadow

Real Red

Basic White

To recreate the Etched In Nature card, you will need:

Mossy Meadow card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Real Red – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Mossy Meadow & Basic White

www.crafty-rootes.com – Etched In Nature stamp set used for my virtual swap for the Stampin’ Up! On Tour event

With the image mounted on the Stamparatus plate I used Mossy Meadow and Real Red Markers to add ink to the stamp. I stamped it on the smaller Basic White panel but didn’t get a good image. So I inked it up again using the same pens and thus time I spritzed it with water in the hope that this would work to spread the ink………. And it worked.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Etched In Nature stamp set used for my virtual swap for the Stampin’ Up! On Tour event

I set the panel aside to dry before adding it to the panel of Real Red with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. When dry I splattered some Mossy Meadow ink onto the panel using the Mossy Meadow Marker.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Etched In Nature stamp set used for my virtual swap for the Stampin’ Up! On Tour event

I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink onto scrap Basic White ink and die cut it out using the Layering Circle dies and die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from scrap Mossy Meadow card. They were glued together with the same liquid glue.

I wrapped a length of Polka Dot Tuile Ribbon around he stamped layer and added the panel to the Mossy Meadow card base.

The sentiment was then added over the ribbon on Dimensionals. To complete the card I added a trio of Red Rhinestones.

Thank you card made using the Rooted in Nature stamp set and Nature's Roots dies by Stampin' Up!

Rooted in Nature with Tree Rings

Posted on June 8, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card I made using the lovely new Rooted In Nature stamp set and the co-ordinating Nature’s Roots dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I inked up the large Tree Rings background stamp with Soft Suede ink, I always find in easier with the larger stamps to lay them face up on my stamping surface before inking them up and laying the cardstock on top. I used Crumb Cake cardstock 4⅜” by 3″ for this card and used a scrap piece of printer paper to lay over the top and rubbed to make sure the ink transfer evenly. I think the result looks great and adds lovely texture to the card. I mounted this panel onto a layer of Soft Suede cardstock 4½” by 3⅛”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

Taking the ‘pine tree’ stamp I placed it on a C block and inked up the tree canopy using my Granny Apple Green ink pad. I inked the trunk of the tree using a Soft Suede Marker Pen and using a Shaded Spruce Marker Pen I coloured in small areas of the tree canopy. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped it down onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3½” by 2½” and die cut it out using the Nature’s Roots Framelit Dies and my Big Shot.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I die cut a Petal Pink circle using the Layering Circle Dies. I added this to the bottom of the stamped panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and trimmed off the excess. I added the off cut piece from the Petal Pink circle to the back of the stamped panel to add a little more interest.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I added this whole panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base (love this colour) using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The tree was then added to the Petal Pink semi-circle on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Abstract Impressions stamp set in Soft Suede ink at the bottom of the card front. I am really happy with the way this card looks. Hope you like it!
