Tulips Fun Fold card or the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on April 9, 2022April 9, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations blog hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. I have used the gorgeous Tulip Dies to make mine.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Tulip fun fold card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at
Pattern Party dsp – 5¾” by 1”
Flirty Flamingo card – 4½” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3”
Flirty Flamingo card – 5⅞” by 1”
So Saffron card – 5⅞” by ⅛”
Flirty Flamingo card – 5¾” by 4”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Pattern Party dsp – 5⅝” by ¼”
Basic White ¼” strip
Scrap So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green & Basic White

I began by running the Thick Basic White card base through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the larger front panel inside the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. I really wanted the front to have a lot of texture and this is a great way of achieving this.

The thicker strip of Pattern Party dsp was glued to the smaller front panel. The Flirty Flamingo strip was added to the embossed card front panel and the thin strip of So Saffron added to soften the edge.

Using the Stitched Rectangle Dies I cut a large rectangle from the Flirty Flamingo panel and a slightly small rectangle from the smaller panel of Basic White. I used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the Basic White panel and adhered the two rectangles together.

I cut lots of Tulip pieces from scrap Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Basic White card and leaves and stems from Granny Apple Green card. The inner Basic White and So Saffron pieces were added to the Flirty Flamingo pieces with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The Flirty Flamingo outer layers were then folded over and held in place with Mini Dimensionals to give a real 3D effect. Gorgeous.

The flowers were then placed with liquid glue onto the inked rectangle and the stems and leaves added. The leaves also had a Mini Dimensional added in the centre so that they weren’t flat to the card. The whole panel was then added to the card front making sure to add my glue only to the right-hand side.

I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green ink onto ¼” strip of Basic White card, trimmed it down with Scissors and added it to the card. A trio of Brushed Brass Butterflies complete the card.

Taking the smallest stamped butterfly, I coloured it in using Magenta Madness Blends Markers.

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape – 5½” by ⅜”

I started by adding the strip of Gorgeous Grape to the top of the embossed piece and this was added to the Thick Whisper White card base

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty floral card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set and the Ornate Layers Dies

Using Gorgeous Grape ink I stamped the sentiment – from the Peaceful Moments stamp set – onto the small Whisper White panel and added it to the Gray Granite rectangle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty floral card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set and the Ornate Layers Dies

Using scrap Whisper White card I stamped the flowers. I used 2^nd generation Highland Heather ink for the solid base images, full strength Highland Heather ink for the next image and Gorgeous Grape ink for the most detailed image. The flowers were then die cut using the Fabulous Flowers Dies.

A gorgeous bunch of flowers card made using the Jar of Flowers stamp set

Ornate Poppy

Posted on May 29, 2020May 21, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is a sweet Ornate Poppy card I made to celebrate the wedding anniversary of my friends Lyndsay and Richard. Lyndsay should recognise the poppy as I made a number of them when I was last with her. They were inspired by a lovely card made by Su Mohr which I found on Pinterest.

To recreate the Ornate Poppy card you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Early Espresso – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Whisper White, Early Espresso & Mossy Meadow

I ran the smaller Early Espresso layer through the Big Shot inside the Ornate Floral Embossing Powder. This folder is gorgeous and gives so much texture to the card.

A pretty poppy themed anniversary card made using Stampin' Up! products

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

I wrapped a piece of the Petal Pink Organdie Stripped Ribbon around the embossed panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape. This panel was glued to the Petal Pink card base using Snail Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

I took the ‘smudge’ stamp, from the Painted Poppies stamp set inked it up with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamped it randomly a scrap piece of Whisper White. This step was repeated using So Saffron ink and Petal Pink ink until the whole layer was covered in ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

Using the Poppy Moments dies I die cut the detailed flower from the stamped panel. I die cut the same image and the full blank flower from Whisper White card stock. I mounted the patterned die cut flower outline onto the White flower blank with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and carefully fitted in the white die cut pieces. Doesn’t the flower look fab……..I love bit of paper piecing. I die cut a flower centre from scrap Early Espresso card and added it to the centre of the flower using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

I punched a leaf from scrap Mossy Meadow card using the Leaf Punch – so sad this is retiring, and added it to the back of the poppy using Snail Adhesive. The poppy was added over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

The sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set, another set I will miss, was stamped using Early Espresso ink, die cut using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I added it to the card front with Snail Adhesive. To complete the card I added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins, yet another thing I will really miss…..

I hope Lyndsay and Richard like the card.
