A lovely jewel toned thank you card made using the Just Because stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Thank you – Just Because

Today I am sharing a sweet thank you card made using the Just Because stamp set. There are so many pretty images in this set, perfect for the beginner crafter.

Making the Just Because thank you card

You will need
Rich Razzelberry card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Mint Macaron cardstock 3½” by 3½”
Whisper White cardstock 3¼” by 3¼”
Whisper White cardstock ⅜” strip for sentiment
Mint Macaron cardstock 5” by ⅜”
DSP – I used the Share What You Love pack
4⅛” by 4” cut on the diagonal
5⅞” by⅜”

I began by using my trimmer to cut a ¼” strip off the card front. I then chose the dsp for the front of the card and for the strip along the cut card front edge and cut these to size.

I adhered the diagonally cut piece of dsp to the thin Mint Macaron strip with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive then added the piece to the Rich Razzelberry card front using the same adhesive.

I stamped the sweet vase of leaves in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel and die cut it out using my Big Shot and the Stitched Shapes dies. I also die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle using the Layering Circle dies and the piece of Mint Macaron cardstock. I glued the 2 layers together with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. They were then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The vase and leaves were coloured in using the Rich Razzelberry Blends combo pack and the Mint Macaron Blends combo pack.

The sentiment was stamped in Mint Macaron ink and then cut down to size using my scissors before adding it with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I still felt the card needed a little something extra so stamped the leaves in the upper left corner.

I used the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to add the inside Whisper White panel and used an off cut of the dsp to decorate the envelope. To finish I added a trio of Faceted Dots to the front of the card.

I hope you like it.

I wrapped a length of Gold Metallic edged Very Vanilla Ribbon around the Very Vanilla panel below the strip of dsp, adhering the ribbon on the back of the panel with Sellotape.

Using scrap Very Vanilla cardstock I stamped the long leafy image in Old Olive ink, the thistle image in Gray Granite ink and the flowers in Mango Melody ink. I took all the images to the Big Shot and die cut them out using the Frosted Bouquet dies.

CAS Colours & Sketches #305 Challenge using the Home to Roost Sale-a-Bration stamp set

Home to Roost for the CAS Colours & Sketches #305

I love a good sketch challenge, don’t you, they really push me out of my comfort zone and make me look at my crafty stash in new ways. Today, I am playing along with the CAS Colours and Sketches #304 challenge. This sketch looks deceptively simple but I found it really hard to create something I liked.

Making the card

I quickly decided that the cute chicken from the Home to Roost stamp set was the image I wanted to use for this sketch. I chose 2 patterns from the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper stack (dsp) as the rustic look of these papers goes so well with this stamp set. I cut one piece of dsp 3” by 3” and the second piece at 2 ½” by 2 ½” and added them to the front of a Thick Very Vanilla card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the chicken in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla 2 ½” by 2 ½” and die cut it using my Big Shot and the Layering Circle Framelits. I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Crumb Cake cardstock.

Using the gorgeous Blends pens in Crumb Cake, Rich Razzelberry and Old Olive I coloured in the chicken. The stamped layer was added to the scalloped circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Early Espresso onto a ⅜” strip of Very Vanilla cardstock and added it to the card front.

I wondered if I should add some bling to the card but I really don’t feel it needs so decided that less is more and left it alone…….so hard to do…..

July Classes featuring the Love What You Do stamp set and Share What You Love dsp by Stampin' Up!

Love What You Do for July Classes

Today I am sharing the projects we made in this month’s classes using the Love What You Do stamp set and Share What You Love designer series paper (dsp).

July Classes featuring the Love What You Do stamp set and Share What You Love dsp by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – Love What You Do and Share What You Love by Stampin’ Up!

Card 1 – scatter of flowers

We started with a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½” and stamped the large watercolor image in 2nd generation Pool Party ink. Second generation is when you ink up a stamp, stamp onto scrap paper then stamp the 2nd generation, or 3rd or 4th generation, onto your project.

I inked up the small flower images in Rich Razzelberry ink and stamped them from the bottom left to the top right of the Pool Party stamped image. Taking a Blender Pen and the Rich Razzelberry ink pad I coloured in the small flowers.

The sentiment from the Hand Delivered stamp set was stamped in Rich Razzelberry ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2” by ⅜” and trimmed a banner end using my Paper Snips. I added the sentiment to slightly larger piece of Rich Razzelberry cardstock and tucked a cut down piece of Pearlized Doily  behind using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This was added to the stamped panel on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The whole panel was then added to a piece of Rich Razzelberry cardstock 5½” by 3” and adhered this panel to a Thick Whisper White card base on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a scrap of Rich Razzelberry and Pool Party cardstock to the lop left hand corner of the stamped panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive after banner ending with paper Snips. Finally I added a small bow made with White and Silver Baker’s Twine.

Card 2 – Embossed background

We took a 5” by 3⅝” panel of Pool Party cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot with the Lovely Floral Embossing folder. This panel was then adhered to the right hand side of the Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking the 3½” by 2¾” panel of Whisper White cardstock we stamped the Watercolor image in 2nd generation pool Party ink in the centre. We inked up the largest flower and stamped it in Rich Razzelberry ink and added the 2 leaves in Pool Party ink. This panel was then added to a layer of Rich Razzelberry cardstock 3⅝” by 2⅞” with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking a small piece of the Share What You Love dsp we flagged one end and adhered it to the embossed Pool Party layer. The stamped panel was then added over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the hand Delivered stamp set was stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White 2½” by ⅜” and added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Card 3 – Thank You card

We again stamped the watercolor image in 2nd generation Pool party ink onto a panel of Whisper White 4” by 2¾” and stamped the flower image overtop in Rich Razzelberry ink. We also stamped the flowers in Rich Razzelberry ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. After colouring the flowers in using the Rich Razzelberry ink pad and Blender Pens we cut them out using paper snips and adhered them to the stamped panel. We added the stamped panel to a piece of Rich Razzelberry cardstock4 ¼” by 2” and set it to one side.

We added a piece of Share What You Love dsp to the front of a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesivebefore adding the stamped panel overtop on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Rich Razzelberry ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock measuring 2” by 1” and added this to the card front using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive and a Stampin’ Dimensional.

The ladies really enjoyed making these cards. I hope you like them.

The gorgeous Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly

A Detailed Dragonfly

Today I have been playing with the gorgeous Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and the stunning Share What You Love Designer Series Paper (dsp).

The gorgeous Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly using Stampin’ Up! product

I began by choosing one of the beautiful patterns from this dsp stack and after a lot of deliberation I went with one of the bolder patterns and cut a piece 5⅜” by 3⅝” using my Paper Trimmer.  I added the dsp to a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5½” by 3¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive before adding the whole panel to a Rich Razzleberry card base using the same glue. I really feel that the Whisper White layer makes the coloured dsp ‘pop’.

I die cut the largest stitched oval from a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies and my Big Shot. I stamped the greeting from the Hand Delivered stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink towards the bottom of the oval. I added the die cut oval to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals,

Taking a piece of Basic Black cardstock and my Big Shot I die cut the intricate dragonfly using the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits dies. I added some Glitter Enamel Dots to the body of the dragonfly and placed the dragonfly onto the oval with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Such a simple but effective card. I hope you like it.
