Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp n’ Hop Blog Hop where this month we have a colour challenge. The colours are Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow and my first thoughts were great colours for a trio of ties masculine card. With this in mind I have chosen to use the Handsomely Suited stamp set.

The Colour Combo used on this project:

To recreate the Trio of Ties card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card Base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Dandy Garden dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Mossy Meadow – 4¼” by 3”
Basic White – 4⅛” by 2⅞”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” for the inside
Scrap Basic White

I glued the Dandy Garden dsp to the larger panel of Basic White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using some of the White Twine from the Snail Mail Twine pack to wrap around the panel, adhering it on the reverse with Sellotape. I used the liquid glue to adhere the panel to the Crumb Cake card base.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink I stamped the ties onto the smallest panel to Basic White. I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the ties – Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow.

The stamped layer was then added with liquid glue to the Mossy Meadow layer. The whole panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I placed the Many Messages stamp into the Stamparatus, inked it up in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped down onto a panel of Basic White. I used the Messages Die and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut out the sentiments. I keep the spare sentiments in a stamp case.

The sentiment was added with a Dimensional on the left and liquid glue on the right. I added a single 2020-2022 In Color Dot to complete the card.

Holiday Mini Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on September 12, 2020September 12, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop where our theme this month is ‘Holiday Mini’. I love this time of year with Autumn and Christmas…… so many lovely things to chose from. If you have hopped on from the lovely Sandra Hertzog, I am sure you loved her project. You are now with Mo Rootes in the UK.

I have chosen to use the In the Pines stamp set to make a fairly simple card.

To recreate the Holiday Mini card you will need:

Pool Party card base – – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso – 5 ¼” by 3 ½”
Whisper White – 5” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scrap Early Espresso

I placed the smaller panel of Whisper White in the Stamparatus, upper right corner and set up the outline of the large pine tree on one of the panels. I stamped the image with the Early Espresso ink on the left, moved along one step and stamped again without re-inking. I inked again with the same ink and repeated both steps to give 4 trees.

I lined up the inner tree image on top of the 1^st stamped tree and picked it up with the back of the plate. I inked it up with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped it onto the first tree then moved along one hinge step to stamp the second tree and repeated the process.

Using a sponge I added Pool Party ink around the tree to give a ‘sky’ and stamped the ground beneath each tree and the tree trunks in Early Espresso ink. The stamped layer was added to the Early Espresso layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a length of Linen Thread around the the panel and tied it in a bow. The panel was then adhered to the Pool Party card base using the liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Early Espresso card stock and heat set with a Heat Tool. The sentiment was trimmed down with scissors and added to the panel with Dimensionals.

Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

Posted on May 8, 2020May 5, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the May Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where our theme is ‘Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 Catalogue’. If you have joined me from the lovely Libby Dyson, I am sure you loved her project.

There are so many lovely things which are retiring that I was spoilt for choice. In fact everything I have used will be retiring from the catalogue with the exception of the Whisper White card stock!

To recreate the Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 Catalogue card you will need:

Grapefruit Grove card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Blueberry Bushel – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside
Blueberry Bushel – 5” by 1⅛”
Whisper White – 5” by 1”

I began by stamping the sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink. I love the size and the font of this Happy Birthday, I will miss it. I placed the stamped sentiment strip at an angle onto one of the larger Whisper White panels and lightly drew down each side in pencil to give me a guide to where I should stamp my flowers.

I removed the sentiment piece and glued it to the thin strip of Blueberry Bushel card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it to one side.

With this type of masked card I also start by stamping the largest images and working may way down to the smallest images which I use to fill in. I used the 5 retiring 2018 – 2020 In Colors to stamp my images – they were stamped in this order Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick, Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel. I used the gorgeous Beautiful Bouquet set for this part of the card. I am so going to miss this set, love all the flowers and the huge number of great sentiments.

The stamped layer was then added to the Blueberry Bushel layer with the same liquid adhesive. The whole panel was then added to the Grapefruit Grove card base with the same glue.

I erased the pencil lines and added the sentiment strip onto the card front using Dimensionals. T complete the card I added a scattering of the pretty Happiness Blooms Enamel dots which are also retiring.

Welcome to the April Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘CASE from Pinterest’. If you have joined me from Annette welcome, I am sure you enjoyed her lovely project.

I have chosen to CASE (copy and selectively edit) a card made by the very talented Su Mohr using the Poppy Moments dies. I hope you and she like it.

To recreate the CASE from Pinterest card you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Flirty Flamingo – 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 3
Scrap Whisper White, Soft Sea Foam & Soft Suede

I began by taking the ‘smudge’ stamp, inking it up with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamping it randomly across one of the Whisper White panels. This step was repeated using So Saffron ink and Petal Pink ink until the whole layer was covered in ink.
