The delicate spray of leaves from the Artistic Dies paired with strips of Hand-penned dsp by Stapin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty stripy card made using the Hand-penned designer Series Paper and in intricate die cut spray of leaves

Using my Paper Trimmer I trimmed ½” off the side and added it with liquid glue to the Basic White panel for the inside of the card. I trimmed the excess off with scissors and glued the panel inside the Mint Macaron card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty stripy card made using the Hand-penned designer Series Paper and in intricate die cut spray of leaves

Using the same liquid glue, I added the thin strips of Basic Black card to either side of the striped panel with just a smidgeon showing. The whole piece was then added to the card front with the same glue.

I ran the remaining panel of Basic Black card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the gorgeous intricate leaf die from the Artistic Die set. I used my Take Your Pick Tool with the Die Brush attachment to get all the little pieces out before adding the die cut to the card front using tiny dots of glue.

Shabby Chic Meadow

Posted on May 14, 2021May 10, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made for a recent team challenge where our theme was ‘Shabby Chic’. This is so out of my comfort zone. I like clean and simple cards, bright colours so this topic was enough to bring me out in a rash……..

Colours used in this project are:

Blushing Bride

Crumb Cake

Very Vanilla

To recreate the shabby chic meadow card, you will need:

Blushing Bride card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Crumb Cake – 5½” by 3¾”
Blushing Bride – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Very Vanilla – 5½” by 3¾”
Very Vanilla – 2¼” by 1¾”
Scrap Very Vanilla & Crumb Cake

Using 2^nd generation Blushing Bride ink, I stamped the flower randomly all over the Blushing Bride panel. I added the scripty stamp using 2^nd and 3^rd generation Crumb Cake ink. Whilst I had the ink out I stamped in Crumb Cake ink in opposite corners of the Blushing Bride card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty shabby chic card made using the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Meadow Dies

I ripped down the right side of the stamped panel – quite enjoyed it once I got started…… I inked around the edge of the stamped panel with a Sponge Dauber and Crumb Cake ink. I ripped down the right side of the Crumb Cake panel, stamped down the side with the speckled stamp before inking around the panel using the Dauber and Crumb Cake ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty shabby chic card made using the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Meadow Dies

Using a Bone Folder, I broke down the fibres in the upper left corner of both the Crumb Cake panel and the Blushing Bride panel. This allowed me to pull the layers apart and curl the corner. The layers were then adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty shabby chic card made using the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Meadow Dies

I wrapped some of the gorgeous and sadly retired Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon around the panel before adding the panel to the Blushing Bride card base.

I die cut a Very Vanilla Label from scarp Very Vanilla card using the Tasteful Labels dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Blushing Bride ink. I added the scripty image on the label in 2^nd & 3^rd generation Crumb Cake ink and inked around the edges in Crumb Cake ink and added it over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty shabby chic card made using the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Meadow Dies

Using the Meadow dies I die cut 2 flowers from scrap Very Vanilla card. I stamped the speckled image over the die cut flowers and adhered them to the card front with liquid glue.

To complete the card, I tucked a strip of Lace Trim under the sentiment label and added a trio of Champagne Rhinestones.

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 card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner

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.
