Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner

Cherry Cobbler 2⅞” by 2⅜” – rounded upper right corner

I ran the large panel of Petal Pink through the Big Shot in the Parisian Flourish Embossing Folder then cut it on the diagonal giving me 2 pieces.

I adhered the embossed piece to the front of the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the stem and leaves in Garden Green ink onto the small panel of Whisper White.

The flowers were inked in petal pink ink and I used a sponge dauber to add some Cherry Cobbler ink around the edges of each flower before stamping them above the leaves.

The stamped piece was added to the Cherry Cobbler layer with the same liquid adhesive and the panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Monochromatic Tropical Chic

Posted on October 30, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I really wanted to make a card using a monochromatic colour scheme and pulled out the Tropical Chic stamp set to make this card. I love this stamp set but it hasn’t had much love lately.

Making the Monochromatic Tropical Chic card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card

I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and stamped 3 of the leaf images from the stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink, Gray Granite ink or Smoky Slate ink. I concentrated the images down the left hand side of the panel overlapping to add some dimension.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card

I wrapped a piece of Black Shimmer Ribbon around the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The layer was then added to a panel of Basic Black cardstock measuring 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive. This was then added to a Gray Granite card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card

The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut using the Layering Oval Dies and my Big Shot. I then die cut a scalloped oval from the same die cut and glued the two layers together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish the card I added some Faceted Dots.

I really like the monochromatic look of this card. I hope you like it.

Beautiful Promenade

Posted on August 26, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Earlier this week we had my husband’s cousin and her partner visiting from Canada and they were fascinated with my Big Shot……… who isn’t!!! I cut a few pieces out using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and Beautiful Layers framelit dies to demonstrate how it worked and decided to use them to make a card today. So this card is for you Helen and T.J.

Making the Beautiful Promenade card

I began by placing the Whisper White die cut doily onto a 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Lifting the doily to one side I stamped the striped flower image twice using 2^nd generation Coastal Cabana ink so that the stamped flowers would be partially covered by the doily. 2^nd generation means inking up your stamp then stamping it onto scrap paper – I use Grid Paper – then stamping again without re-inking onto your project which gives you a lighter shade of the original colour.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin’ Up

At this point I decided that the background was too stark so ran the Soft Sea Foam panel through my Big Shot using the Tufted embossing folder.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I took the flower I had stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock then die cut using my Big Shot and the Beautiful Layers dies. I stamped the striped flower overtop of the die cut image. I then stamped 3 lots of leaves in Gray Granite ink and die cut them out. I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in Gray Granite ink into the centre of the doily and started putting the card together.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the embossed Soft Sea Foam layer to a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5½“ by 3¾” and added this to the Bermuda Bay card base. I added a strip of Gray Granite cardstock 4⅛” by ⅜” to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added the doily on top using tiny pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flower was then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the leaves tucked in behind. To finish the card off I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots.

Such a soft, pretty card. I hope you like it.
