I used the tiny splatter image in Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie and Cherry Cobbler ink to add texture to the tree canopy and falling to the ground. The stamped panel was added to the Cherry Cobbler panel. I added a bow made from the Gray Granite Ribbon in the upper right- hand corner securing the ends on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then mounted onto the card front.

Using Versamark ink I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set onto the Misty Moonlight strip, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool. I flagged the end with scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A Halloween scene made using the Life is Beautiful stamp set and some ink blending

I used a blending brush – you could use sponges – to apply ink to the smaller Whisper White panel. I started with Daffodil Delight at the bottom, moved on to Mango Melody then Rich Razzelberry. I finished by adding Misty Moonlight across the top and around the edges to darken in up.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A Halloween scene made using the Life is Beautiful stamp set and some ink blending

The shrubs from the Nature’s Beauty stamp set were added in Memento Tuxedo Black as was the ground from the Life is Beautiful Stamp set. I didn’t have any bats the right size so added the birds from the Sailing Home stamp set in the same ink

The stamped panel was glued to the Mango Melody with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using my lovely Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine I embossed the Basic Black card front using the Old World Paper Embossing Folder. I love this folder……..

Thank you card made using the Rooted in Nature stamp set and Nature's Roots dies by Stampin' Up!

Rooted in Nature with Tree Rings

Posted on June 8, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card I made using the lovely new Rooted In Nature stamp set and the co-ordinating Nature’s Roots dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I inked up the large Tree Rings background stamp with Soft Suede ink, I always find in easier with the larger stamps to lay them face up on my stamping surface before inking them up and laying the cardstock on top. I used Crumb Cake cardstock 4⅜” by 3″ for this card and used a scrap piece of printer paper to lay over the top and rubbed to make sure the ink transfer evenly. I think the result looks great and adds lovely texture to the card. I mounted this panel onto a layer of Soft Suede cardstock 4½” by 3⅛”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

Taking the ‘pine tree’ stamp I placed it on a C block and inked up the tree canopy using my Granny Apple Green ink pad. I inked the trunk of the tree using a Soft Suede Marker Pen and using a Shaded Spruce Marker Pen I coloured in small areas of the tree canopy. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped it down onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3½” by 2½” and die cut it out using the Nature’s Roots Framelit Dies and my Big Shot.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I die cut a Petal Pink circle using the Layering Circle Dies. I added this to the bottom of the stamped panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and trimmed off the excess. I added the off cut piece from the Petal Pink circle to the back of the stamped panel to add a little more interest.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I added this whole panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base (love this colour) using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The tree was then added to the Petal Pink semi-circle on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Abstract Impressions stamp set in Soft Suede ink at the bottom of the card front. I am really happy with the way this card looks. Hope you like it!

Rooted In Nature – Another Sneak Peek

Posted on April 20, 2018April 18, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today I have had my first play with the new Rooted in Nature Stamp set which will be available in my online shop from the 1^st June and I love it. I used it to make a simple thank you card for a friend.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted-in-Nature-by-Stampin’-Up!

I took a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and using Post It tape I masked off a rectangular area to the right of centre. I inked up a wedge of Stampin’ Sponge with Rich Razzelberry ink and applied it to the unmasked rectangle, starting at the bottom and letting the ink fade towards the top. I then peeled off the Post It tape to reveal the inked panel. I love the effect this gives.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted-in-Nature-by-Stampin’-Up!

I inked up the gorgeous tall pine type tree with Early Espresso ink and stamped it partially over the inked rectangle. I love the stark look of this tree, the images are almost photographic. I added this stamped layer to a Thick Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted-in-Nature-by-Stampin’-Up!

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4⅛” by ⅜” using the Early Espresso Ink pad. I added this stamped strip to a strip of Rich Razzelberry cardstock 4⅛” by ½“using Tombow liquid Adhesive and added it to the card front using Tombow.

This is such a simple card but so striking. I absolutely love this tree. Hope you like the card.

Rich Razzelberry Season Like Christmas

Posted on December 8, 2017December 7, 2017 by Mo Rootes

Today I have used the Season Like Christmas stamp set for a quirky last minute seasonal card.

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock panel 4⅛” by 4”. I stamped the ‘solid’ Christmas tree image using Old Olive Ink. I then over stamped it with the more ‘detailed’ tree image in Garden Green ink for a bit of depth. I then stamped the ‘tree trunk’ image in Early Espresso Ink. I love the way these three images work together to give a 3 dimensional look to the tree.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Season Like Christmas stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I added the ‘ground’ using 1^st and 2^nd generation Crumb Cake ink. For a final touch I added the sweet little star from the set in Crushed Curry ink onto the top of the tree.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Season Like Christmas stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I added a ½” strip of Gold Glimmer paper to either side of the stamped panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. Taking a 5⅞” by ¼” strip of Old Olive cardstock and stamped the sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set onto the strip using Old Olive ink. I glued this strip to a card base of Rich Razzelberry cardstock and added the stamped panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
