A cycle themed birthday card made using the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit and the Sunset Coast stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Happy Retirement Card

Posted on June 7, 2026May 24, 2026 by Mo Rootes

In the UK, due to customs delays we must wait a little longer for our Paper Pumpkin kits to arrive. So today I got out the leftovers from April’s kit and added my own twist to a card by Creative Celsey which I found on Pinterest.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the happy retirement card using the following supplies:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Piece of card 2 – 4⅛” by 3¼”
Piece of card front 3 – 4¼” by 3⅛”
Piece of card 2 – 4” by ½”

I placed the Water Mask onto the front of the Balmy Blue card front and used a Blending Brush to add Balmy Blue ink through the stencil.

I cut down the Misty Moonlight panel to 4⅛” by 3¼” and tore down both edges to expose the white core. The torn piece was then glued to the card front.

The wood grain card base was cut down to 4¼” by 3⅛”. I stamped the rushes with Garden Green ink across the panel and added the piece to the card front. I also stamped the trio of birds with Misty Moonlight ink in the upper left corner. The bicycle was added on Dimensionals.

Posted on June 2, 2026May 24, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing the paper piecing technique. This is one of my favourite techniques which is odd as I am not a big fan of fussy cutting, but it is so effective.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Flowers Fair stamp set used with the Kintsugi Inspiration designer series paper to make a paper pieced card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I used the Soft Sea Foam Blends Pens to colour in all the leaves.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Flowers Fair stamp set used with the Kintsugi Inspiration designer series paper to make a paper pieced card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I selected the two patterns of Kintsugi Inspirations designer series paper from my scraps. Taking one Cloud Cover pattern I cut it into smaller pieces, placed them over the relevant flowers, inked up the stamp and stamped down onto the scraps. The flowers were then fussy cut.

I repeated this step with the Petal Pink dsp and the smaller flowers and fussy cut them out.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Flowers Fair stamp set used with the Kintsugi Inspiration designer series paper to make a paper pieced card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The fussy cut flowers were then placed over the identical flowers on the stamped panel. I lifted some of the larger ones on Dimensionals, the rest were glued into position. The smaller flowers were then added with Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Flowers Fair stamp set used with the Kintsugi Inspiration designer series paper to make a paper pieced card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop
