Posted on June 14, 2026June 8, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Here is a sweet card inspired by Wendy Lee of Creativelee Yours – using the pretty Garden Gatherings stamp set and the Beautiful Bokeh dsp.

Colours used in making this card are:

I created the embossed vases card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Vellum – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Beautiful Bokeh dsp – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White -2½” by 2”
Scrap Basic White

Using Versamark ink, I randomly stamped both vases from the garden Gatherings stamp set all over the panel of Vellum. I covered the panel with White Embossing Powder and set it using my heat tool. I added dots to some of the vases using the White Gel Pen.

I die cut a label from the small piece of Basic White card using the Nested Essentials dies and stamped the sentiment, from the Cutest Crew stamp set with Calypso Coral ink.

I adhered the label to the panel of Vellum with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive trapping a strip of retired Calypso Coral Ribbon. More liquid adhesive was added to the back of the vellum panel where it would be hidden by the label and glued it to the panel of dsp. The whole panel was then mounted onto the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.

Distressed Bike Card – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on June 13, 2026June 12, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we have a Tic-Tac-Toe board to inspire us. I have chosen the top line – Distress, Blue, Bike. This was a real challenge as distress and vintage techniques don’t come easily to me. I am more of a clean and simple girl.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the vase of distressed bike card using the following supplies:

Misty Moonlight White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Balmy Blue – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Mixed Up Patterns dsp – 3⅞” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 3⅞” by ½”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅞” by ½”
Basic White – 2” by 1”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Mixed Up Patterns dsp

I randomly stamped the flying bird from the Waterside Retreat stamp set all over the Balmy Blue layer using Balmy Blue ink. I then roughed up the edges of the panel using Scissors and inked around the edges with Misty Moonlight ink and a Blending Brush. I glued it, offset to the Misty Moonlight card front.

Using Garden Green ink, I stamped the smaller clump of grasses onto the piece of Mixed Up Patterns dsp. I then roughed up the edges with my scissors.

I distressed the bottom of the pieces of ½” wide strips of Basic White card and Misty Moonlight card before adding them to the bottom of the piece of dsp. The whole piece was then glued to the card front.

I added the bike – from the Lakeside Retreat Paper Pumpkin Kit on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Banner Sayings stamp set was stamped with Garden Green ink on the small piece of Basic White card and punched it out with the Three Banner Punch before adding it to the card front.

A cluster of ‘pebbles’ from the Lakeside Retreat Pumpkin Kit finished the card.

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 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.
