Posted on April 1, 2021March 28, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Kylie Bertucci’s demonstrator blog hop where our theme this moth is to showcase the gorgeous new ‘Butterfly Brilliance’ bundle. I have used it to make a Magenta Butterflies card. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes in the UK.

Colours Used in this project are:

Basic White

Magenta Madness

To recreate the magenta butterflies’ card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 6” by 4¼”
Basic Black – 6” by 4¼”
Basic White – 4⅛” by 3”
Basic Black – 4 ¼” by 3⅛”

Scrap Basic Black & Magenta Madness

After mounting the Many Messages stamp onto the plate of the Stamparatus, I inked it up with Versamark ink and stamped it down onto the large panel of Basic Black. The image was then covered with White Embossing Powder and Heat set using a Heat Tool. I used the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Messages dies to cut out all the embossed sentiments.

I mounted the large Butterfly Brilliance stamp onto the ‘F’ block and inked it up with Magenta Madness ink. I laid the card front on top of the inked stamp and rubbed all over to transfer the image.

I inked up the same stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped onto the large panel of Basic White. The gorgeous butterflies were then die cut out using the Brilliant Wings Dies.

Taking the smallest stamped butterfly, I coloured it in using Magenta Madness Blends Markers.

The smallest panel of Basic White was run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder and added to the small Basic Black panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the Magenta Madness card front on Dimensionals.

I added my chosen sentiment in to the card front with the liquid glue and added the coloured magenta butterfly.

I die cut some other butterflies from scrap Basic Black and Magenta Madness card using the Brilliant Wings dies. I chose a black detailed butterfly and topped it with a small solid magenta butterfly on top. I added a small solid black butterfly on top of the magenta butterfly.

The large butterfly image was stuck on the plate of my Stamparatus. I inked it up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped onto the smallest piece of Basic White card. I like to use the Stamparatus so that I can stamp the image multiple times to get a really dark impression.

I used the infill stamps to add colour. Largest butterfly in Blushing Bride ink, the smallest butterfly in Highland Heather ink, the medium butterfly in So Saffron ink. All the foliage was stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink.

I inked up the ‘seaweed’ image from the Whale Done stamp set using Pretty Peacock on the bottom and Just Jade ink I stamped down on the blended area. I stamped this multiple times in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation ink and at different levels.

The shoals of fish were added using So Saffron ink. The panel was then added onto one of the large Basic White panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive – roughly in the centre

I took the four panels of card stock measuring 4½” by 3” and cut them into thin strips, wider at one end than the other. Taking the strips, I added them to the 5¼” by 3½” layer of Basic White using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive leaving a small strip of white visible between the strips. I trimmed off any excess when the whole panel was covered.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut a scalloped rectangle from the centre. I cut the largest scalloped rectangle from the same die set from the panel of Misty Moonlight and used my Paper Trimmer to cut out the centre. This was added to the panel with liquid glue.

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the whale to give him a watery look.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful purple butterfly card made using the Butterfly Brilliance stamp et and Brilliant Wings dies

These were randomly adhered with repositionable glue to the strip of Basic White card. I scribbled Purple Posy ink onto a D Block and used a Blending Brush to pick up the ink and blend the ink onto the panel over the butterflies. The butterflies were then removed. I love the soft effect this gives.

A gorgeous water colour Hydrangea bloom featuring the smooched ink technique and the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and Hydrangea Dies by Stampin' Up!

Smooched Hydrangea

Posted on March 21, 2021March 15, 2021 by Mo Rootes

A sweet card featuring a gorgeous smooched Hydrangea made with the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and Hydrangea Dies and some watercolour ink smooching. Love a bit of smooching.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the smooched Hydrangea card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Flirty Flamingo – 5¾” by 3¼” – Rounded lower right corner
Fluid 100 – 5” by 5½” – Cut down to 5” by 3” after inking – Rounded lower right corner -the remnant used to die cut the individual blooms
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” Rounded lower right corner
Scrap Fluid 100 & Soft Sea Foam

I began by taking my large F Block and pressing the Blushing Bride ink pad onto it. I then dabbed Highland Heather ink in random spots on the block. I then used a Spritzer to spray the inked bloc with water. I laid the panel of Fluid 100 water color paper on top of the wet ink and allowed it to soak into the paper. This was then set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I mounted the Hydrangea image onto my Stampartus plate inked it up with Versamark ink, then inked it again with Memento Tuxedo Black ink before stamping it down onto scrap Fluid 100 paper. I used the stamparatus to do this as it can be difficult to get a good, clear stamped image on textured water colour paper and doing it this way would allow me to re-stamp if I needed too. I then covered the stamped image with Clear Embossing Powder and Heat set it using my Heat Tool. This image was then die cut using the Hydrangea Dies. I cut off the bloom using scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I repeated the same process to stamp the image on the dried water coloured panel. The die cut stalk and leaves were then glued to the panel over top of the stamped image.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I die cut the strip of flower blossoms a number of times from the left-over inked water coloured card, used a bone folder to curl the petals. The flowers were then added to the head of the hydrangea with Mini Glue Dots.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

The decorated panel was added to the layer of Flirty Flamingo with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then wrapped some of the lovely Blushing Bride Snail Mail Twine around the panel and tied a bow. The panel was then added to the Soft Sea Foam card base on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink, die cut using the sweet tag from the Hydrangea dies. The tag was added to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot. I used the Flirty Flamingo Blends Markers to colour some Basic Pearls and added them to the centre of each small petal cluster to complete the card.

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

Butterfly Bijou Class in the Mail

Posted on March 19, 2021March 14, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the projects I designed for my April Cass in the Mail using the gorgeous Butterfly Bijou designer Series Paper (dsp). This paper is stunning, I am so sad that it is only available until May or while stocks last.

Each pack contained all the card stock needed to make each card including the pre embossed panel for the two butterfly card, 6 sheets of the Butterfly Bijou dsp – I die cut the butterflies from one of the sheets for those who don’t have the Brilliant Wings dies and I cut the dsp panels for those without a paper trimmer. A strip of Oval Rounds, a gold hoop and a little treat. The ladies provided their own sentiments.

Colours used in this project are:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight layer – 4⅛” by 3⅛”

Butterfly Bijou dsp – 4” by 3”
Basic White – 4⅛” by ½”

www.crafty-rootes.com – Projects made for the Butterfly Bijou Class in the Mail, March 2021

The piece of dsp was glued to the Misty Moonlight panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Bermuda Bay card front on Dimensionals.

A butterfly was added using the liquid glue and the card was decorated with the lovely Oval Rounds.

To recreate the Two Butterfly card, you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”

www.crafty-rootes.com – Projects made for the Butterfly Bijou Class in the Mail, March 2021

The long strip of dsp was glued to the Misty Moonlight card base using the liquid glue

We added the embossed panel to the larger panel of dsp using the same glue. The panel was embossed using the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. The whole piece was then mounted on the Misty Moonlight card base using Dimensionals.

We added the Gold Hoop to the card front using liquid adhesive and the butterflies were added on Dimensionals. The card was decorated with the Oval Rounds

To recreate the Fun Fold Butterfly card, you will:

Calypso Coral card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” & 2”

Strips of Butterfly Bijou dsp – 2 ½” long, various widths
¼” Strip of Butterfly Bijou

www.crafty-rootes.com – Projects made for the Butterfly Bijou Class in the Mail, March 2021

We folded and burnished the card base, the centre panel in half then the other score line back on itself – this makes a Z shape.

The DSP strips were glued to one of the Basic White panels – I alternated butterfly patterns with non-butterfly patterns.

The decorated panel was added to the Misty Moonlight layer and then t the card front, adhering only the left side.

A butterfly was added with liquid glue and decorated with the Oval Rounds.
