Gold Flecked Seashells

Posted on March 2, 2021February 28, 2021 by Mo Rootes

I have been playing with the gorgeous Sand & Sea Suite today and Oh My Goodness it is stunning: I especially love the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder which gives the most amazing texture.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the seashells card, you will need:

Misty Moonlight – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Very Vanilla – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
So Saffron – 5½” by 3¾”– rounded upper left corner
So Saffron – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner – inside
Very Vanilla – 5½” by 3¾”– rounded upper left corner
Scrap Very Vanilla & Balmy Blue

I used a Stampin’ Spritzer filled with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and a pea-sized blob of Frost White Shimmer Paint to spray the smaller So Saffron panel. I left it to one side to dry, so sparkly……

When the panel was dry, I ran it through my Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder.

I gently rubbed my Versamark ink pad over the top of embossed panel, covered the panel with Heat & Stick Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I covered the layer with Gold Gilding Flakes, rubbed off the excess and used one of the Blending Brushes to burnish. I wrapped some Lace Trim around it the panel and used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to add the embossed panel to the larger Very Vanilla panel. The whole piece was added to the Misty Moonlight card base using Dimensionals.

I stamped both types of fronds using Night of Navy or Balmy Blue ink and the starfish in Night of Navy ink, all on scrap Very Vanilla card. I stamped the small clam in Balmy Blue ink on scrap Balmy Blue card. I used my Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to draw some lines on the clam shell, let it dry until tacky then rubbed on some Gold Gilding Flakes.

A gorgeous 75th waterfall birthday card for my aunt made in bright summery colours using Stampin' Up! products

Special Waterfall Birthday Card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is Fun Folds. So with that in mind, I absolutely have to share with you the waterfall birthday card I have made for my Aunts special birthday tomorrow. This card was made using bright spring colours and flowers which my aunt loves.

Colours Used in this project are:

To recreate the Waterfall birthday card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Magenta Madness – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Magenta Madness – 4⅛” by 1”
Flowers For Every Season dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Flirty Flamingo – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White & Magenta Madness

I began by gluing the Flowers For Every Season dsp to the Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Magenta Madness card about 2 ¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus and this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Magenta Madness into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch; it is wider than the opening so is a bit of a fiddle. Push it right to the end then punch. Pull it out and trim off the extra piece on each side.

Fold on all the score lines, slip the punched scalloped end of the Magenta Madness under the strip of card you have just glued across the card. The scored part of the card will then be on top of the band. Using strong adhesive glue along the top of the scored panel – face down – adhere the piece to the bottom end of the band. This forms the waterfall mechanism.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp some of the sentiments from the You Are Amazing, Approaching Perfection & Good Morning Magnolia stamp sets on to the small panels of Basic White card. Other sentiments were masked and inked up using Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

The sentiment panels were added to the Coloured panels using with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a selection of flowers from the All Things Fabulous stamp set. For the larger flower I used 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd generation Magenta Madness. For the smaller flowers I used 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight and Bumblebee, Magenta Madness in 1^st and 2^nd generation and Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade. The leaves were stamped in Just Jade ink. These were all cut out using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machune. The flowers and leaves were added to the sentiment panels with liquid glue.

I added a length of White Ribbon from my stash to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and tied it on with a piece of the Snail Mail Twine. I finished by adding some Gold Glitters Dot to each panel. I added a tiny Magenta Madness dragonfly punched out using the Dragonfly Punch to the front panel.

The panels were then added to the Pool Party card front using Dimensionals, leaving a gap of about 1” between the two panels. I made sure not to put the Dimensionals too close to the edge of the panels so that I could slide the piece of Flower and Field dsp into the gap gluing it down with the liquid glue and trimming off the excess with Scissors.

Baby Waterfall card

Posted on February 19, 2021February 11, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Here is a sweet waterfall baby card made using the gorgeous Baby Pull Toys stamps set and inspired by a card I saw on Youtube made by US demonstrator Cindy Brumbaugh – I have altered the sizes to fit A4 card.

Colours Used in this project are:

To recreate the Baby Waterfall card you will need:

Pacific Point card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Pacific Point – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Pacific Point – 4⅛” by 1”
Berry Delightful dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Poppy Parade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Night of Navy – 2⅝” by 1⅝”
Bermuda Bay – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”

I began by gluing the Berry Delightful dsp to the Pacific Point card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Pacific Point card about 2 ¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus and this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Pacific Point into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch; it is wider than the opening so is a bit of a fiddle. Push it right to the end then punch. Pull it out and trim off the extra piece on each side.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Fold on all the score lines, slip the punched scalloped end of the Pacific Point under the strip of card you have just glued across the card. The scored part of the card will then be on top of the band. Using strong adhesive glue along the top of the scored panel – face down – adhere the piece to the bottom end of the band. This forms the waterfall mechanism.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the 3 images from the Baby Pull Toys stamp set on to the squares of Basic White card. I stamped sentiments from the same stamp set onto the smallest and largest Basic White panels and adhered these directly, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, to the Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay panels.

I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the sweet little toy images – Gray Granite, Poppy Parade, Just Jade, Daffodil Delight, Cinnamon Cider and Mango Melody. I added a trio of hearts from the same stamp set on the largest Basic White piece and coloured these in using some of the same Blends Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty waterfall card made using the Baby Pull Toys stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

These stamped panels were then stuck onto the coloured panels using liquid glue. I added a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and a 2020-2022 In Colour Dot to the end of each toy to complete the card.

I absolutely love it. So adorable.
