A pretty birthday card featuring Floating butterflies for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Floating for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo Blog Hop. Our colours this month are Melon Mambo, Bumblebee and Pool Party, such lovely bright cheerful colours. I have chosen to use the Floating and Fluttering stamp set to make my card. Please continue around the hop to see what inspiration the other demos have for us today.

To recreate the floating card, you will need:

Melon Mambo – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Bumblebee – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner x 2 – one for the inside
Whisper White 4” by 3”

Using the fabulous Blending Brushes, I added some Pool Party ink to one of the large Whisper White panels. I added some speckles using a stamp from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set using the same Pool Party ink. This adds some subtle texture to the image.

I used the infill stamps to colour the butterflies, The largest in Melon Mambo, the smaller two in Bumblebee, 1st and 2nd generation ink. I coloured the leaves in using the Pool Party ink. I added them to the card base with Dimensionals.

Something New for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the first Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Something New’. If you have joined me from …. Blog, welcome. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes and I am near Cambridge in the UK. I have chosen to use the adorable Darling Donkeys stamp set to make my card.

To recreate the something new card, you will need:

Gray Granite card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner

To recreate the Most Wonderful Time card, you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Pear Pizzazz – 5¼” by 3½ “

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the 3 strips of the Ornate Garden designer series paper (dsp) to the Pear Pizzazz panel.

You also need to match up your pattern so don’t mix the up!

To recreate the Pretty Perennial card, you will need:

Rococo Rose card base – 8¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Soft Suede – 5½” by 3¾ – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – Rounded upper right corner

I started by taking one of the Whisper White panels and stamping the largest flower from the Pretty Perennials stamp set in So Saffron ink. I like to start with the largest flower, it makes it easier to fit in all the other flowers.

The next size flower was stamped in Rococo Rose and the smallest flower in Highland Heather. The leaves were stamped in Mint Macaron ink, 1st and 2nd generation. I used Soft Suede ink to stamp the centre in the largest flowers and also used it to infill the empty spaces.

A lovely floral gilded art card made using Stampin' Up! product from the new Jan-June 2021 catalogue

Gilded Art for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘New Goodies’. I have chosen to make a gilded art card for you. With the January – June 2021 and Sale-A-Bration catalogues coming out on the 5th January and lots of goodies from my pre-order to play with, I have been spoilt for choice. If you have hopped on from Karen Egan I am sure you loved her project

To recreate the gilded art card, you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I really, really wanted to play with the gilding flakes but didn’t have any Heat & Stick Powder – so I improvised by sticking strips of Tear & Tape along all 4 sides of one of the Whisper White panels. I removed the backing and covered the tape with the flakes, rubbed them onto the tape with my fingers to remove the excess flakes and bring out the shine. I absolutely love the effect.

Joseph's Coat Technique used to make a Fireworks at New Year card for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Fireworks at New Year

Hello and welcome to the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop where our theme is ‘New Year’s Eve Party’, I have used the gorgeous Beauty Abounds stamp set and the Joseph’s Coat technique to suggest a night sky lit up with fireworks at New Year.

To recreate the Fireworks at New Year card, you will need:

Basic Black card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Daffodil Delight – 5½“ by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 3

I used daubers to cover one of the Whisper White panels with splotches of colour using the Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Pacific Point and Just Jade ink pads.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Fireworks at New Year using the Joseph’s Coat Technique for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Next, I randomly stamped the larger bokeh dot image from the Beauty Abounds stamp set across the same panel, rotating the stamp each time. I then covered the panel with Clear Embossing Powder. The embossing powder was the heat et using my Heat Tool.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Fireworks at New Year using the Joseph’s Coat Technique for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

I then used my Memento Tuxedo Black inkpad to swipe across the embossed panel until the whole piece was covered with a heavy layer of black ink………and yes, I did get really, really messy…… Taking a small, damp cloth I wiped each or the embossed images clean of black ink revealing the gorgeous vibrant colours underneath.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Fireworks at New Year using the Joseph’s Coat Technique for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Using the Playful Alphabet Dies I die cut the word HAPPY and the numbers 2021 from Foam Adhesive Sheet. Using washi tape to hold the letters together I die cut the word HAPPY and the year 2021 from the embossed and inked panel.

Each letter or number was then stuck to its foam counterpart. The embossed panel was adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to another of the Whisper White panel. Using a Basic Black Marker I inked around the edges of the panel – in hind sight I would have been better to have used a Basic Black Panel – before adhering it to the Daffodil Delight layer with the liquid glue.

Strawberry Lolly for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampers Showcase blog hop, our last one of 2020 and this month’s theme is ‘Sale-A-Bration’.  I really, really wanted to use the gorgeous Berry Delightful dsp – can’t believe it is a free sale-a-Bration choice along with the co-ordinating stamp set Berry Blessings.

If you have hopped over from Wendy Lee Or you are starting with me, Mo Rootes I hope you will find lots of inspiration on this hop.

To recreate my strawberry lolly card, you will need:

Poppy Parade – 9½” by 4” scored at 4” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5¼” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 3⅞ by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right corner
Berry Delightful dsp – 3¾” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Granny Apple Green – 3” by 3”
Whisper White 3” by 3”
Whisper White 5½” by 1” – scored at 1”
Oh So Ombre dsp – 4¼” by ¾”
Scrap Whisper White

The piece of Berry Delightful dsp reminded me of a picnic blanket my parents had when I was a child, summer days and strawberries…… I can’t wait….

I adhered the dsp to the square panel of Whisper White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the card front.

I took the long thin strip of Whisper White, folded on the 1” score line and glued the 1” square tab to the inside of the card base.  I stamped the strawberry in Poppy Parade ink and the top in Granny Apple Green ink onto the largest panel of Whisper White card and adhered it to the inside of the card to hide the stuck down tab.

I glued down the Oh So Ombre dsp- another free choice in the Sale-A-Bration brochure – to the front of the Whisper White strip using the liquid glue.

Using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the layering Circle Dies I die cut a plain circle from the smallest piece of Whisper White and a scalloped circle from the Granny Apple Green square.  I adhered the Granny Apple Green scalloped circle behind the 1” wide strip using the liquid glue.

I stamped the lolly tick in Crumb Cake ink onto the White Circle and added the lolly in Poppy Parade, love the textured look of these stamps. The stamped circle was then added to the front of the Granny Apple Green scalloped circle using Dimensionals.

I stamped the flower and leaves from the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and added then to the card front on Dimensionals. They were positioned so that they held the circle panel in position.

The sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set was cut with the Messages dies and was added to the card front with glue. I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love it and I hope you do too.

Darling Donkey stamp set by Stampin' Up! - a free choice with a $45 order. It makes cute cards

Donkey

Today I am sharing a cute card made using the Darling Donkey stamp set which is one of the free Sale-A-Bration choices available from the 5th January 2021 with a £45 order.

To recreate the cute Donkey card, you will need:

Pretty Peacock card base 8 ¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
In Good Taste dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Pretty Peacock – 3 ¼” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 3 ¼” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner

I began by running the In Good Taste dsp panel through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Painted Texture embossing folder. I just love the texture this gives. The panel was then glued to the larger Whisper White layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking a length of the lovely Scalloped Linen Ribbon, I cut off the two scalloped edges and wrapped them around the panel adhering them on the back of the panel with Sellotape. The panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock card base using the same liquid glue.
