A gorgeous floral watercolour card made using Stampin' Up! products

Watercolour Art

Posted on December 25, 2020January 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Here is a sweet watercolour art floral card made using a lovely new bundle – Art Gallery stamp set and Floral Gallery Dies – which is coming in the January – June 2021 catalogue and will be available from the 5^th January.

To recreate the watercolour art card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Gorgeous Grape – 3⅝” by 2½” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 3¾” by 2⅝” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜ by 3⅝ – Rounded upper right corner
Gorgeous Grape – 4” by ⅜”
Whisper White scrap

I started by stamping the ‘flower centre’ image in Flirty Flamingo ink all over the Flirty Flamingo card base to add a bit of texture to the card.

I flagged the ends of the strip of Gorgeous Grape card and glued it flat onto the card front.

Markers in Flirty Flamingo, Just Jade & Gorgeous Grape were used to colour in the gorgeous stamp from the Art Gallery stamp set. I then took a spritzer filed with water and sprayed the inked up stamp a couple of times. I then stamped the image onto the smaller panel of Whisper White, making sure to leave it on the card stock to let the ink soak in. Don’t you just love the effect this gives?

It took a couple of minutes for the ink to dry before I added the stamped layer to the Gorgeous Grape layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and die cut it out using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Floral Gallery Dies. It was added to the card base on Dimensionals.

The theme for the hop is ‘Thank You’ and I am sure you will find lots of inspiration as you hop along with us

You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the hop list at the bottom of this post so please hop along with us today.

To recreate my Customer Thank You card you, will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Oh So Ombre dsp – 4¾” by 3¼” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White card – 4½” by 3” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner

This month my customer thank you cards feature a couple of sneak peaks showing new product which will be available from the 5^th January 2021 in the January – June 2021 mini catalogue and the January – February 2021 Sale-A-Bration Brochure. My ladies love a sneak peek.

Art Gallery stamp set, Floral Gallery dies and Oh So Ombre dsp used for sneak peek customer thank you cards

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I began by stamping the stem and leaves from the gorgeous new stamp set called Art Gallery stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the texture this gives to the layer.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The stamped and embossed panel was added, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Oh So Ombre dsp – one of the free choices with a £45 order in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I used a piece of the Ornated Garden Ribbon to wrap around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape. Yes, I know the ribbon is Old Olive but it tones so well with the Granny Apple Green ink that I think I can get away with it.. The whole piece was then added to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The flower is a 3-step image and I started by stamping the solid image in Flirty Flamingo ink. I added the more detailed image in Merry Merlot ink and finished with the small, centre in Early Espresso ink. Doesn’t it look fabulous….. I cut is out using the co-ordinating Floral Gallery dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green ink, cut it out with one of the sweet labels from the same die set and added it to the card with liquid adhesive. The pearls were coloured with a Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker and added to the card front to complete the card.

I hope you and my customers like the cards.

Posted on December 13, 2020December 8, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Colour Combo Blog Hop where you will find lots of inspiration using this month’s colours which are Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite & Real Red. Don’t you think this is a really unusual colour combo? If you are starting the hop with me or have joined from Amanda Farlinger’s blog, you are very welcome.

To recreate the colour combo card, you will need:

Gray Granite card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 3⅝” by 1⅛”
Whisper White card – 3⅝” by 1”

Taking one of the Whisper White panels and some Post It Notes I masked off a 1” strip about ⅔ up from the bottom.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

I decided to use the Forever Fern stamp set to make my card and started by inking up the largest leafy image with Gray Granite ink. The image was stamped above and below the masked off strip.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Next, I added the round leafed image using the Real Red ink. I filled in the gaps using the 2 smaller leafy images in Cinnamon Cider ink. I love that we have the same image going in different directions.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

To pull the whole thing together I added a scattering of dots from the same stamp set using Gray Granite ink. The Post It Notes were then removed and the whole layer was added to the Real Red layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the Gray Granite card base using the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set was stamped on the strip of Whisper White in Real Red ink. I decided it looked unfinished so stamped again on either side of the sentiment using the Gray Granite and Cinnamon Cider inks. I liked that much better.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment strip was then added to the Real Red strip using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the card front on Dimensionals. I added a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love these colours together, don’t you?

Joy of Sets Blog Hoo where the theme is Christmas Music. I have chosen In the Bleak Midwinter

In the Bleak Midwinter – Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Posted on December 12, 2020December 12, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me today for the very last Joy of Sets Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas Music’. I chose the carol – ‘In the Bleak Midwinter, frosty winds may moan. Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone’ and chose the Snow Front stamp set to create my snowy/icy scene. If you have hopped over from Gez Carpenter or started with me, you are very welcome.

To recreate the In the Bleak Midwinter card. you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”
Whisper White – 3¾” by 2¾”
Soft Suede – 3” by 1⅜”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I began by randomly stamping the group of trees from the Snow Front stamp set in Balmy Blue ink across the Balmy Blue card front to add a bit of texture. I added the panel of Soft Suede card to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it aside.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

The mountains from the Snow Front stamp set were stamped in 3^rd generation Highland Heather ink for a subtle background.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Using a piece of copy paper, I tore a wavy edge and used one of the new Blending Brushes to add a little Balmy Blue ink onto the stamped piece, creating layers of snow banks.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

The cottage was then stamped in Soft Suede ink. I added a variety of trees from the same stamp set in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation Shaded Spruce ink to add some depth to the image. The icy path was added in Balmy Blue ink and the sweet pair of deer in Soft Suede, aren’t they adorable.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – In the Bleak Midwinter carol inspires an icy Christmas card for the Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Taking a Post It Note I punched out a ¾” circle, added it to the top of the image and used the Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to give the illusion of a winter sky. I added a little Misty Moonlight around the top to give some depth. To add to the illusion of icy conditions I sprayed the stamped panel with Frost White Shimmer Spray.

The finished piece was added to the Shaded Spruce panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I think this is so pretty but if I am honest doesn’t look all that bleak…….. What do you think?

I repeated this step, randomly stamping the image over the Whisper White panel. This gives such a subtle background with a soft shimmer.
