A pretty Christmas card made in non traditional colours

Christmas in July – Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Joy of Sets blog hop where our theme is ‘Christmas in July’. You can never start too early when making your Christmas cards and for the hop I have chosen to use the lovely Peaceful Boughs stamp set and Beautiful Boughs Dies to make my card.

To recreate the Christmas in July card you will need;

Gorgeous Grape card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower left corner
Shaded Spruce – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – Rounded lower left corner
Whisper White 4” by 3”
Scrap Gold Foil

I die cut the largest oval from the smallest panel of Whisper White using the Layering Ovals dies. The oval was placed onto one of the Whisper White panels and held in place with a little temporary adhesive.

I then stamped both the bough images across the top of the Whisper White panel and the oval in Shaded Spruce ink.

The oval was then removed and the boughs were stamped down the sides of the panel. I randomly added the dotty stamp in Pool Party ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Ornate Garden dsp used for a fold over top gift bag for a blog hop challenge

I began by using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the Ornate Garden dsp. The long side was scored at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8” and the short side at 1¾” & 5”.

Using Scissors I cut off the top and bottom small rectangles leaving the central tab. Then I cut up each of the 1¾” rectangles to form tabs for the bottom of the box. The 1” strip of dsp was trimmed off except the last rectangle next to the narrow tab.

The score lines were then folded and burnished. Tear and Tape was then added to the thin side tab and the box was closed. I folded three of the bottom tabs in and added Tear and Tape to the fourth before folding it down and sealing the bottom closed.

The back and front of the bag were then pinched together and the 1” strip folded over to form the closure.

I wrapped the lovely Old Olive Ribbon around the bag and tied a bow towards the top, this will hold the bag closed.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Terracotta Tile ink and cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. It was added to the flap closure, just under the bow with a Glue Dot.

Whale Done used for an underwater thank yu card featuring Stampin' Up! products

Whale Done

Oh my goodness, I love the new Whale Done stamp set and co-ordinating Whale Builder Punch, it is just adorable.

To recreate the Whale card you will need:

Seaside Spray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Night of Navy – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I took one of the Whisper White panels, inked up the ‘hydrangea’ image from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set using Sponge Daubers and Pool Party, Seaside Spray, Balmy Blue and Pear Pizzazz inks. The colours were applied randomly over the surface of the stamp to gi ve a mottled effect. This was stamped full strength and 2nd generation all over the Whisper White panel.

The long fronds of seaweed from the Whale Done stamp set were stamped on the same panel in Garden Green ink. The ‘coral’ image was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink along the bottom of the piece.

I added the groups of fish in Bumblebee ink. The stamped panel was then added to the Night of Navy layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the Seaside Spray card base with the same adhesive.

I stamped the whale in Night of Navy ink on scrap Whisper White card and punched it out using the Whale Builder Punch. The whale was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Whale Done stamp set was stamped onto scrap Whisper White in Garden Green ink. I masked of the words ‘a ton’ with a Post It Note before inking up. I trimmed the sentiment down with scissors and added it with liquid adhesive to the card front.
