Perennial Essence sneak peek

Posted on May 3, 2019May 1, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made using some of the Make & Take supplies from OnStage. I hardly ever get around to making the projects up on the day, usually too busy talking……… When I do get around to making them up I often go rogue and create something different with the supplies we were given. Here is the card made using some of the supplies from the Perennial Essence suite.

Recreating the Perennial Essence dsp card

Blackberry Bliss card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Whisper White cardstock 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded lower left corner
Perennial Essence dsp – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded lower left corner

I trimmed down the designer series paper (dsp) panel from the Make & Take pack to the size I needed, rounded the lower left corner with the Detailed Trio Punch. I adhered the dsp to Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a length of the Polka Dot Tulle around the panel and attached it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then glued to the Blackberry Bliss card base with the liquid adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set it Blackberry Bliss onto the small square of Whisper White cardstock and glued it to the square of Blackberry Bliss cardstock with the liquid adhesive. This piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I die cut 3 flowers from the Well Written dies using my Big Shot and added them to the sentiment panel with Mini Glue Dots and added some Artisan Pearls to the centres of the flowers. A Polka Dot Tulle bow was then added with another Mini Glue Dot.

I have to say this dsp is absolutely stunning, very Monet-esque and the colour palette is gorgeous. I hope you like the card.

The baby wipe technique used to make a floral get well card

Beautiful Promenade/Baby wipe technique reprised

Posted on April 30, 2019April 29, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Here is another card made using the gorgeous Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the same handmade ink pad that I used for the blog hop earlier this week. I couldn’t help but try out another couple of things while the ink was still fresh.

To recreate the Beautiful Promenade card

Crumb Cake card base – 8½” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Gorgeous Grape 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Very Vanilla 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – 1 for the inside and 1 for the outside – rounded upper left corners
Scrap Very Vanilla
Scrap Granny Apple Green

I made my own ink pad by folding a single baby wipe into a square and placing it in an empty clear mount stamp case. I took the Daffodil Delight re-inker and dropped about 12 – 15 drops randomly onto the baby wipe. I repeated this with the Poppy Parade re-inker and finally with Gorgeous Grape re-inker. The dots of ink should spread and merge together with no un-inked areas.

I stamped the outline of the flowers in Poppy Parade ink and Gorgeous Grape ink onto the scrap Very Vanilla cardstock. I inked up the stripey inner portion of the flower on my homemade ink pad and stamped to fill in each flower. The flowers were then die cut using the Beautiful Layers dies and my Big Shot. Using the Leaf Punch I punched some leaves from the Granny Apple Green scrap cardstock.

The flowers were placed on one of the Very Vanilla panels and the leaves were tucked behind the flowers with a dab of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The flowers were then added over the top on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Well Said stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink onto the panel but messed it up and ended up stamping it on a scrap of Very Vanilla and gluing it over the top of the mess. Don’t you hate it when you do that!!!

www.crafty-rootes.com -Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the baby wipe technique part 2

The decorated panel was then added to the Gorgeous Grape panel with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive then glued to the Crumb Cake card base. I added a trio of the Glitter Enamel Dots to complete the card front.

I had an extra stamped and die cut flower which I cut in half and added one half to the inner Very Vanilla panel and the other half to the Very Vanilla envelope.

I really love this technique. Hope you like the card.

To recreate the Beautiful Promenade card you will need;

Poppy Parade card base 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Gorgeous Grape cardstock 5½” by 3 ¾”
Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Vellum 6” by 1½”

I have hardly used this gorgeous stamp set, I am so glad it is carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue. I wanted to try out the baby wipe technique and thought this set might work well with the technique.

I inked the outline flower stamp on my hand made ink pad and randomly stamped the image onto the Very Vanilla panel. I loved the effect of the multicolour flowers. The stamped layer was then added to the Gorgeous Grape panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped the strip of Vellum around the stamped panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was then glued to the Poppy Parade card front.

I die cut the word ‘birthday’ 3 times from scrap Gorgeous Grape cardstock and adhered the words one on top of the other using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive, this gives great dimension to the word.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set used with the Baby Wipe Technique for the April Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I swiped the Embossing Buddy over the vellum then stamped the word ‘wishes’ in Poppy Parade ink covered it with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. The die cut ‘birthday’ was added on top with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used a Mini Glue Dot tucked under the ‘birthday’ to hold the vellum layer down.

I love, love this card, hoping you like it as well.

This whole piece was then attached to the Granny Apple green card base using the same adhesive.

I stamped the hanging baskets from the Hanging Garden stamp set each one below the next in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the following Blends markers to colour in the images – Flirty Flamingo combo, Granny Apple Green combo, Petal Pink combo, Crumb Cake combo and Highland Heather light. I deliberately chose these colours to mimic the colour palette of the dsp.
