German/French Inspiration card – World Languages Blog Hop

Posted on February 19, 2024February 10, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the World Languages Blog Hop where we are – not surprisingly – sharing projects featuring a language not our own. Sadly I don’t have an ear for languages, much to my children’s disgust when they had German or French homework. I have chosen to make a card with a German sentiment using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the German Inspirations card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 4⅛” by 3”
Berry Burst card – 4¼” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4⅜” by 3¼”
Scrap Basic Black card

Using Berry Burst ink, I randomly stamped the pretty floral image all over the panel of Basic White card.

I used the Mini Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters I needed from scrap Basic Black card. The word DANKE was added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. If I had had my wits about me I would have added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of the scrap card .

The stamped panel was added to the Berry Burst layer using the same liquid glue.

A length of Black Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape. The whole piece was mounted onto the Basic Black layer with Dimensionals,

3 cards designed for my February 2024 classes using the Trusty Tools stamp set, Trusty Tools die and the Trusty Toolbox dsp by Stampin' Up!

Trusty Tools Classes

Posted on February 18, 2024February 9, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Today, I am sharing the cards I designed for my February Trusty Tools classes. Each of the ladies coming to classes were given a 6” by 6” pack of the Trusty Toolbox dsp to use when making the projects. I love giving dsp samples to my class attendees, especially if we use some of the paper in classes. Many of the ladies only craft when they come to class so I like to give them new techniques and things to try.

Colours in these cards are:

Pop-Up Front Panel card

This card was inspired by Mel Brown of Inspired Crafts

Thick Basic White card base – 10½” by 4” – scored at 5¾”, 6¾”, 8¾” & 9¾”

Trusty Toolbox dsp – 3¾” by 1¾”
Basic White – 3¼” by ¾”

I rubbed my Embossing Buddy over the stamped Basic White panel to remove static and added a pinch of Loose Silver Sequins over the sentiment. I also added a few aqua coloured sequins from my stash. The panel of dsp was then carefully added over the Basic White panel. I pressed firmly to make sure it was well stuck down.

The whole piece was then glued to the Pool Party layer and then to the Pebbled Path card base.
