Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
2022 – 2024 In Color dsp – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Gray Granite card – 4⅜” by 2 ½” – rounded upper left corner

The plant image was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the small panel of Basic White and I added some of the smaller circular dotty images in the same ink.

The sentiment was stamped in the same Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using one of the Beautiful Shapes Dies. I love the embossed edge that this die added.

Striped Romance card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on June 4, 2022May 28, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we a sharing cards made for the men in our lives. I have gone a bit out of the box and made a striped romance card using the Ranunculus Romance stamp set……… not a set I would normally think of for a masculine style card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the striped romance card, you will need:

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Orchid Oasis card – 4⅝” by 3” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4½” by 2⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Starry Sky

The long intricate border image was inked up with Tahitian Tide ink and stamped diagonally onto the smaller layer of Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Ranunculus Romance stamp set used to make a masculine card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

I cleaned the stamp on my Simply Shammy and stamped the image again in Starry Sky ink and once more in Orchid Oasis ink.

I repeated the pattern until the whole panel was covered, cleaning the stamp between each change of colour. The stamped panel was then added to the Orchid Oasis layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Ranunculus Romance stamp set used to make a masculine card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The Tahitian Tide card base looked a little plain so I stamped the image again in Tahitian Tide ink in the upper left and lower right corners before adding the decorative piece on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. I added a scrap piece of Starry night card behind the sentiment and timed it down to size before adding it to the card front.

A Gilded Happiness card for the Adhesives Blog Hop

Posted on June 2, 2022May 24, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Adhesives Blog Hop where we are sharing projects and tips using some of the adhesive options. I am sharing a pretty gilded happiness card using gilding flakes and the Happiness Abounds stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the gilded happiness card, you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Calypso Coral card – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – Rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Basic Gray card – ½” strip
Scrap Basic White card

I placed the smaller panel of Basic White card onto my Silicon Mat and added strips of Tear ‘n Tape Adhesive in the lower left corner. I cut off the excess. Using the Silicon mat means I don’t have to worry about the tape sticking to everything else!!!

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -Gorgeous Gilding Flakes and the Happiness Abounds stamp set used for the Adhesives Blog Hop

The backing paper was removed and I carefully, dunked the sticky panel into my tub of gliding flake. I love the gilding flakes but my goodness you can make a real mess with them if you aren’t careful. I used a Blending Brush to rub away the excess flakes revealing the golden stripes. The panel was then added to the Calypso Coral panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive which gives a little wiggle room to get the layer perfectly positioned. The panel was then added with the same liquid glue to the Petal Pink card front.

I stamped 3 of the flowers and 3 sets of leaves from the Happiness Abounds stamp set in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut them out using the Blossoming Happiness Dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -Gorgeous Gilding Flakes and the Happiness Abounds stamp set used for the Adhesives Blog Hop

The flowers were coloured using Petal Pink and Calypso Coral Blends Pens and the leaves using Old Olive Blends Pens. I used Gray Granite Blends to colour the flower centres.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Gray card, covered with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it with a Heat Tool. I flagged the end with Scissors and added it to the card base with a Dimensional on right and liquid glue on the left.

In Color Smiles card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on May 30, 2022May 20, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are showcasing the new 2022 – 2024 In-colors. I have made a pretty in-color smiles card using the Sending Smiles stamp set,

Colours used in this project are:

To Recreate the in-color smiles card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Basic White card – 3¾” by 1½”

Using my Grid Paper and a ruler I measured down 1¼” and using a pencil drew a line across one of the larger panels of Basic White card. I drew another line about 1 ½” lower. This helped me to arrange my stamping.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

I began by stamping the leafy sprig in Parakeet Party above and below the lines. The Sweet Sorbet flower was stamped next.

The smaller flower in Tahitian Tide ink was used to fill in some of the gaps and the smaller plume added in Orchid Oasis.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

I used Starry Sky ink to add centres to all the flowers. The decorated panel was then glued to the Starry Sky layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the whole panel was added to the Sweet Sorbet card base using the same glue. I used a clean rubber to erase the pencil lines.

The larger part of the sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink and the smaller sentiment added using Sweet Sorbet………I messed this up and ended up re-stamping it onto scarp Basic white and die cutting it out using one of the labels from the co-ordinating Sending Dies. I added this over the badly stamped words using liquid adhesive. This piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

I glued the panels of the gorgeous, Hues of Happiness dsp to the larger Melon Mambo panel.

The panel was then folded and burnished on the score lines. Beginning with the largest panel on your right, fold upwards to create a valley fold. The next fold is a mountain fold, followed by a valley fold and finally, a mountain fold. Burnish all the score lines with a Bone Folder.

I die cut some of the pretty flowers and leaves from the Hues of Happiness dsp using the Blossoming Happiness Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The flowers were used to decorate the three Basic White panels.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful fun fold card made using the Happiness Abounds stamp set, Blossomng Happiness Dies and Hues of Happiness dsp for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto one of the panels and a flower and leaf combo were added to the bottom of the panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This panel was placed, using the same adhesive in the centre of the largest panel.

The two remaining Basic White panels were adhered to the smaller panel of Melon Mambo which was folded on the central score line.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful fun fold card made using the Happiness Abounds stamp set, Blossomng Happiness Dies and Hues of Happiness dsp for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

I applied Tear and Tape to the shorter sides of the smaller Melon Mambo piece, placed the piece over the Basic White panel on the back panel and adhered the front of the smaller Melon Mambo piece to the folded front panel. I repeat this step when adhering the back piece.

Glossy Dots were added to decorate the card.

I hope my Mum will like the card.
