Today I am sharing the project made at this week’s classes using the Daffodil Dies and co-ordinating Daffodil Afternoon dsp. Each person attending class received a 6^ by 6” pack of the Daffodil Afternoon dsp to use for their cards.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A offset slimline card made using the Daffodil Dies and Daffodil Afternoon dsp for my January 2022 classes

We added the folded Very Vanilla card to the Pear Pizzazz panel.

The piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp was added to the front of the Very Vanilla panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We ran the die cut scalloped rectangle through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Greenery Die. This adds texture without fussiness. The rectangle was then added, offset to the card front.

We then die cut the pieces for the daffodil and leaves from scrap Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz card. The leaves and stem were added to to the card front with liquid glue. The pieces of the daffodil were stuck together with liquid glue and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card, we added a bow made from the black Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

After cutting the piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp to the sizes given above, we adhered each piece to the slightly larger Daffodil Delight layer.

These panels were then added t the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Very Vanilla card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. We backed this with a Basic Black punched piece cut in half and added to the back. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

This is such a simple card to put together and is a great way to use dsp.

Strips of dsp card

Very Vanilla card – 5¾” by 2”

We cut ½” strips from our dsp sheets and added them to the Very Vanilla strip with glue. The excess pieces were trimmed off with scissors.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies we die cut the scalloped border on one side of the Pear Pizzazz panel and added the panel of dsp strips with liquid glue.

We placed the piece on the card front for placement before stamping the sentiment in Old Olive ink.

A piece of the black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and the whole panel was then added to the Very Vanilla card front on Dimensionals. A bow made from the same ribbon was added to finish the card.

Vintage Harvest for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on January 11, 2022January 11, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects with a vintage theme. I have to say ‘vintage’ is way out of my comfort zone so this was quite a challenge for me.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the vintage harvest card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Blushing Bride card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede & Early Espresso

Using one of the images from the Natural Textures stamp set, I stamped all over the panel of Blushing Bride in Blushing Bride ink to give a subtle texture. I then tore down the right side of the panel. I used a Dauber to Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the piece.

I tore the edge of the smaller Very Vanilla piece and inked along the torn edge with the same ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I wrapped a length of Lace Trim around the Blushing Bride panel and added it to the Very Vanilla piece. The whole panel was added to the Crumb Cake card base. I inked around that as well with the Crumb Cake ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Using the Harvest Dies, I die cut the stems and flowers from scrap Soft Suede and Early Espresso card. I though the flowerhead was too dark so die cut it again from Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card……….couldn’t make my mind up which I would like better. I used the speckle image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set to stamp on the potential flowerheads with Soft Suede ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The Soft Suede stems were added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Early Espresso stems with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Blushing Bride flowerhead, then decided I liked the Very Vanilla so I added it on top, on Dimensionals, but slightly offset so that you see both. How’s that for indecision……….

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink on scrap Very Vanilla card and die cut using a label from the Harvest dies. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the Sweet Heart dies, I die cut the adorable little envelope from a scrap of the dsp and adhered the sides and bottom together with a Mini Glue Dot. I also die cut a circle, using the Layering Circle dies from the square of Basic White and added the envelope with liquid glue.

Driving By

Posted on January 4, 2022January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

I have been playing with some of the new stamp sets available in the January – June Mini Catalogue and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure and have made a sweet driving by thank you thank using the new Sale-A-Bration stamp set.

Colours used in this project

To recreate the driving by thank you card, you will need:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Fresh Freesia card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Bermuda Bay card

I stamped the campervan in Basic Gray ink across the smaller panel of Basic White card. The cars were added, randomly across the panel in the same ink.

The stamped and coloured panel was added to the Bermuda Bay layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A length of Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the reverse with Sellotape. The panel was then mounted on the Bermuda Bay card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Bermuda Bay on a scrap strip of Basic White card and punched either end using the Lovely Labels Punch. I used the same punch to punch the ends of a slightly larger strip of Bermuda Bay card. The 2 pieces were then adhered together with the same liquid glue. The sentiment was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
