A scalloped rectangle was die cut from the 5” by 3½” panel of Basic White card using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Scalloped Contour Dies. I used Post It Notes Ito mask off the stitched lines of the scalloped rectangle ready to stamp my image.

The flowers were coloured using the light & dark Flirty Flamingo Blends Alcohol Markers and the centres were coloured with the light Smoky Slate Blends Alcohol Marker. After the images were stamped, I removed the masks and added the panel to the card front on Dimensionals.

Tree Baubles for the December 2021 Class

Posted on December 17, 2021December 8, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing two pretty baubles designed for my December classes and made using the Poinsettia and Cabin dies.

Coloured we used are:

Poinsettia Bauble

Wood Slice – I got mine here – https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B082HR4RV3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Real Red card – 8¼” by 3¼
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”
Scrap Gold Foil card
Jute Twine

We die cut and embossed the 3 layers of poinsettia petals from the Real Red card using the Poinsettia dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. They were then spayed, using a Spritzer, with a mixture of Frost White Shimmer Paint and Alcohol. They were then set aside to dry. The Frost White Shimmer Paint is sadly retired but you could use Clear Wink of Stella instead.

When they were dry, we curled the petals using a Bone Folder. The layers were then adhered together, offset, with Mini Glue Dots. We added the centre, die cut from Gold Foil card using the same Poinsettia Dies. It was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The completed Poinsettia was then added to the wood slice with a Dimensional.

The holly leaves. 1 large and 2 small, were cut and embossed from the piece of Garden Green card. They were tucked under the poinsettia and glued down with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This beautiful rustic wood and poinsettia Christmas Tree bauble, fun & festive and made using Stampin’ Up! products

We used some rustic jute twine from my stash to make a loop and bow to hang the bauble.

Cabin Bauble

Basic White circle – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Soft Suede – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”

Using a heavy-duty hole punch we punched a hole at the top of the wood circle.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a lovely tree bauble featuring a rustic Christmas cabin in the trees

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

I mounted the Birch background stamp on a Stamparatus plate, I find it easier to handle than the largest block, ink it up with Misty Moonlight ink and stamped it onto the bauble. It was then set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

Placing the Basic White circle on top of the Soft Suede circle I ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the detailed cabin die. We lifted the Basic White layer off the Soft Suede layer, leaving all the bits stuck on the Soft Suede piece. Using a Take Your Pick Tool we carefully lifted off the white scrap leaving the Soft Suede piece intact. The 2 pieces were then stuck together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. We added the cabin to the bauble on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

Using the dark, Soft Suede Blends Marker were coloured in the cabin and added Clear Wink of Stella to the cabin roof and the ground.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

The trees were then die cut from the Garden Green layer using trees from the Cain Dies and tucked around the cabin. Using either liquid glue or Dimensionals. We added a loop of twine to the top to hang the bauble.

These baubles were such fun to make, I hope you like them.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Evergreen Trees stamp set paired with the Natural Textiles stamp set for a pretty Christmas card

I inked the same stamp again with the same ink, stamped off once then stamped onto the strip of Basic White card. I repeated this 3 times covering the whole panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Evergreen Trees stamp set paired with the Natural Textiles stamp set for a pretty Christmas card

Using the tall tree, I stamped in Shaded Spruce onto the bottom of the stamped strip in 1^st and 2^nd generation ink. This step was repeated to fill up the bottom of the panel.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I cut the scalloped border using the Shaded Spruce card and added it behind the stamped layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a piece of Silver Mesh Ribbon around the panel and tied it in a bow, securing the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

The sentiment from the For Unto Us stamp set (so happy this set has returned) was stamped in Versamark ink onto the small piece of Basic Gray card, covered in White Embossing Powder and heat set using a Heat Tool. I used a Tailor-Made Tag Die to cut out the sentiment, I actually shorted the die cut as it was too long, and added it under the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.
