I used the infill stamp to add Blackberry Bliss ink to the largest flower and Cherry Cobbler ink to the smaller flower. I love the watercolor effect of these images.

The leaves were stamped in Soft Succulent ink.

I adhered the stamped layer to the Cherry Cobbler panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and wrapped a length of Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Blackberry Bliss panel using the same glue.

I stamped the sentiment in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the scrap Basic White card and die cut it out with the Layering Circle Dies using the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine. I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from the Soft Succulent scrap card. The circles were then glued together and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are showcasing our favourite bundle.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a pretty batik pattern card using Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies

Batik Pattern

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a quirky batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies. I love the symmetry of the stamps in this set, so pretty.

The colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the pattern batik card, you will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Polished Pink card – 5⅛” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by 2”
Merry Merlot – 3” by 2
Polished Pink – 3” by 2
Basic White – ¼” strip

I began by stamping the outline of the larger shape in Merry Merlot ink randomly all over the 5” by 3⅛” panel of Basic White. The infill image was added in Polished Pink ink and the base part was stamped in Pale Papaya ink. Don’t these colours look lovely together? I used the trio of dotted circles, stamped in Merry Merlot ink to fill in some of the white space.

The stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper by Stampin' Up! and used to make a clever fun fold card

Beauty of the Earth dsp

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a simple but clever card made from the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper. I saw an example of this style of card made by fellow demonstrator Julie Davison and had to try it myself.

Colours used in this project are;

To recreate the Beauty of the Earth card, you will need:

Beauty of the Earth dsp – 12” by 4” – scored at 5 ½” and 11” on the long-side
Bumblebee card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Soft Sea Foam – 3 ¾” by 2 ¼” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Soft Sea Foam. Mossy Meadow & Basic White

I folded and burnished on the 5½” score line and again on the 11” score line, but this time folded it back on itself. I glued the 1” strip down with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. It makes such a nice contrast don’t you think?

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A clever fun fold card made using the stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper

The tree trunk was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto the Basic White panel. I added the tree canopy in Mossy Meadow ink and the more detailed leafy layer in Bumblebee to give a more textured look.

The stamped panel was added to the Bumblebee layer and then to the dsp card front. This serves to give the card some rigidity.

The same tree trunk was stamped again in Soft Suede ink onto the small panel of Soft Sea Foam. I stamped the tree canopy and leaves again in the same way onto scrap Soft Sea Foam and die cut using the Beautiful Tree dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine. The canopy was added to the trunk with the liquid glue. I added a speckle of green spots around the tree image. The panel was added to the card front with Dimensionals.

All Things Fabulous stamp set used to make a pretty floral card inspired by a friends tee shirt

Fabulous Inspiration

Posted on by

I am sharing a pretty card today inspired by a top worn by my friend Becky. I loved the colour combo and design and had to try to make a card using the same idea of flowers and butterflies.

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the fabulous inspiration card, you will need:

Smokey Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 4” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Basic White

Using the group of tiny butterflies/dragonflies, I stamped all over the front of the Smoky Slate card front with Smoky Slate ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

Next, I chose 2 of the flowers from the All Things Fabulous Stamp set. I wanted the larger flower to be yellow and the smaller flower pink. These are both 3 step stamping flowers and I always find these easier to line up if I start with the middle image first.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp se

I began by stamping the middle image of the larger flower in 2nd generation So Saffron ink. I added the first, more solid image in 3rd generation So Saffron ink getting a lighter shade. Lastly, I added the final most detailed image in full strength So Saffron ink. I repeated this for the second flower.

The smaller flower was stamped in exactly the same way using Flirty Flamingo ink.

I inked the leaves in Soft Succulent ink and added some Evening Evergreen ink to the edges of the leaves using the ‘rock & roll’ technique. You take the inked stamp and roll the edges around in the darker ink before stamping.

All the images were then die cut using my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and the Fabulous Florals Dies. I also die cut a label from the small panel of Basic White card using the Tasteful Labels Dies.

The sentiment from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink onto the die cut label and added to the card front on Dimensionals. The flowers and leaves were the arranged around the label and adhered using a combination of Dimensionals and liquid Glue.

I added a trio of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels to finish the card.

I love it. I hope you do as well.

I stamped the beautiful hydrangea flower in Basic Gray ink onto the Shimmery White card.

Using the Fresh Freesia ink and a Water Painter I covered the whole blossom. Next, I added Highland Heather ink to some of the flowers and Gorgeous Grape into to others. Balmy Blue ink was added to fill the gaps.

Peach Blossom for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where our theme is Summertime Florals – I love a floral. I decided to make a peach blossom card using the Sweet as a Peach stamp set, I love the pretty spay of flowers in this stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the peach blossom card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower right corner
Pale Papaya card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded lower right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded lower right corner – one for the outside and one for the inside
Basic White card – 3⅞” by 1”
Pear Pizzazz card – 3⅞” by 1⅛”

Using Post It Tape, I masked off a 1” strip – about 1 ¼” from the top of one of the Basic White panels.

I inked up the trio of flowers from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya ink and added a dab of Polished pink ink to the centre of each flower using a dauber. I repeated this above and below the masked off area. The flower centres were added in Polished Pink ink using one of the smaller flowers.

The leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink. I used the large spray of leaves, only inking up 2 or 3 at a time. I added a few of the tiny pair of leaves in the same ink.

The trio of tiny flowers was stamped in Polished Pink ink to fill in some of the spaces and the image I used as a flower centre was stamped in Pale Papaya ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Pale Papaya card layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive before being added on Dimensionals to the Polished Pink card front.
