Pinch Topped Bag for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and Welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing packaging ideas. I have a pretty pinch top bag which I have made to hold a Lotus biscuit, my treat for the ladies coming to class this week.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the pinch top bag, you will need:

Basic White card – 2½” by 1½”
Pattern Party dsp – 4⅝” by 4”
Basic White – 3½” by 1¼”

 

Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, I scored the 2½” by 1½” piece of Basic White at ½” on all four sides.

I cut down to form the four tabs and wedged out a little to help the tabs fold in efficiently to give a better finish.

Fold on all the score lines, add strong glue to each tab and fold in to form a 3d base.

Stick Tear ‘n Tape all the way around the outside of the box and as near the bottom as possible. It is really important to use a strong adhesive for this. Also place a strip of Tear ‘n tape along the 4” edge of the dsp on the reverse side

Peel off the adhesive backing: place the edge of the 4⅝” piece of dsp (the edge without the Tear ‘n Tape) against the bottom of the box with the chosen pattern to the outside. I always start in the middle of one of the long sides as you get a better finish to your bag.

Using your fingers work the dsp around the sides of the box pressing it onto the Tear ‘n Tape. Resist the temptation to crease the dsp, you get a better finish. You should have about ½” of an overlap with the adhesive on the inside.

Peel off the backing and adhere the two sides off the dsp together allowing it to bow out a little.

I fed a strip of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon through both holes, pulled the back and front together and tied a bow to close the bag.

I die cut a tag from the remaining piece of Basic White using the Tailor-Made Tag Dies.

The ground was stamped in Sahara Sand ink and the sky in Balmy Blue ink. I added the grasses with Early Espresso ink and stamped the sentiment, from the Hydrangea stamp set in Sahara Sand ink.

A pretty picture made for the Crafty Collaborations Home Decor Blog Hop using the Oceanfront stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Oceanfront Picture for the Crafty Collaborations Home Decor Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Blog Hop where we are share home décor projects. I am sharing a picture made using the gorgeous Oceanfront stamp set, can’t seem to stop using this versatile stamp set, I just love it.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the oceanfront picture, you will need:

Balmy Blue card – 6” by 4” with the inside cut out to give a ½” frame all the way around
Basic White card – 6” by 4”
Picture Frame – 6” by 4” – mine came from Tesco’s

 

I punched a ¾” circle from a Post It Note and placed it towards the top of the Basic White panel. The sky was then stamped overtop with Balmy Blue ink. It came up quite dark as I had just re-inked the inkpad but I quite liked it. I think it gives the picture a moodier look.

I added the ground and boulders using 1st and 2nd generation Crumb Cake ink and used the dotty stamp to add more texture.

The reeds were added in Garden Green ink and the grasses in Soft Suede. The birds in flight were stamped in Basic Gray ink.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a pretty poinsettia Christmas tree bauble on a rustic wood slice.

Tree Baubles for the December 2021 Class

Posted on by

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A clean and simple snowflake tree ornament made using the So Many Snowflake dies by Stampin' Up!

Snowflake Tree Ornament

Posted on by

Welcome to the November 2020 Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop. Our theme this month is ‘Christmas Tree Bauble’ and I have used the gorgeous So Many Snowflakes Dies to make my simple snowflake tree ornament. If you have started here of hopped over from my crafty friend Susan Simpson, you are very welcome.

To recreate the Snowflake Tree Ornament, you will need:

Magenta Madness card
Gold Foil card

Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut 2 of the medium snowflakes from Gold Foil card and 4 smaller snowflakes from the Magenta Madness card.

I used a rolled up Mini Glue Dot to adhere one of the Gold Foil snowflakes to the Gold Hoop. The second Gold Foil snowflake was added to the back using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to stick the snowflakes together.

The Magenta Madness snowflakes were laid on my grid paper and sprayed with Champagne Shimmer Mist. This was made by pouring 70% alcohol into a Stampin’ Spritzer and adding a pea sized blob of Champagne Shimmer Paint before shaking well and spraying the snowflakes. This gives a lovely shimmer and the alcohol means it dries quickly.

I used rolled up Mini Glue Dots to adhere a pink snowflake either side of the larger gold snowflake. The remaining pink snowflakes were added to the back with the liquid glue.

Gold twine was then added to the gold hoop to hang the ornament and Gold Glitter Dios were added to each snowflake, front and back. Pretty but very simple. I just love these bright pink snowflakes. I hope you like them.

A beautiful wicker 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

3D Poinsettia Wreath- Stampin ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘3D’. If you have hopped over from the lovely Jill Chapman, you are very welcome. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes in the UK. Please continue to hop through to see all the inspiration the other participants have to share.

I have chosen to share the wreath I have made for my lovely Mum who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease and is in a care home. As we are currently in lockdown in an effort to stop the rise of Covid-19, we are unable to visit her. I made her this pretty Poinsettia Wreath for the lovely staff who care for her to hang on her door.

To recreate the 3D Poinsettia Wreath, you will need:

Real Red card stock
Flirty Flamingo card stock
Garden Green stock
Soft Sea Foam card stock
Whisper White card stock
Silver Foil card

Taking the stunning Metallic Mesh Ribbon, I started wrapping it loosely around a pretty wicker wreath bought from a local craft store. I love this ribbon; it is so light and fragile looking but adds such a pop of style.

So pretty I really hope Mum likes it.

A snowy mountain scene stamped using the Mountain Air stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Snowy Mountain for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on by

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK and I am thrilled to be joining the super talented team on this blog hop. Our theme today is ‘Showcasing a project we have been working on’. I have chosen to share a piece of home décor with you; a picture of a snowy mountain scene. I hope you like it.

To recreate the Snowy Mountain picture you will need:

Whisper White card – 8” by 6”
Misty Moonlight card – 8* by 6”
Picture frame for a 7” by 5” photograph

If you have been following my blog you will know that the Mountain Air stamp set is a real favourite of mine and today I have combined it with the In The Pines Stamp set and the sweet cabin from the Snow Front stamp set to create this wintery scene.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Mountain Air stamp set used to make pretty picture featuring a snowy mountain scene

I began with the piece of Whisper White card which I lined up on my Grid Paper. With a T Square Ruler and a pencil I marked out ½” on all 4 sides to form a border. This border will be covered by the mount.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Mountain Air stamp set used to make pretty picture featuring a snowy mountain scene

I inked up the detailed mountain image from the Mountain Air stamp set with Seaside Spray ink and stamped the image across the panel. I reversed the stamp, inked up the back with the same colour, stamped off on my Grid Paper and stamped the 2nd generation, offset, over the mountains.

The row of trees were stamped below the mountains in Shaded Spruce ink. I punched a 1” circle from a Post It note and applied it over the mountains. Using a  blending brush – you could also use a sponge or a sponge dauber instead – and circular movements I appled Balmy Blue ink across the top of the panel to  give the effect of a sky. The circle mask was then removed.

I roughly tore a piece to copy paper to give a wavy edge. Using the blending brush and Pool Party ink I moved around the torn copy paper to give the effect of snow banks.

Placing the copy paper back in position I stamped the sweet cabin from the Snow Front stamp set in Basic Gray ink. I added the ‘path’ image in 2nd generation Basic Gray ink.

I added the row of trees from the In the Pines stamp set in the same way using Early Espresso ink. I added the in-fill stamp in Shaded Spruce ink. The large tree on the left was stamped in Early Espresso and Shaded Spruce.

Using my Paper Trimmer I cut out the middle of the Misty Moonlight panel leaving a 3/4£” border all the way around. This will be the mount for the picture.

I used a simple white photo frame to show off this simple picture.

Holly Box for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on by

It is time for the Stamper’s Showcase blog hop again and this time our topic in ‘gift wrapping’ and I have chosen to make a holly box.  If you  have joined the hop with me, welcome….I am Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. If you have hopped over from Marita you are also very welcome.

To recreate the Holly Box you will need:

Real Red – 8¼” by 7¼”

The stamped panel was then cut into 1⅞” strips. These strips were cut down to 2⅞”. You need 4 pieces 2⅞” by 1⅞” for the panels of the box and 1 piece 1⅞” by 1⅞” for the top of the box.

These panels were adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I die cut another label from Real Red card and cut it apart as shown in the photograph. I adered the pieces to the back of the sentiment with the liquid glue and cut the label down. The label was tucked under the bow and adhered with the liquid glue.

Hopping around the world fold over top gift bag using Ornate Garden dsp

Fold Over Top Gift Bag

Posted on by

Here is a sweet little fold over top gift bag made using the Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper (dsp). You can fit 2 Fererro Roche chocolates in the bag……..yum. This sweet little box is so easy to make and such a handy size. This was made for the Hopping Around the World blog hop where the theme is 3D. If you have hopped over from Rachel Macleod  I am sure you loved her project. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes in the UK.

To recreate the Fold Over Top Gift bag you will need:

Ornate Garden dsp – 8½” by 6”
Scrap Whisper White

I began by using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the Ornate Garden dsp. The long side was scored at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8” and the short side at 1¾” & 5”.

Using Scissors I cut off the top and bottom small rectangles leaving the central tab. Then I cut up each of the 1¾” rectangles to form tabs for the bottom of the box. The 1” strip of dsp was trimmed off except the last rectangle next to the narrow tab.

The score lines were then folded and burnished. Tear and Tape was then added to the thin side tab and the box was closed. I folded three of the bottom tabs in and added Tear and Tape to the fourth before folding it down and sealing the bottom closed.

The back and front of the bag were then pinched together and the 1” strip folded over to form the closure.

I wrapped the lovely Old Olive Ribbon around the bag and tied a bow towards the top, this will hold the bag closed.

I stamped the sentiment from the Lovely You stamp set in Terracotta Tile ink and cut it out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. It was added to the flap closure, just under the bow with a Glue Dot.

A gorgeous rattan Christmas Wreath decorated using lovely boughs cut using the Beautiful Boughs dies by Stampin' Up!

Beautiful Wreath

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the December Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where out theme is – anything but a card – so I have chosen to decorate a wreath using the Beautiful Boughs Dies. If you have joined me from the lovely Sue Allen I am sure you loved her project. You are joining me here in the UK where it is cold but not snowy……yet. My project was inspired by a wreath made by my lovely upline Mikaela Titheridge – to see her original click on this link.

To recreate the Beautiful Wreath you will need;

  • A selection of green card stocks – I chose Mint Macaron, Soft Sea Foam, Shaded Spruce and a little Whisper White.
  • Foil – I chose Gold but Silver, Copper, or some of the gorgeous Noble Peacock foils would also look amazing.
  • Brown card stock – I chose Soft Suede
  • Ratten or Grapevine Wreath, which measures about 12” (30cm) in diameter and is readily available from Hobbycraft in the UK or online.

I began by die cutting multiples of all 3 boughs from the Beautiful Boughs dies set. I cut multiples of the Mint Macaron, Whisper White and Soft Sea Foam boughs and less of the Shaded Spruce as I planned to use the darker green to add a pop of colour.

Using a bone folder I gently curled all the boughs to add some shaping.

Using Mini Glue Dots I began adding the boughs to the wreath. I toyed with using my hot glue gun but I always find I stick myself to everything of I use the gun……….not a pretty sight and actually the Mini Glue Dots worked really well.

I started on the right hand side layering the Mint Macaron, Soft Sea Form and Whisper White boughs one on top of the other changing the angle to make it look as random as possible. I also cut down the boughs as needed to give smaller branches to tuck in. I covered 6” or so of the wreath then repeated the process starting from the left.

Where the 2 sides met I added the bow made from the gorgeous Real Red Ruched Ribbon, again using Mini Glue Dots. I then tucked in the Shaded Spruce boughs filling in any spaces.

The solid pine cones were die cut from the Soft Suede card stock and the Gold Foil detailed pine cones were added on top with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. These were then tucked into the boughs to decorate the wreath.

To complete the wreath I added a scattering of the red Toile Tiding Glitter Enamel Dots to represent berries. Unfortunately in Europe we were unable to get the gorgeous Puff Paint which I would have liked to use to give a snowy effect.

I am really happy with the finished wreath and am delighted at how well the Mini Glue Dots worked for this project. I hope you like it.

A cute poinsetta stamped mini treat box and a hand stamped snowman candle using Stampin' Up! product

Snowman candle for December Classes

Posted on by

Classes this week were so much fun as we were making some of the gorgeous Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes and stamping on candles using the Snowman Season and Cup of Christmas stamp sets. We began by making the cute candle.

To recreate the Snowman candle you will need:

White Tissue Paper
Greaseproof or wax paper
Momento Tuxedo Black Ink
Blends – dark Cherry Cobbler, dark Bermuda bay & dark Pumpkin Pie

Using the Memento ink we stamped the snow man onto the slightly smoother, slightly glossier side of the tissue paper. After I bit of trial and error one of my team members and I noticed that the ink stayed a darker if stamped on the smooth side.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a gorgeous hand stamped candle using the Snowman Seasons stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using Scissors we cut away the excess tissue paper around the image and placed the stamped image, ink side up onto the candle

A long thin piece of greaseproof paper, slightly wider than the candle was wrapped the candle with the excess gathered at the back of the candle to act as a handle.

We used a Heat Tool to set the image into the candle. The trick is to apply the heat quite close – about 2 – 3 inches away from the greaseproof. If you watch carefully you will see the ink darken and the edges of the tissue paper disappear. Then roll the candle from side to side a couple of times on a hard surface to smooth out any lumpy areas then gently peel away the greasproof. If you can still see tissue paper then repeat the heating step. We stamped a sentiment and applied it to the candle in the same way.

Taking the following Blends markers we coloured in the image on the candle – dark Cherry Cobbler, dark Bermuda Bay & dark Pumpkin Pie

To recreate the Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes you will need:

5½” by 5½” piece of Whisper White cardstock x 2
Scrap Whisper White

The ladies die cut the Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes from the Whisper White cardstock panels. The also die cut 2 of the cute tags from the same set of dies.

We stamped the snowflakes from the Snowman Season stamp set randomly over the 4 sides of one of the boxes in Pool party ink. And for the other box we used the small poinsettia image from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Real Red ink stamping once on each panel.

We folded on all the score lines and used a bone folder to curl each of the sides. The ladies then put the boxes together tucking the tags inside for safe keeping to be added to the box after they have filled it.
