Posted on November 16, 2024November 7, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing Fall/Autumn projects. I am sharing a one sheet wonder created with the Autumn Leaves stamp set.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the Autumn leaves one sheet wonder cards, you will need:

1 A4 sheet of Basic Beige cardstock
4 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I used Basic Beige, Boho Blue, Wild Wheat and Blackberry Bliss
Matting layers – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – I chose 2 in Blackberry Bliss and 2 in Boho Blue
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

I began by stamping the large maple leaf in Wild Wheat ink, keeping the stamping roughly in the figure of a cross.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing colouring techniques. I have chosen to make my card using the Caring Leaves stamp set and ink refills and the baby wipe technique, one of my favourite colouring techniques.

To recreate the caring leaves card, you will need:

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Caring Leaves stamp set used with ink refills and the baby wipe technique to make a get well card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Both solid leafy images were inked up on my homemade ink pad and randomly stamped all over the 4⅞” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Caring Leaves stamp set used with ink refills and the baby wipe technique to make a get well card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The sketchy outer images of each stamp were added over each leaf using Early Espresso ink. The panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel and then to the panel of Gold Foil. The whole piece was adhered to the Garden Green card base.

Using the Greetings of the Season Dies I die cut a label from the strip of Cherry Cobbler card. I ran it through twice as I wanted it shorter with a flagged banner at each end.

A card made for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop using the Rustic Crate stamp set and the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Rustic Crate Fall Fun Fold card – Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Posted on October 16, 2024October 11, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop. I recently watch a Youtube video posted by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner showcasing a pop out window card http://(https://www.youtube.com/live/_uQZ9AN1wTM)which she had designed. I absolutely loved the card and decided to rework it for a standard sized card using A4 cardstock.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the Fall goodies card, you will need:

Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 4”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 5½” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 7⅝” by 5½” – scored at 3¾”
Unbounded Beauty dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5” by 1“scored at ½”,1” and 1½” at each end

The panel of Perennial Lavender dsp was adhered to the 5⅝” by 4” piece of Basic White card which was then adhered to the Pretty Peacock card front.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I selected 2 Deckled Circle Dies and using the larger die I die cut a circle through all 3 layers. I needed to run it backwards and forwards 2 to cut through all the layers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I glued the piece of Unbounded Beauty dsp to the front of the inner Basic White card and adhered the back of the card to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base taking care to stay away from the central fold.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

The small circle was then used to die cut a circle from the square of Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the Autumnal arrangement and the sentiment onto the die cut white circle. I used Washi tape from my stash to mask the words for the sentiment as I wanted then stacked rather than inline.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

The image was coloured using the following Blends Pens – light and dark Pumpkin Pie and light and dark Pretty Peacock for the Pumpkins, light and dark Wild Wheat and light and dark Old Olive for the ears of corn and light and dark Daffodil Delight, light Copper Clay and light and dark Mossy Meadow for the sunflowers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I folded and burnished the scorelines on the 5” by 1“– the 2 centre scorelines were folded back, the next 2 folded forwards and the last 2 folded back.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

The card front was closed, and a little Liquid Adhesive added to the innermost tabs of the folded strip which was then placed in the centre of the die cut hole. I held it in place for a minute or so to make sure it would not move. Adhesive was then added to the raised centre of the strip and the decorated circle added, making sure to leave an equal border all the way around.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I finished the card by adding the trio of Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots. Not sure I have got this card quite right, but I do like it.

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop where we are sharing Autumnal themed projects. I have made my striped Autumnal leaf card using the Autumn Leaves stamp set and dies with the gorgeous Meandering Meadow dsp.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the striped Autumnal leaf card, you will need:

Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Meandering Meadow dsp – strips ¼” or ⅜” wide and long enough to cover the leaf shape, great time to use up scraps.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Autumn Leaves stamp set and Dies used with the Meandering Meadows dsp to make a striped Autumnal Leaf card – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

I placed the negative leaf shaped panel down onto the Thick Basic White card front and lightly drew around the leaf shape with a pencil. This will give me a guide when placing the dsp strips.

I placed the dsp strips down over the pencil drawn leaf shape, moving them around until I got the colour palette I liked. I then glued them into position butted up tightly together. I made sure to cut off the excess as I didn’t want the strips poking out when the top panel was in position.

The Basic White panel with the die cut leaf was placed on top of the card front and using Early Espresso ink I stamped the skeleton leaf with the stalk on the Basic White panel and the veins on the dsp strips.

Autumnal Flowers card – Giving Thanks Blog Hop

Posted on September 18, 2024September 1, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Giving Thanks Blog Hop. There are so many things I am thankful for: my lovely family, my friends, the friendly village I live in and lots more. I have made an Autumnal flowers card for one of my lovely friends using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set and some seasonal colours.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the Autumnal flowers card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Mossy Meadow card

I stamped the cluster of flowers all over the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card in Early Espresso ink. I also stamped the same image in Soft Sea Foam ink onto the upper left and lower right corners of the Soft Sea Foam card front.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Inspirational Sketches stamp set used to make an Autumnal Flowers card for the Giving Thanks Blog Hop

Using Blends Pens I coloured in the images. The large flower was coloured with light and dark Pumpkin Pie with a little dark Cajun Craze. The medium flower was coloured with light and dark Wild Wheat and the final flower with light and dark Cherry Cobbler. The centres were coloured with the darkest natural tones blends or pecan pie blends. The cherry cobbler flower centre was coloured with dark Soft Sea Foam.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Inspirational Sketches stamp set used to make an Autumnal Flowers card for the Giving Thanks Blog Hop

The leaves were coloured in using light and dark Mossy Meadow Blends. Using all the light Soft Sea Foam I coloured in all the remaining white space, it looked too bright against the rich colours of the flowers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Inspirational Sketches stamp set used to make an Autumnal Flowers card for the Giving Thanks Blog Hop

The stamped panel was then glued to the Mossy Meadow layer. A length of Linen Thread was wrapped around the panel, twice before it was adhered to the Soft Sea Foam card front with Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Mossy Meadow card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. Using one of the labels from the Changing Leaves Dies I die cut the sentiment. I ran it through twice as I wanted the label to be shorter. The sentiment was then added to the card front.

The group of toadstools were stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the piece of Basic Beige card measuring 5” by 3“. I used the following Blends Pens to colour in the image – Pretty in Pink, Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green and Crumb Cake. I also used a white gel pen from my stash to add the white dots to the toadstool caps.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Inspirational Sketches stamp set and the Nested Essentials Dies used to make a pretty Autumnal Toadstools card for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

The coloured image was then die cut using the Nested Essentials Dies. I also die cut two slightly larger labels from the panels of Poppy Parade card; one was adhered to the back of the coloured panel.

The 1¼” piece of Early Espresso card with the added Basic Beige and dsp panel was lined up with the bottom edge and sides of the card base, I held it in position with a little removable adhesive from my stash. Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was applied to the back of the die cut and decorated label, on the top and bottom only and the label was added it to top and bottom strips of the card front.

An Autumnal Tree card made for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using the gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up!

Autumnal Tree card – Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on September 14, 2024August 21, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing Spring/Autumn themed projects. I have chosen to make a lovely Autumnal tree card using the Loveliest Tree stamp set and Dies. This card was inspired by a video made by fellow demonstrator Emma Ryder, unfortunately I haven’t been able to find the video again to link it to mine.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the lovely Autumnal tree card:

Mossy Meadow card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Crushed Curry card – 5” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Copper Clay & Mossy Meadow card

I stamped the tree in Early Espresso ink onto the 4¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card and set it aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies used to make an Autumnal Tree card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Using a pair of Paper Scissors, I roughed up the edge of a scrap of Mossy Meadow card allowing it to shred in small pieces. I repeated this with scraps of Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Copper Clay card. All the card dust and small scraps were collected on a sheet of scrap paper.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies used to make an Autumnal Tree card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was then applied to the stamped tree canopy, covering as much of the surface as possible with a thin smear of glue. This gives the tree canopy a great textured look.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies used to make an Autumnal Tree card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I tipped all the paper scraps onto the glue smeared tree canopy, pressing all the pieces down into the glue and gently rubbing and tapping off any excess and applying them to areas not already covered.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies used to make an Autumnal Tree card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Using the dark Mossy Meadow Blends Pen, I coloured in a length of the White Diagonal Striped Ribbon. Being a little impatient I then placed it on the stamped panel forgetting that it takes time for the ribbon to dry. Sadly, the colour seeped into the white card. So I decided to die cut the decorated tree and by doing this all the texture I had achieved was flattened! However, I quite liked the resulting effect so decided to press on.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies used to make an Autumnal Tree card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I cut another panel of Basic White card 4¼” by 3” and wrapped, the now dry piece of ribbon around the it, securing the ribbon on the back with Sellotape and in the centre with a Mini Glue Dot. The die cut tree was then added to the panel on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies used to make an Autumnal Tree card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

From the panel of Crushed Curry card I die cut a rectangle using the Perennial Postage Dies and added this behind the decorated panel. The whole piece was then glued to the Mossy Meadow card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies used to make an Autumnal Tree card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

At this point I decided to stamp my sentiment directly onto the panel!!! What was I thinking! I chose a sentiment, from the Country Birdhouse stamp set then decided to mask some of the words as I only wanted the word ‘hello’. I inked up the sentiment with Mossy Meadow ink, removed the masking paper strip and stamped the word onto the card front and thankfully got away with it……

An Autumnal swap card made for a training event using the Frosted Forest stamp set from Stampin' Up! - Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Frosted Forest Autumnal Swap Cards – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on July 28, 2024July 24, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing the frosted forest Autumnal swaps I designed for our recent training session in Lincoln.

Colours in these cards are:

To recreate the frosted forest Autumnal swaps, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Cherry Cobbler card – 5⅞” by 2”
Pecan Pie card – 5⅞” by ⅛”
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”

I embossed the panel of Cherry Cobbler card using one of the folders from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders selection. This was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

The thin strip of Pecan Pie card was then glued in place butted up against the embossed panel.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Frosted Forset stamp set used to make an autumnal swap for a training event – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Using the Countryside Corner Dies I die cut a label from the 5” by 3 ½” piece of Basic White card. The large tree image was inked up with Copper Clay ink and stamped it onto the die cut label.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Frosted Forest stamp set used to make an autumnal swap for a training event – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

I placed the 1^st mask in position and added Pecan Pie ink using a Sponge Dauber. With the 2^nd mask in position, I randomly added Old Olive, Cajun Craze and Cherry Cobbler ink to the image.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Frosted Forest stamp set used to make an autumnal swap for a training event – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

With the 3^rd mask, I started by adding Copper Enamel Effects using a Palette Knife. I absolutely loved the effect but doing more than 2 or 3 at a time became a pain as the enamel effects started to dry on the mask and became more difficult to clean. So, after a bit of thought I switched plans and started adding Versamark ink with a sponge dauber. I removed the mask, covered the image with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it.

The tree was grounded using an image from the Garden Meadow stamp set and Old Olive ink.
