The sentiment was inked up with Versamark then straight into the Memento Tuxedo Black ink and immediately  stamped onto the strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock – I used the Embossing Buddy on the layer beforehand. The stamped sentiment was then covered with Clear Embossing Powder  and heat set with my Heat Tool. I used the Banner triple Punch to flag both ends and glued the strip to the card front.

Wonderful Moments Bride

Today I am sharing a sweet card I made using the Wonderful Moments stamp set for the upcoming wedding of friends.

Making the Wonderful Moments card

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5¼” by 3½”. I inked up the gorgeous image of the bride using Momento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it on the Whisper White pane. Taking the light and dark Calypso Coral, the light and dark Daffodil Delight & the light and dark Granny Apple Green Blends pens I coloured in the buttons, sash and bouquet of the bride. I used the Ivory Blend for her skin and the light and dark Crumb Cake for her hair.

Swaps for OnStage Telford April 2018

Bubble Over Swaps

I am so excited to be going to OnStage in Telford, UK tomorrow. Looking forward to spending time with my team, catching up with old friends and making new ones and of course SWAPPING!!!! Today I am sharing my swap.

I knew I wanted to use my new Stamparatus and the Bottles and Bubbles dies and Bubble Over stamp set to make my OnStage swaps so began with a scrap panel of Whisper White cardstock.

Template for multiple stamping using the Stamparatus

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over Bundle by Stampin’ Up for OnStage swaps

I started by making a template using a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cutting the large bottle in the middle of the panel using my Big Shot and the Bottles & Bubbles framelit dies. I then die cut a further 64 large bottles from scrap pieces of Whisper White cardstock and set them aside.

I positioned the negative bottle image template onto the Stamparatus on top of the foam panel and inserted the large bottle stamp into the negative space before closing the door to pick up the stamp.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over Bundle by Stampin’ Up for OnStage swaps

I inserted the die cut bottles, one at a time into the negative space inking up the bottle stamp in Always Artichoke ink (perfect colour for a champagne bottle) and closing the panel to stamp onto the die cut bottle.

Template for multiple stamping using the Stamparatus

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over Bundle by Stampin’ Up for OnStage swaps

I absolutely love this technique and it was so much faster doing it this way. Love it! My Always Artichoke ink pad was quite dry and I don’t have the re-inker so I double stamped the first 3 -4 bottles but the more I stamped the more I liked the aged, vintage look the dry ink pad gave so decided not to double stamp the remaining bottles.

Template for multiple stamping using the Stamparatus

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over Bundle by Stampin’ Up for OnStage swaps

I die cut 65 of the large bottle labels from scrap Whisper White cardstock with the Bottles and Bubbles dies and die cut lots of stars using the Mini Treat Bag dies and scraps of Real Red cardstock. I added a star to the centre of each label with Tombow Liquid Adhesive then added the label with the same glue to the front of each bottle.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over Bundle by Stampin’ Up for OnStage swaps

I cut 65 panels of Whisper White 4¾” by 3” and rounded the upper right hand corner with my Envelope Punch Board. I placed the panels onto the Stamparatus platform and laid the sentiment stamp from the Balloon Celebrations stamp set – love the font – onto the panel then picked it up with the right hand panel. I inked up the stamp with Real Red ink and stamped onto each panel in turn. Perfectly positioned!

Next, I laid a bottle into position on the stamped Whisper White panel and stamped the stars from the Confetti Celebration stamp set in Real Red ink, I repeated this step on the other panels. The Whisper White layers were then glued to panels of Real Red cardstock 5” by 3¼” also with the upper right hand corner rounded.

Assembling swaps for OnStage April 2018

I added the die cut bottles on Stampin’ Dimensionals to the stamped panel before adding the whole topper to a Thick Whisper White card base. To finish off I added some Basic Rhinestones to each card.

Dainty floral cake for a congratulations card

Cake Soiree and bunting

I have been playing with the Cake Soiree Stamp Set over the last few days. Such pretty, delicate images in this stamp set which at first glance screamed weddings to me but it can be used for so much more.

To make the card

I started with a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock 4 ¾” by 3” and stamped the intricate floral cake image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink at the bottom. I coloured in the flowers using the Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and the Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. I used the Light & Dark Old Olive Blends to colour in the leaves.

www.crafty-rootes.com- Cake Soiree by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the ‘bunting’ and the sentiment from the In The Trees stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink in the upper right hand corner of the Very Vanilla panel and coloured the bunting in using the Light & Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends and the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Pens.

I rounded the upper left corner using the WRMK Corner Rounder and added it to a layer of Daffodil Delight cardstock, also with a rounded corner using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I wanted to soften the card and add some texture so added a piece of Very Vanilla Lace Trim to the right side of the stamped panel and added the finished topper to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com- Cake Soiree by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the small flowers in Daffodil Delight ink and rolled the edges of one in Calypso Coral ink and the other in Crushed Curry ink before die cut them using the Sweet Cake Builder Dies. I added one to the top of the cake using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and the other on a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I hope you like the card today.

Champagne hearts

Bubble Over for an engagement congratulations card

The Bubble Over stamp set, available from the 3rd January in my online store, makes a lovely understated congratulations card.

I wanted the main element on the front of the card to look like a bottle of Champagne. I tried stamping the ‘largest bottle’ image in Chocolate Chip ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock, I liked it but the colour just wasn’t right. For the second attempt I tried Old Olive ink but it was much too light so I stamped the bottle again using Always Artichoke ink which was perfect. I die cut the stamped bottle using the co-ordinating Bottles and Bubbles Framelit dies and my Big Shot. I also die cut one of the label pieces from a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the ‘small heart’ image onto the label in Real Red ink and added it to the front of the die cut bottle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Congratulations card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock using my Paper Trimmer to 5” by 3½”, placed my die cut bottle roughly in position then stamped the heart image using 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th  generation Real Red ink to look as if the hearts were bubbling out of the bottle. Leaving the bottle roughly in position I inked up the sentiment from the Balloon Celebrations stamp set in Always Artichoke ink and stamped it to the side of the bottle. The bottle was then added to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Romantic congratulations card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I added apiece of the gorgeous ⅛” Real Red Ribbon from the Autumn/Winter catalogue along the bottom of the panel and tied a small bow. I love this ribbon and will really miss it when it retires next week.  To finish the panel off I rounded the upper right corner with my retired Project Life Corner Rounder.

Champagne hearts

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I cut a piece of Real Red cardstock 4⅛” by 3⅝” and added it to the front of a Crumb Cake card base and added the decorated panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive for both pieces. To add some sparkle I used 3 of the hearts from the Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes.

I plan to give this card to the son of a friend and his new fiancée, hope they like it.
