Birthday Goodness

Posted on July 25, 2019July 22, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I have been playing with the Birthday Goodness stamp set this week and have made a really sweet shaker card for my sister in laws birthday.

To recreate the Birthday Goodness card you will need;

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Rococo Rose cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White cardstock 5⅜ by 3⅝” x 2
Rococo Rose cardstock 4¾” by 3¼”
Window Sheet 5” by 3½”

I die cut a rectangle from the centre of one of the Whisper White layers using a Rectangle Stitched die. Using the same die and the next one up I die cut the frame from the smaller panel of Rococo Rose cardstock.

I stamped the tower of macarons in Basic Gray ink onto the die cut stitched rectangle and coloured it in using the following Blends markers – Rococo Rose combo, Seaside Spray combo and Crumb Cake combo……….don’t they look good enough to eat!

I glued the Rococo Rose frame to the Whisper White frame using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive and added the window sheet to the reverse using Mini Glue Dots.

The larger Rococo Rose panel was added to the card front using the same adhesive. Placing the ‘frame’ onto the card front I added the same adhesive to the back of the stamped piece and nestled it inside the frame. The frame was then lifted away abd foam adhesive strips added all round the rectangular aperture making sure to leave no gaps.

I placed a pinch of the Woven Threads Seqiuns on top of the stamped image and added the frame over the top. The sentiment was stamped on basic Gray ink and added to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.

I have had my first play with the gorgeous new Lasting Lily stamp set. This is one of the Sale-a-Bration choices that you can get for free with a £90 order.

Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist used with the Butterfly Gala Stamp set for a pretty card

Berry Burst Butterflies

Posted on January 1, 2019January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card featuring butterflies which I made as one of my samples for January’s classes featuring the Butterfly Gala stamp set.

Making the card

I started by stamping a double butterfly randomly all over the front of a Berry Burst card base in Berry Burst ink. I stamped it again in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto some scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched them out using the Butterfly Duet punch. I used my Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist Markers to colour the butterflies in.

I stamped the sentiment on scrap Whisper White cardstock using Berry Burst ink and die cut a circle using my Big Shot and the Layering Circle Dies. I also die cut a Basic Black scalloped circle and a Lemon Lime Twist circle. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the stamped white layer to the Basic Black layer, then the Basic Black to the Lemon Lime Twist circle.

I added a strip of Tear n Tape to the card front and added a loop of Berry Burst silver Edged ribbon to the Tear n Tape before adding the circle topper on top of the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the butterflies to the topper with Mini Glue Dots and added some Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.
