Calming Camellia

Posted on January 23, 2022January 17, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Today, I have been playing with the gorgeous Calming Camellia stamp set which is free with a £275 order. I love these textured floral stamps as you can get fantastic results with minimal supplies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the calming camellia card, you will need:

Early Espresso card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Calypso Coral card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by 2½”
Early Espresso card – 3” by 2½”

I inked up the large floral stamp with Petal Pink ink, added Calypso Coral ink around the edge and in the centre and stamped it onto one of the larger Basic White layers. I repeated these steps until the whole panel was covered by the image.

The small ‘swirl’ image was stamped in Calypso Coral ink to fill in any white spaces and to add a depth of colour. The stamped panel was then glued to the Calypso Coral layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A length of the pretty Petal Pink Organdy Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape. The panel was the glued to the Early Espresso card front.

The sentiment from the Flowing Flowers stamp set was stamped in Calypso Coral ink onto the small panel of Basic White card. This was then cut out using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Tasteful Labels Dies. I cut a second label from the small piece of Early Espresso card. I cut the label from top to bottom and added it to both sides of the stamped label using liquid glue. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

To finish the card, I added a trio of Artistry Blooms Sequins.

Today I am sharing the project made at this week’s classes using the Daffodil Dies and co-ordinating Daffodil Afternoon dsp. Each person attending class received a 6^ by 6” pack of the Daffodil Afternoon dsp to use for their cards.

We added the folded Very Vanilla card to the Pear Pizzazz panel.

The piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp was added to the front of the Very Vanilla panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We ran the die cut scalloped rectangle through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Greenery Die. This adds texture without fussiness. The rectangle was then added, offset to the card front.

We then die cut the pieces for the daffodil and leaves from scrap Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz card. The leaves and stem were added to to the card front with liquid glue. The pieces of the daffodil were stuck together with liquid glue and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

After cutting the piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp to the sizes given above, we adhered each piece to the slightly larger Daffodil Delight layer.

These panels were then added t the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Very Vanilla card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. We backed this with a Basic Black punched piece cut in half and added to the back. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

This is such a simple card to put together and is a great way to use dsp.

Very Vanilla card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pear Pizzazz card – 5⅞” by 3”
Very Vanilla card – 5¾” by 2”

We cut ½” strips from our dsp sheets and added them to the Very Vanilla strip with glue. The excess pieces were trimmed off with scissors.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies we die cut the scalloped border on one side of the Pear Pizzazz panel and added the panel of dsp strips with liquid glue.

We placed the piece on the card front for placement before stamping the sentiment in Old Olive ink.

A piece of the black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and the whole panel was then added to the Very Vanilla card front on Dimensionals. A bow made from the same ribbon was added to finish the card.

Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on December 29, 2021January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2^nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink. I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The sentiment came from the Kite Delight stamp set ad was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the strip of Basic White card and trimmed down with scissors before being added to the card using liquid glue.

The Many Messages stamp set was mounted on the Stamparatus plate, inked up with Basic Gray ink and stamped onto scrap Basic White card. I find these large background stamps much easier to manage using the Stamparatus.
