Latte Love card

Posted on March 3, 2024March 6, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Oh my goodness, I love the new Latte Love stamp set, one of our new online exclusive product which will be available from the 5^th March. I am not a big coffee drinker but I do love a mug!

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the latte love card, you will need:

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pecan Pie card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Pecan Pie card – 2½” by ½”
Parakeet Party card – 2½” by ¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

I mounted the group of coffee beans and the single bean together on the same block and randomly stamped these around the edges of the Tahitian Tide card front in Tahitian Tide ink. This gives a subtle texture to the card front.

The ‘splash’ image was randomly stamped all over the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card using 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd generation Pecan Pie ink. I used a Blending Brush to add colour around the edges of the panel in the same Pecan Pie ink. The whole piece was then glued to the Pecan Pie layer.

A length of Tahitian Tide Metallic Ribbon was wrapped around and tied in a bow on the left-hand side. I used a little Tear & Tape to secure the rinbbon on the back. The panel was glued to the Tahitian Tide card front.

Two mugs were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card, I stamped the coffee in the top of the mugs using Pecan Pie ink. The mugs were then die cut using the Latte Love dies. I used the following Blends Pens to colour in the mugs – Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide. The mugs were then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip og Pecan Pie card, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set. I flagged the ends of the sentiment and the ends of the strip of Parakeet Party card which was glued behind the sentiment. The hole piece was added, over the ribbon to the card front.

A floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge made using the So Refreshing stamp set and dies by Stampin' Up!

So Refreshing Floating Panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on June 6, 2023May 29, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. Love fun folds and today I am sharing a floating panel card made using the So Refreshing stamp set and inspired by Susan Campfield – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn3Lrs-aNu4.

The colours used in this card are:

To recreate the so refreshing card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 2 1/16” and 4⅛”
Stargazing dsp – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Stargazing dsp – 5⅝” by 1⅞” x 2
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”
Basic White card – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 3” by 2” – scored at ¾”, 1½”, 2¼”
Scrap Basic White card

I folded and burnished the score lines on the Thick Basic White card base and glued the panels of Stargazing dsp to the card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I die cut rectangles from 5” by 3½” and 4” by 3” panels of Basic White card. I trimmed off the left side of the larger rectangle. Using a Blending Brush, I added Berry Burst ink, lightly around the edges of both of the scalloped rectangles. The sentiment was then stamped at the top of the smaller rectangle in Berry Burst ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The outline of the jug was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card and added the infill in Lemon Lime Twist ink. The glass was stamped next in Pebbled Path ink and added the infill using the same Lemon Lime Twist ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The outline limes, outline leaves and slice of lime were all stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and the infill of the leaves and limes in Lemon Lime Twist ink all on Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The spray of flowers was stamped on scrap Basic White card, the stem and leaves in Granny Apple Green, outline flowers in Berry Burst ink and infill flowers in Bubble Bath ink. I stamped an extra flower and trimmed it out using Scissors.

The two scalloped rectangles were then decorated with all the die cut pieces.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The larger rectangle with the cut down side was then inserted onto the back panel. I didn’t do this correctly………. I didn’t actually watch Susan’s video to the end as I thought I knew what she had done……….. haven’t we all made that mistake. What I should have done was fold in the two outer pieces of the 3” by 2” panel and place them, folded side down, straddling the scoreline and adhering them with a strong adhesive. The rectangle panel should then be glued to the left had side.

The smaller rectangle is then added to the front piece with glue only on the left side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The card was completed using a scattering of Festive Pearls.

Using a Blending Brush, I swirled some Daffodil Delight ink in the centre of the small panel of Basic White card and added the die-cut cup and lemon slices to the right-side. The decorated panel was then added to the Starry Sky panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The word TEA was die-cut using the Alphabet A’ La Mode Dies from scrap Daffodil Delight & Starry Sky card. They were added to the card with liquid glue.
