The gorgeous Perennial Birthday stamp set was still out on my desk this morning so I used it to make a quick birthday card.
I started with a Perfect Plum card base and stamped randomly all over the front with the largest flower stamp and Perfect Plum ink. Love the subtle tone on tone look of this.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
Next I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Perfect Plum ink onto a 3” by 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using my Big Shot and the Layering Circles dies. Whilst I had the Big Shot out I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Pool Party cardstock and set it to one side.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
Using Pool Party, Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz – I should have added in Peakaboo Peach and I would have used all the PP’s colours – I stamped a variety of the flowers and leaves from the stamp set around the edge of the Whisper White die cut circle. The stamped circle was then added to the Pool Party scalloped circle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I added banners to the card front in Pear Pizzazz (4⅛” by ½”) and Pink Pirouette (4⅛” by ⅜”) and flagged the ends with my scissors. The circle piece was added over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off I painted the centre of all the flowers on the circle and on the card front with Clear Wink of Stella, so pretty.
Hope you like this card.

For my November classes we used the Hearts Come Home stamp set and the co-ordinating Hometown edgelits to make great Christmas cards. This is such a versatile bundle and could be used to make new home or wedding cards .
www.crafty-rootes.com – Hearts Come Home stamp set and Hometown framelits by Stampin’ Up
The first card was relatively simple. We took a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5 ½” by 4”, to the Big Shot and die cut the ‘church’ edgelit, placing the top of the spire as close to the top of the panel as possible. I deliberately gave the ladies a larger piece of cardstock so that they needn’t try to get everything straight. After die cutting they trimmed the church and houses free of the scrap. The ladies laid the die cut piece onto a panel of Night of Navy cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and using the Fine-tip Glue Pen randomly added spots of glue all over the panel, covering the spots of glue with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. The sentiment was stamped using Night of Navy ink onto the bottom of the die cut panel. We added a scrap of Tempting Turquoise cardstock to the back of the church and added the die cut panel to the Night of Navy layer with Tombow and the whole panel added to a Thick Whisper White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The trees were then die cut from Emerald Envy cardstock and added with Tombow.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Hearts Come Home stamp set and Hometown framelits by Stampin’ UpFor the second card we stamped the sentiment from the Merry Patterns stamps set in Pacific Point ink at the bottom of a piece of Whisper White cardstock which had been die cut using the largest oval Stitched Frame die. The houses were added in Night of Navy ink, Tempting Turquoise ink and Pacific Point ink. The trees were stamped in Emerald Envy ink. We added the oval to a slightly larger Night of Navy scalloped oval using Tombow. We die cut the decorative border from the Swirly Snowflakes framelits from a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and added a piece of Night of Navy crushed seam binding, securing it at the back with Sellotape. The stamped oval was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals over the ribbon and a bow added at the side.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Hearts Come Home stamp set and Hometown Edgelits by Stampin’ Up!
For the final card we die cut the houses from a panel of Whisper White cardstock 3” by 2 ½” before die cutting using one of the Layering Circle dies. We ‘scribbled’ over the die cut piece using the Fine-Tip Glue Pen and sprinkled it with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter. The die cut houses were the added to an identical Night of Navy circle and matted this onto a slightly larger Tempting Turquoise die cut circle. Using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch we punched out 2 ribbon strips from a piece of Tempting Turquoise cardstock and glued them to the back of a piece of Night of Navy cardstock 4⅛” by 2”. A strip of Emerald Envy cardstock was added using Tombow and the whole piece added to a Thick Whisper White card base. The circle topper was then added using Stampin’ Dimensionals. We used the Night of Navy marker and the Emerald Envy marker to colour in the sentiment before stamping it in the bottom right hand corner.

I had a great time on Sunday running a craft session at a soon to be 10year old’s birthday party. The birthday girl, her friends and her younger sister were a pleasure to spend time with and they were so enthusiastic. I designed 2 projects using the Cool Treats Stamp set and the co-ordinating Frozen Treats Framelit dies for them to make.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treas Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!
The first was a card and we started by stamping one of the ice lolly images using Flirty Flamingo ink, So Saffron Ink, Peakaboo Peach ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. We added the lolly stick using Crumb Cake ink before die cutting the lollies using the Frozen Treats framelit dies. The girls did an amazing job and loved stamping.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treas Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!
Next we inserted 3 strips of cardstock 5⅞” by ¼” in Flirty Flamingo, Peakaboo Peach and So Saffron, into the Seaside Embossing Folder and ran it through the die cutting machine to get some cool texture. The girls loved doing this. We added the embossed strips to a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” using Snail Adhesive and used the Grid Paper to help make sure they were straight. They stamped the sentiment from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink below the embossed strips.
Using Snail Adhesive they added a Whisper White circle, die cut ahead of time using the Stitched Shapes framelits to a scalloped circle, die cut ahead of time from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock using the Layering Circles framelits. This piece was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals on top of the embossed strips.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!
The 4 die cut ice lollies were then added to the Whisper White circle with either Snail Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. The girls then added some Iridescent Sequins using Mini Glue Dots and a Paper Piercer, they loved these. To finish we stamped another lolly and lolly stick onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” for the inside and onto the front of a Whisper White Envelope.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!
For the second project we took a piece of Whisper white cardstock 8½” by 3½” and stamped a variety of ice lollies along one of the long sides in Flirty Flamingo, So saffron, Peakaboo Peach, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party ink, the girls even did a little 2 step stamping which they loved. To make the project go faster I had already stamped the lolly sticks along one of the 8½” sides using Crumb Cake ink and applied Tear & Tape to the back of the stamped side and along one of the 3½” sides.
Next they folded and burnished the base of the bag which I had scored and cut for them. I started with a 3” by 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock and scoring at ½” on all 4 sides then cutting up the score lines to form 4 tabs. I had added Tear & Tape to the tabs ahead of time and the girls removed the backing and adhered the tabs to the outside of the base. They then removed the backing from the adhesive on the long side and adhered it to the base, starting from the middle of one of the sides and wrapping it around pressing it into place as they went. The backing was then removed from the remaining short edge and overlapped to seal the sides of the bag.
They curled 2 strips of Whisper White cardstock 8” by ½” using a Bone Folder before applying a Mini Glue Dot to both ends of each strip and adding them to the inside of the bag to form the handles. To finish off they decorated the outside with Iridescent Sequins which they stuck on with Mini Glue Dots.
They did so well and their cards and bags looked amazing and I just love the summery colours..

An Autumnal Colorful Seasons anniversary card made using the Colorful Seasons stamp set. This gorgeous stamp set was out on my desk again today and I used it to make a lovely Anniversary card for my husband.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin Up
I wanted to use the solid leaf images from the stamp set and paired them up with gorgeous Autumnal colours. I took the larger ‘maple leaf’ image and stamped it in Crushed Curry ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”, cleaned the stamp on my fabulous Stampin’ Scrub – couldn’t live without this, and stamped it again in 2nd generation Cherry Cobbler ink, Pear Pizzazz ink, 2nd generation Cajun Craze ink and 2nd generation Rich Razzleberry ink. I added the smaller maple leaf image using the same ink colours in either 1st or 2nd generation ink. I added this panel to a layer of Early Espresso cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. This whole piece was then added to an Old Olive card base, again using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin Up
I stamped the Happy Anniversary from the Number of Years stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2¾” by 2¾” before running it through the Big Shot with a circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I stamped around the edges of the die cut circle using the same images. I die cut an Early Espresso scalloped circle from a 3” x 3” piece of cardstock and the Layering Circle dies and added it to the back with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin Up
I added some Fast Fuse to the back of the Early Espresso circle and adhered some messy Copper Metallic Thread. This piece was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I like the card and so did my husband……..hooray.

The Christmas Sweaters stamp set made for great projects at classes this we made 3 gorgeous cards and got covered in red ink and glitter……………….what’s not to like…..
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
We started with a simple card, stamping the adorable ‘fairy light sweater’ image using Momento Tuxedo Black ink across a panel of Whisper White 5⅞” by 1¾”. We then randomly coloured in the lights using Real Red, Pool Party and So Saffron ink pads and Blender Pens. After colouring we added the stamped piece to a layer of Pool Party 5⅞” by 2” and then to a Real Red layer 5⅞” by 2¼” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
We stamped the sentiment from the Star of Light stamp set using Real Red ink onto the Thick Whisper White card base before adding the stamped panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. This would be a great card to mass produce.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
For the second card we stamped the ‘gingerbread’ jumper using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. We coloured it in using Real Red, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and So Saffron ink pads and Blender Pens before using a circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies and the Big Shot to cut it out. We also die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Real Red cardstock using the Layering Circle dies and glued the 2 layers together. The scalloped circles were added to one of the gorgeous Foil Snowflakes.
We stamped the jumper randomly onto a Pool Party panel 5⅜” by 3⅝”using Pool Party ink then wrapped a length of ⅛” Real Red Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to a Pool Party card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the Foil Snowflake and the piece was added to the card front. To finish the card we added a bow made using the ⅛” Real Red Ribbon and adhered it using a Mini Glue Dot.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
We used the ‘Santa Sweater’ to make the third card. The image was stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut using a square from the Stitched Shapes framelit dies. The sweater was then coloured in using the Real Red Marker Pen. We added colour to Santa’s glasses using the Crumb Cake ink pad and added colour to Santa’s face using a Calypso Coral Watercolor Pencil and the Blender Pens. He is such a jolly looking chap……. We covered his beard, mustache, eyebrows, hat brim and bobble with a thin coating of Tombow which we spread thinly using a cotton bud and covered it in Dazzling Diamonds Glitter………gorgeous. The stamped panel was added with Tombow to a square of Pool Party cardstock die cut using the Layering Squares dies.
We took a panel of Whisper White 5¼” by 3½”, inserted the lower right hand corner into the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot. We then randomly stamped the rest of the panel with the tiny stars from the Star of Light stamp set using Pool Party Ink. Two pieces of ⅛” Real Red Ribbon were then wrapped around the top of the panel and secured with Sellotape on the back. The stamped panel was then added with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Star of Light stamp set was stamped in Real Red ink onto a scrap of Pool Party cardstock, the end was flagged with scissors and added to the card front with Tombow.

Painted Harvest Class – Thank you to all the lovely ladies who came to classes this week, we had a ball using the Painted Harvest stamp set to make 3 beautiful projects
www.carfty-rootes.com – Painted Harvest by Stampin’ Up!
The first card was very simple and started with us randomly stamping the ‘solid flower image’ in Crushed Curry ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. We added the more ‘detailed flower’ image over the top of the first image in Cajun Craze ink, love how the 2 step stamping brings the flower to life.
We then stamped the sentiment from the Banners for You stamp set in Chocolate Chip ink and at this point we decided whether we were doing a landscape or portrait version of the card. We then stamped the ‘flower centre’ using Chocolate Chip ink and filled in the white spaces using the ‘fern like leaf image’ and Pear Pizzazz ink.
We wrapped a piece of ⅛” Copper Trim around the stamped piece and tied it in a bow………..always a challenge….. We added a thin strip of Chocolate Chip cardstock along one edge with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added the whole panel using the same glue to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base. To finish off we stamped the flower again on the inside of the card and the front of the envelope.
www.carfty-rootes.com – Painted Harvest by Stampin’ Up!
With the 2nd card we started by embossing a piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Layered Leaves Dynamic Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot. We added the embossed panel to a slightly larger piece of Crushed Curry cardstock using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and used the same glue to adhere the panel to a Cajun Craze card base.
We stamped the flower in exactly the same way as for the first card onto a scrap of Whisper White and die cut it using a circle die from the Stitched Shapes framelits. We also die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Cajun Craze cardstock using one of the Layering Circle dies. We then glued the 2 circles together with Tombow.
We stamped one of the leaf images in Always Artichoke ink onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock and punched them out using the Leaf Punch. These were added to the back of the Cajun Craze scalloped circle with Tombow.
We stamped the banner and the sentiment from the ThoughtfulBanners stamp set using Chocolate Chip ink onto Whisper White cardstock and punched the banner out using the Duet Banner punch. This was added to the front of the stamped piece using Tombow. We added the whole piece to the embossed panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Again to finish we stamped the flower onto the envelope and onto a layer of Whisper White cardstock which we added to the inside of the card using Tombow.
www.carfty-rootes.com – Painted Harvest by Stampin’ Up!
The 3rd card was a CHRISTMAS card……..I know, couldn’t resist sneaking one in. I got the idea for this card from Pinterest but I haven’t been able to identify who originally came up with the idea but I have put my own spin on it.
We stamped the ‘solid flower image’ randomly in Pear Pizzazz ink onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock and added the panel to a Thick Whisper White card base. We then stamped the solid flower onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Pear Pizzazz ink. We stamped the detailed layer in Always Artichoke ink and added the ‘berries’ in Cajun Craze ink. We stamped the sentiment from the Star of Light stamp set in Cajun Craze ink and then flagged the end of the Whisper White piece using scissors. We added some Gold Glimmer paper behind and sneakily we used a short piece, cut into two and stuck on at the top and the bottom with Tear & Tape….. no- one will ever know……..
We added the whole panel to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a bow made from the ⅛” Copper Trim with a Mini Glue Dot before decorating the inside of the card and the envelope.
I hope you like the projects as much as the ladies did.

I have been playing today with the gorgeous Merry Patterns stamp set which has this gorgeous image with a deer in a jumper……..I kid you not! This is a set you cannot buy; it can only be earned with a £250 order. Lucky me, I had a large order going in for my September Stamp-a-Stack and was able to get this set……..whoo hoo.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Merry Patterns stamp set by Stampin’ Up
I love the deer image and decided to use my markers to colour it in so that I could show off the lovely patterns on the jumper. I chose to use Whisper White cardstock and used the Chocolate Chip Marker for the head, antlers, legs and tail of the deer and Real Red Marker and Tranquil Tide Marker for the jumper.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Merry Patterns stamp set by Stampin’ Up
I was really happy with how the deer looked. I cut the deer out using the Layering Circle Dies and backed the circle with a slightly larger scalloped circle, cut from Real Red cardstock and a die from the same set.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Merry Patterns stamp set by Stampin’ Up
I took a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and glued half of a gorgeous silver Foiled Snowflake to it. You get 24 of these gorgeous snowflakes per pack, 12 in silver and 12 in gold. I wrapped a piece of ⅛” Silver Metallic Ribbon to hide the top edge of the cut snowflake, adhering the ribbon to the back of the Whisper White panel with Sellotape. I added the whole piece to the card front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The stamped deer topper was then added over the snowflake and ribbon on Stampin Dimensionals.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Merry Patterns stamp set by Stampin’ Up
The sentiment was stamped below using Real Red ink. I used a Mini Glue Dot to add a bow made from the ⅛” Silver Metallic Ribbon to add a little shine. Hope you like today’s project.
This stamp set really is lovely and I am looking forward to using the candle image next so look out for that post.

Use the quirky Christmas Sweaters stamp set to make fun, modern looking Christmas cards.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters by Stampin’ Up
For today’s project I stamped one of the sweaters from the Christmas Sweater stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I carefully coloured alternate stripes of the sweater using the brush end of the Berry Burst Marker. After a bit of trial and error I found it best to brush the colour on in one direction rather than going backwards and forwards, you get a less streaky finish.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters by Stampin’ Up
The image was then die cut using the Big Shot and the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes framelit dies. I added the stitched circle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive to a large scallop circle which was die cut from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock using the Layering Circle framelit dies.
I took a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 3⅝” and wrapped a length of ½” Finely Woven Berry Burst Ribbon about a third of the way down the panel, adhering it to the back with sellotape and added the circle topper piece over the top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment was then stamped below the sweater using Lemon Lime Twist ink. The whole panel was then added to a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Isn’t it typical? It has been cold and wet most of the summer and as soon as I come up with a definitely autumnal card, using the fabulous Lovely As A Tree stamp set, out comes the sun and it turns lovely and hot. If I’d known that sooner……….
www.crafty-rootes.com – Lovely As a Tree stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I took a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 2¾” by 2¾”, inked up the top of the tree using the So Saffron ink pad. I then took the Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Garden Green and Early Espresso Markers and added colour to the canopy of the tree using the ‘thumping technique’. Basically you hold the marker on its side between your thumb and middle finger and thump the brush end randomly down adding spots of colour.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Lovely As a Tree stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I used the Early Espresso Marker to colour in the trunk of the tree. When I had finished adding colour I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped it down. Love the effect this technique gives, simple but gorgeous. I die cut the tree using the largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies and layered it, using Tombow Liquid Adhesive, onto an Early Espresso scalloped circle die cut using the largest scalloped die from the Layered Circle Framelits.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Lovely As a Tree stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I took a Crumb Cake card base and stamped the oak leaf image around the edge using Crumb Cake ink. I ran a panel of Crumb Cake cardstock through the Big Shot with the Seaside embossing folder (meant to use the woodgrain folder but didn’t notice that I’d got the wrong one until later!!!!) and added it to the right side of the card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive, leaving an even border around three sides.
I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap strip of So Saffron cardstock. I adhered this to the front of the embossed panel using Tombow and added thin strips of Cajun Craze and Old Olive cardstock either side of the sentiment piece.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Lovely As a Tree stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
The stamped circle was added to the front of the card, overhanging the right hand side, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The overhanging portion was then trimmed off using Scissors.

One of my lovely team mates moved house earlier this month and this is the card I made for her using the oh so versatile In The City stamp set.
I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5¼” by 3½” and stamped a variety of the sweet little houses just below the mid line of the panel using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I interspersed the houses with a few trees and added a cobbled road in front of the houses using Crumb Cake ink.

I then took the panel to the Big Shot and cut a circle using one of the Layering Circle dies from the middle of the stamped scene. Using the infill stamp for each house I coloured only the parts in the die cut circle, this is called the spotlight technique, using Pink Pirouette, Soft Sky and Wisteria Wonder. The roof and doors were stamped with Crumb Cake ink and Smoky Slate ink. I stamped an extra tree on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and fussy cut the top part after stamping it using Pear Pizzazz ink. I added the top of the tree using a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I die cut a slightly larger circle using the Layering Circle dies from the centre of a layer of Soft Sky cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” then used this layer to back the large stamped Whisper White panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. This whole panel was then added to a Pear Pizzazz card base again using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the die cut circle piece and laid it into the die cut hole. Love the look of this technique and it works so well with this stamp set.
