Highland Heather – 5” by 3⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 4⅞” by 3” – rounded lower left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left corner

I stamped the swirly circle from the Swirly Frames multiple times in the upper right corner of the small Whisper White panel. I used Gray Granite ink.

One of the tiny flowers from the Field of Flowers stamp set was randomly stamped inside the interlocking circles.

Using Stampin’ Blends I coloured in some of the overlapping sections. I used Light Flirty Flamingo, light Pool Party, light Highland Heather & light So Saffron. Don’t those colours look great together.

Little Elephant Baby card for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on August 25, 2019August 5, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the August Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop. This month we are focusing on Babies and Children and I have such a sweet card to share with you. I made this for friends who have recently had a sweet baby girl who they have named Phoebe. I chose to use the Little Elephant stamp set and the co-ordinating Elephant Builder Punch to make my card.

To recreate the Little Elephant card you will need;

Smokey Slate card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Rococo Rose 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Smoky Slate 4 ¼” by 3”
Whisper White 4 ¼” by 3”
Scrap Rococo Rose and Whisper White

I really wanted to use the gorgeous Stitched lace die on this card. I die cut it from one of the Whisper White cardstock panels and used the new die brush attachment for the Take Your Pick Tool to get all the little pieces out. I added this large die cut piece to the Rococo Rose panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I placed the die cut piece face down on my silicone mat and applied the glue with a piece of sponge.

www.crafty-rootes.com -The Little Elephant stamp set and the Elephant Builder Punch used for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

I wrapped a length of Silver Edged White Ribbon around the panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to a Smoky Slate card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com -The Little Elephant stamp set and the Elephant Builder Punch used for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

I stamped the sweet little elephants on scrap Whisper White in Rococo Rose ink, the full strength ink was too dark so I stamped off first to get a lighter shade. I stamped the elephants again in Smoky Slate ink and punched out the 2 pink ones and the ears from the grey ones using the Elephant Builder Punch. I added the ears to each elephant on a dimensional.

www.crafty-rootes.com -The Little Elephant stamp set and the Elephant Builder Punch used for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

I die cut a stitched oval from the small Whisper White layer using the Stitched Shapes dies. I inked up the strip of plaid image from the same stamp set using Smoky Slate ink, stamped off twice then stamped onto the bottom of the die cut oval. I added leaves from the Dino Days stamp set in 1^st and 2^nd generation Smoky Slate ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com -The Little Elephant stamp set and the Elephant Builder Punch used for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

The elephants were glued to the die cut oval with the Multipurpose glue and added to a Scalloped Oval which was die cut from the Smoky Slate piece. The oval was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I added a bow to the side of the oval with a Mini Glue Dot. The sentiment from the Little Elephant was stamped in Smoky Slate and Rococo Rose ink onto scrap Whisper White and backed with a scrap of Rococo Rose cardstock and glued to the card front.

Making the Joy Fold retirement card

You will need;
Thick Whisper White cardstock 8½” by 4¼” and scored it on the long side at 5½”
Thick Whisper White cardstock 8” by 3” and scored it on the long side at 4” – rounded upper right corner on the score line

I began by cutting, scoring and burnishing the 2 pieces of Thick Whisper White cardstock which make the card. I cut 2 panels of Twinkle, Twinkle Designer Series Paper (dsp) and adhered them to the larger of the Thick Whisper White panels with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The By the Bay stamp set used to make a Joy Fold retirement card

I stamped the cottage image onto the smallest piece of Whisper White in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and set it aside to dry. I coloured in the image using Watercolor Pencils in the following colours – Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, Early Espresso, Crushed Curry & Cajun Craze, using a Blender pen to smooth out the colour.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The By the Bay stamp set used to make a Joy Fold retirement card

The stamped panel was then added to the layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and then adhered to the smaller piece of Thick Whisper White, remembering that this part of the card opens from left to right. The whole piece was then added to the larger Thick Whisper White panel. All the glue was done using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Graceful Glass dsp by Stampin' Up! used for a sympathy card

Graceful Glass Sympathy card

Posted on October 9, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have made a sweet sympathy card using the Graceful Glass Vellum Designer Series Paper. This dsp is absolutely gorgeous and needs very little doing to it to make a stunning card.

Making the Graceful Glass card

I started by choosing the panel of dsp I wanted, I loved this square, scrolly one. I trimmed the panel down, turned it over to the reverse side and coloured it in using the Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Fresh Fig Stampin Write Markers. It looks so pretty…..

www.crafty-rootes.com – Graceful Glass for a sympathy card

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock exactly the same size as the vellum dsp panel, 3” by 3”. I squeezed some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon Mat and using a wedge of sponge I applied the glue, thinly all over the Whisper White panel and added the coloured vellum panel.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Graceful Glass for a sympathy card

I cut a border strip from another of the dsp sheets. I added the coloured vellum panel to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and tucked the border piece in behind using a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive where it would be hidden.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Graceful Glass for a sympathy card

The sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set was stamped in below the coloured panel in Tranquil Tide ink. I love the font in this stamp set.

This is such a striking card. I hope you like it.

Feathers Make Every Day Bright

Posted on October 2, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have used the sweet hostess stamp set called Making Every Day Bright to make a get well card for one of my team members who slipped and fell whilst on holiday and fractured her elbow………..ouch. She has just had surgery and will hopefully now be on the mend. This charming stamp set co-ordinates with the Christmas Bulb Builder punch and the Making Christmas Bright stamp sets from the Autumn/Winter catalogue.

Making the Every Day Bright card

I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5” by 3 ¼” and randomly stamped the sweet little feather image in Rich Razzelberry, Mint Macaron and Mint Macaron. Like many others I find random stamping really challenging.

Feathers from Making Every Day Bright stamp set

www.crafty-rootes.com – Making Every Day Bright stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I added the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½”. I wrapped a length of Rich Razzelberry ⅛” Velvet Ribbon around the card panel securing it on the back with Sellotape.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Making Every Day Bright stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I die cut a circle using the Stitched Shapes framelit dies, tucked the circle under the ribbon and stamped the sentiment from the Apron of Love stamp set in Mint Macaron ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Making Every Day Bright stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the feather once in each colour onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched them out using the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch. I tucked the feathers under the strip of ribbon using Mini Glue Dots and added a ribbon bow on top.

Such a pretty card and I love the unusual colour combo. I hope it brings a smile to Jill’s face.

Spirited Snowmen for a Stamp’N Hop

Posted on September 14, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. If you have hopped over from the lovely Eva Pottsova I am sure you loved her project. One of the first things that caught my eye in the new Holiday Catalogue was the adorable Spirited Snowmen stamp set. Those snowmen are just sooooo cute.

Dancing Snowman card

For the first card I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4 ¼” by 2 ¾” which I placed in my Stamparatus. I inked up the Buffalo Check stamp with Poppy Parade ink and stamped it down. I find using the big background stamps with the Stamparatus gives a much better image. I added the stamped piece to a panel of Poppy Parade cardstock 4⅜” by 2⅞” and added it to a Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.carfty-rootes.com – Spirited Snowman stamp st by Stampin’Up! for sweet Christmas cards

Next I stamped the Dancing Snowman in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White 3” by 3” and used the Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Soft Suede markers to colour him in. He looks so happy doesn’t he?

www.carfty-rootes.com – Spirited Snowman stamp st by Stampin’Up! for sweet Christmas cards

I die cut the snowman using the Layering Circles dies and the Big Shot and die cut a slightly larger Blueberry Bushel scalloped circle and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set in Blueberry Bushel and added the image to the right side of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To complete the card I added some Red Rhinestones and a Blueberry Bushel bow with a Mini Glue Dots.

Skating Snowman card

I started with a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock 5⅞” by 4⅛”. I placed this in the Stamparatus, inked up the large Buffalo Check background stamp with Blueberry Bushel ink and stamped it onto the Balmy Blue cardstock. The stamped Buffalo Check piece was then cut on the diagonal using the Stampin’ Trimmer and adhered to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base.

www.carfty-rootes.com – Spirited Snowman stamp st by Stampin’Up! for sweet Christmas cards

I cut a strip of Silver Foil at 6” by ¼” and adhered it to the card front above the stamped panel leaving a small gap between the two pieces.

I stamped the gorgeous ‘skating snowman’ onto a panel of Whisper White approximately 3” by 3” and coloured it in using the Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede and Pumpkin Pie Markers. He looks adorable. The piece was the die cut using the Big Shot and the Layering Circles dies.

www.carfty-rootes.com – Spirited Snowman stamp st by Stampin’Up! for sweet Christmas cards

I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Blueberry Bushel cardstock and added it to the stamped circle. I then die cut a slightly larger circle from Poppy parade and adhered it to the back of the scalloped circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This piece was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a scattering of Red Rhinestones was added for that bit of extra sparkle.

The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and backed by a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock. I banner cut the end and stuck it to the card front.
