Donkey

Posted on December 27, 2020January 7, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a cute card made using the Darling Donkey stamp set which is one of the free Sale-A-Bration choices available from the 5^th January 2021 with a £45 order.

To recreate the cute Donkey card, you will need:

Pretty Peacock card base 8 ¼ by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
In Good Taste dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Pretty Peacock – 3 ¼” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 3 ¼” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner

I began by running the In Good Taste dsp panel through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Painted Texture embossing folder. I just love the texture this gives. The panel was then glued to the larger Whisper White layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking a length of the lovely Scalloped Linen Ribbon, I cut off the two scalloped edges and wrapped them around the panel adhering them on the back of the panel with Sellotape. The panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock card base using the same liquid glue.

I die cut a plain circle from the square of Whisper White using the Layering Circle Dies and stamped the C-U-T-E donkey using Basic Gray ink. He was coloured in using the following Blends Markers – Pretty Peacock, light and dark, Basic Black, light and Ivory.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A cute all occasion card made using the Sale-A-Bration Darling Donkey stamp set

The sentiment was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink. The stamped panel was added to a scalloped circle cut from the Pretty Peacock using the liquid glue. The whole piece was then mounted to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card, I added a trio of Elegant Faceted Gems.

Flowering Foils

Posted on March 31, 2020March 24, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card made made for a new team member using the gorgeous Flowering Foils designer series paper (dsp) and the stunning So Very Vellum paper. Both of these items are part of this years Sale-A-Bration. With a £45 order you can choose either the dsp or the vellum – with a £90 order you can get both but don’t hang about as Sale-A-Bration ends today.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A sweet welcome to the team card made using the Flowering Foils dsp and the So Very Vellum card

To recreate the Flowering Foils card you will need;

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
So Very Vellum – 5⅞” by 4⅛” – cut on the diagonal
Flowering Foils dsp
Bermuda Bay – 5 by ¼”
Bermuda bay – 5½” by ¼”
Whisper White – 3” by ¼”

I started by fussy cutting a flower from a sheet of the Flowering Foils dsp using my sharp Paper Snips. I love that this particular pattern is foiled in both rose gold and silver – so, so pretty.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A sweet welcome to the team card made using the Flowering Foils dsp and the So Very Vellum card

The flower was coloured in using the following Blends Markers – Pool Party combo, Soft Sea Foam combo, Daffodil Delight combo and light Bermuda Bay.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A sweet welcome to the team card made using the Flowering Foils dsp and the So Very Vellum card

Taking the Thick Whisper White card base I added a panel of the diagonally cut So Very Vellum card stock using a Snail at the top where the flower would hide it.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A sweet welcome to the team card made using the Flowering Foils dsp and the So Very Vellum card

I added the shorter Bermuda Bay strip above the vellum piece using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The coloured flower was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A sweet welcome to the team card made using the Flowering Foils dsp and the So Very Vellum card

I added some dots in Bermuda Bay ink using a stamp from the Dressed to Impress stamp set as I felt the white above the flower was too stark.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A sweet welcome to the team card made using the Flowering Foils dsp and the So Very Vellum card

The sentiment from the Welcome to the Team stamp set was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto the thin strip of Whisper White. This was then trimmed down before being added to the card with the liquid adhesive. I finished the card with a scattering of Iridescent Sequins.

Such a pretty card, I hope you like it.

Painted Seasons used for Team Training

Posted on February 17, 2019February 16, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made as a Make and take project for our Team Training event and using the new Painted Seasons stamp set. This gorgeous stamp set is only available as one of the free Sale-a-Bration choices with a £90 order until the 1^st – 31^st March. It comes as a bundle with a gorgeous pack of designer series paper which I am not using today.

Making the Painted Seasons card

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

I started with a scarp piece of Whisper White cardstock. I inked up the stunning flower image with Poppy Parade ink and before stamping it down I added Cherry Cobbler ink in the centre and around the edges of the flower using a Sponge Dauber. This is a distINKtive syle stamp so looks very 3 dimensional when stamped and the added darker shade of red really enhances this look. I die cut the image using my Big Shot and the co-ordinating Four Seasons Framelit dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

I placed my die cut flower onto a layer of Whisper White measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜”, inked up the larger leaf image with Mossy Meadow ink, moved the flower slightly and stamped the image down. I then stamped again without re-inking. I repeated this step on the other side of the flower. The smaller leaf image was then added in 1^st and 2^nd generation Sahara Sand ink. I then added the little clusters of tiny stars in 1^st and 2^nd generation Mint Macaron ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

I wrapped a piece of retired Mossy Meadow Thick Baker’s Twine around the stamped layer and tied in a bow. I had planned to use the lovely Old Olive Linen Thread but couldn’t find it………..

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

I rounded the upper left corner of the stamped layer and a layer of Poppy Parade cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” using the Detailed Trio Punch and adhered the two layers together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same adhesive to add this panel to a Mossy Meadow card base with a rounded upper left corner. The die cut flower was then added over the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

The sentiment from the Needle and Thread stamp set was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. I stamped the flower and the larger leaf onto a panel of Whisper White (with a rounded upper left corner) and added this to the inside of the card. The same images were then stamped on a Whisper White Envelope.

I love this stamp set, the images are absolutely stunning……don’t miss out.

So Hoppy Together

Posted on January 4, 2019January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have had fun playing with the sweet new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called So Hoppy Together. This is gorgeous stamp set is one of the free choices available with a £45 order and there are so many lovely things on offer this year.

Making the card

I started by stamping the cute little frog in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a 3” by 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies. Whilst I had the Big Shot out I also cut a slightly larger scalloped circle die from Daffodil Delight cardstock.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – sweet birthday card made using the So Hoppy Together stamp set

I coloured in my frog using the Shaded Spruce Combo, Daffodil Delight Combo & Light Petal Pink Blends Pens. I stamped a few little flies at the top of the circle and added some googly eyes to the frog.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – sweet birthday card made using the So Hoppy Together stamp set

I chose a piece of Garden Impressions dsp, cut it at 5⅞” by 4⅛” and cut it on the diagonal. I added half of the dsp to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a ¼” strip of Pacific Point cardstock to the top of the dsp using the same glue.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – sweet birthday card made using the So Hoppy Together stamp set

The sentiment from the Family & Friends stamp set was stamped along the top of the Pacific Point cardstock in Pacific Point ink and added the circle topper on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
