Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where we are paring it right back to stamps, ink and paper. I have used the gorgeous Painted Lavender stamp set to make my card. This stamp set will be available in the January – April 2024 Mini Catalogue.

Colours in this project are:

To recreate the simply stamped lavender card, you will need:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gorgeous Grape card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White card & Pool Party card

The bunch of stems from the Painted Lavender stamp set, was stamped in Old Olive ink onto the 4¾” by 3” panel of Basic White card.

The spray of flowers were stamped on top of the stems in Gorgeous Grape ink. I stamped it again, without re-inking and slightly rotated.

The butterflies were stamped in Pool Party ink. At this point I stamped a small sentiment directly onto the panel ……… and it wasn’t straight……. Aaaahhh. I glued the stamped panel to the Gorgeous Grape layer.

The spray of flowers was stamped in 2^nd generation, or stamped off, Fresh Freesia ink in the upper left and lower right corners of the Fresh Freesia card front. The decorated panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped a different, slightly larger sentiment onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed it down. It didn’t quite cover the squint sentiment so I added a layer of Pool Party card before adding it to the card front.

A trio of Tinsel Gems completed the card.

Birds

Posted on October 22, 2020October 20, 2020 by Mo Rootes

I couldn’t wait to try out the Birds & Branches stamp set and this is what I have come up with for my first play.

To recreate the Birds & Branches card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 4⅛” by 2⅞”
Cinnamon Cider – 4⅛” by ½”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I stamped the long branch in Cinnamon Cider ink and added a side branch. The detailed bird was stamped in Old Olive ink and the full bird in Balmy Blue and I added the bird’s feet in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Ag the Birds & Branches stamp set and Autumnal colours

I felt the panel was too bare so I added more branches in the same Cinnamon Cider ink. The ‘leaves’ were inked using the following Stampin’ Write Markers – Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Bumblebee.

Using a Sponge, I lightly added Balmy Blue ink to take away the starkness of the background.

Using the Ornate Borders Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut out the dotted border from the strip of Cinnamon Cider ink and added it to the back of the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The First Frost stamp set by Stampin' Up! used for a simply simple stamped card

Simply Simple Stamping

Posted on March 20, 2019March 18, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made for the latest team challenge the theme of which ‘Simple Stamping’. This was much more difficult than I expected as we were only allowed to use stamps, ink and cardstock.

Making a Simple card

You will need;
Crumb Cake card base
Mango Melody 5½” by 3¾”
Very Vanilla 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Very Vanilla 5⅝” by 3⅞” – for the inside

www.crafty-rootes.com – Simply Simple Stamping for a sweet card using the First Frost stamp set

I started with a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock and a stamp set, in this case I chose the First Frost stamp set which has carried over from the Autumn/Winter catalogue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Simply Simple Stamping for a sweet card using the First Frost stamp set

I used Mossy Meadow and Mango Melody Markers to apply ink to the stamp, huffed on it to re-moisten the ink and stamped it onto the Very Vanilla cardstock. I really, really love this stamp it is so delicate and dainty looking and using markers is a great way to apply different colours of ink to the same stamp.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Simply Simple Stamping for a sweet card using the First Frost stamp set

The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink and the stamped panel was added to the layer of Mango Melody cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Simply Simple Stamping for a sweet card using the First Frost stamp set

This was then glued to the Crumb Cake card base using the same adhesive. I added the other layer of Very Vanilla inside the card and used the same stamped image for this inside layer and for the envelope.

I really struggled not add embellishments to this card or round a corner…………but I really like the clean and simple look of the card. What do you think?
