Petal Passion Stamp-a-Stack

Posted on January 30, 2018January 29, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Saturday saw some of my lovely ladies gathering for another Stamp-a-Stack. This time their pack included the gorgeous black and white Petal Passion Designer Series Paper and a pack of Black Rhinestones. The black and white paper is so versatile: you can colour it with Marker Pens or the new Stampin’ Blends. You can stamp on it or add colour with sponges, daubers or Sponge Brayers.

Gorgeous jewl colours for a good luck card

Banners For You makes a good luck card

Posted on October 6, 2017October 5, 2017 by Mo Rootes

I have been using the Banners For You stamp set today to make a good luck card for a friend.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock 4 ½” by 3” which I die cut using the Big Shot and the 2^nd largest die from the Lots of Labels framelits. I then took 2 of the leaf images from the Banners For You stamp set and the smallest leaf from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and randomly stamped them onto the die cut label using Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler inks. To get a depth of colour I used 1^st & 2^nd generation stamping. To fill in some of the gaps I used the dotty image from the Banners For You stamp set and Pumpkin Pie ink. I die cut a 2^nd label in the same size from Crushed Curry cardstock, cut it across the middle with my Paper Trimmer and glued it to the stamped piece using Tombow Liquid Adhesive with the some of the colour showing at the top and the bottom.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I ran a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” through the Big Shot with the Layered Leaves Textured Embossing Folder before adhering the piece to the front of an Old Olive card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the banner from the Banners For You Stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it out using the Bunch of Banners framelits. I then stamped the greeting from the same stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the die cut banner. I die cut the banner again from a scrap of Old Olive cardstock and glued the 2 together slightly off set. The banner was then added to the stamped label using Stampin’ Dimensionals before the whole piece was added to the card front using Tombow. To finish the card of I added a scattering of Glitter Enamel Dots.

Love the Autumn colours of this card. I hope my friend likes it and that it brings her luck.

3 cards for a class using Painted Harvest stamp set

Painted Harvest Classes – 3 beautiful projects

Posted on September 15, 2017September 15, 2017 by Mo Rootes

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

Autumnal thank you card using Painted harvest Stamp set

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 2^nd 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 Thoughtful Banners 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.

Gorgeous Painted Harvest Christmas cards

www.carfty-rootes.com – Painted Harvest by Stampin’ Up!

The 3^rd 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.

Delicate thank you card using Touches of Texture

Posted on June 30, 2017June 28, 2017 by Mo Rootes

This is a sweet and simple thank you card made using the Touches of Texture stamp set.

I stamped the dainty flower image from the set onto a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock using Early Espresso ink. I coloured the flowers and buds using a So Saffron Marker and the leaves with an Old Olive Marker keeping it as simple as possible.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Touches of Texture by Stampin’ Up!

The Very Vanilla panel was added to a layer of Old Olive cardstock using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped some Linen Thread 3 times around the topper and tied in a bow at the front before adding the whole panel to a So Saffron card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a sentiment from the Banners For You stamp set in Old Olive ink. To finish the card I added some Old Olive Enamel Shapes from the Brights collection.

I hope you like today’s project.

Envelope Punch Board boxes to hold little treats from Amsterdam for my team

Posted on April 12, 2017April 12, 2017 by Mo Rootes

Oops meant to post this yesterday but seem to have got my days muddled up………don’t you hate when that happens……….Still better late than never. Here are some cute little boxes I made to hold some choccy treats for my team members as they were unable to come with me to Onstage in Amsterdam. I had to share the love and chocolate always hits the spot.

I divided the chocolates so that all my team members had the same number – don’t want any fighting, measured the pile of chocolate to work out the size of paper I needed to make the box and after a lot of head scratching I decided to use the Envelope Punch Board. I went to a fantastic site – http://thecraftyowl.co.uk/boxbuster – entered the measurements and the amazing calculator told me that I needed a piece of dsp measuring 5¼” by 5¼” – I used the retired ‘Inside The Lines’ dsp for to make my boxes but any dsp would work. The box buster is such an amazing tool created by Joanne James aka The Crafty Owl and I was lucky enough to meet her, along with her team mate Helen whilst at Onstage. We are also going to be sharing team training with Joanne’s team in May which should be fun.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Envelope Punch Board project using Stampin’ Up! product

Using the Envelope Punch Board I punched and scored at 1 ½” and 2 ½” then turned the dsp 90⁰, matched up the 2 score lines, punched and scored again and repeated all the way around.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Envelope Punch Board project using Stampin’ Up! product

Then I folded and burnished the score lines and cut up the 4 tabs on the long sides before adding glue (Fast Fuse Adhesive) to the tabs and adhering them to the short sides forming the base of the box. I popped in the chocolates and folded the 2 small side tabs in, one of the large tabs then folded inwards with the tip tucked in. The remaining side then folded over to close the top. It is slightly domed and the point is folded down and held closed with a Mini Glue Dot.

Once closed, I wrapped a length of twine, I used retired stock, 3 times around the box and tied in a bow. I stamped the sentiment from the Banners For You stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using a sweet little tag from the Cutie Pie Thinlet dies and tied it on using White Baker’s Twine.

Amsterdam Onstage Live – here we come……….

Posted on April 4, 2017April 4, 2017 by Mo Rootes

Every 6 months Stampin’ Up! holds an event known as Onstage Live or Onstage Local in its 3 world markets – USA/Canada, Australia/New Zealand or Europe – UK, Germany, Austria, France, The Netherlands. Onstage Live is a 3 day extravaganza held once every 18 months in each of the 3 markets. Co-ordinating with this event there are multiple 1 day Onstage Local events in Germany, Austria, France, The Netherlands, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Onstage is where we demonstrators get together to drool over a new catalogue, watch demonstrations of new product, play with new product, have business related training sessions, get lots of freebies and network with other demos, sharing ideas and tips. It is always great fun and we all go home buzzing with ideas and inspiration

This week Onstage Live is happening in Amsterdam and I am going – whoop whoop – along with my lovely upline Mikaela and 4 other team members – we are going to have sssoooooo much fun.

One of the things many of us do at Onstage is called swapping – basically we bring along something we have designed and swap it for something made by someone else. It is a great way to come home with new ideas. We have to use current Stampin’ Up! product and often people make a card front rather than a full card. People also make bookmarks, boxes, bags, decorated clips etc……. you would not believe how ingenious and versatile peoples swaps can be. We also put a ‘recipe’ on the back of each with our name.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Swirly Bird by Stampin Up for Onstage swaps

This year I have made 60 card fronts as my swaps, easier to take on a flight than the little bags I made for November’s Telford swaps. I cut strips of Whisper White Cardstock and stamped 3 – 4 kites using the Swirly Bird stamp set on each using a mixed variety of the colours listed below – no 2 card fronts are the same. I added a strip of either Chocolate Chip or Peakaboo Peach cardstock using Tombow Liquid Adhesive to the left hand side of the stamped piece and adhered this to a layer of Peakaboo Peach, Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Flirty Flamingo or Sweet Sugarplum cardstock.

The greeting comes from the Banners For You stamp set and is stamped in Chocolate Chip ink onto Whisper White cardstock before being die cut using the Bunch of Banners framelit dies and added to the card front using Stampin Dimensionals.

Can’t wait to start swapping with other demo’s in Amsterdam, hope like like my swaps.

If you would like to come to the next Onstage in November 2017 then contact me for information about joining my team or click on the ‘Shop Online’ button and follow the ’Join the Fun’ link. I would love to have you in my team.

Totally Trees – Happy Anniversary

Posted on October 30, 2016October 30, 2016 by Mo Rootes

Totally Trees is a gorgeous stamp set from the Autumn/Winter catalogue which totally passed me by on my first look through. How did that happen……. To be honest I probably got side-tracked by all the gorgeous Christmas stuff….

This week I needed to make an anniversary card for some friends. They love their garden and are big fans of being outdoors so Totally Trees seemed like a perfect choice.

The 4 trees were stamped in a line in Chocolate Chip Ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped trees 1 and 4 first as this gave me better spacing for trees 2 and 3. I wanted to show the tree in all seasons, starting with spring I planned to

Tree 1 – Spring, the leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink and tiny blossoms were added using the small spray of leaves and Pink Pirouette ink. Tree 2 – Summer, the leaves are stamped using Cucumber Crush ink. In hindsight I would probably use Garden Green which is less bright. Tree 3 – Autumn, I used the small spray of leaves again and Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Delightful Dijon and Pumpkin Pie Inks. Tree 4 – Winter, as many trees are deciduous I left this tree leafless.

I ‘grounded’ the trees using 3^rd generation Chocolate Chip Ink and stamped the sentiment, which comes from the Banners For You stamp set, using Delightful Dijon ink. The stamped piece was then added to a mat of Delightful Dijon cardstock and this panel was added with dimensionals to a Thick Whisper White card base.

I loved this card and this stamp set. I have so many ideas for Totally Trees again. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Hope you like the project I shared and that you will drop by again soon

Happy Anniversary Vintage Leaves

Posted on October 13, 2016October 13, 2016 by Mo Rootes

Today is my husband David and I’s anniversary, 32 years and it was a day very similar to today, cool and crisp but very sunny with beautiful light. Not that I was particularly aware of that on the day, I just remember being so thankful it wasn’t raining.

David loves nature and likes simple cards, nothing mucked about with. With that in mind I got out the Vintage Leaves stamp set and Leaflets Framelit dies and set about making him a card. I took as my inspiration a card made by the fabulous Dena Rekow of The Creativity Cave which involves a technique called ‘faux watercolour’. Here is the link to her technique video – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVMJStokKwQ

I stamped the leaves onto the lower ⅔’s of a piece of Watercolour cardstock in Wild Wasabi ink. To give different shades of the same colour I stamped again without re-inking and then again to get three progressively light shades of the same colour, this technique is called first, second and third generation stamping. Whilst each leaf was still damp I painted over it with an Aquapainter filled with plain water. Love the soft, subtle effect this gives to the leaves.

I added a piece of retired Wild Wasabi seam-binding ribbon to the stamped panel and mounted the panel onto a piece of the gorgeous Copper Foil cardstock then onto a Wild Wasabi card base. Carrying on the Copper theme, I stamped two of the leaves in Versamark ink, added Copper Embossing Powder and used my heat tool to melt the powder. The leaves were then die cut using the Leaflet Framelit dies. I added some Linen Thread to tie the stems of the leaves together and added them to the ribbon with a small wooden leaf from the retired Into The Woods elements. The sentiment comes from the Banners For You stamp set.

I am really happy with this card. Thank you for the inspiration Dena.

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today. Hope you like the project I shared and that you will drop by again soon.

Building Foxy Friends

Posted on July 7, 2016July 7, 2016 by Mo Rootes

Oh my word………… I have finally had time to try out the Foxy Friends stamp set and the Fox Builder Punch and I LOVE them.

For the first card I kept it simple stamping the fox in Cajun Craze ink onto a small piece of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the head again onto a piece of scrap Whisper White and punched it out with the Fox Builder punch. I stamped the wider of the ‘faces’ with Basic Black Archival ink and added it to the stamped fox using Dimensionals. So cute, I love him …. and it is definitely a him. I rounded the upper left hand corner and stamped the sentiment from the Banners For You stamp set using the Basic Black Archival ink. I layered the stamped piece onto some Cajun Craze cardstock leaving a 1/8” border.

Using the new Petal Burst embossing folder, I ran a 2” wide piece of Crumb Cake cardstock through the Big Shot. I adhered a thin strip of Cajun Craze down the long side of the debossed side of the Crumb Cake panel then added it to the left side of a Thick Whisper White card base before adding the stamped panel with dimensionals.

I made a landscape version for my second card. I added a thin piece of Old Olive cardstock to the embossed Crumb Cake panel and stuck it to the Thick Whisper White card base. I stamped the walking fox image in Cajun Craze and the tree trunk in Soft Suede onto scrap Whisper White card and fussy cut them out using scissors. The tree trunk was added to the card base with Tombow adhesive and the fox with Dimentionals. The mushrooms were stamped in Blushing Bride, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede ink.

The third fox was stamped in Calypso Coral ink and Basic Black Archival ink with the legs added in Soft Suede. I used a 2” punch to cut out the image. I backed this panel onto a circle cut from Soft Suede cardstock using the Layered Circles Framelits. The dsp comes from a retired pack called Best Year Ever and was added to a thin strip of Soft Suede card. I wrapped Linen Thread around the dsp panel before sticking it to a Crumb Cake base. The stamped circle was added with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Baby Bear stamp set in Soft Suede ink.

I really, really, really like this stamp set and its co-ordinating punch, so many other creatures to make. Watch out for more projects using this in the future.
