High Tide meets Colorful Seasons

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card I made recently for one of the lovely ladies in my book club that had a special birthday earlier this month and it had to be large enough to for us all to sign.

I knew that Sue had spent her actual birthday with her family and friends on the beach at Southwold so I chose to make the card using the High Tide stamp set and the sweet deckchair from the Colorful Seasons stamp set.

Ingredients to make the High Tide card

Blueberry Bushel cardstock – 10” by 5½” scored at 4¼” and 8½” on the long side
Blueberry Bushel cardstock -7” by 3½” scored at 3½” on the long side
Whisper White cardstock – 5¼” by 4” x 3 – 2 for the inside and one for the back panel
Whisper White cardstock – 5⅜” by 4⅛” for the outside
Whisper White cardstock – 5⅜” by 1⅜” for the outside
Whisper White cardstock – 3¼” by 3¼” x 3 for the mini card
Pineapple punch cardstock – 5⅜” by 4⅛” for the back panel
Pineapple punch cardstock – 3⅜” by 3⅜” for the mini card
2018 – 2020 In-Color dsp stack

I began by taking the 3 – 3¼” by 3¼” panels of Whisper White. I stamped the ‘sand’ along the bottom of each panel in 2nd and 3rd generation Pineapple Punch ink. I added the deckchair frame in Basic Gray ink and seat in Blueberry Bushel ink.

On the front panel I masked off an area for the sun using a punched Post It Note circle. Taking a wedge of sponge I added Balmy Blue to create the sky using a very light touch, slowly building up the colour. When I was happy with the colour I removed the Post It mask and added Pineapple Punch ink using a Sponge Dauber to create the sun. The marsh grass was added using 2nd generation Mossy Meadow ink.

I sponged Balmy Blue ink onto the other 2 Whisper White panels  but left them otherwise plain to give room for signatures. I rounded one corner on each of the stamped panels and added each of them to a 3⅜” by 3⅜” panel of Pineapple Punch cardstock with identical rounded corners using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I glued the front panel and the left hand inside panel to the Blueberry Bushel mini card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I set the inside right had panel to one side to add later.

Next, I added the 2 pieces of dsp to the larger Whisper White panels and adhered them to the front of the larger base card.  About half way down the smaller right had panel I stuck a small strip of   Tear & Tape and adhered a length of Blueberry Bushel ⅛” ribbon. The mini card was then placed on top of the  narrow panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking the remaining large Whisper White panels I stamped and sponged on the beach scenes and glued 2 panels inside the card base and the last panel was added to the 5⅜” by 4⅛” piece of Pineapple punch cardstock. This entire panel was then adhered to the back of the card covering the strip of ribbon.

Some Tear & Tape was then stuck on the right hand inside panel of the mini card and the last panel added over top. The card was then tied closed.

I am really happy with this card and hope the ladies like it.

Gorgeous Autumnal colours for an anniversary card

Autumnal Colorful Seasons for an anniversary card

Posted on by

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gorgeous jewl colours for a good luck card

Banners For You makes a good luck card

Posted on by

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

Banners for you in Autumnal colours

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 2nd 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 1st & 2nd 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 2nd 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.

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.

Congratulation Alaska incentive trip achiever

Congratulations Alaska Incentive Trip Achiever

Posted on by

Today, I am sharing a card I made for my lovely upline Mikaela to congratulate her on achieving the Alaska incentive trip. She has put so much time and effort into winning this trip for herself and her family and so deserves it. She is an amazing mentor and team leader. Go Mikaela…………x

Congratulation Alaska incentive trip achiever

AS the trip is to Alaska the card had to have an icy theme so I started by using the snowflakes from the, oh so versatile, Colorful Seasons stamp set. I stamped them in Island Indigo ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 7⅞” by 3⅞”. I knew the card base had to be long to accommodate all those letters……….. I took the stamped panel to the Big Shot and die cut the letters A, L, A, S, K, A from the panel using the Large Letter framelit dies. I then ran the same letters through again using lots of scrap Whisper White cardstock until I had a total of 4 of each of the letters – 12 A’s in total…….

Using Tombow Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped layer with the cut out letters onto a panel of the gorgeous, new Champagne Glimmer paper. I took each letter in turn and adhered 3 Whisper White die cuts to the back to form a stack of each letter 4 pieces high; before adding each letter back into the appropriate space on the stamped panel. I love the dimension the stacks of letters give to this project.

Simple Snowflake card

I added some of the tiny stars from the Star of Light stamp set in So Saffron ink along the top above the letters and glued the whole panel to an Island Indigo card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added a 7⅞” by 3⅞” piece of Whisper White cardstock to the inside having stamped down the edge using the snowflakes from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and the Snowflake Sentiments stamp set in Island Indigo, Pacific Point, Marina Mist and Pool party ink. I added the sentiment from the Lift Me Up stamp set which seemed so appropriate in Island Indigo ink. I stamped the envelope using the same stamps and colours.

Filigree Leaf from Seasonal Layers Framelits

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a clean and simple thinking of you card made using the Seasonal Layers framelit dies.

I started with a small piece of Whisper White cardstock which I die cut using one of the squares from the Stitched Shapes framelit dies and my Big Shot. Using an Aquapainter and my Lemon Lime Twist ink pad I added a light wash of Lemon Lime Twist to the die cut square being careful not to add too much water. I concentrated the colour at the bottom and let it go lighter as it neared the top.

Whilst the watercolour layer dried I die cut the beautiful filigree leaf from a scrap of Chocolate Chip cardstock. Next, I mounted the Whisper White watercoloured panel to a square of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and added the die cut leaf using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. Taking 5 six inch lengths of Copper Metallic Thread I tied a multi-loop bow and added it to the base of the leaf near the stem with a Mini Glue Dot. I added a Glitter  Enamel dot to disguise the knot of the bow.

I placed the completed topper onto a card base of Thick Whisper White and stamped the sentiment form the Colorful Seasons stamp set using Chocolate Chip ink. I then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the square piece and added it above the sentiment.

Such a simple card but so effective. Hope you like it.

Colorful Seasons for a beautiful Summery card

Posted on by

Playing with another new stamp set today it is called Colorful Seasons and as the name suggests it has images which cover the whole year from Spring flowers, through Summer deck chairs, Autumn leaves and Winter snowflakes. What great value for money. There is also a co-ordinating die set called Seasonal Layers which I am not using today.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the frame of the deckchair from the Colorful Seasons stamp set in Archival Basic Gray ink. Using Sahara Sand ink I stamped the ‘swooshy’ stamp from the Touches of Texture stamp set to give the illusion of ground under the deckchair. I used the ‘kissing technique’ to add the fun pattern to the cloth of the deckchair. To do this I inked up the solid deckchair cloth image in Blushing Bride ink and inked up the intricate floral stamp from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set and ‘kissed’ the 2 together before stamping the deckchair cloth image onto the stamped frame. Absolutely love this effect, it looks fabulous.

I stamped the small branch in the upper left hand corner using Sahara Sand ink and added the buds in Watermelon Wonder ink, sadly now retired. I rounded the upper right hand corner of the stamped piece and added it, using Tombow Liquid Adhesive to a layer of Basic Gray cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in Watermelon Wonder ink onto a layer of Whisper White cardstock, just over half way up and added the stamped piece on Stampin’ Dimensionals just below. This panel was then added to a card base of Watermelon Wonder cardstock.

Such a cool looking card, all ready for a long hot summer………….we can but dream……
