I am sharing a gorgeous card today made using the Daisy Delight stamp set and co-ordinating Daisy Punch.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Daisy Delight stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I stamped 2 of the large daisy images with Daffodil Delight ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and punched them out with the Daisy Punch. I cut each daisy in half, layered the 2 pieces together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and turned them into Cone Flowers! Cool huh…….. I stamped 2 daisy flower centres using Chocolate Chip ink and punched then out with the ½” circle punch before adding them to the daisy flowers with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped 2 of the longer flower stems in Old Olive ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock and added the cone flowers overhanging the sides. I added a layer of Old Olive cardstock behind the Whisper White panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The sentiment from the At home With You stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink before adding the whole panel to a Thick Whisper White card base.
Such a simple, clean looking card, I love it.

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.

When I saw Embossing Paste in the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue which launched earlier this week I jumped up and down with excitement. This is something I have been dying to try out and I couldn’t wait to get it in my hot little hands on it. Unfortunately it wasn’t available on the demo pre-order – yes, we can get our hands on product a month before our customers – whoop, whoop – perks of being a demonstrator. I planned to use it at our recent team training event so had to borrow another brand from a fellow team member to play with. This is one of the cards I demonstrated at that event.
I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and taped it down, to a non-stick craft mat, on all 4 sides using some washi tape. I then placed my Happy Patterns Decorative Mask over the top and taped it down in the same way; you really don’t want either the cardstock or stencil to move. Next I took a heaped tsp of Embossing Paste from the jar and popped it onto the craft sheet in one corner before adding a couple of drops of Lemon Lime Twist Re-inker and mixing together, all I can say is WOW, it looked fantastic. I didn’t have the proper Embossing Paste Tools so made do with small, cake decorating palette knife and an old credit card.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful You meets Embossing Paste by Stampin’ Up!
Taking a dollop of the coloured Embossing Paste, I spread it over the stencil, starting at the top of the Whisper White cardstock and scraping it down towards the bottom. I then, carefully lifted away the stencil and set the Whisper White panel aside to dry – it took about 15 mins but I could have sped that up if I had used my Heat Tool.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful You meets Embossing Paste by Stampin’ Up!
While the Embossing paste was drying I stamped the image from the gorgeous Beautiful You stamp set onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and onto a scrap piece of Pop of Pink dsp – now sadly retired, but any dsp would work. Using my Big Shot I die cut the Whisper White piece using an oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits before die cutting a slightly larger scalloped oval from the Layering Oval Framelits from Melon Mambo cardstock. I layered to 2 ovals together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. Taking a sharp pair of Scissors I trimmed out the dress and the hat from the lady stamped on the scrap of dsp. Using Tombow Liquid Adhesive I added the dress and hat to the Whisper White stamped panel, love the effect this paper piecing gives. I coloured under the brim of the hat with a Lemon Lime Twist Marker and used a Chocolate Chip Marker to colour her hair. I really like using the Calypso Coral Water Color Pencil and a Blender Pen to add a soft skin tone.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful You meets Embossing Paste by Stampin’ Up!
I took 2 pieces of Whisper White baker’s Twine and attached them to the back of the embossed panel and taped them in place. I brought the ends over the top of the panel and adhered them to the front of the panel using tape where they would be hidden by the oval piece. Using Tombow Liquid Adhesive, I added the now dry embossed panel to a layer of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock, having used the We Are Memory Keeper Corner Chomper to round the upper left corner of both pieces. The whole panel was then added to a Melon Mambo card base. The sentiment was stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. Finally I placed the oval on Stampin’ Dimensionals over the top of the Whisper White Baker’s Twine ends. Gorgeous, if I say so myself……..
I really enjoyed playing with embossing paste and have loads more ideas to try out.

It was my Mum’s birthday earlier this week and this is the card I made her using the gorgeous new Daisy Delight stamp set and co-ordinating Daisy Punch.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Daisy Delight stamp set and Daisy Punch
I stamped the large ‘daisy’ image twice on Whisper White cardstock using Berry Burst ink and punched both flowers out using the new co-ordinating Daisy Punch. I layered the daisies, one on top of the other, offset to give a full daisy flower and stuck them together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I used my Bone Folder to curl the petals adding dimension to the flower. I added one of the sparkly new Gold Faceted Gems to the centre for a bit of bling.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Daisy Delight stamp set and Daisy Punch
I cut a layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock 5⅛” by 3⅝” and die cut the branch from the Seasonal Layers dies using my Big Shot, making sure that the die was well away from the edges of the panel. I ran a 5” by 3 ½” panel of Whisper White cardstock through the Big Shot with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder and added it to the layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock I had used to die cut the branches. This is a great trick for making the most of our lovely cardstock and no-one will ever know……..except you………. Before adhering the panels I used my WRMK’s Corner Chomper to round the upper right corner of both panels and the card base.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Daisy Delight stamp set and Daisy Punch
I placed my daisy in the lower left hand corner and added the branches behind, trimming them down until I was happy with the look. I thought it still needed something so rummaged through my spare die cut leaves and found 2 from the Botanical Builders dies cut from Wild Wasabi cardstock and again cut them apart to fill the space around the daisy. When I was happy with the placement I carefully glued everything down using Tombow Liquid Adhesive leaving the flower until last. Finally I stamped the sentiment from the At Home With You stamp set in Berry Burst ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it out using scissors.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Daisy Delight stamp set and Daisy Punch
I was really happy with this card but thought I would try making it using a more open embossed background. I chose the new Oh My Stars Embossing Folder and also changed the leaves by stamping the leaf from the Daisy Delight stamp set in 1st and 2nd generation Wild Wasabi ink. Let me know which one you like better.

Today I am sharing a sweet card I made for my lovely friends, Lyndsay and Richard celebrating their wedding anniversary. I wanted to use the Sunshine Wishes dies for this card and teamed it up with the Jar of Love stamp set and Every Day Jars dies.
I used Thick Whisper White cardstock for my card base and burnished the crease using my Bone Folder. I cut a Whisper White cardstock panel 5” by 3⅜” and a Berry Burst cardstock panel 5¼” by 3⅝” and layered them together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Sunshine Wishes dies and jar of Love stamp set
I die cut the gorgeous open heart shape using my Big Shot and the Sunshine Wishes dies from a piece of Whisper White cardstock and added it to the prepared panel using dots of Tombow Liquid Adhesive I then coated it with Clear Wink of Stella to add some glitter to the card.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Sunshine Wishes dies and Jar of Love Stamp set
I stamped the double flower from the Jar of Love stamp set in Fresh Fig ink and So Saffron ink using the 2nd or 3rd generation for the solid base layer and 1st generation for the detail on top. I stamped the smaller individual flower in Berry Burst ink, Dapper Denim ink and Powder Pink ink before die cutting all the flowers using the Every Day Jars dies. The leaves were stamped in the gorgeous Lemon Lime Twist ink and die cut in the same way. I then had a happy time arranging my flowers and leaves before adhering them down with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set in Berry Burst ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it out, flagging the end, using scissors. To finish off I added Basic Pearls to each flower centre and a scattering of pearls around the heart.
I am really happy with the card, it is so delicate and fresh looking and I hope Lyndsay and Richard like it.

I have been playing with the gorgeous Eastern Beauty stamp set and co-ordinating Eastern Medallion dies and thought I would share one of the cards I made with you today.
I went for a different shaped card base for this card by cutting an 8¼” by 8” piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock and scored it in half at 4” to make a longer, thinner card.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Eastern Beauty stamp set and Eastern Medallion Dies by Stampin Up
I cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock to 7¾” by 3½” and a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock 7½” by 3¼”. I rounded the upper left and lower right hand corner of both panels using my Project Life Corner Rounder. Taking the Night of Navy panel I layered up my Eastern Medallion Dies, one inside the other, largest to smallest in the centre of the panel taking care not to go near the edge. I added a Layering Circle die around the ‘medallion’ and ran the panel and dies through the Big Shot. I repeated the same die cutting on the Lemon Lime Twist panel. This is a great way to make the most of your cardstock as no-one will ever know each panel had a large shape cut from it. The result is 2 gorgeous intricate ‘doily’ like shapes which I then cut in half using my Stampin’ Trimmer.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Eastern Medallion stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I cut a Whisper White layer 7¼” by 3” and stamped the ‘starburst’ type shape in alternating Night of Navy ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink about ⅓rd of the way up the panel then stamped the sentiment from Thankful Thoughts stamp set just below in Night of Navy ink. I added the cut medallions, staggered, and on either side of the panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I then layered the Whisper White panel on the Lemon Lime Twist panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and added both to the Night of Navy Layer. I added the whole piece to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I absolutely love this card and I am really liking the night of Navy, Lemon Lime Twist colour combo.

Over the weekend my husband set off on a business trip to China, somewhere neither of us has been and even more exciting because I will be flying out to join him for a short holiday at the end of the month……..whoop whoop. He was advised to take some small token gifts with him to hand out whilst he is there. The gifts have to be small, pack-able, fairly robust and not likely to melt as it is very hot in Beijing at the moment. That ruled out chocolate and biscuits which are the things I would usually go for in this situation. After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing he decided on Earl Grey teabags. For my inspiration I turned to a swap I received at Team Training last week from my friend Susan – aka Crafty Ducky Doodah – https://craftyduckydoodah.blogspot.co.uk/ check out her 14th May blog to see the original. In typical CASEing (copy and selectively edit) fashion I took Susan’ idea and made it wider and slightly shorter, used different clours and decoration.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Sending Love DSP by Stampin’ Up!
I wanted to use the colour Red which is considered to be very lucky in China so chose the Sending Love dsp stack to decorate the matchbook covers. I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to 7” by 2¾”, scored it using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool at ½” and 3¾” on the long side.
I folded on my score lines and burnished with my Bone Folder to get a crisp edge. Using the Handheld Stapler, sadly now retired I stapled the ½” piece in the middle to make the flap which holds the Teabag in position. I cut a panel of Sending Love dsp to 3” by 2½” for matting on the front panel and another at 2½” by ¼” to mat on the narrow flap. I used Tombow Liquid Adhesive to adhere the dsp.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Sending Love DSP by Stampin’ Up!
I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set using Real Red ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using my Big Shot and the smallest stitched oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies and added it to the front panel using Tombow. I punched a Bitty Butterfly from Vellum cardstock and added it to the sentiment piece using a Mini Glue Dot and finished off by adding a Basic Rhinestone.
I think these are really cute, hope you do too.

I have been playing today with the Fabulous Flamingo stamp set. Considering I was a bit underwhelmed when I received this stamp set in the Prize patrol at Onstage in April, I seem to be using it quite a lot; it has definitely grown on me.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Fabulous Flamingo stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I stamped the ‘feathery outline’ image from the stamp set using Archival Basic Gray ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I then inked up the ‘solid body’ image with Flirty Flamingo Ink, stamped it once on my Grid Paper and then onto the ‘feathery image’ give a paler pink shade. Lastly I covered the legs of the ‘full flamingo’ image with a post it note and inked up the main body part with the Flirty Flamingo ink, I didn’t want pink legs! I removed the post it note and stamped the image, full strength over the top of the images I have previously stamped. I then stamped the separate ‘leg’ image in Basic Gray ink. The flamingo was now complete and looked great.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Fabulous Flamingo stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I added the water using Marina Mist ink, reeds using Wild Wasabi ink and the leafy boughs using Old Olive ink. I layered the stamped panel onto a panel of Wild Wasabi cardstock using Tombow Liquid Adhesive before adding the whole panel to a Thick Whisper White panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. It looked a little plain so, I added Clear Wink of Stella to the body of the Flamingo after all, everything looks better with a bit of bling. I then did a splatter technique by smacking the Wink of Stella pen against a marker pen to scatter some glitter speckles randomly on the topper piece.
Check back to see what else I make with this set, I have some great ideas.

Thank you to all the lovely ladies who attended my classes last week and used the Nailed it stamp set and co-ordinating Build It framelits to make some lovely masculine style cards. I chose this set with the upcoming Father’s day in June in mind but you could also use it for ladies who like a bit of DIY, maybe pairing it with brighter colours.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Nailed It by Stampin’ Up!
The first card we made had a Very Vanilla card base. We used the bolt and screw stamps from the Nailed It stamp set to stamp a border down the right had side of the card front using Archival Basic Gray and Delightful Dijon ink. We embossed a panel of Very Vanilla using the fab Hexagon Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder and then had a discussion about whether to use the front or back as both sides are gorgeous. We stamped the sentiment from the Nailed It stamp set in Archival Basic Back ink. We stamped the handle of the hammer using Archival Basic Gray onto Very Vanilla cardstock, coloured it in using the Delightful Dijon marker and used the Big Shot and the Build It framelits to die cut the stamped handle. At the same time we die cut the head of the hammer and the spanner using Silver Foil cardstock and adhered the handle to the head of the hammer using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. A strip of paper from the Urban Underground dsp pack was added on the left side of the card front before we added the embossed panel on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment was placed on the front of the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the hammer and spanner tucked in behind. We added a couple of bolts and screws die cut from Silver Foil cardstock to finish.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Nailed It by Stampin’ Up!
The second card started with a Basic Black card base. We added a strip of Washi Tape to the top leaving a ¼” gap. On a Very Vanilla panel we added 2 banners made from Urban Underground dsp, the ends were flagged using the Banner Triple Punch. We stamped 2 screwdrivers from the Nailed It stamp set and die cut them using the Build It Framelits, we also die cut the shaft of one screwdriver from the Silver Foil cardstock and stuck it onto the handle of one of the screwdrivers. The sentiment from the Badges and Banners stamp set was stamped in Delightful Dijon ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock and punched out using the Badge Punch. As before the tools were tucked behind the sentiment on the card front and bolts and screws were added for decoration.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Nailed it by Stampin’ Up!
Lastly we made a gift card using Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅞” by 4⅛” and scored on the long side at 3”and 6” using the scoring blade on the Stampin’ Trimmer. We then inserted the short side, with the 1⅞” panel at the top into the Envelope Punch Board and punched at 3”. We then trimmed off the excess piece to give a tab. We decorated it using tools from the Nailed It stamp set and a panel embossed using the Hexagon Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.

These projects were such fun to make and will hopefully be appreciated by the men in our lives on Father’s Day.

This is a card I have made for my Aunt who is celebrating a special birthday this week. I used the gorgeous and sadly retiring Grateful Bunch stamp set as well as the Number of Years stamp set to make a lovely summery looking card.
I wanted a square card so cut the Flirty Flamingo cardstock to 11 inches, scored and folded it at 5½ inches and burnished the fold with my Bone Folder. I cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to 5 inches square and I stamped the ‘leafy’ image from the Grateful Bunch stamp set using Pear Pizzazz ink twice in the left lower and right upper corners.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Large Number and Grateful Bunch stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I stamped the numbers from the Number of Years stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink and die cut them with my Big Shot using the co-ordinating Large Number framelits. I die cut a stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes dies using Whisper White cardstock and a slightly larger scalloped circle, using the Layering Circles Framelits and Peakaboo Peach cardstock. I then layered them together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the ‘th’ in Pear Pizzazz ink and added the die cut numbers with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the die cut circles. The circle topper was then added to the stamped panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive, covering the ends of the leafy images.

The Sentiment was stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink. I stamped a variety of medium and small flowers from the Grateful Bunch stamp set in Peakaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo and Wisteria Wonder on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock before punching them out with the co-ordinating Blossom Bunch Punch. I added the punched flowers in the lower left and upper right hand corner in a random manner before adding an Enamel Shape to each of the flower centres. I scattered some extra enamel shapes on the topper before adhering it to a panel of Peakaboo Peach cardstock. I decorated a Whisper White panel for the inside of the card using the leaf image and added some punched flowers.

I made an envelope for the card using a sheet of Flirty Flamingo dsp from the In-Color paper stack using the Envelope Punch Board adhering it with Fast Fuse Adhesive.
Such a pretty card. I really hope my Aunt likes it.
