Beautiful Bouquet Spray for an anniversary

Posted on February 6, 2018February 4, 2018 by Mo Rootes

We are using the gorgeous Beautiful Bouquet for classes this month and I have been using the set over the last few days to make some samples for my inspiration table. I love the versatility of the set, it is so easy to make a clean and simple card or you can go mad with layering for a totally different look. I also love the many sentiments this set comes with; the font is so dainty, just beautiful.

I wanted to make a card featuring a floral spray rather than a bouquet and with a very simple colour palette. My starting point was the 2 circles which were left over from another project, one in Champagne Foil and the other from the Wood Textures dsp!

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bouquet stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I inked up the flower stamp with Night of Navy ink and stamped it 4 times onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock without re-inking. I love that we can get 3 or 4 different shades of the same colour from an ink pad. I did the same thing with Bermuda Bay ink and then die cut all of the flowers using the co-ordinating Beautiful Bunch dies. I love Lemon Lime Twist with both Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy and chose to die cut the leaves from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. I added a ½” strip of Night of Navy cardstock and a ⅜” strip of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock to ground the circles which I had adhered slightly off centre.

I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a Thick Whisper White cardstock and added the leaves and flowers using a combination of Tombow Liquid Adhesive and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wanted to add a little more shimmer to the card but could find something I liked; then I spotted some Champagne Foil scraps and used these to punch out small ⅛” and ¼” circles using the Hand Held Circle punches. I glued these down with Tombow.

Flowers For A Picnic

Posted on February 2, 2018February 1, 2018 by Mo Rootes

I have been playing today with the fantastic new Picnic for You stamp set. This is going to be such a versatile set and I have plans to use it for my Adult Education event in March; so watch this space……

For today’s’ card I focused on the leafy sprig and flower stamps rather than the more obvious picnic basket and food stamps. I am saving these for another day.

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅞” by 2” and stamped the leafy sprig image in Garden Green ink randomly all over it. I added the larger flower image in Flirty Flamingo ink and the smaller flower image in Peakaboo Peach ink, 1^st and 2^nd generation to add a little more texture.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Picnic With You by Stampin’ Up!

I adhered a 5⅞” by ⅜” strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock to the left hand side of the Very Vanilla panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and a strip of Peakaboo Peach cardstock the same size to the right hand side leaving a smaller border. I wasn’t happy with the panel as it didn’t stand out enough. I added a ¼” strip of Garden Green cardstock behind the Peakaboo Peach piece which pulled the panel together nicely.

I added a 5⅞” piece of Lace Trim to the right hand side for some added texture. I stamped the sentiment from the Picnic With You stamp set in Garden Green ink onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it using the Layering Ovals dies and added it to a Flirty Flamingo scalloped oval cut from the same set.

www,crafty-rootes.com – Picnic With You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I added the stamped panel to a Thick Very Vanilla card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and added the sentiment to the right side. I thought about adding some Basic Pearls but decided against it as I really like the clean lines of the card. Let me know what you think!

Magical Days with Rainbows

Posted on January 23, 2018January 22, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Magical Mates stamp set and co-ordinating Magical Mates Framelit dies – OMG I think I have died and gone to heaven and the gorgeous little unicorn image just cried out for the addition of a rainbow.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Magical Mates stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I began by die cutting 3 layers of cloud using the Rainbow Builder Framelits and panels of Whisper White cardstock 4½” by 4”, 4” by 3½” and 4” by 2”. I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Day stamp set onto the smallest panel in Archival Basic Gray Ink and set it aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Magical Mates stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Taking a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the cute ‘unicorn’ image in Archival Basic Gray Ink. I coloured the mane and tail of the unicorn using Rich Razzelberry, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Elegant Eggplant Marker Pens. Using the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Pen I added some shading to the body of the unicorn softening the edges with the Colour Lifter. I added the hooves using the Dark Smoky Slate Pen. After colouring I die cut the unicorn using the co-ordinating Magical Mates dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Magical Mates stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using the Rainbow Builder Framelit dies I die cut each layer of the rainbow from a different colour starting with Daffodil Delight and moving through Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Elegant Eggplant. I found it easier to adhere the layers of the rainbow to a strip of Whisper White starting with the smallest piece. This also gave the rainbow some stability.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Magical Mates stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” I positioned the rainbow and clouds roughly where I wanted them, trimming them down if I needed too. When I was happy with the placement I started gluing them down beginning with the rainbow which was adhered with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The tallest layer of cloud was then added with Tombow. The 2^nd layer of cloud was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the unicorn was glued onto the layer using Tombow. The smallest cloud layer with the stamped sentiment was then added with Tombow.

I glued the whole piece to a Rich Razzelberry card base and finished off by covering the clouds in Clear Wink of Stella. Gorgeous, I love it and I know just who to give this card too.

Perennial Birthday again

Posted on January 19, 2018January 13, 2018 by Mo Rootes

The gorgeous Perennial Birthday stamp set was still out on my desk this morning so I used it to make a quick birthday card.

I started with a Perfect Plum card base and stamped randomly all over the front with the largest flower stamp and Perfect Plum ink. Love the subtle tone on tone look of this.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Next I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Perfect Plum ink onto a 3” by 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using my Big Shot and the Layering Circles dies. Whilst I had the Big Shot out I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Pool Party cardstock and set it to one side.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using Pool Party, Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette and Pear Pizzazz – I should have added in Peakaboo Peach and I would have used all the PP’s colours – I stamped a variety of the flowers and leaves from the stamp set around the edge of the Whisper White die cut circle. The stamped circle was then added to the Pool Party scalloped circle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I added banners to the card front in Pear Pizzazz (4⅛” by ½”) and Pink Pirouette (4⅛” by ⅜”) and flagged the ends with my scissors. The circle piece was added over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off I painted the centre of all the flowers on the circle and on the card front with Clear Wink of Stella, so pretty.

Hope you like this card.

Bold colours for a musical masculine card

Musical Epic Celebrations

Posted on January 16, 2018January 13, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Getting ready for an epic celebration here with the new Sale-a-Bration Epic Celebration stamp set. This is such a great set for teenagers, young men and women and anyone musical. I couldn’t wait to get it out of the case and start stamping.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Epic Celebrations by Stampin’ Up!

My card today is designed with my cousin in mind; he is a guitarist in a local band. I started by taking Emerald Envy, Dapper Denim and Perfect Plum cardstock and cutting one panel of each at 3⅜” by 1⅝” using my Stampin’ Trimmer.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Epic Celebrations by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the ‘guitar’ image on each panel using Archival Basic Black ink. I can’t wait for my Stamparatus to arrive in February as I would have liked to re-stamp on the Dapper Denim again as the colour was a little light. I mounted the panels, using Tombow Liquid Adhesive onto a layer of Basic Black cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” starting with the ones on either side, finishing with the middle one. I find this the easiest way to get even spacing between the panels.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Epic Celebrations by Stampin’ Up!

I only wanted the word AWESOME so masked off the word ‘you’re using a Post It Note. I inked up the sentiment with Archival Basic Black ink and removed the Post It Note before stamping onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. I trimmed the sentiment down with scissors and added it to the panel using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The whole piece was then added to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base.

Love that this is such a great masculine card, hope he likes it.

Bubble Over for January Classes

Posted on January 12, 2018January 11, 2018 by Mo Rootes

For January’s classes we used the very quirky and versatile Bubble Over stamp set and the co-ordinating Bottles & Bubbles Framelit dies, the ladies loved them. As their table gift I gave each lady as 6” by 6” sample pack of the co-ordinating Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper (dsp) which is available as a free Sale-a-Bration item with a £45 order.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles dies by Stampin’ Up!

We started the first card by die-cutting a large and small bottle from one of the Bubble & Fizz dsp sheets. I love that the dies can be used to cut out the dsp patterns in this way. We stamped the ‘bubble’ image in Lemon Lime Twist ink randomly across the upper third of a strip of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2½”. The prototype card in the picture shows the bubbles in Daffodil Delight ink but we decided we preferred the Lemon Lime Twist. The sentiment – either Love You or Thank You – from the Baby Bear stamp set was then stamped at the bottom of the panel in Bermuda Bay ink. We took a small piece of Lemon Lime Twist striped ribbon, about 4”, and wrapped it around the white panel securing on the back with Sellotape. The ladies then chose a pattern from the dsp and cut 2 strips each 6” by ½”, they then glued the strips on either side of the Whisper White panel. This panel was then adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The die cut bottles were then adhered to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles dies by Stampin’ Up!

For the second card the ladies chose a piece of dsp and using the Stampin’ Trimmer cut it to 5⅜” by 3⅝”. This panel was then added at an angle, or catawampus to a Lemon Lime Twist card base. On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock the ladies stamped the larger bottle using Archival Basic Gray ink and a Stampin’ Pierce Mat to get a good image. We also stamped the label in Lemon Lime Twist ink and the sentiment was added on top in Archival Basic Gray ink. These pieces were then die cut using the Big Shot and they also die cut one of the cute little bottle caps. The label and bottle cap were glued to the front of the bottle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” the ladies die cut an oval using the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies. This panel was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the die cut bottle was added using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Tombow glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles dies by Stampin’ Up!

Thirdly we made a bottle tag starting with a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock 8¼” by 2½” which we scored using the Stampin’ Trimmer (love that it cuts and scores) at 5½”. Taking a 1¼” Circle Punch we punched a hole roughly in the centre of the smaller side. At the bottom of the longer side we cut a shallow banner using scissors. The ladies then chose a piece of dsp and cut it to 4½” by 2⅜” and adhered it above the banner point. Bubbles were then stamped in either Lemon Lime Twist ink or Bermuda Bay ink across the top and down one side of a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4¾” by 1½” and this piece was added to the tag on top of the dsp. Taking a scrap Whisper White cardstock the ladies stamped the larger bottle in Archival Basic Gray ink, the label in Calypso Coral ink and the sentiment in Archival Basic Gray. These pieces were then die cut using the Bottles and Bubble Framelit dies along with one of the cute straws. The labels and straw were then added with Tombow Liquid Adhesive to the die cut bottle and the bottle added with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the bottle tag.

To finish off the projects the ladies added some of the mini sequins taken from the Silver Sequin Trim using the Fine-Tip Liquid Adhesive.

The ladies loved the projects and I want to thank them for all the fun, laughter and chat this week.

A simply Beautiful Peacock

Posted on January 9, 2018January 6, 2018 by Mo Rootes

OMG I am in love with a Beautiful Peacock. It comes from the aptly named Beautiful Peacock stamp set which is one of the free choices with a £45 order from the new Sale-a-Bration brochure.

I stamped the body of the peacock in Bermuda Bay ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5” by 3¼”. Using Lemon Lime Twist ink I stamped the image of a ‘spray of feathers/leaves’ twice to form the tail of the bird. I then stamped the ‘flourish’ style image in Bermuda Bay ink to give the effect of a full, luxurious tail.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Peacock by Stampin’ Up! for Sale-a-Bration

I stamped the dotty image in Pacific Point ink before randomly stamping the ‘tiny flower’ image in the same Pacific Point ink. The sentiment from the same stamp set was added in Lemon Lime Twist ink. I felt the peacock needed ‘grounding’ and added a swipe of Smoky Slate using the light Stampin’ Blend.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Peacock by Stampin’ Up! for Sale-a-Bration

I added the stamped panel to a layer of Pacific Point cardstock 5⅛” by 3⅜” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive before adhering the whole panel to a Thick Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Pretty feminine card using Stampin' Up! product

A floral Perennial Birthday card

Posted on January 5, 2018January 4, 2018 by Mo Rootes

I was playing with the Perennial Birthday stamp set today. This set is paired with the lovely new Perennial Birthday Project Kit but it offers so many more opportunities.

I started by stamping the large, bold ‘Happy Birthday’ sentiment onto a 3⅝” by 1” piece of Whisper White cardstock using Momento Tuxedo Black ink.

Soft, subtle colours for a feminine birthday card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Taking a 5¼” by 3½” panel of Whisper White cardstock I lightly drew 2 pencil lines across the card front an inch apart. I then randomly stamped the flower and leaf images above and below the pencil lines in Peakaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum, Flirty Flamingo & Pear Pizzazz ink. When the ink was dry I rubbed out the pencil lines.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I took an 8” by 1” strip of Pear Pizzazz cardstock and using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch punched along the length. I adhered the small scalloped edge to the top of the sentiment strip using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I trimmed off the excess and used it to edge the bottom of the sentiment strip and trimming off the excess with scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

The sentiment was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a few Iridescent Sequins.

I love the fresh colours of this card. So very pretty.

Heartfelt Blooms with added colour

Posted on January 2, 2018January 1, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Heartfelt Blooms is a fab new stamp set which will be available from tomorrow, free in Sale-a-Bration with £45 order from my online store.

When I took the stamp out of the case I was a bit surprised to see that the face of the rubber stamp had very little texture, I wondered if it was defective. I inked up the image using Smoky Slate ink and stamped it onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and WOW the image had so much definition, I loved it.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Heartfelt Blooms by Stampin’ Up!

I took the gorgeous new Stampin’ Blends in light & dark Pink Pirouette, light & dark Old Olive, light Daffodil Delight, light Rich Razzelberry & light Calypso Coral and coloured in the flowers and leaves giving the image a really soft look.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Heartfelt Blooms by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in Old Olive ink and added the piece to a layer of Daisy Delight dsp using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of Silver Edged Metallic Ribbon to the bottom of the piece then added the whole panel to the front of a Pink Pirouette card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off I added some Clear Epoxy Shapes to mimic dewdrops – Gorgeous.
