Autumnal Pumpkin card – Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Posted on October 10, 2020October 10, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to this months Joy of Sets Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Harvest Time’. If you have hopped on from Fiona Whitehead’s blog – welcome. I have used the sweet Turnovers Stamp set to create a sweet Autumnal pumpkin themed thank you card. This is a reversible set where you use both sides of the same – the front is the outline and the back is the filler.

To recreate the Autumnal Pumpkin card you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Pumpkin Pie – 3 ¾” by 2 ¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 3 ½” by 2 ½” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner – for the inside

I began by randomly stamping both outline pumpkins onto the smaller Whisper White panels, one in Terracotta Tile and the other in Cajun Craze ink. I used a Garden Green Marker to ink up the pumpkin stem.

I decided to colour the pumpkins in using Blends Markers – Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody and Old Olive. The background was filled in using the Soft Sea Foam Blends combo Markers.

Stampin' Up! Jar of Flowers stamp set used to make a pretty floral card

Blue Glass Jar

Posted on August 16, 2020August 11, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a blue glass jar card inspired by a Youtube video made by a fellow demonstrator Kathy of Kathy’s Stampin World – – she made a really cute card with a milk glass effect mason jar and I thought I would give it a try.

To recreate the Blue Glass Jar card you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
So Saffron – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I began by painting the inside of the mason jar with blue metallic paint and setting it aside to dry. Once dry it was very patchy so I gave it another coat using a green metallic paint and again set it to one side to dry. I really liked the 2 tone look this gave.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

I stamped the flowers from the Jar of Flowers stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Whisper White card and cut them out using sharp scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

The image was coloured in using the following Blends Markers – So Saffron, Purple Posy, Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue, Just Jade, Mint Macaron, Pool Party and Soft Suede

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

Using the Jar Punch I punched out the jar from one of the Whisper White panels. The mason jar was inserted into the punched out hole and the protective adhesive layer removed to adhere it to the back of the Whisper White panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

I popped the punched out Whisper White jar onto the back of the mason jar and adhered it with a little tape. The whole panel was added to the So Saffron layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to the Just Jade card base with the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

I felt the panel looked a little bare so added some dots in Just Jade ink taking card to mask the sides not to get ink on the So Saffron layer or the card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

The flowers were added to the card front on Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Home stamp set on scrap Whisper White card and cut out a tag with scissors. I added it to the jar with a glue dot and finished the card off with a double Linen Thread bow.

I hope you like it.

Split Image Blossom card

Posted on July 14, 2020July 8, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a couple of split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set and Many Layered Blossom dies. Over the past couple of moths I have seen a number of demonstrators making split image cards and thought I would try it myself.

To recreate the Split Image Blossom card you will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Calypso Coral – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside
Calypso Coral – 5½” by 5½” – to die cut for both cards

2nd card

Calypso Coral – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Merry Merlot – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside

I laid 2 of the Whisper White panels side by side, inked up the large floral image from the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set with Merry Merlot ink and stamped the image across the join of both panels.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

The most detailed large floral image was die cut using the Many Layered Blooms dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I squeezed some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the corner of my Silicon Mat and dabbed it all over the back of the die cut piece and placed it over the stamped area which were still side by side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

When the adhesive was dry I used my Paper Trimmer to cut the 2 layers apart.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

The stamped and die cut panels were added to either a Calypso Coral or a Merry Merlot layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the opposite colour card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Two split image blossom cards made using the fabulous Blossoms in Bloom stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
