Delicate Forest Stepped Up – Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on November 14, 2024November 7, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing cards focussing on love and support. I have stepped up the card I shared on the 9th November made using the Delicate Forest stamp set.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the delicate forest card, you will need:

Lemon Lolly card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Peach Pie card – 5¼” by 3½”
Early Espresso card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Lemon Lolly – 2⅜” by ½”
Early Espresso – 2¼” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I pressed an H block to my Peach Pie ink pad about half-way up the block. The rest of the block was then pressed to my Lemon Lolly ink pad. I lightly misted the inked-up block using a Stampin’ Spritzer. The block was the placed onto the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. I left it in place for about ½ minute to allow the ink to soak in. I set it aside to dry.

When the panel was dry, I stamped the falling leaves stamp from the Delicate Forest stamp set down the length of the panel in Early Espresso ink.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Early Espresso layer, then to the Peach Pie layer. I wrapped a length of Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine around the panels before mounting them onto the Lemon Lolly card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Early Espresso card, covered with White Embossing Powder and set using my Heat Tool. The Early Espresso strip was then adhered to the Lemon Lolly strip before adding it to the card front, straddling the Baker’s Twine with Dimensionals.

A trio of 2024 – 2026 In Color Shimmer Gems finished the card and a Baker’s Twine bow finished the card.

Today I am sharing a clean and simple thinking of you card made using the Delicate Forest stamp set and some ink blending.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the delicate forest card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Misty Moonlight card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3”

I stamped the leafy sprig in Balmy Blue ink in the upper left and lower right corners of the Balmy Blue card front and set it aside.

Using the lines on the grid paper to make sure it was straight, I masked off a 1 ¼” strip on the 4¼” by 3” panel of Basic White card.

I used a Blending Brush to add Balmy Blue ink to the bottom of the panel. Next, I added Boho Blue ink and finally Misty Moonlight at the top of the strip. The masking paper was then removed.

The leafy image was then stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink along the right-hand edge of the inked strip.

Bright Leaves

Posted on October 3, 2020September 30, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is a cheerful, summery card featuring some gorgeous bright leaves and made using the Love of Leaves stamp set and Stitched Leaves Dies.

To recreate the bright leaves card you will need:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Daffodil Delight – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner x 2
Scrap Whisper White and Granny Apple Green

I stamped the largest leaf from the Love of Leaves stamp set onto one of the Whisper White panels using Granny Apple Green ink. This is a ‘distinctive’ stamp set meaning you get layers of texture, light and dark with each inking.
