Using the co-ordinating Happy Birthday dies and my die cutting machine I cut out the image. The gorgeous cake was then coloured in using the following Blends Markers – Soft Sea Foam combo, Pool Party combo, Pretty Peacock combo, Smoky Slate combo & Color Lifter. The image was then set aside to dry.

I stamped the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink in the upper left hand corner.

Today I am sharing the cards made at this months classes featuring the Under My Umbrella stamp set and Umbrella Builder Punch.

We started by stamping the floral images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink randomly over a panel of Whisper White card stock measuring 3½” by 2¾”. The flowers were then coloured in using the following Blends Markers: Daffodil Delight combo, Melon Mambo combo, Bermuda Bay combo and Granny Apple Green combo.

We stamped the wellies onto the decorated panel in the right hand corner and cutting them out using sharp scissors.

We used a pre-punched template and the Stamparatus to line up the 2 umbrella images so that they would punch out easily. They were stamped on the decorated panel in Memento Tuxedo Black and punched out using the Umbrella Builder punch. These images would form the basis of the three cards.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Pretty cards made using the Under My Umbrella stamp set and Umbrella Builder Punch

Melon Mambo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner

Basic Black – 3” by 1”
Scrap Smoky Slate

Using PostIt Notes were masked off 1” from the left and 1” form the bottom of a Whisper White panel. WE used the embossing Buddy to remove static before randomly stamping the grouped flowers using Versamark ink.

The panel was then covered with White Embossing Powder which was heat set using the Heat Tool. We then used a sponge to apply Melon Mambo ink to the embossed section creating an ombre effect. The PostIt notes were then removed.

The umbrella handle was punched out of the scrap Smoky Slate card stock and added to the back of the umbrella using a Mini Glue Dot and added to the card front on a Dimensional. The panel was then added to the Basic Black layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive before being added to the Melon Mambo card base with the same glue.

The sentiment from the Healing Hugs stamp set was stamped in Versmark, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set as above. The banner end was created using the Banner Triple Punch.

We die cut a circle from the square of Whisper White and a slightly larger scalloped circle from the square of Melon Mambo cardstock. The sentiment from the Sending You Thoughts stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and the ‘wellies’ added above using the liquid glue. We placed the circle onto a Whisper White panel, over hanging the right side and lightly drew round it in pencil. This would act as a guide when we stamped the boots. The two circles were then adhered them together with liquid glue and the right hand side trimmed off.

The welly image was stamped around the pencil circle using alternating Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo ink. The panel was then glued to the Basic Black layer and then to the Daffodil Delight card base. The decorated circle was added with Dimensionals.

Scrap Smoky Slate

We used a piece of Whisper White card stock and die cut a circle from the centre. We used the negative space as a mask to mask off an area of one of the Whisper White panels. Using Sponges we blended Bermuda Bay ink lightly onto the circle before stamping the raindrops randomly in the same ink. The sentiment form the Well Said stamp set was stamped in Black in the lower right corner of the inked panel.

The handle was punched out from scrap Smoky Slate card stock using the Umbrella Builder Punch and added to the open umbrella with a Mini Glue dot. The umbrella was added to the card front on Dimensionals. The stamped layer was glued to the Basic Black panel and added to the Bermuda Bay card base.

I love the vibrant colour palette of these cards, they are sure to brighten up somebodies day.
