A pretty lavender farm themed card made using the Hills of Tuscany stamp set - Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hills of Italian Lavender – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on February 25, 2024February 17, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am loving the Hills of Tuscany stamp set and have used it to make a pretty water coloured card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the Italian lavender hills card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 3¾” by 2¾”
Basic Black card – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Using a Spritzer, filled with water, I sprayed the piece of Fluid 100 card with enough water to make it wet.

The large curved image was inked in Highland Heather ink, then lightly spritzed with water before I stamped the image at the bottom of the Fluid 100 card. The colour didn’t look right and I realised the stamp had picked up a little Old Olive ink from the scrap paper the Fluid 100 was resting on – quite liked it so carried on. I stamped again in Highland Heather ink to add more ‘ground’.

The large ‘sky’ image was inked up with Azure Afternoon ink, spritzed with water and stamped at the top of the panel, I added the small ‘cloud’ like image using the Azure Afternoon ink in 1^st & 2^nd generation to add some depth. The panel was set the panel to one side to dry.

When the panel was dry, I added the more defined ‘ground’ images with 1^st & 2^nd generation Gorgeous Grape ink. This time I didn’t spritze with water. The dotty image was stamped to give the impression of flowers.

The house was stamped in Starry Sky ink and the roof added in Night of Navy ink. I used the Black Stampin’ Write Marker to add some definition to the windows. I managed to stamp the roof slightly squint but quite liked the effect so left it.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Hills of Tuscany stamp set used to make a pretty lavender farm themed card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

The group of trees were stamped in Garden Green ink. I used a Waterpainter to smear the ink on the trees – this gives a greater depth of colour. When completely dry, the finished piece was glued to the Basic Black panel, then to the 3¾” by 2¾” piece of Basic White card.

Posted on February 19, 2024February 10, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the World Languages Blog Hop where we are – not surprisingly – sharing projects featuring a language not our own. Sadly I don’t have an ear for languages, much to my children’s disgust when they had German or French homework. I have chosen to make a card with a German sentiment using the Inspirational Sketches stamp set.

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 4⅛” by 3”

Using Berry Burst ink, I randomly stamped the pretty floral image all over the panel of Basic White card.

I used the Mini Alphabet Dies to die cut the letters I needed from scrap Basic Black card. The word DANKE was added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. If I had had my wits about me I would have added some Adhesive Sheet to the back of the scrap card .

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Inspirational Sketches stamp set used with the Mini Alphabet dies to make cards for the World Languages Blog Hop

The stamped panel was added to the Berry Burst layer using the same liquid glue.

Trusty Tools Classes

Engagement card – Celebrate Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop

Posted on February 12, 2024February 5, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Celebrate Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop where we are showcasing, you’ve guessed it…….. Sale-a-Bration product. I am showcasing the gorgeous Softly Stippled dsp and have used it to make a pretty card made for my niece who became engaged over Christmas.

On the long side I scored the Softly Stippled dsp at 2”, 4” 8” and 10”. On the short side I marked at 2” down on both sides and using a trimmer, cut from the 2” mark to the second score line – 4” and 8”.

A pretty fun fold card made to celebrate an engagement using the gorgeous Softly Stippled dsp, a Sale-a-Bration 2024 choice from Stampin' Up!

The sentiment, from the Stippled Rose stamp set, was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto scrap Basic White card. I die cut the sentiment using the Nested Essentials Dies. I cut 2 more labels from scrap Pool Party card, I cut one of these in half across the middle and glued the 2 halfs to the back of the stamped label with a little peeking out at the top and the bottom. The remaining Pool Party label was glued to the back of the label and the whole piece was glued to the left side of the card front.
