Caring Leaves card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on October 19, 2024October 12, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing colouring techniques. I have chosen to make my card using the Caring Leaves stamp set and ink refills and the baby wipe technique, one of my favourite colouring techniques.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the caring leaves card, you will need:

Garden Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gold Foil card – 5⅛” by 3½”
Early Espresso card – 5” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 4⅞” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Cherry Cobbler card – 4⅛” by ¾”

I began by making up my ‘ink pad’ using a couple of baby wipes and 3 or 4 drops of the following re-inkers – Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and Pecan Pie.

Both solid leafy images were inked up on my homemade ink pad and randomly stamped all over the 4⅞” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card.

The sketchy outer images of each stamp were added over each leaf using Early Espresso ink. The panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel and then to the panel of Gold Foil. The whole piece was adhered to the Garden Green card base.

Using the Greetings of the Season Dies I die cut a label from the strip of Cherry Cobbler card. I ran it through twice as I wanted it shorter with a flagged banner at each end.

The sentiment, from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the Cherry Cobbler label. I covered it with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it.

Rustic Crate Fall Fun Fold card – Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Posted on October 16, 2024October 11, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop. I recently watch a Youtube video posted by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner showcasing a pop out window card http://(https://www.youtube.com/live/_uQZ9AN1wTM)which she had designed. I absolutely loved the card and decided to rework it for a standard sized card using A4 cardstock.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I selected 2 Deckled Circle Dies and using the larger die I die cut a circle through all 3 layers. I needed to run it backwards and forwards 2 to cut through all the layers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I glued the piece of Unbounded Beauty dsp to the front of the inner Basic White card and adhered the back of the card to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base taking care to stay away from the central fold.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

The small circle was then used to die cut a circle from the square of Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the Autumnal arrangement and the sentiment onto the die cut white circle. I used Washi tape from my stash to mask the words for the sentiment as I wanted then stacked rather than inline.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

The image was coloured using the following Blends Pens – light and dark Pumpkin Pie and light and dark Pretty Peacock for the Pumpkins, light and dark Wild Wheat and light and dark Old Olive for the ears of corn and light and dark Daffodil Delight, light Copper Clay and light and dark Mossy Meadow for the sunflowers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I folded and burnished the scorelines on the 5” by 1“– the 2 centre scorelines were folded back, the next 2 folded forwards and the last 2 folded back.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

The card front was closed, and a little Liquid Adhesive added to the innermost tabs of the folded strip which was then placed in the centre of the die cut hole. I held it in place for a minute or so to make sure it would not move. Adhesive was then added to the raised centre of the strip and the decorated circle added, making sure to leave an equal border all the way around.

I finished the card by adding the trio of Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots. Not sure I have got this card quite right, but I do like it.

A stained glass Ruby Heart card for my husband using the Friends For Life Dies from Stampin' Up!

Ruby Heart Anniversary card

Posted on October 13, 2024October 13, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the card made for my husband – we are celebrating our ruby wedding anniversary (40 years) today.

Colours used in this card are:

Basic White

Cherry Cobbler

Silver Foil

To recreate the ruby heart anniversary card, you will need:

Cherry Cobbler card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Silver Foil – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Cherry Cobbler and Silver Foil

I began by making the heart. Using Washi Tape from my stash I taped together the outline and detailed heart dies, from the Friends For Life Dies. I then die cut 3 Cherry Cobbler hearts and 1 Silver Foil heart. I also die cut a solid heat using just the outline heart die.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used to make a gorgeous stained glass Ruby Heart card for my ruby anniversary

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I adhered the 3 detailed hearts to the solid heart. I carefully filled in each of the negative spaces in the heart with Fine Tip Glue and set it aside to dry and set.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used to make a gorgeous stained glass Ruby Heart card for my ruby anniversary

Whilst the heart was drying – it took about an hour – I embossed the 5¼” by 3½” Basic White panel using the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. I squirted some of the Silver Enamel Effects onto a Silicon Craft Mat and swiped a B block through it before rubbing it over the raised embossing. It just gives a little extra shimmer to the card. The whole piece was then glued to the Silver Foil layer.

A length of Sheer Silver Edged Ribbon was wrapped around the panel before it was adhered to the Cherry Cobbler card front.

When the heart was dry, I added the detailed Silver Foil heat on top and glued the whole heart to the front of the card.

The sentiment, from the Sweetly Scripted stamp set was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink onto scrap Basic White card. I fussy cut the sentiment out and added it straddling the heart with a small piece of Foam Adhesive Strip to either end and a Mini Glue Dot in the middle.

I placed the dsp strips down over the pencil drawn leaf shape, moving them around until I got the colour palette I liked. I then glued them into position butted up tightly together. I made sure to cut off the excess as I didn’t want the strips poking out when the top panel was in position.
