Ladybird Birthday Card

Posted on April 23, 2023April 23, 2023 by Mo Rootes

I am sharing a sweet ladybird birthday card made using the Hello Ladybug stamps set.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the ladybird card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Parakeet Party card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic Black card – 3¼” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 2¼” by 2⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Using Sweet Sorbet ink, I randomly stamped the daisy flower all over the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card. I added the flower centres using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

The trio of tiny dots were added, randomly, over the same panel using Parakeet Party ink. The decorated panel was then glued to the Parakeet Party layer which was then adhered to the Sweet Sorbet card base. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive on both occasions.

The sentiment, from the Go To Greetings stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black along the bottom of the small basic white panel.

The cute little ladybird was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink above the sentiment and the wings added with Sweet Sorbet ink.

Using the Penned Dies, I die-cut a scalloped edge along the bottom of the 3¼” by 2¼” panel of Basic Black card. I glued the sentiment piece above the scalloped edge and trimmed the excess length of card away. A length of Black Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape.

Sheep Themed Thank You Card

Posted on April 16, 2023April 9, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been using the sweet On the Farm stamp set to make a pretty water coloured thank you card.

The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the sheep thank you card, you will need:

Sahara Sand card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Garden Green card – 3¼” by 2⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 3⅛” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Strips of Basic White, Balmy Blue and Garden Green ⅜” wide

When I am stamping onto watercolor paper, I usually use my Stamparatus. Because the paper is textured the Stamparatus gives me the option of re-stamping if I miss spots or I want the image to be darker. So, I stamped the fields, trees and sheep in StaZon Jet Black ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The On The Farm stamp set used to make a pretty, watercoloured, sheep themed thank you card

I added a drop of Balmy Blue re-inker to the lid of the Balmy Blue ink pad and painted in the sky using a Water Painter. After the sky had dried, I coloured the fields in the same way using Garden Green ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The On The Farm stamp set used to make a pretty, watercoloured, sheep themed thank you card

The trees were painted with Shaded Spruce and the tree trunks in Early Espresso. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink re-fill to colour in the sheep and left the panel to dry.

The dried panel was then glued to the Garden Green card. I used Seal + as the panel was a little warped. The whole piece was mounted onto the Sahara Sand card base on Dimensionals.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using something that is about to retire from the 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue which retires at the end of this month. I have chosen to share a project using the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set, one of my favourites and I am so sad to see it go.
