Vintage Christmas card for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Posted on October 9, 2022October 8, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo Blog Hop where I have used the Vintage Christmas stamp set to make a masculine vintage bottle birthday card using the colours we were given

To recreate the vintage bottle card, you will need:

Starry Sky card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Pumpkin Pie card – 4½” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 1”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

I die cut a deckled rectangle from the 4¾” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card using the Deckled Rectangle Dies.

I stamped both the large and small bottles onto Post It Notes and cut them out to act as masks.

The smaller squat bottle was stamped onto the Deckled Rectangle in Pumpkin Pie ink. I placed a mask over the top and stamped the larger bottle in Starry Sky and Old Olive, one each side of the squat bottle.

I repeated the stamping and masking until my row of bottles was complete. I then used a Blending Brush to apply Starry Sky ink around the edges of the deckled rectangle. The whole piece was then glued to the Pumpkin Pie layer.

Using sharp Scissors, I flagged both ends of the strip of Basic White card and added the strip to the centre of the Starry Sky card base. The stamped panel was then mounted over the top on Dimensionals.

Basket of Blooms card

Posted on October 2, 2022September 21, 2022 by Mo Rootes

I love combining elements from different stamp sets to create something new and different and have created a basket of blooms using the Cheerful Basket stamp set and Wisteria Wishes stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the basket of blooms stamp set, you will need:

Pale Papaya card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White& Old Olive card

I saw a Youtube video a while ago showing how to colour using ordinary colouring pencils with Vaseline which helps them to blend. I wondered if it would work with our Watercolor pencils and thought I would give it a go.

The basket from the Cheerful Basket stamp set was stamped in Sahara Sand ink and used the Early Espresso and Cajun Craze watercolor pencils to add colour to the basket. I dipped the tip of the pencil into a small pot of Vaseline before applying the colour, dipping again as needed. The colour went on really smoothly and I was able to get a really rich colour by building up the layers. The basket was die cut using the Full Basket dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wisteria Wishes and the Cheerful Basket stamp sets used to make a pretty basket of blooms card

The stems and leaves were stamped on the smaller panel of Basic White card in Old Olive ink and the die cut basket added with .Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then glued to the Sweet Sorbet layer.

I wrapped a length of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then adhered to the Pale Papaya card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wisteria Wishes and the Cheerful Basket stamp sets used to make a pretty basket of blooms card

The flower spikes from the Wisteria Wishes stamp set were inked with Pale Papaya ink and I added Sweet Sorbet ink to the tops with a Stampin’ Write Marker. The flowers were then stamped onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Wisteria Dies. They were added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Wisteria Wishes and the Cheerful Basket stamp sets used to make a pretty basket of blooms card

The stamped panel was then die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I love the stitched edge this gives.

I adhered the die cut square to the Parakeet Party square then to the Shaded Spruce square and mounted it onto the card front straddling the ribbon using Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Vintage Christmas stamp set was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto the scrap Basic White card. It was die cut using the Layering Circle Dies. It was added to the card front on a Dimensional.

I used a Shaded Spruce Blends Pen to colour in a trio of Basic Rhinestones and added them to the card base. I also added a bow made using the same ribbon on a Mini Glue Dot.

Pretty card, I hope you like it.
