Sweet Hearts for the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop

Posted on January 22, 2022January 21, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing ideas for Valentine’s Day cards. I have made my card using the Sweet Heart dies.

The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the sweet hearts card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Crumb Cake card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Pool Party, Real Red and Highland Heather

I began by embossing the Crumb Cake panel using Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Speciality Plate and the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. This panel was then mounted on the Crumb Cake card front on Dimensionals.

Using the Sweet Hearts Dies, I die cut the strips of hearts in Pool Party, Real Red, Highland Heather and Basic White.

The negative heart strips were glued to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I then stacked the small die cut hearts of the same colour, one on top of the other, three deep, adhering them together with liquid glue before adding them inside the negative strip. They rose a little above the negative strip giving some dimension.

The piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp was added to the front of the Very Vanilla panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We ran the die cut scalloped rectangle through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Greenery Die. This adds texture without fussiness. The rectangle was then added, offset to the card front.

We then die cut the pieces for the daffodil and leaves from scrap Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz card. The leaves and stem were added to to the card front with liquid glue. The pieces of the daffodil were stuck together with liquid glue and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

After cutting the piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp to the sizes given above, we adhered each piece to the slightly larger Daffodil Delight layer.

These panels were then added t the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Very Vanilla card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. We backed this with a Basic Black punched piece cut in half and added to the back. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

This is such a simple card to put together and is a great way to use dsp.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies we die cut the scalloped border on one side of the Pear Pizzazz panel and added the panel of dsp strips with liquid glue.

We placed the piece on the card front for placement before stamping the sentiment in Old Olive ink.

Vintage Harvest for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on January 11, 2022January 11, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects with a vintage theme. I have to say ‘vintage’ is way out of my comfort zone so this was quite a challenge for me.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the vintage harvest card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Blushing Bride card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede & Early Espresso

Using one of the images from the Natural Textures stamp set, I stamped all over the panel of Blushing Bride in Blushing Bride ink to give a subtle texture. I then tore down the right side of the panel. I used a Dauber to Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the piece.

I tore the edge of the smaller Very Vanilla piece and inked along the torn edge with the same ink.

A rustic, vintage style card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I wrapped a length of Lace Trim around the Blushing Bride panel and added it to the Very Vanilla piece. The whole panel was added to the Crumb Cake card base. I inked around that as well with the Crumb Cake ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Using the Harvest Dies, I die cut the stems and flowers from scrap Soft Suede and Early Espresso card. I though the flowerhead was too dark so die cut it again from Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card……….couldn’t make my mind up which I would like better. I used the speckle image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set to stamp on the potential flowerheads with Soft Suede ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The Soft Suede stems were added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Early Espresso stems with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Blushing Bride flowerhead, then decided I liked the Very Vanilla so I added it on top, on Dimensionals, but slightly offset so that you see both. How’s that for indecision……….

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink on scrap Very Vanilla card and die cut using a label from the Harvest dies. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the Sweet Heart dies, I die cut the adorable little envelope from a scrap of the dsp and adhered the sides and bottom together with a Mini Glue Dot. I also die cut a circle, using the Layering Circle dies from the square of Basic White and added the envelope with liquid glue.
