Today I have made a pretty double butterfly card made using alcohol inked vellum left over from my class projects last month (see the post on the 17th September 2021).
To recreate the double butterfly card, you will need:
Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner Daffodil Delight card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside Vellum – big enough to die cut your butterflies
I used Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Alcohol Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.

Using a pipette filled with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and smacked it against a Bone Folder to spray small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum. This allows the ink to start spreading. The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry.

Using second generation Smoky Slate ink I stamped one of the rectangle images from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set in the centre of the smaller Basic White panel. The dotty image was stamped in full strength Smoky Slate randomly across the stamped rectangle.

Taking the dry vellum panel and the Brilliant Wings Dies I die cut 2 butterflies. Vellum can be tricky to die cut with a detailed die and I find placing the die, cutting side up gives me the best cut. I used the Take Your Pick Die Brush to get out the fiddly pieces.

The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Magenta Madness ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Daffodil Delight layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Magenta Madness card front using the same liquid glue.

The butterflies were added to the card front on Mini Glue Dots and the card decorated with a trio of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels.
I hope you like it.

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog hop where our theme is ‘Fun Fold’. I love a good fun fold and the Tri-fold Shutter card is new to me and I couldn’t wait to try it for a friend’s special birthday.
To recreate the tri-fold shutter card, you will need:
Gorgeous Grape card – 10 ½” by 5 ½” Basic White card – 5⅜” by 1⅝” x 2 Basic White card – 2⅞” by 1⅝” x 2 Basic White card – 3⅜” by 1⅛” x 2 Basic White card – 1⅝” by 1⅛” x 4 Basic White card – 3⅜” by 2⅞” x 2 Pansy Petals dsp – 5¼” by 1½” x 2 Pansy Petals dsp – 2¾” by 1½” x 2 Pansy Petals dsp – 3¼” by 1” x 2 Pansy Petals dsp – 1½” by 1” x 4 Pansy Petals dsp – 3¼” by 2¾” Scrap Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Basic White and Be Dazzling dsp
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet butterfly themed tri-fold shutter card made for a friend’s special birthday and for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop
Taking the Gorgeous Grape panel and my Paper Trimmer I cut on the short side from 1¾” to 8¾” on both sides. The cuts should be parallel and matched up.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet butterfly themed tri-fold shutter card made for a friend’s special birthday and for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop
Next I scored on the long side at 1¾” from both ends but only between the two cut lines and then from 3½” and 7” from top to bottom.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet butterfly themed tri-fold shutter card made for a friend’s special birthday and for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop
I took my time to choosing patterns from the gorgeous Pansy Petals dsp. My friend loves purple so these were the colours I went for first. I added in the Soft Succulent gingham to break up the purple. The dsp was adhered to the Basic White panels which were then glued to the Gorgeous Grape card.
I carefully folded and burnished the score lines of the card to form the tri-fold shutter shape.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet butterfly themed tri-fold shutter card made for a friend’s special birthday and for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop
Using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Brilliant Butterfly Dies I die cut some of the butterflies from the scrap Gorgeous Grape card, Highland Heather card and Be Dazzling dsp. I also used some of the iridescent paper left over from the Wonderful Snowflakes to die cut a couple of butterflies.
The butterflies were added to the card front with a dab of Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive.

The word ‘today’ was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto a scrap of Basic White card. It came from the Timeless Tulips Stamp set. I masked off the words I didn’t need before I inked up the stamp. The word was trimmed out using scissors.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet butterfly themed tri-fold shutter card made for a friend’s special birthday and for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am sharing a cards made using the gorgeous Summer Shadows dies which are available as a free choice with a £45 order in the Sale-a-Bration Brochure until the end of this month. These cards were inspired by projects made by a fellow demonstrator Tammy White and made to congratulate 2 of my team members on reaching sales targets..
To recreate the Summer Shadows cards, you will need:
Basic White card 5⅞” by 4⅛” – this will eventually be used on the Blackberry Bliss card Scrap of Basic White card – die cut the solid flower from the centre to act as a mask
Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower left corner Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded lower left corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”x 2 – one for the inside – Rounded lower left corner Blackberry Bliss card – 3” by ⅞” Blackberry Bliss Scrap for die cutting
Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner Polished Pink card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside – Rounded upper right corner Blackberry Bliss card – 3¼” by 1¼” Blackberry Bliss Scrap for die cutting
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Using the gorgeous Summer Shadows Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I die cut the solid flower randomly across the Basic White panel measuring 5⅞” by 4⅛”.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
The die cut panel was then placed over the top of one of the 5½” by 3¾” Basic White panel and held in place with washi tape. The die cut panel is deliberately larger than the panel below and will be trimmed down later.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
I used Blending Brushes to apply ink to the layers starting with Petal Pink, moving on to Flirty Flamingo, then Polished Pink and finishing with Magenta Madness. This gives a lovely ombre effect.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Carefully peel off the larger inked layer to reveal the inked flowers underneath. Set the larger panel to one side to use on the next card.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Use the small panel of Basic White with the die cut flower as a mask, placing it over each inked flower in turn. Stamp the small flower from Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink, onto the inked flower before moving onto the next. Set to one side to dry.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Die cut enough detailed flowers, from scrap Blackberry Bliss card, to edge each of your inked flowers. To add the detailed flowers to the panel I squeezed some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon Craft Sheet and used a piece of Sponge to add glue to the back of the die cut.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
The decorated panel was then added to the Blackberry Bliss layer with liquid glue and then to the Polished Pink card base on Dimensionals.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Next, take the large inked panel that was set aside and glue it to the remaining Basic White panel. Use a trimmer to cut off the excess card and adhere the whole panel to the Polished Pink panel with liquid glue.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Die cut more of the detailed flowers from scrap Blackberry Bliss card stock and use the same glue and sponge method to glue then to the panel. Add the whole piece to the Blackberry Bliss card base on Dimensionals.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Summer Shadows Dies used to make a card made for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop
Stamp the sentiments in Versamark ink onto the small pieces of Blackberry Bliss card, cover with White Embossing Powder and heat set with a Heat Tool. Add one sentiment to each card front. With liquid glue.

For a finishing touch I added Matte Black Dots to the centres of all the flowers on both cards.

Today I am sharing a pretty card designed using the Summer Shadow Dies as my customer Make & Take for August 2021. Anyone who orders from me during the month will get this kit through the mail with instructions on how to make the card.
To recreate the Summer Shadow card, you will need:
Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner Evening Evergreen – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded upper left corner, one for the inside Pansy Petals dsp – 5½” by 1” Pansy Petals dsp – 4” by ½” Scrap Fresh Freesia, Gorgeous Grape, Soft Succulent and Basic White

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Summer Shadow Dies used to make a pretty floral card for my August customer make & take.
The sentiment, from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink. My customers will have to chose a sentiment from their own stash.
The whole panel was added to the Evening Evergreen layer with the same glue and I used the same glue to adhere the panel to the Fresh Freesia card base.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Summer Shadow Dies used to make a pretty floral card for my August customer make & take.
I used liquid glue to adhere the die cut detailed flowers to the flower bases. I had to move them around until they lined up. The liquid glue was squeezed out onto my Silicon Craft Mat, picked up with a Sponge Dauber and dabbed on the back of the detailed flower.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Summer Shadow Dies used to make a pretty floral card for my August customer make & take.

For this month’s classes we have been playing with Blends Markers and Alcohol using the Artistically Inked stamp set and co-ordinating Artistic Dies. This card was designed to show the versatility of the Blends Alcohol Markers.
To use on 2 of the cards you will need ½ a sheet of Vellum card which will be cut down and/or die cut into after being inked and allowed to dry
We began the class by creating the inked Vellum sheet. We used the dark Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Inking Vellum technique using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
We then, using a pipette dropped small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum allowing the ink to start spreading. Smaller drops were added with a paintbrush and some people blurred the lines between colours with a paintbrush. Some chose a more subtle blending by spraying the alcohol on with a Spritzer, allowing the colours to run.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Inking Vellum technique using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry while we got on with making the first card.
To recreate the Single Flower card, you will need:
Magenta Madness card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner Daffodil Delight card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside Scrap Basic White card
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Alcohol inking direct to stamps using Blends Alcohol Markers from Stampin’ Up!
Taking the largest flower from the stunning Artistically Inked stamp set, we added ink directly to the stamp using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker. The inked stamp was then misted with alcohol using a Stampin’ Spritzer and stamped down onto the Basic White panel.
The double leaf image was inked in the same way with the Just Jade Blends Marker and spritzed before stamping beside the flower.
The flower centre was stamped in Bumblebee ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It was added to the centre of the flower on a Dimensional.
We added the sentiment from the same stamp set in Bumblebee ink before gluing the stamped layer to the Daffodil Delight panel. This was then added to the Magenta Madness card front on Dimensionals.
Using the dark Just Jade Blends Marker we coloured 3 Basic Pearls and added them to the card front.
Using a 2-way glue pen we drew stripes onto the pink flower, radiating out from the centre and rubbed on some Gold Gilding Flakes for a little sparkle

We cut the inked vellum panel down to 5½” by 3¾” and squeezed out some liquid adhesive onto a Silicon mat and using a sponge, spread the glue lightly over the back of the Vellum before sticking it down to the Basic White panel. The white background really makes the colours shine.
This layer was then added with liquid glue to the Pumpkin Pie panel and then added to the Thick Basic White card front on Dimensionals.
Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine we die cut the gorgeous intricate flowers and leaves from the panel of Basic Black card and added it to the card front using the glue on a sponge technique.
The sentiment from was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic Black card, covered by White Embossing Powder and set using a Heat Tool. When the embossing was dry, we coloured it using the Magenta Madness and Daffodil Delight Blends markers.
The sentiment was trimmed out and the ends flagged before it was added to the card front on Dimensionals. So pretty.

From the left-over panel of inked Vellum we die cut the intricate leaves and added them suing the glue on a sponge technique to the panel of Basic White. This was then added to the Magenta Madness layer using the liquid glue.
The strip of Magenta Madness card was then added with liquid glue to the bottom for the die cut leaves. The whole piece was the added to the Thick Basic White card front with liquid glue.
The sentiment was stamped in Magenta Madness ink onto scrap Basic White, punched out using the Double Oval Punch and glued it to the Daffodil Delight scalloped oval punched out using the same punch. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
Using the dark Magenta Madness Blends Marker we coloured in a piece of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon, tied a bow and added it to the card front. We also coloured a trio of Basic Pearls with the same pink Blends Marker and added then to the card front.
Such striking cards, I hope you like them.
