Note of Thanks card for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Training Blog Hop

Posted on August 16, 2021July 16, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Here is a little note of thanks made using the pretty Season’s Blessings stamp set for the Kylie Bertucci demo training blog hop. Hello and welcome to my blog and to this months hop. I hope you will hop on to see what inspirations my demo friends have to share with us today.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the note of thanks card, you will need:

Daffodil Delight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower left and upper right corners
Poppy Parade card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left and upper right corners
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded lower left and upper right corners
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left and upper right corners – for the inside
Basic White card – 3½” by 2½”

I chose a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies, placed it in the centre of the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White and drew round the inside lightly with a pencil. This helps with placement of the flowers and leaves.

I selected three flowers and 2 leaves from the Season’s Blessings stamp set. The largest flower was stamped in Poppy Parade ink, slightly over lapping the drawn shape. I added the next flower in Daffodil Delight and the smallest flower in Highland Heather ink.

The leaves were stamped in Just Jade and Garden Green.

Next, I added the flower centres in either Poppy Parade or Daffodil Delight and used the same flower centre in Highland Heather to add purple dots around the grouping of flowers. The whole panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped White Baker’s Twine twice around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Daffodil Delight card base with glue.

Posted on August 14, 2021August 12, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I have chosen to use the Feels Like Home stamp set, a free choice from the Sale-A-Bration brochure with a £45 order, and a bit of water colouring.

Colours used in this project are:

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the image in Basic Gray ink. I find I get a better image using the Stamparatus especially on this textured paper.

I like to use the lid of my inkpads as my palette, either by squeezing the pad to the lid or adding a drop of re-inker directly into the lid and adding water.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful water coloured card made using the Feels Like Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using a Water Painter, I added a light wash of water to the tree, then added Old Olive ink and allowed it to spread. I moved on to paint the wall in the same way with Blushing Bride ink

The door was painted using Poppy Parade ink and the door surround and decking in Smoky Slate. The window in the door was coloured using Bumblebee ink.

The plant pots were painted with Misty Moonlight ink and the leaves and flowers added using Old Olive, Blushing Bride and Poppy Parade ink. The basket and seat of the bike were coloured with Soft Suede ink

I used my Soft Suede Stampin’ Write maker to define the door panels and the tree branches and used a Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Write Marker to draw in the bicycle.

The ‘ground’ was stamped in 2^nd generation Soft Suede ink to give the effect of an horizon.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Welcoming Woods stamp set used for a masculine themed card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I punched a circle using the 1” Circle Punch, placed it over the tree trunks to provide a ‘moon’. Using a Blending Brush I added Balmy Blue ink, lightly from the horizon line to the top of the card. I kept the colour light as I wanted a wintery sky effect. The masked circle was then removed.

The ground was coloured with a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink and I added the speckles from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Soft Suede ink to give the ground some texture. The stamped panel was added to the Balmy Blue layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

Using Blending Brushes, I added Gray Granite ink to the bottom of the outer panel and Bermuda Bay ink to the upper part of the outer panel. I added some texture to the bottom using the dotty image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Gray Granite ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

Taking the inner piece I stamped the mountains, from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite ink and muddied the bottom using the small ‘cloud’ image from the Mountain Air stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Gray Granite. The sea and sky were both inked with Bermuda Bay ink, I just went lighter with the sky and added a 1” circle mask for the moon. The sea texture was added using a stamp from the Arctic Bears stamp set in Bermuda Bay. I place the 2 pieces of inked card together and stamped some birds, from the Mountain Air stamp set, randomly in the sky.

The inner piece was then glued to the Gray Granite panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. And the outer piece added on Dimensionals.

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the lighthouse, from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite ink and repeated the step to get a slightly darker colour. I used a Blender Pen to add ink and to smooth out the colour a little. I also added a little Daffodil Delight ink as a lighthouse is nothing without a light! The lighthouse was added with glue and Dimensionals overlapping the inset panel.

A pretty artistically monochromatic card showing the eclipse technique

Artistic Monochromatic Thank You Card

Posted on August 3, 2021July 26, 2021 by Mo Rootes

This is a simple artistic monochromatic thank you card made using the Artistically inked stamp set to showcase the ‘eclipse technique’.

Colours used in this project are:

Poppy Parade

Basic White

To recreate the artistic monochromatic thank you card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Poppy Parade card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”

Scrap Basic White card.

Taking the dark Poppy Parade Blends Alcohol Marker, I coloured in a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and set it aside to dry. I love that with these markers we can have ribbon in almost any colour. The ribbon was then wrapped around the larger Basic White panel and adhered on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glue to the Thick Basic White card front.

On the smallest panel of Basic White card, I stamped the long-textured image in Poppy Parade ink, right across the middle.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

Using a T square ruler, I drew a straight pencil line just below centre and using the Playful Alphabet Dies cut out the letters for the word THANKS. I used washi tape to hold the letters in position whilst running them through the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

The panel that the letters were cut from was glued to the Poppy Parade panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

Using the same dies I die cut 2 more of each letter from Basic White card, glued each pair together and added the stamped letter on top. This gives each letter some height and definition. The letters were then glued into the negative spaces on the card front using the liquid glue.
