Bunting and Balloon card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on May 6, 2023May 6, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing Pre-order product. I have used the lovely Beautiful Balloons stamp set and co-ordinating Beautiful Balloons Dies to make a great bunting and balloon card which could be used for a boy.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the bunting and balloon card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card

Using Soft Sea Foam ink, I randomly stamped the string of bunting down the panel of 5¼” by 3½” Basic White card. I repeated this step using Balmy Blue ink. The panel was then glued to the Starry Sky panel and then to the Soft Sea Foam card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and Tailor-Made Dies I cut the largest tag from the

4¼” by 2¼” piece of Basic White card. I stamped the sentiment, from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Soft Sea Foam along the bottom of the tag.

Posted on March 13, 2020March 7, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to this months Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where our theme is Girls/Boys. If you have hopped over from Libby Dyson’s blog welcome and I hope you will hop on to see what the other talented demos have to share with us this month.

Like many I find children’s card a bit of a challenge and after a lot of messing about I have decided to go simple and slightly left field.

To recreate the Girls/Boys card you will need:

Bermuda Bay card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Terracotta Tile – 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I took one of the panels of Whisper White and masked off a strip from top to bottom using Post It notes. I used a Sponge to apply Pool Party ink to the exposed strip of card stock.

I removed the Post It Notes and stamped the sweet little balloon in Terracotta Tile, Pacific Point and Bermuda Bay inks onto the inked strip. I love these colours together don’t you.

I added the Terracotta Tile layer to the Bermuda Bay card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive – I decided it looked better offset. The stamped layer was added to the card front, again offset using Dimensionals.

On a scrap of Whisper White card stock I stamped the sentiment banner using Terracotta Tile ink and cut it out using sharp scissors. It was added to the card base with the liquid adhesive.

Wonderful Moments

Posted on August 5, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been using the lady with balloons from the lovely Wonderful Moments stamp set to create a lovely birthday card.

Making the Wonderful Moments Lady with Balloons card

I began by stamping the pretty lady onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4½” by 3” using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I chose this ink as I knew I wanted to colour the image in with Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the balloons in the same ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Wonderful moments lady with balloons for a birthday card

Using the light & dark Rich Razzelberry Stampin’ Blends I coloured in the lady’s dress, her hair and shoes were coloured in using the light & dark Crumb Cake and her skin is Ivory. I coloured in the balloons using the light & dark Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. The image was ‘grounded’ using the light & dark Crumb Cake Blends.

The sentiment from the Hand Delivered stamp set was stamped in Rich Razzelberry ink. I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the upper left corner of the stamped panel and added it to a Basic Black layer 4⅝” by 3⅛” with a rounded corner.

Taking a piece of the Share What You Love dsp measuring 5⅜” by 2½” I added it to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base on the left hand side. The stamped panel was added on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish the card I added a scattering of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

Tutti-Frutti Pandas for Team Training Swaps

Posted on February 23, 2018February 18, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today I’m sharing the swaps Tutti-Frutti Panda cards I have made for tomorrows Team Training Event organised by my lovely Upline Mikaela Titheridge.

wanted to use the absolutely lovely Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes which are one of the free choices with a £45 order in the 2018 Sale-a-Bration brochure. These are so easy to overlook in amongst the more glamourous stamp sets, dsp and dies but they really are lovely, beautiful colours and so versatile. I wanted the pretty card fronts to be seen so looked for a fairly small image for my cards.

www.crafty-rootes.com-Tutti-Frutti-Pandas-For-Team-Training

I settled on the quirky Party Pandas stamp set which is also a free choice from the 2018 Sale-a-Bration brochure. I stamped the sweet panda with the balloon in the lower left corner of a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 2½”. I used Archival Basic Black ink and found I had better results using a stamp positioner such as a Stamparatus with a really well inked pad. I didn’t bother to ink up the balloon as I planned to cover it with dsp balloons. I added the sentiment from the same set in a co-ordinating Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral or Lemon Lime Twist ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com-Tutti-Frutti-Pandas-For-Team-Training

I rounded the upper right corner of the Whisper White cardstock panel using the retired Project life Corner Rounder and added a piece of 3¼” by 1¾” cardstock in either Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral or Lemon Lime Twist behind the lower right corner and added the whole piece to one of the Tutti-Frutti card bases.

www.crafty-rootes.com-Tutti-Frutti-Pandas-For-Team-Training

I punched a selection of large and small balloons from the Bubble & Fizz dsp pack, another free 2018 Sale-a-Bration choice with a £45 order, using the Balloon Bouquet Punch. The smaller balloons were added to the card front with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The larger balloon was added on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Such a cute card and I love that all the items used with the exception of the ink pads were free!!!!
