I used the light Crumb Cake Blends Marker to add some colour to the lighthouse and the light Smokey Slate Blends Marker to add  ground beneath the lighthouse. The birds were stamped in Bermuda Bay ink.

The gorgous Bird Ballard designer series paper was glued to the Thick Whisper White card front using the same glue. I die cut the ‘rope’ piece from Early Espresso cardstock and the Smooth Sailing dies. The rope piece was then cut in half and adhered to the card front using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched out using the Everyday Label Punch. I punched another label from scrap Coastal Cabana cardstock and adhered the two together. They were added to the back of the stamped panel.

A Lighthouse at High Tide

Today I am sharing the birthday card made for my lovely son. He loves the sea so the Lighthouse from the High Tide stamp set was perfect for his card.

Making the High Tide card

A lighthouse at High Tide for a lovely seaside themed masculine birthday card

I began by taking a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4⅛ by 2” and stamping the ‘ground’ image in 1st and 2nd generation Sahara Sand ink. I then placed the piece of cardstock in my Stamparatus as I find the lighthouse images much easier to line up using this stamping tool. The lighthouse was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and Real Red ink.

The tufts of grass were then added in Mossy Meadow ink and the birds in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The stamped panel was added to a layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock measuring 4⅛” by 2⅛”.

Next I stamped the ‘water’ image from the High Tide stamp set in Blueberry Bushel ink onto a Balmy Blue card base. I added more birds using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the boats from the Lilypad Lake stamp set onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and die cut them using the Lakeside framelit dies and the Big Shot. The boats were then coloured using Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover, Real Red and Crumb Cake markers.

The Lighthouse panel was added to the Balmy Blue card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the boats were then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The ‘water’ image was then stamped on a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and a trio of boats were added. This panel was then glued inside the card with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The same images were stamped on the front of a Whisper White envelope.

I really, really like this card and I hope my son like sit as well.

Flying Home stamp set for a sweet thank you card

Flying Home – a sneak peek

Today I am sharing a sneak peek using the Flying Home stamp set from the new Spring Summer Catalogue which launches in January 2018. As demonstrators we are lucky enough to see new product from upcoming catalogues and also pre order from the new catalogue a month or more before they launch to the public. A fabulous perk of being a demo. Even better those of us who go to OnStage events are given some of the new product for free……. love it……. this is a set I was given.

Thank you card featuring bird houses

www.crafty-rootes.com – Flying Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the adorable trio of bird houses using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 5” by 3” and set about colouring the image using the fantastic new Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I used the following colours: Light & Dark Smoky Slate, Light & Dark Pool Party, Light & Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Cherry Cobbler, Light Old Olive. Light & Dark Calypso Coral, Light & Dark Rich Razzleberry, Light Bermuda Bay, Light & Dark Pink Pirouette, Light Crumb Cake, Light Night of Navy, Ivory. I know colouring in is not for everyone but I love it.

I added the sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. A small strip of Washi Tape from the Basics 3 pack on opposite corners finished off the stamped panel.

I adhered an offset panel of Basic Gray cardstock onto a Bermuda Bay card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The Very Vanilla cardstock layer was added on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

 Such a simple, sweet card. I hope you like it.
