Posted on March 12, 2019March 11, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card made using the Tea Together stamp set and co-ordinating Tea Time dies. I had also really wanted to try embossing the tea pot with the gorgeous Country Floral embossing folder.

Making the Embossed Tea Together card

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely card made using the Tea Together Stamp set and Tetime framelits by Stampin’ Up!

I began by stamping the teapot in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it out using the Tea Time Dies. After cutting it out I embossed the teapot using the Country Floral embossing Folder. I love how it looks, so pretty.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely card made using the Tea Together Stamp set and Tetime framelits by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the cup and saucer in Memento Tuxedo Black and die cut it using the same set of dies. I stamped the flower in the Memento Tuxedo Black onto the tea cup and coloured it in using the following combo Blends – Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. I added the Mint Macaron to the saucer to pull the colours together.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A lovely card made using the Tea Together Stamp set and Tetime framelits by Stampin’ Up!

I chose a piece of the Grapefruit Grove Gingham Gala designer series paper (dsp) and cut it to 5⅝” by 2”. I added it to a panel of Whisper White measuring 5½” by 2⅛” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a ¼” strip of Mint Macaron to the top of the dsp panel with the same glue.

I stamped the flower in Grapefruit Grove ink onto the front of a Grapefruit Grove card base to add a little extra texture. The dsp panel was added to the bottom of the card front with the multipurpose glue.

CAS Colours & Sketches #305 Challenge using the Home to Roost Sale-a-Bration stamp set

Home to Roost for the CAS Colours & Sketches #305

Posted on January 24, 2019January 23, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I love a good sketch challenge, don’t you, they really push me out of my comfort zone and make me look at my crafty stash in new ways. Today, I am playing along with the CAS Colours and Sketches #304 challenge. This sketch looks deceptively simple but I found it really hard to create something I liked.

Making the card

I quickly decided that the cute chicken from the Home to Roost stamp set was the image I wanted to use for this sketch. I chose 2 patterns from the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper stack (dsp) as the rustic look of these papers goes so well with this stamp set. I cut one piece of dsp 3” by 3” and the second piece at 2 ½” by 2 ½” and added them to the front of a Thick Very Vanilla card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Home to roost stamp set used for the CAS colour & sketches #305 Challenge

I stamped the chicken in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla 2 ½” by 2 ½” and die cut it using my Big Shot and the Layering Circle Framelits. I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Crumb Cake cardstock.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Home to roost stamp set used for the CAS colour & sketches #305 Challenge

Using the gorgeous Blends pens in Crumb Cake, Rich Razzelberry and Old Olive I coloured in the chicken. The stamped layer was added to the scalloped circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Home to roost stamp set used for the CAS colour & sketches #305 Challenge

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Early Espresso onto a ⅜” strip of Very Vanilla cardstock and added it to the card front.

I wondered if I should add some bling to the card but I really don’t feel it needs so decided that less is more and left it alone…….so hard to do…..

Christmas card using Beautiful Bauble stamp set

Beautiful Bauble Christmas card

Posted on September 18, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Last week I was asked to do a demonstration for the local village women’s group and this is the card I shared made using the Beautiful Bauble stamp set.

Beautiful Bauble card

I began by taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3¾” by 3¾”. I ran my Embossing Buddy over the Whisper White panel to remove the static and oils from the cardstock. I inked up the large detailed bauble with Versamark ink and stamped it down onto the Whisper White panel. Then I covered the panel in Copper Embossing Powder, flicking off the excess powder before melting it with my Heat Tool.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bauble Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products

I coloured in the Bauble using the Light & Dark Poppy Parade, Light & Dark Bermuda Bay & Light Pool Party Blends Alcohol Pens. The Whisper White panel was added to a piece of Copper Foil measuring 3⅞” by 3⅞” with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bauble Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products

I added some of the sweet little stars to the right hand side of the Pool Party card base and added the stamped panel with Stampin; Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and adhered to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. As a finishing touch I added some copper sequins from the Metallic Sequins selection using the fantastic new Take a Pick Tool.

I love the sweet little rhino from the Animal Outing stamp set and have used it today for a simple thank you card.

Making the Rhino card

www.crafty-rootes.com- Rhino from the Animal Outings stamp set

I stamped the rhino using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a panel of Whisper White 3” by 3” and die cut it out using the Layering Circle dies and my Big Shot. I coloured the rhino using the Light & Dark Smoky Slate and Ivory Blends pens. The tiny bird was coloured using the Light Calypso Coral. I backed the stamped piece onto a Scalloped circle cut from Calypso Coral cardstock using my Big Shot and Layering Circle Dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com- Rhino from the Animal Outings stamp set

Taking a Thick Whisper White card base I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a piece of Garden Impressions dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” and placed a 4” by ⅜” strip of Shaded Spruce from left to right to add interest to the panel. The stamped panel was then added overtop on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com- Rhino from the Animal Outings stamp set

The sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was inked in Shaded Spruce and stamped onto a 2” by ¼” strip of Whisper White cardstock and cut down to size. It was added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
