Posted on December 14, 2024December 15, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired by the sounds of the season. I have been inspired by the Christmas carol – Oh, little Town of Bethlehem – and have made an essentially monochromatic card using the Shepherd’s Care stamp set.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the sounds of the season card, you will need:

Basic Beige card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Gold Foil – 5½” by 3¾”
Early Espresso card – 5¼” by 3½”
Season of Elegance dsp – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

The image of the shepherd with lambs was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the panel of Season of Elegance dsp. I added the village using the same ink.

Posted on December 12, 2024November 29, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing Christmas packaging ideas. I have made a self-closing box which I have filled with mini Lindor balls. I originally was inspired by this YouTube video from Linda Parker

Basic White

Real Red

Garden Green

To recreate the self-closing box, you will need:

Garden Green card – 8½” by 6”

Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool, I scored the Garden Green card. On the long side at 4” and 8”. On the short side at 1” and 5”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A self-closing box made using the Reindeer Days designer Series Paper for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

With the long side at the top of the scoreboard and the ½” strip on the right I scored at 2” and 6” but only as far as the first scoreline. I repeated this on White cardstock to make it easier for you to see.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A self-closing box made using the Reindeer Days designer Series Paper for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Taking a ruler and the Take Your Pick Scoring Attachment I scored from the bottom of the 2” scoreline to the right-hand corner of the rectangle and then again to the left-hand corner. I repeated this from the bottom of the 6” scoreline to both other corners.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A self-closing box made using the Reindeer Days designer Series Paper for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I cut away the small rectangles at either end of the ½” tab and cut up all of the remaining scorelines along the long sides. I folded and burnished on all the scorelines beginning with the diagonal scorelines. The cardstock was then folded on the 4” fold and glued to the ½” tab to close the box. At this point I also rounded the corners of the top, longer panels.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A self-closing box made using the Reindeer Days designer Series Paper for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Using a pencil, I marked one side of the 3¾” square of Reindeer Days dsp at 1⅞”. I used my Paper Trimmer to cut from the 1⅞” mark to the lower right corner and then the lower left corner giving three triangles. These were glued to the front of the self-closing box. The four tabs forming the bottom of the box were then glued together.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A self-closing box made using the Reindeer Days designer Series Paper for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I placed a strip of Tear ‘n Tape along the top of the box at the back and wrapped a length of Sheer Silver Edged Ribbon around the box. The ribbon was tied in a bow at the front of the box.
