Sea Themed Card For A Special Birthday

Posted on June 27, 2022July 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing fancy fold cards. My sea themed card was made for our niece’s special birthday and the theme reflects her love of the sea, swimming and diving.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Sea themed card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 11” by 5½” – scored on the long-side at 1¾”, 3½”, 5¼” by 7”
Starry Sky card – 5” by 3½” – scored on the long-side at 2½”
Starry Sky card – 5⅜” by 1⅝” x 2
Starry Sky card – 5⅜” by 3⅞”
Rings of Love dsp – 5¼” by 1½” x 2
Rings of Love dsp – 5¼” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 3⅜” by 2⅜” x 3
Scrap Silver Foil & Basic White

Using my Bone Folder, I burnished the score-lines of both scored panels of card and set the smaller Starry Sky piece to one side.

I glued the panels of dsp to the long panels of Starry Sky card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The largest piece was then glued to the larger panel of the Thick Basic White card. I skipped a panel and added one of the long thin pieces to the next panel. The final panel was adhered to the outermost panel of the card front. With the smaller panels on your left, you should have a decorated panel on the first flap, third panel and fifth or back panel.

The large wave stamp was inked up with Mint Macaron ink and Starry Sky ink added randomly with a Sponge Dauber. The image was then stamped on each of the three panels of Basic White card

I die cut the numbers from the, sadly retired, Large Number Dies and added them to one of the stamped panels with liquid glue. I added a trio of birds in flight around the numbers. The sentiment, from the Go To Greetings stamp set, was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card, trimmed down with scissors and added to the panel.

The swimsuits from the Sunny Splash stamp set, where stamped in Starry Sky or Polished Pink ink onto scrap Basic White card and fussy cut out. They were added to the second and third stamped panels. A trio of birds were stamped on each piece.

Ink Pad Boxes for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on June 25, 2022July 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop where we are sharing 3 D projects. I am sharing the box I created to hold a Stampin’ Up! Ink pad. For every sixth class my customers attend they get to choose an ink pad of their choice and I decorate this box to match their colour choice.

Colours used in this project are:

Basic White

Pumpkin Pie

Soft Suede

To recreate the ink pad holder, you will need:

Basic White card – 11¼” by 5¼” – scored on the long-side at ¾”, 5 ¼”, 6” and 10½” and on the short-side at ¾” by 4½”
Designer Series Paper – 4¼” by 3½”
Soft Suede card – 2½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 2½” by 2½”
Scrap Basic White

I used my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the Basic White card as detailed above.

Using sharp scissors, I cut free the 3 tabs on either side, notching in the sides. I also cut a wedge from each side of the box top as shown in the picture. A ½” Circle Punch was used to provide a notch at the front of the box to make it easier to open.

This customer chose a Pumpkin Pie ink pad so I cut a piece of Regals Designer Series Paper at 4¼” by 3½”. I like to match the colour dsp to the ink pad chosen and often use retired dsp to decorate.

I stamped the sentiment from the from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink and die cut it out using one of the Layering Circle Dies. A scalloped circle was then die cut using the same set of dies and added it to the back of the sentiment.

The letters from the Alphabest stamp set were stamped in Soft Suede ink and punched out using the co-ordinating Best Label Punch. They were added to the back of the stamped circle using Seal +. The circle was then added to the box top on Dimensionals.

I stamped the 2 larger flowers from the Flowers of Friendship stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink onto scrap Basic White card. They were punched out using the Flowers & Leaves Punch. I shaped them using a Bone Folder, coloured them in with Pumpkin Pie Blends and added them to the front of the box.

A pretty floral card made using the pretty Vintage Christams stamp set for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Vintage Bottle card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Posted on June 23, 2022July 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we have been given a colour challenge. I have chosen to use one of the sets I pre-ordered from the July – December Mini Catalogue called Vintage Christmas. I do love a set that co-ordinates with something I already have and this set pairs with the Vintage Bottle Punch.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Vintage Bottle card, you will need:

Melon Mambo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 3¾” by 2⅜”
Basic White card – 4” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 1½” by 1½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

I began by stamping the taller bottle with Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card and punching it out using the Vintage Bottle Punch.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using Tahitian Tide ink, I stamped the smaller bottle onto the 4” by 2¾” panel of Basic White card. I placed the punched bottle overlapping the stamped bottle, for placement and stamped the trio of flowers in Melon Mambo ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using Parakeet Party ink, I stamped the single sprig around the flowers. I deliberately didn’t ink up the berries at the base of the sprig. The flower centres were added using the same ink. The tall bottle was then glued to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was then die cut using a Stitched Rectangle Die. The stitched rectangle was then glued to the Starry Sky panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using the trio of flowers, I stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Melon Mambo card base using Melon Mambo ink. At this point I decided I needed more white in the background so I cut the 1½” square of Basic White card on the diagonal and added one triangle to the upper left corner and the other to the lower right corner of the stamped panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

The stamped piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals. The sentiment, from the Cup of Tea stamp set was inked up in Starry Sky ink and stamped onto scrap Basic White card. I then trimmed it out, flagging the ends before I added it to the card front.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we a sharing cards made for the men in our lives. I have gone a bit out of the box and made a striped romance card using the Ranunculus Romance stamp set……… not a set I would normally think of for a masculine style card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the striped romance card, you will need:

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner

The long intricate border image was inked up with Tahitian Tide ink and stamped diagonally onto the smaller layer of Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Ranunculus Romance stamp set used to make a masculine card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

I cleaned the stamp on my Simply Shammy and stamped the image again in Starry Sky ink and once more in Orchid Oasis ink.

I repeated the pattern until the whole panel was covered, cleaning the stamp between each change of colour. The stamped panel was then added to the Orchid Oasis layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Ranunculus Romance stamp set used to make a masculine card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The Tahitian Tide card base looked a little plain so I stamped the image again in Tahitian Tide ink in the upper left and lower right corners before adding the decorative piece on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. I added a scrap piece of Starry night card behind the sentiment and timed it down to size before adding it to the card front.

Starry Sky card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”

Using my Grid Paper and a ruler I measured down 1¼” and using a pencil drew a line across one of the larger panels of Basic White card. I drew another line about 1 ½” lower. This helped me to arrange my stamping.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

I began by stamping the leafy sprig in Parakeet Party above and below the lines. The Sweet Sorbet flower was stamped next.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

I used Starry Sky ink to add centres to all the flowers. The decorated panel was then glued to the Starry Sky layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the whole panel was added to the Sweet Sorbet card base using the same glue. I used a clean rubber to erase the pencil lines.

The larger part of the sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink and the smaller sentiment added using Sweet Sorbet………I messed this up and ended up re-stamping it onto scarp Basic white and die cutting it out using one of the labels from the co-ordinating Sending Dies. I added this over the badly stamped words using liquid adhesive. This piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.
