Up in the Air

Posted on by

Thank you for joining me today for the Hopping Around The World monthly blog hop where our theme is ‘Up in the Air’. Such a fun topic……. I have chosen to use the new Snowflake Wishes stamp set for my card. It has been so hot in the UK this month that I am dreaming of a sky whirling with cold snowflakes………bliss

To recreate the Up in the Air card you will need

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Misty Moonlight – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2

Using large Post It Notes I masked a 1½” strip from top to bottom of one of the Whisper White layers.

I added colour to the masked area using sponges. I started with Blushing Bride ink, then Purple Posy ink and finally Pool Party ink blending each colour into the next.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet little treat box made using the Joyful Holly stamp set

I began by using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the Real Red panel . I scored on the long side at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8”. The short side was scored at 2”, 5” and 7”

The stamped panel was then cut into 1⅞” strips. These strips were cut down to 2⅞”. You need 4 pieces 2⅞” by 1⅞” for the panels of the box and 1 piece 1⅞” by 1⅞” for the top of the box.

These panels were adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A cute poinsetta stamped mini treat box and a hand stamped snowman candle using Stampin' Up! product

Snowman candle for December Classes

Posted on by

Classes this week were so much fun as we were making some of the gorgeous Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes and stamping on candles using the Snowman Season and Cup of Christmas stamp sets. We began by making the cute candle.

To recreate the Snowman candle you will need:

White Tissue Paper
Greaseproof or wax paper
Momento Tuxedo Black Ink
Blends – dark Cherry Cobbler, dark Bermuda bay & dark Pumpkin Pie

Using the Memento ink we stamped the snow man onto the slightly smoother, slightly glossier side of the tissue paper. After I bit of trial and error one of my team members and I noticed that the ink stayed a darker if stamped on the smooth side.

A sweet little snowman candle ready for Christmas

www.crafty-rootes.com – a gorgeous hand stamped candle using the Snowman Seasons stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using Scissors we cut away the excess tissue paper around the image and placed the stamped image, ink side up onto the candle

A long thin piece of greaseproof paper, slightly wider than the candle was wrapped the candle with the excess gathered at the back of the candle to act as a handle.

We used a Heat Tool to set the image into the candle. The trick is to apply the heat quite close – about 2 – 3 inches away from the greaseproof. If you watch carefully you will see the ink darken and the edges of the tissue paper disappear. Then roll the candle from side to side a couple of times on a hard surface to smooth out any lumpy areas then gently peel away the greasproof. If you can still see tissue paper then repeat the heating step. We stamped a sentiment and applied it to the candle in the same way.

Taking the following Blends markers we coloured in the image on the candle – dark Cherry Cobbler, dark Bermuda Bay & dark Pumpkin Pie

To recreate the Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes you will need:

5½” by 5½” piece of Whisper White cardstock x 2
Scrap Whisper White

The ladies die cut the Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes from the Whisper White cardstock panels. The also die cut 2 of the cute tags from the same set of dies.

We stamped the snowflakes from the Snowman Season stamp set randomly over the 4 sides of one of the boxes in Pool party ink. And for the other box we used the small poinsettia image from the Cup of Christmas stamp set in Real Red ink stamping once on each panel.

We folded on all the score lines and used a bone folder to curl each of the sides. The ladies then put the boxes together tucking the tags inside for safe keeping to be added to the box after they have filled it.

Bright summery colours with the Beautiful Baubles stamp set

Brightly Coloured Baubles

Posted on by

I posted a card using the amazing Beautiful Bauble stamp set back in October and decided to re-make it as a brightly coloured bauble card using non-traditional summery colours colours.

Re making the Beautiful Bauble card

I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper 4½” by 3”. I rubbed the Embossing Buddy over the paper to get rid of oils and static before stamping the large bauble randomly across the panel with Versamark ink. I then covered the panel in White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.

Bright summery colours with the Beautiful Baubles stamp set

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bright summery colours with the Beautiful Baubles stamp set

I chose to colour my baubles using Mango Melody and Melon Mango which were the colours used by Alisa Tilsner in the original blog post I saw. I added a couple of drops of each of the re-inkers to a clear block. I then added water to one bauble using an Aquapainter, picked up some of the re-inker with the Aquapainter and added it to the bauble. I love the way the ink moves in the water. I coloured each bauble one at a time.

Bright summery colours with the Beautiful Baubles stamp set

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bright summery colours with the Beautiful Baubles stamp set

When all the baubles were coloured in I left the panel to dry before adding it with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a layer of Melon Mambo cardstock measuring 4⅝” by 3⅛”. I took a Thick Whisper White card base and added a strip of Mango Melody cardstock measuring 4⅛” by 2” to the front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The embossed panel was added on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Versamark onto a strip of Melon Mambo cardstock and covered it with White Embossing Powder. I heat set it using my Heat tool before flagging the ends and adding it to the front of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I really love this colour combo, the card looks gorgeous.

Embossing with the Blizzard Thinlit dies

Embossing with the Blizzard Thinlit die

Posted on by

At team training last week Mikaela – my team leader – brought the gorgeous Blizzard Thinlit die and the new Embossing Mats for us to try out and asked us to make a card featuring the embossed piece…….this is mine.

Making the Blizzard Card

Embossing with the Blizzard Thinlit dies

www.crafty-rootes.com – Embossing using the Blizzard thinlit dies by Stampin’ Up!

To emboss the panel we started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock big enough to cover the entire die. We used the Big Shot Platform, then the die face up, then the cardstock, then the thin blue silicon sheet and lastly the white embossing plate and ran the sandwich through the Big Shot. The effect is stunning and you can use either the positive or negative sides. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut the panel down to 4¾” by 3⅜” and rounded the upper left and lower right corners using the Detailed trio Punch.

Embossing with the Blizzard Thinlit dies

www.crafty-rootes.com – Embossing using the Blizzard thinlit dies by Stampin’ Up!

I added the embossed layer to a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5” by 3⅝” after rounding the same corners.  This panel was then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a Night of Navy card base with identically rounded corners.

I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using an oval from the Stitched Shapes dies. I stamped the sweet little snowflake cluster on the bottom of the die cut piece in Pool Party ink.

Embossing with the Blizzard Thinlit dies

www.crafty-rootes.com – Embossing using the Blizzard thinlit dies by Stampin’ Up!

I added a small piece of Tear ‘N Tape to the card front, wrapped some Silver Metallic Thread around my hand and added it to the Tear ‘N Tape. The sentiment piece was then added over the thread on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Taking some scrap Whisper White cardstock I die cut some of the snowflakes using the Blizzard die and added one to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To finish I added some Basic Rhinestones.

Let me know what you think.

Christmas card using Beautiful Bauble stamp set

Beautiful Bauble Christmas card

Posted on by

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.

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.

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.

Spirited Snowman for Christmas

Spirited Snowmen for a Stamp’N Hop

Posted on by

My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. If you have hopped over from the lovely Eva Pottsova I am sure you loved her project. One of the first things that caught my eye in the new Holiday Catalogue was the adorable Spirited Snowmen stamp set. Those snowmen are just sooooo cute.

Dancing Snowman card

For the first card I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4 ¼” by 2 ¾” which I placed in my Stamparatus. I inked up the Buffalo Check stamp with Poppy Parade ink and stamped it down. I find using the big background stamps with the Stamparatus gives a much better image. I added the stamped piece to a panel of Poppy Parade cardstock 4⅜” by 2⅞” and added it to a Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next I stamped the Dancing Snowman in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White 3” by 3” and used the Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Soft Suede markers to colour him in. He looks so happy doesn’t he?

Spirited Snowman for Christmas

www.carfty-rootes.com – Spirited Snowman stamp st by Stampin’Up! for sweet Christmas cards

I die cut the snowman using the Layering Circles dies and the Big Shot and die cut a slightly larger Blueberry Bushel scalloped circle and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set in Blueberry Bushel and added the image to the right side of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To complete the card I added some Red Rhinestones and a Blueberry Bushel bow with a Mini Glue Dots.

Skating Snowman card

I started with a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock 5⅞” by 4⅛”. I placed this in the Stamparatus, inked up the large Buffalo Check background stamp with Blueberry Bushel ink and stamped it onto the Balmy Blue cardstock. The stamped Buffalo Check piece was then cut on the diagonal using the Stampin’ Trimmer and adhered to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base.

Spirited Snowman for Christmas

I cut a strip of Silver Foil at 6” by ¼” and adhered it to the card front above the stamped panel leaving a small gap between the two pieces.

I stamped the gorgeous ‘skating snowman’ onto a panel of Whisper White approximately 3” by 3” and coloured it in using the Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede and Pumpkin Pie Markers. He looks adorable. The piece was the die cut using the Big Shot and the Layering Circles dies.

I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Blueberry Bushel cardstock and added it to the stamped circle. I then die cut a slightly larger circle from Poppy parade and adhered it to the back of the scalloped circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.  This piece was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a scattering of Red Rhinestones was added for that bit of extra sparkle.

The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and backed by a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock. I banner cut the end and stuck it to the card front.
