The striped teacup was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Basic White card. The small tag was stamped in Soft Suede ink and the sentiment added it Sweet Sorbet ink. I also stamped the larger flower in Blushing Bride and Sweet Sorbet ink. All of these images were die cut using the Teacup Dies.

The larger leafy sprig was stamped on the smaller panel of Basic White card in Soft Sea Foam ink and a Blushing Bride flower added. The clump of leaves and stems were stamped in Garden Green ink and the group of flowers added in Sweet Sorbet. The whole panel was glued to the Sweet Sorbet layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Posted on March 21, 2023March 17, 2023 by Mo Rootes

As part of my husband’s recent birthday, I had arranged a proper Afternoon Tea for us both to enjoy. There is a wonderful place near us that serves afternoon tea in old refurbished Pullman Train carriages, such a great atmosphere. I made this little card for my husband to open on his birthday to let him know that he had this treat in store and today is the day

Colours used in this project are:

Basic White

Daffodil Delight

Starry Sky

To recreate the tea for two card, you will need:

Daffodil Delight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 4¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 4½” by 3½”

The same image was then stamped again in Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Teacup Dies.

I stamped 2 lemon slices in Daffodil Delight ink onto scrap Basic White card and these were then die cut using the same set of dies.

Using a Blending Brush, I swirled some Daffodil Delight ink in the centre of the small panel of Basic White card and added the die-cut cup and lemon slices to the right-side. The decorated panel was then added to the Starry Sky panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A Christmas in July card made using the Cup of Tea and Christmas Seasons stamp sets by Stampin' Up! for the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Cup of Christmas Foliage for the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on July 14, 2022July 8, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas In July’. I love a bit of Christmas crafting and in my opinion, you can’t start early enough. I have made a cup of Christmas Foliage today.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the cup of Christmas foliage card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card

I stamped the largest leafy sprig in Pool Party ink in the upper left and lower right corners of the Pool Party panel. I wrapped a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. I added it to the Pool Party card front using Mini Glue Dots. This gives the panel a little height and shadow.
