Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, I embossed the panel of Basic White with the Brick & Mortar embossing folder. The strip of 2021 – 2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum was glued to the back of the embossed panel and the whole piece was added to the card base on Dimensionals.

I stamped the larger flower in Magenta Madness ink onto scrap Basic White card. The smaller flower and flower centre were then stamped in Pale Papaya ink and the leaves stamped in Shaded Spruce ink. The images were then die cut using the Artistic Dies and my Cut & Emboss Machine.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White card in Pale Papaya ink. I trimmed the strip and flagged the end with Scissors before adding it to the card front with glue.

Stamp ‘N Hop – Garden Impressions

Stamp 'N Hop blog hop by Mo Rootes

Welcome to this month’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop, if you have hopped over from Jenn Charles I am sure you love her gorgeous projects. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK and you are very welcome to my blog where the theme of this month’s hop is our favourite new Designer Series Paper (dsp). I love dsp but have struggled in the past to cut into it……..it is so pretty…….what’s a girl to do!

However, since I began offering my ladies a regular Stamp-a-Stack option with projects based around a pack of dsp, I have had to start cutting into my lovely stash and I am so happy I did. I love the dimension these gorgeous papers add to the cards I design and my ladies also love them.

For today’s projects I have chosen to use the vibrant and so summery Garden Impressions dsp . I love the bright and cheerful floral patterns in this pack.

The card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘N Hop Garden Impressions

For my card today I chose one of my favourite papers and cut a panel of dsp measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I adhered it to a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Multipurpose adhesive. This panel was then added to the front of a So saffron card base using the same adhesive.

Taking a strip of So Saffron cardstock 5⅞” by ¼”and a Night of Navy ink pad and stamped the sentiment, chosen from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set all the way across. This strip was then adhered to the card front using the Multipurpose liquid adhesive.

I die cut a gorgeous dragonfly from Whisper White cardstock using my Big shot and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits. Using my Bone Folder I curled the wings to give some dimension to the card and adhered it to the card front using 3 Mini Glue Dots on the body. To give a little sparkle I added 2 gold Faceted Dots to the dragonfly body.

The Envelope Punch Board Treat Box

I then made a small box to match using my Envelope Punch Board. I started with a 6” by 6” piece of dsp and punched and scored it at 3½” and 3¼” then rotated the dsp 90⁰ and lined up the pointer with the score lines punching and scoring all the way around.

I cut up each of the 4 small tabs using my sharp Paper Snips, taking a small wedge from each side to ensure that the box would close neatly. After folding and burnishing all the score lines with my Bone Folder I applied a glue dot to 2 of the tabs and folded them in to close the sides and back of the box. I will close the top flap with a glue dot when I have added my gift.

I die cut another dragonfly from Whisper White cardstock using the Detailed dragonfly Thinlit dies and added it to the front of the box using Mini Glue Dots. I stamped the same sentiment onto a small strip of So saffron cardstock in Night of Navy ink and tucked it under the dragonfly body after flagging one end. I added 2 Facet Dots to the dragonfly body and the project was finished.

The gorgeous Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly

A Detailed Dragonfly

Today I have been playing with the gorgeous Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and the stunning Share What You Love Designer Series Paper (dsp).

The gorgeous Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly using Stampin’ Up! product

I began by choosing one of the beautiful patterns from this dsp stack and after a lot of deliberation I went with one of the bolder patterns and cut a piece 5⅜” by 3⅝” using my Paper Trimmer.  I added the dsp to a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5½” by 3¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive before adding the whole panel to a Rich Razzleberry card base using the same glue. I really feel that the Whisper White layer makes the coloured dsp ‘pop’.

The gorgeous Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly

I die cut the largest stitched oval from a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies and my Big Shot. I stamped the greeting from the Hand Delivered stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink towards the bottom of the oval. I added the die cut oval to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals,

Taking a piece of Basic Black cardstock and my Big Shot I die cut the intricate dragonfly using the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits dies. I added some Glitter Enamel Dots to the body of the dragonfly and placed the dragonfly onto the oval with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Such a simple but effective card. I hope you like it.
