Vintage Ranunculus card for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Blog Hop

Posted on June 13, 2022June 5, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Blog Hop where we are share ideas for customer thank you cards. My vintage ranunculus card is made using a rustic colour palette.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the vintage ranunculus thank you card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Merry Merlot card – 5¼” by 3½”
Crumb Cake card – 5” by 3¼”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾”
Vellum card – 3½” by 3½”
Scrap Very Vanilla card

Using Versamark ink, I randomly stamped the scripty image and the spray of flowers image onto the panel of Crumb Cake card. I covered the ink with Gold Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. The embossed panel was then added to the Merry Merlot layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same ink to glue the panel to the Crumb Cake card front.

I mounted the ranunculus flower image onto one of the Stamparatus plates. I inked the image up using the Garden Green and Merry Merlot Stamp ‘n Write Markers. I repeated this a couple of times to get the depth of colour I wanted.

The image was then die cut using the Ranunculus Dies.

I die cut a stitched circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and trimmed off the right-hand side. The flower image was added to the Vellum using dabs of liquid glue. The Vellum piece was then added on Dimensionals, hidden behind the flower to the card front.

Stampin' Up!'s Simply Fabulous stamp set and Fern 3D Embossing Folder used to make a pretty fabulous fern floral card

Fabulous Fern card

Posted on June 8, 2022June 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

This card was made for one of my lovely team members using the Simply Fabulous stamp set. Every month team members are rewarded for sales and recruiting with a voucher and this team mate has chosen to trade hers in for the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. This Fabulous Fern card was made especially for her.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the fabulous fern card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Granny Apple Green – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner
Granny Apple Green card – 3¼” by ⅞”
Basic White card – 3 ¼” by ¾”

Firstly, I chose my sentiment from the Simply Fabulous stamp set. I worked out what size strip I needed to stamp it on and then used a ruler to draw faint lines across the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card where I planned to place the sentiment.

I stamped the leafy images from the Simply Fabulous stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink.
