Stampin' Up! Jar of Flowers stamp set used to make a pretty floral card

Blue Glass Jar

Posted on August 16, 2020August 11, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a blue glass jar card inspired by a Youtube video made by a fellow demonstrator Kathy of Kathy’s Stampin World – – she made a really cute card with a milk glass effect mason jar and I thought I would give it a try.

To recreate the Blue Glass Jar card you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
So Saffron – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Scrap Whisper White

I began by painting the inside of the mason jar with blue metallic paint and setting it aside to dry. Once dry it was very patchy so I gave it another coat using a green metallic paint and again set it to one side to dry. I really liked the 2 tone look this gave.

I stamped the flowers from the Jar of Flowers stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Whisper White card and cut them out using sharp scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

The image was coloured in using the following Blends Markers – So Saffron, Purple Posy, Flirty Flamingo, Balmy Blue, Just Jade, Mint Macaron, Pool Party and Soft Suede

Using the Jar Punch I punched out the jar from one of the Whisper White panels. The mason jar was inserted into the punched out hole and the protective adhesive layer removed to adhere it to the back of the Whisper White panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

I popped the punched out Whisper White jar onto the back of the mason jar and adhered it with a little tape. The whole panel was added to the So Saffron layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was added to the Just Jade card base with the same glue.

I felt the panel looked a little bare so added some dots in Just Jade ink taking card to mask the sides not to get ink on the So Saffron layer or the card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful blue glass jar of flowers for a pretty floral card

The flowers were added to the card front on Dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Home stamp set on scrap Whisper White card and cut out a tag with scissors. I added it to the jar with a glue dot and finished the card off with a double Linen Thread bow.

I hope you like it.

To recreate the checked magnolia cards you will need;

Thick Whisper White card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾”

Seaside Spray card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Blueberry Bushel cardstock 5⅝” by 3⅞”

The large magnolia bloom was then stamped over the top of both panels in Memento Tuxedo Black. To get a good dark image these were stamped 2 or 3 times.

I die cut both the magnolias using the Magnolia Memory dies.

I mounted the Seaside Spray checked panel to the Blueberry Bushel layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Blueberry Bushel magnolia into the negative space on Dimensionals and added the whole piece to the Seaside Spray card base. The sentiment was stamped in Seaside Spray ink.

The sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink and the entire layer added to the Thick Whisper White card base on Dimensionals.

Posted on March 17, 2019March 16, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I don’t know about you but I buy our gorgeous Designer Series Paper (dsp). I admire it and stroke it and yes occasionally sniff it but I rarely use it………..what is that all about! So this year I have decided to do something about it. So with this in mind I got out thee beautiful Petal Promenade, found a sketch on Pinterest………I love Pinterest and set to work.

I started by selecting the dsp patterns I wanted to use – one busy pattern and one fairly solid pattern and cut them down to the sizes above using my Trimmer.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty floral card made using the Petal Promenade designer series paper (dsp)

Next I chose and scored my card base and cut my Calypso Coral and Mossy Meadow layers and rounded the upper right corner of all the pieces using the Detailed Trio Punch and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The Basic Pearls were coloured using the dark Calypso Coral Blend pen and added to the butterfly and sentiment.
