A sweet birthday card made using the Daisy Punch and the Delightfully Detailed dsp by Stampin' Up!

Delightfully Detailed Daisy

Today I am sharing the sweet card I made earlier this month for a customer’s birthday using the Daisy Punch and a piece of the gorgeous Delightfully Detailed designer series paper (dsp).

Making the Daisy Card

I started by taking a piece of Highland Heather cardstock 5½” by 3¾” and punching 2 daisies from the centre using the Daisy Punch making sure to stay away from the edges. I then took a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhering it to the piece of Highland Heather cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then inserted the whole panel into the 2¼” Circle Punch and punched a hole.

I cut a small piece of the stunning Delightfully Detailed dsp, just enough to place behind the punched circle. I glued the dsp to the front of a Soft Sea Foam after marking where it would show in the circle. I used little dabs of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to secure the dsp. The punched panel was then added to the card front on Stampin Dimensionals.

I used my bone folder to curl the petals of the punched daisies before adhering them together with a couple of Mini Glue Dots, a Clear Faceted Gem was added to the centre. I glued the daisy to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Leaf punch I punched a couple of leaf sprigs and tucked them in behind the flower. The sentiment from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set was stamped in Highland Heather ink onto a scrap of Whisper White which was added to the card front with glue.

I love the soft colours of this card, so pretty.

Abstract Impressions makes a sweet row of flowers

Abstract Impressions – Row of Flowers

Today I am sharing a pretty card featuring a row of flowers made using the Abstract Impressions stamp set.

Making the Row of Flowers card

Abstract Impressions makes a sweet row of flowers

www.crafty-rootes.com – Abstract Impressions makes a sweet row of flowers

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4⅛” by 2⅝” and added it  the middle of a Thick Whisper White card base with some temporary adhesive. I inked up the broader spiky leaves in Mint Macaron ink, stamped off the 1st generation onto my Grid Paper before stamping onto the Thick Whisper White card base/Whisper White panel. I repeated this step stamping the leaves across the whole card front. I inked up the thinner leaves in Mint Macaron ink and stamped it on top of the previously stamped leaves,

I lifted the Whisper White panel away from the Thick Whisper White card base. I inked up the solid flower with Berry Burst ink, stamped off the 1st generation then stamped onto the Whisper White panel. I added the more detailed stamp in full strength Berry Burst ink. I added a few solid small flowers in 2nd generation Berry Burst to fill in some of the gaps.

I wrapped a strip of Berry Burst ½” Finely Woven Ribbon around the bottom of the stamped panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. I then added the stamped panel to a piece of Mint Macaron cardstock 4¼” by 2¾” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This piece was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. To complete the card I added a Berry Burst bow using Mini Glue Dots.

This is such a sweet, pretty card. I hope you like it.

Lovely card made using the Abstract Impressions stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Abstract Impressions for September Classes

This month’s classes focused on the gorgeous Abstract Impressions stamp set and co-ordinating Springtime Impressions thinlit dies. Although the weather in the UK has cooled down I didn’t feel ready yet to do a Christmas class and this fabulous set was just what I needed for some summery flower card.

Thank You card

For the first card we started with a panel of Whisper White measuring 4” by 2⅝”. We stamped the more solid of the leaf stalk images in Lemon Lime Twist ink and added the more detailed image on top in Granny Apple Green ink. The ladies loved the fact that they did not have to line up the images, indeed abstract is definitely the way to go. We then inked up the solid spray of blossoms in Grapefruit Grove and stamped off once onto grid paper before stamping above the leaves, this gives a lighter shade. The more detailed flower image was then stamped on top in full strength Grapefruit Grove ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Abstract Impressions and Springtime Impressions for a card class

Using the Detailed Trio Punch we rounded the upper left corner of the stamped panel and the same corner of a piece of Grapefruit Grove cardstock 4⅛” by 2¾” before adhering them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking the solid flower spray image we inked it in Granny Apple Green ink and stamped onto opposing corners of a Granny Apple Green card base. The sentiment was stamped in Grapefruit Grove ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and was punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. Using the same punch we also punched a piece of Highland Heather cardstock. This piece was cut in half using scissors and the pieces glued to the top and bottom of the sentiment. This piece was then added to the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Tailored Tag Punch we banner ended a piece of Whisper White and Highland Heather cardstock 4⅛” by ¼”, cut each piece in half and glued them  to the card front. The stamped topper was then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Birthday Card

We started by running a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” through the Big Shot using the new Embossing Mats and the huge floral corner die from the Springtime Impressions. The ladies absolutely loved this new technique. We then stamped the large abstract flower onto the embossed piece in Grapefruit Grove, 3rd generation for the base layer, 2nd generation for the middle layer and full strength for the final layer. We also stamped it onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Abstract Impressions and Springtime Impressions for a card class

We stamped the smaller flower onto the embossed panel in Highland Heather ink, 2nd generation for the solid image and full strength for the detailed image. We stamped the same image again onto our scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and onto a Stitched Oval from the Stitched Shapes dies.

Next we stamped the sentiment from Beautiful Bouquet stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink and added a Highland Heather flower to the die cut oval. We stamped a few leaves in Garden Green and Lemon Lime Twist ink and added the stitched oval to the embossed panel.

Using the Detailed Trio Punch we rounded the bottom right corner of the embossed panel, a panel of Highland Heather measuring 5½” by 3¾” and a Grapefruit Grove card base and adhered all the layers together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The Stitched Oval was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the extra flowers fussy cut and added with glue.

Butterfly Card

We began by a placing a die cut Stitched Oval onto a Thick Whisper White card base and drawing round it. We then inked up the larger flower in 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation Grapefruit Grove, the smaller flower in 1st and 2nd generation Highland Heather and a variety of leaves in Granny Apple Green ink. The trick with this sort of card is to stamp all the images partly inside the oval and partly outside the oval and to start with the largest image and finishing with the smallest images.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Abstract Impressions and Springtime Impressions for a card class

We die cut the butterfly from the Springtime Impressions dies and added it to the Stitched oval with a small strip of dimensionals and added a bow made from the ⅛” Grapefruit Grove ribbon. The oval was then added to the card front with dimensionals.

Country Home and Jar of Love card

Country Jar of Love

I have had a great time today making a Country Jar card using both the Jar of Love stamp set and the Country Home stamp set. They combine beautifully.

Making the Country Jar card

I began by stamping the medium jar image from the Jar of Love stamp set onto a scrap piece of Tropical Escape dsp. I cut the jar out using the Everyday Jar framelits and my Big Shot and cut away the screw top to the jar with my scissors.

Country Home and Jar of Love card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Country Home stamp set and Jar of Love stamp sets combine to make a sweet card

I took a panel of Watercolor Paper measuring 4⅛” by 3” and stamped the floral image from the Country Home stamp set towards the top using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. For my colour palette I chose Smoky Slate for the cotton buds, Blushing Bride for the seed pods, Mint Macaron for the leaves, So Saffron for the larger buds, and Flirty Flamingo for the central flower and Blackberry Bliss for the small buds. I squeezed ink into the lid of each pad and used my Aquapainter to apply the colour.

When the ink was dried I added the watercolour panel, with Multipurpose Glue, to a piece of Tropical Escape dsp measuring 4⅛” by 3⅜” leaving a slightly larger border on the left.  The die cut jar was then added using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The panel was then added to the front of a Blushing Bride card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using a Mini Glue Dot I added a Rich Razzelberry bow to the top of the jar, made using the Nature’s Twine.

I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Blackberry Bliss ink onto a ⅜” wide scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and banner punched the ends using the Tailored Tag punch. This was adhered to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To complete the card I added some Blackberry Bliss faceted dots.

Country Home stamp set makes a Pretty watercolored rustic jug full of flowers for a simple but stunning card.

Country Home

Today I have been playing with the lovely Country Home stamp set and my Aquapainter. I love colouring in and using an Aquapainter and my ink pads makes this so easy.

Making the Country Home card

I cut a piece of Watercolor Paper 5” by 3½” and stamped the jug image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink in the lower right hand corner. I stamped the foliage image in the same ink on top of the jug and set the panel aside to dry.

Whilst I was waiting for the panel to try I cut a piece of Gray Granite cardstock 5⅞” by 1½”, spritzed it lightly with water and ran it through the Big Shot with the Tin Tile embossing folder. I love the great definition this folder gives.

Pop of Petals by Stampin' Up! for a sweet card

Pop of Petals makes for a very sweet card

Today I have been using the lovely new Pop of Petals stamp set and co-ordinating Four-Petal Punch to make a sweet card.

Pop of Petals

I began by taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. Using a ruler and pencil I drew 2 parallel lines an inch apart towards the top of the panel.

Pop of Petals by Stampin' Up! for a sweet card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Pop of Petals by Stampin’ Up!

Starting with the largest image I then stamped and flowers and leaves overlapping the pencil lines. I used Night of Navy ink for the largest flowers then Coastal Cabana, Grapefruit Grove and So Saffron ink for the smaller flowers. The smaller flowers come as one stamp which I cut apart using sharp Paper Snips, this gives much more flexibility and they fit together again really easily if you want to stamp them together. The leaves were stamped in Soft Sea Foam ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Pop of Petals by Stampin’ Up!

After stamping I rubbed out the pencil lines before adding the stamped panel to a layer of Night of Navy cardstock measuring 5½” by 3⅞”. This was then added to a Coastal Cabana card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. On a piece of Whisper White I stamped the sentiment from the Hanging  Garden stamp set in Night of Navy ink and added it on Stampin’ Dimensionals over the place where the pencil lines had been.

Varied Vases for June Classes

Varied Vases for June Classes

For my June classes I have focused on the gorgeous new Varied Vases stamp set and the co-ordinating Vases Builder Punch and we made 3 super cute cards. I also chose to use the fab new 2018 – 2020 In-Colors which look great together and are so bright and summery.

Varied Vases for June Classes

www.crafty-rootes.com – Varied Vases for June Classes

Card 1

We began the first card by stamping the largest solid vase using Blueberry Bushel ink onto a square of Whisper White 2¾” by 2¾”. We then stamped the outline vases using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink. The gorgeous hanging orchid was also stamped in the Momento Tuxedo Black ink. In some classes we stamped the inside of the flowers using the Pineapple Punch ink and others coloured the blossoms in with the Pineapple Punch Marker – love this colour.

We ran the 5⅞” by 2” panel of Pineapple Punch cardstock through the Big Shot using one of the Petal Pairs Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.  We then stamped a sentiment just below using Blueberry Bushel ink.

Using the Decorative Trio Punch we rounded the upper left corner of the stamped panel and on a panel of Blueberry Bushel cardstock 3” by 3” and adhered the panels together using the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Varied Vases for June Classes

www.crafty-rootes.com – Varied Vases for June Classes

Card 2

We began by stamping the scalloped shelf in Lovely Lipstick ink towards the bottom of a Whisper White panel 4½” by 2¾ ”. The sentiment was stamped below this in either Lovely Lipstick or Blueberry Bushel ink.

We stamped the sweet patterned vase in Blueberry Bushel ink and punched it out using the co-ordinating Vases Builder Punch. We also stamped the 3 vases from a scrap of Whisper White cardstock.  The stamped vase was then placed face down roughly where the ladies wanted to place it and the flower stem was then stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and like magic, when you turn the vase over the stem is perfectly positioned! We added the white vases either stamped of the stamped vase using Tombow.

We coloured the flowers in with the Lovely Lipstick Marker. Taking the starry flower stamped we inked it up in Lovely Lipstick ink and stamped in the upper left and lower right corners on the front of the Thick Whisper White card base.  The stamped layer, Blueberry Bushel Layer (4¾” by 3”) and the Thick Whisper White card base had the upper left hand corners rounded using the Decorative Trio Punch. The stamped layer was adhered to the Blueberry Bushel layer with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and the panel then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Varied Vases for June Classes

www,crafty-rootes.com – Varied Vases for June Classes

Card 3

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock we stamped the scalloped shelf in Blueberry Bushel ink. We then stamped the vases in Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove ink, in some classes we added the outlines in Momento Tuxedo Black ink, and other classes opted not to do this.

We stamped the flowers on the Momento Tuxedo ink making sure only to ink up the top part of the stem and coloured in the flowers with the 2018 – 2020 In-Color Markers. We stamped the sentiment in Lovely Lipstick ink and stamped it onto a ⅜” strip of Whisper White cardstock and cut it down to fit.

We rounded the upper left corner of all the layers in the same way as the previous cards and adhered the layers with Tombow and added the panel to the Thick Whisper White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The ladies loved these cards; they are so bright and cheerful. Hope you like them.

Gorgeous flowers and vases for a hello card

Varied Vases for a sweet ‘Hello’ card

One of the first items I added to my pre-order basket was the gorgeous Varied Vases stamp set and its co-ordinating Vases builder Punch.  I was so happy to see another stamp set and co-ordinating punch as the ladies in my classes love this combination. For today’s project I have only used the stamp set.

I took a 4⅛” by 2¼” piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the vases in groups across the panel in Pool Party, Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Calypso Coral ink. I overlapped some of the vases to add interest.

Gorgeous flowers and vases for a hello card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Varied Vases stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I inked up the gorgeous floral stem in Early Espresso ink being careful to only partly ink up the stem as in this case I didn’t want to ‘see’ them in the vase. I coloured the flowers in with Calypso Coral ink but managed to get a small halo by rocking the stamp………don’t you hate doing that. To cover it up I re-inked the stem and stamped again adding the flower colour more carefully this time.

At the other end of the strip I stamped 2 partial stems in Early Espresso ink and added 2 of the ‘tulip’ style flowers with the Early Espresso and coloured them in with So Saffron ink.

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Calypso Coral ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it out with my scissors adding a flagged end before gluing it with Tombow Liquid Adhesive  to the right side of the panel.

The stamped panel was adhered to a Calypso Coral strip 4⅛” by ½”.  The scalloped border was stamped in Calypso Coral ink about half way up a Thick Whisper White card base and the completed panel was added on top with Stampin Dimensionals. A few Basic Rhinestones were added to finish the card off.

Such a simple, pretty card. Hope you like it

Special birthday card using Stampin' Up! product

Perennial Birthday with Large Numbers

Today I am sharing a card I made for one of my team mates who celebrated her special birthday in the week prior to OnStage in Telford – so the partying continued………what can I say!

I chose the large sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamps set and mounted it onto one of the plates of my Stamparatus Stamp Positioning Tool. I placed a panel of Blushing Bride cardstock 5” by 3¼” onto the platform then inked up the stamp using Blushing Bride ink and stamped multiple times moving  the panel down using the hinge stamping method. I die cut the largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circle dies from the centre of a panel of Chocolate Chip cardstock 5⅛” by 3⅜” and used the remains of the panel to mount the stamped panel and set it aside.

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock approx 3½” by 3½” and my Big Shot I die cut the largest stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies. I inked up the flower and leaf stamps from the set using Flirty Flamingo, Rich Razzelberry and Wild Wasabi Markers and stamped them onto tthe stitched circle.

Using the Large Number dies I die cut a 5 and a 0 from Champagne Foil and a further 3 times each from scrap Whisper White cardstock. I glued the die cuts together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive ending with the Champagne Foil on top. I added the numbers to the stitched circle using Tombow and mounted the circle onto the die cut Chocolate Chip scalloped circle.
