Perfectly Planted for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on March 26, 2022March 16, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Fun-Fold. I have used the Plentiful Plants stamp set and Perfect Plants Dies to make a card inspired by one I saw on Youtube made by Cindy Lee Brumbaugh

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the perfectly planted card, you will need:

Cinnamon Cider card – 5½ by 4¼” – back panel
Bloom Where You’re Planted dsp – 5¼” by 4” – brick pattern
Cinnamon Cider card – 9½” by 4¼” – column folding mechanism – scored on the 9½” side @ ½”, 1¼”, 2”. 2¾”, 6¾”, 7½”, 8¼” & 9”
Bloom Where You’re Planted dsp – 4” by 3¾” – wood planks
Window Sheet – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 4” – back panel
Scrap Basic White and Granny Apple Green

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the brick pattern dsp to the back panel of Cinnamon Cider card. This was then set to one side.

I chose 2 nesting Rectangle Stitched Dies and used the larger of these dies to cut a rectangle from the centre of the large scored panel of Cinnamon Cider card. The dsp was then glued to the centre of this panel using liquid glue. The smaller rectangle die was then used to to die cut the centre of the negative space giving a ‘window’.

The piece of Window Sheet was then added to the back of the window using Mini Glue Dots.

Using a Bone Folder, I burnished all the score lines before adding Seal + adhesive to the ½” tab at either end. The columns were then formed.

Seal + was added to the back of each panel and I adhered the whole piece to the centre of the back panel.

Then came the decoration. I stamped a plant pot from the Plentiful Plants stamp set in Cinnamon Cider ink and foliage in Garden Green and die cut them using the Perfect Plants Dies. These were added to the front of the window using Mini Glue Dots. I also stamped a smaller pot in Night of Navy ink and die cut the spiky plant from scrap Granny Apple Green card. These were also added using Mini Glue Dots.

I stamped the same pot and greenery on the Basic White panel which was then adhered to the back of the card.

The sentiment, from the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set was stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink onto scrap Basic White card, trimmed down with my Trimmer and added to the card front on Mini Glue Dots.

Daffodil Classes

Posted on January 14, 2022January 10, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the project made at this week’s classes using the Daffodil Dies and co-ordinating Daffodil Afternoon dsp. Each person attending class received a 6^ by 6” pack of the Daffodil Afternoon dsp to use for their cards.

Colours used in these projects are:

Offset Slimline card

Pear Pizzazz card – 6” by 2¾”
Very Vanilla card – 11¾” by 2½” scored and folded at 5⅞”
Daffodil Afternoon dsp – 5¾” by 2½”
Very Vanilla – 4½” by 3½” – Die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Scrap Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry & Pear Pizzazz

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A offset slimline card made using the Daffodil Dies and Daffodil Afternoon dsp for my January 2022 classes

We added the folded Very Vanilla card to the Pear Pizzazz panel.

The piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp was added to the front of the Very Vanilla panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We ran the die cut scalloped rectangle through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Stitched Greenery Die. This adds texture without fussiness. The rectangle was then added, offset to the card front.

We then die cut the pieces for the daffodil and leaves from scrap Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Pear Pizzazz card. The leaves and stem were added to to the card front with liquid glue. The pieces of the daffodil were stuck together with liquid glue and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card, we added a bow made from the black Glittered Organdy Ribbon.

Tryptic Card

Mossy Meadow card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded at 4⅛”
Daffodil Delight card – 5⅜” by 2⅛”
Daffodil Afternoon dsp – 5¼” by 2”
Daffodil Delight card – 1⅝” by 2⅝” x 2
Daffodil Afternoon – 2½” by 1½” x 2

Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾”

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A tryptic card made using the Daffodil Dies and Daffodil Afternoon dsp for my January 2022 classes

After cutting the piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp to the sizes given above, we adhered each piece to the slightly larger Daffodil Delight layer.

These panels were then added t the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Very Vanilla card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. We backed this with a Basic Black punched piece cut in half and added to the back. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

This is such a simple card to put together and is a great way to use dsp.

Strips of dsp card

Very Vanilla card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pear Pizzazz card – 5⅞” by 3”
Very Vanilla card – 5¾” by 2”
Daffodil Afternoon dsp – ½” strips

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty striped card made using the Daffodil Dies and Daffodil Afternoon dsp for my January 2022 classes

We cut ½” strips from our dsp sheets and added them to the Very Vanilla strip with glue. The excess pieces were trimmed off with scissors.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies we die cut the scalloped border on one side of the Pear Pizzazz panel and added the panel of dsp strips with liquid glue.

We placed the piece on the card front for placement before stamping the sentiment in Old Olive ink.

A piece of the black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and the whole panel was then added to the Very Vanilla card front on Dimensionals. A bow made from the same ribbon was added to finish the card.

The stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper by Stampin' Up! and used to make a clever fun fold card

Beauty of the Earth dsp

Posted on July 6, 2021July 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a simple but clever card made from the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper. I saw an example of this style of card made by fellow demonstrator Julie Davison and had to try it myself.

Colours used in this project are;

To recreate the Beauty of the Earth card, you will need:

Beauty of the Earth dsp – 12” by 4” – scored at 5 ½” and 11” on the long-side
Bumblebee card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Soft Sea Foam – 3 ¾” by 2 ¼” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Soft Sea Foam. Mossy Meadow & Basic White

I folded and burnished on the 5½” score line and again on the 11” score line, but this time folded it back on itself. I glued the 1” strip down with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. It makes such a nice contrast don’t you think?

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A clever fun fold card made using the stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper

The tree trunk was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto the Basic White panel. I added the tree canopy in Mossy Meadow ink and the more detailed leafy layer in Bumblebee to give a more textured look.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A clever fun fold card made using the stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper

The stamped panel was added to the Bumblebee layer and then to the dsp card front. This serves to give the card some rigidity.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A clever fun fold card made using the stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper

The same tree trunk was stamped again in Soft Suede ink onto the small panel of Soft Sea Foam. I stamped the tree canopy and leaves again in the same way onto scrap Soft Sea Foam and die cut using the Beautiful Tree dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine. The canopy was added to the trunk with the liquid glue. I added a speckle of green spots around the tree image. The panel was added to the card front with Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A clever fun fold card made using the stunning Beauty of the Earth designer series paper

The sentiment from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed it out with scissors. I added a strip of Mossy Meadow card to the base of the panel and added the sentiment over top.

I really like this style of card and really shows off the dsp. I hope you like it.

A gorgeous 75th waterfall birthday card for my aunt made in bright summery colours using Stampin' Up! products

Special Waterfall Birthday Card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is Fun Folds. So with that in mind, I absolutely have to share with you the waterfall birthday card I have made for my Aunts special birthday tomorrow. This card was made using bright spring colours and flowers which my aunt loves.

Colours Used in this project are:

To recreate the Waterfall birthday card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Magenta Madness – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Magenta Madness – 4⅛” by 1”
Flowers For Every Season dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Flirty Flamingo – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White & Magenta Madness

I began by gluing the Flowers For Every Season dsp to the Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Magenta Madness card about 2 ¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus and this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Magenta Madness into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch; it is wider than the opening so is a bit of a fiddle. Push it right to the end then punch. Pull it out and trim off the extra piece on each side.

Fold on all the score lines, slip the punched scalloped end of the Magenta Madness under the strip of card you have just glued across the card. The scored part of the card will then be on top of the band. Using strong adhesive glue along the top of the scored panel – face down – adhere the piece to the bottom end of the band. This forms the waterfall mechanism.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp some of the sentiments from the You Are Amazing, Approaching Perfection & Good Morning Magnolia stamp sets on to the small panels of Basic White card. Other sentiments were masked and inked up using Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

The sentiment panels were added to the Coloured panels using with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a selection of flowers from the All Things Fabulous stamp set. For the larger flower I used 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd generation Magenta Madness. For the smaller flowers I used 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight and Bumblebee, Magenta Madness in 1^st and 2^nd generation and Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade. The leaves were stamped in Just Jade ink. These were all cut out using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machune. The flowers and leaves were added to the sentiment panels with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

I die cut the numbers form Flowers For Every Season dsp using the Large Numbers Dies whch are sadly retired. These were added to the final, largest panel with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

I added a length of White Ribbon from my stash to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and tied it on with a piece of the Snail Mail Twine. I finished by adding some Gold Glitters Dot to each panel. I added a tiny Magenta Madness dragonfly punched out using the Dragonfly Punch to the front panel.

Mountain Air for a special birthday

Posted on February 28, 2020February 21, 2020 by Mo Rootes

I am sharing today the double Z fold card I made for my brothers special birthday. I used the Mountain Air combined with the Snow Front and My Meadow stamp sets.

To recreate the Mountain Air double Z fold card you will need:

Shaded Spruce – 11” by 5½” – scored and folded on the long side at 2¾” and 5½”
Country Club dsp – 5¼” by 5¼”
Country Club dsp – 5 ¼” by 2½” x 2

Night of Navy – 9¼” by 4¼” – scored and folded on the long side at 2¾” and 5½”
Whisper White – 4” by 3½”
Whisper White – 4” by 2½” x 2
Whisper White – 3⅞” by 3⅜”
Whisper White – 3⅞” by 2⅜” x 2
Night of Navy – 5¼” by 5¼”
Whisper White – 5” by 5”

I began by folding and burnishing the Shaded Spruce card base. I glued the panels of Country Club designer series paper to the Shaded Spruce card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I lined up the following Whisper White panels – The 2 panels measuring 3⅞” by 2⅜” and the 3⅞” by 3⅜” panel. I inked up the detailed Mountain stamp with Night of Navy ink. I repeated this step on all the panels. I cleaned the stamp with the Shammy and turned it over. I inked it up again with Night of Navy ink, stamped off the first layer of ink – 2^nd generation – on my grid paper the stamped again on the Whisper White panels, slightly above the original image. I cleaned the stamp again and inked up in Highland Heather. This was stamped off twice before stamping on the panel.

The detailed line of trees was inked in Shaded Spruce ink and stamped below the mountains. The stamp was cleaned and turned over, inked up with the same ink, stamped off then stamped between the original trees in the lighter shade.

I stamped the small house from the Snow Front stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and added ‘ground’ using a stamp from the same stamp set and Early Espresso ink in 2^nd and 3^rd generation ink.

The water was stamped using the Snow Front stamp set and Balmy Blue ink. I used Shaded Spruce ink and a sponge to colour in the rest of the ground.

Using a ¾” Circle Punch I punched a circle from PostIt note paper, adhered it to the largest stamped panel. Using a sponge I added Balmy Blue ink to the sky. The birds were stamped in Memento Tuxedo Back ink. The inked layers were then added to the slightly larger Whisper White panels and these were added to the Night of Navy card base.

The Night of Navy panel was the added to the Shaded Spruce card base.

The birds from the My Meadow stamp set were added in Night of Navy ink and the panel was glued to the Night of Navy panel then to the back of the largest Night of Navy panel to complete the card.
