So Hoppy Together

Posted on January 4, 2019January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have had fun playing with the sweet new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called So Hoppy Together. This is gorgeous stamp set is one of the free choices available with a £45 order and there are so many lovely things on offer this year.

Making the card

I started by stamping the cute little frog in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a 3” by 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies. Whilst I had the Big Shot out I also cut a slightly larger scalloped circle die from Daffodil Delight cardstock.

I coloured in my frog using the Shaded Spruce Combo, Daffodil Delight Combo & Light Petal Pink Blends Pens. I stamped a few little flies at the top of the circle and added some googly eyes to the frog.

I chose a piece of Garden Impressions dsp, cut it at 5⅞” by 4⅛” and cut it on the diagonal. I added half of the dsp to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a ¼” strip of Pacific Point cardstock to the top of the dsp using the same glue.

The sentiment from the Family & Friends stamp set was stamped along the top of the Pacific Point cardstock in Pacific Point ink and added the circle topper on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

These little frogs are so adorable, I think this is going to be a really popular set.

Gorgeous wedding card using Wonderful Moments stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Wonderful Moments Bride

Posted on August 19, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card I made using the Wonderful Moments stamp set for the upcoming wedding of friends.

Making the Wonderful Moments card

I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5¼” by 3½”. I inked up the gorgeous image of the bride using Momento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it on the Whisper White pane. Taking the light and dark Calypso Coral, the light and dark Daffodil Delight & the light and dark Granny Apple Green Blends pens I coloured in the buttons, sash and bouquet of the bride. I used the Ivory Blend for her skin and the light and dark Crumb Cake for her hair.

I added two Artisan Pearls to her hair as decoration and a couple more scattered around. Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left hand corner of the stamped panel. I also rounded the upper left corner of a panel of Basic Black 5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhered it to the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I cut a piece of the lovely Garden Impressions DSP measuring 5⅝” by 3⅞” and glued it to a Thick Whisper White card base. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Basic Black panel and added it to the card front. The sentiment from the Hand Delivered stamp set was stamped in Calypso Coral ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed out using the Paper Trimmer. It was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Stamp ‘N Hop – Garden Impressions

Posted on July 13, 2018July 12, 2018 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.

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.
