Posted on August 10, 2023July 29, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing projects on a ‘back to school’ theme. I have chosen to make my good luck card using the sweet Bird’s Eye View stamp set.

Colours used to make my card are:

The stack of books was randomly stamped all over the Boho Blue card front in Boho Blue ink.

The stack of books were stamped onto the smaller panel of Basic White card using Pebbled Path ink. I stamped the same image onto Masking Paper and cut it out using Scissors. I then used it to mask of the first image. The same image was stamped again above the first and the mask removed.

Using the following Blends Pens, I coloured in the both stacks of books – Petal Pink, Balmy Blue, Fresh Freesia, Soft Sea Foam, Crumb Cake and Smoky Slate. I added the titles using a Pebbled Path Stamp ‘n Write Marker.

Posted on February 26, 2022February 13, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are making a card using a card sketch. I love a sketch; it is a really good way of making me think outside my comfort zone to produce something a little different. My marbleous whale card is made using the Whale Done stamp set and Simply Marbleous dsp.

Colours in this project are:

To make the marbleous whale card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Balmy Blue card – 5 ½” by 4”
Simply Marbleous dsp – 5 ¼” by 3⅞” – cut a 1½” strip from each end on the long side
Scrap Basic White

Laying the 3 panels of the lovely Simply Marbleous dsp together, I stamped the seaweed in Garden Green ink. The coral was added in Calypso Coral ink at the bottom of the panels.

The schools of fish were stamped in Cajun Craze ink. I love the way you can stamp this image so that the fish can swim in both directions. The ‘bubbles’ were added in Misty Moonlight ink.

Good Luck Chick

Posted on September 5, 2021August 30, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a jolly good luck chick card made to celebrate a friends’ retirement at the end of August. Like me she wok as a nurse for over 35 years at Royal Papworth Hospital, a specialist heart and lung hospital here in the UK. I am so looking forward to celebrating with her with a visit to our favourite café for a special full English breakfast.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the good luck chick card, you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Soft Suede card – 5¾” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White ¼” strip

I started by stamping the 1^st dancing chicken on the right-hand side of the slightly longer Basic White panel. I stamped the same image onto three Post It Notes and cut around the images with Scissors and used these to provide masks.

One of the masks was placed over the stamped chicken and another chicken was stamped to the left. The second mask was then placed over the top of this chicken and another bird stamped to the left.

The last mask was then added to the third chicken and the chicken with a balloon was stamped so that she appeared to be floating out of the gang. The masks were then removed.

I used the following Blends Marker Pens to colour in the chicks and the balloon – Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight & Bronze

The stamped panel was layered onto the Soft Suede panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Poppy Parade card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Welcoming Woods stamp set, was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto the strip of Basic White and the strip was cut down and flagged with Scissors. I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to finish the card.

I hope this card brings a smile to my friend’s face. Hope you like it.

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where out theme is ‘Let Your Colours Shine’ – great topic.

The branch from the Garden Birdhouse stamp set was added at the top with Mint Macaron ink. I stamped the hanger from the tree in Balmy Blue ink and added the sweet birdhouse in Misty Moonlight ink.

I used the Misty Moonlight Marker from the 2021-2023 In Color Markers pack to colour in parts of the birdhouse. Doesn’t it look sweet.

Using Versamark ink I stamped the sentiment from the Art Gallery stamp set onto the Misty Moonlight strip, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with the Heat Tool. I flagged the end with scissors.

I glued the stamped panel to the Misty Moonlight layer and then to the Petal Pink card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The sentiment was then added using the same glue.

Amazing Life stamp set by Stampin' Up! used for good luck cards

Good luck cards using the Amazing Life stamp set

Posted on February 3, 2019January 30, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a pair of good luck cards made using the Amazing Life stamp set for 2 friends who are going for job interviews this week.

Making the cards

I love the 4 leaf clover image from the Amazing Life stamp set and it goes so well with the great ‘good luck’ sentiment.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a pair of good luck cards made using the gorgeous Amazing Life stamp set

I started with two Whisper White cardstock panels measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I stamped the clover leaf randomly in a corner of each of the panels in Call Me Clover ink………..I couldn’t really chose any other green! I added the stamped layers to panels of Basic Grey cardstock 5½” by 3¾” with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. On the landscape panel I added a piece of ⅛” Call Me Clover Grosgrain Ribbon.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a pair of good luck cards made using the gorgeous Amazing Life stamp set

I stamped the sentiment twice in Call Me Clover ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and die cut them using my Big Shot and the gorgeous pierced edge sentiment die from the Wonderful Floral Framelit Dies. I love the fact that changing the orientation of the sentiment and the card can give it such a different look.

www.crafty-rootes.com – a pair of good luck cards made using the gorgeous Amazing Life stamp set

I added the sentiments to the card fronts on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Call Me Clover Grosgrain Ribbon bow to each card. I scattered a trio of Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots on each card.

I added Call Me Clover leaves to the inside of the card and to the envelope.

A sweet good luck card featuring the magical mermaid stamp set

Miss Mermaid

Posted on September 28, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

This weekend a friend of ours is taking part in the Miss Mermaid UK competition and I made her a sweet card to wish her luck.

Making the Miss Mermaid Card

I started with a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I ran my Embossing Buddy over the panel and inked up the gorgeous mermaid image with Versamark Ink. I stamped the image onto the Whisper White panel and covered it with Silver Embossing Powder before melting it with my Heat Tool.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Miss Mermaid is Magical for a good luck card

I stamped the mermaid onto a large Post It Note and cut it out to provide a mask. Once the mask was in place I stamped the watery fronds in Soft Sea Foam ink, adding some speckles in Pool Party ink. I then removed the mask and coloured in the Mermaid using the following Blends Alcohol Pens – Light & Dark Pool Party, Light & Dark Highland Heather, Light Crumb Cake, Light Daffodil Delight & Ivory. I love the soft look of these colours

www.crafty-rootes.com – Miss Mermaid is Magical for a good luck card

I then stamped the words Good Luck using the letters from the Make a Difference stamp set in the upper right corner but I didn’t like it so decided to tear the top of the stamped panel. I actually really liked the look this gave to the card.

Taking a panel of Pool Party measuring 5 ½” by 3 ¾” I stamped the watery fronds in the upper right corner in Pool Party ink before adding the stamped Whisper White panel with Multipurpose liquid Adhesive. I added the sentiment from the Banners For You stamp set in Highland Heather ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Miss Mermaid is Magical for a good luck card

The whole stamped piece was added to a Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a scattering of Iridescent Sequins added.

I think it is a gorgeous card and I hope Jess likes it and that it brings her luck.

Banners For You makes a good luck card

Posted on October 6, 2017October 5, 2017 by Mo Rootes

I have been using the Banners For You stamp set today to make a good luck card for a friend.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I started with a piece of Very Vanilla card stock 4 ½” by 3” which I die cut using the Big Shot and the 2^nd largest die from the Lots of Labels framelits. I then took 2 of the leaf images from the Banners For You stamp set and the smallest leaf from the Colorful Seasons stamp set and randomly stamped them onto the die cut label using Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler inks. To get a depth of colour I used 1^st & 2^nd generation stamping. To fill in some of the gaps I used the dotty image from the Banners For You stamp set and Pumpkin Pie ink. I die cut a 2^nd label in the same size from Crushed Curry cardstock, cut it across the middle with my Paper Trimmer and glued it to the stamped piece using Tombow Liquid Adhesive with the some of the colour showing at the top and the bottom.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I ran a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” through the Big Shot with the Layered Leaves Textured Embossing Folder before adhering the piece to the front of an Old Olive card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Banners For You stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the banner from the Banners For You Stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and die cut it out using the Bunch of Banners framelits. I then stamped the greeting from the same stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the die cut banner. I die cut the banner again from a scrap of Old Olive cardstock and glued the 2 together slightly off set. The banner was then added to the stamped label using Stampin’ Dimensionals before the whole piece was added to the card front using Tombow. To finish the card of I added a scattering of Glitter Enamel Dots.

Love the Autumn colours of this card. I hope my friend likes it and that it brings her luck.
