Hello Birdie card for the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

Posted on July 8, 2023July 8, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing animal themed projects. I have used the Bird’s Eye View stamp set to make a pretty hello birdie card. I did go through the, are birds animals’ debate with myself but couldn’t help using this sweet birdie.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the hello birdie card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Azure Afternoon card – 5¼” by 3½”
Stargazing dsp – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Scrap Basic White card

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the Stargazing dsp to the panel of Azure Afternoon card.

I wrapped a length of Azure Afternoon Sheer Ribbon around the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape, the panel was then glued to the Thick Basic White card base.

Using the Nested Essentials dies I cut a flagged banner and a rounded corner square.

The stack of books image was stamped in Pecan Pie ink and the birdie in Pebbled Path ink. Both these images are from the Bird’s Eye View stamp set.

Multicoloured World card for the New Catalogue Blog Hop

Posted on January 6, 2023January 6, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the New Catalogue Blog Hop where we are sharing some inspiration using product from the January – April 2023 Mini Catalog. I have chosen to share a card made using the stunning Watercolor World stamp.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the multicoloured world card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

I mounted the large stamp onto a Stamparatus Plate and began inking it up.

The ink was added to each area using Sponge Daubers beginning with Crushed Curry over Africa. I stamped each colour down onto the smaller panel of Basic White card then cleaned the image with the Stampin’ Shammy before adding the next.

I tried to overlap each band of colours to blur the edges and some colours were stamped two or three times. Using a Blending Brush, I added Pool Party ink around the sides of the stamped panel.

When the image had been fully stamped, I lined up the letters from the Alphabet A La Mode Dies to spell HELLO, secured them in place with Post It Notes and ran the panel through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The stamped panel was then glued to the Basic Black layer and then to the Pool Party card base.

I ran each letter through the die cutting machine another three times with scrap Basic White card to give a total of 4 copies of each of the letters.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I glued each letter together, one on top of the other to form a stack finishing with the inked letter. These were then glued into the negative spaces.

This card was inspired by a card made by Tanya Rees during her online catalogue launch event last month. She and my lovely upline Mikaela Titheridge collaborated and brought us all a fantastic online event. I used the Wild Rose stamp set for my version of the card.

Thick Whisper White card base – – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 5” by 4”
Flowers For Every Season dsp – 4⅛ by 1¼”

I die cut a large Stitched Rectangle from the layer of Whisper White and adhered it to the Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
