Posted on March 25, 2024March 21, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a colour challenge to work with. I have used the Love For You stamp set which will be retiring at the end of April.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Love For You card, you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Garden Green card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – Rounded upper left corner
Flirty Flaming card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner – for the inside

I began by die cutting a circle from the square of Flirty Flamingo card using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I placed the die cut circle onto the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card, slightly overhanging the right edge. I drew around it with a pencil.

The flowers and leaves from the Love For You stamp set were then stamped, overlapping the pencil circle. The detail of the largest flower was stamped with Berry Burst ink and the solid image adde in Calypso Coral ink.

The smaller flower was stamped with Calypso Coral for the detail and stamped off Crushed Curry for the background. The leaves were stamped with Garden Green ink, the detail in full strength and the background in stamped of ink. The pencil circle was then rubbed out.

The sentiment, from the Textured Floral stamp set, was stamped onto the die cut Flirty Flaming circle using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. A small piece was trimmed off the right side of the circle and the sentiment was mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

A sweet anniversary card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using the ink refill and shaving foam technique and the Hot Air Balloons Dies by Stampin' Up!

Hot Air Balloons card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on February 6, 2024February 6, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using ink refills. I had such fun with this and ended up using ink refills with having foam to make my hot air balloon anniversary card.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the hot air balloon card, you will need:

Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – which I cut down to 5 ¼” by 3 ½” after colouring
Basic White card – 2” by ¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Starry Sky, Azure Afternoon & Lemon Lime Twist card

Ink Refill and shaving cream technique:

Paper Plate
Shaving foam
Ink Refills
Palette Knives
Kitchen towel

I covered the centre of a paper plate with shaving foam – it has to be foam not gel – spreading it out into a fairly even coating. I dropped dots of re inker randomly over the shaving cream – Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist and Starry Sky. Using a palette knife I swirled the colours together.

The 5½” by 3¾” panel of Basic White was then placed on top and gentle pressure applied. I carefully lifted the panel off the foam and scraped the excess off with the palette knife. The panel was left to dry.

I made multiple panels and used some of the left overs with stencils to see if that would work as well. – Very messy but such fun.

When the first panel was dry, I trimmed it down to 5¼” by 3½”and glued it to the Basic Black panel and then added the panel to the Azure Afternoon card base.

Nest I die cut the hot air balloons, initially in black as I was thinking of a silhouette effect but after messing about for a while I decided the black was too harsh and die cut them in Starry Sky.

From scrap Azure Afternoon and Lemon Lime Twist card I die cut the coloured panels for the balloons and added them on with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive – if I had been thinking straight I would have added Adhesive Sheet to the back of the scrap card.

The balloons and baskets were then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment in Starry Sky ink onto the thin strip of Basic White card and added it to the front of the card.

I die cut the trio of daisies from scrap Basic White card and cut the flowers apart using sharp scissors.

A Blending Brush was used to add Moody Mauve ink to the centre of both white flower layers and to the flower centre. A Dimensional behind the flower centre held the two delicate flower layers together and a little liquid glue added them to the Pebbled Path layer. The whole piece was added to the card front.
