Colours used in this card are:

Basic White card – 4⅛” by 3¼”

The same image was stamped again onto the smaller piece of basic white card. I think it looks a bit like the moon…..

The sentiment, from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink. My customers will have to chose a sentiment from their own stash.

I used liquid glue to adhere the die cut detailed flowers to the flower bases. I had to move them around until they lined up. The liquid glue was squeezed out onto my Silicon Craft Mat, picked up with a Sponge Dauber and dabbed on the back of the detailed flower.

Using my Bone Folder I curved the flowers to give them some shape. The darker flower was then glued to the card base with a spot of liquid glue in the centre.

Grace’s Garden for a Make & Take

Posted on January 24, 2020January 18, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is the card I made as one of our team training make & take projects. The brief was to make a card using a bundle or other products which would meet the £45 spend to qualify for a free Sale-A-Bration item. I chose to use the gorgeous Grace’s Garden stamp set and Garden Gateway dies.

To recreate the Grace’s Garden make & take card you will need:

Seaside Spray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Blueberry Bushel 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner x 2
Scrap Whisper White

We began by die cutting the gate from the centre of the Blueberry Bushel panel, making sure to stay away from the edges of the panel.

Next we stamped the ‘hollyhock’ image on either side of a Whisper White panel in Pear Pizzazz ink. The medium sized group of flowers was added in the same ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – a make & take card made using the Grace’s Garden Bundle

Using an oval make up brush we applied Seaside Spray ink to the top of the stamped panel. Blending it in around the plants. Using the same technique we added Smoky Slate into to the bottom of the panel.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Blueberry Bushel layer with Multipurpose Liquid adhesive and added to the Seaside Spray card base with the same glue.

The gate was cut up the middle with scissors then adhered to the card front in Dimensionals.

The spray of roses and the small group of flowers were stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink and coloured in using the following Blends Markers – light Lovely Lipstick, dark Daffodil Delight & light Old Olive before being die cut and added to the card front.

A gorgeous floral spray card made using the Painted Seasons stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Painted Seasons used for Team Training

Posted on February 17, 2019February 16, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made as a Make and take project for our Team Training event and using the new Painted Seasons stamp set. This gorgeous stamp set is only available as one of the free Sale-a-Bration choices with a £90 order until the 1^st – 31^st March. It comes as a bundle with a gorgeous pack of designer series paper which I am not using today.

Making the Painted Seasons card

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

I started with a scarp piece of Whisper White cardstock. I inked up the stunning flower image with Poppy Parade ink and before stamping it down I added Cherry Cobbler ink in the centre and around the edges of the flower using a Sponge Dauber. This is a distINKtive syle stamp so looks very 3 dimensional when stamped and the added darker shade of red really enhances this look. I die cut the image using my Big Shot and the co-ordinating Four Seasons Framelit dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

I placed my die cut flower onto a layer of Whisper White measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜”, inked up the larger leaf image with Mossy Meadow ink, moved the flower slightly and stamped the image down. I then stamped again without re-inking. I repeated this step on the other side of the flower. The smaller leaf image was then added in 1^st and 2^nd generation Sahara Sand ink. I then added the little clusters of tiny stars in 1^st and 2^nd generation Mint Macaron ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

I wrapped a piece of retired Mossy Meadow Thick Baker’s Twine around the stamped layer and tied in a bow. I had planned to use the lovely Old Olive Linen Thread but couldn’t find it………..

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

I rounded the upper left corner of the stamped layer and a layer of Poppy Parade cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” using the Detailed Trio Punch and adhered the two layers together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same adhesive to add this panel to a Mossy Meadow card base with a rounded upper left corner. The die cut flower was then added over the leaves with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – thePianted Seasons stamp set used for a make and take for team training

The sentiment from the Needle and Thread stamp set was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink. I stamped the flower and the larger leaf onto a panel of Whisper White (with a rounded upper left corner) and added this to the inside of the card. The same images were then stamped on a Whisper White Envelope.

I love this stamp set, the images are absolutely stunning……don’t miss out.
