Congratulations card featuring a small dog on an armchair and made using the Stampin' Up! Sit Stay Relax stamp set.

Sit Stay Relax card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card made for my daughter and son in law who have moved into their new house this week. I couldn’t resist making their card using the one of the new hostess stamp sets from the upcoming 2022 – 2023 Annual Catalogue called Sit Stay Relax. This sweet set features a small dog sitting on a chair which is exactly what their small dog Skye does whenever she thinks you aren’t looking.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the Sit Stay Relax card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic Gray card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
In Good Taste dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Starry Sky card – 3½” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3½” by 3½”
Basic Gray card – 3½” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 2 ½” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

 

I glued the In Good Taste dsp to the Basic Gray panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to adhere the panel to the front of the Smoky Slate card base.

Using Basic Gray ink, I stamped the sweet image from the Sit Stay Relax stamp set onto the square of Basic White and used the Layering Circle Dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine to cut it out.

I used the Light Balmy Blue Blends marker to add the background behind the chair and coloured the sweet little dog in using the Soft Suede combo of Blends markers. The Eyes and nose were added with the dark Basic Black Blends marker.

I wanted to back the stamped image with a Starry Sky scalloped circle but we in Europe haven’t been able to order this colour cardstock yet. So, I die cut the scalloped circle from scrap Basic White card and dabbed the Starry Sky ink pad all around the edge to add colour, then set it to one side to dry. When it was dry I adhered to two circles together with the Liquid Glue and added them to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Art Gallery stamp set was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the strip of Basic White and the ends trimmed down. This piece was then added to the strip of Basic Gray, trimmed down in the same way and added to the card front with liquid glue.

Flying Home stamp set for a sweet thank you card

Flying Home – a sneak peek

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a sneak peek using the Flying Home stamp set from the new Spring Summer Catalogue which launches in January 2018. As demonstrators we are lucky enough to see new product from upcoming catalogues and also pre order from the new catalogue a month or more before they launch to the public. A fabulous perk of being a demo. Even better those of us who go to OnStage events are given some of the new product for free……. love it……. this is a set I was given.

Thank you card featuring bird houses

www.crafty-rootes.com – Flying Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the adorable trio of bird houses using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock 5” by 3⅜” and set about colouring the image using the fantastic new Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I used the following colours: Light & Dark Smoky Slate, Light & Dark Pool Party, Light & Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Cherry Cobbler, Light Old Olive. Light & Dark Calypso Coral, Light & Dark Rich Razzleberry, Light Bermuda Bay, Light & Dark Pink Pirouette, Light Crumb Cake, Light Night of Navy, Ivory. I know colouring in is not for everyone but I love it.
