We stamped the Magnolia using the Stamparatus with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. After die cutting the scalloped edge from one of the Whisper White panels and stamping the decorative edge in Mossy Meadow we added the dsp to the bottom and adhered the panel to the card base. The flower was coloured using the following Blends markers Petal Pink combo, Mossy Meadow combo and Crumb Cake combo, it was then added to the card front on Dimensionals. There were a number of sentiments to choose from.

We stamped the magnolia using the Stamparatus with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. We die cut it out using the Magnolia Memory dies making sure to save all the pieces. The flower was coloured using the following Blends markers Petal Pink combo, Mossy Meadow combo and Crumb Cake combo. Dimensionals were added to the back of the side pieces and the first piece was added to the Early Espresso panel. The second piece was then added to the Early Espresso panel. Liquid Glue was then added to the back of the magnolia and it was inlaid between to 2 raised panels. Some of us opted to place only one of the panels which created a different look again.

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower right corner
Mossy Meadow – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower right corner

We used a T square ruler to mark off a 1” strip on one of the Whisper White panels. The magnolia bud was then stamped in Crumb Cake partly overlapping the marked off area, 3 times on the top and the same on the bottom. They were then coloured with the same Blends Markers. The panel was then added to the Mossy Meadow layer. The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink on the Whisper White strip and glued to the Mossy Meadow strip. This was then trimmed to size and glued to the stamped panel.

Pretty spring card using soft colours for 2 challenges

Tropical Chic for 2 challenges

Posted on February 21, 2019February 21, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made for the Inspire Create #037 challenge and the Freshly Made Sketches #376 challenge. I have chosen to use the Tropical Chic stamp set with the sentiment taken from the Perennial Birthday stamp set.

Making the challenge card

I began with a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½”. Using a pencil and ruler I drew a pencil line about a third of the way up from the bottom. I inked up the large ‘palm’ type leaf from the Tropical Chic stamp set in Mint Macaron ink and stamped it twice below the line. Next I added 2 flowers in Daffodil Delight ink and the larger leaf in Pool Party ink, making sure to keep them all below the line.

Next I stamped the sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set with Mint Macaron ink onto a piece of Whisper White 3½” by 1”. I laid this sentiment piece onto the stamped panel roughly where I wanted to adhere it then moved it down slightly to allow me to stamp the line image from side to side in Pool Party ink.

The sentiment piece was then added to the stamped layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left corner of the stamped panel and the upper left corner of a panel of Daffodil Delight cardstock and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The topper panel was added with the same adhesive to a Mint Macaron card base with a rounded upper left corner. I punched 3 flowers using one of the Bitty Blooms Punches and added them to the card with Mini Glue Dots. The flowers were then added to the card front with the Mini Glue Dots.

Spring Stamp-a-Stack

Posted on April 24, 2018April 24, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Some of my lovely ladies and I spent yesterday crafting away at my Spring Stamp-a-Stack event whilst the sun beat down outside. This time their pack included the fabulous Tutti-Fruitti 6”x6” dsp stack and a pack of Glitter Enamel Dots. This dsp pack is so bright and cheerful……..perfect for those Spring/Summer days. I paired the paper up with some fun and playful stamp sets.
