Rustic Christmas Crate – Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired to make a Christmas card using a sketch and colour challenge.

 

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the rustic crate card, you will need:

Real Red card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 4”
Garden Green card – 5” by 3”
Basic White card – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using the poinsettia image, I stamped in the upper left and lower right corner of the Real Red card base using Real Red ink.

The poinsettia image was then stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the panel of Basic White card measuring 4” by 3”. I stamped the same image onto a Post It note, taking care to stamp part of the image onto the sticky part. I used scissors to cut out this image to use as a mask.

Placing the mask over the stamped image, I stamped the wooden crate over the bottom of the image using Pecan Pie ink. The mask was then removed.

I coloured the image in using the following Blends Pens – Real Red and Granny Apple Green. The flower centres were coloured using a Garden Green Stampin Write Marker from the Regals Collection. I grounded the image with a Crumb Cake Blends Pen.

Using the Countryside Corners Dies I die cut the stamped and coloured image and added it to a slightly larger label die cut from the Garden Green layer using the Countryside Corner Dies. The two labels were adhered together.

I die cut a larger label from the 5½” by 4” panel of Basic White card using the same dies. I wrapped a length of checked ribbon around the label, securing it on the back with Sellotape. I glued it to the Real Red card front. The stamped panel was added on Dimensionals to the card front.

The sentiment, from the retired Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink. I cut it down, flagged the end and added it to the card front. A trio of Iridescent Foil Gems and a ribbon bow completed the card.

Four cards made for the Christmas Stampathon using the Merriest Moments stamp set and Merriest Frames dies and embossing folder

Merriest Moments for the Christmas Stampathon

Posted on by

I have been creating cards for the Christmas Stampathon and this month’s theme is to use flowers on our Christmas cards and to make a minimum of four. I used pretty Merriest Moments stamp set and co-ordinating Merriest Frames Dies & Hybrid Embossing Folder to make my cards.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate one merriest moment’s card, you will need:

Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card and envelope
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 4⅛”
Scrap Basic White card

Using the Merriest Frames dies and the hybrid Embossing Folder I embossed and simultaneously die cut the gorgeous decorated frame from the large panel of Basic White card.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a pretty poinsettia Christmas tree bauble on a rustic wood slice.

Tree Baubles for the December 2021 Class

Posted on by

Today I am sharing two pretty baubles designed for my December classes and made using the Poinsettia and Cabin dies.

Coloured we used are:

 

Poinsettia Bauble

Wood Slice –  I got mine here – https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B082HR4RV3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Real Red card – 8¼” by 3¼
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”
Scrap Gold Foil card
Jute Twine

We die cut and embossed the 3 layers of poinsettia petals from the Real Red card using the Poinsettia dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. They were then spayed, using a Spritzer, with a mixture of Frost White Shimmer Paint and Alcohol. They were then set aside to dry. The Frost White Shimmer Paint is sadly retired but you could use Clear Wink of Stella instead.

When they were dry, we curled the petals using a Bone Folder. The layers were then adhered together, offset, with Mini Glue Dots. We added the centre, die cut from Gold Foil card using the same Poinsettia Dies. It was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We used some rustic jute twine from my stash to make a loop and bow to hang the bauble.

Cabin Bauble

Basic White circle – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Soft Suede – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”

Using a heavy-duty hole punch we punched a hole at the top of the wood circle.

I mounted the Birch background stamp on a Stamparatus plate, I find it easier to handle than the largest block, ink it up with Misty Moonlight ink and stamped it onto the bauble. It was then set aside to dry.

Placing the Basic White circle on top of the Soft Suede circle I ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the detailed cabin die. We lifted the Basic White layer off the Soft Suede layer, leaving all the bits stuck on the Soft Suede piece. Using a Take Your Pick Tool we carefully lifted off the white scrap leaving the Soft Suede piece intact. The 2 pieces were then stuck together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. We added the cabin to the bauble on Dimensionals.

The trees were then die cut from the Garden Green layer using trees from the Cain Dies and tucked around the cabin. Using either liquid glue or Dimensionals. We added a loop of twine to the top to hang the bauble.

These baubles were such fun to make, I hope you like them.

Poinsettia Bauble for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Tree Decorations’ – such a fun challenge. I have used the gorgeous Poinsettia Dies to make a hanging bauble for my tree.

Colours used in the Poinsettia Bauble are:

To recreate this project, you will need:

4” wooden circle
Real Red card – 8¼” by 3¼”

A beautiful wicker 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

3D Poinsettia Wreath- Stampin ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘3D’. If you have hopped over from the lovely Jill Chapman, you are very welcome. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes in the UK. Please continue to hop through to see all the inspiration the other participants have to share.

I have chosen to share the wreath I have made for my lovely Mum who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease and is in a care home. As we are currently in lockdown in an effort to stop the rise of Covid-19, we are unable to visit her. I made her this pretty Poinsettia Wreath for the lovely staff who care for her to hang on her door.

To recreate the 3D Poinsettia Wreath, you will need:

Real Red card stock
Flirty Flamingo card stock
Garden Green stock
Soft Sea Foam card stock
Whisper White card stock
Silver Foil card

Taking the stunning Metallic Mesh Ribbon, I started wrapping it loosely around a pretty wicker wreath bought from a local craft store. I love this ribbon; it is so light and fragile looking but adds such a pop of style.

I used some of the really pretty Beaded Pearls to the centre of each flower using Mini Glue Dots.

As a finishing touch I sprayed the flowers with some Frost White Shimmer Paint  mixed with 70% alcohol to give some extra shimmer.

So pretty I really hope Mum likes it.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.

The embossed layer was added to the Real Red panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the strip of Heartwarming Hugs added using the same adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Garden Green card front using the same glue.

Using the Poinsettia dies, we cut and embossed the 3 layers of petals from the larger panel of Real Red. We used a sponge Dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink to add depth of colour to the edges of each petal. We used Bone Folders to give the petal shape and adhered the 3 layers together with adhesive.

The flower was added to the card front using liquid adhesive. We used a gorgeous Beaded Pearl to the centre of the flower and a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

To recreate the Poinsettia Spray card, you will need:

Real Red card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded on the long side at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner.
Garden Green – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner.
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner – x 2 for the inside and the outside

We stamped the full poinsettia flower in Cherry Cobbler ink onto one of the Whisper White panels. Prior to the class I had stamped the same image onto a Post It Note and cut it out to use as a mask.

With the mask in place we stamped the outline leaves in Garden Green ink and added the infill colour in stamped off Garden Green ink. The berry sprig was stamped in Soft Suede ink and infilled with Bumblebee ink before the mask was removed.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was added in Garden Green ink.

The poinsettia was coloured using Cherry Cobbler and Real Red Blends Markers and the centre was coloured with Mango Melody Blends.

The stamped panel was glued to the Garden Green layer then added to the Real Red card base on Dimensionals and a trio of Red Rhinestones added to complete the card.

To recreate the Merry Christmas card, you will need:

Thick Whisper White card – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded on the long side at 4⅛”
Soft Suede – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Real Red – 3⅝” by 1⅜”
Whisper White – 3⅝” by 1”

We used a 1” wide strip of Post It Note and placed it about 1¼” down from the top of the Whisper White panel.

Starting with the largest image we stamped above and below the Post It Note. The leaves and sprigs were added filling in the space above and below the Post It, building up the texture as we went. The colours we used were Real Red, Soft Suede, Bumblebee, Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green and Pool Party. The Post It strip was the removed.

The stamped panel was glued to the Soft Suede layer and then to the Thick Whisper White card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the 1” strip of Whisper White and the panel was mounted on the Real Red layer with glue and then added to the card front on Dimensionals and a trio of Red Rhinestones added to complete the card.

I really hope you like the cards.
