Beautiful Friend stamp set makes a pretty floral card for a team training swap

Beautiful Friendship swaps

Posted on August 4, 2019August 3, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card made as a swap for last weeks team training event using my favourite stamp set – Beautiful Friendship. I can’t seem to put this set down, I love it.

To recreate the Beautiful Friendship card you will need;

Real Red card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Garden Green 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2

This is such a simple card but because I was doing a number of them as swaps I decided to stamp the sentiment and the flower image using the Stamparatus. This really speeds up the process.

I stamped the flowers in Real Red ink, I love the texture you get with this stamp. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I actually used 2 different sentiments from the same set.

First Frost Double Z Fold Card

Posted on December 11, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card I made for the special birthday of one of my oldest friends. I used the gorgeous First Frost stamp set and the co-ordinating Frosted Bouquet dies to make a pretty floral card.

Making the card

www.crafty-rootes.com – A Double Z fold First Frost card for a special birthday

I started with 2 pieces of Thick Whisper White cardstock, one measuring 11” by 5½” and the other measuring 9¼” by 4¼”. Using my paper trimmer I scored both pieces at 2 ¾” and 5 ½”. I cut 3 panels of Frosted Floral dsp, one at 5¼” by 5¼” and 2 at 5¼” by 2 ½” and glued these to the larger of the Thick Whisper White card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A Double Z fold First Frost card for a special birthday

I rounded 2 double corners of the smaller Thick Whisper White panel with the Decorative Trio Punch. I then added panels of Grapefruit Grove cardstock – one measuring 3⅞” by 3⅜” and two measuring 3⅞” by 2½” having rounded the same corners.

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock 3¾” by 3¼” and stamped the leaves and sprigs in, 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation Old Olive and Grapefruit Grove ink

I cut two panels of Whisper White measuring 2¾” by 2⅜”. I stamped the same leaves and sprigs onto the panels using the Old Olive and Grapefruit Grove inks as before. The stamped panels were then added to the Grapefruit Grove panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A Double Z fold First Frost card for a special birthday

I stamped the numbers from the retired Number of Years stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink and die cut them using the Big Shot and the large Number Dies before adding them to the larger stamped panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The words from the same stamp set were stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.

I stamped the lovely roses onto Whisper White cardstock; 1 large and 1 small in Cherry Cobbler and a second small one in Grapefruit Grove. These were then die cut using the Frosted Bouquet dies and the Big Shot. I added the large Cherry Cobbler and small Grapefruit Grove roses to the front panel and the smaller Cherry Cobber rose to the last panel.

I love the colour combo of this card and hope Jo likes it.

Painted Glass celebration card using Stampin' Up! product

Painted Glass for a team member promotion

Posted on August 12, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card I made recently using the Painted Glass Stamp set and co-ordinating Stained Glass dies. I made the card for my lovely team member Jill who promoted to Bronze Elite, well done Jill.

Making the painted Glass card

I started by using my Embossing Buddy on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock then stamping the gorgeous sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set in Versamark ink. I covered the sentiment with Copper Embossing Powder before using my Heat Tool to melt the embossing powder. I really love this gothic style font and it looks amazing when embossed.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Painted Glass stamp set by Stampin’ Up for a team promotion

I die cut the sentiment using the Stitched Shaped framelit dies and die cut a scalloped oval using the Layered Oval dies from Copper Foil. I glued these together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Painted Glass stamp set by Stampin’ Up for a team promotion

On another scrap of Whisper White card I stamped the rose image 4 times in Versamark ink, covered it with Copper Embossing Powder then heated it with my Heat Tool. Taking the Flirty Flamingo ink and the Highland Heather ink and Sponge daubers I applied ink to all the flowers. When they were all coloured I ran them through my Big Shot with the co-ordinating Stained Glass dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Painted Glass stamp set by Stampin’ Up for a team promotion

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5¼” by 3½” and added a strip of Flirty Flamingo cardstock and a strip of Highland Heather cardstock 4½” by ¼” diagonally across the panel and added the stamped oval over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I then added the 4 roses to the panel with either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. For some added interest I rounded the upper right corner with the Detailed trio Punch.I added this panel to a layer of Highland Heather cardstock 4 ½” by 3 ¾”. This whole layer was added to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. As a final touch I added a scattering of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

I really like this card and colour combo. I hope Jill likes it

A Special Double Z Fold Card

Posted on June 29, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card I made for the 60^th birthday of one of my oldest and dearest friends. 4 of us started our nurse training over 40 years ago and have remained firm friends ever since. I seem to gravitate to these double z fold cards for all my special birthdays at the moment but I do love them.

Making a Double Z Fold card

I started with a panel of Thick Whisper White 11” by 5½” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then cut another piece of Thick Whisper White 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products

I chose a pattern from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper stack (dsp) and cut a piece at 5¼” by 5¼” and a piece at 5¼” by 2½”. I adhered the dsp to the 11” by 5½” scored panel of Thick Whisper White, the larger panel on what will become the back of the card and the smaller panel to the front of the card using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. On this occasion I left the middle panel undecorated.

www,crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products

I cut 3 panels of Old Olive cardstock; 1 panel at 4” by 4” and 2 panels at 4” by 2½” and adhered them to the smaller scored Thick Whisper White panel. I then cut 3 panels of Whisper White; 1 panel at 3¾” by 3¾” and 2 panels at 3¾” by 2¼”. I stamped the gorgeous roses from the Petal Palette stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink along the bottom of the larger Whisper White panel and in the upper right corner of the same panel. I then stamped the roses on either the upper right or lower left of the other two panels and coloured them in using the following Stampin’ Blends – Dark Pink Pirouette (retired), Light Lovely Lipstick, Light & Dark Old Olive. I rounded the corners of the layers using the Detailed Trio Punch.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products

I stamped the ‘Happy’, ‘Birthday’ and ‘th’ in Momento Tuxedo Black ink on the front and second panels. These words came from the, sadly now retired, Number of Years stamp set. I die cut the 2 number using the also retired Large Number Framelits from Old Olive cardstock. I cut 3 of each and layered them one on top of the other to give added dimension. The numbers were then added to the front panel with Tombow.

The 2 Thick Whisper White pieces were then carefully glued together. To finish the card I made an envelope using my Envelope Punch Board.

Love the colours of this card and I really hope my friend loves it and forgives me for the large ‘60’ on the front!!

Details of the products I used for this project can be found below. I also used the Number of Years stamp set and Light & Dark Pink Pirouette Blends which have sadly retired. Also the Light Lovely Lipstick Blend which is not yet available for purchase.

Special Birthday card using Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin' Up!

Number of Years and Birthday Blooms for a Special Birthday

Posted on May 29, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Birthday Blooms stamp set, the Number of Years Stamp set and the Large Numbers dies. These are all retiring from the Annual Catalogue on the 31^st of May and I will really miss them. I made this card for my Mum who is celebrating her special birthday in a couple of days.

Making the card

I began with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 11” by 5½” which I scored on the long side at 2¾” by 5½” using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I took a 2^nd piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then folded and burnished all of the score lines.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin’ Up!

I chose 2 patterns from the Tutti-Frutti dsp stack and cut 2 panels at 5⅜” by 2⅝” and one panel at 5⅝” by 5⅝”. I then adhered these to the larger Thick Whisper White panel leaving a tiny border round each panel.

I then cut panels in Lemon Lime Twist cardstock – one at 4” by 3½” and two at 4” by 2⅝” and Whisper White panels – one at 3⅞” by 3⅜” and two at 3⅞” by 2⅜”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin’ Up!

On the larger Whisper White panel I stamped the large rose image from the Birthday Blooms stamp set in the lower left hand corner using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the smaller rose image in the bottom left or top right on the remaining Whisper White panels. I coloured the flowers in with the Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and the Light and Dark Old Olive Blends Pens.

I stamped the word ‘birthday’ using Momento Tuxedo Black ink on the on the panel with the small bloom in the lower left hand corner. I took some scrap Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and die cut each of the numbers 3 times using my Big Shot and glued them together to give added dimension. I then glued them to the largest stamped Whisper White panel. The word ‘happy’ and ‘th’ were then stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink either side of the die cut numbers. I rounded one corner of each of the Whisper White panels and the same corners on the Lemon Lime Twist panels using the new Detailed Trio Punch. These panels were then adhered together with Tombow liquid Adhesive and added to the small Thick Whisper White panel. I then glued the 2 main panels together.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin’ Up!

To finish off I made an envelope using my Envelope Punch Board and the gorgeous Delightful Daisy dsp which will also retire on the 31^st May.

I love the bright, sunny colours used on this card. I really hope my Mum likes it.

Gorgeous card trio using the Petal Palette Stamp Set and Petals and More dies by Stampin' Up!

Petal Palette for April Classes

Posted on April 13, 2018April 11, 2018 by Mo Rootes

For April’s classes we used the gorgeous Petal Palette Stamp Set, Petals & More Dies and one of the Petal Pair Embossing Folders to create 3 summery looking cards including an easel card. The ladies who came loved the set and the cards we made.

Card 1

Double layered stamping using the Petal Palette Stamp set

www.crafty-rootes.com – Petal Palette Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

I wanted to show the ladies the double layer stamping technique and this stamp set was just perfect. We started with a Thick Whisper White card base and added a panel of Whisper White 4¾” by 3” to the centre with a little temporary adhesive. We inked up the large group of roses using Momento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it in the upper left hand corner making sure to overlap the edge of the layer. The sentiment was stamped in the same ink at the bottom right corner of the Whisper White panel.

We then took the Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil and scribbled colour onto the roses using a Blender Pen to soften and blend the colour. We used the Lemon Lime Twist Watercolor Pencil to add colour to the leaves and added a little depth with the Old Olive Watercolor Pencil. The Blender Pen was used again to mix the colours.

The Whisper White layer was then separated from the card base, the upper right corner rounded with a ½” WRMK Corner Rounder and added to a Basic Black cardstock layer with an identically rounded corner. The panel was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. We then added Basic Rhinestones to add a little sparkle.

Card 2

Sweet card using the Petal Palette Stamp set and Petal Pairs embossing folder

www.crafty-rootes.com – Petal Palette Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

We stamped the same rose image onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and coloured it in with the Watercolor Pencils as before. Using the Petals & More dies and the Big Shot we cut out the stamped and coloured image.

Using the Big Shot again we embossed a strip of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2¼” using one of the embossing folders in the Petal Pair set. We wrapped a length of Black Shimmer Ribbon around one edge and used Mini Glue Dots to secure the ribbon on the back. This panel was then added to the front of a Lemon Lime Twist card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The die cut roses were then added to the right side of the card front.

We stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Banners stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it down. We added a scrap strip of Melon Mambo cardstock to the bottom of the sentiment and ticked the end under the flowers and finished with some Basic Rhinestones.

Card 3

Easel card using the Petal Palette Stamp set

www.crafty-rootes.com – Petal Palette Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

We began by folding and burnishing the Thick Whisper White card base which I had cut at 11⅞” by 4⅛ and scored at 2 15/16” and 5⅞”. We then set this aside.

We stamped the lovely dotted image onto the bottom of a Whisper White panel 4¾“by 3”, about 1” from the bottom using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink stamped off to give a lighter shade. We then added the leaf image in Lemon Lime Twist ink above using both first and second generation ink. I absolutely love this image, so versatile as well.

Onto scrap Whisper White cardstock we stamped the sweet little bird in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and 3 flowers in Melon Mambo ink and die cut them out using the Petals & More dies and the Big Shot. Using the Watercolor Pencils we coloured in the bird………..so cute.

We die cut the label from the Petals & More dies then stamped the sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I find it easier to position the sentiment onto the die cut piece rather than stamping and then die cutting – personal preference. The sentiment was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bird was added with its feet resting on the die cut sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. We added one of the sweet Petal Passion Embellishments to the sentiment strip.

We rounded the upper corners of the stamped Whisper White panel, the Basic Black/Basic Gray panel and the Melon Mambo Panels and glued the 3 together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. We added the whole panel to the card front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive on the lower part only. The die cut flowers were then added to the inside panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals to support the card front when the card is open.

The ladies really enjoyed making these projects. Hope you like them as well.
