Cherry Cobbler Tuscan Villa

Posted on March 29, 2024March 22, 2024 by Mo Rootes

I have used the gorgeous Hills of Tuscany stamp set to make a pretty card featuring a Cherry Cobbler Tuscan villa. I can’t seem to get enough of this fantastic stamp set.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the cherry cobbler Tuscan villa card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Crumb Cake card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Cherry Cobbler card – 4” by 2½”
Basic White card – 4 ½” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I embossed the 5⅝” by 3⅞” panel of Crumb Cake card using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. A length of Basic White Baker’s Twine was wrapped around the embossed panel before it was glued to the Crumb Cake card base.

Using the Everyday Details Dies, I die cut rectangle from the 4 ½” by 3” panel of Basic White card. I used Post It Notes to mask of the sides of the die cut rectangle.

The house was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and the roof added in Pebbled Path ink. I used a Basic Black Stamp ‘n Write marker to colour in the windows.

The sky was stamped in 1^st and 2^nd generation Balmy Blue ink and the sunny added with Lemon Lolly ink.

Oceanfront & On The Horizon Classes

Posted on March 15, 2022March 13, 2022 by Mo Rootes

I am addicted to the Oceanfront and On the Horizon stamp sets and used them to make projects for this month’s classes.

Colours used in these projects are:

Basic White – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White, Garden Green & Granny Apple Green

We punched a circle from a Post It Note and placed it near the top of the smaller panel of Basic White card. The sky was then stamped in Balmy Blue ink. The mask was removed and So Saffron ink added with a Dauber.

The grass was stamped in Granny Apple Green and the ground in Sahara Sand. We used the dotty image to add texture to the ground.

Using the Horizon Dies we cut out trees from scrap Garden Green. The grasses were cut from scrap Granny Apple Green card and the fence from scrap Basic White.

We added texture to the die cut grass using the grass image from the On The Horizon stamp set and Garden Green ink. The white die cut fence was stamped with the wood plank image.

The die cuts were then added to the stamped panel. The whole layer was added to the Garden Green panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the Balmy Blue card base on Dimensionals.

Rural Scene

Evening Evergreen – 5⅛” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Evening Evergreen – 4⅛” by ⅛” x 3
Basic White ¼” strip

The Evening Evergreen strips were glued to the Granny Apple Green card base, using the grid paper to get them as straight as possible.

We stamped the back ground using the same images from the Oceanfront stamp set in the same way as the previous card but in 2^nd generation ink.

The trees from the On the Horizon stamp set were stamped in Evening Evergreen ink. The same ink was used to add the grasses to the image.

The stamped panel was then mounted on the Evening Evergreen layer with liquid glue and then to the Granny Apple Green card front.

Oceanfront

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pool Party – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”

Basic White – ½” strip
Crumb Cake – 2” by ½”

We began by stamping the sky in Balmy Blue ink using the same Post It mask. The ‘sea’ was added with Pool Party ink and the ground using Sahara Sand ink.

The sentiment was stamped in Soft Suede ink onto Crumb Cake card and added to the card front.
