The largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies was die cut from the larger square of Basic White card. The leafy wreath was stamped in the centre of the die cut circle in Garden Green ink. I turned the stamp 90°and stamped the wreath again without re-inking. The twiggy wreath was stamped on top in Soft Suede. The stamped circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Painted Fox for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on July 8, 2022July 8, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop where we are sharing projects inspired by a sketch. I have chosen to make a painted fox card using a stamp set available for free with a £45 order from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the painted fox card, you will need:

Starry Sky card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Garden Green card – 5⅝” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Ringed With Love dsp – 3 ½” by 2”

I began by gluing the 3 panels of Ringed With Love designer series paper to the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This panel was then embossed using the Painted Textures Embossing Folder, doesn’t it look great?

The embossed panel was then glued to the Garden Green layer and then to the Starry Sky layer using the same liquid glue.

The stitched circle was lying on my desk, left over from another project and had been die cut, using the Stylish Shapes Dies and a 3¼” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card. I placed the circle into my Stampartus, placed the fox, from the Stylish Sketches stamp set onto the circle and picked it up with the door.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Stylish Sketches stamp set used to make a pretty thank you card for ta sketch challenge with the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I inked the grass using a Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker and the fox using a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Write Marker. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped down on the circle. I repeated the re-inking to get a darker image. I used a water Painter to blend out the ink n the fox and set it to dry.

Using Blending Brushes, I added Balmy Blue ink to the sky and Garden Green ink to the ground. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the gorgeous script stamp in Purple Posy ink overtop of the stamped leaves. Those colours look so pretty together.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Very Versailles stamp set used for the Stamp ‘n Hop sketch Challenge

The medallion was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto the small panel of Purple Posy cardstock, I added the sentiment in the same ink. The medallion was then die cut using the Layering Circle dies. A slightly larger scalloped circle was die cut using the same dies and the Pretty Peacock square. The two circles were adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The Purple Posy strip was die cut using thedetailed scalloped edge from the Arts & Crafts dies. I only used the negative piece for this project keeping the detailed piece for another project. I adhered the die cut strip to a piece of the Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon with the pretty peacock scallop at the top and adhered the strip to the stamped panel.

Today I am sharing a card made using the Hanging Garden stamp set for the Inspire Create #041 Challenge. The challenge this week is a sketch challenge, love these, they are great for pushing you out of your comfort zone.

I began by using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the 2 pieces of designer series paper (dsp) to the larger Whisper White panel with one piece slightly overlapping the other. I wrapped a piece of Granny Apple Green Ribbon around the panel covering the join and attached the ribbon on the back with Sellotape. This whole piece was then attached to the Granny Apple green card base using the same adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com -The Hanging Garden stamp set used for the Inspire CReate #041 Challenge

I stamped the hanging baskets from the Hanging Garden stamp set each one below the next in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I used the following Blends markers to colour in the images – Flirty Flamingo combo, Granny Apple Green combo, Petal Pink combo, Crumb Cake combo and Highland Heather light. I deliberately chose these colours to mimic the colour palette of the dsp.

www.crafty-rootes.com -The Hanging Garden stamp set used for the Inspire CReate #041 Challenge

The stamped and coloured layer was then added to the card front on Dimensionals. The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto a scrap of Whisper White and trimmed down with my scissors. It was added to the panel with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A sweet card made using new product from the up-coming 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalogue

Sneak Peek Daisy Lane

Posted on April 19, 2019April 18, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sneak peek card made using some of the new products I received at OnStage last weekend. I love getting new product to play with and made this card for a team sketch challenge.

Making the Daisy lane card

You will need;
Mint Macaron card base
Whisper White 5⅝” by 3⅞” x 2 – rounded upper left corner – 1 for the inside
Flirty Flamingo 4 ¼” by 2” – rounded lower right corner
Whisper White 4⅛” by 1⅞” – rounded lower right corner
Scrap strips of Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo & Smoky Slate
Scrap Whisper for stamping a daisy and sentiment

I began by stamping the stem and leaves in Mint Macaron ink onto the smaller panel of Whisper White cardstock. I added the daisy head in Flirty Flamingo ink. I didn’t like the way I had stamped the daisy head and ended up stamping it again onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and fussy cutting it out. It was added to the stamped layer on dimensionals. The panel was then added to the Flirty Flamingo cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sneak peek card made using the new Daisy Lane and Birch stamp sets by Stampin’ Up!

Next I inked up the Birch background stamp using Smoky Slate ink, I find it easier to lay these large background stamps face up on the grid paper before inking them up and laying the cardstock on top. I used one of the larger panels of Whisper White cardstock for this. I really like the birch markings of this stamp; it adds a great bit of texture to the card. I added the birch stamped panel to the front of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sneak peek card made using the new Daisy Lane and Birch stamp sets by Stampin’ Up!

I added a strip of Mint Macaron, Smoky Slate and Flirty Flamingo cardstock behind the daisy stamped layer using Snail adhesive and added the panel to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sneak peek card made using the new Daisy Lane and Birch stamp sets by Stampin’ Up!

The sentiment from the Well Said stamp set was stamped in Mint Macaron ink onto scrap Whisper White which I trimmed down using my scissors. I backed it with a small piece of Mint Macaron cardstock cut to size and the sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A sneak peek card made using the new Daisy Lane and Birch stamp sets by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the daisy head on the remaining Whisper White panel in Flirty Flamingo ink and added it to the inside of the card. The same image was stamped onto an envelope.
