Christmas Mountain Air for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on July 10, 2021July 10, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are showcasing our favourite bundle. My favourite bundle is the gorgeous and so versatile Mountain Air stamp set and Majestic Mountain Die and I have created a Christmas Mountain Air card. I have used the stamps for my card today and paired it with the So Many Snowflakes Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Christmas Mountain Air card, you will need:

Pool Party base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Misty Moonlight card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

Taking one of the smaller panels of Basic White, I stamped the detailed mountains in Misty Moonlight ink. I reversed the stamp, inked it again with Misty Moonlight ink, stamped off twice onto scrap paper before stamping it over the detailed mountains.

I inked the detailed trees with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped them below the mountains. I cleaned the stamped and inked it again in Pool Party and stamped it upside down below the trees to give the illusion of water.

Using a mask punched from a Post It Note with a ¾” Circle Punch, I added some Pool Party ink to the sky with a Blending Brush.

Using the So Many Snowflakes Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut out the centre from the other, identically sized, Basic White panels.

I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Misty Moonlight ink and the bottom of the die cut panel. The panel was then added onto the stamped and inked panel with Dimensionals. The whole piece was added to the Misty Moonlight panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set was stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel.

I stamped the largest snowflake in Bermuda Bay ink randomly over the same panel. I added the other two snowflakes in Rococo Rose ink. The group of small snowflakes were stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and the dotty image Was used to fill in the gaps using Rococo Rose ink.

Using one of the Blending Brushes I added some Rococo Rose ink over the stamped snowflakes. The panel was then added to the Cherry Cobbler panel using the liquid glue. The panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I don’t know about you but I love Christmas crafting and had a hard job deciding on a stamp set to use. Eventually I settled on the gorgeous Snowflake Wishes stamp set.

To recreate the Snowflakes Wishes card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner

I used a one of the fantastic new blending brushes to apply Seaside Spray ink to the Whisper White panel for some background interest. These blending brushes will be available from the 5th January 2021 in our January to June 2021 mini catalogue.

Snowflake Tree Ornament

Posted on November 28, 2020November 24, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the November 2020 Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop. Our theme this month is ‘Christmas Tree Bauble’ and I have used the gorgeous So Many Snowflakes Dies to make my simple snowflake tree ornament. If you have started here of hopped over from my crafty friend Susan Simpson, you are very welcome.

To recreate the Snowflake Tree Ornament, you will need:

Magenta Madness card
Gold Foil card

Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut 2 of the medium snowflakes from Gold Foil card and 4 smaller snowflakes from the Magenta Madness card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty snowflake tree ornament made for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop using the So Many Snowflake Dies

I used a rolled up Mini Glue Dot to adhere one of the Gold Foil snowflakes to the Gold Hoop. The second Gold Foil snowflake was added to the back using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to stick the snowflakes together.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty snowflake tree ornament made for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop using the So Many Snowflake Dies

The Magenta Madness snowflakes were laid on my grid paper and sprayed with Champagne Shimmer Mist. This was made by pouring 70% alcohol into a Stampin’ Spritzer and adding a pea sized blob of Champagne Shimmer Paint before shaking well and spraying the snowflakes. This gives a lovely shimmer and the alcohol means it dries quickly.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty snowflake tree ornament made for the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop using the So Many Snowflake Dies

I used rolled up Mini Glue Dots to adhere a pink snowflake either side of the larger gold snowflake. The remaining pink snowflakes were added to the back with the liquid glue.

Gold twine was then added to the gold hoop to hang the ornament and Gold Glitter Dios were added to each snowflake, front and back. Pretty but very simple. I just love these bright pink snowflakes. I hope you like them.

Smoky Slate card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner

I began by stamping one of the groups of smaller snowflakes in Smoky Slate ink onto the Smoky Slate card base for a bit of tone on tone texture.

Using the same ink I stamped one of the large snowflakes onto the smaller Whisper White panel. I took another of the large snowflakes and stamped it over the first snowflake in 2^nd Generation Smoky Slate ink.

Using the So Many Snowflake Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut one of the small snowflakes from the scrap Magenta Madness card. This snowflake was added on top of the stamped snowflakes using cut up Mini Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Snowflake Wishes stamp set was stamped below the snowflakes in Magenta Madness ink. I absolutely love this colour – it really pops doesn’t it?

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous shimmery, pink snowflake themed Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! product

I managed to get a little Magenta Madness ink smudge below the sentiment so added a couple of the tiny snowflakes in the Magenta ink to hide it………

The stamped layer was glued to the Magenta Madness layer using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card I added a Basic Rhinestone to the centre of the snowflake and I couldn’t resist spraying the whole card with my handmade Frost White Shimmer Spray. This was made by filling a Stampin’ Spritzer ¾ full of 70% alcohol and adding a pea sized drop of the shimmer paint. Shake well and spray. GORGEOUS………….

I hope you like the card.

To recreate the embossed snowflakes card you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
