A gorgeous thank you card in Spring colours made using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Beautiful Promenade emboss resist technique

Posted on May 10, 2019May 6, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set…….I am addicted to this set at the moment, it is so versatile – and the emboss resit technique.

To Recreate the Beautiful Promenade card you will need;

Thick Whisper White card base
Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2”
Highland Heather 5⅞” by ⅜” x 2
Scrap of Whisper White
Scrap of Flirty Flamingo

I began by rubbing the Embossing Buddy down the strip of Whisper White cardstock to remove any static or oils from the cardstock. I inked up the stripey ‘inner flower’ with Versamark ink and stamped it randomly down the length of the cardstock. The panel was then covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool.

I used Sponge Daubers to apply the ink over each of the flowers – Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather and wiped off the excess ink using a tissue.

I glued the strips of Highland Heather either side of the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added it to the Thick Whisper White card base with Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Beach Happy stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink onto a scrap of Whisper White The ends were flagged with my Banner Triple Punch and added a slightly longer and thinner strip of scrap Flirty Flamingo cardstock behind with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The sentiment was then added to the card front with the same adhesive.

I stamped the same image in Flirty Flamingo ink on the inside of the card and the front of the envelope. I coloured a trio of Basic Pearls using my Dark Flirty Flamingo Blends Pen and added them to the card front.

Doily Builder Swaps for OnStage

Posted on April 14, 2019April 11, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Making the Doily Builder card swap

Swaps for OnStage made using the gorgeous Doily Builder dies by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – A glorious Spring coloured card front using the Doily Builder dies by Stampin’ Up!

You will need;
Window Sheet 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Whisper White cardstock 5⅛” by 3½” – Rounded upper right corner
Either Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo or So Saffron cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner
Scraps of Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron cardstock, Whisper White & Gray Granite cardstock for die cutting and punching

I began by cutting the large doily into the Window sheet using my Big Shot. This gave me a sturdy stencil that could be used multiple times over.

I placed the mask onto the Whisper White panel, holding it in place with my finger. I inked up the stencil using So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana inks in random orders. I moved the stencil and repeated again using the colours randomly.

I stamped the sentiment in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Whisper White and punched it out using the Classic Label punch. This was added to the stamped panel on Dimensionals.

I die cut the medium and small doilies using the same three colours and added one small and one medium doily to the stamped panel using Mini Glue Dots.

The Gray Granite butterfly was punched out using the Butterfly Duet punch and this was added to the stamped panel with a Mini Glue Dot. The panel was then added to a panel of Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo or So Saffron cardstock and a trio of Iridescent Sequins added to complete the card front.

I really liked the combination of Spring like colours. Ihope you like it.
