Poppy Sympathy for the Hopping Around the World Blog Hop

Posted on by

A Poppy Sympathy card . Thank you for joining me for the Hopping Around the World Blog hop where our theme is ‘Sympathy’. If you have hopped over from Rachel Macleod’s blog, welcome, you are currently visiting Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK.  I have chosen to use the Painted Poppies stamp set to make my card today.

To recreate the Poppy Sympathy card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Merry Merlot – 5” by 3⅜” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 4¼” by 3” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner – for the inside

I stamped the pretty poppy image from the Painted Poppy stamp set onto the smaller Whisper White panel in Basic Gray ink. Using the Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce Blends Markers I coloured in the poppy.

The Sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped in Merry Merlot ink beside the poppy.

I inked up the speckled image in Smoky Slate ink, stamped it off onto my grid paper then stamped it the 2nd and 3rd generation ink onto the stamped layer.

I ran the Merry Merlot layer through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. The stamped layer was then added to the embossed layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the ‘speckled’ image again, I stamped around the Smoky Slate card base in 2nd & 3rd generation Smoky Slate ink.

The stamped layer was then added to the card front on Dimensionals and a trio of Silver Metallic Pearls added to complete the card.

A pretty sympathy card made for the Inspire Create #051 challenge using the Snow Front stamp set

A sympathy card for the Inspire Create Challenge #051

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a card mae for the Inspire. Create #051 challenge the theme of which is ‘Sympathy’. I have chosen to make my card using the gorgeous new Snow Front stamp set and some sponging.

To recreate the Sympathy card you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Early Espresso – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – rounded upper left corner

I masked off an area of one Whisper White panel using PostIt Notes and sponged on Balmy Blue ink and Highland Heather ink using Sponge daubers. I love the soft effect sponging gives.

Having peeled off the Postit Notes I stamped the large tree from the Snow Front stamp set, half on and half off the sponged area using Early Espresso ink.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings was stamped in Early Espresso ink before being punched out with the Classic Label Punch. To give a bit of dimension I inked around the label with a sponge dauber and Hightland Heather ink.

The tree was stamped in Early Espresso on the remaining piece of Whisper White and glued inside the card. The same image was used to decorate the front of the envelope.

Pretty card, I hope you like it.

Graceful Glass dsp by Stampin' Up! used for a sympathy card

Graceful Glass Sympathy card

Posted on by

Today I have made a sweet sympathy card using the Graceful Glass Vellum Designer Series Paper. This dsp is absolutely gorgeous and needs very little doing to it to make a stunning card.

Making the Graceful Glass card

I started by choosing the panel of dsp I wanted, I loved this square, scrolly one. I trimmed the panel down, turned it over to the reverse side and coloured it in using the Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Fresh Fig Stampin Write Markers.  It looks so pretty…..

I cut a panel of Whisper White cardstock exactly the same size as the vellum dsp panel, 3” by 3”. I squeezed some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon Mat and using a wedge of sponge I applied the glue, thinly all over the Whisper White panel and added the coloured vellum panel.

I cut a border strip from another of the dsp sheets. I added the coloured vellum panel to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals and tucked the border piece in behind using a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive where it would be hidden.

The sentiment from the Painted Glass stamp set was stamped in below the coloured panel in Tranquil Tide ink. I love the font in this stamp set.

This is such a striking card. I hope you like it.
