Hills of Tuscany card for Team Training Swaps

Posted on November 29, 2023January 5, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the card I made for our team training swaps. I couldn’t wait to use the Hills of Tuscany stamp set – a sneak peak of a stamp set coming in the Jan – April 2024 Catalogue. To make things easier we have a sketch to give us inspiration.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the Hills of Tuscany card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Softly Stippled dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Misty Moonlight card – 5½” by ⅜” x 2
Misty Moonlight card – 3½” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 4⅛” by ½”

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the Misty Moonlight strips on either side of the Softly Stippled dsp panel. This piece was then adhered to the Thick Basic White card front.

From the 3¼” by 3¼” panel of Basic White card I die cut a stitched circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The hill was stamped in, stamped off or 2^nd generation Granny Apple Green ink with the detail added in Garden Green ink. The house was stamped in Calypso Coral ink and the roof in Misty Moonlight ink.

I added the trees with Garden Green, the sun in Daffodil Delight before stamping the sky in 2^nd generation Pool Party ink. The decorated circle was glued to the Misty Moonlight deckled circle – cut from the 3½” by 3½” panel. The whole piece was munted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

Joyful Flurry card for OnStage Swaps

Posted on November 12, 2022September 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I originally designed this card using a sketch layout for our Team Training event back in September…………….but forgot to take them with me…………duh…. So I decided to make some more and use them as my card swap for the OnStage Live event in Vienna. I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set and co-ordinating Frosted Flurry Dies to make my card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Joyful Flurry card, you will need:

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Orchid Oasis card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” x 2 – one for the inside– rounded upper left corner
Orchid Oasis card – ⅜” strip
Scrap Basic White card

Using a Blending Brush, I applied a light swirl of Tahitian Tide ink to the centre of one of the Basic White panels.

The largest image was then stamped in Orchid Oasis ink and the second smallest in Parakeet Party ink. The second largest snowflake was stamped in Parakeet Party ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut it using the Frosted Flurry Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. This was added to the panel on Dimensionals.

I stamped the smallest snowflake in all three colours onto the decorated panel which was then glued to the Orchid Oasis layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was then added, with the same liquid glue, to the Tahitian Tide card front.

The sentiment was stamped onto the ⅜” strip of Orchid Oasis card in Versamark ink. I used the embossing Buddy prior to stamping to reduce the static. I added the White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. It was added on Mini Dimensionals, straddling the Parakeet Party snowflake.

Beautiful Friend stamp set makes a pretty floral card for a team training swap

Beautiful Friendship swaps

Posted on August 4, 2019August 3, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet card made as a swap for last weeks team training event using my favourite stamp set – Beautiful Friendship. I can’t seem to put this set down, I love it.

To recreate the Beautiful Friendship card you will need;

Real Red card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Garden Green 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2

This is such a simple card but because I was doing a number of them as swaps I decided to stamp the sentiment and the flower image using the Stamparatus. This really speeds up the process.

I stamped the flowers in Real Red ink, I love the texture you get with this stamp. The sentiment was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I actually used 2 different sentiments from the same set.

The leaves were stamped in Garden Green ink and the flower centres added in the Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I glued the stamped layer to the piece of Garden Green cardstock with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added the whole panel on Dimensionals to the Real Red card base.

I stamped the small flower and leaves on the remaining Whisper White panel and glued this inside the card. The same images were stamped on the envelope.
