The coneflower image was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the smaller piece of Basic White card and die cut using the largest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

The image was coloured using the following Blends Alcohol Markers – Smoky Slate, Calypso Coral and Petal Pink.

Colours used in this project are:

Poppy Parade

Basic White

To recreate the artistic monochromatic thank you card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

Scrap Basic White card.

Taking the dark Poppy Parade Blends Alcohol Marker, I coloured in a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and set it aside to dry. I love that with these markers we can have ribbon in almost any colour. The ribbon was then wrapped around the larger Basic White panel and adhered on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glue to the Thick Basic White card front.

On the smallest panel of Basic White card, I stamped the long-textured image in Poppy Parade ink, right across the middle.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

Using a T square ruler, I drew a straight pencil line just below centre and using the Playful Alphabet Dies cut out the letters for the word THANKS. I used washi tape to hold the letters in position whilst running them through the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

The panel that the letters were cut from was glued to the Poppy Parade panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

Using the same dies I die cut 2 more of each letter from Basic White card, glued each pair together and added the stamped letter on top. This gives each letter some height and definition. The letters were then glued into the negative spaces on the card front using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – An artistically monochromatic thank you card featuring the eclipse technique and using Stampin’ Up! products

I added a bow to the side of the word and a trio of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

Batik Pattern

Posted on July 9, 2021July 5, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a quirky batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies. I love the symmetry of the stamps in this set, so pretty.

The colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pattern batik card, you will need:

Merry Merlot card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Polished Pink card – 5⅛” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner

Basic White – ¼” strip

I began by stamping the outline of the larger shape in Merry Merlot ink randomly all over the 5” by 3⅛” panel of Basic White. The infill image was added in Polished Pink ink and the base part was stamped in Pale Papaya ink. Don’t these colours look lovely together? I used the trio of dotted circles, stamped in Merry Merlot ink to fill in some of the white space.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Such a pretty batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies

The stamped panel was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Polished Pink panel. I wrapped a piece of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around the panel before adding it to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Such a pretty batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies

Using the Batik Dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut the solid shape from the small Basic White panel. I then die cut the detailed shape from the Merry Merlot and Polished Pink pieces.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Such a pretty batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies

The outline die cut was then glued to the Basic White die cut and the Polished Pink pieces glued into the negative space gaps using the paper-piecing technique. Such a pretty effect. The die cut piece was then added with Dimensionals over top of the ribbon.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Such a pretty batik pattern card made using the Batik Boutique stamp set and Batik Dies

Fabulous Inspiration

Posted on July 4, 2021June 25, 2021 by Mo Rootes

I am sharing a pretty card today inspired by a top worn by my friend Becky. I loved the colour combo and design and had to try to make a card using the same idea of flowers and butterflies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the fabulous inspiration card, you will need:

Smokey Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 4” by 2½”

Using the group of tiny butterflies/dragonflies, I stamped all over the front of the Smoky Slate card front with Smoky Slate ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

Next, I chose 2 of the flowers from the All Things Fabulous Stamp set. I wanted the larger flower to be yellow and the smaller flower pink. These are both 3 step stamping flowers and I always find these easier to line up if I start with the middle image first.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp se

I began by stamping the middle image of the larger flower in 2^nd generation So Saffron ink. I added the first, more solid image in 3^rd generation So Saffron ink getting a lighter shade. Lastly, I added the final most detailed image in full strength So Saffron ink. I repeated this for the second flower.

The smaller flower was stamped in exactly the same way using Flirty Flamingo ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

I inked the leaves in Soft Succulent ink and added some Evening Evergreen ink to the edges of the leaves using the ‘rock & roll’ technique. You take the inked stamp and roll the edges around in the darker ink before stamping.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

All the images were then die cut using my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and the Fabulous Florals Dies. I also die cut a label from the small panel of Basic White card using the Tasteful Labels Dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A sweet card inspired by a friends tee shirt and made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set

The sentiment from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink onto the die cut label and added to the card front on Dimensionals. The flowers and leaves were the arranged around the label and adhered using a combination of Dimensionals and liquid Glue.

I added a trio of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels to finish the card.

I love it. I hope you do as well.

Mountain Diorama for the Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on June 27, 2021June 17, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Share it Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing a project we have been working on. I have been playing with the new Diorama Dies this week and have come up with this sweet card using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Mountain Diorama card, you will need:

Thick Basic White – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Soft Succulent – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Misty Moonlight – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Soft Succulent

I placed the smaller of the dies I planned to use on the Basic White panel to give an idea of positioning – you could draw around it with a pencil. I them stamped the tree from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set in Early Espresso ink. I stamped the ground image using Soft Succulent ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

Next, I stamped the detailed mountains in Misty Moonlight ink and added the mountain shadow in Misty Moonlight which I had stamped off twice to give a lighter shade.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

The tree line was stamped in Soft Succulent ink at the base of the mountains. I reversed the stamp and stamped it again upside down in 2^nd generation ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

I added a Post It Circle punched out using the 1” Circle Punch to the panel and used a Blending Brush to add Balmy Blue ink to my sky area. I then added Pool Party ink to the ground area using the Blending Brush. I added some definition to the tree using my White Chalk Marker.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

The diorama pieces were cut from the Misty Moonlight and Soft Succulent layers. The Misty Moonlight was then added to the stamped piece with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The Soft Succulent layer was then added over the top on Dimensionals. The whole piece was added to the Thick Basic White card front using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely card featuring a mountain diorama, made using the Beauty of Friendship and Mountain Air stamp sets

At this point I thought about a sentiment and choose to use part of a sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set. If I had thought about it before I would have stamped it directly onto the Soft Succulent panel…….. I ended up stamping it in Misty Moonlight ink onto a scrap or Soft Succulent card and fussy cutting it out. It was added with liquid glue.

I really, really like this card. I hope you like it.
