A pretty daisy thank you card made using Stampin' Up! product.

Ornate Daisy

Posted on April 14, 2020April 13, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I have made an ornate daisy card using the stunning Ornate Garden suite and oh my goodness I love it all.

To recreate the Ornate Garden card you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Basic Gray – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper right corner x 2
Poppy Parade – 3½” by 2”
Whisper White – 2½” by 1¼”
Scrap Whisper White

I started by running one of the Whisper White layers through the Big Shot with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder. This folder is so intricate, it is gorgeous.

I added the embossed panel to the Basic Gray layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A strip of Poppy Parade ribbon was wrapped around the embossed piece and adhered on the back with Sellotape. The piece was then glued to the Poppy Parade card base with the liquid adhesive.

Making the Quilted card.

Monochromatic Tropical Chic

Posted on October 30, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I really wanted to make a card using a monochromatic colour scheme and pulled out the Tropical Chic stamp set to make this card. I love this stamp set but it hasn’t had much love lately.

Making the Monochromatic Tropical Chic card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card

I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and stamped 3 of the leaf images from the stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink, Gray Granite ink or Smoky Slate ink. I concentrated the images down the left hand side of the panel overlapping to add some dimension.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card

I wrapped a piece of Black Shimmer Ribbon around the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The layer was then added to a panel of Basic Black cardstock measuring 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive. This was then added to a Gray Granite card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card

The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut using the Layering Oval Dies and my Big Shot. I then die cut a scalloped oval from the same die cut and glued the two layers together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish the card I added some Faceted Dots.

I really like the monochromatic look of this card. I hope you like it.

Beautiful Promenade

Posted on August 26, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Earlier this week we had my husband’s cousin and her partner visiting from Canada and they were fascinated with my Big Shot……… who isn’t!!! I cut a few pieces out using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and Beautiful Layers framelit dies to demonstrate how it worked and decided to use them to make a card today. So this card is for you Helen and T.J.

Making the Beautiful Promenade card

I began by placing the Whisper White die cut doily onto a 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Lifting the doily to one side I stamped the striped flower image twice using 2^nd generation Coastal Cabana ink so that the stamped flowers would be partially covered by the doily. 2^nd generation means inking up your stamp then stamping it onto scrap paper – I use Grid Paper – then stamping again without re-inking onto your project which gives you a lighter shade of the original colour.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin’ Up

At this point I decided that the background was too stark so ran the Soft Sea Foam panel through my Big Shot using the Tufted embossing folder.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I took the flower I had stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock then die cut using my Big Shot and the Beautiful Layers dies. I stamped the striped flower overtop of the die cut image. I then stamped 3 lots of leaves in Gray Granite ink and die cut them out. I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in Gray Granite ink into the centre of the doily and started putting the card together.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the embossed Soft Sea Foam layer to a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5½“ by 3¾” and added this to the Bermuda Bay card base. I added a strip of Gray Granite cardstock 4⅛” by ⅜” to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added the doily on top using tiny pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flower was then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the leaves tucked in behind. To finish the card off I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots.

Such a soft, pretty card. I hope you like it.

Tropical Chic, fresh and simple

Posted on July 22, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a clean and simple card made using the Tropical Chic stamp set from the new Annual Catalogue.

Making the Tropical Chic card

I wanted to use shades of green for this card to keep it fresh and simple and started with a Soft Sea Foam card base. I really love this colour; it is a fantastic addition to our new colour palette.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic by Stampin’ Up! for a fresh and simple card

I die cut 3 squares from Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped a different leaf from the Tropical Chic stamp set onto each of the die cut squares using Shaded Spruce ink, Soft Sea Foam ink or Granny Apple Green ink; this has become one of my go to colour combos this summer.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic by Stampin’ Up! for a fresh and simple card

I cut a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock 5⅞” by 2” and adhered the stamped squares onto it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue taking care to leave an even border around all 3 images. I added a 5⅞” strip of Silver Foil to the bottom of the panel using the same adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the same Tropical Chic stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Everyday label Punch. I trimmed a little from the right side of the sentiment and added it beneath the stamped panel using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic by Stampin’ Up! for a fresh and simple card

The whole panel was added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the same 3 leaf images in the same 3 colours onto a panel of Whisper White 5⅜ by 3⅝” for the inside of the card and again on the front of the envelope.

This is such a clean and simple card, love it……

Thank you card made using the Rooted in Nature stamp set and Nature's Roots dies by Stampin' Up!

Rooted in Nature with Tree Rings

Posted on June 8, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card I made using the lovely new Rooted In Nature stamp set and the co-ordinating Nature’s Roots dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I inked up the large Tree Rings background stamp with Soft Suede ink, I always find in easier with the larger stamps to lay them face up on my stamping surface before inking them up and laying the cardstock on top. I used Crumb Cake cardstock 4⅜” by 3″ for this card and used a scrap piece of printer paper to lay over the top and rubbed to make sure the ink transfer evenly. I think the result looks great and adds lovely texture to the card. I mounted this panel onto a layer of Soft Suede cardstock 4½” by 3⅛”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

Taking the ‘pine tree’ stamp I placed it on a C block and inked up the tree canopy using my Granny Apple Green ink pad. I inked the trunk of the tree using a Soft Suede Marker Pen and using a Shaded Spruce Marker Pen I coloured in small areas of the tree canopy. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped it down onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3½” by 2½” and die cut it out using the Nature’s Roots Framelit Dies and my Big Shot.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I die cut a Petal Pink circle using the Layering Circle Dies. I added this to the bottom of the stamped panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and trimmed off the excess. I added the off cut piece from the Petal Pink circle to the back of the stamped panel to add a little more interest.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I added this whole panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base (love this colour) using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The tree was then added to the Petal Pink semi-circle on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Abstract Impressions stamp set in Soft Suede ink at the bottom of the card front. I am really happy with the way this card looks. Hope you like it!
