A Botanical Thinking of You card

Posted on by

As a mark of respect for the recent death of Queen Elizabeth II the theme of our latest team challenge is ‘Sympathy/Thinking of You. I have used the Botanical Layers stamp set to make a botanical thinking of you card.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the botanical thinking of you card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Basic White strip – ⅜” wide

 

Using a Blending Brush I added a little Pool Party ink to the small panel of Basic White card, to the right of centre and towards the bottom.

The inked panel was then placed, face down, onto my Scoring Tool and scored using a stylus and ¼” and ⅜” on all 4 sides to create the effect of a framed border.

I stamped the sentiment, from the Art Gallery stamp set in Starry Sky ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I didn’t want to word I’m so masked it off with Washi Tape prior to inking the stamp. I trimmed down the strip and flagged one end before adding it to the card front with the liquid glue.

A sympathy card made using ink blending and the Rotted In Nature stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Sympathy card

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a simple sympathy card made for a dear friend of mine who’s husband recently died.

To recreate this sympathy card you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base ¬- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Balmy Blue – 5¼” by 3½”
Whisper White – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

Using the Layering circle dies I die cut a circle in a piece of copy paper to act as a mask. I punched a circle using a ¾” Circle Punch and plced it in the negative space of the die cut circle. Using a piece of sponge I added Balmy Blue ink inside the circle. The mask was then removed.

I wrapped the Whisper White ¼” seam binding ribbon twice around the panel adhering it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was added to the front of the Rococo Rose card base using the same liquid adhesive.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Poppies stamp set was inked up using a Basic Black Stampin’  Write Marker as I only wanted the first three words and stamped it onto scrap Whisper White card. I used the Stitched So Sweetly dies to cut the sentiment out.

Lighthouse on a stormy sea featuring products by Stampin' Up! products

Sailing Home in stormy seas

Posted on by

I have been on a mission recently trying to use more Designer Series Paper. Like many of my friends I buy the dsp, love it, stroke it but struggle to use it………. So here is a card I came up with using dsp from the See A Silhouette pack.

To recreate the stormy sea card you will need;

Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
See A Silhouette dsp 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner for the inside
Scrap Whisper White

The lighthouse from the Sailing Home stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock. The lighthouse image was then die cut using the Smooth Sailing dies.

I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the image – Light Smoky Slate, light Balmy Blue and light So Saffron.

The sentiment from the Colorful Seasons stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the piece of designer series paper, covered with white embossing powder which was heat set using my Heat Tool – I did remember to use my embossing budding before I stamped – go me!

The DSP was glued to the larger Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This panel was then added to the front of the Night of Navy card front using the same adhesive.

I added the lighthouse to the card front on Dimensionals.

The lighthouse was stamped onto the second panel of Whisper White and glued to the inside of the card. The same image was stamped onto the envelope.

I love the stormy look that the dsp gives to this card. I hope you like it.

Thinking of you card made using the Lakeside Framelit dies

Lilypad Lake

Posted on by

Today I have been using the Lilypad Lake stamp set and co-ordinating Lakeside framelit dies to make a simple ‘thinking of you’ card.

Making the Lilypad Lake card

Thinking of you card made using the Lakeside Framelit dies

www.crafty-rootes.com – Lilypad Lake meets Graceful Glass for a thinking of you card

I really wanted to combine this stamp set with the Graceful  Glass Vellum dsp. I especially liked the piece with wavy lines which has a real watery feel. I cut a piece 5⅞” by 2” and used the following Blends Alcohol Pens to colour in the image – Dark Pool Party, Light Bermuda Bay, Light & Dark Night of Navy. This was the first time I had used Blends to colour in the vellum and I was surprised how streaky the finished image was. It did work with this watery image though.

After colouring in the vellum I added it to a piece of Whisper White cardstock exactly the same size. To do this I squeezed a little Multipurpose liquid Adhesive onto a Silicon Mat, picked up the glue with a small piece of sponge and swiped it lightly across the Whisper White panel before adhering the vellum panel to it. I added the whole piece to a Thick Whisper White card base.

Taking some scraps of Basic Black cardstock I die cut a heron and some of the clumps of leaves and tucked these in behind the raised panel adhering them with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I inked up part of the sentiment using a Night of Navy cardstock and stamped it down on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock which I then cut to size and flagged one end. It was added to the card front using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Despite the streaky look I actually quite liked this card, let me know what you think.
