Pine Trees for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on November 28, 2022November 16, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing Holiday themed cards. Mine was made using the gorgeous Wisteria Wishes stamps set and some ink blending.

The colours used in this project are:

Basic White

Pool Party

Shaded Spruce

To recreate the pine trees card, you will need:

Shaded Spruce card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White and Shaded Spruce

I tore a piece of copy paper from side to side to give some hills and hollows. I placed the copy paper on to the smaller panel of Basic White and used a Blending Brush to add ink along the edge.

The pine trees – actually the wisteria blossoms, were then stamped whilst the copy paper was still in place. I moved the copy paper and repeated the steps multiple times to cover the panel. The effect is of trees in banks of snow.

The stamped panel was then added to the Pool Party layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the panel securing it on the reverse with Sellotape. The panel was added to the Shaded Spruce card front on Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamps set onto scrap Basic White card in Shaded Spruce ink. The sentiment was die cut using the Beautiful Shapes Dies. The sentiment was adhered to a slightly larger hexagon die cut from Shaded Spruce card.

The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals. A bow was added with a Mini Glue Dot and a trio of Iridescent Rhinestones finished the card.

Basket of Blooms card

Posted on October 2, 2022September 21, 2022 by Mo Rootes

I love combining elements from different stamp sets to create something new and different and have created a basket of blooms using the Cheerful Basket stamp set and Wisteria Wishes stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the basket of blooms stamp set, you will need:

Pale Papaya card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Sweet Sorbet card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White& Old Olive card

I saw a Youtube video a while ago showing how to colour using ordinary colouring pencils with Vaseline which helps them to blend. I wondered if it would work with our Watercolor pencils and thought I would give it a go.

The basket from the Cheerful Basket stamp set was stamped in Sahara Sand ink and used the Early Espresso and Cajun Craze watercolor pencils to add colour to the basket. I dipped the tip of the pencil into a small pot of Vaseline before applying the colour, dipping again as needed. The colour went on really smoothly and I was able to get a really rich colour by building up the layers. The basket was die cut using the Full Basket dies.
