The inked panel was adhered to the Early Espresso panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped Linen thread around the panel three times before adding the panel to the Calypso Coral card base on Dimensionals.

Using the Tailor Made Tag dies and my Mini Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut a label from the centre of the stamped panel. I glued the negative stamped piece to the Pool Party panel with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Petal Pink card front with the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty anniversary card made using the Shaded Summer stamp set and the spotlight technique

I used Petal Pink, Pool Party, So Saffron and Smoky Slate Blends Alcohol Markers to colour in the flowers and leaves on the die cut tag. A hole re-enforcer was added to the top of the tag and a length of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon fed through the hole and trimmed with scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty anniversary card made using the Shaded Summer stamp set and the spotlight technique

I ran a strip of Seal + adhesive down the centre of the negative space and added a strip of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon, weaving it back and forth. The coloured label was then added on Dimensionals over top and slightly off set so that we see a peek of Pool Party card.

The sentiment from the Many Messages stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto a scrap piece of Early Espresso using the Stamparatus. I covered it in White Embossing powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. It was then die cut using the Messages Die.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty anniversary card made using the Shaded Summer stamp set and the spotlight technique

Ornate Poppy

Posted on May 29, 2020May 21, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Here is a sweet Ornate Poppy card I made to celebrate the wedding anniversary of my friends Lyndsay and Richard. Lyndsay should recognise the poppy as I made a number of them when I was last with her. They were inspired by a lovely card made by Su Mohr which I found on Pinterest.

To recreate the Ornate Poppy card you will need:

Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Early Espresso – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Scrap Whisper White, Early Espresso & Mossy Meadow

I ran the smaller Early Espresso layer through the Big Shot inside the Ornate Floral Embossing Powder. This folder is gorgeous and gives so much texture to the card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

I wrapped a piece of the Petal Pink Organdie Stripped Ribbon around the embossed panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape. This panel was glued to the Petal Pink card base using Snail Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

I took the ‘smudge’ stamp, from the Painted Poppies stamp set inked it up with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamped it randomly a scrap piece of Whisper White. This step was repeated using So Saffron ink and Petal Pink ink until the whole layer was covered in ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -An annivesary card made using the painted poppies bundle and the ornate floral embossing folder

Using the Poppy Moments dies I die cut the detailed flower from the stamped panel. I die cut the same image and the full blank flower from Whisper White card stock. I mounted the patterned die cut flower outline onto the White flower blank with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and carefully fitted in the white die cut pieces. Doesn’t the flower look fab……..I love bit of paper piecing. I die cut a flower centre from scrap Early Espresso card and added it to the centre of the flower using the liquid glue.

I punched a leaf from scrap Mossy Meadow card using the Leaf Punch – so sad this is retiring, and added it to the back of the poppy using Snail Adhesive. The poppy was added over the ribbon on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set, another set I will miss, was stamped using Early Espresso ink, die cut using one of the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I added it to the card front with Snail Adhesive. To complete the card I added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins, yet another thing I will really miss…..

I hope Lyndsay and Richard like the card.

Cup of …………Anniversary?

Posted on September 14, 2019September 4, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the September Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘ any stamp set or dsp’. If you have come from the lovely Sandra Herzog I am sure you loved her project. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes from near Cambridge in the Uk. I hope you like what I am sharing today.

I don’t know about you but I love a set that can be used for more than one sort of occasion and as soon as I saw the Cup of Christmas stamp set in the Autumn/Winter catalogue I knew it would make a fantastic anniversary card.

To Recreate the Cup of…..Anniversary card you will need:

So Saffron card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Bermuda Bay cardstock – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Whisper White cardstock

I began by stamping the 2 cups, one in Flirty Flamingo ink and the other in Bermuda Bay ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and die cut them out using the co-ordinating Cup of Cheer dies.

I placed them on one of the Whisper White panels for placement and added a Pearlised Doily.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty anniversary card made using the Cup of Christmas stamp set

At this point I wasn’t happy, I knew the card needed something else but I couldn’t decide what!!! Don’t you hate when that happens…….. I tried a couple of embossing folders but felt they over-powered the cups. I tried a coloured circle instead of the doily…….wasn’t happy with that either.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty anniversary card made using the Cup of Christmas stamp set

At this point I reached across my desk for my catalogue, seeking inspiration and accidently pulled out the pack of Basic Pattern Decorative Masks along with the catalogue. Light bulb moment right there!

I used a Sponge Dauber and So Saffron ink to colour through the mask and it was perfect, just what I was looking for.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty anniversary card made using the Cup of Christmas stamp set

The sponged panel was mounted onto the Bermuda Bay layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To add a bit more texture to the card front I added some of the gorgeous Polka Dot Tuille Ribbon and tucked the Pearlised Doily underneath. The panel was then added to the So Saffron card base with the same adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty anniversary card made using the Cup of Christmas stamp set

The sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink and the cups placed on top of the doily, the striped cup with the same liquid glue and the spotty cup on Dimensionals. I added a Polka Dot Tuille bow and a trio of Iridescent Sequins to complete the card front.
