Camilla’s Birthday card

Posted on June 23, 2020June 14, 2020 by Mo Rootes

It was my daughter Camilla’s birthday yesterday, she was 30………how did she get to be that old! Camilla is not a really girlie girl, loves the outdoors, climbing, diving, walking etc so I made her a cute card based around these things.

To recreate Camilla’s birthday card you will need:

Crumb Cake card stock – 11” by 4⅛” – scored on the longside at 5½”
Crumb Cake card stock – 11” by 1” – scored on the longside at 2¾”, 5½” & 8¼”
In Good Taste dsp – 5¼” by 3⅞” x 4
Shaded Spruce – 4 ¾” by 3⅜” x 2
Shaded Spruce – 3⅜” by 2½” x 4
Whisper White – 4½” by 3⅛” x 2
Whisper White – 3⅛ by 2¼” x 4
Scrap Early Espresso and Gold Foil

I began by using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the 4 panels of dsp to the 4 sides of the large Crumb Cake panel. This forms the main structure of the card. I added the 2 large Shaded Spruce panels to the front and back of the card using the same glue.

I added the 1”strip of Crumb Cake card stock to the inside panels using liquid glue. The glue was only added to the 2 end pieces.

The front panel of the card was created using one of the larger panels of Whisper White and the Mountain Air stamp set. I love this set, it is so versatile. I stamped with Crumb Cake ink, Shaded Spruce ink, Mossy Meadow ink and Pool Party ink. The sky was sponged in using the Balmy Blue ink and the moon was masked using a ¾” circle punched from a Post It Note. The stamped panel was glued to one of large Shaded Spruce panels and added to the card front using the same liquid adhesive.

I took one of the smaller Whisper White and stamped the lighthouse from the Sailing Home stamp set in Crumb Cake ink. The sky was sponged in Balmy Blue and I sponged a little Crumb Cake around the base of the light house. The panel was added to one of the small Shaded Spruce panel and added to the left hand inside panel.

The 2^nd Whisper White panel was stamped using the Do The Impossible stamp set which has sadly retired. I stamped the runners again onto a Post It Note, trimmed it out using sharp scissors and used it to masked off the runners. I then stamped the mountains, trees and water using the Mountain Air stamp set. The runners were coloured using using Highland Heather, Mossy Meadow, Pool Party, Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Ivory & Bronze Blends markers. The stamped layer was then glued to small Shaded Spruce panel then to the inside of the card.

For the 3^rd panel I used the Mountain Air stamp set again, adhered the stamped panel to the Shaded Spruce panel then to the right side of the card.

The 4^th and final inner panel was sponged using Balmy Blue ink. The sentiment from the Family Party stamp set was stamped in Early Espresso ink. Using the World dies I cut the globe from scrap Early Espresso card and the stand from Gold Foil and added them to the sponged base. This was adhered to the last Shaded Spruce panel and then to the card base.

The remaining large Whisper White panel was adhered to the last Shaded Spruce panel and glued to the back of the card giving somewhere to write a message.

I really hope Camilla likes her card.

Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

Posted on May 8, 2020May 5, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the May Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where our theme is ‘Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 Catalogue’. If you have joined me from the lovely Libby Dyson, I am sure you loved her project.

There are so many lovely things which are retiring that I was spoilt for choice. In fact everything I have used will be retiring from the catalogue with the exception of the Whisper White card stock!

To recreate the Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 Catalogue card you will need:

Grapefruit Grove card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Blueberry Bushel – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside
Blueberry Bushel – 5” by 1⅛”
Whisper White – 5” by 1”

I began by stamping the sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink. I love the size and the font of this Happy Birthday, I will miss it. I placed the stamped sentiment strip at an angle onto one of the larger Whisper White panels and lightly drew down each side in pencil to give me a guide to where I should stamp my flowers.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop theme is Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

I removed the sentiment piece and glued it to the thin strip of Blueberry Bushel card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it to one side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop theme is Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

With this type of masked card I also start by stamping the largest images and working may way down to the smallest images which I use to fill in. I used the 5 retiring 2018 – 2020 In Colors to stamp my images – they were stamped in this order Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick, Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel. I used the gorgeous Beautiful Bouquet set for this part of the card. I am so going to miss this set, love all the flowers and the huge number of great sentiments.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop theme is Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

The stamped layer was then added to the Blueberry Bushel layer with the same liquid adhesive. The whole panel was then added to the Grapefruit Grove card base with the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop theme is Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue
