Hills of Tuscany Stamp-a-Stack – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on by

Today, I am sharing the projects designed for my Hills of Tuscany Stamp-a-stack. I love, love this stamp set and couldn’t wait to share it with my crafty ladies. There is a little bit of a learning curve with this set and to help the ladies out I created a cheat sheet to help them work out what each image does. I also suggested that they use their grid paper to test drive all the images in 1st and 2nd generation ink and to starting putting images together.

A pretty lavender farm themed card made using the Hills of Tuscany stamp set - Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Hills of Italian Lavender – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on recently. I am loving the Hills of Tuscany stamp set and have used it to make a pretty water coloured card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

 To recreate the Italian lavender hills card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 3¾” by 2¾”
Basic Black card – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Fluid 100 card – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

 

Using a Spritzer, filled with water, I sprayed the piece of Fluid 100 card with enough water to make it wet.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Hills of Tuscany stamp set used to make a pretty lavender farm themed card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

The large curved image was inked in Highland Heather ink, then lightly spritzed with water before I stamped the image at the bottom of the Fluid 100 card. The colour didn’t look right and I realised the stamp had picked up a little Old Olive ink from the scrap paper the Fluid 100 was resting on – quite liked it so carried on. I stamped again in Highland Heather ink to add more ‘ground’.

The large ‘sky’ image was inked up with Azure Afternoon ink, spritzed  with water and stamped at the top of the panel, I added the small ‘cloud’ like image  using the Azure Afternoon ink in 1st & 2nd generation to add some depth. The panel was set the panel to one side to dry.

When the panel was dry, I added the more defined ‘ground’ images with 1st & 2nd generation Gorgeous Grape ink. This time I didn’t spritze with water. The dotty image was stamped to give the impression of flowers.

The house was stamped in Starry Sky ink and the roof added in Night of Navy ink. I used the Black Stampin’ Write Marker to add some definition to the windows. I managed to stamp the roof slightly squint but quite liked the effect so left it.

The group of trees were stamped in Garden Green ink. I used a Waterpainter to smear the ink on the trees – this gives a greater depth of colour. When completely dry, the finished piece was glued to the Basic Black panel, then to the 3¾” by 2¾” piece of Basic White card.

Engagement card – Celebrate Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Celebrate Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop where we are showcasing, you’ve guessed it…….. Sale-a-Bration product. I am showcasing the gorgeous Softly Stippled dsp and have used it to make a pretty card made for my niece who became engaged over Christmas.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the engagement card, you will need:

Pool Party card – 5⅜” by 4⅛”
Softly Stippled dsp – 12” by 5¼”
Basic White card 5⅛” by 3⅞”
Softly Stippled dsp – 5” by 3⅝”
Scrap Basic White & Pool Party card

 

On the long side I scored the Softly Stippled dsp at 2”, 4” 8” and 10”. On the short side I marked at 2” down on both sides and using a trimmer, cut from the 2” mark to the second score line – 4” and 8”.

Taking the 2 off cut pieces, I trimmed the point off at the 2” score line and glued the pieces to the front panels with the co-ordinating pattern uppermost. I love that you see both sides of this pretty dsp.

The sentiment, from the Stippled Rose stamp set, was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto scrap Basic White card. I die cut the sentiment using the Nested Essentials Dies. I cut 2 more labels from scrap Pool Party card, I cut one of these in half across the middle and glued the 2 halfs to the back of the stamped label with a little peeking out at the top and the bottom. The remaining Pool Party label was glued to the back of the label and the whole piece was glued to the left side of the card front.

From scrap Basic White card, I die cut 2 circles using the Everyday Details Dies. On the circle I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink.

The single rose was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the circle. I coloured the rose in using Pool Party and Wild Wheat Blends Pens. The circle was the glued to the inside panel, roughly in the centre but not visible when the card was closed.

The panel of Pool Party card was adhered to the back of the central dsp panel. This gives the card more stability. The 5” by 3⅝” piece of Softly Stippled dsp was glued to the remaining piece of Basic White card. The panel was then gled to the back of the Pool Party layer.

The remaining die cut circle was glued to the back panel of the card. This will give me a place to write a message. I also stamped a 2nd rose onto scrap Basic White card, coloured it in as before and fussy cut it out before gluing it to the card circle.

A pretty shaker card made using the hummingbird from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Hummingbird Shaker card – Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop

Posted on by

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop  where we are sharing Shaker cards. I have used the gorgeous Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and dies to make my pretty hummingbird shaker card.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the hummingbird shaker card, you will need:

Pebbled Path card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Pool Party card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Softly Stippled dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Window sheet – 3⅞” by 3⅞” – I used a cut down Clear Envelope as I couldn’t find my Window Sheet
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

Using a die from the Thoughtful Expressions I cut out a shape from the Softly Stippled dsp. From scrap Basic White card. I taped the same die to the next size up and die cut a frame from scrap Basic White card. The frame was glued to the front of the Softly Stippled dsp using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The dsp was laid over the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card and the sentiment, from the Everyday Details stamp set, was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Basic White panel, using the die cut panel to get the positioning right.

Using Tear & Tape Adhesive I adhered my square of cut down Clear Envelope to the back of the Softly Stippled dsp behind the die cut shape. I suggest you use Window Sheet……… I couldn’t find mine!

Dimensional Strips were adhered around the negative window on the back of the dsp panel. I also added strips of Adhesive around the edges of the panel to raise it up. The Dimensional strips are slightly higher then our ordinary Dimensionals.

I rubbed my Embossing Buddy over the stamped Basic White panel to remove static and added a pinch of Loose Silver Sequins over the sentiment. I also added a few aqua coloured sequins from my stash. The panel of dsp was then carefully added over the Basic White panel. I pressed firmly to make sure it was well stuck down.

The whole piece was then glued to the Pool Party layer and then to the Pebbled Path card base.

I stamped the hummingbird and single flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card and coloured both images using the following Blends Pens – Lemon Lolly, Pool Party, Smoky Slate and Pebbled Path. I die cut them out using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies.

The hummingbird was added to the card front using Mini Glue Dots. I added loops of Pool Party Baker’s Twine to the back of the flower, securing it in place with Tear & Tape. The flower was then added to the card front with Mini Glue Dots.

 

A trio of Adhesive Backed Solid Gems completed the card.

Please hop along as I am sure my crafty friends have lots of shaker cards to give you inspiration.
