Graceful card stamp set by Stampin' Up! for a lovely rose themed girlie card

Graceful Garden used for the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop

Posted on April 13, 2019April 12, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the April Stamp ‘n Hop blog hop which this month is focusing on girlie cards. If you have joined me from the lovely Laura I am sure you loved the project she shared with us. For my card today I have chosen to use the Graceful Garden stamp set, after all what girl doesn’t love a rose.

Making the Graceful Garden card

You will need;
Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” – scored at 4⅛” and with an 1” cut off the left hand front panel.
Granny Apple Green – 5½” by 2⅞” – round the upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2¾” – round the upper left corner
Wood Textures dsp – 5⅞” by ¾”

I began by stamping the large rose image onto the Whisper White panel using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I rounded the upper right corner of the panel with the Detailed Trio Punch and set it to one side to allow the ink to dry.

When the image had dried I coloured it in using the following Blends Pens – Granny Apple Green combo and Poppy Parade combo. This is such a lovely image to colour.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink. This panel was then added to the Granny Apple Green panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Detailed Trio Punch I punched the upper right corner of the narrower card front panel and adhered the stamped panel to it using Dimensionals.

I glued a strip of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper (dsp) to the back panel of the card front with the same Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Finally I added a trio of Red Rhinestones to the card front and stamped the rose in Granny Apple Green ink onto the Envelope.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A birthday card made using the Bloom by Bloom stamp set for the Stampers Showcase blog hop

I chose the Bloom by Bloom stamp set to make my birthday card. I love the1960’s -70’s vibe of this stamp set but have been desperate to try it with more fresh ‘Spring’ colours and as I had some ¼” strips of Granny Apple Green, So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo cardstock left from another project and decided to use these as my jumping off point.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A birthday card made using the Bloom by Bloom stamp set for the Stampers Showcase blog hop

I stamped the stem and leaf in Granny Apple Green onto a Whisper White Stitched Rectangle. The flower was added in Flirty Flamingo ink and the dots were stamped in So saffron ink. The stamped rectangle was added to the layer of Granny Apple Green cardstock with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A birthday card made using the Bloom by Bloom stamp set for the Stampers Showcase blog hop

I adhered a ¼” strip of Granny Apple Green, So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo cardstock to the Whisper White layer and trimmed them to fit using my scissors. This panel was then added to the layer of Flirty Flamingo cardstock before adding the whole piece to the front of a So saffron card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A birthday card made using the Bloom by Bloom stamp set for the Stampers Showcase blog hop

I laid the stamped piece onto the card front and felt it needed a little something extra. After a bit of thought I stamped a scatter of tiny flowers from the stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink.

The rectangle panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals and a scattering of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls added a little hint of luxury.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A birthday card made using the Bloom by Bloom stamp set for the Stampers Showcase blog hop

The tiny flowers were stamped on the envelope and the inside Whisper White panel and glued inside the card.

I love the fresh colour combo. I hope you like it.

A Peter Rabbit Easter card for the Stamp 'n Hop blog hop challenge

Fable Friends Easter Stamp ‘n Hop

Posted on March 8, 2019March 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to this month’s Stamp ‘n hop Blog Hop where the theme is Easter. If you have joined me from the lovely Sandra then welcome, my name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. I hope you enjoy my project.

Making the Easter card

I started by taking a piece of Window Sheet about 5 ½” by 3 ¾” and ran it through the Big Shot with the large die from the Doily Builder Die set. This effectively created a stencil for me to use to make the background of the card.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘n Hop Easter Challenge using Fable Friends

I laid the stencil onto a piece of Whisper White measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜” and holding it firmly in place I inked it up using So Saffron, Flirty Flamingo and Grapefruit Grove inks applied using Sponge Daubers. I rounded the upper right corner using the Detailed Trio Punch and added the inked piece to a panel of So Saffron cardstock with the same corner rounded using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘n Hop Easter Challenge using Fable Friends

I then stamped the cute little Peter Rabbit image in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap piece of Watercolor Paper and die cut it out using the Stitched Shapes framelits and my Big Shot. I used Crumb Cake, So Saffron and Flirty Flamingo inks and an Aqua Painter to paint the rabbit.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘n Hop Easter Challenge using Fable Friends

I used the Layering Oval dies to cut a scalloped oval and added it to the back of the stamped piece using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of Grapefruit Grove Grosgrain Ribbon around the inked panel and secured it on the back with Sellotape.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘n Hop Easter Challenge using Fable Friends

The oval topper piece was added to the panel, over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a bow of the same ribbon added with a Mini Glue Dot. The sentiment was added to the card front with Flirty Flamingo ink. The whole panel was then added to a Crumb Cake card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I finished off by adding a trio of Share What You love Artisan Pearls.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘n Hop Easter Challenge using Fable Friends

I used the stencil and inks in the same way to decorate a piece of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhered it to the inside of the card. I used the same technique to colour the front of the envelope.

Such a pretty card, I hope you like it. Please hop on the see what Jenna has to share with us.

A sweet card made using the Piece of Cake stamp set and co-ordinating Cake Builder Punch

Wedding Cake for the Stampin ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on February 8, 2019February 8, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to February’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where this month’s theme is Love. If you have hopped over form Andre Gordon’s blog I am sure you loved his gorgeous project. I decided to use the gorgeous Piece of Cake stamp set and co-ordinating Cake Builder Punch to make a wedding cake card for the daughter of a friend who is marrying in the spring.

Making the card

I started by stamping the floral cake image, so pretty, in Early Espresso ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Cake Builder Punch. I coloured the flowers in using the Lovely Lipstick Combo Blends Pens, Call Me Clover Combo Blends Pens, dark Balmy Blue blend Pen and the Light Daffodil Delight Blend Pen.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Piece of cake stamp set used for the Love themed Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I punched the cake stand out from some of the gorgeous Lovely Lipstick Foil which is one of the free Sale-a-Bration items you can choose with a £45 order. I stuck the cake to the stand with a dimensional where they joined at the back and added a couple more dimensionals to support the cake and stand.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Piece of cake stamp set used for the Love themed Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4¾” by 3”. I mounted the smaller of the 2 Bokeh Dot stamps from the Beauty Abounds stamp set. I inked it up in Lovely Lipstick ink, stamped off twice and stamped it onto the lower right hand corner of the panel. I repeated this twice more before inked up with Call Me Clover then Balmy Blue stamping each off twice.

I stamped the sentiment from the Piece of Cake stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink in the lower left hand corner. The cake and stand was then added over the bokeh dots on the dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Piece of cake stamp set used for the Love themed Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

The Whisper White stamped layer was the added to a piece of Lovely Lipstick Foil 5” by 1½” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a length of Lovely Lipstick ⅛” Grosgrain Ribbon around the top of the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. I added a bow made from the same ribbon with a Mini Glue Dot. The whole panel was then added to a Thick Whisper White card base with Dimensionals.

I coloured in 3 Basic Pearls using the dark Call Me Clover, dark Lovely lipstick and dark Balmy Blue Blends Pen before scattering them around the cake and stand.

I love this card, such pretty colours. I hope you like it..

Jan 2019 Stamp 'N Hop blog hop using the Lovely Lattice stamp set

Lovely Lattice used for the Stamp’N Hop blog hop

Posted on January 11, 2019January 11, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to January’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where this month’s theme is Sale-a-Bration. I love, love, love Sale-a-Bration……free stuff….oh yes bring it on and such great stuff as well.

If you have hopped over from Vicki Hunter I am sure you enjoyed the project she shared as much as I did. After a lot of deliberation I have chosen to use the stunning stamp set called Lovely Lattice to make my card as I love the versatility of this set.

Making the card

I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper measuring 5¼” by 3½” and stamped the large gorgeous image from the Lovely Lattice stamp set in Versamark ink and yes I did remember to use my embossing buddy, whoop whoop. I covered the panel with White embossing powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Lovely Lattice stamp set used for the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop

I wanted to watercolor this image and find the easiest way to do this is to use my ink pad to press some ink onto a clear block and colour with an Aquapainter. I used Coastal Cabana for the flowers, starting with a light touch and adding more layers of colour to give depth and dimension. The flower centres were coloured using So Saffron ink and Granny Apple Green was used for the leaves. I added Smoky Slate around the whole image to ground it and also coloured the lattice area with the Smoky Slate again adding depth by layering up the colour.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Lovely Lattice stamp set used for the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop

The sentiment from the Amazing life stamp set was stamped in Versamark onto a scrap of Basic Gray cardstock, covered in White embossing powder and heat set with my Heat Tool.

I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the upper left and lower right corner of the stamped layer and a layer of So Saffron measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and a layer of Coastal Cabana measuring 5⅝” by 3⅞” and adhered the layers together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Lovely Lattice stamp set used for the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop

The finished topper was then added to a Smoky Slate card base and the sentiment was added using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To finish the card I added a scatter of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

I absolutely love this card, the soft colours work so well with this image. Please hop along to see what the lovely Susan Simpson is sharing with us today.

Bloom by Bloom

Posted on December 14, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to December’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where the theme this month is our favourite from the upcoming Spring/Summer catalogue. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. I have chosen to use the stunning stamp set called Bloom by Bloom to make my card. I love all the bold floral images in this set and chose to stamp with some bright Spring like colours.

Making the card

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4⅞” by 3½”. I die cut a circle from the Layering Circles Framelit Dies, placed it on the Whisper White layer partially hanging off and lightly drew round it to help with the placement of the flowers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bloom By Bloom stamp set used for the December Stamp ‘N hop blog hop

I stamped the leaves and flowers starting with the largest images and ending with the smallest one which were used to infill. I used Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana & Blueberry Bushel inks for the stamping. I added the stamped panel to a Flirty Flamingo panel 4” by 3⅝” having rounded the upper left corner of both panels. I erased the light pencil drawn circle.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bloom By Bloom stamp set used for the December Stamp ‘N hop blog hop

I stamped the sentiment from the Amazing Life stamp set in Granny Apple Green onto the die cut Whisper White circle. I used a couple of the small flowers to decorate the circle before adding it to a slightly larger Blueberry Bushel scalloped circle die cut using the same die set. I trimmed off the right side of the circle with my Trimmer and added it to the stamped layer on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bloom By Bloom stamp set used for the December Stamp ‘N hop blog hop

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and placed a large scrap of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and tilted it at an angle until it looked right, I turned the card over and trimmed off the excess. The Blueberry Bushel was then added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the stamped panel added on top with the same glue. To finish off the card I added a scattering of Basic Rhinestones.

Such a pretty card, I am really happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it.

www.crafty-rootes.com – stamp ‘n hop blog hop

Hello and welcome to November’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. If you have hopped on from Karen Watts I am sure you enjoyed her project. This month we are CASEing (either copy and share everything or copy and selectively edit) the Annual Catalogue and I had such a hard job choosing a project to make. In the end I went for a sweet card using the Apron of Love stamp set on page 61 of the catalogue but changed it up a little.

Apron of Love card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Apron of Love for the November Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I started by stamping the apron image in Soft Sea Foam ink onto Soft Sea Foam cardstock and die cutting it using the Apron Builder dies. I also die cut the neck band, apron strings and pocket form the Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I adhered them together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Apron of Love for the November Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I then stamped some of the smaller images from the set randomly across the front of a Thick Whisper White card base in Highland Heather ink, Flirty Flamingo ink and Coastal Cabana ink. I die cut the hearts in Flirty Flamingo cardstock, the scissors in Highland Heather cardstock and the sweet little bows in Coastal Cabana cardstock.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Apron of Love for the November Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I added the die cuts to the card front with Multipurpose liquid adhesive and added the apron over the top with Stampin’ Dimensionals

Stamp ‘N Hop – Garden Impressions

Posted on July 13, 2018July 12, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to this month’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop, if you have hopped over from Jenn Charles I am sure you love her gorgeous projects. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK and you are very welcome to my blog where the theme of this month’s hop is our favourite new Designer Series Paper (dsp). I love dsp but have struggled in the past to cut into it……..it is so pretty…….what’s a girl to do!

However, since I began offering my ladies a regular Stamp-a-Stack option with projects based around a pack of dsp, I have had to start cutting into my lovely stash and I am so happy I did. I love the dimension these gorgeous papers add to the cards I design and my ladies also love them.

For today’s projects I have chosen to use the vibrant and so summery Garden Impressions dsp . I love the bright and cheerful floral patterns in this pack.

The card

www.crafty-rootes.com - Stamp 'N Hop using the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘N Hop Garden Impressions

For my card today I chose one of my favourite papers and cut a panel of dsp measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I adhered it to a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Multipurpose adhesive. This panel was then added to the front of a So saffron card base using the same adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘N Hop Garden Impressions

Taking a strip of So Saffron cardstock 5⅞” by ¼”and a Night of Navy ink pad and stamped the sentiment, chosen from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set all the way across. This strip was then adhered to the card front using the Multipurpose liquid adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘N Hop Garden Impressions

I die cut a gorgeous dragonfly from Whisper White cardstock using my Big shot and the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits. Using my Bone Folder I curled the wings to give some dimension to the card and adhered it to the card front using 3 Mini Glue Dots on the body. To give a little sparkle I added 2 gold Faceted Dots to the dragonfly body.

The Envelope Punch Board Treat Box

I then made a small box to match using my Envelope Punch Board. I started with a 6” by 6” piece of dsp and punched and scored it at 3½” and 3¼” then rotated the dsp 90⁰ and lined up the pointer with the score lines punching and scoring all the way around.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘N Hop Garden Impressions

I cut up each of the 4 small tabs using my sharp Paper Snips, taking a small wedge from each side to ensure that the box would close neatly. After folding and burnishing all the score lines with my Bone Folder I applied a glue dot to 2 of the tabs and folded them in to close the sides and back of the box. I will close the top flap with a glue dot when I have added my gift.

I die cut another dragonfly from Whisper White cardstock using the Detailed dragonfly Thinlit dies and added it to the front of the box using Mini Glue Dots. I stamped the same sentiment onto a small strip of So saffron cardstock in Night of Navy ink and tucked it under the dragonfly body after flagging one end. I added 2 Facet Dots to the dragonfly body and the project was finished.

I love the simplicity of both these designs. Hope you like them.

Lovely floral card featuring Sale-a-Bration product by Stampin' Up!

Eclectic Expression Flowers – Stamp ‘N Hop

Posted on March 10, 2018March 10, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Welcome, this month for the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop (try saying that fast when you are tired) we are focusing on the gorgeous items in the 2^nd Sale-a-Bration release. Don’t you just love the chance to earn more amazing free goodies, I know I do.

I have chosen to use the Eclectic Expression stamp set for today’s blog hop. I have to admit this stamp set was not the first item I saw when I opened the brochure. It isn’t as flashy and obvious as the other options but I have come to love these more abstract sets. With a set like this I usually stamp everything out just to see what the images look like and how they relate to each other and here is what I came up with.

Method in my madness

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2¼” and stamped the small spotted circle randomly leaving large gaps between each circle. I initially stamped in Pear Pizzazz ink but ended up changing this to Tranquil Tide. Taking the smaller of the ‘splotchy’ images I stamped around 2 of the spotty circles to form flower petals, slightly overlapping looks better. I repeat this using Daffodil Delight ink then Peakaboo Peach ink rotating the stamp to give the flowers a different look. Having decided I didn’t like the Pear Pizzazz I stamped the spotty circle again in Tranquil Tide ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched them out using the ½” Circle Punch. I added these to the centre of each flower using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Eclectic Expression by Stampin’ Up!

I mounted the stamped panel onto a layer of Calypso Coral cardstock 5⅞” by 2 ½” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I planned to add this panel to a Thick Whisper White card base but felt there was something missing. After a bit of faffing I took a strip of Daffodil Delight cardstock 5⅞” by ½”, punched it out using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and added it to the right side using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added the whole panel to the Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Eclectic Expression by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the sentiment from the Badges & Banners Stamp set in Tranquil Tide ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Duet Banner Punch. I used the same punch to punch a piece of Tranquil Tide cardstock which I added to the back to give a shadow effect. I added this to the card front using Tombow on the right and a Stampin’ Dimensional on the left. A scattering of Iridescent Sequins finished added a little sparkle to the card.

Picnic With You card designed by Mo Rootes

Stamp ‘N Hop for a Spring Picnic With You

Posted on February 10, 2018February 9, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop! My name is Maureen but most people, other than my Mother call me Mo and I live just outside Cambridge in the UK. The theme of this month’s hop is a favourite item from the Occasions catalogue which is available until 31 May 2018. Decisions, decisions what to choose, the new catalogue is packed with fab things……..hmm………in the end I chose the Picnic For You stamp set and co-ordinating Picnic Basket Builder dies. I am ssoooo… ready for Spring and I love a picnic, so a perfect choice.

Picnic With You Card – Method and Supplies

I started by stamping the basket from the Picnic With You stamp set in Soft Suede ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the loaves in 1^st and 2^nd generation Soft Suede ink then the outline cupcakes using the same ink. The icing for the cupcakes was added in Berry Burst ink. The cute little bottle was stamped in Night of Navy ink. I stamped the apples in Pear Pizzazz ink and added a touch of Berry Burst ink to one side with a Sponge Dauber. The checked cloth was stamped in Berry Burst ink and everything was then die cut using the Picnic Basket Builder dies and the Big Shot.

Taking a piece of the Color Theory dsp 5¼” by 3½” I added ½ a Delicate Doily towards the bottom and stuck all the die cut elements using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The basket was added on top on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the checked cloth glued on with Tombow. The basket looked lovely and full.

I added a panel of Soft Suede cardstock 5” by 2¼” behind the upper left hand corner of the dsp before adding the whole piece to a Thick Whisper White card base. The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and trimmed out with Scissors. I felt the sentiment needed a pop of colour so added a small piece of Berry Burst cardstock punched with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch. Perfect………looks good enough to eat.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and please hop around all the other blogs to see what my talented fellow demonstrators have designed, enjoy. Next up is the lovely Laurie Meier so hop on to see what she has to share today, or go back to look at the project shared by the talented Kat Spencer.
