Let’s Set Sail for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on January 31, 2022January 31, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a colour challenge. The colours we have been given are:

To recreate the Let’s Set Sail card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4¼” by 2¼”
Scrap Basic White card

Using the Tailor-Made Tag Dies I cut a tag from the panel of Basic White card. I stamped the long ‘water’ image at the bottom of the tag in 2^nd generation Coastal Cabana ink.

The ‘sky’ was added with a Blending Brush and the clouds with a Sponge Dauber and a piece of torn copy paper and Coastal Cabana ink. I added birds to the top of the tag using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the parts of the sailboat in Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo and Highland Heather ink and punched them out with the Sailboat Builder Punch. This gave me pieces for 3 boats. The boat was added on Mini Dimensionals.

The ‘water’ image was stamped at the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front in 3^rd and 4^th generation Coastal Cabana ink. The birds were stamped again at the top of the card front in the Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I added some Pool Party Sheer Ribbon to the top of the tag and a bow made from White Baker’s Twine. The tag was added to the card front on Dimensionals and I added a trio of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels to finish the card.

The sentiment, from the Awesome Otters stamp set was stamped in Coastal Cabana ink onto a scrap of Basic White paper and fussy cut out. I added it tucked under the tag.

I really like the card, I hope you like it too.

Vintage Harvest for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on January 11, 2022January 11, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects with a vintage theme. I have to say ‘vintage’ is way out of my comfort zone so this was quite a challenge for me.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the vintage harvest card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Very Vanilla card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Blushing Bride card – 5¼” by 3½”
Very Vanilla card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Very Vanilla, Blushing Bride, Soft Suede & Early Espresso

Using one of the images from the Natural Textures stamp set, I stamped all over the panel of Blushing Bride in Blushing Bride ink to give a subtle texture. I then tore down the right side of the panel. I used a Dauber to Crumb Cake ink around the edge of the piece.

I tore the edge of the smaller Very Vanilla piece and inked along the torn edge with the same ink.

A rustic, vintage style card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I wrapped a length of Lace Trim around the Blushing Bride panel and added it to the Very Vanilla piece. The whole panel was added to the Crumb Cake card base. I inked around that as well with the Crumb Cake ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Using the Harvest Dies, I die cut the stems and flowers from scrap Soft Suede and Early Espresso card. I though the flowerhead was too dark so die cut it again from Blushing Bride and Very Vanilla card……….couldn’t make my mind up which I would like better. I used the speckle image from the Daffodil Daydream stamp set to stamp on the potential flowerheads with Soft Suede ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The Soft Suede stems were added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the Early Espresso stems with Mini Dimensionals. I added the Blushing Bride flowerhead, then decided I liked the Very Vanilla so I added it on top, on Dimensionals, but slightly offset so that you see both. How’s that for indecision……….

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Harvest Dies used to make a pretty vintage style card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink on scrap Very Vanilla card and die cut using a label from the Harvest dies. It was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

A bow made from the Lace Trim and a scattering of Brushed Metallic Dots completed the card.
