www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The beautiful Joyful Flurry stamp set and Frosted Flurry Dies used to make 3 cards for the November classes

We used the Stamparatus to stamp each of the snowflakes to create the wreath.

Each snowflake was stamped 4 times, rotating the panel of Basic White card 45° between each stamping. I created a template for making the wreath using Square Dies and some window sheet.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Orchid Oasis and then to the Parakeet Party card base.

We added a Wonderful Snowflake and the sentiment which was embossed in white on the strip of Orchid Oasis card.

Card 2 – Brushed Background card

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Orchid Oasis card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner

We stamped the snowflakes down the left side of the Basic White panel, starting with the largest. We wrapped the ribbon around the panel before sticking it to the Tahitian Tide Layer. The whole piece was then added to the Orchid Oasis card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto the Basic White circle and the scalloped circle added behind. A bow and a scattering Iridescent Rhinestones completed the card.

We ran one of the Basic White panels through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. A length of Pool Party Ribbon was wrapped around the layer before it was glued to the Old Olive card front.

We added Pool Party ink to the die cut Circle using a Blending Brush. Two trees were then stamped onto the circle, the solid background in Garden Green and the detailed image in Evening Evergreen. The circle was then adhered to the card front.

The large and small trees were die cut from scrap Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Garden Green & Evening Evergreen card. They were glued together and added to the card front n Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto a strip of Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink. We trimmed it down and flagged the ends with scissors. It was then added to the card front.

Using Blending Brushes, we added Pool Party ink and Pear Pizzazz ink to the die cut circle.

The large tree was the stamped in Garden Green (solid background) and Evening Evergreen for the more detailed image. The smaller trees were stamped in Pear Pizzazz and either Mossy Meadow or Evening Evergreen. The stamped circle was then glued to the Garden Green scalloped circle and mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

We stamped the sign in Crumb Cake ink and trimmed it out with scissors before adding it to the card front. We die cut 3 stars from scrap So Saffron card and added them to the trees. A trio of Basic Rhinestones completed the card.

I had prepared a negative circle mask ahead of class which we adhered to the smaller panel of Basic White. We then used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the negative space, peeled the masking paper off and voila…… a soft, blue circle.

The large tree was stamped in the centre of the circle in Garden Green and Evening Evergreen ink and a smaller tree added on each side in Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow.

The greeting was stamped below in Evening Evergreen ink and the panel glued to the Garden Green layer.

The whole piece was then added to the Pool Party card base on Dimensionals and a trio of Iridescent Pearls completed the card.

Christmas Pinecones Classes

Posted on November 12, 2021November 11, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the cards made for my November classes featuring the gorgeous Christmas Pinecones Dies. I don’t know about you, but I looked at the large intricate dies and wondered how I could use them ….. other then the obvious – die cut, add to the card front and slap a sentiment in the middle. I wanted to show my ladies the versatility of cutting the die cut piece apart.

Colours used in this project are:

The first thing we did was to die cut the large detailed foliage die from a ¼ sheet of Garden Green card. This is the piece that we cut apart and used on all our cards.

We always start with the fiddliest, most complicated card first, the idea being that we get this over while we are still concentrating!!

We embossed panel the narrow Garden Green panel using the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine and one of the Wintry 3D Embossing Folders and added it to the smaller front flap of the Soft Succulent card base. The Gold Foil strip was then butted up to it.

We used either the pinecone or sprig to decorate the large Basic White panel and glued it to the inside of the card

We added glue to the left-hand side of the Crumb Cake scalloped rectangle – which I had cut ahead of time using the Scalloped Contour Dies, and added it to the left flap of the card base.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped in Garden Green onto the white card, die cut using one of the labels from the Seasonal Labels dies and add to the Crumb Cake panel on Dimensionals.

The detailed pinecone (gold) and Soft Suede pinecone base – cut by me ahead of time using the Seasonal Labels Dies, were glued together then and added to the label front with glue and/or dimensionals.

We then snipped apart the foliage from the large die cut and tucked sprigs behind the pinecones.

We embossed the Soft Succulent panel as above and added the panel to the smaller Basic White layer and added the strip of Gold Foil to the side. This piece was then mounted on the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped on the label, which I had die cut ahead of time and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We assembled the die cut pinecones and added then with sprigs of foliage behind the label.

The sentiment was stamped on the previously die cut label and added to the card front on Dimensionals.

We assembled the die cut pinecones and added then with sprigs of foliage onto the top of the label.

Evergreen Christmas Tree card

Posted on August 27, 2021July 22, 2021 by Mo Rootes

I really love Christmas and Christmas crafting and am sharing an evergreen Christmas tree card made using the Evergreen Elegance stamp set paired with the Natural Textiles stamp set and Scalloped Contour Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the evergreen Christmas tree card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce card – 5⅞” by 3”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic Gray card – 2” by 1¼”

I inked up one of the gorgeous background stamps from the Natural Textiles stamp set in Smoky Slate ink. I stamped off twice before stamping the image down the left and right side of the Smoky Slate card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous evergreen trees Christmas card made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop and using Sale-a-Bration product

I inked the same stamp again with the same ink, stamped off once then stamped onto the strip of Basic White card. I repeated this 3 times covering the whole panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous evergreen trees Christmas card made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop and using Sale-a-Bration product

Using the tall tree, I stamped in Shaded Spruce onto the bottom of the stamped strip in 1^st and 2^nd generation ink. This step was repeated to fill up the bottom of the panel.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I cut the scalloped border using the Shaded Spruce card and added it behind the stamped layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A gorgeous evergreen trees Christmas card made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop and using Sale-a-Bration product

I wrapped a piece of Silver Mesh Ribbon around the panel and tied it in a bow, securing the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

The sentiment from the For Unto Us stamp set (so happy this set has returned) was stamped in Versamark ink onto the small piece of Basic Gray card, covered in White Embossing Powder and heat set using a Heat Tool. I used a Tailor-Made Tag Die to cut out the sentiment, I actually shorted the die cut as it was too long, and added it under the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

Rainbow Snowflakes for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop

Posted on July 10, 2021July 11, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where we are celebrating Christmas in July. I have made a rainbow snowflake card made using the Snowflake Wishes stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the rainbow snowflake card, you will need:

Fresh Freesia card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Misty Moonlight card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside

I started by randomly stamping the largest snowflake in Soft Sea Foam ink across one of the Basic White panels. I added the group of snowflakes in Balmy Blue ink.

The next size snowflake was stamped in Fresh Freesia ink, the next in Pale Papaya ink and finally the smallest in Polished Pink ink.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was added in Balmy Blue ink and the panel added to the Misty Moonlight panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a piece of White seam-binding ribbon around the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Fresh Freesia card front on Dimensionals.

I added a double bow, made with the same seam-binding ribbon with a Mini Glue Dots. To complete the card I added a trio of Basic Rhinestones.

Joy of Sets Blog Hoo where the theme is Christmas Music. I have chosen In the Bleak Midwinter

In the Bleak Midwinter – Joy of Sets Blog Hop

Posted on December 12, 2020December 12, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me today for the very last Joy of Sets Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Christmas Music’. I chose the carol – ‘In the Bleak Midwinter, frosty winds may moan. Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone’ and chose the Snow Front stamp set to create my snowy/icy scene. If you have hopped over from Gez Carpenter or started with me, you are very welcome.

To recreate the In the Bleak Midwinter card. you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”
Whisper White – 3¾” by 2¾”
Soft Suede – 3” by 1⅜”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I began by randomly stamping the group of trees from the Snow Front stamp set in Balmy Blue ink across the Balmy Blue card front to add a bit of texture. I added the panel of Soft Suede card to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it aside.

The mountains from the Snow Front stamp set were stamped in 3^rd generation Highland Heather ink for a subtle background.

Using a piece of copy paper, I tore a wavy edge and used one of the new Blending Brushes to add a little Balmy Blue ink onto the stamped piece, creating layers of snow banks.

The cottage was then stamped in Soft Suede ink. I added a variety of trees from the same stamp set in 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation Shaded Spruce ink to add some depth to the image. The icy path was added in Balmy Blue ink and the sweet pair of deer in Soft Suede, aren’t they adorable.

Taking a Post It Note I punched out a ¾” circle, added it to the top of the image and used the Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink to give the illusion of a winter sky. I added a little Misty Moonlight around the top to give some depth. To add to the illusion of icy conditions I sprayed the stamped panel with Frost White Shimmer Spray.
