Today I have had my first play with a really versatile stamp set called Nothing Sweeter. I used the quirky Christmas tree image from the stamp set which also has images of a present, a heart, a snowflake, a group of stars and a number of versatile sentiments.
Nothing Sweeter Christmas Card
I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4” by 3¾”. I inked up the large texture stamp from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set using 2nd generation Balmy Blue ink. I stamped the sentiment in Balmy Blue ink in the upper left hand corner of the panel and rounded the same corner using the Detailed Trio Punch. Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped panel to a layer of Mossy Meadow cardstock having rounded the same corner.

I then took some scrap Whisper White cardstock and stamped the outline Christmas tree image in Mossy Meadow ink three times. I added the tree interior in 2nd or 3rd generation ink before die cutting them using the Big Shot and the Sweetly Stitched Framelits, both the tree frame and the stitched inner die. The trees were added to the right side of the panel using either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some stars around the die cut trees in 2nd generation Balmy Blue ink.

Taking a Thick Whisper White card base I adhered a piece of Festive Farmhouse dsp 4” by 1⅞” to the bottom. The stamped panel was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Red Rhinestones to the trees and a bow made using the Festive Farmhouse Cotton Twine in Mossy Meadow.

A couple of days ago I saw a video where fellow demonstrator Alisa Tilsner aka The Artful Stamper made a card using the gorgeous Beautiful Bauble stamp set and I had to try CASEing it myself.
Making the Beautiful Bauble card
I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper 4½” by 3”. I rubbed the Embossing Buddy over the paper to get rid of oils and static before stamping the large bauble randomly across the panel with Versamark ink. I then covered the panel in White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Baubles heat embossed and watercoloured
I chose to colour my baubles using HighIand Heather and Coastal Cabana and added a couple of drops of each of the re-inkers to a clear block. I then added water to one bauble using an Aquapainter, picked up some of the re-inker with the Aquapainter and added it to the bauble. I love the way the ink moves in the water. I coloured each bauble one at a time.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Baubles heat embossed and watercoloured
When all the baubles were coloured in I left the panel to dry before adding it with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a layer of Coastal Cabana cardstock measuring 4¾” by 3¼”. This panel was then glued to a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4⅞” by 3⅜”. The whole piece was then added to a Highland Heather card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Baubles heat embossed and watercoloured
The sentiment was stamped in Versamark onto a scrap of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and covered with White Embossing Powder. I heat set it using my Heat tool before adding it to the front of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
I absolutely love this card, it is gorgeous and so easy to make. I will try it in some other colours.

Welcome to October’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. If you have hopped over from the lovely Pia Gerhardt I am sure you loved her project. The theme this month is a Christmas jump start – with this in mind I designed this month’s class projects around the gorgeous Winter Woods stamp set and co-ordinating In the Woods dies.
Row of Trees Card
I began with a panel of Whisper White 5⅛” by 3½”. I inked up the row of trees in Soft Suede ink and added a little of the gorgeous Frost White Shimmer Paint with a Sponge Dauber and stamped across the Whisper White panel twice.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Winter Woods for a Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop
Taking the snow bank edgelit from the In the Woods Framelit Dies, I die cut the bottom of the panel before adding the stamped panel to a layer of Soft Suede cardstock 5¼” by 3⅝” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then added the whole piece offset onto a Soft Sea Foam card base on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set was stamped on scrap Whisper White cardstock in Shaded Spruce ink. This was added to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. For an bit of extra bling I added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins.
Christmas Tree
I started with a panel of Soft Sea Foam 5⅞” by 3⅞” and stamped the row of trees in Soft Suede ink about half way up the panel. Using Soft Sea Foam ink and the tiny group of stars stamp from the Beautiful Baubles stamp set I stamped randomly above the trees.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Winter Woods for a Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop
I ran a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3⅞” by 3” and a piece of Vellum 3⅞” by 2” through the Big Shot with the snow bank edgelit die and added them to the Soft Sea Foam piece with Stampin Dimensionals. I wrapped a piece of the gorgeous Braided Linen Trim around the bottom of the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. I added a bow on the top with a Mini Glue Dot.
Next I die cut the Christmas Tree and the inner part of the tree from a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock 6” by 2⅝” and flipped up the tree flaps and added some Champagne Shimmer Paint with a Sponge Dauber. The tree was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive on the bottom and Dimensionals on the top. The whole panel was then added to a Soft Suede card base with a sprinkling of Iridescent Sequins. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto a scrap of Whisper White and added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Gift Bag
The sweet bag was made using the Gift Bag Punch Board and a panel of Soft Sea Foam 11” by 7” and following the ‘medium’ bag instructions I punched and scored the bag. I trimmed away the excess pieces and stamped the front panel and closing top flap with the Soft Sea Foam ink and the tiny star stamp from the Beautiful Bauble stamp set. I closed the bottom of the bag using Tear & Tape.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Winter Woods for a Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop
I die cut a snow bank from a piece of Whisper White cardstock and added it to the front of the bag with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the tree onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3½” by 2” using Shaded Spruce Ink and a little Champagne Shimmer Paint added with a Sponge Dauber. I die cut the tree using the In the Woods Framelit dies and attached it to the box with Dimensionals.
I wrapped some ⅛” Whisper White Ribbon around the bag and tied in a bow and added a scatter of Iridescent Sequins.
I am really happy with these projects, I hope you like them. Please hop on to see what Jo Blackman has to share with us, then take the opportunity to hop around to see the rest of the wonderful inspiration provided by the other lovely demos.

Today I have been making a Country style Christmas card using the fabulous Buffalo Check stamp set and the In the Woods framelit dies.
Making the Country Style Christmas card
I started by getting out my Stamparatus and inking up the Buffalo Check stamp with Poppy Parade ink and stamped it down onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I like to use the Stamparatus so that I can stamp repeatedly if I need to.
www.crafty-rootes.com -A country style Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products
When the Poppy Parade ink was dry I added lines using a Mossy Meadow marker, I really like the added interest this gives. I then trimmed the panel down to 5½” by 3¾” using my Paper Trimmer.
www.crafty-rootes.com -A country style Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products
Taking a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock 5⅝” by 3⅞” I die cut the 2 Christmas tree shapes from the centre then adhered this the stamped panel to a layer of Mossy Meadow. Love that you can use the middle of a panel then cover it up and no-one will ever know!!
www.crafty-rootes.com -A country style Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products
Using Mini Dimensionals I added the top layer of the tree to the base layer, pulling out the little leafy pieces. I covered the tree in Clear Wink of Stella, you can never have enough bling! I also added some of the gorgeous Red Rhinestones before adhering the tree to the card front. I inked up the sentiment using a Mossy Meadow Marker and stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White and trimmed to fit. I added a strip of Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon adhered on the back of the panel with Sellotape and added a bow using a Mini Glue Dot.

At team training last week Mikaela – my team leader – brought the gorgeous Blizzard Thinlit die and the new Embossing Mats for us to try out and asked us to make a card featuring the embossed piece…….this is mine.
Making the Blizzard Card
www.crafty-rootes.com – Embossing using the Blizzard thinlit dies by Stampin’ Up!
To emboss the panel we started with a piece of Pool Party cardstock big enough to cover the entire die. We used the Big Shot Platform, then the die face up, then the cardstock, then the thin blue silicon sheet and lastly the white embossing plate and ran the sandwich through the Big Shot. The effect is stunning and you can use either the positive or negative sides. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut the panel down to 4¾” by 3⅜” and rounded the upper left and lower right corners using the Detailed trio Punch.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Embossing using the Blizzard thinlit dies by Stampin’ Up!
I added the embossed layer to a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5” by 3⅝” after rounding the same corners. This panel was then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a Night of Navy card base with identically rounded corners.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it using an oval from the Stitched Shapes dies. I stamped the sweet little snowflake cluster on the bottom of the die cut piece in Pool Party ink.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Embossing using the Blizzard thinlit dies by Stampin’ Up!
I added a small piece of Tear ‘N Tape to the card front, wrapped some Silver Metallic Thread around my hand and added it to the Tear ‘N Tape. The sentiment piece was then added over the thread on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Taking some scrap Whisper White cardstock I die cut some of the snowflakes using the Blizzard die and added one to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To finish I added some Basic Rhinestones.

Last week I was asked to do a demonstration for the local village women’s group and this is the card I shared made using the Beautiful Bauble stamp set.
Beautiful Bauble card
I began by taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3¾” by 3¾”. I ran my Embossing Buddy over the Whisper White panel to remove the static and oils from the cardstock. I inked up the large detailed bauble with Versamark ink and stamped it down onto the Whisper White panel. Then I covered the panel in Copper Embossing Powder, flicking off the excess powder before melting it with my Heat Tool.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bauble Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products
I coloured in the Bauble using the Light & Dark Poppy Parade, Light & Dark Bermuda Bay & Light Pool Party Blends Alcohol Pens. The Whisper White panel was added to a piece of Copper Foil measuring 3⅞” by 3⅞” with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bauble Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products
I added some of the sweet little stars to the right hand side of the Pool Party card base and added the stamped panel with Stampin; Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and adhered to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. As a finishing touch I added some copper sequins from the Metallic Sequins selection using the fantastic new Take a Pick Tool.

My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. If you have hopped over from the lovely Eva Pottsova I am sure you loved her project. One of the first things that caught my eye in the new Holiday Catalogue was the adorable Spirited Snowmen stamp set. Those snowmen are just sooooo cute.
Dancing Snowman card
For the first card I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4 ¼” by 2 ¾” which I placed in my Stamparatus. I inked up the Buffalo Check stamp with Poppy Parade ink and stamped it down. I find using the big background stamps with the Stamparatus gives a much better image. I added the stamped piece to a panel of Poppy Parade cardstock 4⅜” by 2⅞” and added it to a Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
www.carfty-rootes.com – Spirited Snowman stamp st by Stampin’Up! for sweet Christmas cards
Next I stamped the Dancing Snowman in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White 3” by 3” and used the Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie and Soft Suede markers to colour him in. He looks so happy doesn’t he?
www.carfty-rootes.com – Spirited Snowman stamp st by Stampin’Up! for sweet Christmas cards
I die cut the snowman using the Layering Circles dies and the Big Shot and die cut a slightly larger Blueberry Bushel scalloped circle and adhered them together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the sentiment from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set in Blueberry Bushel and added the image to the right side of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To complete the card I added some Red Rhinestones and a Blueberry Bushel bow with a Mini Glue Dots.
Skating Snowman card
I started with a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock 5⅞” by 4⅛”. I placed this in the Stamparatus, inked up the large Buffalo Check background stamp with Blueberry Bushel ink and stamped it onto the Balmy Blue cardstock. The stamped Buffalo Check piece was then cut on the diagonal using the Stampin’ Trimmer and adhered to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base.
www.carfty-rootes.com – Spirited Snowman stamp st by Stampin’Up! for sweet Christmas cards
I cut a strip of Silver Foil at 6” by ¼” and adhered it to the card front above the stamped panel leaving a small gap between the two pieces.
I stamped the gorgeous ‘skating snowman’ onto a panel of Whisper White approximately 3” by 3” and coloured it in using the Blueberry Bushel, Poppy Parade, Soft Suede and Pumpkin Pie Markers. He looks adorable. The piece was the die cut using the Big Shot and the Layering Circles dies.
www.carfty-rootes.com – Spirited Snowman stamp st by Stampin’Up! for sweet Christmas cards
I die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Blueberry Bushel cardstock and added it to the stamped circle. I then die cut a slightly larger circle from Poppy parade and adhered it to the back of the scalloped circle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This piece was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and a scattering of Red Rhinestones was added for that bit of extra sparkle.
The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and backed by a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock. I banner cut the end and stuck it to the card front.

Today I am sharing the cards we made during this month’s classes. We used the gorgeous Blended Seasons stamp set and the co-ordinating Stitched Seasons dies. This set is only available until the 31st August or while stocks last so if you like it don’t wait to buy it. I decided to use this set to do a masterclass in colouring using Blends, Watercolor Pencils with Blender Pens and ink pads with Aquapainters.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Blended Seasons stamp set used for August classes
Card 1 – Blossoms
The first card was very straight forward but to ensure everyone got a crisp stamped image we mounted the stamp onto the Stampartus. We stamped onto a panel of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. The ladies then chose a duo of Blends Pens to colour the flowers and a second set to colour the leaves. The sample used the Cherry Coober duo for 2 flowers and the Poppy Parade duo for the 3rd flower. I used the Granny Apple Green duo for the leaves.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Blended Seasons stamp set used for August classes
Using the Detailed Trio Punch we rounded the upper left corner of the stamped panel and a panel of Basic Gray measuring 5½” by 3¾” and adhered the two together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. We stamped the sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Black ink. Using the Blends pens we coloured some pearls to co-ordinate with the coloured image and added them to the panel before adhering it to a Thick Whisper White card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Card 2 – Christmas!!!!!
In my opinion it is never too early to make Christmas cards and thankfully my ladies were prepared to indulge me! We began by taking a piece of Shimmery White cardstock and die cutting the middle stitched shape from the gorgeous Stitched Seasons dies. These are lovely dies used on their own but absolutely stunning when layered together.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Blended Seasons stamp set used for August classes
We stamped the sentiment and the holly boughs in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto the die cut Shimmery White piece and coloured them in using the lovely Watercolor Pencils from the original set and the set currently available until August 31st. We then blended the colour with Blender Pens.
Taking a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock 5¼” by 3½” we stamped the sweet leaf image in the left upper and right lower corners using Garden Green ink and adhered the label to a Thick Whisper White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. We added a strip of Cherry Cobbler 5⅞” by ⅜” across the centre and added the coloured panel on top using Stampin’ Dimensionals. We added a scattering of coloured Basic Pearls to the panel.
Card 3 – Autumnal Easel
We started making this card by die cutting the lovely stitched frames using the Big shot. The largest shape was cut from Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the medium size from Shimmery White cardstock. We also die cut the sweet leaf shape from the Stitched Seasons dies from Copper Foil Paper.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Blended Seasons stamp set used for August classes
We stamped the gorgeous leaf image in Versamark ink onto the Shimmery White die cut piece and covered it with Copper Embossing powder which we heat set with the Heat Tool……….and yes most of us remembered to use the Embossing Buddy.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Blended Seasons stamp set used for August classes
We used Cherry Cobbler ink pad, Pumpkin Pie ink pad, Crushed Curry ink pad and Garden Green ink pad and Aquapainters to colour in the image. Love the effect watercoloring gives and the fact that you can layer up the colour to get a rich, intense colour. WE stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink before adhering the stamped layer to the Cherry Cobbler layer.
We added the panel to a card base of Thick Whisper White 11¾” by 4⅛”, scored at 2 15/16ths and 5⅞”. You need to make sure you only add glue to the bottom half of the panel or the card fold won’t work properly. The copper leaf is then added to the inside of the card on Dimensionals to act as a stopper. We added coloured Basic Pearls to finish the card.

Today I am sharing the card I made for this month’s team challenge the theme of which was ‘make a Christmas project using non Christmas supplies. I decided to try making a Christmas Wreath using my Stamparatus and the Painted Harvest stamp set which hasn’t had a lot of love recently
Before starting this card I watched the video by Dawn of DoStamping – where she explains how to make a template to use with the Stamparatus. I used my retired Square dies and Window Sheet to make the template for this particular; I wanted a larger sized wreath.
Making the Christmas Wreath card
I began by placing my Window Sheet template in the corner of my Stamparatus. I placed a 3¾” square of Whisper White cardstock in the negative space at the centre of the template; the square is exactly the same size as the negative space. I placed the solid leaf stamp onto the Whisper White cardstock and picked it up with one of the plates.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Wreath made using the Painted Harvest stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I inked the stamp with Granny Apple Green ink and stamped it down. I rotated the cardstock one turn within the template and inked up and stamped the leaf image in the same way. I repeated this step by stamping the leaf all the way round the panel.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Wreath made using the Painted Harvest stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
Next I positioned the more detailed leaf stamp, inked up in Mossy Meadow ink and stamped it around the wreath as before. I stamped the sentiment from the Mistletoe Season stamp set in the centre of the wreath in Real Red ink and added some of the gorgeous new Red Rhinestones to give some colour and shine.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Wreath made using the Painted Harvest stamp set by Stampin’ Up!
I ran a 5⅝” by 3⅞” panel of Real Red cardstock through the Big Shot with the Layering Leaves embossing folder and added the stamped panel on top with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of ⅜” Real Red Cotton Ribbon around the join securing it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then added to a Thick Whisper White card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally I added a bow in the same ribbon.
