I love the sweet little rhino from the Animal Outing stamp set and have used it today for a simple thank you card.
Making the Rhino card
www.crafty-rootes.com- Rhino from the Animal Outings stamp set
I stamped the rhino using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a panel of Whisper White 3” by 3” and die cut it out using the Layering Circle dies and my Big Shot. I coloured the rhino using the Light & Dark Smoky Slate and Ivory Blends pens. The tiny bird was coloured using the Light Calypso Coral. I backed the stamped piece onto a Scalloped circle cut from Calypso Coral cardstock using my Big Shot and Layering Circle Dies.
www.crafty-rootes.com- Rhino from the Animal Outings stamp set
Taking a Thick Whisper White card base I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a piece of Garden Impressions dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” and placed a 4” by ⅜” strip of Shaded Spruce from left to right to add interest to the panel. The stamped panel was then added overtop on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was inked in Shaded Spruce and stamped onto a 2” by ¼” strip of Whisper White cardstock and cut down to size. It was added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Such a quirky little card, hope you like it.

Today I am sharing a sweet card I made using the Wonderful Moments stamp set for the upcoming wedding of friends.
Making the Wonderful Moments card
I began with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5¼” by 3½”. I inked up the gorgeous image of the bride using Momento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it on the Whisper White pane. Taking the light and dark Calypso Coral, the light and dark Daffodil Delight & the light and dark Granny Apple Green Blends pens I coloured in the buttons, sash and bouquet of the bride. I used the Ivory Blend for her skin and the light and dark Crumb Cake for her hair.

I added two Artisan Pearls to her hair as decoration and a couple more scattered around. Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left hand corner of the stamped panel. I also rounded the upper left corner of a panel of Basic Black 5⅜” by 3⅝” and adhered it to the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Making a purple elephant card

I added a strip, 3½” by 1½” of Pool Party designer series paper (dsp) taken from the Subtles 6” by 6” paper stack. I punched the upper left corner with the Detailed Trio Punch and added a layer of Pool Party cardstock with the same punched corner.

Welcome to this month’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where the theme is Masculine cards. 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 her projects have given you some welcome inspiration, please continue to hop on and see what the other hoppers have to share with us this month.
So many of us struggle with making cards for the boys and men in our life, myself included. Today I have chosen to share a card I made for a friend who loves a good barbeque.
Making the card
I started by choosing a piece of designer series paper (dsp) from the gorgeous Tropical Escape dsp stack. I wanted something muted and more masculine looking as I wanted to stamp on it. Having selected my paper I took it to the Big Shot and die cut an apron using the Apron Builder Framelit dies. I also die cut a pocket, a neck band and some utensils from scraps of Whisper White, Granny Apple Green and Blueberry Bushel cardstock.
www.crafty-rootes.com – A masculine apron for the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop
Next I took the Make a Difference stamp set and using the individual letters stamped out ‘BBQ’ in Shaded Spruce ink onto the die cut apron. I stamped the word ‘King’ onto the Whisper White apron pocket in the same ink. I then assembled the apron adding the neck band, pocket and BBQ tools with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the tiny leaves from the Apron of Love stamp set on the pocket in Granny Apple Green ink.
www.crafty-rootes.com – A masculine apron for the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop
I choose another bolder pattern from the Tropical Escape dsp stack and cut it to 5⅜” by 3⅝”, rounded the upper left and lower right corner using the Detailed Trio Punch and added it to a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock, 5½” by 3¾” with identically rounded corners.
www.crafty-rootes.com – A masculine apron for the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop
I added the apron using Stampin’ Dimensionals to a piece of Vellum cardstock 4⅝” by 3⅞” with identically rounded corners. This was added to the panel with Multipurpose Adhesive which was only applied under the apron where it would not be seen.
Taking a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 11¾” by 4⅛” I scored it at 5 ½” and 2 and 15/16ths to make an easel card. The card topper was then added to the front by apply Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the bottom half of the panel.
www.crafty-rootes.com – A masculine apron for the Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop
I die cut the oven glove twice from the dsp and twice from Granny Apple Green cardstock and glued the 2 together with Multipurpose glue to make them a little sturdier and added them half way up the inside of the card to hold the easel in place.
I am really happy with how the card turned out. I hope you like it. Please hop on the see what Anastasia Radloff has to share with us.

Today I have been using the lady with balloons from the lovely Wonderful Moments stamp set to create a lovely birthday card.
Making the Wonderful Moments Lady with Balloons card
I began by stamping the pretty lady onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4½” by 3” using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I chose this ink as I knew I wanted to colour the image in with Stampin’ Blends. I stamped the balloons in the same ink.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Wonderful moments lady with balloons for a birthday card
Using the light & dark Rich Razzelberry Stampin’ Blends I coloured in the lady’s dress, her hair and shoes were coloured in using the light & dark Crumb Cake and her skin is Ivory. I coloured in the balloons using the light & dark Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blends. The image was ‘grounded’ using the light & dark Crumb Cake Blends.
The sentiment from the Hand Delivered stamp set was stamped in Rich Razzelberry ink. I used the Detailed Trio Punch to round the upper left corner of the stamped panel and added it to a Basic Black layer 4⅝” by 3⅛” with a rounded corner.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Wonderful moments lady with balloons for a birthday card
Taking a piece of the Share What You Love dsp measuring 5⅜” by 2½” I added it to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base on the left hand side. The stamped panel was added on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish the card I added a scattering of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

Today I am sharing a double Z fold card made for another of my oldest and loveliest friends. We have been friends for over 40 years!
Making this gorgeous card
I started by cutting a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 11” by 5½” and another piece 9¼” by 4¼”. Using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool I scored both pieces at 2¾” and 5½” on the long sides. I chose 2 of the gorgeous pieces of the Tropical Escape dsp. I cut 1 panel at 5¼” by 5¼” and 2 panels at 5¼” by 2½” and adhered the pieces to the larger Thick Whisper White card base. This dsp is stunning and I love the green and pink colour combination.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic for a special Double Z fold card
I took the detailed square die from the Tropical Thinlit dies and using my Big Shot I die cut it for Soft Sea Foam cardstock. I then cut a square of Granny Apple Green cardstock 2 ¾” by 2 ¾” and added it behind the Soft Sea Foam piece with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This piece was then added to the front of the smaller Thick Whisper White panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic for a special Double Z fold card
I cut 2 panels of Granny Apple Green cardstock 2 ¾” by 2 ¾” and round the top corners with the Detailed Trio Punch. I cut 2 panels of Whisper White cardstock 2 ½” by 2 ½”, round the upper corners as before then stamped one of the leaves from the Tropical Chic stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink in the upper right or lower left corner. These panels were then adhered to the Granny Apple Green layers and glued the Thick Whisper White piece.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic for a special Double Z fold card
I stamped the flowers in 1st and 2nd generation Flirty Flamingo ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut them out with my Big Shot and the Tropical Thinlits. The flowers were then added with either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals to the 3 front panels of the card. I also cut an extra leaf from Granny Apple Green cardstock and added it to the die cut panel.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic for a special Double Z fold card
The sentiment from the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set was stamped in Granny Apple Green ink. The smaller panel was then added to the larger panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I love this style of card. I added a scattering of Love What You Do Artisan Pearls to the card front.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic for a special Double Z fold card
I used my Envelope Punch Board and some retired Flirty Flamingo dsp to make an envelope for the card.

Today I am sharing the projects we made in this month’s classes using the Love What You Do stamp set and Share What You Love designer series paper (dsp).
www.crafty-rootes.com – Love What You Do and Share What You Love by Stampin’ Up!
Card 1 – scatter of flowers
We started with a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½” and stamped the large watercolor image in 2nd generation Pool Party ink. Second generation is when you ink up a stamp, stamp onto scrap paper then stamp the 2nd generation, or 3rd or 4th generation, onto your project.
I inked up the small flower images in Rich Razzelberry ink and stamped them from the bottom left to the top right of the Pool Party stamped image. Taking a Blender Pen and the Rich Razzelberry ink pad I coloured in the small flowers.
The sentiment from the Hand Delivered stamp set was stamped in Rich Razzelberry ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2” by ⅜” and trimmed a banner end using my Paper Snips. I added the sentiment to slightly larger piece of Rich Razzelberry cardstock and tucked a cut down piece of Pearlized Doily behind using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This was added to the stamped panel on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The whole panel was then added to a piece of Rich Razzelberry cardstock 5½” by 3” and adhered this panel to a Thick Whisper White card base on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a scrap of Rich Razzelberry and Pool Party cardstock to the lop left hand corner of the stamped panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive after banner ending with paper Snips. Finally I added a small bow made with White and Silver Baker’s Twine.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Love What You Do and Share What You Love by Stampin’ Up!
Card 2 – Embossed background
We took a 5” by 3⅝” panel of Pool Party cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot with the Lovely Floral Embossing folder. This panel was then adhered to the right hand side of the Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Taking the 3½” by 2¾” panel of Whisper White cardstock we stamped the Watercolor image in 2nd generation pool Party ink in the centre. We inked up the largest flower and stamped it in Rich Razzelberry ink and added the 2 leaves in Pool Party ink. This panel was then added to a layer of Rich Razzelberry cardstock 3⅝” by 2⅞” with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Taking a small piece of the Share What You Love dsp we flagged one end and adhered it to the embossed Pool Party layer. The stamped panel was then added over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the hand Delivered stamp set was stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White 2½” by ⅜” and added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and a Stampin’ Dimensional.

We again stamped the watercolor image in 2nd generation Pool party ink onto a panel of Whisper White 4” by 2¾” and stamped the flower image overtop in Rich Razzelberry ink. We also stamped the flowers in Rich Razzelberry ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. After colouring the flowers in using the Rich Razzelberry ink pad and Blender Pens we cut them out using paper snips and adhered them to the stamped panel. We added the stamped panel to a piece of Rich Razzelberry cardstock4 ¼” by 2” and set it to one side.
We added a piece of Share What You Love dsp to the front of a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesivebefore adding the stamped panel overtop on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

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 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.

Today I am sharing a card I made for the 60th birthday of one of my oldest and dearest friends. 4 of us started our nurse training over 40 years ago and have remained firm friends ever since. I seem to gravitate to these double z fold cards for all my special birthdays at the moment but I do love them.
Making a Double Z Fold card
I started with a panel of Thick Whisper White 11” by 5½” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then cut another piece of Thick Whisper White 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products
I chose a pattern from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper stack (dsp) and cut a piece at 5¼” by 5¼” and a piece at 5¼” by 2½”. I adhered the dsp to the 11” by 5½” scored panel of Thick Whisper White, the larger panel on what will become the back of the card and the smaller panel to the front of the card using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. On this occasion I left the middle panel undecorated.
www,crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products
I cut 3 panels of Old Olive cardstock; 1 panel at 4” by 4” and 2 panels at 4” by 2½” and adhered them to the smaller scored Thick Whisper White panel. I then cut 3 panels of Whisper White; 1 panel at 3¾” by 3¾” and 2 panels at 3¾” by 2¼”. I stamped the gorgeous roses from the Petal Palette stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink along the bottom of the larger Whisper White panel and in the upper right corner of the same panel. I then stamped the roses on either the upper right or lower left of the other two panels and coloured them in using the following Stampin’ Blends – Dark Pink Pirouette (retired), Light Lovely Lipstick, Light & Dark Old Olive. I rounded the corners of the layers using the Detailed Trio Punch.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products
I stamped the ‘Happy’, ‘Birthday’ and ‘th’ in Momento Tuxedo Black ink on the front and second panels. These words came from the, sadly now retired, Number of Years stamp set. I die cut the 2 number using the also retired Large Number Framelits from Old Olive cardstock. I cut 3 of each and layered them one on top of the other to give added dimension. The numbers were then added to the front panel with Tombow.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Double Z Fold card using Stampin Up products
The 2 Thick Whisper White pieces were then carefully glued together. To finish the card I made an envelope using my Envelope Punch Board.
Love the colours of this card and I really hope my friend loves it and forgives me for the large ‘60’ on the front!!
