A sweet clean and simple Engagement card featuring a diamond solitaire using Stampin' Up! products

A Clean and Simple Engagement Card

Today I am sharing the sweet card I made for my daughter and her fiancé following their engagement at the weekend. So exciting!!!!

I started with a Thick Whisper White card base and rounded the upper right corner with the Decorative Trio Punch. I die cut 2 circles using the Layering Circles Dies, the smaller in Whisper White cardstock and the next size up in Gold Foil. I glued the circles together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I adhered the circles to a panel of Whisper White cardstock 2¾” by 2¾” having rounded the upper right corner with the new Decorative Trio Punch. I added this layer to a piece of Basic Black cardstock 2⅞” by 2⅞” with a rounded upper right corner.

I used the embossing buddy on the front of the Thick Whisper White card base and stamped the sentiment from the Lilypad Lake stamp set in Versamark Ink before covering it in Gold Embossing Powder. I heat set it with my Heat Tool, I just love embossing…….

I added the small panel to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Camilla’s ring is a diamond solitaire, so I finished the card by adding a large Basic Rhinestone to mimic the diamond in her ring.

Camilla favours plain and simple cards and I really hope she and Dom like this one.

Delicate filigree butterfly by Stampin' Up! for an Anniversary card

Springtime Impressions Butterfly

Today I am sharing a card I made using the gorgeous new Springtime Impressions dies. You can purchase these in a bundle with the pretty Abstract Flowers stamp set with  10% discount but today I am only using the dies.

To Make the Card

Using my Stampin’ Trimmer I cut a panel of Petal Pink cardstock at 5⅜” by 3⅝”. This is one of our new colours and is such a soft and delicate colour. I placed the large detailed butterfly from the Springtime Impressions dies in the lower left hand corner and ran it through my Big Shot. I also ran a 4½” by 2½” piece of Vellum through the Big Shot with the same butterfly die.

I then inserted the upper right corner of the Petal Pink layer into the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot. Love the delicate texture this gives to the card.

Special Birthday card using Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin' Up!

Number of Years and Birthday Blooms for a Special Birthday

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Birthday Blooms stamp set, the Number of Years Stamp set and the Large Numbers dies. These are all retiring from the Annual Catalogue on the 31st of May and I will really miss them. I made this card for my Mum who is celebrating her special birthday in a couple of days.

Making the card

I began with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 11” by 5½” which I scored on the long side at 2¾” by 5½” using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I took a 2nd piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then folded and burnished all of the score lines.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin’ Up!

I chose 2 patterns from the Tutti-Frutti dsp stack and cut 2 panels at 5⅜” by 2⅝” and one panel at 5⅝” by 5⅝”. I then adhered these to the larger Thick Whisper White panel leaving a tiny border round each panel.

I then cut panels in Lemon Lime Twist cardstockone at 4” by 3½” and two at 4” by 2⅝” and Whisper White panelsone at 3⅞” by 3⅜” and two at 3⅞” by 2⅜”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin’ Up!

On the larger Whisper White panel I stamped the large rose image from the Birthday Blooms stamp set in the lower left hand corner using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the smaller rose image in the bottom left or top right on the remaining Whisper White panels. I coloured the flowers in with the Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and the Light and Dark Old Olive Blends Pens.

I stamped the word ‘birthday’ using Momento Tuxedo Black ink on the on the panel with the small bloom in the lower left hand corner. I took some scrap Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and die cut each of the numbers 3 times using my Big Shot and glued them together to give added dimension. I then glued them to the largest stamped Whisper White panel. The word ‘happy’ and ‘th’ were then stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink either side of the die cut numbers. I rounded one corner of each of the Whisper White panels and the same corners on the Lemon Lime Twist panels using the new Detailed Trio Punch. These panels were then adhered together with Tombow liquid Adhesive and added to the small Thick Whisper White panel. I then glued the 2 main panels together.

To finish off I made an envelope using my Envelope Punch Board and the gorgeous Delightful Daisy dsp which will also retire on the 31st May.

I love the bright, sunny colours used on this card. I really hope my Mum likes it.

The gorgeous Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly

A Detailed Dragonfly

Today I have been playing with the gorgeous Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits and the stunning Share What You Love Designer Series Paper (dsp).

The gorgeous Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly using Stampin’ Up! product

I began by choosing one of the beautiful patterns from this dsp stack and after a lot of deliberation I went with one of the bolder patterns and cut a piece 5⅜” by 3⅝” using my Paper Trimmer.  I added the dsp to a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5½” by 3¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive before adding the whole panel to a Rich Razzleberry card base using the same glue. I really feel that the Whisper White layer makes the coloured dsp ‘pop’.

The gorgeous Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Share What You Love dsp meets a detailed Dragonfly using Stampin’ Up! product

I die cut the largest stitched oval from a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies and my Big Shot. I stamped the greeting from the Hand Delivered stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink towards the bottom of the oval. I added the die cut oval to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals,

Taking a piece of Basic Black cardstock and my Big Shot I die cut the intricate dragonfly using the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits dies. I added some Glitter Enamel Dots to the body of the dragonfly and placed the dragonfly onto the oval with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Such a simple but effective card. I hope you like it.

Watercolor Wings and Awesomely Artistic stamp sets by Stampin' Up used for the Kissing Technique

Watercolor Wings meets the ‘Kissing Technique’

Today I have been using a couple of our retiring stamp sets Watercolor Wings and Awesomely Artistic, both fabulous, versatile sets.

Kissing Technique

I inked up the large ‘solid butterfly’ image from the Watercolor Wings stamp set in So Saffron ink and inked up the large ‘foliage’ stamp from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set before bringing them together so that the detailed foliage was stamped onto the solid butterfly. This is known as the ‘kissing technique’. Such a striking effect.

Watercolor Wings and Awesomely Artistic and the Kissing Technique

www.crafty-rootes.com – Watercolor Wings and Awesomely Artistic and the Kissing Technique

I then stamped the solid butterfly onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock which I then die cut using the Bold Butterfly dies and my Big Shot. I stamped the butterfly ‘body’ onto the die cut piece in Real Red ink. I find it easier to line up after I die cut rather than stamping it before die cutting.

Watercolor Wings and Awesomely Artistic stamp sets by Stampin' Up used for the Kissing Technique

www.crafty-rootes.com – Watercolor Wings and Awesomely Artistic and the Kissing Technique

I place a panel of  Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” onto the front of a Thick Whisper White card base. I then inked up the foliage image from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set again with the So Saffron ink then rolled the edge around in the Real Red ink to give a two toned look. I stamped the image in the bottom right hand corner and the top left hand corner over lapping the edge of the smaller Whisper White panel.

This panel was then added to a Real Red layer, 5½” by 3¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I laid the die cut butterfly in position and stamped the antennae in So Saffron ink and the spotty trail in So Saffron ink and Real Red ink. The sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink in the lower left hand corner. The whole panel was then added to the Thick Whisper White card base. Finally, the butterfly was added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

This is such a striking technique, why don’t you give it a try.

Card featuring a dragon using Stampin' Up products

A Dragon makes a Magical Day

Today I have been making a quick birthday card for a friend.  She loves all things dragon and has quite a collection going so the Magical Day stamp set was the obvious choice for her birthday card.

Making the card

I started by stamping the gorgeous dragon onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock before die cutting it out using the co-ordinating Magical Mates Framelit Dies and my Big Shot. I die cut a square from Whisper White cardstock using the Layering Squares dies and a slightly larger scalloped circle from scrap Basic Gray cardstock using the same set of dies.

I coloured the dragon using Stampin’ Blends in light & dark Rich Razzelberry, light & dark Bermuda Bay and dark Pool Party.  When the image was fully coloured I added the dragon to the Whisper White square and glued this to the Basic Gray scalloped square die cut using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

I cut a 4⅛” by 1” strip of the Bermuda Bay paper from the Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper stack. I added this strip to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added the square topper over the gorgeous glimmer strip using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was added below in Archival Basic Gray ink.

I think this simple card is so pretty. I really hope my friend likes it.

Ladies crafting at a Stamp-a-Stack

Spring Stamp-a-Stack

Some of my lovely ladies and I spent yesterday crafting away at my Spring Stamp-a-Stack event whilst the sun beat down outside. This time their pack included the fabulous Tutti-Fruitti 6”x6” dsp stack and a pack of Glitter Enamel Dots. This dsp pack is so bright and cheerful……..perfect for those Spring/Summer days. I paired the paper up with some fun and playful stamp sets.

Gorgeous card trio using the Petal Palette Stamp Set and Petals and More dies by Stampin' Up!

Petal Palette for April Classes

For April’s classes we used the gorgeous Petal Palette Stamp Set, Petals & More Dies and one of the Petal Pair Embossing Folders to create 3 summery looking cards including an easel card. The ladies who came loved the set and the cards we made.

Card 1

Double layered stamping using the Petal Palette Stamp set

www.crafty-rootes.com – Petal Palette Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

I wanted to show the ladies the double layer stamping technique and this stamp set was just perfect. We started with a Thick Whisper White card base and added a panel of Whisper White 4¾” by 3” to the centre with a little temporary adhesive. We inked up the large group of roses using Momento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it in the upper left hand corner making sure to overlap the edge of the layer. The sentiment was stamped in the same ink at the bottom right corner of the Whisper White panel.

We then took the Melon Mambo Watercolor Pencil and scribbled colour onto the roses using a Blender Pen to soften and blend the colour. We used the Lemon Lime Twist Watercolor Pencil to add colour to the leaves and added a little depth with the Old Olive Watercolor Pencil. The Blender Pen was used again to mix the colours.

The Whisper White layer was then separated from the card base, the upper right corner rounded with a ½” WRMK Corner Rounder and added to a Basic Black cardstock layer with an identically rounded corner. The panel was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. We then added Basic Rhinestones to add a little sparkle.

Card 2

Sweet card using the Petal Palette Stamp set and Petal Pairs embossing folder

www.crafty-rootes.com – Petal Palette Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

We stamped the same rose image onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and coloured it in with the Watercolor Pencils as before. Using the Petals & More dies and the Big Shot we cut out the stamped and coloured image.

Using the Big Shot again we embossed a strip of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2¼” using one of the embossing folders in the Petal Pair set. We wrapped a length of Black Shimmer Ribbon around one edge and used Mini Glue Dots to secure the ribbon on the back. This panel was then added to the front of a Lemon Lime Twist card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The die cut roses were then added to the right side of the card front.

We stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Banners stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it down. We added a scrap strip of Melon Mambo cardstock to the bottom of the sentiment and ticked the end under the flowers and finished with some Basic Rhinestones.

Card 3

Easel card using the Petal Palette Stamp set

www.crafty-rootes.com – Petal Palette Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up!

We began by folding and burnishing the Thick Whisper White card base which I had cut at 11⅞” by 4⅛  and scored at 2 15/16” and 5⅞”. We then set this aside.

We stamped the lovely dotted image onto the bottom of a Whisper White panel 4¾“by 3”, about 1” from the bottom using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink stamped off to give a lighter shade. We then added the leaf image in Lemon Lime Twist ink above using both first and second generation ink. I absolutely love this image, so versatile as well.

Onto scrap Whisper White cardstock we stamped the sweet little bird in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and 3 flowers in Melon Mambo ink and die cut them out using the Petals & More dies and the Big Shot. Using the Watercolor Pencils we coloured in the bird………..so cute.

We die cut the label from the Petals & More dies then stamped the sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I find it easier to position the sentiment onto the die cut piece rather than stamping and then die cutting – personal preference. The sentiment was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The bird was added with its feet resting on the die cut sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals. We added one of the sweet Petal Passion Embellishments to the sentiment strip.

We rounded the upper corners of the stamped Whisper White panel, the Basic Black/Basic Gray panel and the Melon Mambo Panels and glued the 3 together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. We added the whole panel to the card front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive on the lower part only. The die cut flowers were then added to the inside panel with Stampin’ Dimensionals to support the card front when the card is open.

The ladies really enjoyed making these projects. Hope you like them as well.

Special birthday card using Stampin' Up! product

Perennial Birthday with Large Numbers

Today I am sharing a card I made for one of my team mates who celebrated her special birthday in the week prior to OnStage in Telford – so the partying continued………what can I say!

I chose the large sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamps set and mounted it onto one of the plates of my Stamparatus Stamp Positioning Tool. I placed a panel of Blushing Bride cardstock 5” by 3¼” onto the platform then inked up the stamp using Blushing Bride ink and stamped multiple times moving  the panel down using the hinge stamping method. I die cut the largest scalloped circle from the Layering Circle dies from the centre of a panel of Chocolate Chip cardstock 5⅛” by 3⅜” and used the remains of the panel to mount the stamped panel and set it aside.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Perennial Birthday Stamp set and large Number dies for a special birthday

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock approx 3½” by 3½” and my Big Shot I die cut the largest stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelit Dies. I inked up the flower and leaf stamps from the set using Flirty Flamingo, Rich Razzelberry and Wild Wasabi Markers and stamped them onto tthe stitched circle.

Using the Large Number dies I die cut a 5 and a 0 from Champagne Foil and a further 3 times each from scrap Whisper White cardstock. I glued the die cuts together using Tombow Liquid Adhesive ending with the Champagne Foil on top. I added the numbers to the stitched circle using Tombow and mounted the circle onto the die cut Chocolate Chip scalloped circle.

Using Tombow Liquid Adhesive I added the stamped circle to the stamped Blushing Bride panel, slightly off set and trimmed off the excess. The whole panel was added to the front of a Blushing Bride card base using Tombow.

To finish off I added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins.and stamped the same flower on a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and added it to the inside using Tombow.

Such a pretty card, let me know what you think.

Swaps for OnStage Telford April 2018

Bubble Over Swaps

I am so excited to be going to OnStage in Telford, UK tomorrow. Looking forward to spending time with my team, catching up with old friends and making new ones and of course SWAPPING!!!! Today I am sharing my swap.

I knew I wanted to use my new Stamparatus and the Bottles and Bubbles dies and Bubble Over stamp set to make my OnStage swaps so began with a scrap panel of Whisper White cardstock.

Template for multiple stamping using the Stamparatus

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over Bundle by Stampin’ Up for OnStage swaps

I started by making a template using a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cutting the large bottle in the middle of the panel using my Big Shot and the Bottles & Bubbles framelit dies. I then die cut a further 64 large bottles from scrap pieces of Whisper White cardstock and set them aside.

I positioned the negative bottle image template onto the Stamparatus on top of the foam panel and inserted the large bottle stamp into the negative space before closing the door to pick up the stamp.

I inserted the die cut bottles, one at a time into the negative space inking up the bottle stamp in Always Artichoke ink (perfect colour for a champagne bottle) and closing the panel to stamp onto the die cut bottle.

I absolutely love this technique and it was so much faster doing it this way. Love it! My Always Artichoke ink pad was quite dry and I don’t have the re-inker so I double stamped the first 3 -4 bottles but the more I stamped the more I liked the aged, vintage look the dry ink pad gave so decided not to double stamp the remaining bottles.

I die cut 65 of the large bottle labels from scrap Whisper White cardstock with the Bottles and Bubbles dies and die cut lots of stars using the Mini Treat Bag dies and scraps of Real Red cardstock. I added a star to the centre of each label with Tombow Liquid Adhesive then added the label with the same glue to the front of each bottle.

I cut 65 panels of Whisper White 4¾” by 3” and rounded the upper right hand corner with my Envelope Punch Board. I placed the panels onto the Stamparatus platform and laid the sentiment stamp from the Balloon Celebrations stamp set – love the font – onto the panel then picked it up with the right hand panel. I inked up the stamp with Real Red ink and stamped onto each panel in turn. Perfectly positioned!

Next, I laid a bottle into position on the stamped Whisper White panel and stamped the stars from the Confetti Celebration stamp set in Real Red ink, I repeated this step on the other panels. The Whisper White layers were then glued to panels of Real Red cardstock 5” by 3¼” also with the upper right hand corner rounded.

I added the die cut bottles on Stampin’ Dimensionals to the stamped panel before adding the whole topper to a Thick Whisper White card base. To finish off I added some Basic Rhinestones to each card.
