A gorgeous 75th waterfall birthday card for my aunt made in bright summery colours using Stampin' Up! products

Special Waterfall Birthday Card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is Fun Folds. So with that in mind, I absolutely have to share with you the waterfall birthday card I have made for my Aunts special birthday tomorrow. This card was made using bright spring colours and flowers which my aunt loves.

Colours Used in this project are:

To recreate the Waterfall birthday card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Magenta Madness – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Magenta Madness – 4⅛” by 1”
Flowers For Every Season dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Flirty Flamingo – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White & Magenta Madness

I began by gluing the Flowers For Every Season dsp to the Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Magenta Madness card about 2 ¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus and this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Magenta Madness into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch; it is wider than the opening so is a bit of a fiddle. Push it right to the end then punch. Pull it out and trim off the extra piece on each side.

Fold on all the score lines, slip the punched scalloped end of the Magenta Madness under the strip of card you have just glued across the card. The scored part of the card will then be on top of the band. Using strong adhesive glue along the top of the scored panel – face down – adhere the piece to the bottom end of the band. This forms the waterfall mechanism.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp some of the sentiments from the You Are Amazing, Approaching Perfection & Good Morning Magnolia stamp sets on to the small panels of Basic White card. Other sentiments were masked and inked up using Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

The sentiment panels were added to the Coloured panels using with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a selection of flowers from the All Things Fabulous stamp set. For the larger flower I used 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd generation Magenta Madness. For the smaller flowers I used 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight and Bumblebee, Magenta Madness in 1^st and 2^nd generation and Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade. The leaves were stamped in Just Jade ink. These were all cut out using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machune. The flowers and leaves were added to the sentiment panels with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

I added a length of White Ribbon from my stash to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and tied it on with a piece of the Snail Mail Twine. I finished by adding some Gold Glitters Dot to each panel. I added a tiny Magenta Madness dragonfly punched out using the Dragonfly Punch to the front panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the 3 images from the Baby Pull Toys stamp set on to the squares of Basic White card. I stamped sentiments from the same stamp set onto the smallest and largest Basic White panels and adhered these directly, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, to the Night of Navy and Bermuda Bay panels.

I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the sweet little toy images – Gray Granite, Poppy Parade, Just Jade, Daffodil Delight, Cinnamon Cider and Mango Melody. I added a trio of hearts from the same stamp set on the largest Basic White piece and coloured these in using some of the same Blends Markers.

These stamped panels were then stuck onto the coloured panels using liquid glue. I added a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and a 2020-2022 In Colour Dot to the end of each toy to complete the card.

I absolutely love it. So adorable.

Welcome to the Stampers Showcase blog hop, our last one of 2020 and this month’s theme is ‘Sale-A-Bration’. I really, really wanted to use the gorgeous Berry Delightful dsp – can’t believe it is a free sale-a-Bration choice along with the co-ordinating stamp set Berry Blessings.

If you have hopped over from Wendy Lee Or you are starting with me, Mo Rootes I hope you will find lots of inspiration on this hop.

To recreate my strawberry lolly card, you will need:

Whisper White – 3⅞ by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right corner

Granny Apple Green – 3” by 3”
Whisper White 3” by 3”
Whisper White 5½” by 1” – scored at 1”
Oh So Ombre dsp – 4¼” by ¾”
Scrap Whisper White

The piece of Berry Delightful dsp reminded me of a picnic blanket my parents had when I was a child, summer days and strawberries…… I can’t wait….

I adhered the dsp to the square panel of Whisper White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the card front.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -Strawberry Lolly themed card using Sale-A-Bration Berry Delightful dsp for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I took the long thin strip of Whisper White, folded on the 1” score line and glued the 1” square tab to the inside of the card base. I stamped the strawberry in Poppy Parade ink and the top in Granny Apple Green ink onto the largest panel of Whisper White card and adhered it to the inside of the card to hide the stuck down tab.

I glued down the Oh So Ombre dsp- another free choice in the Sale-A-Bration brochure – to the front of the Whisper White strip using the liquid glue.

Scrap Whisper White

This card was inspired by a card made by a fellow demonstrator Wendy Cranford.

The ladies chose 2 patterns of dsp, one for the 2 front panels and 3 for the overlapping straps. They cut their cardstock using a Paper Trimmer.

The dsp panels were adhered to either the two Basic Black panels or the three Whisper White panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The larger panels were then adhered with the same glue to the front panels of the card.

They stamped the bee and the flower on on the larger Whisper White panel, adding colour with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker. The panel was then glued inside the card.

The three strips were then added to the cardfront. The top and bottom strip were glued to the left front panel and the middle strip to the right front panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

We used the stamparatus to stamp the bee hive or skep onto scrap Whisper White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, we stamped again using the same ink to get a really black imade. The smaller bee and flower were stamped in the same ink before all three images were die cut.

The hive was attached to the top and bottom strap using a tiny blob of liquid adhesive at the top and bottom of the hive. The bee was glued to the midde strap and the flower added to the side of the hive with liquid adhesive.

To recreate the Trio of Bees card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Crushed Curry – 5” by 3¼” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Golden Honey dsp – 4⅞” by 3⅛” – Rounded Upper Left corner
Whisper White – 4¼” by 2⅞” – Rounded Upper Left corner

The large bee was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink at the top and bottm of the Whisper White panel and the strips coloured in with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker.

The ladies then die cut a large golden bee from the edge of ther 6” panel of dsp – the remaining piece of dsp needed to be 3¾” wide to use on the third card.

The stripes on the golden bee were coloured using the dark Basic Black Blends Marker and the bee added to the middle of the panel on a dimensional. The remaining layers were adhered together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

To recreate the Hive of Bees card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded Lower Left corner
Golden Honey dsp – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded Lower Left corner
Scrap Whisper White card stock

The Golden Honey dsp was glued to the card base with multipurpose liquid adhesive.

The stamparatus was used to stamp the bee hive in Crushed Curry ink onto scrap Whisper White. Three bees were also stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. All the images were then die cut.

The stripes on the bees were coloured with the dark Daffodil Delight Blends Marker and the hive and bees were added to the card front with Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set was stamped in Crushed Curry ink onto scrap Whisper White card stock and punched out using the Classic label Punch. It was added to the card front with glue.

Pocketful of Happiness meets Family Party

Posted on November 10, 2019November 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made for a friends 60^th birthday using the Pocketful of Happiness and Family Party stamp sets.

To recreate the Pocketful of Happiness card you will need:

Flirty Flamingo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” and 2 1/16”
Mint Macaron – 5⅝” by 3⅞” x 2 – Rounded upper right and lower left corner
Whisper White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right and lower left corner
Whisper White – 3½” by 3½”
Whisper White – 3½” by 2”

I folded the Flirty Flamingo card base in half then folded the second score line in the opposite direction and burnished using a bone folder. I rounded the upper right corner of the back panel, the lower left corner of the smaller panel and the lower left corner on the central fold.

I glued the Whisper White panel to one of the Mint Macaron panels with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the pocket to the panel using Tear and Tape.

Using the Delightful Tag Punch I punched the top of the 2” strip of Whisper White. I stamped the sentiment from the Family Party stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink, added the end of the leaf sray ro the top and coloured it in with the Blends Markers. I added a bow made from the Mint Macaron Shimmer Ribbon to the top of the tag with a Mini Glue Dot.

I added a couple of Dimensionals to the back of the tag but did not remove the backing. I wanted the height with the ability for the tag to slide in and out.

I stamped the flower and leaf on the remaining panel of Whisper White cardstock, coloured it in and glued it to the remaining Mint Macaron layer and added it to the inside of the card using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added the same ink to the left hand side of the decorated Whisper White panel and added it to the card front.

To complete the card I coloured in some Basic Pearls with the dark So Saffron and dark Mint Macaron Blends Markers. I stamped the flower and leaf image on the envelope and coloured it using the same marker pens.

Such a pretty, fresh card. I know my friend will like it.
