Birds

Posted on October 22, 2020October 20, 2020 by Mo Rootes

I couldn’t wait to try out the Birds & Branches stamp set and this is what I have come up with for my first play.

To recreate the Birds & Branches card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 4⅛” by 2⅞”
Cinnamon Cider – 4⅛” by ½”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

I stamped the long branch in Cinnamon Cider ink and added a side branch. The detailed bird was stamped in Old Olive ink and the full bird in Balmy Blue and I added the bird’s feet in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Ag the Birds & Branches stamp set and Autumnal colours

I felt the panel was too bare so I added more branches in the same Cinnamon Cider ink. The ‘leaves’ were inked using the following Stampin’ Write Markers – Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie and Bumblebee.

Using a Sponge, I lightly added Balmy Blue ink to take away the starkness of the background.

Using the Ornate Borders Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut out the dotted border from the strip of Cinnamon Cider ink and added it to the back of the stamped panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Posted on October 10, 2020October 10, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to this months Joy of Sets Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Harvest Time’. If you have hopped on from Fiona Whitehead’s blog – welcome. I have used the sweet Turnovers Stamp set to create a sweet Autumnal pumpkin themed thank you card. This is a reversible set where you use both sides of the same – the front is the outline and the back is the filler.

To recreate the Autumnal Pumpkin card you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Pumpkin Pie – 3 ¾” by 2 ¾” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 3 ½” by 2 ½” – Rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner – for the inside

I began by randomly stamping both outline pumpkins onto the smaller Whisper White panels, one in Terracotta Tile and the other in Cajun Craze ink. I used a Garden Green Marker to ink up the pumpkin stem.

I decided to colour the pumpkins in using Blends Markers – Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody and Old Olive. The background was filled in using the Soft Sea Foam Blends combo Markers.

Lovely Autumn card using the falling leaves image from the Blended Seasons stamp set

Blended Seasons Falling Leaves

Posted on July 31, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am using the gorgeous falling leaves from the Blended Seasons stamp set to make another card. This time I have used some of the new Stampin’ Blends to colour the leaves in.

Making the Falling Leaves card

I started by stamping the sentiment from the Blended Seasons stamp set using Momento Tuxedo Black ink in the lower left corner of a Whisper White panel 4 ¾” by 3 ½”. I then stamped the leaf image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink at the top of the panel and a couple of leaves at the bottom of the panel by the sentiment.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Blended Seasons falling leaves by Stampin’ Up!

I used the light Granny Apple Green, light Daffodil Delight and light Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Blends to colour in the leaves, these pens colour in so smoothly and blend so well and the colours are so vibrant.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Blended Seasons falling leaves by Stampin’ Up!

Taking a scrap of Daffodil Delight cardstock and the Decorative Ribbon Punch I punched a strip3 ½” long and adhered it to the bottom of the Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Blended Seasons falling leaves by Stampin’ Up!

I scored and folded a Thick Whisper White card base and added a 5⅝” by 3⅞” panel of dsp from the Tropical Escape dsp stack using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The stamped panel was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. The card was finished with a scattering of Glitter Enamel Dots

Gorgeous Autumnal colours for an anniversary card

Autumnal Colorful Seasons for an anniversary card

Posted on October 17, 2017October 15, 2017 by Mo Rootes

An Autumnal Colorful Seasons anniversary card made using the Colorful Seasons stamp set. This gorgeous stamp set was out on my desk again today and I used it to make a lovely Anniversary card for my husband.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin Up

I wanted to use the solid leaf images from the stamp set and paired them up with gorgeous Autumnal colours. I took the larger ‘maple leaf’ image and stamped it in Crushed Curry ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”, cleaned the stamp on my fabulous Stampin’ Scrub – couldn’t live without this, and stamped it again in 2^nd generation Cherry Cobbler ink, Pear Pizzazz ink, 2^nd generation Cajun Craze ink and 2^nd generation Rich Razzleberry ink. I added the smaller maple leaf image using the same ink colours in either 1^st or 2^nd generation ink. I added this panel to a layer of Early Espresso cardstock 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. This whole piece was then added to an Old Olive card base, again using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin Up

I stamped the Happy Anniversary from the Number of Years stamp set in Old Olive ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2¾” by 2¾” before running it through the Big Shot with a circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I stamped around the edges of the die cut circle using the same images. I die cut an Early Espresso scalloped circle from a 3” x 3” piece of cardstock and the Layering Circle dies and added it to the back with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Colorful Seasons stamp set by Stampin Up

I added some Fast Fuse to the back of the Early Espresso circle and adhered some messy Copper Metallic Thread. This piece was then added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I like the card and so did my husband……..hooray.
