Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Pretty Birds card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Tahitian Tide card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White and Gold Foil

Using a Blending Brush, I added Tahitian Tide ink to the Basic White panel.

I used 2 nested hexagonal dies from the Beautiful Shapes dies set and die cut 3 frames from scrap Gold Foil card. The gold frames were adhered to the inked Basic White panel. I stamped around the edges with Mossy Meadow ink.

A striking masculine card made using the Ranunculus Romance Stamp set by Stampin' Up! for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Striped Romance card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on June 4, 2022May 28, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we a sharing cards made for the men in our lives. I have gone a bit out of the box and made a striped romance card using the Ranunculus Romance stamp set……… not a set I would normally think of for a masculine style card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the striped romance card, you will need:

Tahitian Tide card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Orchid Oasis card – 4⅝” by 3” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 4½” by 2⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner for the inside
Scrap Basic White & Starry Sky

The long intricate border image was inked up with Tahitian Tide ink and stamped diagonally onto the smaller layer of Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Ranunculus Romance stamp set used to make a masculine card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

I cleaned the stamp on my Simply Shammy and stamped the image again in Starry Sky ink and once more in Orchid Oasis ink.

I repeated the pattern until the whole panel was covered, cleaning the stamp between each change of colour. The stamped panel was then added to the Orchid Oasis layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Ranunculus Romance stamp set used to make a masculine card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

The Tahitian Tide card base looked a little plain so I stamped the image again in Tahitian Tide ink in the upper left and lower right corners before adding the decorative piece on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies. I added a scrap piece of Starry night card behind the sentiment and timed it down to size before adding it to the card front.

In Color Smiles card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on May 30, 2022May 20, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are showcasing the new 2022 – 2024 In-colors. I have made a pretty in-color smiles card using the Sending Smiles stamp set,

Colours used in this project are:

To Recreate the in-color smiles card, you will need:

Sweet Sorbet card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Basic White card – 3¾” by 1½”

Using my Grid Paper and a ruler I measured down 1¼” and using a pencil drew a line across one of the larger panels of Basic White card. I drew another line about 1 ½” lower. This helped me to arrange my stamping.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

I began by stamping the leafy sprig in Parakeet Party above and below the lines. The Sweet Sorbet flower was stamped next.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

The smaller flower in Tahitian Tide ink was used to fill in some of the gaps and the smaller plume added in Orchid Oasis.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

I used Starry Sky ink to add centres to all the flowers. The decorated panel was then glued to the Starry Sky layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the whole panel was added to the Sweet Sorbet card base using the same glue. I used a clean rubber to erase the pencil lines.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sending Smiles stamp set and the new 2022 – 2024 In-Colors used to make a pretty card for the Crafty Challenge Blog

The larger part of the sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink and the smaller sentiment added using Sweet Sorbet………I messed this up and ended up re-stamping it onto scarp Basic white and die cutting it out using one of the labels from the co-ordinating Sending Dies. I added this over the badly stamped words using liquid adhesive. This piece was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

Next, I inked up the leafy image in Old Olive and stamped it around the flowers. The trick is to line up the flower centres.

I wrapped a piece of Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel before gluing it to the Blackberry Bliss card base.

Mosaic Technique card for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on April 14, 2022April 11, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using scraps. I have chosen to share the mosaic technique and scraps of Hand Penned dsp. This card was inspired by a video I saw recently on Youtube by Brigit of Kreativ Stempel

Colours in this project are:

To recreate the mosaic technique card, you will need:

Pale Papaya card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic Black card – 5¼” by 3½”
Misty Moonlight card – 5¼” by 3½”
Hand Penned dsp – rectangles cut at 5¾” by 4” – you need 3 – 4
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic Black & Basic White

Scraps of Hand Penned dsp by Stampin' Up! and used to make a pretty card using the mosiac technique for the Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop

www.crafty-rootes.com – A mosaic technique card made using scraps of Hand Penned dsp for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

I cut each of the rectangles of dsp on the diagonal into triangles. You need about 6 triangles for this card. Choose card stock where the colours work well together.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A mosaic technique card made using scraps of Hand Penned dsp for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

Each triangle was glued onto the Misty Moonlight panel leaving a tiny border between each piece. The excess was trimmed off.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A mosaic technique card made using scraps of Hand Penned dsp for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

I placed the dsp panel on the trimmer with the short side at the top and cut it down into ⅜” strips. The strips were then mixed up and glued onto the smaller Basic Black panel, again leaving a tiny gap between the strips. Cut off the excess and use these pieces to fill in the last couple of rows.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A mosaic technique card made using scraps of Hand Penned dsp for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

The whole piece was then glued to the larger Basic Black panel. I wrapped a strip of Black, Organdy Glittered Ribbon around the panel and adhered it on the back with Sellotape, The whole piece was the added to the Pale Papaya card base with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A mosaic technique card made using scraps of Hand Penned dsp for the Stampin’ Dreams Blog Hop

The sentiment from the Artfully Layered stamp set was stamped on scrap Basic White card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. I punched out a Basic Black tag, cut it in half and added it to the back of the sentiment with a little showing top and bottom. The tag was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I die cut some leaves from scrap Basic Black card using the Bloom Dies and tucked them behind the tag. A trio of Black Matte Dots completed the card.
