Bottles card for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Posted on July 10, 2022July 9, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using the following colour combination:

I am using the very versatile Bottled Happiness stamp set to make my card today.

To recreate the bottles card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
Vellum – 5¼” by 3½”
Starry Sky card – 2¼” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 2” by 2”

I stamped the bottle all over one of the 5½” by 3¾” panels of Basic White card in Soft Succulent, Pacific Point and Starry Sky inks. The images were stamped either vertically or horizontally. The stamped panel was adhered to the larger Basic White panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added the vellum panel over the top secured with a strip of Seal + placed where my sentiment would hide it.

I wrapped a length of Starry Sky Woven Metallic Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Soft Succulent card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the square of Basic White card. It was then die cut using one of the Stylish Shapes Dies. A slightly larger circle was die cut from the Starry Sky square using the same set of Dies. The circles were adhered together with liquid glue and added to the card front on Mini Glue Dots.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the strip of Design a Daydream dsp to the bottom of the Basic White panel. I added the panel with the same adhesive to the Daffodil Delight layer.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A gorgeous in color bottled happiness card made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I wanted to have 2 colours of flowers in the bouquet so added the Sweet Sorbet and Orchid Oasis inks using the 2022 – 2024 In Color Stamp ‘n Write Markers. Such a great technique. The leaves were then added in Parakeet Party ink.

This panel was then added to the Orchid Oasis panel with Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive.

At this point I decided I needed some of the smaller bottles in the picture. I initially tried masking off the original bottle but wasn’t happy with the results and ended up stamping the bottles in Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet ink onto scrap Basic White card and fussy cutting them out. The Sweet Sorbet bottle was cut down and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the Starry Sky bottle added on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A gorgeous in color bottled happiness card made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

I stamped the floral image in the upper left and lower right corner of the Tahitian Tide card front using Tahitian Tide ink. The stamped panel was then added with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the strip of Basic White, trimmed down and flagged before it was added to the card front.

A bow made from the Starr Sky Ribbon and a trio of the 2022 – 2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots were added to complete the card.

Posted on November 22, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

This week’s GDP #165 challenge is to make a project using the colours; Crumb Cake, Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide. I have to say these aren’t colours I would normally gravitate towards but I really enjoyed using them. This is what I came up with.

Making the card

I chose the Half Full stamp set and stamped the bottles in the Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide onto Very Vanilla cardstock and added a layer of Merry Merlot behind having rounded the upper right corners………love a rounded corner!

Bubble Over stamp set for a masculine card

Bubble Over Masculine card

Posted on September 9, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have making a masculine card using the Bubble Over stamp set, an old favourite of mine for this type of card.

Making the Bubble Over card

I began by placing a 4⅛” by 2¾” piece of Whisper White into my Stamparatus, inked up my Buffalo Check stamp with Poppy Parade ink and stamped down then set the stamped piece to one side to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used for a masculine card

I took a Gray Granite card base – love this colour – and stamped the bubble image in Gray Granite ink across two thirds of the card front starting on the left hand side. I then added the Poppy Parade checked piece to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used for a masculine card

I stamped the large bottle from the Bubble Over Stamp set in Gray Granite ink onto a crap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut it out using my Big Shot and the co-ordinating Bottles & Bubbles dies. I die cut the largest bottle label from a small scrap of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Poppy Parade ink before adding it to the die cut bottle with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The bottle was added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Birthday card using Stampin' Up! product

Bottles & Bubbles His & Hers cards for a team challenge

Posted on March 6, 2018February 28, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Every month our team are set a challenge by our lovely upline Mikaela Titheridge – thecraftyoinkpen.co.uk – This month’s challenge was to create a card for a girl and a card for a guy using the same layout. We are allowed to use a different stamp set or dies for each card but the layout has to be recognisably the same.

I chose to use the gorgeous Bottles and Bubbles Framelit Dies for both cards and started by die cutting a number of the large and small bottles from Whisper White cardstock using the Bottles and Bubbles Framelit dies. I also cut out a large bottle in Pacific Point cardstock and Rose Red cardstock.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubbles and Bottles Framelit dies for a birthday card

Taking 2 pieces of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I placed the Pacific Point bottle on one layer and the Rose Red bottle on the other then randomly laid out the die cut white bottles to fill the remaining space. Although the layout was the same I had already decided to have one card portrait style and the other landscape.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubbles and Bottles Framelit dies for a birthday card

Originally I planned to pop up the coloured bottles on Stampin’ Dimensionals but I didn’t like how that looked; instead all the bottles were adhered to the Whisper White panel using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I used scissors to trim off the over-hanging die cut bottles.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubbles and Bottles Framelit dies for a birthday card

The male, Pacific Point version was added to a Thick Whisper White card base and the Rose Red version to a Rose Red card base in the same way. I stamped the sentiment from the Bird Banter stamp set onto 2 strips of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by ⅜”, one using Pacific Point Ink, the other in Rose Red ink. I banner ended both pieces using Scissors but ended cutting the Pacific Point version down to about 1½”.

Row of Bottles Bubble Over

Posted on February 9, 2018February 4, 2018 by Mo Rootes

I seem to have a bit of a theme going on this week as today’s project started with the negative image left after die cutting a row of Bottles using the Bottles and Bubbles dies. It was the perfect size to fit a card front and I couldn’t resist adding some fun colours.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bouquet stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I had planned to raise the Chocolate Chip die cut layer on Stampin’ Dimensionals but the strips between the bottles were just too narrow; I ended up gluing it to the Thick Whisper White card base with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I then used Post It Notes to mask off each bottle in turn and added colour to the negative image using Sponge Daubers. I used Berry Burst ink, Lemon Lime Twist ink, Bermuda Bay ink, Calypso Coral ink and Pacific Point ink keeping the colour darkest at the bottom of each bottle. I then stamped the bubble image on each bottle in the co-ordinating ink colour.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bouquet stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

The bottle tops were die cut from a scrap of Silver Foil and added to the top of each bottle with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added the sentiment from the Party Pandas stamp set, stamped in Chocolate Chip ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock in the bottom left hand corner – to cover a small miss stamp – ssshhh don’t tell………no–one will ever know!!

Beautiful Bouquet Spray for an anniversary

Posted on February 6, 2018February 4, 2018 by Mo Rootes

We are using the gorgeous Beautiful Bouquet for classes this month and I have been using the set over the last few days to make some samples for my inspiration table. I love the versatility of the set, it is so easy to make a clean and simple card or you can go mad with layering for a totally different look. I also love the many sentiments this set comes with; the font is so dainty, just beautiful.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bouquet stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I wanted to make a card featuring a floral spray rather than a bouquet and with a very simple colour palette. My starting point was the 2 circles which were left over from another project, one in Champagne Foil and the other from the Wood Textures dsp!

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bouquet stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I inked up the flower stamp with Night of Navy ink and stamped it 4 times onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock without re-inking. I love that we can get 3 or 4 different shades of the same colour from an ink pad. I did the same thing with Bermuda Bay ink and then die cut all of the flowers using the co-ordinating Beautiful Bunch dies. I love Lemon Lime Twist with both Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy and chose to die cut the leaves from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. I added a ½” strip of Night of Navy cardstock and a ⅜” strip of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock to ground the circles which I had adhered slightly off centre.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bouquet stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink onto a Thick Whisper White cardstock and added the leaves and flowers using a combination of Tombow Liquid Adhesive and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I wanted to add a little more shimmer to the card but could find something I liked; then I spotted some Champagne Foil scraps and used these to punch out small ⅛” and ¼” circles using the Hand Held Circle punches. I glued these down with Tombow.

Love this card so much. Hope you like it as well.

Bubble Over for January Classes

Posted on January 12, 2018January 11, 2018 by Mo Rootes

For January’s classes we used the very quirky and versatile Bubble Over stamp set and the co-ordinating Bottles & Bubbles Framelit dies, the ladies loved them. As their table gift I gave each lady as 6” by 6” sample pack of the co-ordinating Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper (dsp) which is available as a free Sale-a-Bration item with a £45 order.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles dies by Stampin’ Up!

We started the first card by die-cutting a large and small bottle from one of the Bubble & Fizz dsp sheets. I love that the dies can be used to cut out the dsp patterns in this way. We stamped the ‘bubble’ image in Lemon Lime Twist ink randomly across the upper third of a strip of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2½”. The prototype card in the picture shows the bubbles in Daffodil Delight ink but we decided we preferred the Lemon Lime Twist. The sentiment – either Love You or Thank You – from the Baby Bear stamp set was then stamped at the bottom of the panel in Bermuda Bay ink. We took a small piece of Lemon Lime Twist striped ribbon, about 4”, and wrapped it around the white panel securing on the back with Sellotape. The ladies then chose a pattern from the dsp and cut 2 strips each 6” by ½”, they then glued the strips on either side of the Whisper White panel. This panel was then adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The die cut bottles were then adhered to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles dies by Stampin’ Up!

For the second card the ladies chose a piece of dsp and using the Stampin’ Trimmer cut it to 5⅜” by 3⅝”. This panel was then added at an angle, or catawampus to a Lemon Lime Twist card base. On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock the ladies stamped the larger bottle using Archival Basic Gray ink and a Stampin’ Pierce Mat to get a good image. We also stamped the label in Lemon Lime Twist ink and the sentiment was added on top in Archival Basic Gray ink. These pieces were then die cut using the Big Shot and they also die cut one of the cute little bottle caps. The label and bottle cap were glued to the front of the bottle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” the ladies die cut an oval using the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies. This panel was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the die cut bottle was added using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Tombow glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles dies by Stampin’ Up!

Thirdly we made a bottle tag starting with a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock 8¼” by 2½” which we scored using the Stampin’ Trimmer (love that it cuts and scores) at 5½”. Taking a 1¼” Circle Punch we punched a hole roughly in the centre of the smaller side. At the bottom of the longer side we cut a shallow banner using scissors. The ladies then chose a piece of dsp and cut it to 4½” by 2⅜” and adhered it above the banner point. Bubbles were then stamped in either Lemon Lime Twist ink or Bermuda Bay ink across the top and down one side of a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4¾” by 1½” and this piece was added to the tag on top of the dsp. Taking a scrap Whisper White cardstock the ladies stamped the larger bottle in Archival Basic Gray ink, the label in Calypso Coral ink and the sentiment in Archival Basic Gray. These pieces were then die cut using the Bottles and Bubble Framelit dies along with one of the cute straws. The labels and straw were then added with Tombow Liquid Adhesive to the die cut bottle and the bottle added with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the bottle tag.

To finish off the projects the ladies added some of the mini sequins taken from the Silver Sequin Trim using the Fine-Tip Liquid Adhesive.

The ladies loved the projects and I want to thank them for all the fun, laughter and chat this week.
