We ran one of the Basic White panels through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. A length of Pool Party Ribbon was wrapped around the layer before it was glued to the Old Olive card front.

We added Pool Party ink to the die cut Circle using a Blending Brush.  Two trees were then stamped onto the circle, the solid background in Garden Green and the detailed image in Evening Evergreen. The circle was then adhered to the card front.

The large and small trees were die cut from scrap Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Garden Green & Evening Evergreen card. They were glued together and added to the card front n Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto a strip of Basic White card in Evening Evergreen ink. We trimmed it down and flagged the ends with scissors. It was then added to the card front.

We glued the Gold and Silver dsp to the Pool Party panel and added the strip of Sweetest Christmas dsp across the centre.

Using Blending Brushes, we added Pool Party ink and Pear Pizzazz ink to the die cut circle.

The large tree was the stamped in Garden Green (solid background) and Evening Evergreen for the more detailed image. The smaller trees were stamped in Pear Pizzazz and either Mossy Meadow or Evening Evergreen. The stamped circle was then glued to the Garden Green scalloped circle and mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

We stamped the sign in Crumb Cake ink and trimmed it out with scissors before adding it to the card front. We die cut 3 stars from scrap So Saffron card and added them to the trees. A trio of Basic Rhinestones completed the card.

I had prepared a negative circle mask ahead of class which we adhered to the smaller panel of Basic White. We then used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the negative space, peeled the masking paper off and voila…… a soft, blue circle.

The large tree was stamped in the centre of the circle in Garden Green and Evening Evergreen ink and a smaller tree added on each side in Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow.

The greeting was stamped below in Evening Evergreen ink and the panel glued to the Garden Green layer.

The whole piece was then added to the Pool Party card base on Dimensionals and a trio of Iridescent Pearls completed the card.

4 Christmas cards made using the one-sheet wonder technique and the Leaves of Holly stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Holly One-Sheet Wonder for September Classes

We had such fun in classes over the last couple of weeks using the Leaves of Holly stamp set to create a holly one sheet wonder and then cut the sheet apart to create four simple cards.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the holly one sheet wonder cards, you will need:

1 sheet of A4 sheet of Basic White card – to stamp on
4 Card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
4 Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Basic White strip ¾” wide

Creating the one sheet wonder:

We stamped the larger detailed holly leaf using Evening Evergreen ink and added the solid leafy image overtop using Soft Succulent ink. The smaller holly leaf was stamped in the same way using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Smoky Slate ink.

The outline berries were stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink and the in-fill colour added using Polished Pink ink. We added the dotage image from the Painted Poppies stamp set in Soft Sea Foam ink. Finally, we stamped the trio of snowflakes, randomly in Orchid Oasis ink.

Using a Paper Trimmer, we then cut the A4 sheet into 4 equal pieces by cutting it at 5⅞” on the long side and 4⅛” on the short side.

The ladies then chose 4 card bases form the co-ordinating colours – Soft Sea Foam, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Polished Pink, Sweet Sorbet & Orchid Oasis.

Once they had chosen the card bases, they wanted to use, the ladies decided which panels to use for a portrait card and which as a landscape card. They also decided whether to leave the panels whole and plain or to emboss them.

Some chose to cut them into strips 1¼” wide, or from corner to corner diagonally. I cut layers of a co-ordinating card to mount the strips onto.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty Christmas card made using the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and Poinsettia dies

The sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.

The embossed layer was added to the Real Red panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the strip of Heartwarming Hugs added using the same adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Garden Green card front using the same glue.

Using the Poinsettia dies, we cut and embossed the 3 layers of petals from the larger panel of Real Red. We used a sponge Dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink to add depth of colour to the edges of each petal. We used Bone Folders to give the petal shape and adhered the 3 layers together with adhesive.

The flower was added to the card front using liquid adhesive. We used a gorgeous Beaded Pearl to the centre of the flower and a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

To recreate the Poinsettia Spray card, you will need:

Real Red card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded on the long side at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty Christmas card made using the Poinsettia Petals stamp set

We stamped the full poinsettia flower in Cherry Cobbler ink onto one of the Whisper White panels. Prior to the class I had stamped the same image onto a Post It Note and cut it out to use as a mask.

With the mask in place we stamped the outline leaves in Garden Green ink and added the infill colour in stamped off Garden Green ink. The berry sprig was stamped in Soft Suede ink and infilled with Bumblebee ink before the mask was removed.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was added in Garden Green ink.

The poinsettia was coloured using Cherry Cobbler and Real Red Blends Markers and the centre was coloured with Mango Melody Blends.

The stamped panel was glued to the Garden Green layer then added to the Real Red card base on Dimensionals and a trio of Red Rhinestones added to complete the card.

To recreate the Merry Christmas card, you will need:

Thick Whisper White card – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded on the long side at 4⅛”
Soft Suede – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Real Red – 3⅝” by 1⅜”

A beautiful Christmas card made using the pretty Poinsettia Petals stamp set by Stampin' Up!

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty Christmas card made using the Poinsettia Petals stamp set

We used a 1” wide strip of Post It Note and placed it about 1¼” down from the top of the Whisper White panel.

Starting with the largest image we stamped above and below the Post It Note. The leaves and sprigs were added filling in the space above and below the Post It, building up the texture as we went. The colours we used were Real Red, Soft Suede, Bumblebee, Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green and Pool Party. The Post It strip was the removed.

The stamped panel was glued to the Soft Suede layer and then to the Thick Whisper White card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the 1” strip of Whisper White and the panel was mounted on the Real Red layer with glue and then added to the card front on Dimensionals and a trio of Red Rhinestones added to complete the card.

I really hope you like the cards.

Using my paper trimmer I cut the DSP into 4” strips. I then cut these down in different ways to use as card fronts using both sides of the paper.

Having folded and burnished in the score lines we used the ‘spotty stamp’ and Garden Green ink to randomly cover the 2 and 1/16th inch panel.  We stamped the smallest bough in Garden Green ink onto the largest Whisper White panel and adhered it to the inside panel of the card.

We stamped the sentiment using Poppy Parade ink onto the smallest Whisper White panel and die cut it out using the Beautiful Boughs dies.

We inked the medium Whisper White panel using Pool Party ink. The ladies then arranged the die cut boughs and pinecones – I had die cut them ahead of time, adhering them with a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The sentiment panel was then added overtop on Dimensionals and the final boughs and pinecones were tucked underneath.

The decorated panel was adhered to the left side of the card using the Liquid Adhesive. A Poppy Parade Ribbon bow was added to the card front with Mini Glue Dots. The envelope was decorated using the small bough.

Using the Pool Party ink and sponges we inked the Whisper White panel keeping the colour lighter nearer the centre. We stamped the large bough all around the inked panel using Garden Green ink.

The Poppy Parade Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and secured on the back with Sellotape. The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink and die cut. A piece of Braided Twine was fed through the the holes of the sentiment label. The sentiment was adhered over the Poppy Parade Ribbon on Dimensionals and the ends of the twine adhered to the back of the panel with Sellotape.

The panel was adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Graden Green layer before being added to the Thick Whisper White card base.

The’spotty image’ was then stamped randomly in Poppy Parade ink.

The large bough was stamped in the upper right and lower left corners of the Whisper White panel in Garden Green ink. The sentiment was stamped between the boughs with Poppy Parade ink and a scatter of Pool Party dots were stamped over the boughs.

The stamped panel was adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Pool Party layer. The ends of the small strips were flagged and the flags added to the back of the stamped panel.

Using the Poppy Parade ink we stamped the small pinecone in the upper right and lower left corners of the Poppy Parade card base. The stamped layer was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The inner Whisper White panel and Envelope was decorated using the small bough stamp.

I hope you like the cards

www.crafty-rootes.com – Perfectly Plaid stamp set and the Pine Tree Punch used for October classes

We added the dsp to one of Whisper White panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and used the same glue to adhere this panel to the front of the card base. Depending on which dsp they were given the ladies used either a Real Red or Cherry Cobbler card base. The tree was stamped using Call Me Clover ink on the Whisper White panel for the inside of the card, on the envelope and on scrap Whisper White. The tree on the scrap cardstock was punched out using the Pine Tree Punch. The ladies die cut an oval from scrap Whisper White and a Glimmer scalloped oval from either Real Red Glimmer of Gold Glimmer using the layering Oval dies. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink near the bottom of the Whisper White oval. The punched out tree was added above on Dimensionals.

We folded the thin red strip on the scoreline and adhered the long side, with the fold just protruding over the edge, to the inside of the card – where you would normally write your message. Adhere the inside panel over the top of the strip to hide it. We closed the card and brought the flap over and adhered the White oval to the front of the strip and added the Glitter scalloped oval to the back of the flap and the white oval hiding the messy bits and the card is finished.

To recreate the Trio of Trees card you will need:

Blueberry Bushel card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Whisper White – 4⅛” by 2½”
Whisper White – 4⅛” by ½”
Real Red Glimmer paper – 4⅛” by ½”

We randomly stamped the small pinecone in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the front of the Blueberry Bushel card base. The skeleton tree was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink  on the front of the envelope, the large Whisper White panel for the inside, twice on the 2½” Whisper White strip and once on scrap Whisper White – this last one would be punched out. Those with a steady hand added the leaf infill using Call Me Clover ink. The punched tree was added to the 2½” strip on Dimensionals and the red glimmer strip added to the bottom. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped on the thin Whisper White strip in Real Red ink and added to the card front with liquid adhesive. The inside panel was added with the same adhesive.

Using the Stamparatus we stamped the Buffalo Check onto the Whisper White strip using Blueberry Bushel ink. The strip was then glued to one of the Whisper White panels. This was then glued to the card front. We die cut a Whisper White oval and Real Red Glimmer scalloped oval using the Layering Ovals dies. The tree was stamped in Call Me Clover ink onto the white oval and the the sentiment added in Blueberry Bushel ink. The ovals were then adhered and added to the card front with dimensionals.

Making Christmas Bright and the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch used to create a gorgeous set of Christmas cards

Making Christmas Bright for December Classes

Today I am sharing the cards we made at this month’s classes using the gorgeous Making Christmas Stamp set and co-ordinating Christmas Bulb Builder Punch. This is such a fun set to use and so easy and my ladies loved the punch.

Floating Panel Card

We began by stamping the sting of lights onto the top and bottom of a 5” by 3” panel of Whisper White cardstock in Blueberry Bushel ink and adding this stamped piece to a piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock 5⅛” by 3⅛”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Making Christmas Bright and the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch

Using scrap strips of Silver Foil and the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch we punched out 11 bulb tops – 6 for this card and 5 for our last card. We then punched out 4 bulbs in Blueberry Bushel cardstock, 4 in Real Red cardstock and 3 in Pineapple Punch cardstock – 6 for this card and 5 for the last card. We added the bulb tops to the bulbs with a tiny dab of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set them aside to dry. When they were dry we added them to the stamped panel on Stampin Dimesnionals.

On a second piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5” by 3” we stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink and a string of stars in Pineapple Punch ink.

Using the paper trimmer I cut a Blueberry Bushel card base 11¾” by 4⅛” and scored it in half at 5⅞”. Placing the long side up against the top of the trimmer I measured an 1” from the score line and cut. Taking the cut piece cut an inch strip and added the remaining piece to the scrap bag.

We folded the card on the score line and added the Real Red stamped panel with a thin line of glue along the top to the folded flap. The 1” strip of Blueberry Bushel was place on the inside panel of the card, lined up with the bottom and both sides, glue was added to the bottom edge of the Real Red panel and the front panel was pushed down onto the strip to finish the card front. We added Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the back of the inside stamped panel, placed the panel face down on the back of the inside of the card front and closed the card to glue the panel in place and hidden behind the front panel and the card is finished.

Stamped String of Lights card

We began by stamping the star randomly in the top right corner of the Real Red card base in Real Red ink. Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock we stamped the ‘string’ using Memento Tuxedo Black ink in the left hand corner and added 3 bulb tops in the same ink.

The merry and bright bulbs were stamped in Blueberry Bushel, Real Red and Pineapple Punch ink. We then added a scattering in stars in the Real Red and Pineapple Punch inks, rounded the corner with the Detailed Trio Punch before adding to a panel of Pineapple Punch cardstock.

We wrapped a piece of Blueberry Bushel Ribbon around the panel securing the ends with Sellotape on the back and added a bow to the front with a Mini Glue Dot. We added a strip of Blueberry Bushel to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The stamped panel was added to the card front on Stampin Dimensionals.

String of Lights card

We stamped the string on a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 2⅞” and added the previously assembled bulbs using a dimensional on the back of each. We stamped the sentiment in either Blueberry Bushel or Real Red ink in the lower right corner and added the panel to a layer of Blueberry Bushel cardstock measuring 4¼” by 3⅛” with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 3⅛” we placed it in the Stamparatus, inked up the Buffalo Check stamp with Pineapple Punch ink and stamped it on the panel, this gingham check looks fab in the Pineapple Punch ink. We added a strip of Real Red cardstock to one side of the Buffalo Check panel and added the panel to the front of a Pineapple Punch card base. The Christmas Bulb panel was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

These are such bright, fun cards, I love them.
