Beautiful Baubles stamp set and Detailed Baubles dies used for a Christmas Card

Simple Baubles Christmas Card

Today I have been making a Simple Baubles Christmas card using the Beautiful Baubles stamp set and the Tropic Chic dsp.

Making the card

I took a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 3” and stamped the group of baubles from the Beautiful Baubles stamp set in Early Espresso Ink. I added the sentiment from the same stamp set in the same Early Espresso ink.

I stamped the baubles again on a scrap of Whisper White and die cut them using the Detailed Baubles dies and my Big Shot. One of the baubles was then coloured in using the light Real Red and the light Granny Apple Green Blends pens and added it over the top of the other stamped baubles on a dimensional.

I added this stamped layer to a panel of Early Espresso cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a small piece of Real Red Ribbon around the panel.

I glued a piece of Tropical Chic dsp 5⅞” by 1½” to the front of a Real Red card base and stamped the tiny snowflakes randomly across the remaining Real Red cardstock in Real Red ink. The stamped panel was then added using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A very simple Christmas card, I hope you like it.

Bouquet of Lights Christmas cards using Stampin' Up! product

Bouquet of Christmas Lights

Today I am sharing a really sweet card made using a combination of the Making Christmas Bright and County Lane stamp sets to create a bouquet of lights,

Making the card

I started by stamping the sweet jug from the Country Home stamp set in Basic Gray ink onto a scrap of Smoky Slate  cardstock and cut out the body of the jug using my super sharp Paper Snips. I stamped the jug again in Basic Gray onto a panel of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and added a little ‘ground’ using a Blender Pen and some Smoky Slate ink.

I inked up the bunch of balloon strings from the Balloon Celebration stamp set using the basic Gray ink and stamped it inside the jug on the Whisper White layer then added the Smoky Slate stamped jug, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive over the top to hide the ends.

Taking the Christmas Bulb Builder Punch I punched out some bulbs from scraps of Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist, Blueberry Bushel and Coastal Cabana cardstock. I then punched out the bulb fittings from scrap Basic Gray cardstock and adhered the parts together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Finally I coated the bulbs with Clear Wink of Stella……..gorgeous.

The bulbs were adhered over the strings with either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow with a Mini Glue Dot, to hold the ‘strings’ together.

Such a pretty card. I hope you like it

Beautiful Baubles stamp set makes fantastic Christmas cards

Beautiful Bauble November Classes

Today I am sharing the 3 projects made by the ladies during the November classes. We used the gorgeous Beautiful Baubles stamp set and coordinating Detailed Bauble dies. This month I thought I would shake things up a bit by starting with the most complicated card and ending up with the most straightforward card instead of the other way round.

Hanging Bauble card

We began by taking the Coastal Cabana card base and laying a panel of Whisper White measuring 5⅜” by 3⅜” on the front. We then placed the 2nd largest circle die from the Layering Circle Framelits onto the Whisper White panel and ran both layers through the Big Shot together to give us the window. We then ran the die cut Whisper White piece through the Big Shot with the Oh My Stars Embossing folder and set it aside..

Beautiful Baubles stamp set makes fantastic Christmas cards

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Baubles cards for November classes

Taking a die cut circle of Vellum and Sponge Daubers we sponged the centre with Coastal Cabana ink and added Gorgeous Grape around the edge and set the piece aside to dry. I had previously die cut 2 of the detailed baubles for each lady using the Detailed Bauble dies and Silver Foil Paper. These die cuts were placed face down onto the Silicon Craft, We squeezed a little Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the sheet and picked it up with a small wedge of sponge and dabbed it all over both pieces. The coloured Vellum layer was the sandwiched between the 2 sticky layers and pressed together until the glue dried.

We threaded a small piece of ⅛” Whisper White Ribbon through the loop of the bauble and added it to the Coastal Cabana card front with Sellotape allowing the bauble to hang in the ‘window’. The embossed Whisper White layer was then added to the card front with multipurpose liquid adhesive, lining up the die cut window and hiding the ends of the ribbon. We coloured a longer piece of the same ribbon using the dark Highland Heather Blends pen and tied it in a bow before adding it to the top of the bauble with a Mini Glue Dot.

The sentiment from the Star of Light Stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape onto a scrap of Whisper White. This was then added to a scrap of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and trimmed down. It was added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the card front and a scattering of Iridescent Sequins were added.

The inside Whisper White panel was added with the same adhesive after we had stamped some random stars in the upper right corner. We stamped the same stars on the front of a Whisper White Envelope.

Embossed Bauble

We began this card by swiping over a panel of Whisper White card stock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅜” using the Embossing Buddy. We then stamped the large bauble in the centre with Versamark ink. The string was added to the top of the bauble using Versark and the panel was then covered with Silver Embossing Powder. We then melted the embossing powder using the Heat Tool. Love this effect.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Baubles cards for November classes

Taking the following Blends pens we then coloured parts of the bauble – Light & Dark Highland Heather, Light & Dark Bermuda Bay & Light & Dark Pool Party.  The upper right hand panel of the layer was rounded using the Detailed Trio Punch. We also rounded the upper right corner of the card front and a Gorgeous Grape layer measuring 5½” by 3¾”. The embossed panel was glued to the Gorgeous Grape layer with Multipurpose liquid Adhesive.

A strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock, 5⅞” by 2” was added to the front of the Thick Whisper White card base and the embossed layer added with Stampin Dimensionals. The sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto a scrap of Whisper White which was cut down and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The card was finished off with a scattering of Iridescent Sequins.

Row of Baubles

We stamped the tiny snowflakes randomly down the left hand edge of a Bermuda Bay card base using Bermuda Bay ink.  The baubles were stamped in Basic Gray onto a panel of Whisper White measuring 4⅛” by 2½” and stamped the little snowflakes along the top of the panel.

Using a selection of Marker pens, Gorgeous Grape, Bermuda Bay, Highland Heather, Coastal Cabana and Pool  Party, the ladies picked out some areas of the baubles to colour. A thin layer of Silver Foil was added to hide the top of the bauble strings and the panel was added to a layer of Gorgeous Grape cardstock 4⅛” by 2¾” and this was added to the card front on dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped onto the card front with Gorgeous Grape ink and we tucked in strips of Highland Heather, Whisper White and Coastal Cabana cardstock under the raised panel and added the scatter of Iridescent Sequins.

Winter Woods for a Stamp 'N Hop

Winter Woods Stamp ‘N Hop

Stamp 'N Hop Oct title

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp ‘N Hop Oct title

Welcome to October’s Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK. If you have hopped over from the lovely Pia Gerhardt I am sure you loved her project. The theme this month is a Christmas jump start – with this in mind I designed this month’s class projects around the gorgeous Winter Woods stamp set and co-ordinating In the Woods dies.

Row of Trees Card

I began with a panel of Whisper White 5⅛” by 3½”. I inked up the row of trees in Soft Suede ink and added a little of the gorgeous Frost White Shimmer Paint with a Sponge Dauber and stamped across the Whisper White panel twice.

Winter Woods for a Stamp 'N Hop blog hop

www.crafty-rootes.com – Winter Woods for a Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop

Taking the snow bank edgelit from the In the Woods Framelit Dies, I die cut the bottom of the panel before adding the stamped panel to a layer of Soft Suede cardstock 5¼” by 3⅝” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then added the whole piece offset onto a Soft Sea Foam card base on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The greeting from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set was stamped on scrap Whisper White cardstock in Shaded Spruce ink. This was added to the card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. For an bit of extra bling I added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins.

Christmas Tree

I started with a panel of Soft Sea Foam 5⅞” by 3⅞” and stamped the row of trees in Soft Suede ink about half way up the panel. Using Soft Sea Foam ink and the tiny group of stars stamp from the Beautiful Baubles stamp set I stamped randomly above the trees.

Winter Woods for a Stamp 'N Hop

www.crafty-rootes.com – Winter Woods for a Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop

I  ran a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3⅞” by 3” and a piece of Vellum 3⅞” by 2” through the Big Shot with the snow bank edgelit die and added them to the Soft Sea Foam piece with Stampin Dimensionals. I wrapped a piece of the gorgeous Braided Linen Trim around the bottom of the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. I added a bow on the top with a Mini Glue Dot.

Next I die cut the Christmas Tree and the inner part of the tree from a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock 6” by 2⅝” and flipped up the tree flaps and added some Champagne Shimmer Paint with a Sponge Dauber. The tree was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive on the bottom and Dimensionals on the top. The whole panel was then added to a Soft Suede card base with a sprinkling of Iridescent Sequins. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto a scrap of Whisper White and added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Gift Bag

The sweet bag was made using the Gift Bag Punch Board and a panel of Soft Sea Foam 11” by 7” and following the ‘medium’ bag instructions I punched and scored the bag. I trimmed away the excess pieces and stamped the front panel and closing top flap with the Soft Sea Foam ink and the tiny star stamp from the Beautiful Bauble stamp set. I closed the bottom of the bag using Tear & Tape.

Winter Woods for a Stamp 'N Hop

www.crafty-rootes.com – Winter Woods for a Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop

I die cut a snow bank from a piece of Whisper White cardstock and added it to the front of the bag with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped the tree onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3½” by 2” using Shaded Spruce Ink and a little Champagne Shimmer Paint added with a Sponge Dauber. I die cut the tree using the In the Woods Framelit dies and attached it to the box with Dimensionals.

I wrapped some ⅛” Whisper White Ribbon around the bag and tied in a bow and added a scatter of Iridescent Sequins.

I am really happy with these projects, I hope you like them. Please hop on to see what Jo Blackman has to share with us, then take the opportunity to hop around to see the rest of the wonderful inspiration provided by the other lovely demos.

Stamp-a-Stack

Today I am sharing the Stamp-a-Stack projects made by my ladies over the last couple of weeks. I love these events and these 2 days were particularly relaxed and easy going. As usual we had 5 project tables and the ladies moved from table to table during the day completing the cards, 2 each of 2 different designs on each table. The cards were designed around the Festive Farmhouse dsp pack which each lady was given on arrival along with a pack of Red Rhinestones and all the prepared cardstock and envelopes for all the projects. The ladies all provided their own favourite adhesive. Here are the sample cards from each table.

3 fun sweater themed Christmas cards

Christmas Sweaters for October Classes

The Christmas Sweaters stamp set made for great projects at classes this we made 3 gorgeous cards and got covered in red ink and glitter……………….what’s not to like…..

Quirky Christmas card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

We started with a simple card, stamping the adorable ‘fairy light sweater’ image using Momento Tuxedo Black ink across a panel of Whisper White 5⅞” by 1¾”. We then randomly coloured in the lights using Real Red, Pool Party and So Saffron ink pads and Blender Pens. After colouring we added the stamped piece to a layer of Pool Party 5⅞” by 2” and then to a Real Red layer 5⅞” by 2¼” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

We stamped the sentiment from the Star of Light stamp set using Real Red ink onto the Thick Whisper White card base before adding the stamped panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. This would be a great card to mass produce.

Christmas jumpers for a seasonal card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

For the second card we stamped the ‘gingerbread’ jumper using the Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock. We coloured it in using Real Red, Pool Party, Crumb Cake and So Saffron ink pads and Blender Pens before using a circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies and the Big Shot to cut it out. We also die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from Real Red cardstock using the Layering Circle dies and glued the 2 layers together. The scalloped circles were added to one of the gorgeous Foil Snowflakes.

We stamped the jumper randomly onto a Pool Party panel 5⅜” by 3⅝”using Pool Party ink then wrapped a length of ⅛” Real Red Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to a Pool Party card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back of the Foil Snowflake and the piece was added to the card front. To finish the card we added a bow made using the ⅛” Real Red Ribbon and adhered it using a Mini Glue Dot.

Gorgeous Santa sweater card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Christmas Sweaters stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

We used the ‘Santa Sweater’ to make the third card. The image was stamped using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and die cut using a square from the Stitched Shapes framelit dies. The sweater was then coloured in using the Real Red Marker Pen. We added colour to Santa’s glasses using the Crumb Cake ink pad and added colour to Santa’s face using a Calypso Coral Watercolor Pencil and the Blender Pens. He is such a jolly looking chap……. We covered his beard, mustache, eyebrows, hat brim and bobble with a thin coating of Tombow which we spread thinly using a cotton bud and covered it in Dazzling Diamonds Glitter………gorgeous. The stamped panel was added with Tombow to a square of Pool Party cardstock die cut using the Layering Squares dies.

We took a panel of Whisper White 5¼” by 3½”, inserted the lower right hand corner into the Winter Wonder Embossing Folder and ran it through the Big Shot. We then randomly stamped the rest of the panel with the tiny stars from the Star of Light stamp set using Pool Party Ink. Two pieces of ⅛” Real Red Ribbon were then wrapped around the top of the panel and secured with Sellotape on the back. The stamped panel was then added with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Star of Light stamp set was stamped in Real Red ink onto a scrap of Pool Party cardstock, the end was flagged with scissors and added to the card front with Tombow.

Merry Patterns – a Deer in a Jumper

I have been playing today with the gorgeous Merry Patterns stamp set which has this gorgeous image with a deer in a jumper……..I kid you not! This is a set you cannot buy; it can only be earned with a £250 order. Lucky me, I had a large order going in for my September Stamp-a-Stack and was able to get this set……..whoo hoo.

Deer in a jumper

www.crafty-rootes.com – Merry Patterns stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I love the deer image and decided to use my markers to colour it in so that I could show off the lovely patterns on the jumper. I chose to use Whisper White cardstock and used the Chocolate Chip Marker for the head, antlers, legs and tail of the deer and Real Red Marker and Tranquil Tide Marker for the jumper.

Stampin Up Merry Patterns stamp set

www.crafty-rootes.com – Merry Patterns stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I was really happy with how the deer looked. I cut the deer out using the Layering Circle Dies and backed the circle with a slightly larger scalloped circle, cut from Real Red cardstock and a die from the same set.

Stampin Up Merry Patterns

www.crafty-rootes.com – Merry Patterns stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I took a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and glued half of a gorgeous silver Foiled Snowflake to it. You get 24 of these gorgeous snowflakes per pack, 12 in silver and 12 in gold.  I wrapped a piece of ⅛” Silver Metallic Ribbon to hide the top edge of the cut snowflake, adhering the ribbon to the back of the Whisper White panel with Sellotape. I added the whole piece to the card front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The stamped deer topper was then added over the snowflake and ribbon on Stampin Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped below using Real Red ink. I used a Mini Glue Dot to add a bow made from the ⅛” Silver Metallic Ribbon to add a little shine. Hope you like today’s project.

This stamp set really is lovely and I am looking forward to using the candle image next so look out for that post.
