Most Wonderful Time

Posted on September 23, 2019September 13, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been playing with the lovely Most Wonderful Time product medley. This medley includes a stamp set, dies, pack of dsp, gold foil card fronts, tinsel ribbon, gold stars and lots of die cut stickers…………so many lovely things to play with.

To recreate the Most Wonderful Time card you will need:

Whisper White – 5⅜” by 2″
Shaded Spruce – 4” by 3”

The panel was then added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Country style Christmas

Posted on September 30, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been making a Country style Christmas card using the fabulous Buffalo Check stamp set and the In the Woods framelit dies.

Making the Country Style Christmas card

I started by getting out my Stamparatus and inking up the Buffalo Check stamp with Poppy Parade ink and stamped it down onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock. I like to use the Stamparatus so that I can stamp repeatedly if I need to.

www.crafty-rootes.com -A country style Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products

When the Poppy Parade ink was dry I added lines using a Mossy Meadow marker, I really like the added interest this gives. I then trimmed the panel down to 5½” by 3¾” using my Paper Trimmer.

www.crafty-rootes.com -A country style Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products

Taking a panel of Mossy Meadow cardstock 5⅝” by 3⅞” I die cut the 2 Christmas tree shapes from the centre then adhered this the stamped panel to a layer of Mossy Meadow. Love that you can use the middle of a panel then cover it up and no-one will ever know!!

www.crafty-rootes.com -A country style Christmas card using Stampin’ Up! products

Using Mini Dimensionals I added the top layer of the tree to the base layer, pulling out the little leafy pieces. I covered the tree in Clear Wink of Stella, you can never have enough bling! I also added some of the gorgeous Red Rhinestones before adhering the tree to the card front. I inked up the sentiment using a Mossy Meadow Marker and stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White and trimmed to fit. I added a strip of Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon adhered on the back of the panel with Sellotape and added a bow using a Mini Glue Dot.
