After cutting the piece of Daffodil Afternoon dsp to the sizes given above, we adhered each piece to the slightly larger Daffodil Delight layer.

These panels were then added t the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment, from the Elegantly Said stamp set was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small panel of Very Vanilla card and punched out using the Tailored Tag Punch. We backed this with a Basic Black punched piece cut in half and added to the back. The sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

This is such a simple card to put together and is a great way to use dsp.

We cut ½” strips from our dsp sheets and added them to the Very Vanilla strip with glue. The excess pieces were trimmed off with scissors.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies we die cut the scalloped border on one side of the Pear Pizzazz panel and added the panel of dsp strips with liquid glue.

We placed the piece on the card front for placement before stamping the sentiment in Old Olive ink.

A piece of the black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and the whole panel was then added to the Very Vanilla card front on Dimensionals. A bow made from the same ribbon was added to finish the card.

Today I am sharing a trio of sweet cards designed for my True Love Class in the mail. I used the gorgeous True Love designer Series paper (dsp) and offered the ladies a choice of 3 different colours. I also offered Blends Markers in Granny Apple Green and their choice of colour.

Colours used in these projects are:

Scattered Daisy Cards

Colour in some of the flowers on the dsp, keeping it as random as possible.

Wrap the ribbon around the panel and secure the ends on the back with Sellotape. Add the dsp to the coloured card stock layer then to the Basic White card base. I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive for this.

The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped on the label which had been die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The ladies used sentiments and inks from their own stash. The sentiment panel was added over the ribbon using Dimensionals.

A bow was added to complete the card.

Flowers on a Gold Hoop card

Add the Gold Hoop to the embossed layer using tiny dabs of wet glue to the back or some tape runner.

Fussy cut the flowers from the True Love dsp – or use the pre-cut ones included in the pack. Colour them in and add these to the gold hoop on Dimensionals.

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.
Garden Green – 5½” by 3¾” – 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”
Whisper White – 3⅝” by 1”

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.

Coming Home stamp set and Homecoming dies used for September 2020 classes - such a versatile set

Coming Home Bundle used for September Classes

Posted on September 11, 2020September 10, 2020 by Mo Rootes

It was such fun being able to hold a couple of small, socially distanced classes this week and so lovely to see some of my lovely crafting friends and catch up with their news. I decided to kick classes off by using the very versatile Coming Home stamp set and Home Together dies.

To recreate the new Coming Home card you will need

Gray Granite card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored on the long side at 4⅛”
Gray Granite – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Whisper White – 4 ¼” by 3 ¼”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Scarp Whisper White, Poppy Parade and Misty Moonlight

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty trio of cards made using the Coming Home Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

This card was CASE’d from my lovely upline Mikaela Titheridge – check out her original here – with a few tweaks of my own.

We embossed the Gray Granite layer using the Brick and Mortar embossing folder and glued it to the Gray Granite card base.

I had die cut ahead of time the stitched rectangle using the Stitched So Sweetly dies. The ladies stamped the medium and small house onto the rectangle in Gray Granite ink and added the panel to the card front.

The larger house and the small tree were stamped in the same ink and die cut using the Home Together dies. The following Blends were used to colour in the die cut house and tree – Gray Granite, Just Jade, Poppy Parade, So Saffron, Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue. The house was them added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I had die cut the heart for the ladies and the words ‘hooray and welcome’ from the Well Written dies. The ladies trimmed off the HO of hooray and the OME of welcome and glued the o’s one on top of the other to create the word HOME. The word New came from the Well Said stamp set – -time for a NEW adventure and was stamped on scrap Whisper White and trimmed out with scissors. To complete the card we added a White Baker’s Twine bow.

To recreate the row of cars card you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored on the long side at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight – 5¾” by 4” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5¾” by 1½”
Poppy Parade – 6” by 1 ½”
Scrap Whisper White

I made this card for the son of a friend who has just passed his driving test.

We embossed the Misty Moonlight panel using the brick and Mortar embossing folder and added it to the Thick Whisper White card front.

The car were stamped across the thin strip of Whisper White card in Gray Granite ink leaving space to add the final card after it had been stamped, die cut and coloured.

The Poppy Parade border was cut using the Ornate Borders dies and added to the back of the stamped layer. The whole strip was then added to the card front.

We stamped the sentiment from the Well Said stamp set on a scrap strip of Whisper White in Misty Moonlight ink. The negative scallop from the Poppy Parade border was added as a little pop of colour. To finish we wrapped a piece of Linen Thread around the sentiment and tied it in a bow.

To recreate the Snowy House card you will need:

Just Jade card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored on the long side at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – for the inside – rounded upper left corner – one for the inside and one for the outside
Scrap Whisper White

The final card is a Christmas card – yay…… We used a blending brush (you could use a wedge of sponge or a dauber) to add Balmy Blue ink to one of the Whisper White panel. The panel was then added to the Misty Moonlight layer.

We stamped the house and large tree in Gray Granite ink onto scrap Whisper White card and die cut them. They were coloured in using the same Blends Markers.

The houses were positioned on the card front and snowflakes were stamped around the roof before the house and tree were stuck down with Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink.

A piece of Poppy Parade ribbon was wrapped around the layer and tied in a bow. The whole panel was then added to the Just Jade card front.
