Lovely You card for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on July 25, 2022July 17, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a colour challenge to work with. I have used the Lovely You stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the lovely you card, you will need:

Granny Apple Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Melon Mambo card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 5 ¾” by 3½” – rounded lower left corner
Basic White card – 2½” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left corner – for the inside

I die cut a stitched circle from the smallest piece of Basic White card using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I placed the die cut circle onto the smaller piece of Basic White card and roughly drew a circle around it.

I stamped the leaves and flowers in Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay ink, taking care to position the ends inside the pencil circle. I then ran the stamped panel through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder.

The embossed panel was then glued to the Melon Mambo layer and then to the Granny Apple Green card front.

The sentiment form the Cottage Rose stamp set was inked up using a Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo marker. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped it down on the die cut circle.

The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals and a trio of Glossy Dots added to the flower centres. Another trio of Glossy Dots completed the card.

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”

Vellum – 5¼” by 3½”

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.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Bottled Happiness stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used to make a masculine style card

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.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Bottled Happiness stamp set by Stampin’ Up! used to make a masculine style card

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.

A pretty floral card made using the pretty Vintage Christams stamp set for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Vintage Bottle card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Posted on June 23, 2022July 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we have been given a colour challenge. I have chosen to use one of the sets I pre-ordered from the July – December Mini Catalogue called Vintage Christmas. I do love a set that co-ordinates with something I already have and this set pairs with the Vintage Bottle Punch.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Vintage Bottle card, you will need:

Melon Mambo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 3¾” by 2⅜”
Basic White card – 4” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 1½” by 1½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

I began by stamping the taller bottle with Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card and punching it out using the Vintage Bottle Punch.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using Tahitian Tide ink, I stamped the smaller bottle onto the 4” by 2¾” panel of Basic White card. I placed the punched bottle overlapping the stamped bottle, for placement and stamped the trio of flowers in Melon Mambo ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using Parakeet Party ink, I stamped the single sprig around the flowers. I deliberately didn’t ink up the berries at the base of the sprig. The flower centres were added using the same ink. The tall bottle was then glued to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was then die cut using a Stitched Rectangle Die. The stitched rectangle was then glued to the Starry Sky panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using the trio of flowers, I stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Melon Mambo card base using Melon Mambo ink. At this point I decided I needed more white in the background so I cut the 1½” square of Basic White card on the diagonal and added one triangle to the upper left corner and the other to the lower right corner of the stamped panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

The stamped piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals. The sentiment, from the Cup of Tea stamp set was inked up in Starry Sky ink and stamped onto scrap Basic White card. I then trimmed it out, flagging the ends before I added it to the card front.

A bow made from the In Color Twine and a trio of Glossy Dots completed the card.

When the layer was quite saturated, I added Polished Pink ink to the lower third, then added Crushed Curry ink in the middle and finished with Blushing Bride ink. I laid the panel aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A water-coloured wash card made using the Blessings of Home stamp set for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The large image from the Blessings of Home stamp set was inked up with StaZon Black ink and stamped the image over the water-coloured panel.

I glued the water-coloured panel to the Polished Pink layer using Seal + and added the panel to the Blushing Bride card base on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A water-coloured wash card made using the Blessings of Home stamp set for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment was stamped in the same black ink onto the strip of Shimmery White card. I masked off the part of the sentiment I didn’t want. The end was flagged and the sentiment added to the card front with Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive.

Here is a masculine card made for the Inspire. Create challenge #035 using the Well Dressed stamp set. This time it is a colour challenge – Night of Navy, Crumb Cake and a colour of your choice, I chose Balmy Blue.

Whisper White – 5¼” by 3½”

Scrap Whisper White

I placed the panel of Whisper White – 5¼” by 3½” onto the Stamparatus, lined up the patterned stamp and picked it up with the door. I inked the stamp with Balmy Blue ink, moved the door plate over one slot, inked it up and stamped again repeating this across the panel.

The collar and tie were stamped in Night of Navy ink onto the smallest piece of Whisper White card stock. The collar was coloured in using the light Balmy Blue Blends Marker. This panel was then added to the smaller Night of Navy piece using the same liquid glue. The same glue was used to glue the whole panel to the Crumb Cake card base.

The balloons and the tops of the ballons were then punched out using the co-ordinating Hot Air Balloon Punch. I then cut away the top part of the partial balloons, mixed up the colours glued the pieces together with Dimensionals.

I punched 3 ‘baskets’ from the Silver Foil layer taking care to stay away from the edge. The baskets were attached to the bottom of each balloon using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The clouds were inked up with Blueberry Bushel ink, stamped off x 2 onto the Grip Paper then stamped randomly onto one of the Whisper White panels.

The balloons were added on to to the cloud stamped layer with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole topper was the glued to the Silver Foil piece.

After rubbing a piece of scrap Blueberry Bushel cardstock with my embossing buddy I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink, covered the ink with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I flagged the end with scissors and added it to the card front.
