A Trio of Festive Cheer Cards – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on October 10, 2026October 3, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing beginner to avid cards. Starting with a simple card that a beginner would enjoy putting together and using the same rough layout to create a stepped-up version for the casual crafter with a little more experience and ‘stuff’ to make. Finally, designing a card for the avid crafter with lots of layers and bits. I have made my cards using the Festive Cheer stamp set and dies with the Everyday Arches dies.

Colours used to make these cards are:

Beginner Card

Hydrangea Hue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored on the long-side at 4⅛”
Night of Navy – 4⅞ by 3⅛”
Basic White – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I stamped the outline bauble image onto the smaller panel of Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. The infill colour was added using Hydrangea Hue ink.

The bauble topper was added with Daffodil Delight ink; the hanging cord was stamped in Night of Navy and the bow stamped with Hydrangea Hue ink.

I added a scattering of snowflakes with 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight ink. The sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy ink.

The stamped panel was glued to the Night of Navy panel and then to the Hydrangea Hue card front.

A trio of Sunset Sparkle Sequins finished the card.

Casual Card

Hydrangea Hue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored on the long-side at 4⅛”
Night of Navy – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White – 4¾” by 3”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

I wanted to add a bit of interest to the card base so stamped the ‘falala’ sentiment in Hydrangea Hue ink on either side of the card base.

Using a Blending Brush I added Daffodil Delight ink to the smaller panel of Basic White card. I stamped the hanging cord, twice with Night of Navy ink onto the inked area.

I stamped the outline bauble images onto the scrap Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. The infill colour was added with either Hydrangea Hue or Daffodil Delight ink.

I stamped a bauble topper with Daffodil Delight ink and Night of Navy ink. The baubles and toppers were then die cut using the Festive Cheer dies. I glued the toppers to the baubles and mounted them onto the card with Dimensionals, both standard and mini.

I added a scattering of snowflakes with 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight ink. The sentiment was stamped with Night of Navy ink.

The stamped panel was glued to the Night of Navy panel and then to the Hydrangea Hue card front.

A trio of Sunset Sparkle Sequins finished the card.

Avid Card

Hydrangea Hue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored on the long-side at 4⅛”
Night of Navy – 5¼” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5” by 3½”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Hydrangea Hue & Night of Navy

I stamped the ‘falala’ sentiment in Hydrangea Hue ink across the top of the card base.

From the smaller panel of Basic White and the panel of Night of Navy I die cut two nesting arches using the Everyday Arches dies. Using a Blending Brush I added Daffodil Delight ink to the Basic White die cut arch and stamped the sentiment with Night of Navy ink.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the outline of a selection of baubles using Night of Navy ink. The infill colour was added to the baubles using either Hydrangea Hue or Daffodil Delight ink. The baubles were then die cut out. The bauble toppers were die cut from scrap Daffodil Delight and Night of Navy. Using the same scrap card, I die cut a Daffodil Delight and Night of Navy bow.

I adhered a scrap of Adhesive Sheet to a scrap piece of Night of Navy card and die cut the hanging cords. I also die cut a pine bough from scrap Hydrangea Hue card.

The pine bough was adhered to the Basic White arch and the hanging cords added with the tops tucked under the bow and the ends trimmed down.

I glued the toppers to the baubles and mounted them onto the card with either Liquid Glue or Dimensionals, both standard and mini. I added a scattering of snowflakes with 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight ink. The bows were then added to a couple of the baubles.

The stamped arch was then glued to the Night of Navy arch and then to the Hydrangea Hue card front. A trio of Sunset Sparkle Sequins finished the card.

Using Sponge Daubers I added ink to the reverse of the embossed panel. I used Lemon Lolly, Berry Burst, Timid Tiger and Coastal Cabana inks. The Sponge Daubers add the ink unevenly to the image and I really like the distressed effect it gives.

Next, I dragged my Secret Sea ink pad across the coloured reverse of the panel, love the way the colours pop against the dark colour.

Multicoloured Vases Card – Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on May 22, 2026May 22, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are creating projects inspired by a colour challenge. I have made my card using the pretty Garden Gatherings stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the multicoloured vases card using the following supplies:

Garden Green card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Azure Afternoon – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 1¼”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Berry Burst, Poppy Parade, Azure Afternoon & Garden Green

I used the Dotted Lines Masks, Blending Brush and Azure Afternoon ink to add a little texture to the background of the 5⅜” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card. The panel was then adhered to the Azure Afternoon layer and then to the Garden Green card front.

I die cut an arch from the 2½” by 1¼” piece of Basic White card. I stamped the sentiment with Azure Afternoon ink. I stamped each word individually, masking the other word one at a time. The arch was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
