I used the Scalloped Rectangle dies to cut a partial rectangle from the 3” by 3” panel of Basic White card.

The outline glasses from the Brewed For You stamp set were stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card. The infill image was stamped in Sweet Sorbet ink. The glasses were then die cut using the Brewed dies. The glasses were added to the partial rectangle, slightly overlapping.

Using the So Refreshing dies, I die cut leaves from Parakeet Party scrap and strawberries from scrap Sweet Sorbet card. These were tucked around the die cut glasses.

I flagged the end of a scrap of Parakeet Party and Sweet Sorbet card. The partial scalloped rectangle was then glued to the card front and the flagged strips tucked underneath.

Partial Die Cut Bird card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on June 3, 2023May 29, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects featuring partial die-cutting techniques. I have chosen to use the Aspen dies and the Perched In A Tree stamp set to make a get well card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the partial die cut bird card, you will need:

Lemon Lime Twist card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Stargazing dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

The bird from the Perched In A Tree stamp set was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto the 5” by 3½” panel of Basic White card. I placed the bird die in position and used a bit of washi tape to secure it in position. In the Cut and Emboss Machine I placed the top C plate in position covering only the top of the bird and stopping at the feet. I ran it through and then cut off the excess card either side of the bird with my trimmer.

Using the following Blends Pens I coloured in the bird – Petal Pink, Lemon Lime Twist, Pebbled path and the Color Lifter.

I added the branch from the Sweet Songbird stamp set in 2^nd generation Pecan Pie ink and added leaves in Granny Apple Green ink. At this point I decided I would cut down the image using the largest of the stitched circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used a Blending Brush to add a little Boho Blue ink to the semicircle which helps to ground the piece.

The panel of Stargazing dsp was adhered to the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I wrapped 2 lengths of Parakeet Party Metallic Open Weave around the panel securing them on the back with Seal+ and added some of the Lime Lime Twist Ribbon from the Duo pack in between. The panel was then glued to the Lemon Lime Twist card base.

The die cut bird was then added over the ribbon on Dimensionals. And a trio of 2023 – 2025 In Color Dots were added around the topper.

The sentiment, from the Ringed With Nature stamp set was stamped onto scrap Pebbled Path card in Versamark ink, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set. The panel was then trimmed down with Scissors and added to the card front.

A very bright and cheerful card. I hope you like it.

The cute koala image was stamped in memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the small square of Basic White card. This was then die-cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Count on Me Stamp set and Dandy Designs dsp used to make a pretty Koala themed get well card

Using the same dies, I die-cut a larger circle from the Rich Razzleberry square to add behind the stamped image. I felt the piece needed something else so die-cut a scalloped circle, a tiny bit bigger than the white circle from the square of Blushing Bride card. The three pieces were the glued together.

The sentiment from the Nature’s Harvest stamp set was inked up with Rich Razzleberry ink and stamped below the dsp strips. I used a Post It Note to mask off the part of the sentiment I didn’t want.

Perennial Essence sneak peek

Posted on May 3, 2019May 1, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made using some of the Make & Take supplies from OnStage. I hardly ever get around to making the projects up on the day, usually too busy talking……… When I do get around to making them up I often go rogue and create something different with the supplies we were given. Here is the card made using some of the supplies from the Perennial Essence suite.

Recreating the Perennial Essence dsp card

Blackberry Bliss card base 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower left corner
Whisper White cardstock 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – rounded lower left corner
Perennial Essence dsp – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded lower left corner

www.crafty-rootes.com -Perennial Essence dsp for a sweet get well card

I trimmed down the designer series paper (dsp) panel from the Make & Take pack to the size I needed, rounded the lower left corner with the Detailed Trio Punch. I adhered the dsp to Whisper White panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Perennial Essence dsp for a sweet get well card

I wrapped a length of the Polka Dot Tulle around the panel and attached it on the back with Sellotape. The whole panel was then glued to the Blackberry Bliss card base with the liquid adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the Dandelion Wishes stamp set it Blackberry Bliss onto the small square of Whisper White cardstock and glued it to the square of Blackberry Bliss cardstock with the liquid adhesive. This piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The baby wipe technique used to make a floral get well card

Beautiful Promenade/Baby wipe technique reprised

Posted on April 30, 2019April 29, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Here is another card made using the gorgeous Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the same handmade ink pad that I used for the blog hop earlier this week. I couldn’t help but try out another couple of things while the ink was still fresh.

To recreate the Beautiful Promenade card

Crumb Cake card base – 8½” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Gorgeous Grape 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Very Vanilla 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – 1 for the inside and 1 for the outside – rounded upper left corners
Scrap Very Vanilla
Scrap Granny Apple Green

I made my own ink pad by folding a single baby wipe into a square and placing it in an empty clear mount stamp case. I took the Daffodil Delight re-inker and dropped about 12 – 15 drops randomly onto the baby wipe. I repeated this with the Poppy Parade re-inker and finally with Gorgeous Grape re-inker. The dots of ink should spread and merge together with no un-inked areas.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the baby wipe technique part 2

I stamped the outline of the flowers in Poppy Parade ink and Gorgeous Grape ink onto the scrap Very Vanilla cardstock. I inked up the stripey inner portion of the flower on my homemade ink pad and stamped to fill in each flower. The flowers were then die cut using the Beautiful Layers dies and my Big Shot. Using the Leaf Punch I punched some leaves from the Granny Apple Green scrap cardstock.

The flowers were placed on one of the Very Vanilla panels and the leaves were tucked behind the flowers with a dab of Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The flowers were then added over the top on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the baby wipe technique part 2

I stamped the sentiment from the Well Said stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink onto the panel but messed it up and ended up stamping it on a scrap of Very Vanilla and gluing it over the top of the mess. Don’t you hate it when you do that!!!

www.crafty-rootes.com -Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the baby wipe technique part 2

The decorated panel was then added to the Gorgeous Grape panel with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive then glued to the Crumb Cake card base. I added a trio of the Glitter Enamel Dots to complete the card front.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Beautiful Promenade stamp set and the baby wipe technique part 2

I had an extra stamped and die cut flower which I cut in half and added one half to the inner Very Vanilla panel and the other half to the Very Vanilla envelope.

I really love this technique. Hope you like the card.

Healing Hugs for a get well card

Posted on January 8, 2019January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Our latest team challenge asks us to make a get well card ready for this season of coughs and colds and I chose to make this sweet card using the stunning Healing Hugs stamp set. I have had this set for a while and never inked it up and it is stunning.

Making the card

I stamped the large flower image in Merry Merlot ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out using my sharp scissors. The flower is gorgeous, the petals almost look like velvet; the dimension these distINKtive stamps give is amazing. Using a sponge dauber I inked around the edges of the flower with the Merry Merlot ink.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Healing Hugs stamp set used for a get well card

I cut a panel of Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper (dsp) 5” by 3⅛”. I cut a scalloped border from a ½” strip of Merry Merlot cardstock and the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch. I added the border to the dsp panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Healing Hugs stamp set used for a get well card

I stamped the leaves in Old Olive ink in the bottom right corner of a Thick Whisper White card base before gluing down the dsp panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Healing Hugs stamp set used for a get well card

I added the cut out flower in the lower right hand corner on Stampin’ Dimensionals and stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Old Olive ink. To complete the card I added a trio of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

I hope you like it.
