Soft Seedlings for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on June 27, 2022July 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have been given a sketch to work with today. I have used the Heart and Home designer Series paper which is retiring at the end of this month and the Soft Seedlings stamp set which will be available from the 1st July.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the soft seedlings stamp set, you will need:

Pear Pizzazz card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Heart and Home dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Heart & Home dsp – 3¼” by 2⅛”
Basic White card – 3⅝” by 2⅜”
Parakeet Party card – 2⅛” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

Using the blade of my Scissors I roughed up the edges of the largest panel of Heart & Home dsp and added Garden Green ink with a Dauber to define the edge. The lower right corner was curled using a Bone Folder and the panel was glued to the Pear Pizzazz card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The smaller panel of Heart & Home dsp was added to the card front with liquid glue.

I inked the largest image from the Soft Seedlings stamp set with Pear Pizzazz ink and added Garden Green ink and Parakeet Party ink using Daubers. The image was stamped onto the small piece of Basic White card. I repeated this step to fill up the panel. The panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Colour Combo Blog Hop

Posted on December 13, 2020December 8, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Colour Combo Blog Hop where you will find lots of inspiration using this month’s colours which are Cinnamon Cider, Gray Granite & Real Red. Don’t you think this is a really unusual colour combo? If you are starting the hop with me or have joined from Amanda Farlinger’s blog, you are very welcome.

To recreate the colour combo card, you will need:

Gray Granite card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – Rounded lower right corner
Whisper White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 2 – Rounded lower right corner
Real Red card – 3⅝” by 1⅛”
Whisper White card – 3⅝” by 1”

Taking one of the Whisper White panels and some Post It Notes I masked off a 1” strip about ⅔ up from the bottom.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

I decided to use the Forever Fern stamp set to make my card and started by inking up the largest leafy image with Gray Granite ink. The image was stamped above and below the masked off strip.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Next, I added the round leafed image using the Real Red ink. I filled in the gaps using the 2 smaller leafy images in Cinnamon Cider ink. I love that we have the same image going in different directions.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

To pull the whole thing together I added a scattering of dots from the same stamp set using Gray Granite ink. The Post It Notes were then removed and the whole layer was added to the Real Red layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then to the Gray Granite card base using the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment from the Ornate Thanks stamp set was stamped on the strip of Whisper White in Real Red ink. I decided it looked unfinished so stamped again on either side of the sentiment using the Gray Granite and Cinnamon Cider inks. I liked that much better.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – Forever Fern stamps set used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment strip was then added to the Real Red strip using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, then to the card front on Dimensionals. I added a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

I love these colours together, don’t you?
