Quilted Needle & Thread

Posted on March 1, 2019February 26, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a gorgeous card…..even if I say so myself, made using the Needle and Thread stamp set.

Making the Quilted card.

Quilted-Needle-&-Thread-by-Stampin’-Up!

I started with a panel of Soft Sea Foam measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and ran it through the Big Shot with the Tufted Embossing Folder. I wrapped a length of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon around the embossed panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. I added the panel to a Soft Sea Foam card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Using Shaded Spruce ink and scrap Whisper White cardstock I stamped the leaf image twice and cut them apart. I stamped the large and small flower in Berry Burst ink and the trio of small flowers in Blushing Bride ink and ran them through the Big Shot with the Needlepoint Elements dies.

I added the leaves and the large flower on Stampin’ Dimensionals in the lower left corner over the Polka Dot Ribbon and tucked the other flowers around using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com -Quilted Needle & Thread thank you card

I stamped the sentiment in Shaded Spruce ink onto a scrap of Soft Sea Foam and trimmed it out using my sharp scissors. I tucked it in under the leaves and flowers with a Mini Glue Dot. I added a bow in the Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon below the flowers with a Mini Glue Dot. As a final touch I added a scattering of Share What You Love Artisan Pearls.

I think this is just such a sweet card and I love the Soft Sea Foam with the Berry Burst. I hope you like it

Today I am sharing a sneak peek using one of the stamp sets I was given at the recent OnStage demonstrator event in Birmingham.

Making the Incredible You card

I started with a panel of Whisper White 4¼” by 2¾” and stamped the leafy stalk randomly in the lower right corner in 1^st and 2^nd generation Old Olive ink. I added the other sprig of leaves in So Saffron ink. The stalky image was added in Old Olive and the flowers in Real Red ink.

I then stamped the large flower twice onto scrap Whisper White cardstock. The outline was stamped in full strength, 1^st generation Blackberry Bliss ink and the solid inner layer of the flower in 2^nd generation or stamped of Blackberry Bliss ink. I cut out both flowers with my scissors and added them to the lower right corner, one with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the other on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set was added in Old Olive ink.

Monochromatic Tropical Chic

Posted on October 30, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I really wanted to make a card using a monochromatic colour scheme and pulled out the Tropical Chic stamp set to make this card. I love this stamp set but it hasn’t had much love lately.

Making the Monochromatic Tropical Chic card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card

I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and stamped 3 of the leaf images from the stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink, Gray Granite ink or Smoky Slate ink. I concentrated the images down the left hand side of the panel overlapping to add some dimension.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card

I wrapped a piece of Black Shimmer Ribbon around the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The layer was then added to a panel of Basic Black cardstock measuring 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive. This was then added to a Gray Granite card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card

The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut using the Layering Oval Dies and my Big Shot. I then die cut a scalloped oval from the same die cut and glued the two layers together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish the card I added some Faceted Dots.

I really like the monochromatic look of this card. I hope you like it.

Beautiful Promenade

Posted on August 26, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Earlier this week we had my husband’s cousin and her partner visiting from Canada and they were fascinated with my Big Shot……… who isn’t!!! I cut a few pieces out using the Beautiful Promenade stamp set and Beautiful Layers framelit dies to demonstrate how it worked and decided to use them to make a card today. So this card is for you Helen and T.J.

Making the Beautiful Promenade card

I began by placing the Whisper White die cut doily onto a 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Lifting the doily to one side I stamped the striped flower image twice using 2^nd generation Coastal Cabana ink so that the stamped flowers would be partially covered by the doily. 2^nd generation means inking up your stamp then stamping it onto scrap paper – I use Grid Paper – then stamping again without re-inking onto your project which gives you a lighter shade of the original colour.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin’ Up

At this point I decided that the background was too stark so ran the Soft Sea Foam panel through my Big Shot using the Tufted embossing folder.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I took the flower I had stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock then die cut using my Big Shot and the Beautiful Layers dies. I stamped the striped flower overtop of the die cut image. I then stamped 3 lots of leaves in Gray Granite ink and die cut them out. I stamped the sentiment from the Eastern Beauty stamp set in Gray Granite ink into the centre of the doily and started putting the card together.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Promenade stamp set by Stampin’ Up

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the embossed Soft Sea Foam layer to a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5½“ by 3¾” and added this to the Bermuda Bay card base. I added a strip of Gray Granite cardstock 4⅛” by ⅜” to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added the doily on top using tiny pieces of Stampin’ Dimensionals. The flower was then added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the leaves tucked in behind. To finish the card off I added a few Glitter Enamel Dots.

Such a soft, pretty card. I hope you like it.

Tropical Chic, fresh and simple

Posted on July 22, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a clean and simple card made using the Tropical Chic stamp set from the new Annual Catalogue.

Making the Tropical Chic card

I wanted to use shades of green for this card to keep it fresh and simple and started with a Soft Sea Foam card base. I really love this colour; it is a fantastic addition to our new colour palette.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic by Stampin’ Up! for a fresh and simple card

I die cut 3 squares from Whisper White cardstock using the Stitched Shapes Dies. I stamped a different leaf from the Tropical Chic stamp set onto each of the die cut squares using Shaded Spruce ink, Soft Sea Foam ink or Granny Apple Green ink; this has become one of my go to colour combos this summer.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic by Stampin’ Up! for a fresh and simple card

I cut a panel of Granny Apple Green cardstock 5⅞” by 2” and adhered the stamped squares onto it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue taking care to leave an even border around all 3 images. I added a 5⅞” strip of Silver Foil to the bottom of the panel using the same adhesive.

I stamped the sentiment from the same Tropical Chic stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and punched it out using the Everyday label Punch. I trimmed a little from the right side of the sentiment and added it beneath the stamped panel using the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Tropical Chic by Stampin’ Up! for a fresh and simple card

The whole panel was added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the same 3 leaf images in the same 3 colours onto a panel of Whisper White 5⅜ by 3⅝” for the inside of the card and again on the front of the envelope.

This is such a clean and simple card, love it……

Thank you card made using the Rooted in Nature stamp set and Nature's Roots dies by Stampin' Up!

Rooted in Nature with Tree Rings

Posted on June 8, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card I made using the lovely new Rooted In Nature stamp set and the co-ordinating Nature’s Roots dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I inked up the large Tree Rings background stamp with Soft Suede ink, I always find in easier with the larger stamps to lay them face up on my stamping surface before inking them up and laying the cardstock on top. I used Crumb Cake cardstock 4⅜” by 3″ for this card and used a scrap piece of printer paper to lay over the top and rubbed to make sure the ink transfer evenly. I think the result looks great and adds lovely texture to the card. I mounted this panel onto a layer of Soft Suede cardstock 4½” by 3⅛”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

Taking the ‘pine tree’ stamp I placed it on a C block and inked up the tree canopy using my Granny Apple Green ink pad. I inked the trunk of the tree using a Soft Suede Marker Pen and using a Shaded Spruce Marker Pen I coloured in small areas of the tree canopy. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped it down onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3½” by 2½” and die cut it out using the Nature’s Roots Framelit Dies and my Big Shot.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I die cut a Petal Pink circle using the Layering Circle Dies. I added this to the bottom of the stamped panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and trimmed off the excess. I added the off cut piece from the Petal Pink circle to the back of the stamped panel to add a little more interest.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card

I added this whole panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base (love this colour) using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The tree was then added to the Petal Pink semi-circle on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Abstract Impressions stamp set in Soft Suede ink at the bottom of the card front. I am really happy with the way this card looks. Hope you like it!

Bubble Over for January Classes

Posted on January 12, 2018January 11, 2018 by Mo Rootes

For January’s classes we used the very quirky and versatile Bubble Over stamp set and the co-ordinating Bottles & Bubbles Framelit dies, the ladies loved them. As their table gift I gave each lady as 6” by 6” sample pack of the co-ordinating Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper (dsp) which is available as a free Sale-a-Bration item with a £45 order.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles dies by Stampin’ Up!

We started the first card by die-cutting a large and small bottle from one of the Bubble & Fizz dsp sheets. I love that the dies can be used to cut out the dsp patterns in this way. We stamped the ‘bubble’ image in Lemon Lime Twist ink randomly across the upper third of a strip of Whisper White cardstock 5⅞” by 2½”. The prototype card in the picture shows the bubbles in Daffodil Delight ink but we decided we preferred the Lemon Lime Twist. The sentiment – either Love You or Thank You – from the Baby Bear stamp set was then stamped at the bottom of the panel in Bermuda Bay ink. We took a small piece of Lemon Lime Twist striped ribbon, about 4”, and wrapped it around the white panel securing on the back with Sellotape. The ladies then chose a pattern from the dsp and cut 2 strips each 6” by ½”, they then glued the strips on either side of the Whisper White panel. This panel was then adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The die cut bottles were then adhered to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles dies by Stampin’ Up!

For the second card the ladies chose a piece of dsp and using the Stampin’ Trimmer cut it to 5⅜” by 3⅝”. This panel was then added at an angle, or catawampus to a Lemon Lime Twist card base. On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock the ladies stamped the larger bottle using Archival Basic Gray ink and a Stampin’ Pierce Mat to get a good image. We also stamped the label in Lemon Lime Twist ink and the sentiment was added on top in Archival Basic Gray ink. These pieces were then die cut using the Big Shot and they also die cut one of the cute little bottle caps. The label and bottle cap were glued to the front of the bottle using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” the ladies die cut an oval using the Stitched Shapes Framelit dies. This panel was added to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals and the die cut bottle was added using Stampin’ Dimensionals and Tombow glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bubble Over stamp set and Bottles & Bubbles dies by Stampin’ Up!

Thirdly we made a bottle tag starting with a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock 8¼” by 2½” which we scored using the Stampin’ Trimmer (love that it cuts and scores) at 5½”. Taking a 1¼” Circle Punch we punched a hole roughly in the centre of the smaller side. At the bottom of the longer side we cut a shallow banner using scissors. The ladies then chose a piece of dsp and cut it to 4½” by 2⅜” and adhered it above the banner point. Bubbles were then stamped in either Lemon Lime Twist ink or Bermuda Bay ink across the top and down one side of a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4¾” by 1½” and this piece was added to the tag on top of the dsp. Taking a scrap Whisper White cardstock the ladies stamped the larger bottle in Archival Basic Gray ink, the label in Calypso Coral ink and the sentiment in Archival Basic Gray. These pieces were then die cut using the Bottles and Bubble Framelit dies along with one of the cute straws. The labels and straw were then added with Tombow Liquid Adhesive to the die cut bottle and the bottle added with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the bottle tag.

To finish off the projects the ladies added some of the mini sequins taken from the Silver Sequin Trim using the Fine-Tip Liquid Adhesive.

The ladies loved the projects and I want to thank them for all the fun, laughter and chat this week.

A simply Beautiful Peacock

Posted on January 9, 2018January 6, 2018 by Mo Rootes

OMG I am in love with a Beautiful Peacock. It comes from the aptly named Beautiful Peacock stamp set which is one of the free choices with a £45 order from the new Sale-a-Bration brochure.

I stamped the body of the peacock in Bermuda Bay ink onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5” by 3¼”. Using Lemon Lime Twist ink I stamped the image of a ‘spray of feathers/leaves’ twice to form the tail of the bird. I then stamped the ‘flourish’ style image in Bermuda Bay ink to give the effect of a full, luxurious tail.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Peacock by Stampin’ Up! for Sale-a-Bration

I stamped the dotty image in Pacific Point ink before randomly stamping the ‘tiny flower’ image in the same Pacific Point ink. The sentiment from the same stamp set was added in Lemon Lime Twist ink. I felt the peacock needed ‘grounding’ and added a swipe of Smoky Slate using the light Stampin’ Blend.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Peacock by Stampin’ Up! for Sale-a-Bration

I added the stamped panel to a layer of Pacific Point cardstock 5⅛” by 3⅜” using Tombow Liquid Adhesive before adhering the whole panel to a Thick Whisper White card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
