Evergreen Christmas Tree card

Posted on August 27, 2021July 22, 2021 by Mo Rootes

I really love Christmas and Christmas crafting and am sharing an evergreen Christmas tree card made using the Evergreen Elegance stamp set paired with the Natural Textiles stamp set and Scalloped Contour Dies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the evergreen Christmas tree card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce card – 5⅞” by 3”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 2¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic Gray card – 2” by 1¼”

I inked up one of the gorgeous background stamps from the Natural Textiles stamp set in Smoky Slate ink. I stamped off twice before stamping the image down the left and right side of the Smoky Slate card front.

I inked the same stamp again with the same ink, stamped off once then stamped onto the strip of Basic White card. I repeated this 3 times covering the whole panel.

Using the tall tree, I stamped in Shaded Spruce onto the bottom of the stamped strip in 1^st and 2^nd generation ink. This step was repeated to fill up the bottom of the panel.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I cut the scalloped border using the Shaded Spruce card and added it behind the stamped layer using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a piece of Silver Mesh Ribbon around the panel and tied it in a bow, securing the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

The sentiment from the For Unto Us stamp set (so happy this set has returned) was stamped in Versamark ink onto the small piece of Basic Gray card, covered in White Embossing Powder and heat set using a Heat Tool. I used a Tailor-Made Tag Die to cut out the sentiment, I actually shorted the die cut as it was too long, and added it under the bow with a Mini Glue Dot.

Posted on August 14, 2021August 12, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I have chosen to use the Feels Like Home stamp set, a free choice from the Sale-A-Bration brochure with a £45 order, and a bit of water colouring.

Colours used in this project are:

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the image in Basic Gray ink. I find I get a better image using the Stamparatus especially on this textured paper.

I like to use the lid of my inkpads as my palette, either by squeezing the pad to the lid or adding a drop of re-inker directly into the lid and adding water.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful water coloured card made using the Feels Like Home stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where it is all about the males today. I have chosen to use the Welcoming Woods stamp set to make my card. Whether you have hopped over from Cheryl’s blog, loved her project or have started with me, please continue to hop to see what inspiration others have to share today.

Basic White card – 4½” by 3⅛” – rounded upper left corner

The ‘ground’ was stamped in 2^nd generation Soft Suede ink to give the effect of an horizon.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Welcoming Woods stamp set used for a masculine themed card for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I punched a circle using the 1” Circle Punch, placed it over the tree trunks to provide a ‘moon’. Using a Blending Brush I added Balmy Blue ink, lightly from the horizon line to the top of the card. I kept the colour light as I wanted a wintery sky effect. The masked circle was then removed.

The ground was coloured with a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake ink and I added the speckles from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Soft Suede ink to give the ground some texture. The stamped panel was added to the Balmy Blue layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
