Gallery Blooms Wedding Card- Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on August 9, 2025July 24, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold projects. I have chosen to share the wedding card made for my niece and her new wife’s wedding last week. Such a lovely day. I used the Gallery Blooms stamp set and Everyday Arches Dies to create my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the gallery blooms wedding card, you will need:

Night of Navy card – 5½” by 4¼” x 3
Petal Pink card – 5¼” by 4” x 4
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3½”
Night of Navy card – 9” by 1¾” – scored at 2½” and 6½”
Night of Navy card – 3¼” by ½”
Scrap Petal Pink and Night of Navy card

From the 3 rectangles of Night of Navy card I die cut three of the largest arches from the Everyday Arches Dies. I die cut the next size down arch from the four pieces of Petal Pink card. Using the next size down again I die cut arches from the four panels of Basic White card.

I stamped the large floral image onto one of the Basic White arches and the smaller curved double bloom onto the remaining three white arches using Night of Navy ink.

The flowers on each of the image were coloured using Petal Pink Blends Pens with the centres added with the dark Cloud Cover Blends Pen. Three of the Basic White arches were then embossed using the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. The remaining panel was left un-embossed so that I could write a message.

Adhesive Sheet was added to the back of a scrap piece of Night of Navy and Petal Pink card. I then used the Alphabet A La Mode Dies to cut out the letters for the girl’s names and the & sign. The letters were then adhered to the embossed panels. I used a T ruler to make sure I got the letters as straight as possible. The embossed and decorated panels were then adhered to the Petal Pink arches.

The scorelines on the long strip of Night of Navy card were folded and burnished and one of the Night of Navy arches was adhered behind the centre panel. The other two Night of Navy arches were then adhered to the strip, one to the right and the other to the left. The decorated arches were then glued into position.

I made a triple bow from some scrap blue metallic ribbon from my stash and used a Mini Glue Dot to add it to the card front.

I stamped the sentiment, from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set in Versamark ink on the small strip of Night of Navy card, covered it with White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I added it to the card front on Dimensionals straddling the knot of the bow.

Posted on August 8, 2025July 24, 2025 by Mo Rootes

To recreate the cocktail themed card, you will need:

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped the tall glass and the squat glass using Secret Sea ink. Both glasses were then die cut using the Cheers and Sips Dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Cheers & Sips stamp set used with some designer series paper to make a cocktails themed celebration card

The same glasses were stamped onto scrap pieces of Full of life dsp. I cut off about ⅛” from the top of the glass and trimmed around each glass as close to the stamped line as possible and adhered each piece to the corresponding die cut white glass. I embossed the taller glass using the embossing die from the same die.

A stitched circle was die cut from the square of Basic White card using the Stylish Shapes Dies. I placed the glasses onto the stitched circle, moved the smaller one aside and stamped the celery leaves with Shaded Spruce ink. The leaves were then coloured using Lemon Lime Twist and Shaded Spruce Blends Pens.

A Mountain Scene piece of home decor made using the Scenic Adventures stamp set from Stampin' Up! with an ink blending technique

Inked Background Mountain Scene – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on August 5, 2025July 24, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing background techniques. I am sharing a piece of home décor created using ink blending and inspired by a card made by Michelle Zindorf.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the inked background mountain scene, you will need:

Basic White card – 6½” by 4½”
Frame – 7” by 5”

Using a 2½” Circle Punch from my stash I punched a mask from a Post It Note. I placed the mask on the Basic White panel, slightly above the middle.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Scenic Adventures stamp set used with tan ink blending technique to create a Mountain Scene piece of home decor – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the entire panel with the mask in position. Next, I added Summer Splash ink to the top and bottom of the panel leaving a rim around the mask and a strip of plain Pool Party across the masked area from the middle to near the bottom of the mask.

Azure Afternoon ink was then added, again leaving some of the Pool Party and Summer Splash ink visible and finished with a covering of Night of Navy ink concentrating in all four corners, along the top and the bottom. The mask was then removed.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Scenic Adventures stamp set used with tan ink blending technique to create a Mountain Scene piece of home decor – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

A piece of Post It note was then placed about ⅓ of the way up the moon from the bottom. A second Post It note was then torn into a jagged pattern before being applied to the top ⅓ of the moon. I used Gorgeous Grape ink and a Blending Brush to create mountains in the gap between the Post It notes. The jagged mask was then removed.

With the straight Post It note still in position I stamped a tree onto the inked panel with the bottom of the tree on the mask. I repeated this step to add the remaining trees before removing the Post It note.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Scenic Adventures stamp set used with tan ink blending technique to create a Mountain Scene piece of home decor – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I placed a piece of cellophane over the stamped trees with a sliver of the bottom showing. I inked up the trees again, stamped off on scrap paper and stamped a tree below and at the same approximate height as the full-strength tree above to provide a reflection. The cellophane was then removed.

I lightly added a little Pool Party ink to the ‘moon’ to make it less blindingly white and stamped the dotty image from the Coneflower Celebration stamp set with Whisper White ink to add stars to the sky. A white gel pen added texture to the wate.

The picture was now complete and ready to be framed, or it could be trimmed down and made into a card.
