An Autumnal Tree card made for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using the gorgeous Loveliest Tree stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up!

Autumnal Tree card – Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on September 14, 2024August 21, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are sharing Spring/Autumn themed projects. I have chosen to make a lovely Autumnal tree card using the Loveliest Tree stamp set and Dies. This card was inspired by a video made by fellow demonstrator Emma Ryder, unfortunately I haven’t been able to find the video again to link it to mine.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the lovely Autumnal tree card:

Mossy Meadow card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Crushed Curry card – 5” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4¼” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White, Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, Copper Clay & Mossy Meadow card

I stamped the tree in Early Espresso ink onto the 4¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card and set it aside to dry.

Using a pair of Paper Scissors, I roughed up the edge of a scrap of Mossy Meadow card allowing it to shred in small pieces. I repeated this with scraps of Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Copper Clay card. All the card dust and small scraps were collected on a sheet of scrap paper.

Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive was then applied to the stamped tree canopy, covering as much of the surface as possible with a thin smear of glue. This gives the tree canopy a great textured look.

I tipped all the paper scraps onto the glue smeared tree canopy, pressing all the pieces down into the glue and gently rubbing and tapping off any excess and applying them to areas not already covered.

Using the dark Mossy Meadow Blends Pen, I coloured in a length of the White Diagonal Striped Ribbon. Being a little impatient I then placed it on the stamped panel forgetting that it takes time for the ribbon to dry. Sadly, the colour seeped into the white card. So I decided to die cut the decorated tree and by doing this all the texture I had achieved was flattened! However, I quite liked the resulting effect so decided to press on.

I cut another panel of Basic White card 4¼” by 3” and wrapped, the now dry piece of ribbon around the it, securing the ribbon on the back with Sellotape and in the centre with a Mini Glue Dot. The die cut tree was then added to the panel on Dimensionals.

From the panel of Crushed Curry card I die cut a rectangle using the Perennial Postage Dies and added this behind the decorated panel. The whole piece was then glued to the Mossy Meadow card base.

At this point I decided to stamp my sentiment directly onto the panel!!! What was I thinking! I chose a sentiment, from the Country Birdhouse stamp set then decided to mask some of the words as I only wanted the word ‘hello’. I inked up the sentiment with Mossy Meadow ink, removed the masking paper strip and stamped the word onto the card front and thankfully got away with it……

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Yuletide Village and Peaceful Seasons stamp sets and the Greetings of the Seasons Dies used to make a Yuletide Village themed card for the Stampin’ With Friends Blog Hop

From the 4½” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card, I die cut a tag using the Greetings of the Season Dies. I also die cut the bottom of the same tag, twice from scrap Basic White card and tore the piece in two and set them aside.

I placed a ¾” circle, cut from a Post It Note near the top of the label and used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the top ¾ of the tag. The Post It circle was then removed and a little of the same ink added to reduce the blinding whiteness. Using the same ink and Blending Brush, I added the remaining ink to the torn edge of the tag pieces.

The pretty house was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card. I coloured it in using light and dark Petal Pink, light Lemon Lolly and light Crumb Cake. The house was the fussy cut using my sharp Scissors.

The tree was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto the tag and coloured with the light Shaded Spruce Blends Pen. The torn layers were the added to the bottom of the tag on Dimensionals. The house was added to the card front on Dimensionals with the bottom tucked behind the snowbanks. The tag was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Peaceful Season stamp set was stamped onto scrap Basic White card using Shaded Spruce ink. This was then die cut using one of the tags from the Greetings Of The Season Dies. I ran it through the Cut and Emboss Machine twice to make the tag smaller and lose the hole. The sentiment label was then glued to the card front.

A bow, made using Sheer Ribbon, was added to the top of the tag with a Mini Glue Dot and a scattering of White Loose Snowflakes completed the card.

Stained-Glass Heart Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on September 3, 2024August 16, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing a project we have been working on recently. I have chosen to share a congratulations card designed, using the Friends For Life Dies and the stained glass window technique, to celebrate the wedding of my daughter and son in laws friends. I was inspired by a card made by Susan Wong for the Crafty Carrot……..

Using the Friends For Life Dies I die cut a solid heart from scrap Basic White card. The outline heart and the detailed heart were then placed onto the scrap Basic White card and secured together with washi tape from my stash. I then ran them through the Cut & Emboss Machine 4 times, cutting the heart apart from the outline each time. The outlines were set aside as I didn’t need them for this project.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I squirted some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the Silicon craft sheet and used a piece of sponge from my stash to add the glue to the back of one of the detailed hearts which was then glued onto the solid white heart. I stacked two more detailed hearts on top.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Then, I filled each negative space with a puddle of Fine Tip Glue and set it aside to dry for about 30 minutes. When the glue was dry and glossy, I glued the final white detailed heart in place hiding the messy edges created when I was colouring in the heart.

I die cut one last detailed heart from Silver Foil and glued it on top.
