Posted on June 19, 2023June 13, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are working with a sketch/colour challenge. I have chosen to make my card using the colours but as Pale Papaya and Pacific Point have retired, I have swapped these for Petal Pink and Azure Afternoon. I also changed Cajun Craze to Copper Clay. I have made my card using the Dainty Delight stamp set.

Colours used in this card are:

Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Copper Clay card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Basic White & Petal Pink

Using Copper Clay ink, I stamped the largest floral image from the Dainty Delight stamp set onto the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White.

The sentiment was stamped on scrap Basic White card in Tahitian Tide ink and punched it out using the Double Oval Punch. I used the same punch to punch out the slightly larger scalloped oval from scrap Petal Pink card. I glued the 2 ovals together and added them to the card front using Mini Glue Dots.

Having lined the images of the microscope and beakers up on my grid paper, making sure the bottoms lined up and picked them up using the I block – the microscope did stick out over the top but stamped well. I inked up the images with Pebbled Path ink and stamped it onto the smaller panel of Basic White panel above the wood planks.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The It’s a Science stamp set used to make a card for the 2023 – 2025 In Color, Stamping Dreams Blog Hop challenge

Using the Blends Alcohol Pens I coloured in the images, I used the color lifter to add ‘light’ to the beakers.

I added Pebbled Path ink to the bottom of the panel using a Blending Brush and another brush to add Boho Blue ink to the top and sides of the same panel.

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. Love fun folds and today I am sharing a floating panel card made using the So Refreshing stamp set and inspired by Susan Campfield – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn3Lrs-aNu4.

The colours used in this card are:

To recreate the so refreshing card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 2 1/16” and 4⅛”
Stargazing dsp – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Stargazing dsp – 5⅝” by 1⅞” x 2
Basic White card – 5” by 3½”
Basic White card – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 3” by 2” – scored at ¾”, 1½”, 2¼”

I folded and burnished the score lines on the Thick Basic White card base and glued the panels of Stargazing dsp to the card base.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I die cut rectangles from 5” by 3½” and 4” by 3” panels of Basic White card. I trimmed off the left side of the larger rectangle. Using a Blending Brush, I added Berry Burst ink, lightly around the edges of both of the scalloped rectangles. The sentiment was then stamped at the top of the smaller rectangle in Berry Burst ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The outline of the jug was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto scrap Basic White card and added the infill in Lemon Lime Twist ink. The glass was stamped next in Pebbled Path ink and added the infill using the same Lemon Lime Twist ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The outline limes, outline leaves and slice of lime were all stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and the infill of the leaves and limes in Lemon Lime Twist ink all on Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The spray of flowers was stamped on scrap Basic White card, the stem and leaves in Granny Apple Green, outline flowers in Berry Burst ink and infill flowers in Bubble Bath ink. I stamped an extra flower and trimmed it out using Scissors.

The two scalloped rectangles were then decorated with all the die cut pieces.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The So Refreshing stamp set and dies used to make a floating panel card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop fun fold challenge

The larger rectangle with the cut down side was then inserted onto the back panel. I didn’t do this correctly………. I didn’t actually watch Susan’s video to the end as I thought I knew what she had done……….. haven’t we all made that mistake. What I should have done was fold in the two outer pieces of the 3” by 2” panel and place them, folded side down, straddling the scoreline and adhering them with a strong adhesive. The rectangle panel should then be glued to the left had side.

The smaller rectangle is then added to the front piece with glue only on the left side.

The card was completed using a scattering of Festive Pearls.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Paper Florist Dies combined with the Twisted Rope Embossing Folder to make a beautiful double Z fold birthday card

The smaller decorated card base was then added to the larger Bubble Bath card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I made this card for my lovely Mum who had a birthday a couple of days ago. I hope you like it.
