Starry Sky card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” Daffodil Delight card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside
I stamped the detailed mountain image in Starry Sky ink across one of the Basic White panels. I cleaned the stamp, adhered it to the block with the detailed side against the block and inked up the reverse with Fresh Freesia ink. I stamped this off on scrap paper before stamping it over the detailed image to provide a shadow.

The detailed line of trees was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink at the base of the mountains. I inked the image again, stamped off onto scrap paper, turned the image upside down and stamped again in the foreground. I stamped multiple times until all the ink was gone.
Using a Post It Note, punched with a 1” Circle Punch I placed it in the sky overlapping the mountain range. I used Sponge Daubers to add Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight ink above the mountains to indicate a sunset. I removed the mask and added a little Daffodil Delight ink to the moon.

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where our theme is ‘In Memoriam’. My son is in the British Army and Remembrance Sunday is very important to us a family and I have chosen to make a field of poppies themed sympathy card.
To recreate the field of poppies card, you will need:
Petal Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” Poppy Parade card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 Poppy Parade card – 2¼” by 2¼” Basic White card – 2¼” by 2¼”
Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I stamped the group of poppies, twice across one of the Basic White panels.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Painted Poppies stamp set used to make a pretty card for the Stamping Dreams ‘In Memoriam’ Blog Hop
I used a Post It note to mask off the ½” strip where the poppy stems were stamped. I used a Blending Brush to apply Granny Apple Green ink between to strips of Post Of Note. The sticky strips were then moved up and Petal Pink ink was brushed on over the poppy flowers. Finally, I masked off a ½” strip above the flowers and coloured this in with Pool Party and a Blending Brush.
www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Painted Poppies stamp set used to make a pretty card for the Stamping Dreams ‘In Memoriam’ Blog Hop
I wrapped a length of Black Baker’s Twine around the stamped panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same liquid glue to add the panel to the Petal Pink card base.

Here is a pretty rainbow snowflakes card made using the lovely Joyful Flurry stamp set for the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop where our theme is simple stamping.
To recreate the rainbow snowflakes card, you will need:
Parakeet Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛” – rounded lower right corner Orchid Oasis card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded lower right corner Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower right corner Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded lower right corner – for the inside
I began by stamping my chosen snowflake in Polished Pink ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card.

The stamp was then cleaned, inked with Sweet Sorbet ink and stamped again.

I repeated this step stamping next in Daffodil Delight ink, then Parakeet Party ink, Tahitian Tide ink and finally Orchid Oasis ink. The sentiment was stamped in Orchid Oasis.

The stamped panel was glued to the Orchid Oasis panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. It was then added to the Parakeet Party card base using the same glue.

A Basic Rhinestone was added to the centre of each snowflake to complete the card.
