Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

Posted on May 8, 2020May 5, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the May Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop where our theme is ‘Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 Catalogue’. If you have joined me from the lovely Libby Dyson, I am sure you loved her project.

There are so many lovely things which are retiring that I was spoilt for choice. In fact everything I have used will be retiring from the catalogue with the exception of the Whisper White card stock!

To recreate the Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 Catalogue card you will need:

Grapefruit Grove card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Blueberry Bushel – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside
Blueberry Bushel – 5” by 1⅛”
Whisper White – 5” by 1”

I began by stamping the sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set in Lovely Lipstick ink. I love the size and the font of this Happy Birthday, I will miss it. I placed the stamped sentiment strip at an angle onto one of the larger Whisper White panels and lightly drew down each side in pencil to give me a guide to where I should stamp my flowers.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop theme is Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

I removed the sentiment piece and glued it to the thin strip of Blueberry Bushel card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and set it to one side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop theme is Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

With this type of masked card I also start by stamping the largest images and working may way down to the smallest images which I use to fill in. I used the 5 retiring 2018 – 2020 In Colors to stamp my images – they were stamped in this order Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick, Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel. I used the gorgeous Beautiful Bouquet set for this part of the card. I am so going to miss this set, love all the flowers and the huge number of great sentiments.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop theme is Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

The stamped layer was then added to the Blueberry Bushel layer with the same liquid adhesive. The whole panel was then added to the Grapefruit Grove card base with the same glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop theme is Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

I erased the pencil lines and added the sentiment strip onto the card front using Dimensionals. T complete the card I added a scattering of the pretty Happiness Blooms Enamel dots which are also retiring.

I hope you like the card. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty multicoloured poppy card made using the Peaceful Poppies and Poppy Moments dies

Using the Poppy Moments dies I die cut the detailed flower from the stamped panel. I die cut the same image and the full blank flower from Whisper White card stock. I mounted the White die cut flower outline onto the White flower blank with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and carefully fitted in the inked die cut pieces. Doesn’t the flower look fab……..I love bit of paper piecing.
