Today for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop we are showcasing a project we have been working on. I have chosen to share a sweet card made for our team challenge using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Pool Party

Basic Gray

Basic White

To recreate the Wellington Boots card, you will need:

Basic Gray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 4⅛” by 2¼”
Pool Party card – 4⅛” by ⅜” x 2
Basic White card – 3½” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside

I randomly stamped the boots in Basic Gray ink onto the Basic Gray card front.

They were stamped again onto the small panel of Basic White card.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Pool Party ink to the Basic White stamped panel. The 2 strips of Pool Party were then added to each side of the inked panel.

The sentiment, from the Kite Delight was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I masked off the part of the sentiment I didn’t want prior to inking it up. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front using liquid glue and a Dimensional.

The Flowering Rain Boots stamp set by Stampin' Up! used to make a card for the Crafty Challenge Sketch Blog Hop

Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on December 29, 2021January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2^nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink. I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The sentiment came from the Kite Delight stamp set ad was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the strip of Basic White card and trimmed down with scissors before being added to the card using liquid glue.

To complete the card, I coloured 3 of the Classic Matte Dots using the dark Mossy Meadow Blends Marker and added then to the card front as per the sketch.

I hope you like the card.

The Many Messages stamp set was mounted on the Stamparatus plate, inked up with Basic Gray ink and stamped onto scrap Basic White card. I find these large background stamps much easier to manage using the Stamparatus.

I then used the Messages Die to die cut the stamped sentiments. I chose one and added it over the ribbon using Mini Glue Dots.

A pretty campervan congratulations card made for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Mirrored Campervan for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on December 23, 2021January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing our favourite Stampin’ Up! Products. So much to choose from – eventually I settled on our fabulous Stamparatus and decided to showcase the mirror technique and make a sweet mirrored campervan card for a friend’s anniversary.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the mirrored campervan card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Balmy Blue card – 5 ½” by 3⅞” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Scrap Basic White

I mounted the campervan image on the Stamparatus plate and stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the smaller panel of Basic White card. I moved the plate along 2 hinge steps, placed the Silicon Mat on top of the stamped image, inked up and stamped onto the Silicon Mat. I repeated this step to get a darker image.

The Silicon Mat was turned over, lined up next to the original stamped image inked side down. I then stamped the image down on the back of the Silicon Mat to provide the pressure to imprint the image. Lifted the Silicon Mat and voila we had a mirror image!

Watercolour pencils were used to colour in parts of the bauble. I used pencils from both sets – White, Daffodil Delight and Cherry Cobbler.

The stamped layer was added to the smaller panel of Basic White using Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive.

A length of Silver Mesh Ribbon was wrapped around the panel and tied in a bow on the front. The whole panel was then added to the Smoky Slate card front.

I stamped the sentiment in Basic Gray ink onto the strip of Basic White card, trimmed it down and added it to the card front.

A trio of Basic Rhinestones completes the card. I love the subtle look, don’t you?
