Jolly Snowflakes for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on December 11, 2021December 9, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on. I have chosen to share some Jolly Snowflakes cards using a modified version of a one sheet wonder,

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the jolly snowflakes cards, you will need:

Card Bases – 2 Pool Party and 2 Highland Heather – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” with one rounded corner
2 Coastal Cabana and 2 Gorgeous Grape panels – 5⅜” by 3⅝” with one rounded corner
4 panels of Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” with one rounded corner
4 panels of Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap, Basic White, Coastal Cabana & Gorgeous Grape – for the sentiments

I placed the 4 smaller Basic White panels in a square onto a piece of grid paper. The largest snowflake was inked up in Pool Party ink and stamped randomly overlapping the layers of card stock.

The next snowflake was added in Highland Heather ink, again concentrating the stamping along the cross shaped join lines of the Basic White card pieces. The Coastal Cabana Snowflake was added next and lastly the Gorgeous Grape snowflake.

I separated the stamped panels and added each to either, a Coastal Cabana or a Gorgeous Grape panel.

A length of either Pool Party Sheer Ribbon or Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon were added to the layers and the panels were then added to either a Pool Party or a Highland Heather card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Pretty, jolly snowflakes, one sheet wonder Christmas cards for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Using a label from the Seasonal Labels Dies, I die cut 4 Basic White, 2 Coastal Cabana and 2 Gorgeous Grape labels. The sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set were stamped in either Coastal Cabana or Gorgeous Grape ink. The stamped label was then added to a coloured label using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment labels were then added, on Dimensionals to the card fronts. A bow of the corresponding ribbon was added with a Mini Glue Dot. The cards were completed by adding a trio of either, Artistry Blooms Sequins or Pastel Pearls.

Posted on November 29, 2021November 21, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where our theme is Winter/Holiday. I have chosen to make a pretty Christmas card using the Christmas Season stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Christmas Season card, you will need:

Soft Succulent card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Garden Green card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”– rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – one for the inside

Scrap Basic White & Gold Foil

I stamped the larger leaf sprig in Soft Succulent ink onto scrap Basic White card. The holly leaves were stamped on the same scrap card in Garden Green ink. Using Cherry Cobbler ink I stamped the berries onto the scrap Basic White card and added the stalks in Soft Suede ink. Using the Seasonal Layers Dies I die cut all the stamped images.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White and die cut using the Seasonal Labels Dies. The label was added to one of the Basic White panels on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A gorgeous Christmas card made using the Christmas Season stamp set for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I tucked the leaves and berries in around the sentiment and added a scattering of dots in Pool Party ink. I still felt something was missing so die cut a couple of the leaves from the Seasonal Layers Dies from scraps of Gold Foil and added them to the panel.

The entire panel was glued to the Garden Green layer and then to the Soft Succulent card front.

Poinsettia Bauble for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on November 27, 2021November 25, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Tree Decorations’ – such a fun challenge. I have used the gorgeous Poinsettia Dies to make a hanging bauble for my tree.

Colours used in the Poinsettia Bauble are:

To recreate this project, you will need:

4” wooden circle
Real Red card – 8¼” by 3¼”
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”
Scrap Gold Foil

Using a Big Bite hole puncher, I punched hole at the top of the 4” wooden circle. I used the Birch background stamp and Early Espresso ink and stamped it onto the circle and set it aside to dry. I mounted the stamp on a Stamparatus Plate as I find this easier to manage.

I used a Bone Folder to curve the petals, the largest one downwards and the other two layers upwards. I adhered the middle piece to the largest piece with a Dimensional and then added the smaller flower to the middle layer with a Mini Dimensional. I cut a flower centre from scrap Gold Foil and added it with Multicoloured Liquid Adhesive. I covered the petals with Clear Wink of Stella to give a bit of sparkle.

The Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop using a scrap piece of inked Vellum die cut into a trio of butterflies

Trio of Butterflies for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on November 25, 2021November 15, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are using something from our stash in a project today. I have a piece of inked vellum on my craft desk, left over from September’s classes – see the post on the 17^th September 2021, and have used it to make a card featuring a trio of butterflies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the double butterfly card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Magenta Madness card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Vellum – big enough to die cut your butterflies

I used Magenta Madness, Dark Pumpkin Pie and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Alcohol Markers to scribble blocks of colour all over the Vellum taking care not to overlap the colours which would contaminate the lighter colour nibs.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful card featuring a trio of butterflies made from inked vellum for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Using a pipette filled with 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and smacked it against a Bone Folder to spray small dots of alcohol all over the Vellum. This allows the ink to start spreading, such a cool effect. The Vellum piece was then set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful card featuring a trio of butterflies made from inked vellum for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Using second generation Pale Papaya ink I stamped the larger circle image from the Watercolor Shapes stamp set in the centre of the smaller Basic White panel. The dotty image was stamped in full strength Pale Papaya randomly across the stamped circle.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful card featuring a trio of butterflies made from inked vellum for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Taking the dry vellum panel and the Brilliant Wings Dies I die cut 3 of the small butterflies. Vellum can be tricky to die cut with a detailed die and I find placing the die, cutting side up gives me the best cut. I used the Take Your Pick Die Brush to get out the fiddly pieces.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful card featuring a trio of butterflies made from inked vellum for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

The sentiment from the Artistically Inked stamp set was stamped in Magenta Madness ink. The stamped panel was then glued to the Magenta Madness layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and added to the Thick Basic White card front using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful card featuring a trio of butterflies made from inked vellum for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

The butterflies were added to the card front on Mini Glue Dots and the card decorated with a trio of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels.

I hope you like it.

A beautiful card featuring the arctic bears and mountain air stamp sets by Stampin' Up! for the Stamp 'N Hop Blog Hop

CASEd Bear for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on November 12, 2021November 13, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and thank you for joining me for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we have been asked to CASE each other. CASEing means copy and share everything or copy and selectively edit and I have chosen the second version.

After a lot of research and fun looking at the blogs of my fellow demos I have chosen to CASE this card designed by Annette Elias

Annette Elias card featuring a Bear

I love her style, so different from mine. I tend to go for clean and simple where Annette loves to layer and embellish. I just wish I had her talent.

Here is my simplified version of her beautiful card using 2 of my favourite bundles.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the CASEd card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” scored at 5⅞”
Shaded Spruce card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Soft Suede card – 3½” by 2”
Scrap Shaded Spruce card

Using Misty Moonlight ink, I inked up the detailed mountain image and stamped it onto the panel of Basic White card. I cleaned the stamped, reversed it on my block, inked it up again and stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping it slightly higher and off set to give the mountains some depth.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bear CASEd card made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop using the Arctic Bears & Mountain Air stamp sets

I stamped the row of trees at the base of the mountains in Shaded Spruce ink.

The row of trees image was then inked in Pool Party ink, turned upside down and stamped again three times without re-inking to give the illusion of water.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bear CASEd card made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop using the Arctic Bears & Mountain Air stamp sets

I added a ½” punched circle to the skyline, to mask off a moon. Using a Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue ink to make the sky. The birds were added with Misty Moonlight ink. The stamped panel was added to the Shaded Spruce layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and then mounted on the card front using the same glue.

A tree was die cut from the scrap Shaded Spruce card using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Majestic Mountains Dies. I added it to the card front with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A bear CASEd card made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop using the Arctic Bears & Mountain Air stamp sets

The bear was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the panel of Soft Suede and trimmed out with using scissors. I could have cut it out with the co-ordinating dies but wanted it cut tighter to the stamped edge. The bear was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
