Blessing for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on September 11, 2021September 8, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp. Share blog Hop where we are showcasing a project we have been working on. I am sharing a card made using the Season’s Blessing stamp set and an unusual colour combination.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Blessing card, you will need:

Coastal Cabana card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners
Misty Moonlight card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners x 2 – one for the inside
Basic White card – 4” by 2”
Scrap Basic White card

I began by embossing one of the larger Basic White panels using the gorgeous Timeworn Type Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cit & Emboss Machine. This embossed layer was then adhered to the Misty Moonlight panel and then to the Coastal Cabana card base with liquid glue.

Using the Tasteful Labels Dies I die cut a tag and stamped my sentiment on it with Misty Moonlight ink. This label was then added to the card front with Dimensionals.

The double leaf image was stamped twice in Misty Moonlight ink onto scrap Basic White card. The small and medium leaves were stamped in Coastal Cabana ink onto the scrap white card, again two of each leaf. The small flower was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto the scrap. The whole lot were then die cut using the Seasonal Basket Dies.

A quirky anniversary card made using the Counting Sheep stamp set, a Sale-a-Bration item from Stampin' Up!

Counting Sheep card for the Stamper’s Showcase Blog Hop

Posted on August 30, 2021August 30, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where we are sharing something we have been working on and I have chosen to share a cute Counting Sheep card made for my daughter and son in laws 1^st wedding anniversary yesterday. This gorgeous stamp set is one of the offerings in the up-coming Sale-a-Bration brochure which goes live on the 3^rd January along with the July – December Mini Catalogue.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the counting sheep card, you will need:

Pear Pizzazz card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Pacific Point card – 5⅛” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner – for the inside
Real Red card – 5⅞” by ⅓” x 2
Basic White card – 2 ½” by ⅜”
Scrap Basic White

I glued the 2 strips of Real Red card stock to the Pear Pizzazz card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using the Stamparatus I stamped the sweet little sheep in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. T he stamped panel was then removed and replace with the Silicon Mat. I inked the image again with the same ink and stamped it again on to the mat, carefully added the stamped panel – face down onto the inked Silicon Mat and rubbed firmly with my fingers to encourage to ink to transfer. On lifting up the panel the reverse image was seen. Such a great idea.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute counting sheep congratulations card made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop and using Sale-a-Bration product

Using a Blending Brush I inked the ground with Pear Pizzazz ink. I added the tufts of grass in Pear Pizzazz to ground the happy sheep.

I stamped the sheep image again, twice, onto Post It Notes – one on the front and the 2^nd on the reverse of the Post It Note. These were cut out using scissors. They were then placed over the 2 stamped images and the sky was added with a Blending Brush, Balmy Blue ink and a torn piece of copy paper.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A cute counting sheep congratulations card made for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop and using Sale-a-Bration product

With the masks still in place I drew in 2 balloon strings with my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. The masks were removed and the sheep coloured with Smoky Slate and Petal Pink Blends Markers.

I stamped the balloons – they are actually the small heart shaped leaf from the Love of Leaves stamp set in Real Red and Pacific Point ink onto scrap Basic White. I cut them out using scissors. The heart shaped balloons were then added to the stamped panel with Dimensionals. The whole panel was then added to the Pacific Point panel with liquid glue and then to the card front on Dimensionals.

Posted on August 8, 2021August 3, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo blog hop where I have made a sailing diorama using this months colours which are:

Gray Granite

Gorgeous Grape

Bermuda Bay

And I have added a tiny bit of Daffodil Delight for the light of the lighthouse

Gray Granite card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

I began by using the Layering Diorama dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut the centre from the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White. I put the centre piece to one side.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

Using Blending Brushes, I added Gray Granite ink to the bottom of the outer panel and Bermuda Bay ink to the upper part of the outer panel. I added some texture to the bottom using the dotty image from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and Gray Granite ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

Taking the inner piece I stamped the mountains, from the Mountain Air stamp set in Gray Granite ink and muddied the bottom using the small ‘cloud’ image from the Mountain Air stamp set in 2^nd and 3^rd generation Gray Granite. The sea and sky were both inked with Bermuda Bay ink, I just went lighter with the sky and added a 1” circle mask for the moon. The sea texture was added using a stamp from the Arctic Bears stamp set in Bermuda Bay. I place the 2 pieces of inked card together and stamped some birds, from the Mountain Air stamp set, randomly in the sky.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

The inner piece was then glued to the Gray Granite panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. And the outer piece added on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

Using the Stamparatus, I stamped the lighthouse, from the Sailing Home stamp set in Gray Granite ink and repeated the step to get a slightly darker colour. I used a Blender Pen to add ink and to smooth out the colour a little. I also added a little Daffodil Delight ink as a lighthouse is nothing without a light! The lighthouse was added with glue and Dimensionals overlapping the inset panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A Sailing Diorama card made for the Colour Combo Blog Hop and using the Sailing Home and Mountain Air stamp sets

The smaller boat from the Sailing Home stamp set was stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink and coloured with the Blender Pen and ink. The boat was added onto the inset layer with liquid glue.

Such a sweet card. I hope you like it.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Christmas Pudding card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner – x 2, one for the inside
Heartwarming Hugs dsp – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5 ½” by 3 ¾” – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 4½” by 3”
Basic White card – 3” by ¾”

I glued the panel of Heartwarming Hugs dsp to the layer of Mossy Meadow card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I used the same glue to add the panel to the Thick Basic White card base.

The stand was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the 4½” by 3” panel of Basic White card and the Christmas Pudding added in the same ink. The panel was then die cut using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Tailor Made Tags Dies.

Using the following Blends Markers I coloured in the image – Just Jade, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Cinnamon Cider, Smoky Slate, So Saffron and the Color Lifter. Used a Blending Brush to add some Balmy Blue ink to the background of the tag.

I fed a strip of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon through the hole in the tag and added a double bow made from the Silver Elegant Trim. The tag was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped on the strip of Basic White in Mossy Meadow ink. I trimmed it out using Scissors. It was added to the card front with glue and Dimensionals.
