A gorgeous 75th waterfall birthday card for my aunt made in bright summery colours using Stampin' Up! products

Special Waterfall Birthday Card for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 27, 2021February 27, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is Fun Folds. So with that in mind, I absolutely have to share with you the waterfall birthday card I have made for my Aunts special birthday tomorrow. This card was made using bright spring colours and flowers which my aunt loves.

Colours Used in this project are:

To recreate the Waterfall birthday card, you will need:

Magenta Madness card base – 11¾” by 4⅛” – scored at 5⅞”
Magenta Madness – 8⅝” by 2¾” – Scored at 1¾”, 2½”, 3¼” & 4”
Magenta Madness – 4⅛” by 1”
Flowers For Every Season dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Flirty Flamingo – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Daffodil Delight – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Just Jade – 2⅝” by 2⅝”
Misty Moonlight – 3⅝” by 2⅝”
Basic White – 2½” by 2½” x 3
Basic White – 3½” by 2½”
Basic White – 2½” by 1½”
Scrap Basic White & Magenta Madness

I began by gluing the Flowers For Every Season dsp to the Magenta Madness card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Adhere the small strip of Magenta Madness card about 2 ¼” up from the bottom of the card front. Use strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape or Snail Plus and this piece gets a lot of pulling about.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Next, I inserted the 4⅝” (longest side) end of the scored 8⅝” strip of Magenta Madness into the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch; it is wider than the opening so is a bit of a fiddle. Push it right to the end then punch. Pull it out and trim off the extra piece on each side.

Fold on all the score lines, slip the punched scalloped end of the Magenta Madness under the strip of card you have just glued across the card. The scored part of the card will then be on top of the band. Using strong adhesive glue along the top of the scored panel – face down – adhere the piece to the bottom end of the band. This forms the waterfall mechanism.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

Using adhesive at the top of each of the coloured panels, adhere them to the small scored strips of the waterfall panel.

I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp some of the sentiments from the You Are Amazing, Approaching Perfection & Good Morning Magnolia stamp sets on to the small panels of Basic White card. Other sentiments were masked and inked up using Just Jade, Magenta Madness and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Markers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

The sentiment panels were added to the Coloured panels using with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a selection of flowers from the All Things Fabulous stamp set. For the larger flower I used 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd generation Magenta Madness. For the smaller flowers I used 2^nd generation Daffodil Delight and Bumblebee, Magenta Madness in 1^st and 2^nd generation and Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade. The leaves were stamped in Just Jade ink. These were all cut out using my Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machune. The flowers and leaves were added to the sentiment panels with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

I die cut the numbers form Flowers For Every Season dsp using the Large Numbers Dies whch are sadly retired. These were added to the final, largest panel with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A pretty, colourful special Waterfall birthday card made using the All Things Fabulous stamp set by Stampin Up!

I added a length of White Ribbon from my stash to the scalloped end to work the waterfall mechanism and tied it on with a piece of the Snail Mail Twine. I finished by adding some Gold Glitters Dot to each panel. I added a tiny Magenta Madness dragonfly punched out using the Dragonfly Punch to the front panel.

A pretty gilded heart card for someone you love and for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop

Gilded Heart for the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop

Posted on February 13, 2021February 13, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Stamping INKspirations Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Love is in the Air’. I have made a gilded heart card using the pretty Touched my Heart stamp set and some gold gilding flakes.

Colours used in this project are:

Blackberry Bliss

Basic White

To recreate the gilded heart card, you will need:

Blackberry Bliss card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾”
Oh So Ombre dsp – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”

Taking the panel of Oh So Ombre dsp, I stamped the sweet dainty heart using Versamark ink. I added Heat & Stick Powder, heat set it with my heat tool and covered it with Gold Gilding Flakes. I used my fingers and a piece of Stampin Sponge to rub in the gilding flakes and to remove the excess flakes.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Gilded Heart for the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop using the Touching The Heart stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I then stamped the sentiment from the Treasures of Life Stamp set in the same Versamark ink, added Heat & Stick Powder and again covered it with Gold Gilding Flakes and repeated the rubbing off the excess.

Flowers on Black for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on February 13, 2021February 11, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are showcasing projects we have been working on. If you saw my blog post on the 31^st January you will be aware that I have been enjoying playing with the fussy cut flowers and leaves from one of the sheets of Flower & Field dsp. I am using the flowers again today to make a thank you card.

If you have hopped over from Annette’s blog, welcome.

To recreate the Flowers & Field card, you will need:

Basic Black – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic Black – 5½”” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½”” by 3⅝” – for the inside
Basic Black – 3½” by 2½”

I started by running the Basic Black panel through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder. This was glued to the Basic Black card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Stamp. Ink. Share. Blog hop – Flower & Field dsp for a flowers on black thank you card

Using Versamark ink, I stamped the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set onto the small piece of Basic Black card. I covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. This was then die cut using the Stitched Shapes dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

I added the die cut sentiment to the card front on Dimensionals.

Then, I arranged all the flowers and leaves – fussy cut from the gorgeous Flowers & Field dsp – around the sentiment using either liquid glue and/or Dimensionals.

Trio of Ties

Posted on February 12, 2021February 7, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp n’ Hop Blog Hop where this month we have a colour challenge. The colours are Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow and my first thoughts were great colours for a trio of ties masculine card. With this in mind I have chosen to use the Handsomely Suited stamp set.

The Colour Combo used on this project:

To recreate the Trio of Ties card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card Base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Dandy Garden dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Mossy Meadow – 4¼” by 3”
Basic White – 4⅛” by 2⅞”
Basic White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” for the inside
Scrap Basic White

I glued the Dandy Garden dsp to the larger panel of Basic White card using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Using some of the White Twine from the Snail Mail Twine pack to wrap around the panel, adhering it on the reverse with Sellotape. I used the liquid glue to adhere the panel to the Crumb Cake card base.

Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink I stamped the ties onto the smallest panel to Basic White. I used the following Blends Markers to colour in the ties – Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake and Mossy Meadow.

The stamped layer was then added with liquid glue to the Mossy Meadow layer. The whole panel was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I placed the Many Messages stamp into the Stamparatus, inked it up in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped down onto a panel of Basic White. I used the Messages Die and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine to cut out the sentiments. I keep the spare sentiments in a stamp case.
