I began by using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool to score the Real Red panel . I scored on the long side at 2”, 4”, 6” and 8”. The short side was scored at 2”, 5” and 7”

The box was put together using Tear & Tape, a very strong adhesive which will  ensure that is doesn’t fall apart.

Using the new Joyful Holly stamp set I randomly stamped the outline holly images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the Whisper White panel.

I stamped the infill images in Old Olive ink, they were really easy to line up and added the berries in Real Red  ink.

The stamped panel was then cut into 1⅞” strips. These strips were cut down to 2⅞”. You need 4 pieces 2⅞” by 1⅞” for the panels of the box and 1 piece 1⅞” by 1⅞” for the top of the box.

These panels were adhered using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

A floral birthday card using the Beautiful Bouquet and Perennial Birthday stamp sets by Stampin' Up!

Goodbye to the 2019 – 2020 catalogue

Posted on by

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.

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.

I used an Aquapainter to colour in the trousers using only the ink I had stamped the image with. Using a little Garden Green ink and the Aquapainter I coloured in the jumper and Real Red to colour the cap and gloves.

I used the Embossing Buddy on the Night of Navy strip then stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink, covered it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool and added it to the card base with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

CASE from Pinterest

Posted on by

Welcome to the April Stamp ‘N Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘CASE from Pinterest’. If you have joined me from Annette welcome, I am sure you enjoyed her lovely project.

I have chosen to CASE (copy and selectively edit) a card made by the very talented Su Mohr using the Poppy Moments dies. I hope you and she like it.

To recreate the CASE from Pinterest card you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner
Flirty Flamingo – 5½” by 3¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 3
Scrap Whisper White, Soft Sea Foam & Soft Suede

I began by taking the ‘smudge’ stamp, inking it up with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamping it randomly across one of the Whisper White panels. This step was repeated using So Saffron ink and Petal Pink ink until the whole layer was covered in ink.

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.

I added a soft Sea Foam centre and a Soft Suede centre.

At this point I went way off piste….. I die cut the solid leaf spray and the solid single leaf from scrap Whisper White card stock.

.The detailed leaf spray and the detailed larger leaf were die cut from Soft Sea Foam card stock. I glued the pieces together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I used a Sponge and Soft Sea Foam ink to ink one of the remaining Whisper White panels. I concentrated the colour in the lower right corners fading it out as I worked up the panel.

The panel was added to the Flirty Flamingo layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and glued to the Soft Sea Foam card base with the same adhesive.

The flower and leaves were then arranged on the card front with either glue or Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock. I trimmed it out and flagged the end with Scissors.

The card was completed with a trio of Iridescent Sequins..

I hope you like my take on Su’s lovely card. Please hop on to see what Susan Simpson has to share with us today.
