Today I am sharing a sweet fun fold card featuring the quirky new Dino Days stamp youngsters in your life, after all who doesn’t love a dinosaur.

A gorgeous card for a little girl made usng the Fairy Celebration stamp set

Fairy Celebration and CAS(E) This Sketch #307 challenge

Posted on February 5, 2019February 5, 2019 by Mo Rootes

I was making a card today for a friends little daughter, Alys loves dressing up as a princess or a fairy so the Fairy Celebration stamp set was the obvious choice. I used the sketch from the CAS(E) This Sketch #307 challenge for this card.

Making the card

I stamped the gorgeous winged fairy in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a scrap panel of Whisper White cardstock and die cut the image using a Stitched Oval from the Stitched Shapes Die set. I die cut a scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals dies from Highland Heather cardstock and adhered the two layers together with liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Fairy Celebration stamp set used for the CAS(E) #307 Challenge

I coloured the fairy image in using the following Blends pens – Highland Heather Combo, Soft Sea Foam Combo, light Daffodil Delight, light Smoky Slate and Ivory.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Fairy Celebration stamp set used for the CAS(E) #307 Challenge

Using my Paper Trimmer I cut a piece of Botanical Butterfly dsp to 3⅝” by 2½” and adhered it, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, to the bottom of a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝”. This panel was added to a panel of Highland Heather measuring 5½” by 3¾” and the whole piece was added with the same adhesive to the front of a Soft Sea Foam card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Fairy Celebration stamp set used for the CAS(E) #307 Challenge

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink onto a strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock ⅜” wide and trimmed it to size. This was added to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Fairy Celebration stamp set used for the CAS(E) #307 Challenge

I stamped the ‘magic sprinkles’ in Soft Sea Foam ink onto the stamped oval and near the top of the Whisper White panel. The stamped fairy was then added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the fairy’s wings and magic sparkles and added a scattering of Iridescent Sequins for a bit of sparkle.

The Nothing Sweeter stamp set used for a girls birthday card

A Nothing Sweeter Birthday

Posted on December 23, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

A couple of month’s ago I made a birthday card for my brother in law using the Nothing Sweeter stamp set , I liked it so much that I have made a girlie version today.

Girlie Nothing Sweeter Birthday Card

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅛” by 3⅜”. Using the scalloped die from the Sweetly Stitched Framelit dies and my Big Shot, I embossed it 3 times along the bottom of the panel.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Nothing Sweeter stamp set used for a female birthday card

I rounded the upper left corner using the Detailed Trio Punch and added the panel to a Daffodil Delight layer with a rounded upper left corner, measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I wrapped a piece of ⅛” Lovely Lipstick Grosgrain Ribbon around the panel above the scalloped embossing securing it on the back with Sellotape and added a bow with a Mini Dimensional. The panel was then added to a Lovely Lipstick card base with a rounded upper left corner using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Nothing Sweeter stamp set used for a female birthday card

Next I stamped the parcels onto some scrap Whisper White in Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove and Daffodil Delight inks. The outer part of the parcel was stamped in full strength, 1^st generation ink. Inside each parcel was stamped in 2^nd generation ink, ie stamped off once to give a lighter shade. The stripes were added in the 1^st generation ink. The parcels were then die cut using the Sweetly Stitched dies and the Big Shot.

ww.crafty-rootes.com – Nothing Sweeter stamp set used for a female birthday card

The die cut parcels were then added to the card front, the Grapefruit Grove and Daffodil Delight parcels with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the Lovely Lipstick parcel with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the Hand Delivered stamp set was stamped in Daffodil Delight ink onto a ⅜ strip of Whisper White which was trimmed to fit and added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. To finish I added a scattering of Glitter Enamel Dots for a bit of sparkle.

I love the summery colours of this card, so refreshing after all the Christmas colours.

Tutti-Frutti Pandas for Team Training Swaps

Posted on February 23, 2018February 18, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today I’m sharing the swaps Tutti-Frutti Panda cards I have made for tomorrows Team Training Event organised by my lovely Upline Mikaela Titheridge.

wanted to use the absolutely lovely Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes which are one of the free choices with a £45 order in the 2018 Sale-a-Bration brochure. These are so easy to overlook in amongst the more glamourous stamp sets, dsp and dies but they really are lovely, beautiful colours and so versatile. I wanted the pretty card fronts to be seen so looked for a fairly small image for my cards.

www.crafty-rootes.com-Tutti-Frutti-Pandas-For-Team-Training

I settled on the quirky Party Pandas stamp set which is also a free choice from the 2018 Sale-a-Bration brochure. I stamped the sweet panda with the balloon in the lower left corner of a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 2½”. I used Archival Basic Black ink and found I had better results using a stamp positioner such as a Stamparatus with a really well inked pad. I didn’t bother to ink up the balloon as I planned to cover it with dsp balloons. I added the sentiment from the same set in a co-ordinating Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral or Lemon Lime Twist ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com-Tutti-Frutti-Pandas-For-Team-Training

I rounded the upper right corner of the Whisper White cardstock panel using the retired Project life Corner Rounder and added a piece of 3¼” by 1¾” cardstock in either Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral or Lemon Lime Twist behind the lower right corner and added the whole piece to one of the Tutti-Frutti card bases.

www.crafty-rootes.com-Tutti-Frutti-Pandas-For-Team-Training

I punched a selection of large and small balloons from the Bubble & Fizz dsp pack, another free 2018 Sale-a-Bration choice with a £45 order, using the Balloon Bouquet Punch. The smaller balloons were added to the card front with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The larger balloon was added on Stampin’ Dimensionals. Such a cute card and I love that all the items used with the exception of the ink pads were free!!!!

Row of Bottles Bubble Over

Posted on February 9, 2018February 4, 2018 by Mo Rootes

I seem to have a bit of a theme going on this week as today’s project started with the negative image left after die cutting a row of Bottles using the Bottles and Bubbles dies. It was the perfect size to fit a card front and I couldn’t resist adding some fun colours.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bouquet stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I had planned to raise the Chocolate Chip die cut layer on Stampin’ Dimensionals but the strips between the bottles were just too narrow; I ended up gluing it to the Thick Whisper White card base with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I then used Post It Notes to mask off each bottle in turn and added colour to the negative image using Sponge Daubers. I used Berry Burst ink, Lemon Lime Twist ink, Bermuda Bay ink, Calypso Coral ink and Pacific Point ink keeping the colour darkest at the bottom of each bottle. I then stamped the bubble image on each bottle in the co-ordinating ink colour.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Beautiful Bouquet stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

The bottle tops were die cut from a scrap of Silver Foil and added to the top of each bottle with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I added the sentiment from the Party Pandas stamp set, stamped in Chocolate Chip ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock in the bottom left hand corner – to cover a small miss stamp – ssshhh don’t tell………no–one will ever know!!

Magical Days with Rainbows

Posted on January 23, 2018January 22, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Magical Mates stamp set and co-ordinating Magical Mates Framelit dies – OMG I think I have died and gone to heaven and the gorgeous little unicorn image just cried out for the addition of a rainbow.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Magical Mates stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

I began by die cutting 3 layers of cloud using the Rainbow Builder Framelits and panels of Whisper White cardstock 4½” by 4”, 4” by 3½” and 4” by 2”. I stamped the sentiment from the Magical Day stamp set onto the smallest panel in Archival Basic Gray Ink and set it aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Magical Mates stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Taking a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the cute ‘unicorn’ image in Archival Basic Gray Ink. I coloured the mane and tail of the unicorn using Rich Razzelberry, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Elegant Eggplant Marker Pens. Using the Light Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Pen I added some shading to the body of the unicorn softening the edges with the Colour Lifter. I added the hooves using the Dark Smoky Slate Pen. After colouring I die cut the unicorn using the co-ordinating Magical Mates dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Magical Mates stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Using the Rainbow Builder Framelit dies I die cut each layer of the rainbow from a different colour starting with Daffodil Delight and moving through Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist and Elegant Eggplant. I found it easier to adhere the layers of the rainbow to a strip of Whisper White starting with the smallest piece. This also gave the rainbow some stability.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Magical Mates stamp set by Stampin’ Up!

Taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” I positioned the rainbow and clouds roughly where I wanted them, trimming them down if I needed too. When I was happy with the placement I started gluing them down beginning with the rainbow which was adhered with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The tallest layer of cloud was then added with Tombow. The 2^nd layer of cloud was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the unicorn was glued onto the layer using Tombow. The smallest cloud layer with the stamped sentiment was then added with Tombow.

I glued the whole piece to a Rich Razzelberry card base and finished off by covering the clouds in Clear Wink of Stella. Gorgeous, I love it and I know just who to give this card too.

Sweet birthday card featuring ice lollies

Cool Treats Lollies for a 10 year olds party

Posted on October 24, 2017October 23, 2017 by Mo Rootes

I had a great time on Sunday running a craft session at a soon to be 10year old’s birthday party. The birthday girl, her friends and her younger sister were a pleasure to spend time with and they were so enthusiastic. I designed 2 projects using the Cool Treats Stamp set and the co-ordinating Frozen Treats Framelit dies for them to make.

Gorgeous card for a young girls birthday

www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treas Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!

The first was a card and we started by stamping one of the ice lolly images using Flirty Flamingo ink, So Saffron Ink, Peakaboo Peach ink and Lemon Lime Twist ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock. We added the lolly stick using Crumb Cake ink before die cutting the lollies using the Frozen Treats framelit dies. The girls did an amazing job and loved stamping.

Next we inserted 3 strips of cardstock 5⅞” by ¼” in Flirty Flamingo, Peakaboo Peach and So Saffron, into the Seaside Embossing Folder and ran it through the die cutting machine to get some cool texture. The girls loved doing this. We added the embossed strips to a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” using Snail Adhesive and used the Grid Paper to help make sure they were straight. They stamped the sentiment from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous stamp set in Flirty Flamingo ink below the embossed strips.

Using Snail Adhesive they added a Whisper White circle, die cut ahead of time using the Stitched Shapes framelits to a scalloped circle, die cut ahead of time from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock using the Layering Circles framelits. This piece was then added to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals on top of the embossed strips.

The 4 die cut ice lollies were then added to the Whisper White circle with either Snail Adhesive or Stampin’ Dimensionals. The girls then added some Iridescent Sequins using Mini Glue Dots and a Paper Piercer, they loved these. To finish we stamped another lolly and lolly stick onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” for the inside and onto the front of a Whisper White Envelope.

Dainty little gift bag for a young girls birthday

www.crafty-rootes.com – Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelit dies by Stampin’ Up!

For the second project we took a piece of Whisper white cardstock 8½” by 3½” and stamped a variety of ice lollies along one of the long sides in Flirty Flamingo, So saffron, Peakaboo Peach, Lemon Lime Twist and Pool Party ink, the girls even did a little 2 step stamping which they loved. To make the project go faster I had already stamped the lolly sticks along one of the 8½” sides using Crumb Cake ink and applied Tear & Tape to the back of the stamped side and along one of the 3½” sides.

Next they folded and burnished the base of the bag which I had scored and cut for them. I started with a 3” by 3” piece of Whisper White cardstock and scoring at ½” on all 4 sides then cutting up the score lines to form 4 tabs. I had added Tear & Tape to the tabs ahead of time and the girls removed the backing and adhered the tabs to the outside of the base. They then removed the backing from the adhesive on the long side and adhered it to the base, starting from the middle of one of the sides and wrapping it around pressing it into place as they went. The backing was then removed from the remaining short edge and overlapped to seal the sides of the bag.

They curled 2 strips of Whisper White cardstock 8” by ½” using a Bone Folder before applying a Mini Glue Dot to both ends of each strip and adding them to the inside of the bag to form the handles. To finish off they decorated the outside with Iridescent Sequins which they stuck on with Mini Glue Dots.

They did so well and their cards and bags looked amazing and I just love the summery colours..
