Gorgeous Butterfly double z fold birthday card using Stampin' Up! product

Share What You Love Butterfly

Posted on June 12, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I have been making a birthday card for a friend using the lovely Share What you Love dsp as a starting point.

Making the card

I began with a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 11” by 5½” which I scored on the long side at 2¾” by 5½” using my Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I took a 2^nd piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock 9¼” by 4¼” and scored it at 2¾” and 5½” on the long side. I then folded and burnished all of the score lines.

I chose a pattern from the Share What You Love dsp and cut 2 panels at 5⅜” by 2⅝” and one panel at 5⅜” by 5⅜”. I then adhered these to the larger Thick Whisper White panel leaving a tiny border round each panel.

I then cut panels in Pear Pizzazz cardstock – one at 4” by 3½” and two at 4” by 2⅝” and 2 Whisper White panels 3⅞” by 2⅜”.

I ran the larger Pear Pizzazz panel through the Big Shot with the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder. And adhered the piece to the largest panel of the 9¼” by 4¼” Thick Whisper White cardstock using Tombow Liquid Glue.

I stamped the sentiment from the Very Vintage stamp set in the lower left corner of one of the Whisper White panels using Pear Pizzazz ink. Before stamping I cut the sentiment apart with a sharp pair of scissors. I added the small flowers from the Love What you Do stamp set around the sentiment and in the upper right corner of the 2^nd Whisper White panel in Pool Party ink. I added both panels to the Pear Pizzazz layers with Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

Taking some scrap Whisper White cardstock and some scrap Vellum I die cut the gorgeous large butterfly using the Springtime Dies. I adhered the 2 together with Mini Glue Dots and added them to the front of the card with Mini Glue Dots. I finished the card off by adding some Glitter Enamel Dots (retired) to the body of the butterfly.

I then glued the 2 parts of the card together. I really hope my friend likes her card.

Special Birthday card using Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin' Up!

Number of Years and Birthday Blooms for a Special Birthday

Posted on May 29, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card I made using the Birthday Blooms stamp set, the Number of Years Stamp set and the Large Numbers dies. These are all retiring from the Annual Catalogue on the 31^st of May and I will really miss them. I made this card for my Mum who is celebrating her special birthday in a couple of days.

Making the card

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin’ Up!

I chose 2 patterns from the Tutti-Frutti dsp stack and cut 2 panels at 5⅜” by 2⅝” and one panel at 5⅝” by 5⅝”. I then adhered these to the larger Thick Whisper White panel leaving a tiny border round each panel.

I then cut panels in Lemon Lime Twist cardstock – one at 4” by 3½” and two at 4” by 2⅝” and Whisper White panels – one at 3⅞” by 3⅜” and two at 3⅞” by 2⅜”.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Birthday Blooms and Number of Years by Stampin’ Up!

On the larger Whisper White panel I stamped the large rose image from the Birthday Blooms stamp set in the lower left hand corner using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped the smaller rose image in the bottom left or top right on the remaining Whisper White panels. I coloured the flowers in with the Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and the Light and Dark Old Olive Blends Pens.

I stamped the word ‘birthday’ using Momento Tuxedo Black ink on the on the panel with the small bloom in the lower left hand corner. I took some scrap Lemon Lime Twist cardstock and die cut each of the numbers 3 times using my Big Shot and glued them together to give added dimension. I then glued them to the largest stamped Whisper White panel. The word ‘happy’ and ‘th’ were then stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black ink either side of the die cut numbers. I rounded one corner of each of the Whisper White panels and the same corners on the Lemon Lime Twist panels using the new Detailed Trio Punch. These panels were then adhered together with Tombow liquid Adhesive and added to the small Thick Whisper White panel. I then glued the 2 main panels together.

To finish off I made an envelope using my Envelope Punch Board and the gorgeous Delightful Daisy dsp which will also retire on the 31^st May.

I love the bright, sunny colours used on this card. I really hope my Mum likes it.

Bird Banter card

Posted on April 3, 2018March 27, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a sweet little card made using the Bird Banter stamp set from the Spring/Summer Catalogue.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bird Banter by Stampin’ Up!

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 3⅞” by 2⅜”. I stamped the sentiment in Momento Tuxedo Black ink at the bottom of the panel and added the ‘toucan’ image on top using the same ink. I added the balloon in the Momento Tuxedo Black ink.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bird Banter by Stampin’ Up!

I used the following Stampin’ Blends to colour in the image – Light & Dark Night of Navy, Light & Dark Bermuda Bay, Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and Light & Dark Pool Party. I added a retired Black Rhinestone eye to the bird.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Bird Banter by Stampin’ Up!

I rounded the top of the panel with my Envelope Punch Board and backed it with a panel of Daffodil Delight cardstock measuring 4” by 2½”, also with a rounded corner.

Taking a Pool Party card base I stamped the left side of the card front using Pool Party ink and added a 5⅞” by ¾” piece of Bubble and Fizz dsp using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The stamped panel was added to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Such a simple, sweet card. Hope you like it.

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!!!!

Chocolate Cake Soiree

Posted on February 13, 2018February 12, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Today’s card, featuring a spectacular Chocolate Cake made using the Cake Soiree stamp set and Sweet Cake framelit dies, was inspired by a stunning card made by Carolyn Bennie, a fellow demonstrator from Australia. I love Carolyn’s technique for water colouring on dark cardstock and couldn’t wait to give it a go.

I began by stamping the gorgeous ‘floral cake’ image in Versamark Ink onto a scrap piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I covered the stamped image with White Embossing Powder and heat set it using my Heat Tool. When the image was dry I added colour using my Watercolor Pencils; starting with the lightest Calypso Coral and working through the Melon Mambo and finishing with touches of Rich Razzelberry to add intensity. I added a little Daffodil Delight to the flower centres as well. I love the soft look of this technique. Following Carolyn’s tutorial I then added Early Espresso shadowing on the cake itself, it does give a subtle impression of dimension. The cake was then die cut using my Big Shot and the Sweet Cake framelit dies.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Cake Soiree by Stampin’ Up

I die cut the cake base and stand from scrap Whisper White cardstock and added them to the back of the die cut cake with Tombow Liquid Glue.

www.crafty-rootes.com- Cake Soiree by Stampin’ Up!

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and added a 5½” by 3¾” layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock. This was topped with a panel of Calypso Coral dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” taken from the Delightful Daisy dsp pack. The cake was added to the lower right corner with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using Versamark ink I stamped the Happy Birthday from the same stamp set, having masked off the rest of the sentiment with a post it note onto a scrap of Chocolate Chip cardstock. I added White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool before trimming it out with scissors and adding it to the card front on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Love the way the card turned out and that cake looks yummy!

Picnic With You card designed by Mo Rootes

Stamp ‘N Hop for a Spring Picnic With You

Posted on February 10, 2018February 9, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘N Hop blog hop! My name is Maureen but most people, other than my Mother call me Mo and I live just outside Cambridge in the UK. The theme of this month’s hop is a favourite item from the Occasions catalogue which is available until 31 May 2018. Decisions, decisions what to choose, the new catalogue is packed with fab things……..hmm………in the end I chose the Picnic For You stamp set and co-ordinating Picnic Basket Builder dies. I am ssoooo… ready for Spring and I love a picnic, so a perfect choice.

Picnic With You Card – Method and Supplies

I started by stamping the basket from the Picnic With You stamp set in Soft Suede ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the loaves in 1^st and 2^nd generation Soft Suede ink then the outline cupcakes using the same ink. The icing for the cupcakes was added in Berry Burst ink. The cute little bottle was stamped in Night of Navy ink. I stamped the apples in Pear Pizzazz ink and added a touch of Berry Burst ink to one side with a Sponge Dauber. The checked cloth was stamped in Berry Burst ink and everything was then die cut using the Picnic Basket Builder dies and the Big Shot.

Taking a piece of the Color Theory dsp 5¼” by 3½” I added ½ a Delicate Doily towards the bottom and stuck all the die cut elements using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The basket was added on top on Stampin’ Dimensionals and the checked cloth glued on with Tombow. The basket looked lovely and full.

I added a panel of Soft Suede cardstock 5” by 2¼” behind the upper left hand corner of the dsp before adding the whole piece to a Thick Whisper White card base. The sentiment was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and trimmed out with Scissors. I felt the sentiment needed a pop of colour so added a small piece of Berry Burst cardstock punched with the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch. Perfect………looks good enough to eat.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today and please hop around all the other blogs to see what my talented fellow demonstrators have designed, enjoy. Next up is the lovely Laurie Meier so hop on to see what she has to share today, or go back to look at the project shared by the talented Kat Spencer.

Heartfelt Blooms with added colour

Posted on January 2, 2018January 1, 2018 by Mo Rootes

Heartfelt Blooms is a fab new stamp set which will be available from tomorrow, free in Sale-a-Bration with £45 order from my online store.

When I took the stamp out of the case I was a bit surprised to see that the face of the rubber stamp had very little texture, I wondered if it was defective. I inked up the image using Smoky Slate ink and stamped it onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock and WOW the image had so much definition, I loved it.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Heartfelt Blooms by Stampin’ Up!

I took the gorgeous new Stampin’ Blends in light & dark Pink Pirouette, light & dark Old Olive, light Daffodil Delight, light Rich Razzelberry & light Calypso Coral and coloured in the flowers and leaves giving the image a really soft look.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Heartfelt Blooms by Stampin’ Up!

I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set in Old Olive ink and added the piece to a layer of Daisy Delight dsp using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped a piece of Silver Edged Metallic Ribbon to the bottom of the piece then added the whole panel to the front of a Pink Pirouette card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish off I added some Clear Epoxy Shapes to mimic dewdrops – Gorgeous.

Number of Years stamp set and Large Number framelit dies for a big birthday

Posted on November 7, 2017November 5, 2017 by Mo Rootes

I have been making a special birthday card this week for my father-in-law using the versatile Number of Years stamp set and the co-ordinating Large Numbers framelit dies. He is 96 tomorrow and looking fantastic.

I started with a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3⅝” by 3” and die cut the 96 from the centre of the panel. I added the die cut numbers to my stash as I planned to use the negative image for the card. I took the panel and stamped the ‘happy’ above the die cut aperture and the ‘birthday’ below the die cut using Tranquil Tide ink. Both words came from the Number of Years stamp set.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Number of Years stamp set and Large Letter dies by Stampin’ Up!

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and added a piece of Delightful Daisy dsp 4⅛” by 2¾” to the front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Number of Years stamp set and Large Letter dies by Stampin’ Up!

I added the die cut piece on top of the dsp using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I stamped the ‘th’ in Tranquil Tide cardstock using Tranquil Tide ink, flagged the end using scissors and added it to the card front using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. To finish off I added some of the Silver Metallic Enamel Shapes.
