Posted on July 11, 2026July 5, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we have a Tic Tac Toe board to inspire us. I have chosen – Patterned Paper, Fun Fold and Ribbon/Twine to make my card.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the beautiful violet fun fold card using the following supplies:

Peaceful Pine card base – 11” by 4⅛” scored at 2⅛”, 4¼” and 5½” on the long side
Peaceful Pine – 4⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White – 3⅞” by 1⅛”
Violet Dreams dsp – 3¾” by 1”
Basic White – 4⅛” by 4”
Violet Dreams dsp – 3⅞” by ⅝”
Highland Heather – 3¾” by 3”
Basic White – 3⅝” by 2⅞”
Scrap Basic White

Fold and burnish the centre scoreline then fold the other two scorelines backwards. Glue the 3¾” by 1” piece of Violet Dreams dsp to the panel of Basic White card measuring 3⅞” by 1⅛”. This can be added to the 1¼” section by the centre scoreline.

I wrapped a length of Fresh Freesia Ribbon around the dsp panel, securing it on the back with Tear and Tape before gluing the decorated panel to the back of the card to form the book fold portion.

I stamped the cluster of violets with Secret Sea ink onto the 3⅝” by 2⅞” piece of Basic White card. The image was coloured in using the following Blends Pens – Light & Dark Highland Heather, Light Golden Glow and Light & Dark Peaceful Pine. I used a Blending Brush to add a little Fresh Freesia ink to the background to help ‘ground’ the image. The stamped panel was then adhered to the Highland Heather layer and then to the Peaceful Pine Z fold flap.

The sentiment was stamped on the die cut white circle with Old Olive ink. This circle was then glued to the Gray Granite circle. This was then mounted onto the card front on Dimensionals.

On scrap Basic White card, we stamped the tiny cluster of flowers with Calypso Coral ink and added the leaves around the image with Old Olive ink and die cut the piece out. From the piece of Silver Foil, we die cut the fork and adhered it to the handle. The tool was then added to the die cut circle.

Posted on April 27, 2026April 17, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are working it a dice roll challenge. We are creating projects featuring – neutrals, a fancy fold, a punch or die cut, a trinket and the sentiment ‘for you’.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the flowers fair overlay card using the following supplies:

Thick Basic White card base – 5⅞”” by 5⅛ scored on the short-side at 4⅛”
Thick Basic White – 4⅛ by 3⅛”
Basic White – 3¼” by 3”
Seasons of Elegance dsp – 5¾” by ¾”
Seasons of Elegance dsp – 4” by 1¼” x 2
Scrap Basic White

I glued the longer, thinner piece of Season of Elegance designer series paper to the top flap of the card base and the remaining two pieces either side of the inside of the card base and set it aside.

As the Flowers Fair stamp is large, I used a Stamp Positioner to stamp the image onto the 3¼” by 3” piece of Basic White card using Early Espresso ink.

The image was coloured using the following Blends Pens – Gray Granite, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie. The decorated panel was then glued to the bottom of the Thick Basic White panel measuring 4⅛ by 3⅛”. The top of the panel was then glued in the centre of the top flap on the back.

The sentiment was stamped on scrap Basic White card with Early Espresso and die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies.

I found a pretty dragonfly charm in my stash and hung it from the back of the sentiment banner with Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine, securing it in position with Tear and Tape.

A floating inner panel card made using the Help Me Grow stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up!

Garden Themed Floating Inner Card

Posted on April 11, 2026April 10, 2026 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. Love a fun fold and decided to make a garden themed floating inner card using the gorgeous Help Me Grow stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

I created the pretty pink floral card using the following supplies:

Cajun Craze card – 5¾” by 4⅛” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3⅞” x 3
Painted Illusions dsp – 5⅜” by 3¾” x 3
Basic White card – 4½” by 3½”

Thick Basic White card – 11” by 4” scored at 2¾”, 5½” & 8¼”
Petal Pink card – 3¾” by 2½” x 4 x 4
Painted Illusions dsp – 3⅝” by 2⅜” x 4
Basic White card – 3½” by 2¼” x 4
Scrap Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Granny Apple Green, Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Pecan Pie & Silver Foil

The larger panels of Painted Illusions dsp were adhered to the three larger pieces of Basic White card. Two of these dsp pieces were then glued to the larger Basic White panels, one on the front and the other on the back – this will be the front of the card. The last panel was then glued to the front of the remaining large piece of Cajun Craze card.

The four smaller panels of Painted Illusions dsp were glued to the four smaller pieces of Cajun Craze card and adhered them to the 4 panels of the 11” by 4” Basic White card. This is the floating inner panel.

The left-hand panel of the floating inner was placed onto the back of the front panel, lined up with the edge of the Basic White layer and glued into position. I repeated this step with right-hand panel and the back part of the card base.

Using the Every Day Arches Dies I cut a large arch from the 4½” by 3½” of Basic White card. I also cut 4 smaller arches from the 3½” by 2¼” pieces of Basic White card.

I used a Blending Brush to add some Lemon Lolly ink to the die cut arches before adhering them to the card.

Let the decorating begin – for the front I stamped, and die cut a pot using Cajun Craze ink. I die cut the saucer from Basic White scrap and added Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow ink with Sponge Daubers. I cut a slit at the top of the pot and added leaves, die cut from scrap Granny Apple and Pretty Peacock card. The flowers were cut from scrap Lemon Lolly and White card and the yellow centres added with a Lemon Lolly Blends Pen. All the pieces were then arranged on the card front.

A selection of pots, saucers, leaves, flowers, soil and tools were stamped and or die cut before being added to the inside of the card on the floating panel.
