Twisted Kintsugi Card – Share It Sunday Blog Hop

Posted on October 26, 2025October 13, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects we have been working on. My twisted Kinsugi card was inspired by Julie Davison – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAaB4fg3Oq8 and I made it using the Inspiring Imperfections stamp set and dies with the Kintsugi Inspirations designer series paper (dsp) to make my version of Julie’s card.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the twisted kintsugi card, you will need:

Misty Moonlight card base – 10¼” by 4 x 2 scored at 5½”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3¾”
Kintsugi Inspirations dsp – 3¾” by 3¾” cut in half on the diagonal from corner to corner
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Scrap Kintsugi Inspirations dsp and Cloud Cover card

With a pencil, mark each of the smaller panels of the card bases at 4” then score from the 4” mark to the upper corner on both pieces of card

Ruby Wedding Card

Posted on July 13, 2025July 6, 2025 by Mo Rootes

I made this shaker card to celebrate the ruby wedding anniversary (40^th) of my brother and sister-in-law which is today. I made it using the new Party Alphabet dies and the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

To recreate the ruby anniversary card, you will need:

Season of Elegance dsp – 7¾” by 3¼”
Thick Basic White card – 7½” by 3”
Window Sheet – 7⅜” by 2⅞” x 2

I lined the letters RUBY on the 7½” by 3” panel of Thick Basic White card making sure to get them as straight as possible. I held them in position with small pieces of Washi Tape from my stash and die cut them out. I removed the letters and set them aside as I did not need them for this card, but I did need the inner pieces from the R and the B.

The negative die cut panel and the inner pieces from the R and B were then embossed using the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder.

I dropped a pinch of sequins into each letter. I ran a bead of Multipurpose Liquid on top of the Adhesive Strip and added the second piece of Window Sheet overtop to seal the sequins in.

Scrap Basic White & Garden Green card

I glued the folded back panel of the Crumb Cake card base to the card front.

Using the Glass & Garden Embossing Folders I embossed the panel of Basic Beige card. I glued the embossed panel to the slightly larger piece of Basic White card and glued the piece to the front panel of the card.

From the panels of 4¾” by 3½” card I die cut 2 ovals, The stitched oval from the Garden Green piece and a plain oval from the Basic White and Basic Beige pieces.

I stamped the sentiment, from the Lifetime of Love stamp set in Versamark in onto the white oval. I covered it with Copper Metallic Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. The Garden Green stitched frame was then glued around the embossed oval. I added the Basic Beige oval to the back before gluing the oval to the left side of the card front.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a selection of the detailed flowers with Crumb Cake ink. I added the flower centres with Versamark ink covered it with Copper Embossing Powder and heat set it. The flowers were then die cut using the Impressions Abloom Dies. I also die cut 5 of the decorative leaves from scrap Garden Green card. I arranged the flowers and leaves around the oval holding them in place with glue or Dimensionals.

Notes & Totes Pop Up Gift Card Holder

Posted on April 18, 2025May 11, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Today’s pop up gift card holder is made using the adorable Notes and Totes Dies which will be available on the 6^th May in my online store. I have used the dies with the lovely Friends of the Ocean dsp which is sadly retiring. This card was inspired by a video made by Becca of Becca’s Kreations

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the notes & totes pop up gift card holder, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Friends of the Ocean dsp – 5½” by 3¾”

I die cut a stitched circle from the square of Basic White card using the Stylish Shapes Dies. The ‘ground’ image, from the Scenic Adventures stamp set was stamped along the bottom using Crumb Cake ink. I cut off one side of the circle and adhered it to the card front.

Using the Notes & Dotes Dies I die cut the bag, twice from scrap Friends of the Ocean dsp. I die cut 2 handles from scrap Basic White card and glued one to each of the die cut bags. I trimmed the tabs off the bottom of each die cut bag and then trimmed the bottom tabs in half. The remaining scorelines were folded and burnished and the 2 outer tabs of each bag were adhered together to close the bag. I applied glue to each of the tabs at the base of the bag positioned it against the scoreline on the inside of the card front and closed the bag to secure it in position.

The water bottle, sunscreen bottle and lotion dispenser were all die cut from scrap from scrap Friends of the Ocean dsp. The tops of all the bottles were die cut from scrap Basic White card and glued in position.

I folded the two side flaps of the bag inwards and glued them down. The tab on the bottom of the die cut bag was snipped off the bottom also adhered down. The 2 white straps were then adhered to the front of the die cut bag along the line of the seam. I had die cut these on card with some adhesive sheet applied to the reverse to make this easier. I then adhered the bottom piece and the bag handle using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The bag was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The tops of all the bottles were also die cut from scrap Basic White card, trimmed down and glued in position over the die cut dsp pieces. The bottles were then added to the die cut stitched circle using either Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive or Dimensionals.
