A pretty floral card made using the pretty Vintage Christams stamp set for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Vintage Bottle card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Posted on June 23, 2022July 3, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we have been given a colour challenge. I have chosen to use one of the sets I pre-ordered from the July – December Mini Catalogue called Vintage Christmas. I do love a set that co-ordinates with something I already have and this set pairs with the Vintage Bottle Punch.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Vintage Bottle card, you will need:

Melon Mambo card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 3¾” by 2⅜”
Basic White card – 4” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 1½” by 1½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

I began by stamping the taller bottle with Starry Sky ink onto scrap Basic White card and punching it out using the Vintage Bottle Punch.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using Tahitian Tide ink, I stamped the smaller bottle onto the 4” by 2¾” panel of Basic White card. I placed the punched bottle overlapping the stamped bottle, for placement and stamped the trio of flowers in Melon Mambo ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using Parakeet Party ink, I stamped the single sprig around the flowers. I deliberately didn’t ink up the berries at the base of the sprig. The flower centres were added using the same ink. The tall bottle was then glued to the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was then die cut using a Stitched Rectangle Die. The stitched rectangle was then glued to the Starry Sky panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

Using the trio of flowers, I stamped in the upper left and lower right corners of the Melon Mambo card base using Melon Mambo ink. At this point I decided I needed more white in the background so I cut the 1½” square of Basic White card on the diagonal and added one triangle to the upper left corner and the other to the lower right corner of the stamped panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Vintage Christmas stamp set used to make a pretty floral card for the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop

The stamped piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals. The sentiment, from the Cup of Tea stamp set was inked up in Starry Sky ink and stamped onto scrap Basic White card. I then trimmed it out, flagging the ends before I added it to the card front.
