I really wanted to make a card using a monochromatic colour scheme and pulled out the Tropical Chic stamp set to make this card. I love this stamp set but it hasn’t had much love lately.
Making the Monochromatic Tropical Chic card
www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card
I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝” and stamped 3 of the leaf images from the stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink, Gray Granite ink or Smoky Slate ink. I concentrated the images down the left hand side of the panel overlapping to add some dimension.

I wrapped a piece of Black Shimmer Ribbon around the panel securing it on the back with Sellotape. The layer was then added to a panel of Basic Black cardstock measuring 5 ½” by 3 ¾” using Multipurpose liquid Adhesive. This was then added to a Gray Granite card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Monochromatic Tropical Chic thank you card
The sentiment was stamped in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and die cut using the Layering Oval Dies and my Big Shot. I then die cut a scalloped oval from the same die cut and glued the two layers together using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This was then added over the ribbon on Stampin’ Dimensionals. To finish the card I added some Faceted Dots.
I really like the monochromatic look of this card. I hope you like it.

Today I have been using the Seasoned With Kindness stamp set to make a sweet thank you card. This is such a sweet stamp set with great images to use for 2 or 3 step stamping.
Making the Seasoned With Kindness card
I started with a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 4¾” by 3⅛”. I inked up the outline pot stamp with Early Espresso ink and stamped it 3 times from left to right. I then stamped in inside of the pots using Balmy Blue ink.
www.crafty-rootes.com -Seasoned with kindness by Stampin Up
Starting with the pot on the right, I stamped the outline of the plant in Pear Pizzazz ink and the inside of the plant in 2nd generation Pear Pizzazz ink. The leaves of the centre plant were stamped in Garden Green ink and the inside of the leaves in 2nd generation Garden Green. I added the flower in Lovely Lipstick ink.
The plant in the left hand pot was stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and I stamped the tiny sentiment label in Granny Apple Green ink and fussy cut it out. I wrapped some Linen Thread around the bottom of the card and tied it in a bow.

I added the stamped layer to a layer of Early Espresso cardstock measuring 4⅞” by 3¼” using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added this to a layer of Lovely Lipstick cardstock 5” by 3⅝” using the same glue.
www.crafty-rootes.com -Seasoned with kindness by Stampin Up
I had originally planned to add this layer to the front of a Thick Whisper White card base but on reflection decided it needed something more. After trying a few different options I settled on a piece of Wood Textures dsp cut at 5⅞” by 4⅛” which I cut in half diagonally and added this to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive adding the stamped layer over top on dimensionals.
This is such a sweet card. I hope you like it.

I love the sweet little rhino from the Animal Outing stamp set and have used it today for a simple thank you card.
Making the Rhino card
www.crafty-rootes.com- Rhino from the Animal Outings stamp set
I stamped the rhino using Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a panel of Whisper White 3” by 3” and die cut it out using the Layering Circle dies and my Big Shot. I coloured the rhino using the Light & Dark Smoky Slate and Ivory Blends pens. The tiny bird was coloured using the Light Calypso Coral. I backed the stamped piece onto a Scalloped circle cut from Calypso Coral cardstock using my Big Shot and Layering Circle Dies.
www.crafty-rootes.com- Rhino from the Animal Outings stamp set
Taking a Thick Whisper White card base I adhered a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a piece of Garden Impressions dsp 5⅜” by 3⅝” and placed a 4” by ⅜” strip of Shaded Spruce from left to right to add interest to the panel. The stamped panel was then added overtop on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set was inked in Shaded Spruce and stamped onto a 2” by ¼” strip of Whisper White cardstock and cut down to size. It was added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Such a quirky little card, hope you like it.

Today I am sharing the projects we made in this month’s classes using the Love What You Do stamp set and Share What You Love designer series paper (dsp).
www.crafty-rootes.com – Love What You Do and Share What You Love by Stampin’ Up!
Card 1 – scatter of flowers
We started with a layer of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5¼” by 3½” and stamped the large watercolor image in 2nd generation Pool Party ink. Second generation is when you ink up a stamp, stamp onto scrap paper then stamp the 2nd generation, or 3rd or 4th generation, onto your project.
I inked up the small flower images in Rich Razzelberry ink and stamped them from the bottom left to the top right of the Pool Party stamped image. Taking a Blender Pen and the Rich Razzelberry ink pad I coloured in the small flowers.
The sentiment from the Hand Delivered stamp set was stamped in Rich Razzelberry ink onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 2” by ⅜” and trimmed a banner end using my Paper Snips. I added the sentiment to slightly larger piece of Rich Razzelberry cardstock and tucked a cut down piece of Pearlized Doily behind using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This was added to the stamped panel on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The whole panel was then added to a piece of Rich Razzelberry cardstock 5½” by 3” and adhered this panel to a Thick Whisper White card base on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a scrap of Rich Razzelberry and Pool Party cardstock to the lop left hand corner of the stamped panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive after banner ending with paper Snips. Finally I added a small bow made with White and Silver Baker’s Twine.

Card 2 – Embossed background
We took a 5” by 3⅝” panel of Pool Party cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot with the Lovely Floral Embossing folder. This panel was then adhered to the right hand side of the Thick Whisper White card base with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Taking the 3½” by 2¾” panel of Whisper White cardstock we stamped the Watercolor image in 2nd generation pool Party ink in the centre. We inked up the largest flower and stamped it in Rich Razzelberry ink and added the 2 leaves in Pool Party ink. This panel was then added to a layer of Rich Razzelberry cardstock 3⅝” by 2⅞” with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
Taking a small piece of the Share What You Love dsp we flagged one end and adhered it to the embossed Pool Party layer. The stamped panel was then added over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment from the hand Delivered stamp set was stamped onto a scrap of Whisper White 2½” by ⅜” and added to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Card 3 – Thank You card
We again stamped the watercolor image in 2nd generation Pool party ink onto a panel of Whisper White 4” by 2¾” and stamped the flower image overtop in Rich Razzelberry ink. We also stamped the flowers in Rich Razzelberry ink onto a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock. After colouring the flowers in using the Rich Razzelberry ink pad and Blender Pens we cut them out using paper snips and adhered them to the stamped panel. We added the stamped panel to a piece of Rich Razzelberry cardstock4 ¼” by 2” and set it to one side.
We added a piece of Share What You Love dsp to the front of a Pool Party card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesivebefore adding the stamped panel overtop on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Today I am sharing a card I made using the lovely new Rooted In Nature stamp set and the co-ordinating Nature’s Roots dies.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card
I inked up the large Tree Rings background stamp with Soft Suede ink, I always find in easier with the larger stamps to lay them face up on my stamping surface before inking them up and laying the cardstock on top. I used Crumb Cake cardstock 4⅜” by 3″ for this card and used a scrap piece of printer paper to lay over the top and rubbed to make sure the ink transfer evenly. I think the result looks great and adds lovely texture to the card. I mounted this panel onto a layer of Soft Suede cardstock 4½” by 3⅛”.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card
Taking the ‘pine tree’ stamp I placed it on a C block and inked up the tree canopy using my Granny Apple Green ink pad. I inked the trunk of the tree using a Soft Suede Marker Pen and using a Shaded Spruce Marker Pen I coloured in small areas of the tree canopy. I huffed on the stamp to re-moisten the ink and stamped it down onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3½” by 2½” and die cut it out using the Nature’s Roots Framelit Dies and my Big Shot.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card
I die cut a Petal Pink circle using the Layering Circle Dies. I added this to the bottom of the stamped panel with Tombow Liquid Adhesive and trimmed off the excess. I added the off cut piece from the Petal Pink circle to the back of the stamped panel to add a little more interest.
www.crafty-rootes.com – Rooted in Nature thank you card
I added this whole panel to the front of a Granny Apple Green card base (love this colour) using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. The tree was then added to the Petal Pink semi-circle on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped the sentiment from the Abstract Impressions stamp set in Soft Suede ink at the bottom of the card front. I am really happy with the way this card looks. Hope you like it!
