Posted on October 11, 2025October 11, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we are sharing Autumn themed projects. I have made my card using the Loveliest Tree stamp set and a shredded paper technique.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the tree in Autumn card, you will need:

Basic Beige card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Early Espresso card – 4⅛” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4” by 3”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Strips of Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green & Pecan Pie – 1” by ⅜” – one of each colour
Scrap Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green & Pecan Pie

I stamped the tree in Early Espresso on the small panel of Basic White card. I added a base colour to the tree canopy using a dark Old Olive Blends Pen.

Using Scissors I roughed up the side of scraps of Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green and Pecan Pie card until I had a pile of fluff.

I covered the canopy of the tree with a light coating of Multipurpose liquid Adhesive and patted the ‘fluff’ onto the sticky area and set it aside to dry.

Colour was then added to the sky and the ground using Blending Brushes and Blueberry Bushel and Granny Apple Green ink. To give more texture to ground I stamped the ‘water’ image from the Scenic Adventure stamp set using second generation Granny Apple Green ink. The whole panel was then glued to the Early Espresso panel which was then added to the Basic Beige card front.

The trio of ⅜” strips were tucked in under the raised panel and the sentiment, from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set was then stamped with Early Espresso ink.

Mountain View Card

Posted on October 10, 2025October 2, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Here is a pretty card inspired by Lorraine Tierney using the gorgeous Scenic Adventures stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the mountain view card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½”
Smoky Slate card – 4½” by 2¼”
Secret Sea card – 3½” by 2”
Shaded Spruce card – 4½” by 1½”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 1¼”

Using the Everyday Arches dies, I die cut an arch from the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White card. I set the die cut arch to one side to use in another project. The remaining negative panel was placed in the centre of the Thick Basic card front. Using a pencil, I marked the position of all 4 corners. This will guide me when I start stamping.

The clouds were stamped in Cloud Cover ink from one side of the card front to the other below the pencil lines. I continued adding clouds until I had covered ½ the card.

I die cut the following pieces using the Scenic Adventures Dies – the mountain from the Smoky Slate and Secret Sea panels. The shrubby banks from the piece of Shaded Spruce card and the flowers from the strip of Basic White card.

Using a Sponge Dauber, I added smoky Slate ink to the Smoky Slate mountain and adhered the Secret Sea mountain behind, trimming off the bits that stick out. The shrubby layer was then glued in front of the mountain.

The ‘water’ image was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink from one side of the card front to the other above the pencil lines. I needed to stamp about 3 lines of water. The die cut piece was then glued above the stamped water to the card front.

I used the dark Granny Apple Green Blends Pen to colour in the leaves and stems of the flowers. The flowers were then coloured using the light Poppy Parade Blends Pen. The flowers were then adhered to the card front.

The negative arch was then added to the front of the card on Dimensionals to frame the scene.

A trio of Iridescent Pearls completed the card.

Trick or Treat Card – Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on October 9, 2025October 2, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop where we are making ‘trick or treat’ cards using the Twisted in Time stamp set and the Thoughtful Journey dsp.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the trick or treat card, you will need:

Night of Navy card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Thoughtful Journey dsp – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 4⅛” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

The twisted tree image was stamped in Secret Sea ink onto the panel of Thoughtful Journey dsp. I used a stamp positioner because I wanted to stamp the image multiple times to get a darker image, but you can just ink it very well and use an E block.

The leafy canopy was then added with Secret Sea ink. I used a Blender Pen to colour each leaf with Whisper White ink. All the leaves were coloured once; others were coloured multiple times to give added texture.

Using Blending Brushes I added Misty Moonlight ink to the edges of the stamped dsp. Next, I added Night of Navy ink to build up the depth of colour. Finally, I added Secret Sea ink to all 4 corners.

A little water was added to the Whisper White ink in the lid of the ink pad. The watery ink was then flicked onto the inked panel using a paint brush. The whole panel was then glued to the 5⅛” by 3⅜” piece of Basic White card. I mounted it to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Throughout the Year stamp set was stamped onto the strip of Basic White card with Night of Navy ink. I used washi tape to mask of the words and stamped each word in turn. I flagged the ends of the strip and added it to the card front.

A pretty Christmas card made using the Ornamental Christmas and Pine Tree Trimmings stamp sets from Stampin' Up! and a masking technique

Masked Trees Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on October 7, 2025September 30, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects using the masking technique. I have made my card using the Ornamental Christmas stamp set.

Colours used to make my card are:

To recreate the masked trees card, you will need:

Summer Splash card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by 3”
Secret Sea card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5⅞” by ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

I stamped the tree in the centre of the 5⅞” by 3” panel of Basic White card using Secret Sea ink. The same image was stamped onto the Masking Paper using the same ink. I fussy cut the mask out rather than die cutting it as the mask needed to be cut along the stamped line.

The mask was then adhered over the stamped tree and the second tree stamped to the right of the original. The third tree was the stamped to the left of the first tree.

The mask was then peeled up and placed over the second tree before the fourth tree was stamped and moved again, placed over the third tree and the fifth tree was added.

The strips of Secret Sea card were glued to the top and bottom of the stamped panel and the whole piece was mounted onto the Summer Splash card front on Dimensionals.
