A scalloped rectangle was die cut from the 5” by 3½” panel of Basic White card using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Scalloped Contour Dies. I used Post It Notes Ito mask off the stitched lines of the scalloped rectangle ready to stamp my image.

I inked up the double flower image with Basic Gray ink and randomly stamped flowers all over the scalloped rectangle. Berry sprigs were added using the same ink.

The flowers were coloured using the light & dark Flirty Flamingo Blends Alcohol Markers and the centres were coloured with the light Smoky Slate Blends Alcohol Marker. After the images were stamped, I removed the masks and added the panel to the card front on Dimensionals.

Hello and welcome to the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop where our theme is Winter/Holiday. I have chosen to make a pretty Christmas card using the Christmas Season stamp set.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive I tucked the leaves and berries in around the sentiment and added a scattering of dots in Pool Party ink. I still felt something was missing so die cut a couple of the leaves from the Seasonal Layers Dies from scraps of Gold Foil and added them to the panel.

Poinsettia Bauble for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on November 27, 2021November 25, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Tree Decorations’ – such a fun challenge. I have used the gorgeous Poinsettia Dies to make a hanging bauble for my tree.

Colours used in the Poinsettia Bauble are:

To recreate this project, you will need:

4” wooden circle
Real Red card – 8¼” by 3¼”

Using a Big Bite hole puncher, I punched hole at the top of the 4” wooden circle. I used the Birch background stamp and Early Espresso ink and stamped it onto the circle and set it aside to dry. I mounted the stamp on a Stamparatus Plate as I find this easier to manage.

Adorning Designs for the Ink and Inspirations Blog Hop

Posted on October 28, 2021October 22, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink and Inspiration Blog Hop where we are showcasing tools. I have chosen to use the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks to make a pretty embossed and inked Christmas card.

Colours used in these projects are:

To recreate the Adorning Christmas card, you will need:

Highland Heather card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Coastal Cabana card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 6” by 6” which I later cut down to 5½” by 3¾”

I often forget about our masks but when I remember to use them, I love them. They are so versatile -did you know you can dry emboss using masks? This is only one of the cool techniques you can use masks for.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

I chose the snowflake mask for my project today and if we are talking about tools, as well as the Masks I am using our great Blending Brushes

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Firstly, I chose the snowflake mask from the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks set. I knew I wanted to emboss my cardstock using the mask but wasn’t quite sure how to do it. After a bit of trial and error I found that the best combination was:

Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine
Base plate (1)
Clear acrylic plate (3)
Silicon Mat
Basic White card
Mask
Gray 3D Embossing Plate (4)

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

I kept the mask in place on top of the card stock, taped the mask down to some Grid Paper to hold it still and began to add colour using Blending Brushes.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Beginning at the bottom I applied Pool Party ink – I think my Blending Brush wasn’t clean as it looks like Granny Apple Green!

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

Next, I added Coastal Cabana ink, followed by Fresh Freesia ink and finally Highland Heather ink. I removed the mask and cut the panel down to 5½” by 3¾” using my Paper Trimmer.

Using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, I glued the embossed panel to the Coastal Cabana card layer.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

I wrapped a length of Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape and added the whole panel to the Highland Heather card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped on the small piece of Basic White card in Highland Heather ink. I used the Seasonal Labels dies to cut the sentiment out.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

I added the label to the card front, over the ribbon and secured it down with Mini Glue Dots.

To complete the card, I added a bow made from the same ribbon and a trio of Pastel Pearls.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Adorning Snowflake Christmas card made using the Adorning Designs Decorative Masks and Blending Brushes for the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop

I made a second card in the same way but this time when the mask was removed, I added the left-over colour on the Blending Brushes to the background.

Bright Leaves for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Posted on October 9, 2021October 8, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘Mini Catalogue’. My favourite stamp set at the moment is the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves, any one who knows me knows I am a sucker for leaf sets……….don’t know what it is about them, just love leaves.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the bright leaves card, you will need:

Polished Pink card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”

Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Merry Merlot card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

I decided on which size circle die I was going to use for my sentiment and where I was going to position the sentiment on the card – then I drew round the inside of the die lightly with a pencil. This means I know where I need to position my images.

The Gorgeous Leaves stamp set used to make a pretty card for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful bright leaves card made using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Using the large speckled stamp, I stamped around the pencil line in 2^nd generation Blushing Bride. I just wanted a little of this colour in the background.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful bright leaves card made using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I then added the other leaves one colour at a time starting with the largest in Merry Merlot ink. Next came Polished Pink ink then Smoky Slate ink.

The tiny flowers were stamped in Basic Gray or Merry Merlot, I inked up one flower at a time. The stamp panel was then adhered to the Merry Merlot panel with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped around both panels and secured on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glued to the Polished Pink card front with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful bright leaves card made using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

The sentiment, from the Biggest Wish stamp set was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto a circle die cut from the square of Basic White card using my chosen size of circle die. I adhered the stamped sentiment to a slightly larger Merry Merlot scalloped circle with liquid glue then cut the side off using my Paper Trimmer. It was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful bright leaves card made using the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I added a bow with a Mini Glue Dot and a scattering of 2021 – 2023 In Color Jewels. Just to bling it up a little more I added a spritz or Clear Wink of Stella. So pretty.
