Blessing for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on September 11, 2021September 8, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp. Share blog Hop where we are showcasing a project we have been working on. I am sharing a card made using the Season’s Blessing stamp set and an unusual colour combination.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Blessing card, you will need:

Coastal Cabana card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners
Misty Moonlight card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right and lower left corners x 2 – one for the inside
Basic White card – 4” by 2”
Scrap Basic White card

I began by embossing one of the larger Basic White panels using the gorgeous Timeworn Type Embossing Folder and my Stampin’ Cit & Emboss Machine. This embossed layer was then adhered to the Misty Moonlight panel and then to the Coastal Cabana card base with liquid glue.

Using the Tasteful Labels Dies I die cut a tag and stamped my sentiment on it with Misty Moonlight ink. This label was then added to the card front with Dimensionals.

The double leaf image was stamped twice in Misty Moonlight ink onto scrap Basic White card. The small and medium leaves were stamped in Coastal Cabana ink onto the scrap white card, again two of each leaf. The small flower was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto the scrap. The whole lot were then die cut using the Seasonal Basket Dies.

I tucked the double leaves under the label and adhered them with liquid adhesive. The smaller Coastal Cabana leaves were added to the label with the same liquid glue. The larger leaves were then added on Dimensionals. I added the flowers using a combination of Dimensionals and liquid glue.

Note of Thanks card for the Kylie Bertucci Demo Training Blog Hop

Posted on August 16, 2021July 16, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Here is a little note of thanks made using the pretty Season’s Blessings stamp set for the Kylie Bertucci demo training blog hop. Hello and welcome to my blog and to this months hop. I hope you will hop on to see what inspirations my demo friends have to share with us today.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the note of thanks card, you will need:

Daffodil Delight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower left and upper right corners
Poppy Parade card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left and upper right corners
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded lower left and upper right corners
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left and upper right corners – for the inside
Basic White card – 3½” by 2½”

I chose a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies, placed it in the centre of the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White and drew round the inside lightly with a pencil. This helps with placement of the flowers and leaves.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty floral note of thanks card made using the Season’s Blessings stamp set and Tasteful Labels Dies

I selected three flowers and 2 leaves from the Season’s Blessings stamp set. The largest flower was stamped in Poppy Parade ink, slightly over lapping the drawn shape. I added the next flower in Daffodil Delight and the smallest flower in Highland Heather ink.

The leaves were stamped in Just Jade and Garden Green.

Next, I added the flower centres in either Poppy Parade or Daffodil Delight and used the same flower centre in Highland Heather to add purple dots around the grouping of flowers. The whole panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped White Baker’s Twine twice around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Daffodil Delight card base with glue.

Squeezing Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto my Silicon mat, I used a piece of Sponge to apply the glue to the outline Be Dazzling die cut piece. It was then added to the layer of Basic Black card.

Using Sponge Daubers, I added colour to each flower. I used Old Olive and Just Jade inks for the stems and leaves. The larger flower was coloured using Poppy Parade and Cherry Cobbler and the smaller flower coloured with Bumblebee and Poppy Parade. I dabbed the colour on and carefully and lightly sponged it over the die cut taking care not to bend or tear the fragile die cut pieces.

The flowers were added to the stamped background using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive which I applied using my Silicon Mat and a piece of Sponge.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Garden Wishes stamp set by Stampin’ Up!used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

I decided the image needed something more and added a group of small flowers from the Grace’s Garden stamp set in Old Olive ink and coloured them in using the Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Blends.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Garden Wishes stamp set by Stampin’ Up!used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The stamped layer was added to the Cherry Cobbler layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a strip of Lace Trim to the side of the panel using Tear & Tape before adhering it to the Old Olive card front.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Garden Wishes stamp set by Stampin’ Up!used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

The sentiment from the Garden Wishes stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Very Vanilla, trimmed out with sharp scissors. I mounted it on a scrap of Old Olive. It looked a little plain so I die cut the sweet edge strip from the Be Mine dies from a scrap of Cherry Cobbler card and cut it to fit.
