Using the Sweet Heart dies, I die cut the adorable little envelope from a scrap of the dsp and adhered the sides and bottom together with a Mini Glue Dot. I also die cut a circle, using the Layering Circle dies from the square of Basic White and added the envelope with liquid glue.

The sentiment was stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink onto scrap Basic White card and trimmed down with Scissors to fit in the envelope. I used the Detailed Trio Corner Punch to round the top edges of the sentiment.

A heart from the Sweet Conversations stamp set was stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink and fussy cut out using Scissors. It was tucked under the small envelope and held in place with a dab of glue. The circle was then added to the card front, over the ribbon, on Dimensionals.

Supplies used:

The Flowering Rain Boots stamp set by Stampin' Up! used to make a card for the Crafty Challenge Sketch Blog Hop

Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on December 29, 2021January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2^nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink. I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The sentiment came from the Kite Delight stamp set ad was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the strip of Basic White card and trimmed down with scissors before being added to the card using liquid glue.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

To complete the card, I coloured 3 of the Classic Matte Dots using the dark Mossy Meadow Blends Marker and added then to the card front as per the sketch.

I hope you like the card.

Posted on November 29, 2021November 21, 2021 by Mo Rootes

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.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the Christmas Season card, you will need:

I stamped the larger leaf sprig in Soft Succulent ink onto scrap Basic White card. The holly leaves were stamped on the same scrap card in Garden Green ink.

The sentiment, from the Christmas to Remember stamp set was stamped in Soft Succulent ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White and die cut using the Seasonal Labels Dies. The label was added to one of the Basic White panels on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.com – A gorgeous Christmas card made using the Christmas Season stamp set for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop

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.

The entire panel was glued to the Garden Green layer and then to the Soft Succulent card front.

To recreate this project, you will need:

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

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”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside
Basic White card – 3” by 2”

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

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

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.

This panel was added to a Gorgeous Grape panel and then to a Thick Basic White card base.

Isn’t this a cool effect? Let me know which version you prefer.
