The sentiment was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the panel but I stamped it crooked……..errgh, so annoying.

I adhered the panel to the large layer of Early Espresso card and then to the Real Red card front.

So, I stamped it again on the small panel of Basic White and die cut it using the Perennial Postage Dies. I matted the sentiment onto the small piece of Early Espresso card and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

A card made for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop using the Rustic Crate stamp set and the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

Rustic Crate Fall Fun Fold card – Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Posted on October 16, 2024October 11, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop. I recently watch a Youtube video posted by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner showcasing a pop out window card http://(https://www.youtube.com/live/_uQZ9AN1wTM)which she had designed. I absolutely loved the card and decided to rework it for a standard sized card using A4 cardstock.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the Fall goodies card, you will need:

Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 4”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 5½” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 7⅝” by 5½” – scored at 3¾”
Unbounded Beauty dsp – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 5” by 1“scored at ½”,1” and 1½” at each end

The panel of Perennial Lavender dsp was adhered to the 5⅝” by 4” piece of Basic White card which was then adhered to the Pretty Peacock card front.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I selected 2 Deckled Circle Dies and using the larger die I die cut a circle through all 3 layers. I needed to run it backwards and forwards 2 to cut through all the layers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I glued the piece of Unbounded Beauty dsp to the front of the inner Basic White card and adhered the back of the card to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base taking care to stay away from the central fold.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

The small circle was then used to die cut a circle from the square of Basic White card.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the Autumnal arrangement and the sentiment onto the die cut white circle. I used Washi tape from my stash to mask the words for the sentiment as I wanted then stacked rather than inline.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

The image was coloured using the following Blends Pens – light and dark Pumpkin Pie and light and dark Pretty Peacock for the Pumpkins, light and dark Wild Wheat and light and dark Old Olive for the ears of corn and light and dark Daffodil Delight, light Copper Clay and light and dark Mossy Meadow for the sunflowers.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

I folded and burnished the scorelines on the 5” by 1“– the 2 centre scorelines were folded back, the next 2 folded forwards and the last 2 folded back.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Rustic Crate stamp set used with the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to make a card for the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

The card front was closed, and a little Liquid Adhesive added to the innermost tabs of the folded strip which was then placed in the centre of the die cut hole. I held it in place for a minute or so to make sure it would not move. Adhesive was then added to the raised centre of the strip and the decorated circle added, making sure to leave an equal border all the way around.

I finished the card by adding the trio of Adhesive-backed Dappled Dots. Not sure I have got this card quite right, but I do like it.

I placed the dsp strips down over the pencil drawn leaf shape, moving them around until I got the colour palette I liked. I then glued them into position butted up tightly together. I made sure to cut off the excess as I didn’t want the strips poking out when the top panel was in position.

A Scary Boo card – Stamping Dreams Blog Hop

Posted on October 10, 2024October 2, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Dreams Blog Hop. Our theme this month is ‘Ghosts and Goblins’ which is always a bit of a challenge for me as Halloween is not a big deal in the UK so I don’t have any Halloween stamp set. After a bit of thought I settled on using the Sweetest Star stamp set to make my card.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the scary boo card, you will need:

Peach Pie card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Old Olive card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Basic White card – 4” by 3¼”
Gorgeous Grape card – 3⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 3¾” by 3”
Old Olive card – 3” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black card

The ‘gingerbread’ stamp from the Sweetest Star stamp set was stamped all over the Peach Pie card front with Peach Pie ink. I flagged the end of the strip of Old Olive card and added it to the card front with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Sweetest Star stamp set and the Sweetest Star Punch used to make a scary Halloween card

Using the So Swirly Embossing Folder I embossed the 3¾” by 3” piece of Basic White card. I swiped the Peach Pie ink pad over the debossed side to add colour to the panel before adhering it to the Gorgeous Grape panel and then to the 4” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card. This was then glued to the card front.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Sweetest Star stamp set and the Sweetest Star Punch used to make a scary Halloween card

I stamped the ‘gingerbread’ image with Versamark ink onto the piece of Old Olive card, covered it with White Embossing Powder before setting it with Heat Tool. The image was then punched out using the Sweetest Star Punch. Using a Blending Brush, I added Old Olive ink to the edges of the punched-out image before adding the image to the card front on Dimensionals.

From scrap Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black card, I die the letters BOO. I glued the Gorgeous Grape letters onto the Basic Black letters, slightly off set to give a shadow. The word was then added to the card front.

A beautiful stained-glass heart card made for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop using the Friends For Life Dies and the Something Fancy stamp from Stampin' Up!

Stained-Glass Heart Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on September 3, 2024August 16, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Share It Sunday Blog Hop where we are sharing a project we have been working on recently. I have chosen to share a congratulations card designed, using the Friends For Life Dies and the stained glass window technique, to celebrate the wedding of my daughter and son in laws friends. I was inspired by a card made by Susan Wong for the Crafty Carrot……..

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the stained-glass heart card, you will need:

Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Shy Shamrock card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3 ½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Azure Afternoon card – 2½” by ¼”
Silver Foil – 3¼” by 3”
Scrap Basic White card

I ran the 5¼” by 3½” piece of Basic White card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the So Swirly Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then glued to the Shy Shamrock layer and then to the Azure Afternoon card base.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Using the Friends For Life Dies I die cut a solid heart from scrap Basic White card. The outline heart and the detailed heart were then placed onto the scrap Basic White card and secured together with washi tape from my stash. I then ran them through the Cut & Emboss Machine 4 times, cutting the heart apart from the outline each time. The outlines were set aside as I didn’t need them for this project.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

I squirted some Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive onto the Silicon craft sheet and used a piece of sponge from my stash to add the glue to the back of one of the detailed hearts which was then glued onto the solid white heart. I stacked two more detailed hearts on top.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The following Blends Pens were then used to colour in all the negative spaces – Azure Afternoon, Boho Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight, Shy Shamrock and Shaded Spruce.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Then, I filled each negative space with a puddle of Fine Tip Glue and set it aside to dry for about 30 minutes. When the glue was dry and glossy, I glued the final white detailed heart in place hiding the messy edges created when I was colouring in the heart.

I die cut one last detailed heart from Silver Foil and glued it on top.

www.crafty-rootes.com – The Friends For Life Dies used with the Something Fancy stamp set to make beautiful stained-glass heart card for the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

The sentiment, from the Something Fancy stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Azure Afternoon. I covered it with Black Embossing Powder and heat set it. The ends were angled before the strip was added to the card front. A scattering of Iridescent Pearls completed the card.
