Pine Tree Tags for the Christmas Stampathon

Posted on May 27, 2022May 25, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the projects made for the Christmas Stampathon. On the 25^th of each month we are given a theme and are challenge to create a Christmas themed project using the theme and then duplicate it, we need a minimum of 4. This months theme is ‘Tags in traditional Christmas Colours’. I have chosen to make my Pine Tree Tags using the Tailor-Made Tags and the Peaceful Deer stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate a single tag, you will need:

Basic White card – 5” by 4½”
Shaded Spruce card – 5” by 4½”
Gold Foil – 2¼” by ¼”
Design A Daydream dsp – 2¼” by ⅜”
Basic White – ¼” strip

Using the Tailor-Made tags Dies I die cut a tag from the Basic White and Shaded Spruce card.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Pool Party ink to the centre of the Basic White tag.

The largest pine tree from the Peaceful Deer stamp set was stamped in Shaded Spruce ink onto the tag. It was then stamped again, slightly lower down in 2^nd generation Shaded Spruce ink.

I used multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to add the Gold Foil strip to the back of the Design A Daydream strip. This was then added to the bottom of the tag using the same liquid glue.

The decorated Basic White Tag was then glued to the Shaded Spruce tag, slightly off set.

The sentiment from the Christmas To Remember stamp set was stamped onto the strip of Basic White card in Shaded Spruce ink and trimmed down with scissors. I added it to the tag with liquid glue.

A piece of Gold Shimmer Ribbon was pushed through the hole in the tags and tied with a length of White Baker’s Twine. A trio of Brushed Metallic Dots completed the tag.

Tree Baubles for the December 2021 Class

Posted on December 17, 2021December 8, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing two pretty baubles designed for my December classes and made using the Poinsettia and Cabin dies.

Coloured we used are:

Poinsettia Bauble

Wood Slice – I got mine here – https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B082HR4RV3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Real Red card – 8¼” by 3¼
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”
Scrap Gold Foil card
Jute Twine

We die cut and embossed the 3 layers of poinsettia petals from the Real Red card using the Poinsettia dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. They were then spayed, using a Spritzer, with a mixture of Frost White Shimmer Paint and Alcohol. They were then set aside to dry. The Frost White Shimmer Paint is sadly retired but you could use Clear Wink of Stella instead.

When they were dry, we curled the petals using a Bone Folder. The layers were then adhered together, offset, with Mini Glue Dots. We added the centre, die cut from Gold Foil card using the same Poinsettia Dies. It was added with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The completed Poinsettia was then added to the wood slice with a Dimensional.

The holly leaves. 1 large and 2 small, were cut and embossed from the piece of Garden Green card. They were tucked under the poinsettia and glued down with the liquid glue.

We used some rustic jute twine from my stash to make a loop and bow to hang the bauble.

Cabin Bauble

Basic White circle – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Soft Suede – die cut with Framelets Circle Dies – roughly 3⅝” – 3¾” in diameter
Garden Green card – 4½” by 2”

Using a heavy-duty hole punch we punched a hole at the top of the wood circle.

Stampin' Up! products used to make a lovely tree bauble featuring a rustic Christmas cabin in the trees

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

I mounted the Birch background stamp on a Stamparatus plate, I find it easier to handle than the largest block, ink it up with Misty Moonlight ink and stamped it onto the bauble. It was then set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.com – This pretty Christmas rustic cabin in the trees made into a tree bauble and made using Stampin’ Up! products

Placing the Basic White circle on top of the Soft Suede circle I ran them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the detailed cabin die. We lifted the Basic White layer off the Soft Suede layer, leaving all the bits stuck on the Soft Suede piece. Using a Take Your Pick Tool we carefully lifted off the white scrap leaving the Soft Suede piece intact. The 2 pieces were then stuck together with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. We added the cabin to the bauble on Dimensionals.

Using the dark, Soft Suede Blends Marker were coloured in the cabin and added Clear Wink of Stella to the cabin roof and the ground.

The trees were then die cut from the Garden Green layer using trees from the Cain Dies and tucked around the cabin. Using either liquid glue or Dimensionals. We added a loop of twine to the top to hang the bauble.

These baubles were such fun to make, I hope you like them.

Hello and welcome to the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where we are showcasing our favourite bundle.

I inked the detailed trees with Shaded Spruce ink and stamped them below the mountains. I cleaned the stamped and inked it again in Pool Party and stamped it upside down below the trees to give the illusion of water.

I stamped the largest snowflake in Bermuda Bay ink randomly over the same panel. I added the other two snowflakes in Rococo Rose ink. The group of small snowflakes were stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink and the dotty image Was used to fill in the gaps using Rococo Rose ink.

I added the ‘ground’ image in the same ink. Using a wedge of Sponge, I lightly added Misty Moonlight ink over the panel to suggest a misty day.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A Christmas card made using the In The Pines stamp set and featuring a row of misty trees

My Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine was used to die cut 3 of the tall trees. The Soft Sea Foam tree was cut from scrap card. The Shaded Spruce and Silver Foil trees were cut from the middle of the 2 layering pieces – no-one will ever know……

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Christmas pressies card made using the Most Wonderful Time product Medley

Taking the ‘ribbon image’ from the Most Wonderful Time stamp set I stamped them in Real Red ink onto the panel of Whisper White. After trial and error, I found it easier to stamp the ribbons first, followed by the parcels. The parcels were then stamped in Old Olive ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Christmas pressies card made using the Most Wonderful Time product Medley

I die cut the stamped row of presents using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and one of the Tasteful Labels dies. Using the same label die I cut the same shape from the piece of Old Olive card. This was cut through the middle and was glued to the stamped label using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Christmas pressies card made using the Most Wonderful Time product Medley

The ribbon holes at either end were punched using the Detailed Trio Punch and a piece of the All The Trimmings ribbon fed through. I added the stamped panel to the Real Red layer using Dimensionals and wrapped the ribbon around the back of the panel, tying it on the front into a bow.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Christmas pressies card made using the Most Wonderful Time product Medley

The whole panel was then mounted onto the Thick Whisper White card base using the same liquid glue. The sentiment from the In The Pines stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink onto the ⅜” strip and trimmed it out using Scissors. It was added to the card front using the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty Christmas pressies card made using the Most Wonderful Time product Medley

A beautiful wicker 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp 'n Hop Blog Hop using Stampin' Up! products

3D Poinsettia Wreath- Stampin ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Thank you for joining me today for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme is ‘3D’. If you have hopped over from the lovely Jill Chapman, you are very welcome. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes in the UK. Please continue to hop through to see all the inspiration the other participants have to share.

I have chosen to share the wreath I have made for my lovely Mum who suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease and is in a care home. As we are currently in lockdown in an effort to stop the rise of Covid-19, we are unable to visit her. I made her this pretty Poinsettia Wreath for the lovely staff who care for her to hang on her door.

To recreate the 3D Poinsettia Wreath, you will need:

Real Red card stock
Flirty Flamingo card stock
Garden Green stock
Soft Sea Foam card stock
Whisper White card stock
Silver Foil card

Taking the stunning Metallic Mesh Ribbon, I started wrapping it loosely around a pretty wicker wreath bought from a local craft store. I love this ribbon; it is so light and fragile looking but adds such a pop of style.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

Using the gorgeous Poinsettia Dies and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I cut out the layers for 2 Real Red flowers and the layers for a Flirty Flamingo flower.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I used a sponge dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink I added colour to the edges of each flower petal to give the flower more dimension.

I used Real Red ink and a dauber to add depth to the Flirty Flamingo flower.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

The petals were shaped using my Bone Folder to add yet more dimension. The petals of the largest and smallest layers were shaped downwards. The petals of the two middle layers were shaped upwards.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

The layers were layer up using a Dimensional between the bottom (first) and second layer. Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive between the second and third layer and a Mini Dimensional between the third and fourth layers. Each layer was added off centre to the layer before.

Using the Beautiful Boughs Dies I die cut a selection of branches in Garden Green, Soft Sea Foam and Whisper White card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

I began adding branches and leaves behind each of the three flowers, building up the layers and adhering the leaves to the back of the flower with the liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A lovely 3D Poinsettia Wreath made for the Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop

When all three flowers were backed with leaves, I glued them to the wreath using my hot glue gun. I added a bow made using the Metallic Mesh Ribbon using the hot glue.
