Magnolia Blooms

Posted on December 29, 2019December 26, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Here is sweet congratulations card made using the Magnolia Blooms stamp set which can be found in our Beginner’s Brochure.

To recreate the Magnolia Blooms card you will need:

Seaside Spray card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Soft Sea Foam – 5⅛” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White 5” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner – inside
Soft Sea Foam 4” by ½”

I began by stamping the flower image, twice in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel.

The following Blends Marker pens were used to colour in the flower images – Seaside Spray Combo, Soft Sea Foam combo, So Saffron light.

The stamped layer was glued to the Soft Sea Foam layer with Multipurpose liquid Adhesive and added to the Seaside Spray card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was inked up with Versamark then straight into the Memento Tuxedo Black ink and immediately stamped onto the strip of Soft Sea Foam cardstock – I used the Embossing Buddy on the layer beforehand. The stamped sentiment was then covered with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool. I used the Banner triple Punch to flag both ends and glued the strip to the card front.

I stamped the flower on the inside Whisper White panel anf the envelope and added a trio of Woven Threads Sequins to finish the card.

I love the soft colour palette of this card, hope you like it.

A sweet summery congratulations card made for the CAS Colours and Sketches #308 challenge

Dear Doily for the CAS Colours and Sketches #308 Challenge

Posted on February 13, 2019February 26, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a bright, sunny card made using the Dear Doily stamp set for the CAS Colours and Sketches #308 challenge. I love the simplicity of the sketch and used that as my starting point.

Making the card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock measuring 5⅜” by 3⅝”. I inked up the large doily stamp from the Dear Doily stamp set with Lemon Lime Twist ink and stamped it onto the cardstock panel.

I stamped the smallest doily image in Bermuda Bay ink slightly overlapping the larger doily. I rounded the upper left corner with the Detailed Trio Punch and added the panel to a layer of Bermuda Bay cardstock with an identical rounded corner.

The sentiment from the Perfectly Paired stamp set was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto a ⅜” strip of Whisper White cardstock and cut it to size and flagging the ends with sharp scissors. I added a slightly longer strip of Bermuda Bay cardstock ¼” wide and trimmed it down so that it was slightly longer each side and adhered it to the sentiment with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The whole panel was added with the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to a Lemon Lime Twist card base. The sentiment was then added to the card front on Dimensional Adhesive and a scattering of sequins added to finish the card front.

I stamped the large doily in Bermuda Bay ink onto a Whisper White panel 5⅜” by 3⅝” with a rounded upper left hand corner and glued it to the inside of the card. The same image was stamped onto a Whisper White envelope.

Balloon Celebration stamp set used for the Global Design Project #166 sketch challenge

Balloon Celebration for the GDP #166 Challenge

Posted on November 30, 2018January 10, 2019 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made using the Global Design Project #166 sketch challenge. I love a sketch challenge, it really makes you think about using what you have on your shelf in a different way.

Making the card

I started with a panel of Whisper White cardstock 4” by 2 ¾” and adhered it, offset, to a panel of Highland Heather cut to the same size. These glued panels were then taken to the Big Shot and had a part circle cut out using the Layering Circle dies.

I took a Thick Whisper White card base and adhered a piece of Subtles dsp measuring 5⅝” by 3⅞”. I stamped the balloon string in Momento Tuxedo Black ink and added the die cut panel on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I added a balloon to the negative die cut space using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The balloon was punched using the Balloon Bouquet Punch from Highland Heather cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment from the One Wild Ride stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink onto a strip of Whisper White cardstock 2¾” by ⅜” and added it to a strip of Highland Heather cardstock measuring 2¾” by ½”. I then punched a Coastal Cabana strip using the Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and added it to the sentiment. I love those little scallops peeking out, so pretty.

I covered the balloon with Clear Wink of Stella, added a Whisper White Baker’s Twine bow and some Glitter Enamel Dots to finish the card.

I hope you like it.

Dainty floral cake for a congratulations card

Cake Soiree and bunting

Posted on March 9, 2018March 5, 2018 by Mo Rootes

I have been playing with the Cake Soiree Stamp Set over the last few days. Such pretty, delicate images in this stamp set which at first glance screamed weddings to me but it can be used for so much more.

To make the card

I started with a panel of Very Vanilla cardstock 4 ¾” by 3” and stamped the intricate floral cake image in Momento Tuxedo Black ink at the bottom. I coloured in the flowers using the Light & Dark Daffodil Delight and the Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends. I used the Light & Dark Old Olive Blends to colour in the leaves.

I stamped the ‘bunting’ and the sentiment from the In The Trees stamp set in Momento Tuxedo Black ink in the upper right hand corner of the Very Vanilla panel and coloured the bunting in using the Light & Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends and the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Pens.

I rounded the upper left corner using the WRMK Corner Rounder and added it to a layer of Daffodil Delight cardstock, also with a rounded corner using Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I wanted to soften the card and add some texture so added a piece of Very Vanilla Lace Trim to the right side of the stamped panel and added the finished topper to a Crumb Cake card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the small flowers in Daffodil Delight ink and rolled the edges of one in Calypso Coral ink and the other in Crushed Curry ink before die cut them using the Sweet Cake Builder Dies. I added one to the top of the cake using Tombow Liquid Adhesive and the other on a Stampin’ Dimensional.

I hope you like the card today.
