I cut two leafy sprigs from the scrap Pretty Peacock card using the Greenery Lane Dies. I added them with a little Liquid Adhesive to the stamped panel, angled to the upper left and lower right corners and with some leaves not adhered down. The panel was then glued to the Pretty Peacock layer and then to the Smoky Slate card front.

Today I am sharing the cards made for my September 2025 classes using the Scenic Adventures stamp set and dies. For my September classes I always try to sneak in a Christmas card design – some of my ladies think this is too early!

Using the same technique and a different Blending Brush we added Smoky Slate ink to the bottom ⅓ of the panel and the mask was removed. I used the ‘water image stamp to add texture to the ground with 2nd generation Smoky Slate ink.

A tool themed, masculine card made using a colour challenge and the Trusty Tools stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up!

Tools Card

I made this card a while ago for a colour challenge Blog Hop and completely forgot to upload the post to my blog……..duh! When I saw the colours of the challenge, my immediate thought was ‘masculine’ and I have made my card using the Trusty Tools stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

To recreate the tools card, you will need:

Mossy Meadow card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Smoky Slate card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 3” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Smoky Slate, Blueberry Bushel, Mossy Meadow & Pumpkin Pie card

I punched a hexagon label from the smallest piece of Basic White card using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch. The punched label was placed onto the 5” by 3¼” piece of Basic White card and lightly drew around it with a pencil. This helps to position the images I planned to stamp next.

The tool images were stamped around the label with Smoky Slate ink. I added colour with the infill stamps using Pumpkin Pie, Blueberry Bushel, Mossy Meadow and Smoky Slate ink.

Using a Light Smoky Slate Blends Pen I added a little colour to the metal part of the tools. The decorated layer was glued to the Smoky slate panel and then I added it to the Mossy Meadow card front on Dimensionals.

A trio of cards for my May 2025 classes using the Sunrise Sailing stamp set, Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies from Stampin' Up!

Sunrise Sailing Classes

Today I am sharing the cards I designed for my May 2025 classes using the Sunrise Sailing stamp set, embossing folder and dies.

Colours used to make these cards are:

 

Arched card

Blueberry Bushel card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White – 5” by 3¾” x 2
Basic White – 2⅛” by ⅜”
Coastal Cabana – 4⅛ by 1⅛” x 2
Scrap Basic White

 

Using the largest arch from the Everyday Arches Dies I cut the Blueberry Bushel card base. The trick is to place the die with the left-hand cutting edge overhanging the fold of the card front. I also die cut 2 smaller arches form the 5” by 3¾” panels of Basic White card saving one for the inside of the card.

Blueberry Bushel ink was lightly added to the remaining white arch using a Blending Brush.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Sunrise Sailing stamp set, Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies used to make a trio of cards for my May 2025 classes

From the 2 strips of Coastal Cabana card we die cut the wavy edges and adhered them to bottom of the inked arch, one above the other to form the sea.

The boat was stamped on scrap Basic White card using Blueberry Bushel ink, the inside colour added to the sails with Poppy Parade ink and the boat body stamped with Coastal Cabana ink. The boat was then die cut using the Sunrise Sailing Dies. We also die cut a couple of clouds from the same scrap card.
