Here is a little note of thanks made using the pretty Season’s Blessings stamp set for the Kylie Bertucci demo training blog hop. Hello and welcome to my blog and to this months hop. I hope you will hop on to see what inspirations my demo friends have to share with us today.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the note of thanks card, you will need:

Daffodil Delight card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded lower left and upper right corners
Poppy Parade card – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower left and upper right corners
Basic White card – 5¼” by 3½” – rounded lower left and upper right corners
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left and upper right corners – for the inside
Basic White card – 3½” by 2½”

I chose a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies, placed it in the centre of the 5¼” by 3½” panel of Basic White and drew round the inside lightly with a pencil. This helps with placement of the flowers and leaves.

I selected three flowers and 2 leaves from the Season’s Blessings stamp set. The largest flower was stamped in Poppy Parade ink, slightly over lapping the drawn shape. I added the next flower in Daffodil Delight and the smallest flower in Highland Heather ink.

The leaves were stamped in Just Jade and Garden Green.

Next, I added the flower centres in either Poppy Parade or Daffodil Delight and used the same flower centre in Highland Heather to add purple dots around the grouping of flowers. The whole panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I wrapped White Baker’s Twine twice around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then added to the Daffodil Delight card base with glue.

I inked up the trio of flowers from the Sweet As A Peach stamp set in Pale Papaya ink and added a dab of Polished pink ink to the centre of each flower using a dauber.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

Placing the same plain circle die onto one of the Basic White panels and drew round it lightly with a pencil. This marks out the area to stamp around. I positioned it so that it part of the circle would end up being trimmed off.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

I inked up the outline flower image with Polished pink ink and stamped it twice around the circle. I used the fill in stamp to colour the image but stamped off to give a lighter shade of pink. I repeated this with the Pale Papaya ink and the Fresh Freesia ink.

The buds were stamped in Soft Succulent ink and coloured using the fill in stamp and the 3 colours.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

When the circle was covered, I ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. Looks amazing. The panel was then glued to the Polished Pink panel.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful textured color & contour thank you card featuring the 2013-2023 In Colors

The sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.

The embossed layer was added to the Real Red panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the strip of Heartwarming Hugs added using the same adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Garden Green card front using the same glue.

Using the Poinsettia dies, we cut and embossed the 3 layers of petals from the larger panel of Real Red. We used a sponge Dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink to add depth of colour to the edges of each petal. We used Bone Folders to give the petal shape and adhered the 3 layers together with adhesive.

We stamped the full poinsettia flower in Cherry Cobbler ink onto one of the Whisper White panels. Prior to the class I had stamped the same image onto a Post It Note and cut it out to use as a mask.

With the mask in place we stamped the outline leaves in Garden Green ink and added the infill colour in stamped off Garden Green ink. The berry sprig was stamped in Soft Suede ink and infilled with Bumblebee ink before the mask was removed.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was added in Garden Green ink.

The poinsettia was coloured using Cherry Cobbler and Real Red Blends Markers and the centre was coloured with Mango Melody Blends.

We used a 1” wide strip of Post It Note and placed it about 1¼” down from the top of the Whisper White panel.

Starting with the largest image we stamped above and below the Post It Note. The leaves and sprigs were added filling in the space above and below the Post It, building up the texture as we went. The colours we used were Real Red, Soft Suede, Bumblebee, Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green and Pool Party. The Post It strip was the removed.

The stamped panel was glued to the Soft Suede layer and then to the Thick Whisper White card base.

A snowy mountain scene stamped using the Mountain Air stamp set by Stampin' Up!

Snowy Mountain for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Posted on October 10, 2020October 7, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop. My name is Mo Rootes and I live near Cambridge in the UK and I am thrilled to be joining the super talented team on this blog hop. Our theme today is ‘Showcasing a project we have been working on’. I have chosen to share a piece of home décor with you; a picture of a snowy mountain scene. I hope you like it.

To recreate the Snowy Mountain picture you will need:

Whisper White card – 8” by 6”
Misty Moonlight card – 8* by 6”
Picture frame for a 7” by 5” photograph

If you have been following my blog you will know that the Mountain Air stamp set is a real favourite of mine and today I have combined it with the In The Pines Stamp set and the sweet cabin from the Snow Front stamp set to create this wintery scene.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Mountain Air stamp set used to make pretty picture featuring a snowy mountain scene

I began with the piece of Whisper White card which I lined up on my Grid Paper. With a T Square Ruler and a pencil I marked out ½” on all 4 sides to form a border. This border will be covered by the mount.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Mountain Air stamp set used to make pretty picture featuring a snowy mountain scene

I inked up the detailed mountain image from the Mountain Air stamp set with Seaside Spray ink and stamped the image across the panel. I reversed the stamp, inked up the back with the same colour, stamped off on my Grid Paper and stamped the 2^nd generation, offset, over the mountains.

The row of trees were stamped below the mountains in Shaded Spruce ink. I punched a 1” circle from a Post It note and applied it over the mountains. Using a blending brush – you could also use a sponge or a sponge dauber instead – and circular movements I appled Balmy Blue ink across the top of the panel to give the effect of a sky. The circle mask was then removed.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Mountain Air stamp set used to make pretty picture featuring a snowy mountain scene

I roughly tore a piece to copy paper to give a wavy edge. Using the blending brush and Pool Party ink I moved around the torn copy paper to give the effect of snow banks.

Placing the copy paper back in position I stamped the sweet cabin from the Snow Front stamp set in Basic Gray ink. I added the ‘path’ image in 2^nd generation Basic Gray ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Mountain Air stamp set used to make pretty picture featuring a snowy mountain scene

I added the row of trees from the In the Pines stamp set in the same way using Early Espresso ink. I added the in-fill stamp in Shaded Spruce ink. The large tree on the left was stamped in Early Espresso and Shaded Spruce.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Mountain Air stamp set used to make pretty picture featuring a snowy mountain scene

Using my Paper Trimmer I cut out the middle of the Misty Moonlight panel leaving a 3/4£” border all the way around. This will be the mount for the picture.

I used a simple white photo frame to show off this simple picture.

I am really happy with how it has turned out. Let me know what you think.
