A lovely card made for the Stampin' Up! On Tour Event in April 2021 using the Etched In Nature stamp set

On Tour Swap

Posted on April 23, 2021May 4, 2021 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the card I made as my virtual swap for the recent On Tour Demonstrator Training session. As part of the registration the participants were sent a brand-new stamp set called Etched in Nature and we were encouraged to use this set for our virtual swap. Unfortunately, some of the stamp sets turned out to be defective and Stampin’ Up! Being the fabulous company they are replacing all the sets sent out with a set of the demonstrators choice while they work out the problem.

Using my Stamparatus to stamp the image multiple times; I did manage to get an acceptable image.

Colours used in this project are:

Mossy Meadow

Real Red

Basic White

To recreate the Etched In Nature card, you will need:

Mossy Meadow card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Real Red – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5” by 3¼” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Scrap Mossy Meadow & Basic White

www.crafty-rootes.com – Etched In Nature stamp set used for my virtual swap for the Stampin’ Up! On Tour event

With the image mounted on the Stamparatus plate I used Mossy Meadow and Real Red Markers to add ink to the stamp. I stamped it on the smaller Basic White panel but didn’t get a good image. So I inked it up again using the same pens and thus time I spritzed it with water in the hope that this would work to spread the ink………. And it worked.

I set the panel aside to dry before adding it to the panel of Real Red with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. When dry I splattered some Mossy Meadow ink onto the panel using the Mossy Meadow Marker.

I stamped the sentiment in Real Red ink onto scrap Basic White ink and die cut it out using the Layering Circle dies and die cut a slightly larger scalloped circle from scrap Mossy Meadow card. They were glued together with the same liquid glue.

Art Gallery stamp set, Floral Gallery dies and Oh So Ombre dsp used for sneak peek customer thank you cards

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I began by stamping the stem and leaves from the gorgeous new stamp set called Art Gallery stamp set in Granny Apple Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine inside the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder. I love the texture this gives to the layer.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The stamped and embossed panel was added, with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the Oh So Ombre dsp – one of the free choices with a £45 order in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I used a piece of the Ornated Garden Ribbon to wrap around the panel, adhering it on the back with Sellotape. Yes, I know the ribbon is Old Olive but it tones so well with the Granny Apple Green ink that I think I can get away with it.. The whole piece was then added to the Merry Merlot card base using the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

The flower is a 3-step image and I started by stamping the solid image in Flirty Flamingo ink. I added the more detailed image in Merry Merlot ink and finished with the small, centre in Early Espresso ink. Doesn’t it look fabulous….. I cut is out using the co-ordinating Floral Gallery dies and added it to the card front on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -My Customer Thank You cards shown on Kylie Bertucci’s Blog Hop and using sneak peek products

I stamped the sentiment in Granny Apple Green ink, cut it out with one of the sweet labels from the same die set and added it to the card with liquid adhesive. The pearls were coloured with a Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker and added to the card front to complete the card.

I hope you and my customers like the cards.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty bird themed thank you card made using the Birds & Branches stamp set and Birds & More dies

Using the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut a circle from the square of Whisper White and a slightly larger scalloped circle from the Misty Moonlight card. The branch from the Birds & Branches was stamped in Cinnamon Cider ink onto the top of the Whisper White circle and added the leaves in Just Jade ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty bird themed thank you card made using the Birds & Branches stamp set and Birds & More dies

I stamped the birds onto scrap Whisper White, starting with the outer image in Misty Moonlight ink, followed by the inner layer with Blushing Bride ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty bird themed thank you card made using the Birds & Branches stamp set and Birds & More dies

I inked up the nest with Cinnamon Cider ink and added some Early Espresso using an Early Espresso Marker and the ‘thumping technique’. You hold the marker loosely in your hand and tap the side of the maker onto the inked stamp, moving the stamp around to get a random look to the stamping. The image was then stamped onto the scrap Whisper White card.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty bird themed thank you card made using the Birds & Branches stamp set and Birds & More dies

The nest and birds were added to the card front on Dimensionals, slightly off set. The overhanging side of the circle was then trimmed off using Scissors.
