3 remarkable card ideas with the Mountain Air bundle


Continuing my Masculine swap share this week all of today's cards feature the Mountain Air stamp set seen here & Majestic Mountain dies seen here.  My Flowerbug's Team did an incredible job on their swaps; I hope you've been enjoying the ideas. 

First is a clever card made by Jacki.  She created quite the special camping scene! 

Her colors include Evening Evergreen, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & black with a bit of yellow on the camper.

That adorable camper is from the Tree Lot dies – one of the Sale-a-Bration choices in July & August.  See it here.  It's free with any $100 Stampin' UP! order.  *Remember that our Sale-a-Bration items are while supplies last…..

She masked her mountains and blended on a pretty skyline in blue & purple.  

Did you catch the 'curtain' in the camper?  That's our Black & White gingham ribbon!!  And the hitch is done in Silver foil.

Next is another special card made by Tracey.  I really like how she created a smaller scene than we usually do; almost like a picture in a frame.  Out of the box thinking!  

Her colors are Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Pacific Point & Early Espresso.  Stamping the greeting repeatedly on a strip is another unique way to add a greeting but not a separate greeting image.  

She colored her stamp with markers to get the blue water on the same stamp as the small trees.  She masked the trees and stamped a 2nd time to get more water.  So smart!

Next is my card.  I wanted to do a 'Triptych' card – this is where you have three separate panels creating a scene.  

Details:

  • I stamped the mountain & trees images all on one piece of White CS using the Stamparatus. It measured 4 1/2" X 3 1/4" and after stamping they are cut to 1 1/2" wide.
  • I used Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent & Gray Granite ink.  I stamped the same 'tree' image a second time in Soft Succulent, but I moved the card stock up and over a bit so it wasn't directly above the first set.  
  • I sponged Evening Evergreen on the bottom and Balmy blue on the top, masking the mountains a bit so they stayed white.  
  • The large White layer is 5 1/4" X 4" and is textured with the Timber 3D embossing folder. 

Here's the Mountain Air stamp set; as you can see it is a scene builder set which is a favorite type of set for me. This one is special because it's a reversible set which means one side features a silhouette and the other side is a detailed image. Fun & versatile!  

Cards for men can be hard for some of us to make so I hope you're enjoying the 'manly' cards I'm sharing all this week!

  • Check out the many OnStage gifts, new products & In Colors!!


    I had a fantastic time at OnStage in Houston with some of my Team last weekend. We spent three full days there and enjoyed fabulous displays, presentations and more.   I thought I'd share some of the photos, products and gifts I received.  

    I'll share more in detail on my FB Live later today. See it here on my page or later on YouTube.  I'll also share a bunch of swaps too! 

    This was the ribbon display; it was huge and so pretty!  Do you spy any new colors here??

    They did two walls of designer paper in rainbow colors.  These are not grouped in their paper packs but in color hues.  What do you think of the background color?  

    Now for some upcoming new products….  Remember these were gifts for OnStage attendees and are not available to others yet.  The new Annual catalog goes live on May 1st, 2024. 

    And here are the 5 new BEAUTIFUL In Colors for 2024-2026.  

    They're just fabulous and will be super popular!  From left to right, their names are Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink (yes it's back from years ago), Summer Splash, Petunia Pop and Shy Shamrock.  

    I'll be offering a special in April on the In Color card stock, ink pads, refills, gems and more.  Stay tuned for the details. I usually bundle it all and offer free ribbon or markers with purchase.  

    We have a new color wheel!!

    We had one many years ago and this tool can be super helpful to those who struggle with color combos.  I'll be sharing ways to use this tool in the near future. 

    Below is most of what I received while there.  A few items are from prize patrols and a bonus class and some were in our beautiful new backpack when we checked in.  *do you spy anything that doesn't belong here? 

    The big peach case is a super neat craft box! I'll share more details on most of these items in my video today.  

    This was a bundle I chose for my bonus class Thursday night.  We received a bunch of products to create with including the new In Colors shown above.  I love both the stamps & dies here!  

    This was my Prize Patrol surprise – a set of 6" Lily Pond Lane designer.  It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite with a stamp set & dies bundle & pretty gems. 

    Here's a photo of the new & beautiful Annual Catalog cover:

  • Simply Zinnias dies are the focus of this easy fun fold


    I shared this striking card on last week's Live video. I focused on the Flowering Zinnias suite.  

    My colors include Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, Black, Flirty Flamingo & White.  

    I textured the Melon Mambo layer with the new Zinnia 3D embossing folder and created the two flowers & leaves from the Simply Zinnias dies.  See all of the Zinnia products here. 

    The greeting is from the new Comforting Thoughts stamp set seen here.  I LOVE this set!  It includes so many greetings I'd actually use!

  • LOTS of beautiful Flowering Zinnias card swaps by my Team!


    I'm continuing to share our March card swaps made by my Flowerbug's.  Our theme was Online Exclusives and many of us chose the Flowering Zinnias and the Simply Zinnia bundle for our cards. 

    *Currently the Flowering Zinnias Suite and bundle are unavailable.  The Simply Zinnias stamp set is out of stock and expected back in around March 25th.  The Shiny Sequins are also out of stock but expected back in April. 

    ~~~

    First is a pretty card made by Karen G.  

    She showed off the beautiful Flowering Zinnias designer paper AND the Berry Burst & Old Olive glimmer paper seen here.  It also includes a sheet of White in the pack.  This designer paper pack includes two sheets of paper perfect for an easy card front. 

    The greeting is from the Simply Zinnia stamp set. Her colors include Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and White.

    Next is a fun fold card made by Karen A. 

    She tore the Flowering Zinnias designer paper into strips and added to her card front.  What a great layering technique! She used Black, Petal Pink and Lemon Lime Twist here.  It's actually a special fun fold that twists!

    This is one of those cards you have to see in person or on a video; it's very cool! 

    Measurements:

    • Black card base 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2".  Then make a mark on one side at 4 1/4" and score diagonally to that line.  You'll fold the card on that diagonal back to the top and add the Green layer to it. 
    • Lemon Lime Twist 4" square
    • Petal Pink 3 3/4" & 1" X 4"
    • DSP strips measure 3 1/2" across.  The vertical strip on the side is 3/4" X 3 3/4"

    Next is a neat card made by Rita. 

    She used the Flowering Zinnias designer paper and a window sheet layer to create a peek-a-boo card. The sentiment is from Forever Fern (now retired) stamped on a Hexagon punched piece. The flowers are fussy cut from the designer paper. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" score at 5 1/2"
    • DSP – 4 pieces at 4 1/4" X 2"

    I love seeing what my gals make! Many times I'm reminded of neat card folds, layouts or techniques. 

    Next is a pretty card made by Ginny who focused on the Simply Zinnias stamp set. 

    She used Blends markers to color the pretty zinnia image.  Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie are her cardstock & Blends colors.  She popped up the top two layers on Dimensionals; what a difference this makes! 

    I'll share more team swaps next week!
