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!

  • Get 2 cards at a time with this special card layout & a 6 X 6″ piece of designer paper!


    I shared this card on last week's Live video.  It features the So Very Merry stamp set and the Snowflake Magic designer paper.

    I made a bunch of these cards for our Flowerbug's October Christmas card swap.  You might wonder how I achieved the starburst effect with the Snowflake Magic designer paper.  Keep reading plus watch the video seen here or below!

    Other products used:

    Vellum card stock, Gold Foil paper, Deckled circle dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Blends markers for coloring & Gold heat embossing.

    Here's what the inside looks like. Make note of the little designer paper triangles inside; remember this when you see the cutting templates below.  

     

    My friend Lyssa Zwolenek inspired these cards and created the template too.  She is super creative and so great about sharing ideas!

    Below are a few cutting templates for you.  

     

     

    Watch the video here or below to see how this is done. 

    Directions:

    • You'll start out with a 6" square of designer paper. 
    • First cut is at 2". You're left with a 4" X 6" piece on the right. 
    • Cut the 2" strip into a 2" X 4" piece, leaving you with a 2" square. 
    • Next cut the 4" X 6" piece on the right into three 2" X 4" pieces. 

     

     

     

    See this gorgeous Snowflake Magic specialty paper here.  

     

    • Now you'll cut each 2" X 4" strip into two pieces by cutting it in half on the diagonal.  
    • Be sure you cut each one in the same direction.
    • Cut the 2" square in half on the diagonal and then cut each triangle in half.  These pieces are used on the inside of the card.   

    You'll use 4 of the large pieces and two small triangles on each card.

  • Beautiful cards made with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit!


    I created these pretty cards with the Rustic Christmas Countdown kit.  It's meant to be used as an advent calendar but I thought they'd make great Christmas cards. 

    I will not be surprised if this kit sells out soon.  It's gorgeous!  The envelopes for the advent calendar are approximately 3" X 4"; a good size to add a treat inside. 

    I added Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler card bases, some textured strips of the same colors and a few greetings. 

    The greetings mostly cover up the numbers printed on the wood & gold paper elements in the kit. 

    For greetings I used the Brightest Glow (annual catalog) and Beary Cute (Holiday catalog) along with circle punches and Tailored Tags dies. 

    We made these projects at my October Flowerbug's Team meeting. So pretty but super easy!

     

     

     

    You could make up to 25 cards using this kit just by adding card bases, a few layers and greetings.  The red adhesive-backed sequins, Dimensionals, Cherry Cobbler and craft twine all comes in the kit. 

     

    See this kit here online.  Our Christmas kits can sell out quick; so don't wait too long.  You never know if it will be back in time for Christmas. 

    The kits is gorgeous as an advent project as well!  It also includes the cutest clothespins to close the envelopes. 

    While you're shopping our kits be sure to check out the huge selection of kits in our Kit Collection. These kits are all inclusive and can be the answer to quick, seamless crafting or a fabulous gift for any creative person.  See them all here.

  • Heartfelt Hexagon cards with free printable project sheets


    Today I'm sharing a few more cards made with the Heartfelt Hexagon punch bundle. See the first project here. 

    When creating this next card I chose to use the Delightful Floral designer paper seen here. I had a few large scraps in the package and created this card:

    It's a classic layout that's perfect for using up those random pieces of designer paper you might have.  I like to layer one of the pieces to bring in another color layer; Pretty Peacock here. Then I simply added a layered Hexagon punch combined with the pretty Elegant Edge Tag Topper punch. You can see it here online.  

    My Lemon Lime Twist strip is 1" X 3 1/2" which is perfect for that delicate edge.  

    It's quite easy to layer the Hexagon punch.  Punch a second contrasting piece, cut it in half horizontally and add the stamped punched piece to it leaving a small border at the top & bottom.  You can see how this is done in the video below.

    Next is an easy card layout featuring designer paper scraps.  This time I chose the beautiful All About Autumn specialty designer paper.  This has been so popular they cannot keep it in stock!  It's currently unavailable but should return the week of October 30th.
