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!

  • Christmas Season is for Fall too! Watch the short video tutorial!


    Here's one of the cards we made at my September card clubs.  It features the Christmas Season bundle.  But as you can see, it's not just for Christmas! 

    I love using non-traditional colors for Fall.  I used Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay, Vanilla and Crushed Curry. We stamped the images and then added texture with the Timber or Timeworn Type 3D embossing folders.   

    Here's the Christmas Season bundle. Look at all you get!  Remember this bundle is FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit through September, 2021.  It's such a great deal; if you love Stampin' Up! products I honestly believe it's the best thing you can do for yourself.  Click here to get started saving money and enjoying being a part of the Stampin' Up! family. 


    Or purchase this bundle and get a free Sale-a-Bration choice through September.

    The greetings are from the Biggest Wish set.  It's one of my very favorite sets!  It's so fun to layer the greetings!

     

    You might notice the pretty Dazzling leaf die-cuts here.  That is from the Sunflower dies and the Be Dazzling specialty paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Sadly it is out of stock now. 

    Click on the photo below to watch the short video tutorial on this card technique.  Or click here.

    Think of the many stamps you own that you could create a pretty background with.  Simply add a greeting tag over it.

  • Nuts About Squirrels Z-Fold card!


    The Nuts About You stamp set is just plain cute!  It's a 2-step set as you can see.  The squirrels, leaves and even acorn have two images each so there's no need to color!  

    I created this card for our Flowerbug's Team swap in September.  Our theme was Fall or Halloween.  

    Card stock & ink colors are Cinnamon Cider, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Pumpkin Pie, Pear Pizzazz

    See that little surprise pop-up circle inside?  That's attached with a thin strip of window sheet and adhered to the inside of the Early Espresso strip. 

    Measurements:

    • Cinnamon Cider 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" & scrap for die-cut greeting
    • Early Espresso 1 1/2" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" & 3 1/2" X 4 7/8"

  • Fun Treat box made from our Acetate Card Boxes


    Did you know we carry the perfect size clear box for gifting a set of A2 cards?  You can see them here or on page 137 of the annual catalog. They fit about 4 cards inside depending on how many layers there are. 

    Well Marilyn cut one box in half and created this adorable treat box for her Card Club friends!  

    It features the Cute Halloween designer paper and Frightfully Cute stamp set. 

    There's a template for the card stock below.  She used the Basic Border dies (seen here) to cut the bottom edge but you wouldn't have to.  If you don't use the Basic Borders Dies on the edge, you could cut the 5-1/2" down to 5".

    She filled it with lots of treats & embellishments.  It also fits an entire full size Kit Kat bar! 

    She uses a mini velcro dot for closure.  The card stock is actually inserted inside the box and mini glue dots are used to keep it in place.  

    And here's the template for the card stock insert.
