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!

  • Retro Circles layout with a quick video. So unique & versatile!


    I hope you had a nice Christmas weekend!  We sure did.  It's one of my favorite times of the year; one time where all of my kids are home and we're all together. 

    Here's another card we made at my December card clubs.  It was such a hit on Facebook Live Stamp with Me that I had to do it at Club too.  It's a great way to show off your designer paper with this retro style.  Scroll down to see the video. 

    You just need three circles of different sizes.  I used the Stitched Shapes dies so they have the extra detail of stitches on the edges.  I use these dies so much!  If you don't have them I highly recommend them. See them here. 

    I used the Brightly Gleaming specialty DSP here and instead of the copper foiled side I used the other side which has Navy, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo.

    The stamped images are from the Itty Bitty Birthday & Lots to Celebrate stamp sets.  Just one ink color; Night of Navy. 

    Below are the cards we made on one of my Monday night Stamp with Me FB lives.  See that video here.  

    The above cards were made with various designer papers & stamp sets.  The top is Classic Christmas, left is Heartwarming Hugs and right is Snowflake Splendor. 

    Measurements:

    • Main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Neutral (White or Vanilla) is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"
    • Greeting strip is 1/2" X 5" 
    • Circles are the largest three stitched circle dies 1 3/4", 2 3/8" & 2 7/8"

  • Let it Snow?! Are you having a White Christmas?


    Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope you are enjoying your Holiday today and that you are able to spend time with some of your favorite people. This year is so unusual and difficult for many who are isolated.  I wish you the best and thank you for your support this past year.  

    We did just get snow this week; very unusual for us in North Dakota!  So it's a white Christmas after all.  

    Here are two of my favorite wintery cards featuring my Life is Beautiful stamp set.

    The card above is Seaside Spray with Black & White.  The stamp set is Snowman Season in the Annual Catalog. 

    This card is made with the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  Ink colors are black, Balmy Blue & Highland Heather. The DSP is retiring in a week or so and it's on sale here. 

    This card is very similar to the one above only made with Early Espresso & Balmy Blue. 

    Merry Christmas!

  • Need a quick gift box for the Holidays? Use your designer paper!!


    Are you a last minute wrapper?  I can help! I made these fast gift boxes on this week's FB Live.  Honestly they are super easy and you can make them wide or tall depending on where you score. 


    Each one is made from 2 pieces of 12 X 12" designer paper; these are from Toile Tidings which is now discontinued and out of stock.   Double sided paper is preferred and makes them extra special.  I used the same patterns for each box; flipping the pattern so they coordinated. 

    I know some of you might think it's frivolous to use your designer paper for gift boxes.  Now consider how much DSP you have stored up!  Use it; you can do it!


    And here is another version with the new True Love designer paper; all Black & White! It's from the upcoming 2021 Spring Catalog!

    I colored some of the flowers on the paper with both Rococo Rose and Purple Posy Blends markers.  Then I added two ribbons; Black glittered and Purple Posy. 


    You can watch the video here.   Scroll towards the end for the boxes.
