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!

  • Flowers for Every Season


    The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.  

    I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video.  Here's a link to it on Facebook. 

    This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color.  Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion.  Monochrome cards can be so soothing! 

    I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch. 

    Measurements:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
      DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
      CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
      CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
      Greeting banner/punch

  • Blossoms in Bloom cards; it’s pretty even without the die-cuts!


    Today I'm sharing cards made with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set.  It comes with a gorgeous set of dies too but today it's all about the stamps. 

    First is a pretty card made by my friend Ruth Bingle.  I always love her swap cards! 

    She used the triple time stamping technique.  This is where you cut out three layers of descending sizes of card stock and stamp on them all at the same time.  

    Her White layers are from smallest to larges: 2" X 3 1/4", 3" X 4 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4".  The Bumblebee layers are 2 1/4" X 3 1/2", 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" and the card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2".  This is a fun technique to do with many style of stamps to create your own background.  

    Next is a sweet & simple card I made combining Bumblebee with Gorgeous Grape. 

    This stamp set is one of those where you stamp once and get multiple hues of color; all with one inking!  Love this so much! 

    And last is a card where I stamped directly onto the designer paper. 

    This is the In Good Taste designer paper seen here; it's full of amazing photo realistic textures like wood, tile and textiles.  My colors are Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo with a touch of Bumblebee. The dies are from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here; my top pick for the most used/versatile dies so far!

  • Blossoms in Bloom; cut for 2 cards at once!


    The Blossoms in Bloom bundle seen here was a big hit at my New Catalog open house event last week.  Everyone was amazed at the many options you have with the dies and stamps. 

    Look at these pretty cards!  They're made from one set of dies cut in half to create two cards at once. 

    On these cards I die-cut one full set of flowers with both the thin and the thicker die in White.  Then I sponged each of them with the following colors: Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green.  

    When you purchase this bundle you're getting a discount of 10% off. It's always nice to get a break on the price. It's also one of the 34 Bundles you can choose free when you purchase the Stampin' Up! starter kit here. 

    Besides the pretty distinktive flowers look at all of the greetings you get in the stamp set!  And the flower dies are nice and large and fill up a standard card fully. Or use just half like I did! 

    I added some sequins in the flower centers and added a heat embossed greeting from this stamp set to both cards. 

    The white layer is 3 3/4" X 5", the black is 4" X 5 1/4" on the standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" Coastal Cabana card base. 

    I hope you enjoy the idea of getting two cards from one set of die-cuts.  I have more cards to share with you featuring this bundle; it's quite amazing!
