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!

  • Easy Pizza Box for Note cards!


    Have you ever wanted to gift a bunch of cards but weren't sure how to package them?  I have a solution for note cards.

    Note cards are traditionally smaller than A2 size cards; usually 3 1/2" X 5".  We have a few different note cards in our 2019-20 Annual catalog this year.  White or Scalloped.  You can find them on page 168.  Or click here for the Scalloped.  

    Coordination Product Release – While supplies last!


    I have been playing with the new Pleased as Punch designer paper a lot and the colors fit these cute scalloped note cards.  Look!

    The colors are Old Olive, Balmy Blue, Light Pink and Terracotta Tile.  I used Calypso Coral ink on all of the cards; it is very close to Terracotta Tile. 

    I used just a few pieces of the DSP on each card and added the four punches that coordinate with the Pleased as Punch to embellish. They include the Heart Punch Pack, Blossom (SAB), Tulip and Umbrella. You can see them at the end of this post. 

    This box is so easy to make and it uses just one 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of card stock for the main box.  The items I used are in the links at the end of this post.

    Here are the measurements for the box:

    Calypso Coral card stock: 7‐1/2" x 11"
        • score at: 1", 5", 6", 10" on the long side
        • score at: 1" and 6‐1/2" on the short side

    Watch the video below to see how to assemble the box and make the cards too.  Plus I share a bunch of our NEW Product Coordination items too!

  • Happy Valentine’s Day! A Sweet Treat Pouch; easy gift!


    Here's a super neat way to give a treat to a friend.  My friend Marilyn made these for her club gals this month. Many of my gals like to make something special for their fellow club members when they are hostess. I love seeing their creativity!

    Isn't it cute?  It's made from our clear envelopes!  I think it's super clever.  She found the idea online and changed it up so it opens at the bottom; no need to destroy the pretty topper to get to your treat! 

    The card stock and From My Heart designer paper are 'inside' the envelope.  You can adhere your candies with mini glue dots to stay in place.  

    Watch the Facebook Live video replay below.  I made one adding a nice big cookie.  I placed the cookie in another clear envelope and inserted it into the outer one.  I just checked it and it's still soft a few weeks later! 

    Details:

    • Clear envelopes – get 50 in a package for $6.  See them here
    • Card stock topper is 3 1/2" X 5" scored at 2 1/2". Rounded with the Detailed Trio punch
    • From My Heart DSP topper is 1 1/2" X 4 3/4", bottom two corners are rounded
    • Card stock inside the envelope is 4 1/4" square
    • Designer Series Paper inside the envelope is 4" square
    • Be sure to have the opening at the bottom for easy access to your treat! 
    • Stamps are from Little Ladybug, Heartfelt, Butterfly Gala, Stitched So Sweetly
    • I stamped directly on the punched heart above; it's punched from the From My Heart Specialty Designer paper!
    • Heart Punch Pack 

    Here's the video for this pouch and two adorable Little Ladybug cards.
