Mountain Air; a gorgeous scene

March 2, 2020

You might know that I love creating scenic cards. Even though my nickname is 'Flowerbug' that's because I am a gardener; not because I love flowers. I do! But when making cards I actually lean towards botanicals or scenes with trees and water. This card is a perfect example of my 'style' using the Mountain Air bundle seen here.

I created it on my Facebook Live two weeks ago. It's super easy to make! Here's a link to it on FB.

The colors here are Seaside Spray, Night of Navy and Whisper White. I did use one of the dies from the Mountain Air bundle; that pretty detailed tree. I also sponged the mountains and trees a bit then stamped the trees again upside down in White Craft ink for 'water'. The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set.

I love this set so much I am featuring it in March. Anyone who purchases the Mountain Air stamp set or bundle from me (past or in March) qualifies to receive the 10 cards project tutorial. And all online orders (of any amount) will also receive it!

Cool technique for a background made with our new shimmer brushes

May 28, 2026

Take your new Shimmer Brushes for a test drive with this darling DIY background idea. Stampin’ Up! posted this card idea; what a super neat plaid background!

Save

Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Draw diagonal lines on Basic White Cardstock using the Barely Blush Shimmer Brush. (Use the Clear Block F as a guide.) Apply light pressure to create fine lines; increase pressure for thicker lines.

Save

Step 2: Rotate your cardstock and (using the Clear Block F) draw additional lines to create a plaid pattern.

Save

Step 3: Decorate your sparkling background with images, sentiments, and embellishments, then adhere the finished piece to the card base.

We now have 5 colors of these Shimmer Brushes in each of our new In Colors. See them all here.

More Team swaps!

May 26, 2026

Here are a few more of the Team swaps featuring brand new catalog products.

Jacki created this striking card with the Scalloped Blooms bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Melon Mambo, Black & White. Those scalloped circle dies are so fun aren’t they? The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Whispers dies seen here.

Next is a striking card made by Joan: She chose to highlight the Scenic Coast DSP.

Save

She also used the Relaxing Waterside bundle seen here. Love that chair! As you might guess, it’s a fun fold ‘bridge card’.

Save

Super cool! To make this card you’ll start with a 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ card base, scored at 4 1/4″. Now use the paper trimmer to cut up to the score line on each side at 1 1/4″.
The DSP is 2 3/4″ X 4″ and on the sides it’s 1″ X 4″. There’s also a lower and an upper strip that is 5 1/4″ X 1″.

Save

Great cards ladies! I’ll share more later this week.

I have 14 available kits to go right now and I’ve marked most of them down to de-stash my stock. I want to clear them out before we move in a month.

Be sure to check them all out here.

Even if they don’t have a ‘Sale’ icon most are still reduced in price. My kits include about $20 in SU product plus the 10-12 pre-cut cards! Most only need greeting images added. You will need adhesives, ink and a paper trimmer to cut the DSP in most cases.

These are a steal of a deal!

They’re so fun to create with and many come with both PDF & video tutorials too. Most will include fun fold layouts and you’ll find new ways to create with my unique layouts.

Shop all tutorials and kits here.
