Reflection Technique with Mountain Air

March 25, 2020

I honestly didn't know I'd enjoy creating with the Mountain Air bundle as much as I do. I didn't think it would be so easy to work with!

Even this reflection technique is simple to create. Do you know why? Because of the reversible nature of these stamps. The mountain image is textured on one side, creating the pretty mountain peaks on this card. The mountain shadow/reflection on the water is made with the same stamp but using the solid side.

This card is part of my free written projects tutorial for anyone who placed an online order from me in March. And it's also free to anyone who orders the Mountain Air bundle too! You can see this bundle here.

If you order it in March you can get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Below I show each stamp in three ways. First is the detailed side of the stamp, next is the flat side and lastly you see them together. Reversible stamps are so neat and Stampin' Up! is super clever to create them!

Details for the card above:

I stamped the mountains first, then the trees underneath.
I turned the trees stamp upside down and without reinking, stamped them again for a reflection.
Next the mountain reflection.
Lastly I sponged a bit of light blue on the sky and darker blue for water.
The greetings are from the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set.
Colors are Mossy Meadow, Pacific Point and Smoky Slate

Perched in a Tree Ink Blending sunset technique

August 25, 2022

I can't get enough of the Perched in a Tree bundle! We made these cards at my August Card Clubs this month:

Save

They had the choice of adding the bird or a set of die-cut, colored leaves. We added color to both with our Blending Brushes using Crumb Cake & Balmy Blue for the bird and Bermuda Bay & Mango Melody on the leaves.

The greetings are from the Soft Seedlings stamp set stamped on a 1" X 4 1/4" Vanilla CS strip.

Save

If you have trouble getting a smooth Ink Blending background please watch the video to catch my tips.

From the top down I used these colors: Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody & either Balmy Blue or Crumb Cake on the bottom. You might think I used a yellow color on the upper right card but it's just very light Mango Melody.

The Aspen dies are available in three ways – in the Bundle at a 10% discount, separately from the Perched in a Tree stamp set or free during August & our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

*Best buy: purchase the Perched in a Tree bundle in August and choose a $50 Sale-a-Bration choice for free! See them all here.

Bewitching Bundle for my Artist of the Month series

August 23, 2022

I'm excited to share these incredible projects made by Annette. She is our Artist of the Month as part of my Flowerbug's Team. Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle. For creating the projects they get to keep their new bundle as a gift.

She chose to use the Bewitching Bundle from the 2022 Holiday Catalog. See it here.

First up today is an eye catching card featuring the Gingham Cottage designer paper.

Save

She used Pumpkin Pie blends markers to color her hat and added a stamped spider and Black hat band. The stitched circle die-cuts are from the Stylish Shapes dies. Offsetting them adds a playful look to the card.

Next is a super cute coordinating candy treat box:

Save

She found the box pattern from Cathryn Themann. It's about 5" X 3" in size and fits a row of Tootsie Rolls nicely.

Save

She used the same Cottage Gingham designer paper as she did on the card above. Notice that cute Black & Pumpkin gingham ribbon? She colored it with a Pumpkin Pie blends marker! Perfect!

The circle and banner die-cuts are from the Stylish Frames dies seen here. They're my 'go to' set of dies lately!

Save

She added the perfect finish to her hat band; the Black & Pumpkin glitter washi tape.

Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle tomorrow!

Last of the Holiday & Sale-a-Bration Team Swaps!

August 22, 2022
And here are the last of the Team swaps made by my Flowerbug members. Our theme was to use Holiday or Sale-a-Bration catalog items. They knocked it out of the park as usual!!

First up is a stunning card made by Marla. She featured the Peace To You stamp set seen here.

Save

She used TWO of the new specialty designer papers here – the Snowflakes 12" Vellum as an overlay on the stamped image. Then the long dotted strip is from the Metallic & Shimmer 6" paper. These are both in the 2022 Holiday catalog.

She added a wrap of Silver Metallic Mesh ribbon around the left edge, which helps hide any adhesive when adding the vellum.

Next is a cute card using the Yeti to Party stamp set made by Monica. I LOVE her bright, happy colors for this holiday card.

Save

The color combo is Coastal Cabana, White & Calypso Coral. The designer paper background is the Sale-a-Bration 'Rings of Love'. She stamped snowflakes on it to make it more 'holiday' themed. She tore a strip of Happy Forest Friends DSP below it.

~~~

Lastly is a neat card made by Miles using the Tree Lot dies. Unfortunately these dies are out of stock now and not available. They were free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion but they ran out and will not be bringing them back. A sad reminder that Sale-a-Bration items are 'While Supplies Last'.

Save

There are so many neat details about this card:
- He die-cut a window in the Sahara Sand front panel with the Stylish Shapes dies
- The greeting is from the Bottled Happiness stamp set in the Annual Catalog
- He added a strip of Natural 1/2" woven ribbon
- The background is textured with the Timber 3D embossing folder
Here is a photo of all of our amazing August Flowerbug Team swaps!

If you'd like to join a wonderful team of stampers we'd love to have you! Our group is amazing, fun & supportive of everyone.
