Reflection Technique with Mountain Air

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:

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

• 3 unique Honeybee Home card ideas

  January 17, 2022

  ---

  This week I'm featuring cards made by my talented Flowerbug's Team. Today both cards showcase the Honeybee Home bundle seen here.

  This first card was made by Candace.  She is a master at coloring & sponging as you can see. 

  Save

  She stamped & die-cut the floral image multiple times for a pretty bouquet and adhered them to her beautiful sponged background.  The gorgeous sky background is done with Pacific Point ink and a very light hand at sponging. She colored the flowers with watercolor pencils.  

  Save

  You can see this pretty bundle here online. 

  ~~~ 

  Next is a totally different card made by Annette for our Monochromatic swap this month.  

  Save

  She stamped the bee and greeting in Crumb Cake ink onto a Stitched Rectangle die-cut.  Then added a few die-cuts from the Honeybee Blooms dies and layered it on a Crumb Cake layer. Simply beautiful! 

  ~~~

  Mary made this next card with this same bundle along with the Heart & Home designer paper.

  She used 3 layers of this pretty paper as a background for her dies & greeting.  Great idea! 

  Save

  
  

  Her colors are Pale Papaya & Garden Green. The White greeting tag is one of my favorite 'go to' punches called the Tailored Tag punch. 

  Measurements:

  • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Pale Papaya 3 3/4" X 5"
  • DSP layers 1 1/2" X 3 1/2"

• Last of 3 ideas with the Friendly Hello Sale-a-Bration bundle; treat box & video

  January 13, 2022

  ---

  I've been sharing the projects I made on last week's FB Live and this is the last one.  It's a pretty treat box that's actually quite easy to make. 

  Save

  The box above features Pool Party, White & Black colors with a bird & flower accent.  The one below is in Fresh Freesia with Pool Party accents.  

  Save

  Here are both together. I used the same stamps & Designer paper but look how different they are!  Black glittered ribbon vs sheer Pool Party ribbon also makes a difference in the overall look. 

  Save

  Click here to see the Friendly Hello bundle.  It's part of our Sale-a-Bration offering through the end of February, 2022.  It's free with a $100 purchase from my store. I love this time of year when everyone can get something free with their purchase.  Most items are free with a $50 order but there are a few of higher value that are free with a $100 order.  

  Save

  And here is the template & measurements.  Watch the video here or click below to see how to make it from start to finish.

  Here's what the box looks like open.  You can fit quite a few small treats inside.  This would be perfect for a Valentine's treat box too. 

  Save

  Below is the video for three projects using this beautiful FREE bundle.  This box is the last project I share.
