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

  Here's a closer view one card. I love how the solid images stamp with multiple hues of color without any effort!  It may look like my ink pad wasn't inked enough but this is on purpose. These Distinctive stamps are wonderful and provide a lot of dimension effortlessly!

• Dragonfly Garden Quick Fun-fold Card with video!

  June 15, 2021

  ---

  We made this pretty dragonfly card at last month's Card Clubs.  

  I knew I wanted to use the new In Color shimmer vellum and thought the Dragonflies punch would work perfectly.  It sure did!  I wish you could see the shimmer in person; it's beautiful! 

  Save

  They had a choice of Polished Pink or Fresh Freesia for their card and could punch a variety of colors for their dragonflies.  

  Save

  We used the Dragonfly Garden stamp set which is bundled with the Dragonflies punch in the bundle seen here. See how the wings are curled?  The bone folder works beautifully for this.  *Watch the video below to see how it's done. 

  Tip: I recommend using Stazon Black ink when stamping on the vellum so it dries quickly. Vellum paper doesn't 'absorb' ink easily so it can stay wet a long time. 

  Save

  Below are the measurements for you and Download May Dragonfly Garden fun fold here

  • Black base 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    Fresh Freesia or Polished Pink 3 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    In Good Taste Designer paper 3" X 5 1/4"
    White strip 1" X 3"
    Shimmer Vellum scraps for Dragonfly punches
