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

• Team Swap cards featuring sponging techniques!

  April 26, 2021

  ---

  Our latest Flowerbug Team swap featured sponging techniques and they knocked it out of the park!  Look at these: 

  The first card was made by Deloris. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle.  These items are carrying over to the next catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.  You can see it here. 

  Save

  Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight and White. I absolutely LOVE the unique colors she used here and isn't her sponging amazing!?  That stitched rectangle of vellum adds the perfect, soft background for the beautiful flower.  

  Next is a fabulous card made by Candace using A Good Man stamp set.  

  Her colors are Crumb Cake, Night of Navy & Pool Party.  

  Save

  She sponged the edges of her stamped pieces and rubbed the Crumb Cake ink pad directly on the Painted Textures embossing folder before running it through the Cut & Emboss Machine.  *See that folder here. 

  That stitched tag is one of our new dies coming in the 2021 Annual Catalog.  It's called 'Tailor Made Tags'. the greeting is from the Inspired Thoughts stamp set; also new! She colored the image in with Blends markers. 

  Stop in again tomorrow for more cards featuring sponging techniques!

  April 23, 2021

  I have created many versions of this box & cards because I love it so much!  This first one features the True Love designer paper: 

  Save

  It's a perfect gift for anyone as they can mix and match the sentiments in the box to the occasion they need.  They'll remove the dimensional backing and add the tag to the card.

  Save

  You can choose between this kit to go here or the PDF Tutorial here.  The kit includes all pre-cut supplies needed to make this project; Designer Paper patterns may vary.  
  

  There's a second option featuring the Paper Blooms designer paper.  The Tutorial includes directions and photos for both plus extras from the past few years.  Click here to get this kit. 

  Save

  **You'll receive the PDF tutorial immediately upon payment via email.

  The kit includes the following:

  • Box supplies; cut & scored
  • 5-6 pre-cut cards
  • Tags; punched and ready for stamping
  • Designer paper, die-cuts and ribbon to decorate your box (DSP patterns may vary from photo)

  It does not include Dimensionals, stamping, sponges, markers, embellishments or adhesives.  

  I used the Many Mates stamp set but any greeting set will work.  You'll need Night of Navy or Black ink depending on which kit you choose.
