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

• Happy Thanksgiving!

  November 26, 2020

  ---

  I hope you can enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving today!  I know many of us cannot be with the family or friends like we're used to.  It's so difficult with this pandemic; tough times and even tougher decisions! 

  I received this cute card from my friend Pat this week.  I wanted to share it with you with my seasonal wishes for you and your family.

  She used my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful seen here.  You might think this is for Halloween; but she has a two black cats and I have one so this fit us both! 

  If you aren't on Facebook you might not know about my stamp set challenge.  I found out how many of these stamp sets have been sold so far worldwide and had my FB Live followers guess.  What's your guess??   

  Save

  As of two weeks ago Stampin' Up! has sold over 16,000 sets!  That's 176% over their predicted amount!  Whoop!  I'm thrilled with how you all like it!

  I bet this year many of us will be giving gift cards more than ever.  This social distancing is hard but during the Holiday's it's going to be so tough!  If you are missing celebrating with your family this year I feel for you.  Holidays are meant to be enjoyed together. But if it keeps us and them safe I'm sure it's the right decision. But we don't have to like it, right?! 

  Here's a fun gift card holder you can make to give those gift cards in. 

  Save

  I made one during last week's Facebook Live but you can see the video below, or here on my YouTube Channel.
