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

  • Mountain Air with Stitched Nested Labels


    This month I'm featuring the Mountain Air bundle; a fantastic set of stamps and dies that make creating scenes so easy. I created 10 beautiful scenic cards to share with anyone who orders this bundle from me this month.  It's also free to anyone who places an online order.  *Details below

    Here's one of my favorites made with the Stitched Nested Label dies and the Stone embossing folder. 

    The Stitched Nested Label dies are in the annual catalog and you can see them here online. 

    You might wonder how I achieved the textured white washed background.  I first textured the Smoky Slate card stock with the Stone 3D embossing folder.  Then I lightly rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly onto the card stock.  Let dry or heat set with an embossing tool.  Such a fabulous look!

    The Stone 3D embossing folder is part of the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  It's free with the Power of Hope stamp set for any $100 order while supplies last.  It's already on the low inventory list! 

     

    Other details:

    • Colors are Smoky Slate, Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Whisper White
    • The trees are stamped in Pretty Peacock; one in full strength ink and the other second generation ink (stamped off once). They're die-cut with the Majestic Mountain dies. 
    • The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set (one you can get FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit! #BestDealEver!)

  • Easy card design; get two cards with one cut with the So Very Vellum Specialty paper


    The 2nd set of Sale-a-Bration products are here!  There are 5 new items you can choose from that you get FREE with a $50 – $100 order from now through March 31st.  Honestly I am guessing the Vellum and Flowering Foils papers might sell out before March is over. 

     

    I made these quick cards with the pretty textured So Very Vellum and the Eyelet Lace embossing folder in the annual catalog. 


    To get two pieces from each quarter sized sheet of vellum see the measurements and tips are below.


    The colors are Pool Party, Soft Sea Foam and Purple Posy which are the colors this specialty vellum comes in.  It has a dotted grid of texture on each sheet!  This specialty vellum is one of the new FREE choices with any $50 order in March. See it here. 

    Tips:

    1. Cut one piece of vellum measuring 4" X 5 1/4".  Make a mark at 1 1/2" from the upper left and 1 1/2" from the lower right and cut each piece in half at a diagonal.  You'll have 2 perfect diagonal pieces for your cards.  
    2. Adhere the vellum to the White 4" X 5 1/4" card base using liquid glue; I prefer Multipurpose adhesive.  I added a thin line under the dots on the vellum and it doesn't show at all!  
    3. The die-cuts are from the Stitched So Sweetly dies; I did add a scalloped 1 1/8" circle punch between the two layers and sponged the White pieces. 
    4. The greetings are from the So Sentimental stamp set; it's a bundle with the dies at a 10% savings.  See it here.
