Ginkgo Branch

We all need those type of cards that are a bit more difficult to make, or at least they are for me so when I saw the Ginkgo Branch stamp set (160463) with it’s simplistic image and lovely sentiments I knew it would a nice one to add to my collection.

And today’s card that I’ll be sharing with you use the Ginkgo Branch Bundle (160469).

Not only does the Ginkgo Branch Dies (160468) cut out the images in the set, it also has a lovely line image and label. Check out this first card that uses simple stamping.

This time the image is stamped in Soft Succulent and a bit of color has been added behind the image with our Balmy Blue Classic Ink and Blending Brushes (153611). The sentiment as been heat embossed and cut out with the lovely label die. Can you see the details the die adds? A couple of Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins (160387) and Balmy Blue & White 1/2″ Variegated Ribbon (160448) are added to complete the card.

And this next card uses our Saddle Brown Stazon and Pearlescent Specialty Paper (154291) to create a lovely soft shimmery image.

The Raindrops Embossing Folder (160551) adds a bit of texture to the Calypso Coral and the So Saffron sentiment layer has been once again cut out with the die. The set has a watercolor look built it to the images of this set since it is a DistInkTive stamp which makes the look effortless.

So what do you think? Is this stamp set one that would you help create those cards we all need but struggle with? Why not stop by my Online Store and check it out.

Swapping Fun at the Blue Mountain Stampers Team Meeting

Each month my team gathers and shares what they have been doing over the past month and stamp together. So today I thought I’d share some of the cards that everyone swapped. Shades of green seemed to be a popular color choice and why not? the shades of green are popping up everywhere here in North Georgia as thing bud and leaf out.

the first card I’ll share with you today uses our Online Exclusive products from the Hello Irresistible Suite Collection (161154).

When you open this little window card you’ll see the gorgeous Hello Irresistible 6×6 Designer Series Paper (161139)

Can you believe this card required no stamping except the splatter behind the flowers on the front? Instead the Irresistible Blooms Dies (161149) we used to cut our the images from the Designer Series Paper.

The soft lovely watercolor look with a resist look make this a great choice for spring. And here is a lovely card for Easter using the Rejoice in Him (160711) Stamp set done in Mint Macaron.

The Fern 3D Embossing Folder (158804) and strip of Gold & Rose 6×6 Metallic Specialty Paper (156844) add a bit of texture to the diagonal section of the card. And the Design a Daydream Designer Series Paper (Host 159161) used on both this card and the next is a super option for spring cards like this one made with the Around the Bend Bundle (c 160650/p 162383).

Highland Heather, Pear Pizzazz and the Designer Series Paper were used to die cut the flower images for the card. Did you know that the Around the Bend stamp set can be purchased in either Cling or Photopolymer? How cool is that? You’ll simply want to look for the c or p when you’re looking at the item numbers to choose the one you want!

And next the Dainty Delight Bundle (160675) and Vellum Basics (160839) was used for this next soft and lovely card .

Today’s final card is a lovely technique card using the Cottage Rose (159040) and a simple technique using our White Craft Ink (147277).

Greatest Journey Adventure Card Tutorial

Life is a great adventure – and the Greatest Journey stamp set (highlights some of the things that make it such a great one. While the set includes some wonderful sentiments the die set gives us some wonderful images to go along with them and since it is part of a Suite there is a lot of coordination that makes creating easy too.

Today’s project is a quick and easy one with a simple stamping off technique.

I love way this simple technique creates the look of depth using the pine tree image for the background on this sentiment panel.

Here is a video tutorial for you along with a PDF that you can print off with a complete supply list.

Since it’s filled with wonderful musical sentiment and images it’s great for your music geek or even a teenager. After all who doesn’t love music? And with my daughter being a Band Director I knew this was one I would love creating with. Check out these fun cards using the set.

This first one uses simple stamping

This card uses the same Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392) but has been run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss with a bit of Smoky Slate Ink added to the folder first, making it more like a stamp. That layer is placed behind a piece of our Lovely Layers Vellum (158919) that has been stamped with our StazOn Jet Black Ink Pad (101406) and then colored with our Stampin’ Blends. The Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) used to cut out the image gives it a bit texture and pulls in the Pumpkin Pie from the drum set. Fun right?
