Saying Goodbye to Wisteria Wishes and more

One of the things that I was amazed by when I first moved to Georgia years ago was the Wisteria hanging from the pine trees along the road. That an kudzu seemed to be everywhere as I drove around the area. So when I saw the Wisteria Wishes (159434) stamp set. Done in Pool Party and Highland Heather.

It also pulls in Gorgeous Grape that mats the sentiment and image along with the lovely Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon (155615) and Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (158130). And this next card also uses the Highland Heather to create this lovely card

using the Last Chance List stamp set Uniquely Artistic (158935) and the Pastel Pearls (154571). Next is the Dragonfly Garden (154411) with it’s coordinating Dragonflies Punch (154240)

And my final card I wanted to share with you is the lovely stamp set Honeybee Home (157943) and the coordinating Honeybee Bloom Dies (157952)

The Tailor Made Tags Dies (155563), Scalloped Contour Dies (155560), and Hive 3D Embossing Folder (157955) add interest and texture to this card.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more projects with you using sets from the Last Chance List.

Let’s say good bye to Happiness Bounds & Cup of Tea

The Last Chance list goes Live tomorrow and so I thought today I’d share a couple of my favorite sets that are part of that list.

The Happiness Abounds (159238) stamp set along with products from the Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (158822) and 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper (159246) were used on these first 2 cards.

Thist first card was stamped in So Saffron and Blushing Bride was used to create a soft splatter look in the background. In addition the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds (159185)

And I love the way that this set’s line image was used in this monochromatic Parakeet Party card. The fun little Ombre 2022 In Color Matte Dots (159186) add a bit more interest. If you haven’t seen this Ombre look of this 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper (159246) you won’t be disappointed it is beautiful.

Team up the Happiness Abounds Bundle (158824) with the Cup of Tea Bundle (158667) and you’ve got this sweet little card dine in Blushing Bride and So Saffron two of our retiring colors.

And last but not least this fun little thank you card done in Poppy Parade, So Saffron, and Soft Succulent using the Scalloped Contour Dies (155560).

The Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper (158659) adds a bit more color and interest with it’s fun pattern.

Daffodil Daydream

It’s spring and the sweet little daffodils are shinning their little faces up to the sun, that is when it isn’t raining. Daffodils always make me think of my childhood since my mother always had them on the table for Easter. Always one of the first pops of color in the garden that my mom loved to tend. So today I thought I’d share with you some cards that use the Daffodil Daydream (157786) stamp set and their coordinating Daffodil Dies (157794).

This first card teams up the images that have been colored with our Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends

and highlighted with the beautifully versatile Scalloped Contour Dies (155560) done in our In colors Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. And this next card uses that same Evening Evergreen to create this lovely Easter card.

The 2021-2023 IN Color Designer Series Paper (159254) adds a bit of interest with it’s pattern and some Clear Wink of Stella (141897) adds a bit of shimmer and sun kissed look to the flowers.

And for my final card this final fun fold card

Greatest Journey Masking Technique Card Tutorial

Today’s card is one that I made for my daughters friend who loves to run and it uses a fun masking technique that you create with a Blending Brush. This technique can be a lot of fun and the options are endless depending on the colors you choose.

today’s card uses Pumpkin Pie and Melon Mambo – a color combination that struck me as a good choice for running. (And the fact they had thought of an orange car made me think it would be a hit. lol).

The card uses the Greatest Journey stamp set which is filled with some wonderful sentiments such as this one. Let me show you how I created this fun card in my video tutorial.

By the Bay

As the weather warms up and spring break approaches I always think about the days along the lake front growing up. It really doesn’t matter what time of year, I just love to hear the waves crashing along the shore so when I saw the By the Bay Suite Collection (160450) it called to me.

This Suite is filled with wonderful colors and images and you’re going to love the little Flat Adhesive Backed Pearls (160449) which area simply wonderful for that die that opens and closes.

This first card uses the little shell as the focal point of this card with movement. It’s been cut using the Pearlescent Specialty Paper (154291) and the die both cuts and embosses the shell. Texture has also been added behind the shell with the torn paper edge technique and sand stamped images.

And this next card also uses shell images, this time the focus is on highlighting the gold foil found in the By the Bay 6×6 Designer Series Paper (160434).

Not only one of the shells has been cut using the Gold Foil Sheets (132622) but also the mat for the scene. The Cascading Ruffles 3D Embossing Folder (159169) adds the feel of the water and the Label Me Fancy Punch (151297) add a quick and simple way to add the sentiment.

And this last card uses a fun little stitched edge to the circles found in the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) to cut out and highlight the little sand pipers. The colors on this card give me such a peaceful feel when I look at it. How about you?

The color combination of Crumb Cake, Pool Party, and Balmy Blue are clean and make simple this card makes a soft and sweet Thank You card to send someone.

And just to share – I thought I’d share a picture that I took when I went back for my Class Reunion last September from my walk along Lake Michigan. A little different shore line that I used to hang out at as a teenager since its a bit farther north of Milwaukee, but this park and views were quite lovely all the same.

If you love the shore side too, why not check out this fun Suite of Products in my Online Store and get yours today.

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.

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).
