Each month I gather with my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers and we share what we have been doing over the past weeks. Among other things we also swap cards and stamp together. It’s a lot of fun having a community of crafters that gather like this. Today’s cards are part of the swaps that were shared.
returning color Pretty Peacock and the wings have been partially cut so they have a bit of lift to them. The background has a bit of texture added to it by dry embossing with the Timeworn 3D Embossing Folder. A bit of shimmer was added with the Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (158130). I love the way that these gems pick up the color your using them with.

Last Chance to hold your spot for August’s Card Class
Check out these fun cards using the Bundle. This first card uses the punch for a bold look.
A bit of texture was added to the back ground with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and our quick and easy Stampin’ Blends were used to color the vegetation. Or how about this fun little card to say HI to someone?
Monkeys for us have become a family favorite when visiting the zoo. On a trip to Honolulu’s Zoo last year we ran across a Gibbon monkey, this little guy was very vocal. Check out this quick little video I took. Click HERE or on my photo below.
It was so funny we were mesmerized and spent quite a while watching him sing and sing. This little guy marks his territory by a whooping, piercing “song,” and he went on for a while, you could hear him across the zoo too. LOL. We’ve never seen anything like it. (You can learn more about him HERE on the zoo’s website). By the way this zoo was a wonderful, if you have a few hours why not check it out?
So what do you think? Do you find this set as adorable as I do? Why not check it out in my Online Store?
Crafting, it’s been a big part of my life since childhood. From learning cross stich samplers as a child with my mother, Brownie activities, Summer Camp, and school Home Ec classes in middle school, art classes and now stamping. I’ve always loved to learn and create. How about you?
So when I saw the Crafting with You Bundle (161226) I could see the possibilities of creating projects and cards for my friends who also love being creative. Check out these lovely cards made with the set.
This first card uses color blocking in our new colors, Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist, and Lemon Lolly to create a bright cheerful card using the embroidery hoop. Don’t you love the little metallic shine on the scissors that has been done with our Clear Wink of Stella (141897)? Or how about this second card for us Paper Crafters?
A section of our Grid Paper (130148) has been used as a backdrop for the card. Fun right? Love crafting?
Maybe you might enjoy this bundle too! Why not stop by my Online Store and check it out today? And don’t forget during August you can redeem your Bonus Day Coupons when you place an order with me.
And don’t forget to stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun video tutorial with you!
I’m not sure why but this little bird with the glasses makes me think of school and the little caterpillar book I used to read to my children. Check out this lovely card
My daughter just sent me a photo of her at the zoo, in front of a favorite spot in any zoo or wildlife area – the alligators of course. She grew up with the crockodile hunter, Steve Irwin and has always been fascinated with these reptiles. So today I share with you projects made with the cute little stamp set, Zany Zoo (161305). This stamp set is part of a Suite of Products that allows you easy coordination when making your projects.
This first card uses the little crock to create a fun cheerful card.
This card was inspired by the card you’ll see on page 46 of the Annual Catalog. The color pallet has been changed to a fun bold one and uses our Stampin’ Blends to color the little ballerina.
I think these whimsical little images are so much fun and I love the way the Designer Series Paper makes a great addition with all of the different things we love.
The images will make you smile and a bit of calorie free coolness on a hot day. Check out this cheerful card. The color pallet was determined by the Designer Series Paper for this card.
The Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper (161449) is packed full of bright cheerful colors and patterns! Just choose one to get started. Feel like a bit of “punch art”? Why not use the color wash side for the scoops of ice cream for a bolder look? I love the way we can create projects that feel so different with just a change up of color!
Enjoy! And take a few moments to enjoy the sweetness of life.
Today’s cards both use the Wildlife Wonder stamp set (157923). This set is filled with lovely DistINKtive images that are great for simply stamping along with some great sentiments that you can use all year round.
Sets like this one are also great for the men in our lives. Check out this first card that uses the owl image to create a wonderful birthday card.
Done in the rich colors of Pecan Pie and Lost Lagoon it uses the Countryside Corners Bundle (161472) to create the frame that highlights this image. A bit of detail was added to the owl with our Stampin’ Write Markers for the eyes and feathers.
Owls are pretty cool and I’ve found watching my high school classmates owl cam at her home in Texas a lot of fun these past 2 years. The other night she caught two of them on her bird bath. Technology can be so cool.
And these next two cards use the bear image which can definitely be found in my North Georgia back yard. This first card as been stamped with our NEW color, Pecan Pie
And how about this last card? Done in Basic Gray? While it uses the same image the colors make it feel so different. So what do you think? Need a nature inspired set for the guys in your life? You can find this set and other sets inspired by nature in my Online Store.
