Today’s card is one I took right from the pages of the Mini Catalog using the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set. I love this kind of project where you can make it simply or you can step it up by using a few extra items that you may have. I’ll be sharing 3 card tutorials with you in this series using the same basic supplies. Today’s card is perfect for the stamper who is just starting to collect supplies or someone who just wants a clean and simple card. Isn’t that the great thing about stamping?
This stamp set is just so cute with it’s 2 step images and it’s great with it’s all occasions sentiments.
Here is a quick video for you and a PDF too that you can print with a complete supply list and step by step instructions.

How about some swaps, team time and a fun treat tutorial? Today I thought I’d share what we’ve been doing as a my group recently. I’ve got a great team and we have a lot of fun together when we gather each month, so I thought I’d share some of the groups swaps first. I’ll start with some of the Sale-a-bration cards.
this first card uses the lovely Feels like Home stamp set (Sale-a-bration 156607) and has been colored with our Watercolor Pencils (141709 & 149014) assortments for a softer look. And this next card was created using the Delicate Dahlia stamp set (Sale-a-bration 156601) and Merry Merlot for a bold look.
If you don’t recognize the polka dots it’s from the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper pack (Sale-a-bration 156630) which as you can see is quite versatile. A bit of fussy cutting and some Wink of Stella finish off this lovely card. And how about this big bold sunflower?
This card uses the Celebrate Sunflowers (152517) and the coordinating Sunflower Dies (152704) and it’s also a fun buckle card, the sentiment tucks into a punched slot behind the sunflower.
Not only do we do team meetings each month, but we also had a team retreat in August, so I thought I’d share a couple of the swaps from that today. This first project uses the Friends are Like Seashells Bundle (159516) and Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309).
And how about some pansy fun using the Pansy Petals Suite (155810)? A simple cutting technique creates this criss-cross pattern for the card front.
We also made a fun little box that was filled with some treats.
I really love this Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807) and the fact you can cut tons of flowers out with the bundle’s dies and isn’t the little box adorable? Want to see more team fun? This month was our bi-annual Peak Princess event. What is that? It’s a special day filled with pampering that my team can earn. This time we made 3 special projects, won prizes and enjoyed a nice Hawaiian inspired luncheon together.
The pulled pork and Mango Salsa we had were a hit so I thought I’d share the recipes with you. The pulled pork is soooo easy with just 3 ingredients and you make in the crock pot too! And you may find the Mango Salsa addictive – eat it with chips, or you can add it on top of fish or shrimp taco too.
Whew – that’s a lot I know but I hope you enjoyed a bit of a peek into what it’s like to be a Blue Mountain Stamper.

It’s FREE simply pay the shipping or pick up. Contact me today at [email protected] for yours today!
Today’s card uses one of the Suites from the Annual Catalog, It immediately drew my attention with it’s wonderful color pallet. After all I live in Georgia, so how could I resist a set great sentiments and images of peaches? We are the peach state after all.
I think you’re going to really like this Suite, so much so I’m going to be doing a class with it in August! I made today’s card for the Maui Incentive Trip card swap that I will be participating in this week. And really love the way it turned out using a simple sponging technique to create a two tone effect on the fruit and branches.
And it’s a fun fold too! So why not check out my video tutorial and see what you think?
Sweet as a Peach Joy Fold Card Video Tutorial
And of course I’ve whipped up a PDF tutorial for you with the complete supply list, measurements, and step by step directions too.
And on a personal note since today is the first day of the Maui Incentive Trip I wanted to share the little package that I received last month with our travel documents.
This little package contained a Maui pin, along with our name tags, luggage tags, travel wallet with paperwork, and masks since Maui has a mask mandate still in place.
I can’t tell you how excited we are to be in Maui, courtesy of Stampin’ Up! And we wouldn’t be going if it weren’t for my amazing team, The Blue Mountain Stampers and my wonderful stampers, and customers. This will truly be a trip of a life time for us. So thank you again and stop back by, as I’ll be sharing some photos will you both here and on my facebook page with you as I’m able.
Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the cute little 3D project I made for the swap with you.

Today’s card is one I created to share during our OnTour event. I wanted to show case the NEW 2021 In Colors that I had just received during PreOrder. Here is what I came up with.
I like the way the card turned out. I used the Basic Borders Die to create a “table cloth” since I thought the Soft Succulent gave off a vintage vibe. I’m really loving the Evening Evergreen since it can be used as a neutral color like I did here.
I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you. This is a two step stamp set and so you’ve got all kinds of options.

Maui here we come!
On a personal note I wanted to let you know that Larry and I are getting ready for the Stampin’ Up! Maui Incentive Trip. Since this is a very special trip and we haven’t had a real vacation in many years, we decided to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Starting this Thursday I plan on having blog posts scheduled for you to enjoy while we are gone, and if everything works correctly you’ll see them like normal. My regular office hours will resume on May 26th. I will check email, but I won’t be able to respond as quickly as I normally would. Stay tuned – I will share on face book group and when here I return.
If you are interested in setting up a Facebook or book party to take advantage of the extra Host Benefits we can get you started tomorrow. Please let me know before the end of the day Wednesday. This way you can have your party ready to go after the first of June if you’d like to gather with friends.
