Team Time Fun

Posted on by

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.

This first card uses the Marvelous Nature stamp set (161252) and our Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 161139). The monochromatic card has been stamped using our

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.

This next is a book fold that has been created with the Zoo Crew Suite Collection (161319 )

The fun fold and little images have been cut from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper (161304). And the sentiments have been stamped using the Zany Zoo stamp set (161305) using Memento Tuxedo Black and a little pop of color has been added with our Classic Matte Dots (158146).

How fun is that?

Little Monkey

Posted on by

Oh what fun is the zoo! And these little monkeys are too cute.

Little Monkey Bundle (161379) is filled with adorable images and fun sayings AND has a coordinating Little Monkey Builder Punch (161378) who wouldn’t love that?

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?

It also has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and a to of “sky” has been added behind using the Blending Brushes (153611) and some Classic Ink.

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?

Fun Folds with Designer Series Paper

Posted on by

It’s Friday and that means it’s time to share another fun tutorial with you. This month our Designer Series Papers are on sale and so I thought I’d share a fun fold with you that shows off our beautiful Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper (161467). After all who isn’t a fan of blue? And this paper with it’s shades of blue is one of my favorites from the Annual Catalog. It’s also on sale during the month of June, woohoo who doesn’t like to save?

I’ve teamed up this paper with the Biggest Wish Stamp set (155052) because I love the bold sentiments. The fact that you can team up the bold sentiments with the secondary sentiment which uses a lovely font is a bonus too.

And with so many shades of blue to choose from in our Classic Inks your options are endless. Today’s project uses our new 2023-2023 In Color Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight, and our returning Balmy Blue Classic Inks.

Here is a quick video tutorial for you so you can make this fun fold too! I’ve got a printable tutorial with the measurements, supply list and more to make crafting easy.

Soft & Lovely Artistically Inked Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card has a soft vintage feel to it and is a quick and easy card that uses three of our new colors. This Color Refresh is the best one I’ve seen yet as I love the color selection and the fact that we have great pairs that you can team up for two step stamping too.

I’ve used the two step Artistically Inked Stamp set (154542) to stamp this card. It’s a Cling stamp set, but it’s a very forgiving stamp set making stamping easy since it’s not designed to line up perfectly.

I’ve got a quick tutorial for you so you can not only see how I created it, but can also make one too! My PDF has the complete supply list and measurements for you.
