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.

Love quick and easy treats? If so our Ombre Gift Bags might be just the think you are looking for since they make creating a treat quick and easy. I was inspired to create my own little gift bag by a swap that I received (you can see it HERE).
Make them up ahead and simply slide your goodie inside when you’re ready.
Bags are 4 3/4″ x 7″ so they’ll hold quite a bit too. This batch I whipped up for a little Team gift for our Meeting, I filled them with a sweet little treat for my along with a little something I picked up on the Maui Incentive Trip in May.
They were a hit for sure.
Want to see how I made them? I’ve got a quick little video tutorial and PDF for 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.

Love quick and easy treats? I know I do – I love cute packaging that brings a smile to that special someone’s face. And the Flowers for Every Season 6×6 Designer Series Paper makes these treats quick and easy!
I whipped these up last week for my team’s Peak Princes event on Sunday. This event celebrates my teams accomplishments over the last 6 months, so this sentiment seemed perfect for it. I not only tucked in some chocolate, because who doesn’t love that? I also included their lanyard charm that I created with one of our embellishments too.
Check out just how quick and easy it is to make with just some score lines in my video tutorial so you can whip some up too!
Today’s card is the final card to my 3 part Mix It Up series of tutorials. I hope you have enjoyed this concept that was introduced to us last fall at OnStage@Home. It’s a great way of creating quick and simple cards quickly since you only have to cut once and can create 3 different layouts.
Using the same supplies as the first two cards in this series makes this a great way to start building your stamping supplies too if you are new to stamping. Punches make everyone successful and they are quick and easy to use!
Here are my video tutorials and PDF for this card.
