Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Stamp Set – Stampin with Shirley G

Stampin’ Up! A Good Man

Wherever you live, I hope your Saturday was one of sunshine and fun, not gray skies and rain, rain, rain. I feel for the people who have to work outside even if it is raining. We need to thank them for their work.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! A Good Man Stamp Set along with the Mountain Air Stamp Set. One of the sentiments is from the Stampin’ Up! Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set. The others are from the A Good Man Stamp Set.

The challenge over at the Creative Creases Challenge is fun fold cards. They are always fun to create.

The challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters has a theme for their current challenge of Water – Water – Water. Since my card has water in it, I thought I should enter.

This is a screen fold card, so start with a panel of Seaside Spray card stock cut 5-1/2″ x 11″. Score the panel at 2-3/4″ 5-1/2″ and 8-1/4″ Fold the card and burnish really well. This is the way it should look once folded. Using a label punch of your choice, punch the card at the bottom to create feet so the card will stand. Punch the first two at the same time, then use the punched panel as a guide for punch the other two panels.

Cut four Night of Navy card stock mats 2-1/2″ x 4-7/8″. Stamp your artwork from Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Stamp Set using Smoky Slate for the mountains. Stamp the mountains using full-strength ink, then will be like stamping off once time. Move your stamp up a little and stamp again. This will give you a faint shadow behind the mountains. Continue across the 5-3/8 x 11″ panel until you have mountains across the entire panel. Next stamp the trees using Garden Green ink. I masked the bottom of this stamp so it would not show up on the panel. You can use a piece of Washy Tape for this masking. Next stamp the waves image from the High Tide Stamp Set in Seaside Spray on the two middle panels. Using a Blending Brush and Seaside Spray ink color the sky and the bottom portion over the waves. Also two panels are colored with no waves. Use Crumb Cake ink to create the sand.

Stamp in Tuxedo Memento Black ink the man in the chair image that comes with the A Good Man Stamp Set. Let the image dry well, after drying, color using Stampin’ Blends Markers in Highland Heather, Crumb Cake, and Seaside Spray ink. Fussy cut the man and pop on the front panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.

You can see that this card will fit a regular size envelope. As the card when folded is narrow, you may want to add a panel of card stock to the envelope to even the card out.

If you would like to create this card all the products used and the card cuts are at the end of this post.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will join me on my stamping journey as I share my cards with you each day. My hope and wish are that you will be inspired to create amazing creations yourself. Any questions you may have, you know you can always contact me. Have a blessed day!

Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air

Happy Friday, may your weekend be all that you wish it to be.

The card I am sharing today is created using the Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Stamp Set along with a little help from the Beauty of Friendship and Elegantly Said Stamp Set.

My inspiration comes from the Card Concept. The picture of the lake and trees is what I found inspiring. I used embossing, stamping, coloring, and die cuts to create my card.

I am choosing the first vertical– friendship, any color, sentiment — for the Tic, Tac, Toe Challenge.

I started with a Garden Green card stock base with a panel of the same embossed using the Evergreen Forest Embossing Folder. A plain panel of the Garden Green has a panel of Basic White adhered to it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I just realized the Basic White and Garden Green panels are reversed.

On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the mountains from the Mountain Air Stamp Set in Smoky Slate. I then stamped the trees in Garden Green ink. I used the waves stamp from High Tide Stamp Set (retiring) to stamp the waves in Misty Moonlight ink.

Using a Blending Brush and Misty Moonlight and Seaside Spray ink I brushed ink over the waves and left a small spot on the right side with no waves. A little spot of Crumb Cake ink is brushed on the left side. Using dies from the Majestic Mountain Dies I cropped two trees from Garden Green card stock. A greeting from the Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set is stamped in Misty Moonlight ink on the lower corner of the card front.

A sentiment from the Elegantly Said Stamp Set is stamped in Garden Green ink on a panel of Basic White. Two Garden Green trees are stamped in the lower corner.

Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air

September 30, 2020 admin

Happy chilly Wednesday! It is starting out to be a really chilly day, think of me as all my fall and winter clothes are in storage — but I did keep a sweater out for restaurants and the like, so I am thankful for that. Hope your day goes well and you accomplish all your heart desires.

My card featured today is created using Stampin’ Up! Mountain Air Stamp Set and the Majestic Mountain Dies. This is a card I made for my grandson’s birthday. It has been birthday week around here — three in a week. This card is a CAS(E) of Tami Hewlett’s card. You can see her card here. I loved her sky on this card and it inspired me to want to make it.

The card base is Stampin’ Up! Whisper White card stock. The wood grain looking mat I created by stamping a panel of Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake card stock with the wood grain stamp using Stampin’ Up! Crumb Cake and Soft Suede inks. I believe the stamp is retired but as I did not have the DSP that has the wood grain in it I had to make my own. I wanted it embossed with the Stampin’ Up! Pinewood Plank Embossing Folder, but as it is in storage, I had to make do with the Stampin’ Up! Take Your Pick tool, using the large stylus and the paper trimmer. I was careful not to press too hard with the stylus and make a hole in the card stock. I thought it turned out rather nice.

To create the sky and mountains I started with a panel of Stampin’ Up! Thick Whisper White card stock and I followed Tami Hewett’s instruction and you can also here. I had several tries before I was satisfied with the way the sky looked.

Tami’s instructions are great for creating the trees and watercoloring. There is always a remedy for a goof-up and that is why there are two rows of trees, where Tami has only one. I used up some of my stash of Whisper White scraps in creating the trees and the mountains.

My little Meerkat is stamped in the right corner using the retired Stampin; Up! The Gang’s All Meer Stamp Set. I could find no other litte creature that would fit that corner and as much as I try to not use retired products, I just had to in order to get the effect I was looking to create. I cute a tiny triangle from a scrap of DSP for his mask. I used my computer to create the greeting. I know I have a stamp somewhere with that greeting but impossible to find at the moment.

The sentiments from Stampin’ Up!’s Itty Bitty Birthday Stamp Set and Sending Sunshine Stamp Set is stamped in Tuxedo Memento Black ink on a panel of Whisper White card stock. A tree like the ones on the card front is placed in the lower right corner.

My challenges are with

This is a new one for me and so happy I found it–Crafting Happiness Challenges — Anything Goes

This is another great challenge I have missed not blogging for the past few months — Make My Monday –Use Up Your Scraps. The title makes me think of Clint Eastwood and his “Make My Day”.
