2 more beautiful scenes with the After the Storm stamp set with video

Yesterday I shared the details on two cards featuring the After the Storm stamp set seen here.  Today I'm sharing two more.  

After the Storm set Save

Creating scenes is one of my favorite stamping techniques and this set features distinktive images we've never had before. 

After the storm sun Save

My color scheme here is So Saffron, Balmy Blue, Black & White. I did use our fabulous Blending Brushes to achieve the sky background.  They really do help you get a smooth finish.  Although here I wanted the sky to be slightly imperfect with light and darker areas for a cloudy look. 

After the storm sun Save

Here I created a mask for the sun using a 1 1/2" circle and sponged in So Saffron ink.  Then I stamped the sun's ray's.  To accent them I added the thin lines using 2nd generation Balmy Blue ink.  You can sponge the sky before or after you stamp the sun's rays. Since it's a light color ink it really doesn't matter.  

After the Storm So Saffron both Save

For the card below I used the rock & roll technique for the clouds.  You can see how this is done in the video below.  I used Smoky Slate and Balmy Blue ink on the cloud images.  

After the storm sun Save

Within the clouds I sponged a hint of a 'sun' with a sponge dauber & So Saffron ink and added the sun rays from that.  All images are from this stamp set except for the trees; they are from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set.  The White greeting is 3/4" thick and the left end is punched with the Treasured Tag Pick a Punch. 

Below is the video for both of these cards & two more!

  • Potions & Spells swap cards for Halloween inspiration

    Today I'm sharing two fun cards made by my Flowerbug's team. They both feature the new Potions & Spells bundle seen here in the online store. 

    Robin made this first one; she's a master at sponging.

    August Robin Potions & Spells Save

    Don't you love her sponged background? She placed a post-it circle onto her White CS before sponging, creating the moon, which is a great place to add the sentiment. It shows off the die-cut cauldron wonderfully. 

    Click on the photo below to see it in the store.  Look at the neat die-cuts and images in this bundle:

    Next is a card made by Paula who also used this neat bundle. 

    August Paula Potions & Spells Save

    Her colors include Lemon Lime Twist, Basic Gray, Pumpkin Pie, Black and Gold. 

    Notice the neat texture of the cauldron. She inked the embossing folder before texturing it. 

    Here's a list of the products she used:

    • So Swirly embossing folder
    • Sketched Plaid background stamp seen here 
    • Exposed Brick embossing folder
    • Wink of Stella on the bubbles & oozing slime

    And look how the cauldron opens!! 

    August Paula Potions & Spells Save

    She scored her card stock before die-cutting so it would have an opening.  So cool!! 

    I'll share more Team swaps next week.

  • Who wants a Designer Paper Share from the Holiday Catalog?!

    I'm offering a designer paper share from the upcoming Holiday Catalog again!  These shares are super popular with so many of you; I glad to help you get a sample of these pretty papers. 

    2024 Holiday catalog dsp share. Save

    It includes a 6 X 6" sheet of each 10 packs of new paper – that's 68 sheets including specialty papers.  A double share would include 6" X 12" pieces (except those that come in 6" size) it would be $53 plus $8 shipping.  

    I can take names and add you to the list.  However I cannot accept payment until August 27th due to Stampin' Up!'s rules. 

    The earlier you opt in the better your chance is to get these soon.  They can run out of stock on some and then I have to wait until they're available.  I plan to place my order on September 3rd. 

    Message me here to opt in and how you'd like to pay.  PayPal, Venmo, cash or check.  *I can use a credit card but I'd need all of your information for that – address, phone number, card number, expiration date.

  • A neat way to show off your Designer Paper with this easy layout

    Here's one more special card  made with the Nests of Winter designer series paper.  This paper can be seen in the 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up! 

    I shared this card in a recent video along with two other fun fold cards. Scroll down to see it.

    The colors are Gray Granite & Cajun Craze. I thought the textured CS strip with twine wrapped around it was the perfect addition to this pretty scene.  This folder is called Birch Wood. The greeting is from the Unbounded Love stamp set. 

    I like that you can really show off your Designer Paper as well as add texture with the strip of CS beside it. This would make a great card layout to mass produce! 

    I created a free project sheet you can download or print. Click on this link: Download Nests of Winter Sympathy card
