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.  


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

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. 

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.  

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.  

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!

  • Fantastic fun fold cards made with the Round We Go bundle!


    Today I'm sharing the second half of our Team's Artist of the Month projects. Paula did an amazing job showcasing the Round We Go bundle seen here.  

    Most of her cards featured today are fun folds. This first card is among my favorites because of the colors; I love the freshness of the blues and yellows together. 

    She used Blueberry Bushel, Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly & Daffodil Delight as well as the Country Lace designer paper seen here.  I love how she die-cut the extra detailed circle around the greeting. 

    This card is a gift card too; here's the inside view: 

     

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4"
    • White card fold 4" X 8" scored at 4"
    • DSP 3 3/4" square and two 1" X 4" strips

    Next is a deceiving card front that opens up to something quite unique. 

    I love how she made the rosette look like a round bow on a gift. Her colors include Berry Burst, Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Petunia Pop. Here's the inside view of this card:

    The pop up flap is an extra piece added under the lower White piece. It's 5" square; scored at 3/4", 1 1/2" and 2 5/8". then cut at an angle to the last score line. Each White layer is 5" X 4". 

    See this unique bundle here.  It's discounted through Sunday. 

    This last card is also somewhat deceptive.  It makes the most of the pretty Full of Life designer paper on the front as well as a stamped rosette with Pretty in Pink ribbon. 

    It opens up to reveal a simple opening.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 9 1/4" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"
    • DSP 3 1/2" X 4" and 1 1/2" X 4"
    • White inside 3 1/2" X 4" 

    Aren't her projects wonderful?  She really showcased this neat bundle beautifully.

  • Fabulous projects with the Round We Go Bundle and it’s on sale through Sunday!


    Today I'm sharing the first set of projects by our Artist of the Month for June.  Paula chose the Round We Go bundle to create with and she did an incredible job!

    This bundle is on sale through June – an extra 20% off.  It was $45 and is now just $40 for all of the above. See it here.

    This first card features multiple dies and a stamped background too.  The designer papers used for the rosettes include  Full of Life and the In Color 6" X 6" prints.

    Her colors include Boho Blue & Peach Pie with White. 

    Next is a fun patriotic card she made for her nephew who is in the military. It sure reminds me of decorative bunting! 

    Her colors are Red, White & Navy with Crumb Cake.  She stamped the circles with one of the stamps in the set.  Love her creativity! 

    Next up is a fun card with two 'lollipops' made with the dies in the bundle.  

    Her colors include Shy Shamrock, Vanilla and Crumb Cake.  She layered at least 3-4 of the Crumb Cake 'feel better soon' dies together for a fantastic raised look. 

    Next is this amazing box. I haven't seen anyone do a half rosette to decorate a box top before!  It's genius! 

    Her colors are Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist. I don't have measurements for the box but it's about 2 3/4" square and over 2" tall.  

    Here's another box she made where she stamped the entire box with many of the image in the set.  

    Her box is made from Lemon Lolly card stock and she added a layered stamped greeting made from one of the dies in the set.  It's almost like a long milk carton box that closes at the top with twine.  Neat! 

    Aren't her projects amazing?  She really showcased this neat bundle.  Stop back tomorrow for the rest of her projects!
