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!

  • A gorgeous card with the Joyful Tidings set

    This beautiful card has tons of Gold accents plus there are lots of neat tips you’ll appreciate. I made it during last week’s video.

    Save

    It was originally created for our November Team swap. The theme was to use foil or metallic heat embossing. I did both!

    Notice the background stamping on the right side; I used the Amber Autumn set with Versamark ink. The greeting is from the Ornamental Christmas set. The gold foil ‘wheat’ die-cuts are from the Amber Autumn dies
    The wreath stamp set is Joyful Tidings and can be seen here. I’ve always loved wreaths and used to collect them.

    Save

    Here I simply heat embossed the partial wreath in Gold embossing powder. It’s stamped on a die-cut from the Spotlight on Nature dies. See the pretty gold hoop? Those are available here and are applied with either mini glue dots or thin lines of Multipurpose Liquid Glue (which I did).

    My colors include Basic Beige, Mossy Meadow and Gold foil. I textured the Mossy Meadow layer with the Wreath 3D embossing folder. I also used the Labeled with Love punch to achieve the ‘ticket’ shaped corners.
    *look at your punches to see if you can use them in new ways!

    Save

    This card is a slightly different fold because the second layer is what opens. I created a free project sheet for this card for you. Click here to download or print it.

    Save

    I also have a video tutorial seen below for this beautiful card and one more beautiful card featuring the Joyful Tidings stamp set that I’ll share Wednesday.
