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!

  • You are Remarkable fun fold card with the new Botanical Textures DSP & Arches dies


    I shared this card on last week's FB Live.  I made it for an online card swap.  I just love it! 

    It's a simple fold back card with the Arches dies and the new You Are  remarkable stamp set.  Here's what it looks like opened: I love the double Arches dies here! These dies are in low inventory AGAIN.  See them here.    

    The You Are Remarkable stamp set (seen here) is both a 2-step stamp and a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of ink with one stamping.  I like that you can stamp the flower and leaves separately in different color inks from the single outline stamp.  Note the inside flower image above that I stamped without the outline.  I like it just as well this way too!

  • You are Remarkable card in a clean & simple style with video & free project sheet


    I created this pretty card with the new 'You Are Remarkable' stamp set from our Online Exclusive offering. 

    I was going for a clean & simple look since that's our March Team swap theme.  I just received this pretty stamp set and love the 2-step & distinktive set a lot!  See this stamp set here. 

    My colors include Black, White, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves. The embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and is from the Annual Catalog. 

    I also used the new Textured Notes dies for the stitched rectangles.  These are incredible!  See them here:

    On the video I changed the card a bit from the original on the left. Which do you prefer?  How many differences can you spot?

  • Delightful Wishes fun fold card swap


    Look at this beautiful card Paula made for last month's card swap. The theme was to use circles. 

    She used the Floral Delight suite (seen here) which includes the following products:

    • Delightful Wishes bundle seen here
    • Floral Delight DSP
    • Bees Trinkets *unavailable right now 
    • Floral & Gingham Vellum

    It's a super neat fun fold with two opening flaps. 

    Here are the measurements:

    • card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Cut off the upper left flap diagonally. 
    • second flap 8 1/2" X 3 1/4" scored at 4 1/4"
    • two pieces of DSP 5 1/4" X 4", one cut in half diagonally. 
    • Crushed Curry CS 4" X 3"
    • inside White 4" X 3"

    Some of my favorite things about this card are the circle greetings, the die-cut vellum flowers, the little bees and the bright & springy colors.  Thanks for creating this incredible card Paula!
