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

May 28, 2021

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

Save

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

I did add the Multipurpose Liquid glue on this list even though it's not retiring. However the price is going up to $5.50 in the next catalog. It's on low inventory right now too!

I will not have a FB Live today; I have laryngitis so I cannot talk.

Also note that some prices are going up. The cost of business is increasing world wide; as I'm sure you've noticed when shopping. Here's a chart showing some of the price changes in the upcoming new Annual Catalog.

Now on to the projects!

I shared these neat cards on last week's Live video. I love it when you can show off both sides of our pretty designer papers!

Save

This card uses almost half of a 12 X 12" piece of designer paper; but it truly makes the most of your printed paper.

I chose the Pretty Prints DSP from the Annual catalog. It includes 4 colors; Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Evening Evergreen and Blackberry Bliss. It's on the retiring list now and discounted to $8.40 instead of $12. See it here.

Save

It's quite an easy fold to make. You make a few score lines and then trim off the top at an angle; then add that trimmed piece to the bottom edge. Watch the video to see how it's done.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
- DSP 5 ¼” X 12” score at 2”, 4”, 8” & 10”. Mark at 2 3/8” and cut off to 4” mark
- White front square 2 1/4", inside 3 3/4" X 5"
- Front square layer 2 1/2"
Save

I chose the Kind & Sincere stamp set for my greetings. I think the mixed font and wide range of phrases is fabulous. Unfortunately it is on the retiring list. It's now $15.60 instead of $26.
