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.

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!

Misty Trees Beauty of Friendship card

May 7, 2021
With each new catalog I always join several card swaps so I have lots of samples to share with my customers.

Here's one I created featuring the Beauty of Friendship Bundle.

Save

The colors are the new In Colors of course; Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen. The background stamping is made by stamping the trees several times without reinking. This gives you several hues/generations of ink which creates a misty, grouping of trees. I love this effect with a 'naked' tree! It reminds me of my Father-in-Law who loved naked trees.

Other details:
- The greeting is stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on a 1" strip of our Vellum card stock. I immediately heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. Classic (or waterbase) ink does not dry quickly on vellum so you get colored, embossing easily.
- The vellum was cut long enough to wrap around the outside edge and adhere to the back side.
- The dark tree was stamped in Evening Evergreen ink on White CS and die-cut with the Beautiful Trees dies.

You can see this Beauty of Friendship bundle here. It's just lovely and I think it's going to be super popular!

Pansy Petals cards kit to go; pretty & spring-like!

May 6, 2021
The new Pansy Petals designer paper is so pretty it was easy to create beautiful, eye catching cards with it.

Save

Here are a few reasons why I love this new Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper:
- It has three different sheets of gingham; all in the new In Colors
- There are full sheets filled with life-like pansies and pretty leaves
- The pansy dies coordinate with these flowers and leaves! No fussy cutting if you have them.
- It features each of the 5 beautiful, new In Colors!!
Anyway; this pre-cut kit to go is available through May May 18th. There is also a pdf tutorial available.

This kit includes the following:
- 1/2 pkg of Pansy Petals DSP (6" X 12")
- 2021-23 In Color jewels
- Soft Succulent ribbon
- 10 pre-cut cards; 3 of the 5 designs are fancy folds!
- the PDF tutorial including measurements, photos, supply list & step by step directions
The kit does not include pre-stamped images, adhesive or stamps. I used the Pansy Patch bundle for greetings and the dies to cut out the flowers & leaves from the DSP. You can also fussy cut them if you choose to.

*This kit will likely be mailed in early June due to a back-order on the In Color jewels.

Go here to order the kit to go.

The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.
