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!

  • Two projects with the brand new Color & Contour bundle!!

    I created these cards when I was working on some card swaps I participated in.  I like to create a bunch of cards and then decide which one's to use and mail out.  

    I chose the Color & Contour bundle because it's full of wonderful dies perfect for the pretty floral image in the stamp set. And I'm glad it's a 2-step stamp set. 

    For this first card I chose the Pale Papaya In Color and accented it with Black. 

    Can you spy all of the new products I used?  There are 5 if you count everything.

    1. The Scalloped Contour dies – the pretty Black scalloped border and the main scalloped rectangle; all in the same bundle. 
    2. Color & Contour stamp set (included in the bundle at 10% off).  I stamped the background with a daisy stamp in the set 
    3. Pale Papaya ink and card stock
    4. Pale Papaya & White ribbon
    5. Genial Gems (the package includes Pale Papaya & Mint Macaron)

    Next is a card I did end up using for an online swap. The colors here are Fresh Freesia and Soft Succulent.

    Look at the new Gingham paper!  It's included in the Pansy Petals 12" designer series paper pack.  Look at the gorgeous ribbon!  It's so soft & pretty and available in all of our new In Colors. 

    I also used another new dies set called Tailor Made Tags for the greeting.  It has 4 sizes of tags in two styles along with reinforcements for the holes.  I cannot wait for you all to have the new Annual Catalog in your hands!!  

    If you want to get your hands on the new Annual Catalog products early you can add any of these items to your Starter Kit seen here.  Our Starter Kit is always 20% off; you get $125 in product for just $99 and free shipping as well!

  • Three neat cards with the Dragonfly Garden bundle including a Faux shaker & Fun-Fold card

    I have a few special cards to share today.  They look difficult or 'fancy' but aren't.  At the end of this post is the video where I share how to make them.  Scroll down to see it or click here.

    This first card is a fun fold that opens in a unique way.  

    Dragonfly window card Save

    It's made of two folded pieces of card stock and a few circle dies.  The punched dragonflies are directly from the Dandy Garden DSP.  I didn't stamp them since they match the Dragonflies punch perfectly!

    I posted the measurements in the photo for you.  I try to share them on my FB Live's so people can take screen shots.

    This next card is a 'Faux Shaker' card.  I use one of Stampin' Up!'s clear envelopes to create a pocket of fun that I add to my card front. They are so addictive to shake & rattle!  Watch how in the video below; it's surprisingly easy to make!

    This last card was made to highlight the beautiful but seldom seen Dandelions 3D embossing folder.  It's so pretty and wonderfully detailed.  Great for simple but elegant cards as you can see here.

    This card was made using Purple Posy card stock which is retiring this month. So sad to see it go!  But we are getting a new purple/pink color in the 2021 new catalog called Fresh Freesia that I know we'll love. 

    Here's the video; I hope you watch it!

  • Circle Celebration; so fun!

    I have to share this neat card Chanda made for her Card Club swap.  I love seeing their style and what my gals make. 

    Circle Celebration Chanda Save

    She stamped the images from the Circle Celebration stamp set (seen here) all over her 4" X 5 1/4" White CS.  Then she stamped more and punched and fussy cut them out to add dimension to the card. 

    I believe her colors are Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Real Red. 

    Such a fun and happy card.  Great job Chanda! 

    I'll be using this fun stamp set in a Kit to Go in May; the cards are so fun!!
