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!

  • Berry Delightful Fun Fold cards with video


    Here are the cards we made at my January Card Clubs featuring the Berry Delightful bundle in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Everyone loved how easy this fold is!  

     

    I gave them the choice of either blueberry or raspberry cards; this stamp set and designer paper work beautifully with both!  It also pairs fabulously with the Sweet Strawberry bundle too! 

    I used Rich Razzleberry & Pacific Point card stock and ink on these cards; plus some Garden Green ink.  

    Check it out here on the Sale-a-Bration choices; the Designer paper and stamp set are FREE with a $100 order while supplies last. 

    And remember that those who order this bundle from me get a free 10 cards pre-cut kit and PDF tutorial!!  I have a few left. 

    And it uses your card stock efficiently too! Measurements are below. 

         

    See that gorgeous stitching around the inside layer?  That's the new Stitched with Whimsy dies. They stitch but don't cut.  There are 6 assorted sizes in this set.  You can see it here.  

    Measurements:

    • Main card 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"
      Designer paper 1 3/4" X 4"
      White 2 1/2" X 3 1/4" for front, 4" X 5 1/4" inside front layer 2 3/4" X 3 1/2"

    You can catch my tips on stamping these 2-step images and the fun fold design below in my video.
