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!

  • Look at this! Ornate Borders wow!

    This is one of the cards I made for everyone who orders the Ornate Thanks bundle (or the Ornate Garden Suite) from me this month. 

    I used THREE of the Ornate Border dies for this card! 

    Ornate borders Blueberry Save

    It's Blueberry Bushel with White accents.  I will sure miss this color!  It will be retiring in just 9 days!  Be sure to get any of the 5 retiring in colors while you can. Once the list comes out on April 22nd they go very fast.

    Isn't that border die amazing?  And so simple too. The Blueberry Bushel card starts out as usual at 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4".  Then I used the detailed floral border die on the lower edge. *save a few of the leaves for the flower accent in the corner. 

    I used the dotted border die on the lower edge of the White card stock.  Stamp your greetings and add the ribbon and bow. 

    Next cut out the third detailed floral die-cut from a strip of White card stock.  Trim off just a little section of the flowers to add to the upper left corner; with a few of the extra leaves from the lower edge die-cut.

    Adding a White layer inside the card for stamping and/or writing your message highlights the gorgeous floral trim on the front.  

    This is just one of the FREE 3 cards you'll receive from me when you purchase either the Ornate Thanks bundle OR the entire Ornate Garden Suite from me this month.  See it all here in my online store.

  • Welcome Easter; three adorable card swaps!

    I received these cards in a long distance swap I participated in.  Unfortunately their labels came off so I don't know who made two of them so I cannot give credit.  So if you know of if it's yours please let me know!

    They're so adorable I just had to share them with you! You can see this stamp set here:

    Welcome Easter bunny. Save

    I love this peek-a-boo bunny here!  Yes; it's fussy cut.  There aren't dies for it.  She used Highland Heather and our Subtles designer paper.  I really like how she die-cut a circle from the square, flipped it over to reveal the reverse side of the designer paper. Very cool!  See all of our packages of 6 X 6" designer paper here. 

    Welcome Easter bunny Save

    That thin strip of Best Dressed designer paper adds a spring-like touch to it!  The sequins are from our Adhesive Backed package. 

    Welcome Easter lamb Save

    I know Karen Titus made this one. I just love her water-coloring!  Adding that bit of light gray or tan with a Blends marker adds so much depth!  

    The White is 2 5/8" stitched square from the Stitched Shapes dies.  The other colors are Seaside Spray, Gray Granite, Petal Pink and Soft Seafoam and are 1 3/4" square.  This layout really highlights the main image. 

    Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
