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!

  • Honey Bee Fun Fold-card with Golden Honey paper

    Here's a unique fun fold card that's super easy too!  We made them at my March card clubs.  

    They had a choice of colors, either Pineapple Punch or Lovely Lipstick to go with the Golden Honey specialty designer paper. Unfortunately this gorgeous paper is no longer available; they ran out of it a few weeks ago.  It was free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion that is still happening!  Be sure to get your favorites while supplies last and before March is over!

    On the above card we stamped the hive in Pineapple Punch and added a few die-cut bees and a greeting.   Here's the inside view:

  • Bunny Punch Art; a Pillow Box treat

    I made this project on this week's Facebook Live.  Join me at 11 am each Tuesday here. 

    I have seen a few of these cute punch art bunnies and wanted to make some!

    I'll be sending one of these to my 6 year old granddaughter; who loves animals and chocolate. 

    It's just two punches to create one; the Medium Daisy and Balloon Bouquet punches.  I used Crumb Cake and Blushing Bride card stock.  The pom pom 'tail' totally makes it a bunny!  These pom poms are from the Birthday Bonanza suite but sadly they are currently unavailable; they're out of stock.  I hope they get more in soon. 

    That fun swirled die-cut circle is from the Painted Label dies on page 26 of the mini catalog.  They are also currently unavailable but hopefully they'll be back soon.  The Poppies products have been very popular!

    These pillow boxes are in our annual catalog on page 172.  See them here.

    Inside the pillow box I added 6 chocolate nugget candies that are wrapped with our cute gingham designer paper.  I've been featuring this paper a lot lately.  We have it in every color; that's 50 colors!  It's part of a 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper on page 168 of the annual catalog.  Or see it here.

  • Reflection Technique with Mountain Air

    I honestly didn't know I'd enjoy creating with the Mountain Air bundle as much as I do.  I didn't think it would be so easy to work with!  

    Even this reflection technique is simple to create.  Do you know why?  Because of the reversible nature of these stamps.  The mountain image is textured on one side, creating the pretty mountain peaks on this card.  The mountain shadow/reflection on the water is made with the same stamp but using the solid side.

    This card is part of my free written projects tutorial for anyone who placed an online order from me in March.  And it's also free to anyone who orders the Mountain Air bundle too!  You can see this bundle here. 

    If you order it in March you can get a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Below I show each stamp in three ways.  First is the detailed side of the stamp, next is the flat side and lastly you see them together.  Reversible stamps are so neat and Stampin' Up! is super clever to create them!

    Details for the card above:

    1.  I stamped the mountains first, then the trees underneath. 
    2.  I turned the trees stamp upside down and without reinking, stamped them again for a reflection. 
    3.  Next the mountain reflection. 
    4.  Lastly I sponged a bit of light blue on the sky and darker blue for water.  
    5. The greetings are from the Well Written dies and Well Said stamp set. 
    6. Colors are Mossy Meadow, Pacific Point and Smoky Slate
