Beautiful stamped scenes & video with After the Storm set

Since I cannot draw, sketch or paint I stamp.  My husband, Mom, sister and cousin have all painted beautiful scenes and I have many of them hanging in my home.  I think this is why I love creating stamped scenes.  Scene builder sets are some of my favorites; it truly makes me feel like an artist!  I made these cards on a recent FB Live. *video is posted below

After the Storm all Save

The After the Storm stamp set (seen here) is France Martin's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set.  It caught my eye right away.  I had a play with it one afternoon and created these cards. 

After the storm scenes Save

I'm sharing two today and will give the details on the other two tomorrow. 

After the Storm Freesia Save

You might wonder where I got the hills/mountain image.  Well it's the clouds stamp!  I love finding new ways to use stamps to create something beautiful yet unexpected! 

The colors here are Fresh Freesia, So Saffron and Garden Green.  I used a direct to paper technique, swiping my ink pad across the White CS for the horizon.  I stamped the clouds using Fresh Freesia ink. 

I did add just a bit of Pale Papaya ink at the top and swiped my White Craft ink pad across it at the end. 

For this next card I used a totally different technique with the Blending Brushes.  

After the storm sunset Save

I used the following inks: Old Olive, Pool party, So Saffron and Calypso Coral. I used Blending Brushes for the Pool Party and So Saffron inks and for the sunset I used a sponge dauber for the Calypso Coral.

Again I used the large cloud stamp to create the hills. 

Below is the video for both of these cards & two more!

  • Change is Beautiful Paper Pumpkin alternatives; plus discounted past kits while supplies last!

    April's Paper Pumpkin kit is filled with butterflies, scenes & fun fold cards.  Each month I enjoy creating alternative designs with the contents in the kits to share with my subscribers each month.  
     
    I couldn't wait to play with this kit!  Here's a pretty card I made just an hour after receiving my box:
     
     
    I cut the front of a card base to fit on the front of a Crushed Curry card base and used other elements in the kit (butterfly, flower, banner & gems) to create this scene.  I love changing up the cards; the kits are great as is but the challenge of creating something new is fun!
     
    This next card uses the other half of the original card base.  The flower layer and the polka dot layer behind it are from the original card.  I did trim them just a bit to fit on a White layer.  
    Other Details: 
    • I stamped the butterfly in the kit onto the Granny Apple Green layer with Versamark ink for a soft background. 
    • The caterpillar is from the kit.  
    • The butterflies are stamped on White card stock using Black Memento ink and colored in with Blends markers. 
    • The greeting is stamped on an Oval die-cut. 
    Heads up on May's Paper Pumpkin kit – it will feature each of our 5 new In Colors AND they are adding Golden Vouchers worth $25 USD to some of the boxes. The winners will find their Golden Voucher in their May 2022 Paper Pumpkin box.

  • Easiest way to create a scene; the Oceanfront stamp set!

    Making swaps with a 'water theme' for my Flowerbug's Team was my first play with the Oceanfront stamp set seen here. I found out how easy it is to create a beautiful scene with just 4 stamped images.  

    OCEANFRONT PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET Save

    My colors include Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Black & Sahara Sand.

    The Pebbles Enamel Shapes embellishments are so perfect for the faux stones on the beach.  They were unavailable for quite awhile but they're now back! 

    PEBBLES ENAMEL SHAPES Save

    The greeting & Palm tree are from the Paradise Palms bundle seen here.  It pairs wonderfully with the Oceanfront stamp set.  

    PARADISE PALMS BUNDLE Save

    The Diorama dies make this card even more unique.  I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the outer 'frame' of the scene and adhered the center down flat. This reveals just a bit of the Black layer and gives dimension or depth to the scene.  

    Using the Stamparatus helped make these 14 swap cards quick work!  I love that we can reverse the plates on our Stamparatus so I could stamp all 4 images; one on each side of the 2 plates.

    I think these cards are a great 'guy' card or for those who love the beach.
