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.

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!

  • Hot Dog; what an amazing fun fold card!

    Have you been enjoying the window cards I've shared this week?  I have more coming tomorrow!   My Flowerbug's Team amaze me each and every month.  They really put effort into creating incredible projects like this fun & amazing card Annette made with the Hot Dot stamp set!  

    March Annette Hot Dog Save

    I was blown away by it! She based her colors off of the Playful Pets designer paper seen here. *this will likely retire in a week!

    It took a lot of time and effort into lining up the Stitched Nested Label dies so the Real Red window lined up with the inside layers.  She told me that she adhered the designer paper to the front of the card before die-cutting the window.  She did by placing the die between the layers cutting side up; in the middle of the card itself. That takes some patience in lining it all up!

  • Two Unique Window cards with Dragonfly Dreams & Soar Confidently stamp sets.

    I'm featuring our Team Swaps this week and the theme was 'window cards'.  I was so impressed with each and every one of them!  

    First up is Deloris's card with the Dragonfly Garden stamp set seen here.

    The little dragonfly is from the Dragonfly Punch which is in the Dragonfly Garden bundle seen here. 

    March Deloris Dragonfly Garden Save

    She used two of the Stitched Label dies and the Subtle embossing folder.  Her colors are Pear Pizzazz and Rich Razzleberry.  I believe she colored the flowers in with Blends markers.  Beautiful job! 

    *The greeting and die-cut are retired and not currently available.

    Next is a gorgeous card made by Ginny.  She used the Oval dies and the Soar Confidently stamp set seen here.  

    March Deloris Dragonfly Garden Save

    Her colors are Crumb Cake with Soft Suede & Vanilla. That great texture is from the Tasteful Textile folder in the annual catalog. Adding a bit of color to the balloon really makes it stand out!  Take a look at the inside!
