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!

  • Beautiful Gallery Suite in an ‘over the top’ card

    I was playing with the Beautiful Gallery suite for last week's Live video and came up with this card.  

    Gallery Blooms bouquet Save

    It has tons of die-cuts and layers I am calling it 'over the top'.  It's not my normal style at all.  But I do like it; probably because it has just a few colors in it. That helps it not seen too busy.  

    The textured 'frames' are done with the Damask Designs folder; both are die-cut frames in the Gallery Bloom dies (which are out of stock right now unfortunately). The smaller frame is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The DSP in the background is the Beautiful Bokeh paper. 

    My colors include Fresh Freesia with White and Old Olive.

    I inked the two different floral stamps with Stampin' Write markers, coloring directly onto the stamp before stamping on my White CS.  Watch the video below to get a tip or two on this technique.   The rest of the pretty die-cuts are from this Suite seen here.

  • The Arches dies are back in stock! An Arched Wishes easy card idea in a fresh color combo

    I created this cute card for a Demo swap I participated in.  

    Arched Acres disney. Save

    The Arched Wishes stamp set coordinates with the Arches dies which are back in stock.  See the stamp set here and the Arches dies here.  

    My colors include Petunia Pop with Summer Splash and the new Secret Sea. I love them together!  

    This stamp set is super fun and includes great celebration images. 

    Arched acres disney Save

    Do you see how it's a bit of a fun fold?  Basically the Secret Sea back is 4 1/4" X 5 1/4" and the Petunia Pop is 4" X 10 1/2" and the card layer that flips up. Score it at 5 1/4" and add to the larger layer.  

    Technique Tip: If you're wondering how I colored the cupcake I used designer series paper for both the liner and the frosting. This is called paper piecing – where you stamp the image onto DSP and fussy cut it out.

    Check out the confetti on the frosting.  I used the Loose Shaker elements seen here. Simply add a tiny dot of liquid glue and drop the sparkle on top!
