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!

  • Easy Wildflower Birthday fun fold with free project sheet & video tutorial

    I'm excited to share this card with you today.  

    Wildflowers Birthday club Save

    It's a type of Z-fold but different than I've seen before.  With two quick score lines you have an easy & unique card fold! I love how this card gives you three ways to show off our coordinating DSP.  

    I featured the Wildflower Birthday specialty designer series paper on these pretty cards.  It's filled with floral & birthday prints with splashes of gold foil.  It also comes with 2 sheets of die-cut elements as shown below which allows for super quick creating.  See it here.

    I still have a few of my pre-cut kits to go available with this pretty DSP or the PDF tutorial. See it here.

    Today I'm sharing two incredible fun fold swaps from our Team card swap this month.  The theme was to feature plaid. 

    April Candace Save

    Candace created her own plaid using markers on the upper left panel.  Wow!  He also used the Thankful Garden bundle for her flowers and leaves. This bundle includes dies and masks!  See it here.  

    I love the sponging she did on her die-cut leaves.  Her colors include Lost Lagoon, Soft Sea Foam and Highland Heather.  The inside die is from the Arches dies – currently unavailable unfortunately.

    Note how the front panel with the checkered banner is outside the left side of the card. 

    She used the Timeless Plaid & Otterly Adorable DSP here as well as the Arches dies.  Inside you'll find the Soft Waves embossing folder with a bit of sponging to catch the texture.

    And it opens yet one more time!  I love how she added details to every layer on each side.   Her greetings are from the Everyday Arches bundle and Arched Wishes set.
