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

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. 

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.  

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!

  • Fun & Simple card layout for designer paper with video tutorial


    Here's one more card shared on last week's Live video.  It is a very simple layout with a bit of fun to it. 

    It's simply two layers of designer series paper with a slanted greeting across it. The slant adds a bit of playfulness to the vertical layers.  

    I used the Mixed Media Florals suite seen here.  It's in our Online Exclusives line which is available to everyone.  The Online title confuses some people but all it really means is that it's not in any published catalog and can be found in our online store.  


    I tried another version above; one with flowers and the other with a patterned design.  Which do you prefer? 

    The center panel is 2" X 5 1/2" and the outer is 2 1/2" X 5 1/2".  The Black strip across is 1" wide.  

    The main panel is actually black & white without color.  I used our Blends markers to add color to it.  I love the ability to add whatever color I want to feature.  In this case Petal Pink with pops of Lemon Lolly, Black and Old Olive. 



    Below is the video tutorial for this card and two other layouts using this pretty designer paper.

  • Make a bunch of these cards with the Mixed Media Florals suite


    I love this card layout!  You can use both sides of your DSP with this easy design.  

    I used the Mixed Media Floral suite on this card:

    I don't have a free project sheet for this card as it's one featured in my free PDF this month (with any online order).  But here are the basic measurements:

    • Coral layer – 4 1/2" X 3 1/4"
    • DSP 3" square & 1 1/8" X 3" strip

  • Neat Z-fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    Today I'm sharing a neat Z-fold card that's a little different than usual.  I chose to feature the new Mixed Media Floral designer paper from our Online Exclusives line.  You can see it here.  

    My colors include Mossy Meadow, White & Calypso Coral. The left card above has a 4" square of DSP as the main panel. On the right card I fussy cut the flowers from the DSP and added them over a printed blue panel that resembles sky. 

    The greeting is from the SAB Heart Shaped bundle; the die-cut is from the Mixed Label dies and the Coral piece is punched using the Labeled with Love punch.

    You can see how it opens in the photo below: The card base is 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" and there's a full 11" X 4 1/4" scored layer above it.
