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!

    As you can see it looks a bit tricky… but with my step by step tutorial it's not!  I do have a PDF project sheet for it but even with the written instructions I the video posted below will help a lot.  

    I chose to use the Irresistible Blooms bundle and the Hello, Irresistible 6 X 6" designer paper (currently in low inventory). Both of these are Online Exclusives.  My colors are Lost Lagoon with Soft Sea Foam.

    There is a little fold of card stock under the stamped White tag that pops it up when the card is opened. 

    Here's a peek at it.  There are three rolled up mini glue dots on the peak of this piece that adheres the tag to it.

    I made a second version during the video using Petal Pink card stock.

  • Holiday Catalog sneak peak video; the Abundant Beauty Decorative masks for gorgeous sunflowers!

    Look at these beautiful sunflowers! 

    Abundant Beauty sunflowers Save

    Can you tell that they're not stamped? I used a brand new set of decorative masks called Abundant Beauty, from the upcoming 2023 Holiday mini catalog.  It's a set of 7 masks including 4 for the sunflowers, snowflakes, houndstooth and falling leaves.

    I used sponge daubers and the following colors: Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive and Pecan Pie.

    After I added the images I textured it with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. Then added a bit more Crushed Curry ink around the edges. 

    I shared how to make this card step-by-step in the video seen here.   

    The greeting is from a brand new FABULOUS greeting set called So Sincere (from the upcoming Holiday catalog).  It's incredible; you're all going to want it.  It's on a die-cut from a new Autumn Leaves die set.  I added a bit of the Natural Wavy trim to the bottom of the greeting piece.
