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!

  • Happy Chinese New Year; it’s the year of the Rabbit

    Did you know that 2023 is the year of the rabbit? The sign of Rabbit is a symbol of longevity, peace, and prosperity in Chinese culture. 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope.

    Look at this gorgeous card my team member Ginny made for a friend of hers:  

    Ginny Chinese New Year Save

    She used quite a few new products on this beauty:

    • Stamps – Decorative Borders seen here (2023 Spring Catalog)
    • Paper – Gold foil & Real Red
    • Other – Easter Bunny Punch, Red ribbon, Gold embossing powder, Heat Tool, Brushed Metallic dots

    Here's the Decorative Borders stamp set:

  • Awesome Sale-a-Bration Team card swap samples

    We held our monthly Team swap and meeting this weekend.  As usual my gals created fabulous cards to share with each other.  

    First is a rainbow of carrots card made by Karen.  She used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set.  It's a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; yours with any $50 purchase of Stampin' Up! products. 

    Jan Thanks a Bunch Karen Save

    Rainbow carrots are one of the fun food trends right now; she did it proud!  She used the Stamparatus to stamp her carrots, repositioning the card stock on her mat each time so the two step stamps lined up perfectly.  Genius!  I plan to share her technique soon.  

    She used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here, new Pastel Adhesive-Backed sequins, the Deckled Rectangle dies and the new Happy Labels Pick a Punch for her greeting.

    Ginny made this pretty card with the Beautifully Happy stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration. 

    Jan BeautifullyHappy Ginny Save

    It's a beautiful 2-step stamp set that is also distinktive; which means it gives two tones of ink on one stamping.  My favorite types of stamp hands down! 

    Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Black. She added that soft layer of Vellum too!

    Measurements are: 

    Card base 4 1/4" X 11", White – 3" X 4 1/8", Black 3 1/8" X 4 1/4" and Vellum is 3 5/8" X 4 3/4"

    Jane brought this cute card to share and I had to show you.  She used the Adorable Owls stamp set; another Sale-a-Bration choice that's free with a $50 purchase from now through February 28th. *see everything free here

    Can you see what is so unique about it?  

    Jan BeautifullyHappy Ginny Save

    The Owl tag is loose and can be removed from the card front.  It is caught on the horizontal greeting banner that is only anchored at the outer edges.  I love this idea!  You could add a bookmark in the same way.  

    Her colors are Calypso Coral with Fresh Freesia.

  • Desert Details WOW card

    I spent time playing with the Delicate Desert suite and this is what I came up with: 

    Desert Details Jan 23 LA Save

    I LOVE how it turned out!  I really wanted to use the Dry Brushed specialty paper along with the Desert Details bundle seen here.  The dies in it are so cool! 

    DESERT DETAILS BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    The two large rectangles and dies for the stamped flowers are just a few of the dies included.  

    Desert Details Jan 23 LA Save

    My colors include Petal Pink & Soft Succulent. I cut two of the open leaf dies from the center of the Dry Brushed large shape, leaving the outer frame intact. No one but me knows there are empty spaces under the White layer! 

    You can see the Dry Brushed metallic specialty paper here.  It's simply stunning!  

    DRY BRUSHED METALLIC 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    There are two of each sheet in this package of 12" metallic paper for $8. 

    Desert Details LA Save

    I added a few of the Gold Faceted Adhesive-Backed sequins on this card too.  They're also part of the Delicate Desert suite seen here.  

    Desert Details LA Save

    I hope you enjoyed this project; it came together so easily.
