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!

    The dots on the pretty die-cut butterfly and circle are made with our new Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics seen here.  It comes in three colors and is so easy to use.  

    You can even make your own removable enamel dots by applying it to excess mini glue dot tape or to our Silicone Mat.

  • Another easy but fun fold card with Butterfly Kisses

    Here's one more quick fun fold card idea for you.  The entire front flap of the card is your designer paper!  So cool! 

    Butterfly Kisses DSP Save

    Again I used the Butterfly Kisses 6" designer paper seen here.  It's in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog and so full of fun patterns & bright colorful butterflies.  The butterflies are perfect to fussy cut too!  

    Can you see how the front right piece of designer paper is anchored to just the very left flap of the main card base?  

    Butterfly Kisses DSP Save

    I used the Charming Sentiments stamp set for my greeting and the Stylish Shapes dies for the stitched circle. These dies are currently out of stock but will be back by mid September. 

    The measurements are in the photo below:

    I also used the Fun Flower Resin Shapes on the cards too. They are part of the Butterfly Kisses Suite seen here.
