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 way to make a 3 panel card with the Friendly Hello Bundle

    I shared this pretty card on last week's FB Live.  It features the new Friendly Hello bundle.  The stamp set AND the 12 X 12" Designer Paper is free with any $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. 

    Friendly Hello DSP card Save

    These pretty colors include Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  I colored in the bird, flowers & leaves with Stampin' Blends markers. 

    My top favorite thing about Stampin' Up! is our coordinating colors.  The fact that everything matches & coordinates so effortlessly takes so much work out of the creative process!  I used to struggle so much to get things to match before I 'met' Stampin' Up!

    Measurements:

    • Pool Party card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, White 4” X 5 ¼”
    • Evening Evergreen 2 7/8” X 1 ¾”.
    • DSP 3 pieces 1 3/4” X 5”, 1 7/8” X 3”, 1 7/8” square

    I stamped one of the images onto the edges of my inside layer; almost like a frame.  Love this added detail!

  • 3 ideas with the Friendly Hello bundle with video & measurements

    I featured the Friendly Hello bundle on last week's Facebook Live. One of the projects is this 'latch fold' card. Click here to get to my page & I hope you'll follow me too. 

    It's normally called a Joy Fold card but I added the flowers on the lower left as a latch to hold it closed.  I like it when a fun fold card stays flat and doesn't pop open on it's own. 

    Friendly Hello Latch Save

     

    The color combination is Pool Party with Fresh Freesia.  I think it's soft & springy; which we sorely need right now in North Dakota.  It's super color the last few weeks with more snow than I like!  

    Friendly Hello Latch Save

    Click here to see the Friendly Hello bundle.  It's part of our Sale-a-Bration offering through the end of February, 2022.  It's free with a $100 purchase from my store. I love this time of year when everyone can get something free with their purchase.  Most items are free with a $50 order but there are a few of higher value that are free with a $100 order.  

    FRIENDLY HELLO BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    I stamped the left flap of the card with the double flower image instead of texturing it.  I like the tone on tone stamping.  It adds detail without getting 'busy'.  

    I added the new Iridescent Rhinestones to the flower centers.  Love these so much!  I'm actually gifting a package away to everyone who places an online order over $50 this month.  See them here.

    Calming Camellia leaf cards.. Save

    I chose a few green/blue tones to stamp the same leaf image – Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green & Just Jade.  After stamping on the 1 3/4" X 2 3/4" White pieces I added texture with the new set of embossing folders called Stripes & Splatters 3D in the new Spring catalog. See them here. I did heat emboss the greetings with White embossing powder also.

    The pretty embellishments are called Faux Sea Glass Shapes. They are available here in the new 2022 Jan-June Spring catalog.

    This pretty stamp set is free to hosts during January & February with an order over $300.  You probably think that's way too large of an order.  But there is a way around that!  Here are a few ways:

    2. Or contact me here for a host code just for you and a few friends.  Each of you orders using the host code and the orders count together towards Host benefits.  You'll get this stamp set free AND $36 in free product as well!
