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!

  • Pretty & Iridescent Whimsy & Wonder Team card swaps!

    Check out these pretty cards made with the Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer paper and the Whimsical Trees bundle.

    This first one was made by Marilyn.  She trimmed off an inch on the right side of her card front so it shows off the pretty Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper.

    Other features here are the Iridescent Snowflakes, the Merry Melody embossing folder and the Genial Gems from the Annual catalog. 

    This Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer paper has been on low inventory multiple times.  It is not carrying over so get it while you can here.

  • A Shaker Card anyone can make with the Peaceful Deer bundle

    Have you ever made a shaker card?  Have you thought it was too much work to bother with or maybe you thought you needed special supplies? 

    Well today I'm sharing a fun & EASY shaker card idea. The only special thing you need is a clear envelope or cello bag.  

    And the Deer Punch is now available!!!  Get it here. 

    Peaceful Deer shaker Save

    These cards are so fun and interactive.  You will be so proud to give one of these. One of my favorite things about this type of shaker card is that it isn't thick so it requires no extra postage. 

    1st step: add a white punched deer from the Deer Builder punch popped up with a Dimensional. 

    2nd: Insert into your clear envelope and add a good pinch of Subtle Shimmer sequins. 

    3rd: Fold the envelope over tightly to keep the sequins on the side of the DSP you want. Secure the flap. 

    Here's a photo of the back of the shaker part.  You can see the back side of the designer paper and where I folded the clear envelope over to secure.  A small cello bag would also work here.  

    After the shaker part is done just add your frame over it securing with adhesive.  Add to the card and finish! 

    Peaceful Deer shaker Save

    Here's a version featuring the Whimsy & Wonder specialty designer paper; it works wonderfully here.  The card base and ink are Mint Macaron. The greeting is from the Peaceful Deer stamp set and the die-cut is from Tasteful Labels dies.

    And below is the video; or click here to see it on YouTube.  I sure hope you watch it AND make one yourself!

  • Live tonight! Show off your Designer Paper with this fun layout!

    We're making these cards tonight on Facebook Live here.  Every other Monday I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live where we use our Designer Paper in fun ways.  

    I love this layout!  It is perfect for small patterns of Designer Paper. Turning squares on the angle adds a lot of playful interest to your card and showcases one main image, die-cut or punch in the center.

    I post the measurements a few days before the Live event so you have the time to prep your pieces so we can complete them together.
