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 list is long! Sadly some of our very favorites are leaving us.  I frequently have people shocked to learn that they cannot get certain items any longer after a catalog retires. So I hope you'll take the time to check the list so YOU are not disappointed later. 

    Besides the items in the photo above, a few of my favorite items leaving us are:

    Here's a bunch of additional ways to use this Elegant Tag punch. You can lengthen it or insert narrower strips into it. Or use one end or the other to get lots of unique shaped tags with this Elegant Tag punch. 

    Unfortunately this punch is on back order until July!  But you can still order it right now.  I have a feeling they'll turn it off soon and it will be unorderable.

  • Today is the last day for the 36% off promotion! Plus Elegantly Said bundle & punch tips!

    Today is the last day to get in on the Starter Kit promotion seen here.  If your wish list is larger than $99 it only makes sense to choose this option. 

    Don't think of it as a commitment, but as an opportunity to get your SU products at a discount while you can.  When you're done ordering what you want you can stop.  That's it!  Simple and smart.  

    • Your first $300 in orders isn't 'due' until the end of September.  And we have the Holiday catalog AND Sale-a-Bration to order from in August.  It starts for customers in September but one of our favorite Demonstrator perks is pre-ordering from NEW catalogs a month earlier than everyone else.  
    • Another thing you might not know is that our $300 minimum order amount is retail; not discounted price.  So we're really spending just $240 to stay active and enjoy the discount.  All orders, yours or your friends all count.  
    • There's no need to sell or hold classes unless you'd like to.
