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 is the word for the Hand Penned suite!

    This is one of the first cards I made with the Hand-Penned suite.  I chose to use the Soft Succulent card base with Fresh Freesia and So Saffron accents. 

    Hand Penned Thanks Save

    That pretty paper is called Hand-Penned Designer Paper seen here on page 131 of the new Annual catalog.  It features so many soft, beautiful colors. People are loving it so much I will likely feature it for a kit to go in June.

  • Sweet Ice Cream Fun Fold card with video tutorial

    We made this special fun fold card at last month's Card Clubs.  See how it latches on the punched ice cream piece? 

    Sweet Ice Cream March Club. Save

    I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle and the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper seen here.  This DSP is retiring in June; if you like it get it now while you can. The cones on this card are punched from the designer paper itself.  No need to stamp them when the paper is perfect! The card stock is Cinnamon Cider with Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive.

    ICE CREAM CORNER 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    You can mix & match the designer papers for a nice variety of cards.  I used Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz and Cinnamon Cider ink, stamping off first for the solid ice cream images. 

    The Sweet Ice Cream bundle is available now in the Spring catalog. This set & punch are carrying over into the current Annual catalog but they are no longer a bundle at 10% off.  Save $$ and get them now at a discount. 

    Be sure to watch the video below to see how to make this card.

    Here are the measurements for you:

    • Cinnamon Cider 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" plus 3 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
