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!

  • Fun Origami Folded Window cards for FB Live Monday!

    Have you made an origami folded window?  They're so easy to do!  I'll be making cards like these on Monday night's FB Live 'Stamp with Me' here.

    Feb 22 Berry Delightful cards Save

    You'll start with a 4" square of Designer Paper.  I chose to use the Berry Delightful paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    Then you draw an X in the center. Do this by placing a ruler from corner to corner.  Draw a line.  Do the same once more on the other corners.  This X is where you will bring the DSP point up to.  Press well and then fold back the tip to the fold. Do this on all corners!

    It looks like the tip hangs off the corner but it doesn't. I added a layer to some of these measuring 3" square.  If you add a stamped layer inside that is 2 3/4" square.

    The stamps are from the Berry Blessings stamp set; it comes with this super fun designer paper in a bundle.  It's FREE with a $100 order through February 28th.  If you place an order to earn this bundle you'll also receive a free 10 cards kit from me for my 12 X 12" one sheet wonder.

  • Seashells fun fold card; wow!

    Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap. 

    Feb Sharon Seashells...JPG Save

    I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea!  She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder. 

    Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper.  This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here.

    That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here.

    • Blushing Bride 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" inside, 2 7/8" X 4 1/8" front

  • Playful & unique cards with Oh So Ombre’ Designer paper!

    Do you have the fabulous Oh So Ombre' Designer Series Paper yet?  If not here are three creative reasons you need it!

    Feb 16 Oh So Ombre Save

    Aren't they fun!  I really wanted to show you how amazing this designer paper is so I played and came up with these neat card ideas.  First is a starburst card in two colors; Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss.  

    I used the fabulous Stitched Star dies and the Oval Occasions stamp set.  Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to make one of these gorgeous cards.

    Next I played with the Dandy Wishes dies (2021 Spring Catalog) to create these 'Retro' style cards.  I first die-cut a bunch of 'windows' in the White panel.  Then added punched circles of the Oh So Ombre DSP behind them.  Next I textured the entire thing with an embossing folder.  

    Feb 16 Oh So Ombre Starburst Save

    For the last card I wanted to use those retro style die-cuts so I created this Ombre panel card.  The stamp set is from Field of Flowers.
