Beautiful stamped scenes & video with After the Storm set

May 27, 2021

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

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.

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.

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!

I created a colorful group of cards for my new Team members last week. I had a bunch of random pieces in the pack of Designer Paper and I decided to challenge myself to use mostly extras & just create!

Look at the fun colors and layouts! I grabbed my bags of scraps and a pile of White CS strips and just played. Have you ever done this?

Save

This Flower & Field DSP (seen here) has so many different color combos in it; all with a Black background. Honestly at first I wasn't sure I liked it. However I love to accent with black; it seems to make a card stand out beautifully. Looking at these cards now I just love i

Field & Flower Mystery Card

February 10, 2021

I am holding a mystery card challenge with me Team. I send them a variety of pieces in a card base and challenge them to use them to create a card. They can cut up or punch, or add anything to create an original card.

This week I'm sharing a few projects with the pretty Field & Flower DSP (seen here) from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's currently free with any $50 order US.

Here is what I came up with for my Mystery card:

Save

In their packet I added a White card base, a large piece of Flower & Field designer series paper, a strip of Bumblebee CS, punched Black & white pieces and some Bumblebee ribbon. I decided to add a few stitched flowers from the Pierced Bloom dies (seen here). Look at this amazing stitching!

Save

The Black center is from the Perennial Petal dies (seen here) however. I love that cute die! The greeting is from the Happy Thoughts stamp set.

To create this angled piece I started with a 4" X 4 1/4" piece of designer paper and just cut it in half on the diagonal. It really doesn't matter what your angle is. Then I added a strip of Bumblebee CS underneath the diagonal cut. So easy!
