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!

    I bet this year many of us will be giving gift cards more than ever.  This social distancing is hard but during the Holiday's it's going to be so tough!  If you are missing celebrating with your family this year I feel for you.  Holidays are meant to be enjoyed together. But if it keeps us and them safe I'm sure it's the right decision. But we don't have to like it, right?! 

    Here's a fun gift card holder you can make to give those gift cards in. 

    Santa tags Save

    I made one during last week's Facebook Live but you can see the video below, or here on my YouTube Channel.

    These cards look pretty ordinary from the front but there's a surprise inside; see below:

    Isn't it cool?  And it's super easy to do.  It's a 6" square of designer paper that you fold in halves with a bone folder. No measuring at all!
