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

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.  

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!

  • How to make the embossing folder the star of your card; with video!


    I shared a few ways to highlight the texture on your 3D embossing folders on last week’s video. I shared the cards I created with the 5 new In Colors and how it’s done.

    This is the Floral Spray 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s currently out of stock unfortunately. Please put your name on the list to be notified when it’s back.

    Steps: I textured the CS first. Then rubbed my Craft White ink pad over it lightly. It catches on all the pretty raised areas, highlighting them beautifully. This can take some practice and I recommend you ink pad not be fully inked.

    I wrapped matching In Color ribbons across the cards and added a greeting. So simple but stunning in person.

    The greeting die-cuts are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here. The greetings are from the Opulent Oasis & Balloon Festoon stamp sets.

    Of course this technique; I’m calling it ‘white-washing’ shows up best on darker card stock. Here’s one I did with the Fern & Flora embossing folder seen here:

    This is our new Peaceful Pine in color. The greeting tag is from the new Classic Labels Mix & Match ephemera seen here. Love these pretty White labels!

    Below is the video tutorial with tips for success on this technique.

  • Beautiful Scenic Coast swap card


    Look at this beautiful Scenic Coast swap card made by Darla. Our Team swap theme was to use new product from the 2026 May-August catalog.

    She used multiple new products here. First is the Scenic Coast DSP seen here and the Sunset Coast bundle here for the main image. I love how she added yellow to the lighthouse and green to the hills. They are small itty pieces inserted in the die-cut windows. Wow!

    The background is Crisp Cantaloupe textured with the So Swirly embossing folder. The White ‘Thank You’ die-cuts are from the Words & Wishes dies seen here.

    Just plain stunning! And she is a very new swapper on my Team too! You did a wonderful job Darla!

    Thanks for stopping in today!
