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. 

After the storm scenes Save

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!

  • Noel Tidings fun fold Christmas card with video & free project sheet

    Here’s the card I shared on last week’s video; it’s one I made for a long distance card swap I joined.

    Save

    It features the Neutral Noel suite seen here. I used the Noel Tidings bundle along with the Neutral Noel specialty designer paper seen here. My colors include Shaded Spruce, White and Gold.

    Notice the textures on the Shaded Spruce and White layers. These are new embossing folders from the 2026 Holiday catalog; however both are unavailable right now. They’re out of stock but returning later this month.

    *Remember that when you want to know when something is back in stock you can opt in to be notified; this is right on the product item page online. See the Rustic Check folder here and the Softly Woven folder here.

    This card opens in a unique way; the center panel is attached to the right side instead of the usual left side. It’s fun to switch things up now & then.

    I stamped the pine boughs and the greetings using the Noel Tidings stamp set; the dies coordinate with many of the images. See the bundle here.

    I shared how to make this card on last week’s video. You can see it here or click on the link below.

    I also created a free project sheet with measurements. Click here to download or print it. *Remember that I have a bunch of these free project sheets stored on my blog here.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card. You’ll get a few stamping tips from me as usual.

    Each of the cards above has a unique fold and the layouts make the most of the fun tags and printed elements in the kit.

    Most of these cards are special fun fold layouts and one includes a gift card option. I design my card kits to feature the designer paper, ribbons and gems. You don’t need any special stamps to finish them; only greetings.
