2 more beautiful scenes with the After the Storm stamp set with video

May 28, 2021

Yesterday I shared the details on two cards featuring the After the Storm stamp set seen here. Today I'm sharing two more.

Save

Creating scenes is one of my favorite stamping techniques and this set features distinktive images we've never had before.

Save

My color scheme here is So Saffron, Balmy Blue, Black & White. I did use our fabulous Blending Brushes to achieve the sky background. They really do help you get a smooth finish. Although here I wanted the sky to be slightly imperfect with light and darker areas for a cloudy look.

Save

Here I created a mask for the sun using a 1 1/2" circle and sponged in So Saffron ink. Then I stamped the sun's ray's. To accent them I added the thin lines using 2nd generation Balmy Blue ink. You can sponge the sky before or after you stamp the sun's rays. Since it's a light color ink it really doesn't matter.

Save

For the card below I used the rock & roll technique for the clouds. You can see how this is done in the video below. I used Smoky Slate and Balmy Blue ink on the cloud images.

Save

Within the clouds I sponged a hint of a 'sun' with a sponge dauber & So Saffron ink and added the sun rays from that. All images are from this stamp set except for the trees; they are from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set. The White greeting is 3/4" thick and the left end is punched with the Treasured Tag Pick a Punch.

Below is the video for both of these cards & two more!

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

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.

Save

I'm sharing two today and will give the details on the other two tomorrow.

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.

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!

You’re a Peach fun fold swap card

May 26, 2021
I actually love to create swap cards. There's something rewarding about creating multiples of the same cards.

How do swaps work? I know many people are curious…. You create one design and make multiples of it; usually for as many of that card as there are people in the swap. Swapping saves so much time and you get samples using products you don't have to buy. There are so many benefits of swapping but for most of us, the main reasons are it's fun and to get samples we didn't have to design.

I have gals in my Flowerbug's Team that join just so they can swap! Right now the JOIN+ offer is so great I hope you'll consider it if you are not already a Demonstrator. The value is incredible! If you have a wish list over $150 you really need to consider this!

I created the card below for a Flowerbug Team swap this month. My gals can take part in our monthly swaps if they'd like to. It's a great opportunity to get a variety of cards to use or share.

For this card I used the You're a Peach suite seen here. It's on pages 60-61 in the Annual catalog.

Save

The card base is Pale Papaya and I added Balmy Blue, Pear Pizzazz, Calypso Coral and White accents. The greeting die is from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here. I layered it with Pale Papaya CS.

You might wonder how I achieved the 'blushing' peach image. I inked the three peaches (all on one stamp) in Pale Papaya and before I stamped I sponged on a bit of Calypso Coral on the outer edges of each.

Here's the sequence of stamping the main image:
1. Stamp the leaves image twice on the White CS using Pear Pizzazz ink. I stamped off once first.
2. Ink and stamp the peaches using the technique mentioned above.
3. Add Balmy Blue ink all over using Blending Brushes. Be sure to use a light hand and start off of the card stock.
Here's a look at the inside:

Measurements:
- Pale Papaya card base 5 1/2" square, score at 4 1/4"
