Colouring with Stampin Blends!

 Who loves to colour? I do!! I can spend hours just colouring.  Stampin' Up! has some amazing stamp sets with images that are ideal for colouring with the Stampin Blends.  The Blends are the perfect medium for both beginner and avid crafters alike.  They are sold in pairs - a light and dark shade of each colour, this allows the user to create beautiful projects adding definition and shading to images.

I am offering a Stampin Blends Club as part of my schedule this year and this past weekend was the first of four sessions. The crafters learned the basics of colouring with the Blends.  Good Morning Magnolia is the perfect stamp set to use as it has a large flower image that is ideal for colouring and adding shading.

Each month the crafters will get different colours to build their Stampin Blends collection, we started with Mossy Meadow, Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink.  You don't see the true colours in the photos but you can see how the two shades allow you to add the shading and definition.

As I said, the Good Morning Magnolia is the perfect stamp set to use, not only is the flower large but it also has some definition incorporated into the image.  So it guides you where to use the darker shade and in turn provide the shading.

Once the crafters had finished colouring their flowers, we made two simple cards to showcase their colouring.  We created a flap using the nested label dies that tucked under the embossed cardstock and the magnolia image popped on the front using dimensionals. I added a few embellishments and then added some Wink of Stella - which you can't see in the photos - to the shaded areas


I really like how the project turned out, it really allows the magnolia be showcased along with the Stampin Blends. Check out the products below that I used to make the projects.

Diamond Easel Card

 I thoroughly enjoyed making this card for an extra special lady who is turning 80 soon - one of my regular crafters (she is not on social media so I know I am safe sharing it here!).  At a recent class she had loved the Forever Fern DSP and the colours we had used, so I knew this is what I had to use to make this card for her. The card is a diamond easel fold which is very easy to make, you do need 12"x12" cardstock as you need a 6"x12" piece of cardstock to make the cardbase. I had a pack of in-colour 12"x12" cardstock, so I used a piece of Just Jade as the base colour and then used Pretty Peacock for all the mats. I selected two different DSP designs from the Forever Greenery pack. I used the Forever Fern stamp set to create a bouquet of foliage using a variety of green tone inks - Pretty Peacock, Shaded Spruce and Just Jade. I added a large Just Jade leaf at the back of the bouquet to bring everything together, added champagne foil 80 and finished off ...

Keeping it simple

Today I want to share a project I made this past weekend using scraps of DSP, and a few other elements to make a simple but fun card.  The card would be perfect to make in bulk to send to friends, coworkers and family for the holidays. I started off by using my scraps of Heartwarming Hugs DSP,  I had quite a few smaller pieces from another project I had made (I will share that one another day!) which were perfect to cut into 1" x 3.25" strips. I really like the DSP, perfect colours for the holidays and modern patterns.   I used Pear Pizzazz for the cardbase, added a real red and whisper white layers.  I randomly adhered the DSP strips to the card and stamped the sentiment in real red ink using a stamp from the Christmas Means More stamp set. I cut out two bells from the Sounds of the Season dies using silver and red foil - I cut them out using my new Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine which I totally love, so smooth to use. I used the oval dies to cut out the sent...
