I love to colour. It is my therapy. You can’t rush it, it calms me down and helps me to relax. I put on an audiobook and go into my own world. Do you enjoy colouring?

The images in this stamp set are perfect for colouring. I love the artwork in the Citrus Bloom set. They are ideal for colouring. I’ve coloured this card using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. This set would work with watercolours as well. It is something I will have to try.

The minute I saw the Snowy Wonder stamp set in the new catalogue, I knew I wanted it. I love all these small images. They are versatile. I have so many ideas for future cards using this set. Today I’ve used the gorgeous little penguin. In my mind, the penguin is dancing with the candy cane. I was thinking of Fred Astaire but as a penguin.

I love this bunny singing in the rain. The story I told myself, was that he was the bunny version of Gene Kelly. So cute!! This card showcases several techniques including colouring with Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers, heat embossing and emboss resist.

The background stamp set is the Drizzling Droplets stamp. It is an online exclusive. When I first saw it I knew I wanted to use it with this bunny from Playing in the Rain. I love background stamps. Do you?

I love butterflies and was so happy to see this new butterfly set in the catalogue. These gorgeous butterflies are watercoloured using the Stampin’ Up! ink pads. If you are going to watercolour, always remember to use suitable paper. I have used Fluid 100 watercolour paper here. Basic White won’t stand up to water as well as Fluid 100 and you are liable to get pilling of your paper.

One trick I employed here is to black heat emboss my images before I watercoloured them. This helps to keep the colour in the lines and stop it flowing everywhere.

I only coloured in the focal image. This spotlights the image and makes it pop. The magnolia is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers. I combined Berry Burst and Bubble Bath to colour the petals and Granny Apple Green for the foliage.

I do love magnolias. They were a joy to see in the streets and gardens this Spring. They made me smile, and this card reminded me of that.

I have this happy hedgehog birthday card to share today. This card is flat with no dimension except for the pearls. As the cost of postage is going up, I’ve been looking at making some cards that will go through as a normal letter. Even the addition of the pearls can sometimes increase the postage as it is too thick for a normal letter. I wanted to show with this card that you can make still cute cards with a minimum or no dimension that will go through at the cheapest rate of postage.

Change it Up – How to Colour on Crumb Cake Cardstock – Little Monkey – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – Lincoln UK

I’ve been watching videos on YouTube showing people colouring on kraft cardstock. I decided to give it a go myself. This card is coloured using the Stampin’ Blend alcohol markers on Crumb Cake cardstock. I love how it turned out.

There are some points I would like to mention. Firstly, the colours show up differently on Crumb cardstock to Basic White cardstock. The colours can look darker and “wetter”. Let them dry and they change quite a bit. The colours lighten and become more defined. If you are unsure do a test on some scrap cardstock.
