This Facebook Live was recorded Tuesday, January 26, 2021 and has very little editing.

For this Facebook Live, demonstrated four different ways to color the True Love Designer Series Paper. I had so much fun playing with this paper and with the different ways to color it!

Coloring Techniques - Blends-1Coloring Techniques - Blends-2

For my first card I colored the flower cluster I had cut out from the True Love DSP. I used Pool Party Stampin’ Blends and the Light Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blend for the flowers and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends for the leaves. I finished the flowers off using Wink of Stella on the petals. They turned out so pretty! I layered DSP onto Pool Party and Thick Whisper White. I also showed how to get a puffed out edge on your dies by flipping them upside down while still in the die and running a scoring tool around the inside perimeter of the die on the paper. I embellished the card using Elegant Faceted Gems. I love the effect!

For this card, I demonstrated how to water color these pretty flowers using Stampin’ Up’s Water Color Pencils and Blender Pen. I love the softness of these flowers and how fast and easy you can color them. I layered the DSP onto Basic Black then Coastal Cabana onto my Thick Whisper White card base. I embellished the card with Black Matte Dots.

This was a fun card to make. I pre-cut a heart from the Stitched Hearts Die set. I flipped it upside down and attached it to the card front using reposition able tape. I used Stampin’ Up’s new Blender Brush with Pretty Peacock ink and blended ink onto the card front. I then listed the heart ad placed dimensionals on the back of it and placed it over the brushed ink. I dyed Whisper White Crinkle Ribbon using the Dark Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blend and attached it to the card with a Heart Charm using Mini Glue Dots. I really like this one. It’s a great Valentine’s Day card for a man in my opinion!

Coloring Techniques - Sponge Dauber - 1Coloring Techniques - Sponge Daubers -2This was a fun card too and may be my favorite of all of them although that is hard to call! I had pre-cut DSP using the Stitched Nested Labels as well as a coordinating Real Red die cut. I chose Real Red, Mango Melody and Garden Green to color these flowers. I used a sponge dauber and left white space to add to the interest of the card. I had stamped the sentiment from the Forever and Always Stamp set and cut it out. I layered this onto True Love DSP and a piece of Black Glitter Paper onto Thick Whisper White. I embellished it with Resin Hearts. I adore this pretty card. It is so interesting and pretty!
