This month our theme is colouring, so I’ve decided to get my watercolour pencils out!

I’ve used the Timeless Charm online exclusive stamp set to make my card today.

The pencils give a softer look compared to Stampin’ Blends!

The images were stamped with a water resistant ink and allowed to dry completely so it didn’t smudge.

Coordinating ink was used to stamp the sentiment which I die cut with the Stylish Shapes. I used a die cutting trick to create the layer behind.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial…

I added some colour to the background with a blending brush to make the white square stand out.

I used Stampin’ Blends for this version of my card! Which colouring technique do you like to use?

Those of you who follow me regularly will know this is not my usual style of crafting, but I have had a go at making a paper bag mini album.

I’ve used a mix of retiring and newer products to make my project today.

The 2023 In Colour Treat bags form the body of the album. These ones are Boho Blue.

The stamping has been done with Boho Blue and Starry Sky inks… These colours go together so well!

I recently discovered the Of Art & Texture stamp set… Love it!

You can see how I made the album in my video tutorial… It’s a longer video but I hope you enjoy it.

Here’s a view of the inside. Journalling panels were added to the pages, decorated with the same stamping and ink blending for a coordinated look.

Measurements (inches):

  • Front/Back Cover – 4⅞ x 6⅛
  • Spine – 4⅞ x 1¾, score each side at ½ inch
  • Journalling Panels – 4½ x 5¾
  • Front Panel – 4¾ x 6

I also rounded the corners. You can of course add additional layers as you would like.

This sample was made using Wild Wheat and Early Espresso, bring in the Petal Park stamps instead of Colour and Contour, (both sets are retiring)

The panels on the inside were layered on to the darker cardstock (I completely forgot on the blue version)

My card today features the Joy of Noel bundle and some colouring with Stampin’ Blends.

The accent colour in this design is Wild Wheat, which I am using as a substitute for gold. It looks great against the Shaded Spruce card base.

The Noel sentiment is popped up on some mini dimensionals and I have added some sparkle with a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen.

This version uses a Real Red card base. I had originally stamped the panel for the bottom of the card with black ink, but I prefer the softer look using Crumb Cake. Thinking about it now, I probably could have used Wild Wheat too.

This isn’t a theme that sits my usual comfort zone so I turned to the Stampin’ Up! catalogue for some inspiration.
