Hello Color Paisley: Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers

This card is entered into the Crazy Crafters Project Highlights this week. Click here to see the other great projects and vote for your favourites.

I love colouring with alcohol markers, so I'm very excited about the new Stampin' Blends - which will be available from 1 November! One of the perks of being a Demonstrator is early access to products so I've been having great fun already!

It's fun to create the illusion of depth using Stampin' Blends alcohol markers

For this multipurpose card, I stamped the image (twice) from the Hello Colour stamp set with Memento ink and then coloured it with Stampin' Blends in Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Night of Navy colours.

The greeting from Feather Together is stamped with Night of Navy ink and I used the Paisley Framelits to cut some Night of Navy and Gold Foil . The decorative strip at the top of the card was leftover from a previous project and is made with a die from the Swirly Snowflakes set with a little strip of Gold Foil Sheet behind it.

Hello Color, Paisley framelits and Stampin' Blends alcohol markers

I was originally planning to use Stampin' Write Markers rather than the alcohol markers and by changing my mind I did create a little problem for myself. Alcohol markers do bleed through the cardstock (in this case Thick Whisper White) which looks a bit of a mess on the back. Had I planned (or been thinking straight!) I would have made a layer so that the back would have been hidden. I did consider chopping this card into a layer (and maybe I'll still end up doing that) but I've mostly hidden the mess with an insert.

Stampin’ Blends artist-quality alcohol markers will be available in 12 exclusive Stampin’ Up! colours. Each of the colours has a light and dark shade and there are also two skin tones and a colour lifter - giving a grand total of 27 markers. For a limited-time (while stocks last) Stampin' Up! will also be offering a Color Me Happy Project Kit and Color Me Happy Stamp Set.

Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!

Swirly Metallic Paisley

This card is included in this week's Crazy Crafters Team Highlights. Click here to see the full line up and vote for your favourites.

I've been enjoying metallics recently and this card continues the trend! I was really pleased with the way the Copper Foil Sheet blended with the Kraft and the metallic blue of the Foil Frenzy background sheet.

The black cardstock offsets all the metallic finishes in this card

The metallic decorations are cut in Copper and Silver Foil Sheet using the Swirly Scribbles and Paisley dies. Using the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets on the back of the metallic card makes it so easy to adhere the pieces to the card front - so I even did a little Paper Piecing!

Another metallic piece of Paisley adorns the inside of the card. Greeting from the Guy Greetings stamp set

As you can see - I actually made this card for my husband for Fathers' Day - I apologise for delay in showing it to you!

Thank you for visiting.

Paisley Square

This card is entered into the Crazy Crafters Project Highlights for this week. So see all the other great projects and to vote for your favourites, click here (from 7.30pm).

I made some pretty paisley background paper for this card and the leftover piece had been sitting on my desk ever since then. So, today, I decided to use it up!

The Paisleys & Posies Bundle is so much fun to use!

The decorative panel is made from layers of Basic Black, Pink Pirouette and Basic Gray cardstock. I stamped the banner and sentiment from Thoughtful Banners in Basic Black ink onto Pink Pirouette cardstock and cut it out with the matching framelit. I coloured the ends of the banner with a Smoky Slate Stampin' Write Marker before sticking it to the panel.

I cut layers of paisley with the Paisley Framelits, mixing and matching colours in Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Basic Gray and Pink Pirouette. I partially inked one of the Pasinleys & Posies stamps with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to stamp the little flower and added dabs of white with a Stampin' Chalk Marker.

The decorative panel is popped up on dimensionals.

Such a simple way to dress up the inside of a card

I used leftover pieces of my patterned paper to decorate the inside of the card.

Thank you for visiting.
