Flowering Foils Colored Flowers Cards

These Flowering Foils Colored Flowers Cards were so easy and fun to make, coloring with my Stampin’ Blends! I think coloring almost anything these days is good therapy to calm us from all the news in the world. And Stampin’ Blends really makes it fun!

We are at the last TWO days of Sale-A-Bration 2020! Today and tomorrow are the last days to earn FREE Stampin’ Up! products with a qualifying purchase. Spend $50 and choose one free item. Certain items have a $100 qualifying order. With a $150 order, you can choose Sale-A-Bration items PLUS Stampin’ Rewards. And with a $300 order, you can choose the Little Ladybug Stamp Set in addition.

The Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is a beautiful choice for Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase. These papers are beautiful on their own, as in this card, with Rose Gold and Silver Foil accents. If you like, you can color the papers with various coloring methods. You can use the Aqua Painter and ink, markers, brayer, sponges, Sponge Dauber, and Stampin’ Blends.

For the cards I made today, I simply colored the flowers with Stampin’ Blends markers. You can actually do it rather quickly because you don’t have to be perfect. The Stampin’ Blends do cover the foil outlines a little bit but that’s ok. For a lighter coloring over the whole area, use the Sponge Brayer. Or use Stampin’ Sponges (I cut mine into smaller pieces) or Sponge Daubers to apply ink in more specific areas.

Welcome Easter Lamb Card For a Sweet Friend

Welcome Easter Lamb Card For a Sweet Friend

I’ve seen many people coloring this Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper various ways so I finally tried it on this Welcome Easter Lamb Card For a Sweet Friend. The Flowering Foils paper is one that you can earn FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 Stampin’ Up! purchase until March 31. You can tell from the glare on the photo that this paper has foil accents in Rose Gold and Silver Foil. It’s beautiful but difficult to photograph very well!

I decided to color in the background around all the flowers. You might think (and I thought!) that it would be extremely tedious and ridiculous to color around all those little flowers! Somehow it was not! I got out my Stampin’ Blends, chose Granny Apple Green, and started coloring! It really went pretty fast and I think the Blends marker made it easy. I didn’t feel I had to be absolutely exact and yet it came out just fine! After coloring the background, I decided to color the silver flowers, too! I used Dark Flirty Flamingo.

After the designer paper was colored, I layered it on a card base of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock. I tied around a piece of Whisper White 5/8″ Flax Ribbon with a knot on the side of the card. Then I stamped the lamb from the Welcome Easter Stamp Set and colored him with Stampin’ Blends, particularly with Light Gray Granite. The lamb was die cut with a Stitched Shapes Die and then layered on a scalloped Layering Circles Die in Flirty Flamingo. The greeting is in the same stamp set and is stamped in Flirty Flamingo Ink. It is punched out with the Classic Label Punch.

If you like coloring, just sit down and relax and enjoy coloring this Flowering Foils Paper. And we all need activities that help us relax right now! Here’s a card I made the other day with the Flowering Foils paper without coloring. I even used three different papers on that card! So you can do it either way! The paper is pretty as is, or you can do lots of coloring like I did on my Welcome Easter Lamb Card For a Sweet Friend, but don’t miss out on Sale-A-Bration!

Flowering Foils Cheers To You Birthday Card

This Flowering Foils Cheers To You Birthday Card makes use of three of the designs of the pretty foil-accented designer series paper! I couldn’t stop! I just thought all these papers looked interesting together! No coloring involved on this card as these papers are pretty enough to stand on their own.

The Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper is one that you can get FREE during Sale-A-Bration! Sale-A-Bration ENDS on March 31 so there are only about two weeks left! Don’t miss out!

I started with a Whisper White card base but covered it entirely in this designer paper rather than leaving a margin as we normally do. I wanted the plaid-like pattern to be along the side of the card and then the floral pattern as the main design. Normally we might add a bit of ribbon along the seam between the two papers, but on this card, I added a narrow strip of another of the patterns, a busy one hoping it would show up against the other two patterns. So maybe the whole card is a little “busy” and of course, the foil designs are shiny.

For the greeting, I stamped a greeting from the Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set on Whisper White and punched it out with the 1 3/8″ Scallop Circle Punch. I layered it a piece of Silver Foil punched with the Pretty Label Punch. For an embellishment, I used two of the Clear Faceted Gems.

I think in the photos with some glare from the foil, it might all look like kind of a crazy card, but it probably looks a little better in person! The Flowering Foils Specialty Designer Paper is a really pretty set of papers to play with so consider putting it on your next order this month! This Flowering Foils Cheers To You Birthday Card is an easy one to make!
