Welcome Fall! Hello Crafty Friends! Laurie here again! I was honoured to have been asked to present my colouring using Stampin’ Blends at a playdate this past weekend for fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. So, I thought I would share my card and first YouTube video with you on the First Day of Fall. For My Welcome Fall Card, I used the Right Behind You Stamp Set and a ton of Stampin’ Blends including the Color Lifter which I used a lot in this video!
I mentioned another video and notes in my presentation. I have included those notes and several videos from that presentation at the end of this post for your reference.
Pencil Sketch of Scene
For my card, I stamp multiple times the girls riding the bicycle in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on my Stamparatus to get a good coverage of ink on their pants. Next, I lightly drew in as a guide a simple scene with a sidewalk, a tree, some hills, and clouds. Once I did that, I started my colouring. Here is my very first YouTube video so that you can follow along:

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here! I am sharing My Pumkin’ Spice Card as my Design Team Inspiration Card for Paper Nest Dolls using the new release Fall Emma. I love this time of year with the cooler weather and the turning of the leaves!
Details of My Card
I coloured Emma with my Copic Markers in Autumnal colours with rich oranges and greens. I love her little latte cup and, of course, it needed to be a Pumkin’ Spiced Latte. Not pumpkin, but pumkin’ since that is the way I say it! Lol!
For my card, I had perfect Fall paper for it which even came with tags that matched my theme! I decided to layer a die cut pumpkin and a faux wooden leaf tag behind the pumpkin spice tag. I threaded the twine from the leaf tag through the other tag to tie it all together.
Don’t you just love the latte cup peeking out from behind the central image! I used the matching paper to die cut it out and added an orange heart for pumkin spice like in the coloured stamp. I layered behind the central image a “wooden” fence that was die cut out of paper that looked like wood. A die cut leaf and a couple of Pumpkin Pie rhinestones tie in my Fall theme.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Hello Pumpkin Guest Design Team Card for the Copic for ALLE Facebook Group using Krista Smith Stamps Pretty Pumpkin Digital Stamp. I was so honoured to be asked by this group to be a Guest Designer for their YR (Yellow/Red) Copic Challenge for October. This combination screams pumpkins to me and since I haven’t coloured a Krista Smith image in a while, I thought Pretty Pumpkin would be perfect for my card! Of course, for a Fall card, you need falling paper leaves that I pulled from my stash! Hope you like my take on this Color Challenge!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with My Happy Thanksgiving Card for the Design Team of Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using their sweet Thanksgiving Digital Stamp.
I had so much fun colouring with my Copic Markers all the harvest vegetables and fruit that are overflowing the cornucopia. I thought the Hello Autumn Paper Pad was perfect for my card with such rich autumnal colours. The “Blessings” chalkboard sentiment was from that paper pad as well. The sheet had a number of chalkboards and I just snipped the Blessings one out since I thought it summed up my card wonderfully. I love the die cut pumpkin and wheat stalks that are mounted behind the sentiment giving it some dimension. The “thankful” die was ideal for my card and I love how it overlaps the main focal point of the coloured image. A couple of wooden embellishments and Clear Gelly Roll Pen on the swirls add a final touch to my card.

Today I am sharing with you my Cardinal Anniversary Card using the Toile Christmas Stamp Set and matching Christmas Cardinal Dies by Stampin’ Up! I was asked by a good friend to create a custom anniversary card for her to give to her husband. She mentioned that he loves cardinals and she would like one on the card. So, I decided to that two cardinals, a male and female, would be perfect for an anniversary card. Did you know that cardinals mate for life!
I decided to create a Fall scene with the Woodland Embossing Folder and the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper since they were married in October. I love the copper and gold gilded leaves on the paper! To tie in the gold accents, I embossed the sentiment from the Well Said Stamp Set in gold. For an anniversary card, I had to pull in the hearts with the Stitched Be Mine Dies! Some Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels and Shimmery Crystal Effects on the berries add a bit of sparkle to the card.
I used a number of techniques to colour my birds such as the No-Lines, Flicking and Tip-to-Tip. I included more information below, as well as some colouring videos at the end of this post.
For the male cardinal, I used Cherry Cobbler Light/Dark Blends and the Dark Smokey Slate Blend to darken the shadows in strategic locations, such as his tail, his breast and wing, giving the bird depth. For the female cardinal, I used Crumb Cake Light/Dark Blends and Light Crumb Cake/Dark Cherry Cobbler Blends.
My Cardinals Coloured with Stampin’ Blends
No-Lines Technique
I coloured these beautiful cardinals with the no-lines technique. This technique uses a light colour to stamp the image. For the cardinals, I used the Sahara Sand Classic Stampin’ Pad. The lighter colour gives you a guideline for your colouring without the harsh black lines and makes the image more real and vibrant.
Flicking Technique
Once stamped, I used a flicking technique with my Blends to create a lot of texture. This technique is achieved by applying ink in quick, single strokes. The key to this inking technique is to flick the marker tip across the page to create a single stroke that goes from dark to light.
Holding the marker loosely, start a downward movement towards the paper
As the marker tip touches the paper, quickly move across the paper, bringing your hand up and away from the paper. This will apply more ink at the beginning of the stroke and less at the end.
You may need to turn the paper to accommodate the angle that is most comfortable for you.
Flicks can be left unblended to create texture such as for hair or feathers (like this card). Or, they can be blended out to create smooth shading.
The Tip-to-Tip Technique
To combine two different coloured blends on the female cardinal, I used the Tip to Tip Blending Technique. This gives you a smooth transition of colors and doesn’t end up looking all blotchy where the colors meet. I’ve chosen the Light Crumb Cake Blend and the Dark Cherry Cobbler Blend for the female cardinal.
Brush the tip of the Light Crumb Cake Blend over the tip of the Dark Cherry Cobbler Blend to pick up some color. The Crumb Cake Blend then acts as your brush to apply a mix of both colors.
As you apply the Crumb Cake Blend, the Cherry Cobbler will eventually run out and only Crumb Cake is left. This creates a smooth transition between the two colours. I kept working these blends together until I was happy with the amount of Cherry Cobber I had on the bird.
Don’t worry about your markers being contaminated—all you need to do is run them over some scrap paper a few times and the nibs will clean themselves.

Yesterday was the First Day of Autumn! So I decided to welcome it with my So Grateful Cardinal Card from the Toile Christmas Stamp Set. This stamp set is perfect for Christmas but can also be used for a beautiful fall or Thanksgiving card! I love this time of year with all the beautiful colours as the leaves change!
For part 5 of my colouring videos with Stampin’ Blends, I am demonstrating the flicking colouring technique. The other parts are listed below at the end of this document along with my Notes from a presentation that I did on using Stampin’ Blends.

Hello Crafty Friends! It’s Laurie here with my Hello Fall Design Team Card for Rachelle Anne Miller Creative Studios using her sweet Fall Dance Digital Stamp. With the last long weekend having just passed and children starting back to school, Autumn is just around the corner in Canada. I love the cooler temperatures and the changing colour of the leaves! Such a beautiful time of year! Bet you can guess that it’s my favourite season of the year!
For my card, I used autumnal colours of reds, greens, oranges, yellows and browns that I pulled from the pattern paper. The die cut and embossed leaves match the colours in the scene that I created perfectly! One technique that I used for the fallen leaves is to use the side of my Copic marker to create their shape. It’s amazing how much they look like leaves when you do this, but it’s such an easy technique! I learned this technique from the March 2020 Marker Class “Mourning Fairy” with Sweet Sentiment. I love the wooden picket fence peeking out from behind the focal point! A couple of embellishment including the wooden banner element and the Linen Thread holding the pinecone all tie together the Autumn theme of my card.

For Technique Tuesday, I am sharing the Tip to Tip Blending Technique for my Let’s Gather Together Card using the Gather Together Bundle by Stampin’ Up! I love Fall and all the colours of the leaves that it brings! So, I thought the Tip to Tip would be perfect to showcase those colours! For my card, I create a frame using a Stitched Rectangle and the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper with the leaves “exploding” out of it. I used the Woodlands Embossing Folder as my base behind all the leaves “falling” from the trees. To tie in the Daffodil Delight colour, I used a strip of the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper and one of the leaves die cut and embossed. A strip of Copper Foil Paper and a scattering of Holiday Rhinestones Basic Jewels add a bit of shimmer to my card.
For part 4 of my colouring videos with Stampin’ Blends from my presentation, I am demonstrating the Tip to Tip Blending Technique. The other 3 parts are listed below at the end of this document.
Tip to Tip Blending Technique Chart
Tip to Tip Blending Technique
To combine two different coloured blends on an image, try the Tip to Tip Blending Technique. This gives you a smooth transition of colors and doesn’t end up looking all blotchy where the colors meet. I’ve chosen Calypso Coral and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends for my first leaf.
Stamp the image with Memento Ink.
Apply the Light Calypso Coral and Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to the image. Meet somewhere in the middle with the colors – it doesn’t have to be neat.
With the Dark Calypso Coral and Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends, add a layer of color around the edge of the image.
Brush the tip of the Light Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends over the tip of the Light Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to pick up some color. The Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends marker then acts as your brush to apply a mix of both colors to the center of the leaf. I kept working these blends together until I was happy with the transition where the colors meet.
To demonstrate that this Tip to Tip Technique can work with other colors, I’ve created leaves using Old Olive with Soft Suede and Daffodil Delight with Cherry Cobbler. Don’t worry about your markers being contaminated—all you need to do is run them over some scrap paper a few times and the nibs will clean themselves.

I am happy to share my Country Harvest Card that is using my colouring techniques that I recently presented to fellow demonstrators. For my card, I knew I wanted to use an oldie, but a goodie, the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder! The In Good Taste Designer Series Paper has a photographic image of tiles that I thought would tie in nicely with the embossing folder and the country theme of my card. To further the country theme, I used the Denim Ribbon to transition between the DSP and the Brass Foil piece. I used the Brass Foil as an accent, but you could use one of the new Brushed Metallic Cardstock instead. To finish the card, I used two Antiqued Corners to set off the coloured image.
For Part 2 of my colouring with Stampin’ Blends from my presentation, I am showing the difference between colouring light to dark versus dark to light. For this demonstration, I used the jug from the Country Home Photopolymer Stamp Set. Some people prefer adding ink from light to dark creating a saturation of ink for easy blending. Others prefer to add ink from dark to light creating a lighter coloured image since you use less ink. The two most common ways to add ink are circling and flicking. Each technique produces a particular appearance and knowing how to use them will add depth and variation to your projects.
