Handmade Christmas card using Stampin' Up Merriest Trees stamp set and dies, Snowflake Sky embossing folder, Shining Christmas paper. Card by Diane Barnes - colourmehappy - stampinupcards - cardmaking - stamping
 
Hello and welcome to a new blog post and a new look here at Colour Me Happy. You're still in the right place, just with more pretty butterflies!

My newest project share is for this week's Just Add Ink challenge which is an inspiration challenge featuring a Christmassy image. Perfect for Christmas in July creating.

The Merry Christmas sentiment on the red mug  reminded me of the one in the Merriest Trees stamp set, so that, the coordinating Merriest Trees dies, and the colours in the image gave me my starting point. Here's how my card turned out.

Hello and welcome. Today I have a new Just Add Ink team project to share with you. This week we have an unusual colour challenge where you can choose to use 3 or 6 of the chosen colours.
I must say this was a puzzling combo for me to start with, but I was drawn to the blues/aquas *no surprise there* and the yellow, and thought they'd work well with the Country Birdhouse stamps and die bundle and my Stampin' Blends markers. In the end I snuck in little bits of the other colours too. Here's how my card turned out.

Hello and welcome! Today I'm sharing my 2024 Stampin' Blends™ alcohol marker colour chart update. The colour chart shows all currently available and retired Stampin' Blends markers as of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue release in May 2024. This includes five new 2024-2026 In Colors.

Stampin' Blends include light and dark shades of the Stampin' Up! colour. The chart makes it easy to see the full colour spectrum and choose shades to blend together. Take a look at my coloured in chart.
