Hello Friends, How are you today? All good?
Me? I am super excited to be participating in Simon Says Stamp blog hop featuring the new “Believe in the Season” release. I really think you will be as pleased as I was with this fun and festive release. To start at the beginning of the hop go to the Simon Says Stamp blog here.
The second I saw “Winter Flowers” I knew I had to get out my markers and color it up… so I have two cards for you today. Speaking of markers they are on sale now a lovely 25% off. It’s a good time to snap up a few markers. (Use code COPICSALE)
First up is a blank card .. festive but, it can work for any season & another reason to love this stamp set. I don’t know about you but, I am always searching for my blank cards.
I drew some stems, cut and colored them. I also fussy cut the berry cluster, popped it with foam tape and added some white gel pen accents. I colored the twine to match my card.
After coloring a simple background I added some heavy weight vellum to soften the colors so I could pop the berry cluster on my card.
For the second card I loved coloring the background using “Winter Flowers” again. I am so in love with this large “Believe” sentiment. Swoon! and to think that there is a matching die cut … that’s in my shopping cart.
Check out my video here. If you get my posts in your inbox … please click on the title to go to the blog post if my video is all wonky. (Sometimes the video covers up most of my post and photos.)
Lucy’s Little Things sequins are always the perfect finishing touch to my cards. I glued the sequins with this. The twine was colored with a marker to match my card.
Just a little shading and white accents can really enhance your coloring.
Just in case you asked here are my marker colors.
GIVEAWAY!! The giveaway is a $25.00 gift certificate to the Simon Says Stamp store. Woo Hoo!! The random winner will be picked from the comments on my blog & will be announced on Tuesday. Good Luck and a big thanks to Simon for the giveaway 🙂
Each hopper has their own giveaway so I encourage you to visit each blog and Im pretty sure you will be wowed.
Next on the hop is the oh so talented Suzy Plantamura . Thanks so much for your visit today I am grateful …. always so grateful. 🙂 Don’t forget to mark your calendars the 30 day coloring challenge is just around the corner. Have a happy weekend, Kathy

Kathy, I was reading all the comments from everyone today and it is so cool how EVERYONE comments on how amazing , gorgeous, beautiful, ( you get the point ) your coloring is. You have this amazing ” talent” for coloring that is untouchable, I was trying for a while to figure out how to word that, we all know there is such amazing talent out there in the craft world that blows us all away, and we all just soak it up learning from them, they are all so wonderful, I didn’t want to sound like I was putting any of them down because I think they all rock, BUT GIRL…Your coloring and the way you ” think out side the box ” on some of your projects, I think you should have your own craft show, or write some craft books, girl you are so meant for more bigger things in this craft world, I think everyone here would agree with me. You rock Kathy.
TOTALLY AGREE!!!
My goodness you are making me blush and smile from ear to ear. Thank you so much for your kind words and your support. I reallyl appreciate you. 🙂
wOW – THIS IS GORGEOUS!
Love your cards and your colouring as well as details are spot on!

you continue to amaze me! just as I was being blown away that you would fussy cut stems, you said you totally cheated!! Ok, not cheating, just a way to do it I had not considered!

Very beautiful card!!

Droolworthy! Thanks for reminding us that we achieve great results with only a few colours. I am now the proud owner of my first set of Copics, after seeing an offer in the UK that was too good to pass up on (at 30% off and with a favourable GBP/EUR exchange rate). It’s an early birthday present from DH. Really looking forward to the next 30D colouring challenge!
Marianne x
So happy for you that you were able to find Copics at a reasonable price. You will have a blast using them and getting familiar with what they can do. 🙂

Your card is beautiful! You’re so talented with using a gel pen to accent things and I love how you outlined in the grey’s. Loved the second layer of paper being trimmed with copics in the greens, too. You are the best, when it comes to coloring with copics. Thanks for sharing your work.
Love your beautiful coloring!

The way the vellum turns down the background so you can see the sentiment, but not covering up the background is so clever! Absolutely love it!!
Wow! Just absolutely beautiful! It is amazing how little details, like the greys around the images, the white gel pen and outlining with black really make the images extra special! It was especially evident in the video as you had some that were not complete. Just beautiful! Thank you for the great video too!
I am gratetful you noticed how those extra little details make a difference. Thank you for your kind words. 🙂
Stunning cards! Love hoe you attached the velum sentiment! so cool!
The winters flowers are so lovely at any time of year. Beautiful card.
BEAUTIFUL CARDS, KATHY! I LOOOOVE the festiveness of your cards & the RICH colors! I LIKE your idea of folding the vellum around the card, to not worry about the adhesive showing. I did that the other day too! LOL HOPE you are feeling better SOON! 😉

So gorgeous, as always Kathy!!
So much beauty to share among friends
You’ve managed to put Winter Flowers at the top of my Wish List after seeing these fabulously coloured cards! Just awesome …
You are the coloring master (or would you prefer “mistress”?). It is relaxing just to watch you color and explain and make the delightful images come to life. Vellum has always been a favorite “embellishment” of mine, so I’m happy to see more card makers using it. I hope your headache and hangover have gone by the wayside. I had to chuckle at your truthfulness in saying you had a hangover. Just keepin’ it real, huh? Not many would say that. Just one more reason I enjoy you, your videos and your stunning projects so much.
Your card has such a dramatic impact! Gorgeous!
Amazing- thank you
Your cards are amazing!!! Love them and this new release:)
Your cards are beautiful. I love how you used the vellum.
Awesome coloring !!
I love your color choices – so cheery and Christmas-y!
These are gorgeous! I love your coloring.
So, now I want to add Copic markers to my list for Christmas!!! Love how you used them for shading…gives me Ideas…Which basic set of Copic marker colors would you start with?
That’s dificult to answer since there are so many starting sets of different sizes. Go for the set that has the most colors you gravitate towards. Do make sure you get a “0” blender marker. I also recommend you think about which type of marker you’d like. Copic Original or Copic Sketch. I personally prefer the Sketch. The sketch holds more ink and won’t roll off your working area. Hope this helps. 🙂
Beautiful card!
Love this stamp set and the many ways to use it, thanks for the great ideas!
Simply beautiful!
Wow…those berries just jump off the page. I love the bright coloring mixed with the frosty vellum
Kathy,
Such a beautiful card! Your coloring skills are to die for. I like this card because it uses traditional Christmas colors, but in a design that is very contemporary for the season. Thank you for sharing you work & for the video! 🙂

Love your Winter Flowers cards. The Vellum is a big hit with me.
You have a talented eye for color and design
This is my first visit to your blog and I love it!
wow! you displayed that set to it’s best!
Kathy, the card is so so nice, the coloring is just so beautiful.
I love these stamps and dies. I am making bunches of Christmas Cards for the holiday season and some Halloween Cards for close friends. I love to use different papers and dies. I also did some organization of my toys!
I really like the bold colors and the crisp design. Thanks for sharing your marker colors.
Geez, this Copic sale (almost) makes me wish I had a collection to add to! I’m seeing quite a bit of vellum being used on all of these lovely projects, and it’s inspiring me to do some of that for my holiday creations. It’s a beautiful look!
Just wow…so beautiful! !! The coloring is amazing and I love the volume over the top to soften it…gorgeous.
Beautiful cards! I really love your use of vellum.
I love how you personalize the images! Those white accents really make these pop!
I love the card, your coloring is always perfect
Gorgeous cards! I am looking forward to your 30 day color challenge in November! Yahoo!
Love what the white dots add to this card. Beautiful!
The coloring is amazing ! What a cheerful card for the holiday ! TFS.
Oh my gosh, the coloring and the stamp are amazing! I need to get more Copics and then I need win lotto or something big to buy them all! After all that, I need to learn how to use them so they don’t look like regular old markers because I know what they can look like. Friends of mine have them, you included, so if I could learn how to use them properly, that would be great! I love how you used the vellum on the front of your card and fussy cut that one thing out. That is such a cool card and since I don’t need a die cutter to make that, only a pair of scissors, I can do that! I’m going to save this under my crafts folder so I can look at it later. I’ll have to get some vellum for this.
I have to tell you something. I’ve been doing a lot of coloring, especially for my Christmas cards and in my coloring books. I took one of my coloring books to The Big E, the 5th largest fair in the country to show 2 people. One is a man who does chalk portraits of people at the fair and one is a guy who demonstrates how to do 18th century paper marbling. Both of them called me an artist! They said all of my colors go so well together and the pages I showed them were beautiful! You would love John who does paper marbling and I can give you his e-mail addy if you want some paper. He sells what he makes and it’s beautiful. I should know because I have some and he lets me also make some!
Nice tip for matching your base paper to your coloring. It really does pop.
Gorgeous and fun cards!
Wow amazing Copic skills!!
Beautiful card!! I can’t wait to try this!! Thank you!
Amazing cards – your coloring is always so fantastic & inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful!!!
Lovely card! I’m enjoying seeing the new items in action.
I just love those flower clusters- they totally remind me of mary engelbreit! so perfect
I love the bright colors on this card! The vellum was so smart to tone some of it down and then put a bright spot back in. Just beautiful!
This card tickd all the boxes. Feels just as heartwarming i Europe as in the US
Beautiful cards! I haven’t worked with vellum before but I’ve seen it so much recently. Guess I’ll have to try it out for myself!
I love the coloring on these beautiful cards. I never would have thought to put gray in between the berry clusters.
o my word – so pretty and inspiring –
Any swede would say they look like Lingon Berries!
I adore this set of stamps and can’t wait to get my hands on them!
I do love this card! And the little sequin accents make the perfect addition! TFS
What can I say Kathy… that has not already been said. Both cards are stunning – the colours are so rich and vibrant and I love that the vellum actually enhances rather than hides all your beautiful colouring, especially when you pop some more flowers on top. Just beautiful! I really love both options, but the vellum panel stole my heart as I love the dimension of the extra flowers on top. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with in the challenge next week 🙂
Great inspiration . Love this new release . Have some great ideas for cards .
Thank you so much for sharing the video,Love your card!!! I can’t wait for the challenge!!
