Watercolor Pencils are Back! Plus 2 Cards with Inside the Lines Designer Paper

If you love to color, you'll love Stampin' Up!'s new Watercolor Pencils! They are back in stock, so be sure to order yours now!  Plus when you order $50 or more before March 31, you can select a free gift, including the Inside the Lines Designer Paper. Here are a couple of cards using the new paper.

The first card was designed by my mom, Susan La Croix, for our team gathering around Christmas. She cut different color card bases to coordinate with the bright Watercolor Pencils and then let everyone color and blend their own version. Each card looked different! I love this stamp from the Suite Sentiments stamp set. It says: "Everyone needs a friend like you."

The second card was one of our make and takes at On Stage in November. The Designer Paper is cut into three sections with only one being colored -- to spotlight that image. I also used the blender pen with the Watercolor Pencils on this card.

Check out these videos from Stampin' Up! for more tips and project ideas using the Watercolor Pencils and Inside the Lines Designer Paper.

VIDEO: Lift Me Up Double Z Fold Card Tutorial: Floating Hot Air Balloons

I am so excited to share my Double Z Fold card featuring floating hot air balloons from the Lift Me Up stamp set. I absolutely love the way this card turned out! It's like the hot air balloons were made just for this fun fold. And the Carried Away Designer paper (choose it FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-bration!) is the perfect backdrop for the floating balloons.

If you haven't tried the Double Z Fold card yet, you're going to love it! It's super easy. Be sure to watch my video tutorial below to learn how to score the cardstock and assemble the card.
