Two ways to color a tea cup card?! As a child, I’d sit and color for hours, breezing through a box of new crayons in a few short weeks. When I began stamping 20 years ago my passion for coloring continued. However, I quickly learned that not all paper crafters loved to color as much as I did so I had to come up with a solution. Today’s tea cup card will be presented two ways.
My original sample uses Stampin’ Write markers (if you like to color) and the second, which is demonstrated in the video, is stamped on coordinating cardstock (if you don’t like to color). If you like outline images and wondered how you can get around coloring them, this is going to be a game changer for you!
I’m using the Time for Tea Bundle for today’s tea cup card. This same Bundle is featured in my August’s Stamps in the Mail free card kit. Ordering for Stamps in the Mail will begin on Wednesday of this week, August 8th through Saturday, August 11th. There is only a four day ordering window which will require an exclusive Stamps in the Mail (SITM) host code. You can choose any $50 in product (before tax and shipping), during the specified ordering period, using the exclusive SITM host code, and you will receive a free card kit to make 8 cards. I’ll include a video and PDF tutorial to make stamping with me from home easy and fun. Plus all my SITM customers receive Live with Lisa as an added bonus! I include lots of stamping tips making SITM perfect for the new or seasoned stamper.
You can get more details about my SITM program HERE. And, don’t forget, every $50 product order during August earns a $5 Bonus Days coupon code to use in September. More details on Bonus Days are listed below.
