Hi there, and welcome! Whether you’re here for inspiration, ideas, or just a creative escapeโI’m so happy you’ve stopped by.
On yesterdayโs โLive with Micheleโ I created this card using the Flower Fair by Stampinโ Up! ยฎ, this is a sneak peak for a new product coming in the March Online Exclusives.
This is a simple Tent Fold card, but weโre stepping it up by using the Party Banner Dies to create both the card base and all the layers. Iโve shown exactly how Iโve done this in the YouTube video below so you can follow along step-by-step.
The Flower Fair stamp is perfect for colouring โ and you definitely donโt need to be an expert to achieve a beautiful result. For todayโs card I used the Stampin’ Up! Watercolour Pencils Assortments 1 & 2, blending them with the Colour Lifter from the Stampinโ Blends range.

How I created this look..
Because I used the Colour Lifter (which is alcohol-based) to blend my colours, I stamped my image with Memento Ink onto Basic White Cardstock. I find this keeps the pencil colours nice and vibrant.
If you prefer using Blender Pens (water-based) or Water Painters, you would need to switch to Fluid 100 Watercolour Paper and stamp with the Stazon Ink Pad, as itโs a permanent ink and wonโt bleed with water.
Using the Stampinโ Positioner, I stamped the full image onto a quarter sheet of Basic White Cardstock with Memento Ink. The image is larger than whatโs required for the card, so you can either colour the entire image or just the sections you plan to use.
The brightness of your flowers depends on how much colour you apply. I wanted a bright, happy look, so I pressed firmly with my pencils. Donโt worry about perfect blending at this stage โ the Colour Lifter will help move and soften the colour beautifully.
For each flower head, I used two shades โ one light and one dark โ layering the lighter colour first, then adding the darker shade where I wanted depth and shading.
Colour combinations used:
- Pink โ Fresh Freesia & Melon Mambo
- Yellow โ Daffodil Delight & Pumpkin Pie
- Blue โ Balmy Blue & Night of Navy
- Green โ Granny Apple Green & Old Olive
Once I was happy with the colouring, I die cut all the layers for my card using the Party Banner Dies.
As an extra layer of interest, I also stamped the card insert and left it as a simple black and white image โ but you could absolutely colour this as well if you wanted to carry the brightness through the entire card.
