Cardmaking Tips: 5 ways to color Your images!

Hi friends! Today I taught a free class on how to use 5 different art supplies to color images for paper crafting and cardmaking.

I used the pretty printed postcards that came in the Papercraft Society box I designed! The kit included a large sheet of clear stamps and dies that I designed as well as papers made from my watercolors and foiled vellum die cuts, embellishments and more! You can see the full kit here. You can use whatever supplies you like to follow along with me today. Enjoy the free class!

Supplies (affiliate links used)

• Postcards and watercolor sheets form my Papercraft Society Box available on CraftStashUSA and CraftStashUK

• Pretty Excellent watercolors

• Triblend Brush markers in 3 packs or full set

• Real brush pens (these are refillable)

• Colored pencils

• Tombow waterbased markers

Here are some closeups of the cards:

Left: Vivia watercolor sheets and traditional watercolor, Right Colored pencils. Other supplies are included in the kit.

These feature alcohol markers that blend beautifully on this paper but the ink will bleed through the back of the paper so I recommend gluing them to a card base for professional results. Other supplies are in the kit.

This card features the included Viviva watercolor bookmark as well as traditional watercolor and touches of colored pencil.

This card features water-based markers and features the stamps in the kit. The edges were cut with one of the border dies in the kit.

My Papercraft Society kit was so fun to design! I think there are a lot of useful products in there that you will want to craft with for years to come. I hope this video helped demystify coloring stamped or printed images and I hope you give these techniques and mediums a try soon! Happy crafting!
