WATERCOLOR YOUR WORLD!

Hello crafters! In today’s post, I'm thrilled to dive into a fantastic card-making session where we explore the vibrant world of coloring directly on stamps using Stampin' Write Markers. I’ll be guiding you through some creative ways to utilize the Stampin' Up Watercolor World stamp along with a versatile word set to craft cards that are not only personal but also strikingly beautiful.
Why This Technique? The beauty of using markers directly on stamps is that it allows for a highly personalized touch to your stamping. This method offers the freedom to blend colors, create gradients, and add unique details that make each card a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crafter, this technique is sure to add a new dimension to your crafting skills.
Choosing the Right Materials: While the original word set I used has retired, the crafting world is always evolving with new products. I recommend substituting it with current options like the Stampin’ Up Unbounded Love or Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Sets. These sets not only blend beautifully with the Watercolor World stamp but also offer flexibility in crafting messages for various occasions.

Perfect for Any Occasion: One of the joys of handmade cards is their adaptability. By simply altering the greeting, these cards can transition smoothly between celebrations—be it a loved one traveling, a friend embarking on a mission trip, studying abroad, or commemorating a special vacation. The possibilities are endless, and I'm excited to see which designs resonate with you the most.
Visual Learning: For those who prefer a more visual approach, I’ve included a short video tutorial in the INSTRUCTIONS section below. This video covers everything from the basic stamping technique to more advanced methods like the spritzed and triptych styles, ensuring you can follow along and create all four designs showcased in this tutorial.
Crafting cards is not just about the end product but the joy and relaxation the process brings. I hope this tutorial inspires you to experiment with your Stampin' Write Markers and explore new artistic avenues. Don’t forget to download the free PDF with step-by-step instructions and a complete supply list available in the INSTRUCTIONS section below. Happy crafting, and I can't wait to hear which card designs captivate you the most!
Happy crafting!

The basic technique on all 4 of these cards is the same. I've colored on the stamp with the Stampin' Write markers before stamping on the paper.

I have a few other Watercolor World Tutorials. Type Watercolor World into the search box above to get more.

I created the card design in several card fold styles.

The first card is the basic technique. I colored on the stamp with the markers and then stamped on paper.

Add an arrow to a specific location for added fun.

The next card is created the same as the first, however I used the Water Painter after stamping to blend the colors further.

The 3rd card is created the same, I just cut it into a triptych after stamping.

The 4th card was created the same as the first 2 cards, then I sprizted over the the image after stamping.

This is the same card but I created an easel fun fold.
