Hey friends! I couldn’t resist this image from the recent release from Colorado Craft Company. Here I’m featuring the new Anita Jeram Paint the Town stamp set colored with Copic markers (see marker list below).
To start, I created an A2 top folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest cardstock and cut an A2 piece of design paper. I glued the background panel to the cardbase and set them aside.
I stamped the image from the Anita Jeram Paint the Town by Colorado Craft Company on a piece of Hammermill Smooth Cardstock. After coloring the image with Copic markers (see list below), I trimmed the panel to 2.75″ x 4.25″.
Next, I cut a piece of Black Licorice Cardstock by My Favorite Things to 3.75″ x 4.25″ and stamped the sentiment along the bottom with Hero Arts Pigment Ink in Unicorn. I sprinkled Nuvo Embossing Powder in Glacier White and heat set the powder.
Finally, I applied craft foam to the back of the image layer and assembled all the layers as shown.

HEY FRIENDS! I’m still on a roll coloring Anita Jeram images. Today I’m featuring the Kittens & Topiaries stamp set by Colorado Craft Company – it’s one of the older images, but I’m just getting around to coloring it. I’ve got plenty more in my stash to color up so stay tuned!
Next, I stamped the image from the Anita Jeram Topiaries & Kittens on a piece of Hammermill Smooth Cardstock using Nuvo Hybrid Ink in Black Shadow. Afterwards, I trimmed the panel to 4″ x 5.25″. I positioned the Salvaged Brick Stencil by Honey Bee Stamps in place with Mint Low Tack tape by Scrapbook.com and colored in the brick pattern using an E04 Copic marker.
To finish, I adhered a piece of craft foam to the back of the image panel using Beacon’s 3-in-1 Advanced Glue and assembled the layers as shown.

HEY FRIENDS! We’re halfway through the week so it’s time for a happy dance and who better to lead the Conga line than the adorable Anita Jeram critters. I’ve had this stamp on my list for awhile and finally got around to coloring it. I love an image that makes me smile whenever I look at it!
This is a large image so there’s not much more to the card layout. I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Says Cardstock in Fog to 4.25″ x 5.5″ and adhered it to my cardbase. I glued craft foam to the back of the image panel for dimension, but you can use foam tape if you prefer. I centered the image panel on the cardbase and that’s all she wrote!
Hope you enjoyed today’s project! See you again soon!
