The Just Add Color Suite grabbed my attention because I do love coloring, especially during quiet times at school or (meetings). It helps me focus and stay quiet. What better images to color than Stampin' Up! images?
My first projects are combined in one package:
I made a color your own cards kit. My students love coloring and I knew I had to create something awesome with these little pencil kits I found. The cards are in a cello bag and the entire project is tied together with some Daffodil Delight Stitched Ribbon.
Here is a collage of some of the cards-- using the 4 sheets of Designer Series Paper, I made 25 cards, so I now have 4 kits of 6 ready to go!
Basically, I took the sheet of Just Add Color Designer Series Paper and trimmed out rectangles of the images. The houses and teapots were easier than the sea, but that turned out ok too. I then added a matte and background out of contrasting colors: Black and Pool Party, Pacific Point and Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo and Bermuda Bay. I also added some sentiments from other stamp sets and left some blank.
The pencils are held in a little paper stand that I created using one strip of Designer Series Paper, which I will give more details about Sunday.
My next project is one that my students have inspired. Middle school students love notebooks, sketchbooks, and coloring. I combined all that in one!
This can be made with a variety of notebooks. I happened to have one that Stampin' Up! used to offer. First, I cut my Just Add Color Designer Series Paper to size and then I used the Pocket framelits to create a 3D pocket using Bermuda Bay. I added a stripe of Berry Burst for color. The Crafting Forever Stamp set is a perfect complement to this paper, providing the visual tools for the creativity. Inside the journal, I stamped on the pages. They can be colored or simply serve as inspiration.
The aquapainter is one I got in kids' coloring kit and it's short. The pencils are from the April 2017 My Paper Pumpkin. Perfect fit!
I had a million more ideas, but I'll save them for later! I hope you enjoyed the Just Add Color stop of the Inky Friends Suite Designs Blog Hop.
