Colorado Craft Company | Slimline Floral Cards | Video + Giveaway (Now Closed)
Hello crafters! Today’s video is brought to you by Colorado Craft Company and no, you are not seeing double! I did share their January 2021 release in early January, the one featuring Anita Jeram’s illustrations, and today I have another video to share featuring the brand new Big & Bold release!

VIDEO TUTORIAL
For this video, I decided I’d make slimline cards. These florals are so large, it is only fitting they are used on bigger card size. I started working on all my cards by stamping the images in alcohol marker friendly ink onto Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock. I used my MISTI stamping tool for stamping. I knew I’d be coloring these with my Copic markers, so I stamped images in Memento Tuxedo Black, and similarly to my Anita Jeram cards, I re-stamped the outlines, once images were colored, with VersaFine Onyx Black ink to have true black outlines.
Watch the video below or on my Youtube channel.

When you work with images this large – they are a treat to color. There’s room for experimentation. There’s room to really take your time and enjoy the process. There’s room to try out new techniques or coloring mediums. I was in the mood for alcohol marker coloring, so I used some of my go-to colors and simple coloring techniques to bring these florals to life.

January 13, 2021These stamps are totally awesome. I usually color by using ink pads and daubers.
Del Skinner
January 13, 2021Yana, you make it look so easy! I appreciate that you didn’t like your first attempt at your card and came up with a way to salvage it instead of starting over. I would have started over or given up.
I usually do A-2 cards but really want to learn how to do better slimline cards. The mini slimline cards are my new favorite.
I really enjoy watching your work.
Donna de Gale-Kalloo
January 13, 2021I love therm all! Your cards are beautiful! I love the big flowers, especially the Thank You Dogwood stamp.

Disha
January 13, 2021Such beautiful creations and as always amazing and fun video! I really adore everything you create and you are so inspiring!

Thanks for the lovely chance to be a part of the giveaway 🙂

Alcohol markers and Zigs are my go-to ways to color.

January 13, 2021These are gorgeous designs, love the pretty colouring on all of these. I do enjoy colouring with Copic markers the best.
Scraporcraft
January 13, 2021Great looking samples for the sets. I like the layout of the slimline. Nice way to add soft color.

Shirleen Alexander
January 13, 2021Those are some pretty amazing stamps! Really like the look of the dogwood stamp. I typically go for the 5×7 size cards ( more room to play with) but I have to admit, I am all on board the slim line train. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Donna Oates
January 13, 2021I like coloring best with my Copic markers. Enjoy your videos and your comments about techniques.
Sue Ellen Sherer, Rochester, NY
January 13, 2021My “go to” coloring is also Copic markers, but I do try colored pencils and watercolor once in awhile. I just do’t have as much experience with them yet. I love the way the yellow cardstock sets off the lilac; and the way the grey cardstock sets off the dogwood blossoms. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Marnie S
January 13, 2021I love what you made with these stamps! They are all so pretty. Lilacs are some of my favorite flowers but I’m not sure I’d have the patience to color that one, lol. Love the yellow background on it, too.
Lisa H
January 13, 2021My favorite way to color-Copics!. I also use colored pencils. These big and bold stamp sets are gorgeous, perfect for Slimline cards.
Vickie Davis
January 13, 2021Absolutely beautiful cards! My favorite way to color is pencils but I am wanting to try water coloring.
Sue D.
January 13, 2021These new big & bold sets and all your cards are absolutely beautiful!! I just purchased my first Colorado Craft stamps (B&B cupcake and the hydrangea); can’t wait to get them and start creating. I believe the dog wood +/or magnolia are in my future as well!!
I typically make A2 size cards, but I am enjoying making small gift enclosure cards lately too. You can focus on one special image or element and experiment with a new technique or product in a small way, but that can pack a big punch in that small space. People seem to enjoy these little notes/cards tucked into gifts, left on their desk at work, or in their lunchbox…..
TFS your talent & inspiration. I look forward to ALL your posts and especially your videos!
Toddy
January 13, 2021I love Dogwood flowers and so that stamp set is at the top of my wish list. Wonderful card designs and colors Yana!
Meghan Kennihan
January 13, 2021ABSOLUTELY amazing! I LOVE your coloring and design! So intricate and elegant!
susan goodrow
January 13, 2021your card inspiration is totally awesome such detail great work always!!
Anna Marie Ortiz
January 13, 2021Hi Yana, you’re such an inspiration. I love the dogwood and magnolia but all three bring back memories of the gorgeous blooms and the heady smell of the lilacs in spring. I mostly do A2 but really love the slimline cards. I use my alcohol markers and pencils. Watercolor would be really pretty for the lilacs. Thanks for a chance to win a set from C3. Their stuff is amazing.
Ann Ito
January 13, 2021Stunning cards, as always! I’ve been trying to use Copics and watercoloring but it’s a big learning curve for me so I resort to color pencils with gamsol. Thank you for the chance to win one of these beautiful sets! Love CCC’s Big and Bold series!
jellybeanerz
January 13, 2021I do love what you have done with the big bold floral stamps! I don’t normally care to craft with flowers but I would give these a try AFTER I craft with Anita’s stamps! I can’t wait to give mine a try and possibly share! I am so excited! I love your work!
Valerie Breingan
January 13, 2021I love to brush embossing ink and emboss.These are big and they’d be perfect with the brush embossing technique.
Adriana Duff
January 13, 2021Absolutely gorgeous. My usual favorite card size is A2, but now I’m in love with your slimline cards. I adore coloring, and your magnolia coloring is so smart!
Betty Grandt
January 13, 2021Very nice. You always nudge me into new ways of thinking.
Sharon Gullikson
